BY ASHLEY MACKIN At the April 9 La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) meeting, city representatives offered updates on various projects around town, including a cleanup of the Torrey Pines Road pedestrian bridge, progress on the Shores lifeguard tower and a planned expansion of the City Attorney’s “Beach Area Community Court.”

Justin Garver, a recently-appointed community liaison for the office of District 1 City Council representative Sherri Lightner, said the pedestrian bridge that spans across Torrey Pines Road where it becomes La Jolla Parkway, is undergoing a cleanup and repair to improve safety.

Responding to community concerns about visibility on the bridge — often dark in parts

due to overgrown vines and bushes — as well as a homeless population that sometimes sleeps there, Garver said Lightner’s office sent crews to clear the vines where accessible.

The eatery specializes in traditional, white linen afternoon tea service, which includes choice of fresh brewed tea, finger sandwiches (smoked salmon and cream cheese, cucumber and “coronation chicken”), plus an array of fresh-baked sweets, including scones with jam and clotted cream — a thick, heavy cream with the consistency of butter that must be imported from England.

Village Merchants prep for Earth Day event and ‘La Jolla-opoly’ launch, note recurring Cove odor

BY PAT SHERMAN The La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) — the nonprofit group that manages business improvement district funds in the Village — discussed its upcoming La Jolla-themed board game, an Earth Day event to draw attention to Village businesses with eco-friendly practices, and the slowly returning smell at La Jolla Cove at its April 9 meeting.

marine mammal excrement (including installation of a gate in the fence above the Cove to provide easy public access to the

The city applied another treatment of microbial foam to the bluffs on April 10 that digests bird guano, in advance of last weekend’s Concours d’Elegance auto show.

However, LJVMA Executive Director Sheila Fortune noted that the city has more recently determined the smell to be generated to a larger degree by waste from a growing sea lion colony at the Cove.

FROM LA JOLLA SHORES ASSOCIATION, AA1 Larry Hesselgesser said the vines and plants that cover the domed, enclosed fence create a dark, semi-private area that is inviting to homeless people and removing the foliage would make the area less appealing.

As for areas that are harder to clean up, such as the top of the domed fence, Garver said, “the easiest thing to do is cut the vines and allow them to die so it’s easier to clean them up and get them out of cracks and crevices.�

The lights along the pathway at ground level were also checked and burned out bulbs were replaced. ■Lifeguard tower fix: Regarding the new Shores lifeguard tower (at which lifeguards report visibility issues during certain times of day due to the type and angle of the glass in the windows), Lifeguard Lieutenant Rich Stropky said a “mock-up� and conceptual design for how the tower will be re-configured will be shown to lifeguards shortly. The redesign involves replacing windows at alternate angles, with minimal changes to the structure.

At the next LJSA meeting, a presentation will include more specific details, a timeline, and whether the summer construction moratorium will be observed.

A new contractor has been brought on for

the redesign. “In the (contractor’s) research, one of the most important things found is that there is no real documentation on how an observation tower’s glass should be tilted or to what degree, except (as guidelines provided by) the Federal Aviation Administration, so that’s what we’re applying to this project,â€? Stropky said. “They will have it on paper that the glass needs to be at a certain degree and of a certain quality. So we’re moving toward that ‌ for future towers. That is probably what we will adapt.â€?

To ensure safety during problematic hours, lifeguards have added concurrent coverage at adjacent Tower 32 — particularly during times when the angle of the glass causes “ghost images,� in which people appear to be on one end of the beach when they are actually at another, as well as distorted views. ■Community Court: Community and Government Relations Officer Julio DeGuzman, with the San Diego City Attorney’s office, discussed the city attorney’s Neighborhood Prosecution Unit, and within it, a Beach Area Community Court, currently underway in Pacific Beach. He said the City Attorney’s office would like to expand this service program, whereby misdemeanor first-time criminals

FROM VILLAGE MERCHANTS, AA1 which costs more than $100,000 per two applications in one year, as ineffective in dealing with the current source of the smell.

La Jolla Shores attorney Norm Blumenthal represents a nonprofit organization comprised of business owners and residents that filed suit against the City of San Diego late last year for failing to rid La Jolla Cove of the odor.

Though the city responded to the group’s request to install the gate, in an e-mail Blumenthal said the organization, Citizens for Odor Nuisance Abatement, is “not satisfied with the partial relief.� “There are still many smelly days at the Cove,�

Blumenthal wrote. “We are going to court on May 16 ‌ to ask for further relief from the city within the next 90 days or, if not provided, then a trial date.â€?

The group is asking the city to install stairs and handrails near the gate “so pedestrians can safely walk on the rocks and go out to the edge,� as well as $30,000 to retain a seal lion trainer who Blumenthal says can train the sea lions within 90 days to “hang out at another rock.�

In an e-mail, Stacey LoMedico, the city’s assistant chief operating officer, reaffirmed the city’s position that there is “no funding� allocated for the stairs and handrails, adding she had not previously heard of the sea lion trainer proposal. Blumenthal said his client can solve the odor problem via the stairs, rails and trainer for less then $50,000. “The prior spraying for $150,000 was, respectfully, felony stupid and expensive,� he maintained.

LoMedico said the city has no further cliff treatments scheduled at this time. â– Roll those dice: Fortune said the LJVMA should

can avoid court, to La Jolla. “What we do is we prosecute offenders of misdemeanors and low-level infractions,� he said, such as someone who gets into a fight at a bar or people who or urinate in public, and offer them beach cleanup service in exchange for having the charges dismissed.

He explained, “The police give them a citation and offer them community projects as an alternative to going to court.

Once they complete their service, we rip up the ticket and they don’t get a criminal record, and the community benefits because the (offenders) have to clean up the parks and beaches.�

With the Pacific Beach Community Court, which sees approximately 50 offenders per month, four hours of beach cleanup is required to expunge the offense.

Fines attached to Community Court are $40, as opposed to the $275-450 regularly assessed for misdemeanor crimes, DeGuzman said. These funds, LJSA member Terry Kraszewski said, could theoretically help pay for a ranger at Kellogg Park — a request the organization has been making for years.

To adopt the program in La Jolla, misdemeanor crimes must be reported so police have documented justification to establish the Community Court. Northern Division can be reached at (858) 552-1700 or via its 24-hour non-emergency hotline

know how much it will cost businesses to buy a space on its Monopoly-inspired La Jolla board game by the end of this week. She said they hope to have the game manufactured and ready in time for the summer tourist season at the end of June or early July.

The game (not licensed or produced by Parker Brothers), will include appropriately alternate game pieces such as a surfboard or flip-flops. Spaces will be named after local businesses or streets.

Board member and C&H Photo co-owner Leon Chow said he has his eye on purchasing the spot where New York Avenue would be — the last orange property and one of the most landed-on in Monopoly. Chow said he may deem it “Upper Girard Avenue� (where his store is located).

Proceeds from sales of the game (which proved a successful fundraiser for Ocean Beach’s business improvement district group) could be used as “seed money� for LJVMA to create its next big fundraising event (since the organization is currently lacking one), Fortune said. ■Eco-friendly campaign: The LJVMA partnered with San Diego-based ProductBio to kick off a “Clear and Green� campaign to highlight Village businesses with sustainable and environmentally conscious practices.

Participating business will display a poster in their window or on their counter explaining how they are helping reduce trash or carbon emissions, conserving energy or selling products produced in a sustainable or environmentally friendly manner.

LJVMA will kick off the campaign during a public event, 6-8 p.m. April 22 (Earth Day) at Mangelsen Images of Nature Gallery, 7916 Girard Ave. ProductBio posters will be displayed at the gallery, and posted inside the respective shops after the event. Wine, artisan coffee, and

at (858) 484-3154. â– In other LJSA news: The LJSA voted to support an exemption to the summer construction moratorium between Memorial Day and July 3 for construction on the North Comfort Station. The privately funded restroom renovation is underway, but changes in permit requirements delayed construction. Though originally slated for completion in May, plan organizer Mary Coakley-Munk asked LJSA to support an exemption, so construction can continue uninterrupted. However, local surf camps often use the area next to the comfort station as a drop-off spot for their campers, so member and Surf Diva co-founder Izzy Tihanyi suggested the support come with a request for an appointed alternate, temporary drop-off spot, which the board approved.

The LJSA also held its annual officer’s election at the April meeting, during which Tim Lucas was elected to remain as chair, new board member Susan Thomson Tschirn was elected vice chair, Dolores Donovan was elected to remain as secretary and Ray Higgins was elected treasurer. ■Next Meeting: The La Jolla Shores Association next meets 6:30 p.m. May 14 at the Martin Johnson House of Scripps Institute of Oceanography, 8840 Biological Grade.

Other merchants interested in participating can visit productbio.com/ about/events or call Angela Chen at (415) 598-8554. ■Grant score bump: Fortune said after meeting with city officials last week regarding the LJVMA’s request for $70,000 in Economic Development and Tourism Support (EDTS) grant funding, LJVMA received a score of fourminus. The organization received 50 percent of requested funds last year after receiving a score of three-plus.

Fortune said she’ll know in May whether they will receive EDTS money and, if so, by how much in June. ■Pay-to-promote: The LJVMA is continuing its efforts to alert those doing business in the Village that they need to obtain a business tax certificate (formerly known as a business license) to operate. A portion of the fee goes back to the LJVMA to help bring customers to the Village by improving and promoting the business district through events and advertising.

Board members have been walking door-to-door to obtain this information. Fortune will meet with officials at the city treasurer’s office sometime in May to provide them with an updated list of those who have current business tax certificates. Fortune said anyone receiving a IRS form 1099 in the Village must obtain a business tax certificate. ■Board member departing: LJVMA treasurer Justin Stewart is leaving the board due to a promotion with OpusBank that will take him out of La Jolla. ◆ — Additional

LA JOLLA LIGHT - APRIL 17, 2014 - AA3

FROM MARY’S ENGLISH KITCHEN, AA1

Mary’s English Kitchen

Pastries are served on a three-tiered platter, with artfully mismatched bone china cups and saucers.

“You’ll never get the same thing over and over,” said manager Scott Gardner (Brown’s nephew). “That’s traditional in England for afternoon tea.”

The eatery also serves cakes, breakfast items (including omelets and eggs Benedict), sandwiches, soups, salads and their special chicken pie, loaded with tender white meat.

Nearly everything is prepared from the handwritten recipe books of Alison Brown’s late mother, Mary, whose only trip abroad was a two-week sojourn to La Jolla with her husband, to visit Alison.

“My mother had never stepped outside of England before, and this is only place that she came to,” Brown said. “I’ve still got photographs of her down at the Cove. … She just loved La Jolla.”

Brown said her mother baked everything from scratch, using produce grown by her father. “She was an amazing woman,” Brown recalled of her mother, born in Exmouth, a seaside parish in the English county of Devon. “We grew up in a household where people were always coming in and out — and it was all kind of around the kitchen and the food that she would prepare.”

Brown immigrated to the U.S. last summer with her partner, Mary’s English Kitchen co-owner, Cecile Ward, after the couple sold their occupational health services company of 18 years to an American firm.

Ward, having been the beneficiary of many of Mary Brown’s home-cooked meals, served as primary taste-tester while they perfected the recipes.

“I knew exactly what they should taste like, so I was a bit picky on a couple of the things, such as the pastry for the quiche,” Ward said. “She’d say, ‘Is this mummy’s?’ and when they’d get the exact (flavor), I’d go, ‘Yep, that’s the one.’ ” Each tea service comes with an egg timer, so patrons can gauge how long to steep their tea for light, medium or bold flavors.

“It’s not a cliché — English people do drink tea all the time,” Brown said, noting that stateside the water is typically not served hot enough.

“You have to have boiling water to drink it correctly and get the best flavor,” she said.

A proper scone is firm on the outside and flaky on the inside, Brown also noted.

“They need to break (apart) easily enough, but not when you put your butter or your jam and cream on them,” she said.

When it comes to scones, Mary’s sticks with the tradition — plain and raisin — Gardner said.

“They (best) complement the cream and

Mary’s English Kitchen manager Scott Gardner peruses his grandmother’s recipe book from which nearly every item on the menu is prepared. the jam,” the latter of which is produced from locally sourced fruit by La Jolla-based Soledad Jam, he said.

“We’re just in the process of speaking to a butcher to prepare our English sausages for us as well,” Gardner noted.

The atmosphere at Mary’s is bright, open and inviting, with soft music playing in the background — a place where one can imagine their only care to be engaging in the common English debate of which should be applied first — jam or cream.

“I put my jam on first,” Brown confided.

On April 4, Brown and Ward offered a presentation on England with scones and

tea for students during The Gillispie School’s International Day. Brown and Ward say they also plan to offer tea parties and etiquette classes for young girls, where they learn the proper way to serve tea and how to comport themselves at the table.

Team Top Gun, named after the 1980s iconic movie, adopted the motto of being “the best of the best” by winning one national title, five Southern California Sectional and five San Diego Regional Championships.

The group was led by Coaches Solomon Liu and Patrick Henry High Coach Karen Ronney, and they worked with the junior players over a four-year period. The kids played together and built lasting friendships through the 12s and 14s age divisions.

To celebrate Team Top Gun Day, the players ate lunch at Kansas City BBQ, the downtown San Diego restaurant where scenes from the movie ‘Top Gun’ were filmed more than 20 years ago. The team was in awe of the wall art of actors Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis, as well as the hundreds of military caps hanging from the ceiling like shining stars, and photos of airplanes embossing the walls.

FROM SECRET GARDEN TOUR, A1 the event had five people, Marrone added, but has since grown to more than 50 participants. Additionally, there are volunteers who help the event run smoothly, a tradition that started the first year and continues today. Volunteers keep an eye on tour guests to make sure they don’t trip or fall, and give homeowners a sense of security.

The second year, the committee implemented the Platinum Tour, in which participants are shuttled between gardens with docent guides and have access to one exclusive garden that is open just for them.

They’re also treated to lunch. The first year 50 tickets were sold, now organizers sell 100. Tickets for the Platinum Tour are $150 and can also be picked up at the Historical Society.

The location of the gardens has also changed over the years, Marrone said. The first year, gardens across La Jolla were featured. The second year, the committee decided they would focus on one neighborhood per year, starting with the Country Club area.

The third year (2001), gardens within the Beach-Barber Tract were featured. Marrone volunteered her garden for the tour — partially because her home had been

The front of Wisteria Cottage becomes a garden boutique during the tour. COURTESY designated historic (the committee tries to include at least one historically designated garden) and also because, having been involved since the tour’s inception but never as host, it was time.

Soon after, the committee decided to go back to the multi-neighborhood tour because residents became frustrated with the sudden onset of people when the gardens were all in one neighborhood.

With the diverse communities featured, committee members sought out diverse gardens, and expanded the criteria to include non-traditional gardens. “One year

we had a house on the oceanfront on the tour, which didn’t really have a garden, but it had the La Jolla seascape,� Marrone said. Another year, a home owned by the late actor Cliff Robertson was featured because “it isn’t a flower garden, but it’s an acre and half of rolling green lawns and trees,� she said.

Having found success with the actual garden part of the tour, committee members sought other ways to improve the experience.

Two years ago, the pickup system for the maps and wristbands required for attendance

was made more convenient. Attendees now have the option of picking up their maps and wristbands the day before the event or the day of, minimizing wait times.

Last year, the committee introduced the Garden Boutique, for which the front of Wisteria Cottage becomes a mini mart with garden decor and accents, as well as jewelry and antiques. Participants do not have to be on the tour to visit the boutique, which is open 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The Secret Garden Tour is a primary fundraiser for the La Jolla Historical Society along with the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance, which executive director Heath Fox said is “fundamentally important to our business model.�

Fox added, “These sources of funding support year-round exhibitions in the Wisteria Cottage Galleries with free admission to the public, and help us present no/low cost education programming for both adults and youth.

Both the Secret Garden Tour and the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance are important and beneficial community events, providing rewarding experiences to attendees, bringing visitors from elsewhere to the Village, and providing economic benefit to La Jolla merchants during a period off-season of the summer tourist trade.� ◆

Planners OK cell tower for Cliffridge park â– Early departure of trustee opposed to project leads to change in recommendation

tunein

AM 600 KOGO News Talk Radio

La Jolla Community Planning Association that demonstrates compliance with FCC regulations and the report that was prepared states that AT&T is operating at 4.6 percent of the allowed EMF level.�

DePratti said the EMF level emitted from an operating cell site is no different than the level emitted from fluorescent lights, a cell phone, microwave or hair dryer. The EMF report can be obtained by e-mailing Depratti at DDGardner@deprattiinc.com Meeting attendees nevertheless expressed concern about radiation levels.

Sam Armstrong, who has served on the board of the Moores Cancer Center for more than 25 years, told those in attendance there is still a lot of debate surrounding

Saturdays at 8 a.m.

the safety of radiation emitted by cell phone towers. “There are a lot of very smart people out there that say it could be a problem,� he said, noting that the government once told people that there was no risk associated with asbestos or cigarette smoking.

Armstrong said the FCC regulations were established many years ago, pointing to more recent reports of birds in the immediate vicinity of cell towers losing their feathers and fleeing their nests.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has urged the FCC to reconsider its radiation standards, and does not recommend cell towers be located next to schools, such as Torrey Pines Elementary (adjacent to Cliffridge Park). “Kids are much more vulnerable to medicines, radiation — you name it,�

Armstrong said. “Their bodies are growing very rapidly and their cells are far more sensitive to

changes in the environment than adults, by far. “Basically, by approving this, you’re throwing the experiment to your kids or your grandkids who are playing on the soccer fields saying, ‘It’s OK, we’ll figure it out later.’ ‌ There’s a smarter place to put (the cell tower).â€?

La Jolla Shores Association Chair Tim Lucas, who also serves on the La Jolla Shores PRC and pulled the item from the LJCPA’s consent agenda for further discussion, said there should be a city master plan showing how many cell phone antenna sites are permitted in a given area.

DePratti said Verizon is building another site in the Shores, at Allen Field, so there should be no concern about additional cell providers setting up shop at Cliffridge Park.

La Jolla Shores Association member and project opponent Mary Coakley-Munk, along with La Jolla Youth, Inc. President Mike Wintringer, who oversees

BY PAT SHERMAN During its April 3 monthly meeting at the La Jolla Rec Center, La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) board trustees narrowly approved installation of a third cell tower in Cliffridge Park, requested by AT&T. A representative for AT&T provided a full review on the proposal, after it was pulled from the LJCPA’s March consent agenda.

Representing AT&T, Debra DePratti, whose company orchestrated installation of existing Sprint and T-Mobile cell phone towers at Cliffridge Park, said AT&T’s proposed 30-foot-tall faux Eucalyptus tree topped with 12 panel antennas and an adjacent equipment enclosure would be located next to Sprint’s existing cell facility. It would be

built into a slope and not visible from the sports field directly to the east. City officials asked AT&T to replace invasive ice plant on the slope with natural landscaping.

During its March 25 meeting, the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC) voted 4-3-0 that findings could be made to approve a conditional use permit (CUP) for the project.

DePratti said the tower is needed because AT&T has weak reception in the area. A notice about the project was mailed to 175 homes in the immediate vicinity.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996, along with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which oversees Electromagnetic Field (EMF) levels, prohibits state and local governments from denying cell sites based on potential health risks in relation to EMF emissions. “Local jurisdictions don’t have any purview,� DePratti said, “but as part of our application process we are required to submit a report

would place the antennas “way up there out of the play area.”

Merten said damage to the field could be thwarted by building the tower “piecemeal” with scaffolding, if necessary.

Trustee Ray Weiss, who also supports the project, said he was not swayed by radiation fears.

“Anyone who carries a cell phone without the same concerns is a hypocrite,” he said.

DePratti’s construction manager, Tim Henion, said the work could not be done without driving onto the field. However, he said a lightweight truck with a lift could be used, in lieu of a crane, to keep tires from trenching the field.

Trustee Dan Courtney made a motion not to approve the project based on its size and scale compared to existing cell towers in the park, its potential to expand, its proximity to schools and potential damage to public facilities (the leased field). His motion further requested AT&T seek a location further away from playgrounds and schools. Trustee Fran Zimmerman seconded his motion.

Though Courtney’s motion

LJCPA trustees narrowly approved AT&T’s request to build a cell tower in Cliffridge Park, similar to this existing one there installed by a competing wireless communications provider.

ASHLEY MACKIN

passed the committee by a vote of 7-6, a discussion ensued about whether trustee Patrick Ahern (filling in that evening as chair), could weigh in on the matter, creating a tie that would cause Courtney’s motion to fail. After some discussion and consultation of Robert’s Rules of Order (the leading text on parliamentary procedures), it was determined that Ahern could not change the vote by weighing in. However, he subsequently requested a justification and clarification of Courtney’s motion to assure it

passed muster with city officials.

“The reason I’m doing this is to maintain the credibility of the Community Planning Association,” Ahern said. “If we go forward with a motion that isn’t clear and we have no grounds for the basis of our decision, I’m uncomfortable with that.”

The LJCPA voted to rehear the item, although by the time they voted on Courtney’s “clarified” motion, project opponent and trustee Bob Collins had left the meeting, creating a 6-6 tie, which was broken by Ahern, who voted

against Courtney’s motion.

In the end, the LJCPA vote 6-7 in favor of a new motion to support the project (essentially affirming the PRC’s favorable March motion, which includes a mandate that all trenching be done outside the sports field fence). Trustee Robert Mapes suggested adding to the motion that the tower is built in a manner least destructive to the adjacent sports field.

Ahern suggested that DePratti meet with La Jolla Youth, Inc. to discuss construction details further.

LJCPA member Don Schmidt said he appreciated trustees consulting Robert’s Rules of Order, though he cautioned the board to find an officer or outside consultant designated by the LJCPA to serve as its expert in parliamentary procedure and Robert’s Rules of Order.

“This organization is going to find itself in a world of hurt if it doesn’t get a handle on this,” Schmidt said. “I’m all about process and you’ve got to do it correctly, or you’re going to be … at risk of a potential lawsuit somewhere down the line.” ◆

youth baseball play at the park, met with DePratti at the site in December. Wintringer said La Jolla Youth, Inc. spends $100,000 a year to maintain Cliffridge Park, and is concerned that work trucks would damage the sports field during construction.

DePratti said her client informed the city’s Real Estate Assets department that they would repair, reseed or re-sod the entire field, and repair any irrigation damaged during construction.

Coakley-Munk said AT&T’s equipment enclosure would be too close to the sports field.

“I am very concerned to think that Real Estate Assets and Park and Recreation would allow this without speaking with their tenant (La Jolla Youth, Inc.),” she said.

However, LJCPA trustee Phil Merten, who supports the project, said the public demands better reception and noted that children are only in the park several hours a week, during games, limiting their exposure.

“It’s in probably one of the best locations in La Jolla that we have for this type of use,” Merten said, adding that the faux tree’s height

Planning association elects officers, dismisses election challenge La Jolla Community Planning Association

Recently elected La Jolla Community Planning Association board trustees (from left): Jim Ragsdale, Bob Collins, Robert Mapes, Alex Outwater and Rob Whittemore (not pictured is new board president Joe LaCava). Trustees take a vow to fairly and impartially consider all points of view, refrain from self interest and comply with association bylaws and city council policy 600-24. PAT SHERMAN Toni Crisafi, who certified and announced the results during the meeting. The LJCPA board consists of 18 trustees elected by LJCPA general membership who serve fixed, three-year terms, for no more than six consecutive years. LCPA bylaws provide exceptions to term limits if there

are not enough candidates running to fill vacant seats.

The La Jolla Association argued that an election committee should have been established no later than the first week of January to adequately publicize the board vacancies and recruit more candidates than there are

available seats (per LJCPA’s bylaws), the lack of which, the challenge contends, led to a shortage of applicants that allowed termed-out trustees Jim Fitzgerald and Joe LaCava to run for an additional three-year terms. Both received more than two-thirds of the vote, as required

▲

BY PAT SHERMAN The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) — which makes recommendations to the City of San Diego on land use matters — began its April 3 meeting by addressing a challenge to the results of its annual election by the La Jolla Association.

The La Jolla Association was founded in part by La Jolla Shores resident Bob Whitney to ensure the city and the La Jolla Community Planning Association provide “credible representation” and respect La Jollans’ “individual property rights.”

(The LJCPA board has repeatedly voiced opposition to Whitney’s proposed three-story, mixed-use project in La Jolla Shores.)

The election was held March 6, the day of the LJCPA’s monthly meeting, and a tally was presented to outgoing President

by LJCPA bylaws for trustees vying for a third term.

Addressing meeting attendees, immediate past LJCPA president Toni Crisafi said the LJCPA responded to the La Jolla Association’s challenge on March 25, stating its belief that the challenge has no merit. Crisafi said he then contacted the San Diego City Attorney’s office, which replied that it was “taking no exception to the (LJCPA’s) response at this time.”

The top six vote recipients in the election — Fitzgerald, LaCava, Bob Collins, Alex Outwater and write-in candidates Jim Ragsdale and Rob Whittimore — each received three-year terms.

The seventh top vote-getter, Robert Mapes, will fill the remainder of an open seat expiring in March 2015.

LJCPA second vice-president Patrick Ahern, who chaired the April 3 meeting in the absence of a current president or first vicepresident, said the city took no exception with Fitzgerald and LaCava being seated.

However, Fitzgerald

Inna Lagrum 1919 - 2014 Inna Lagrum passed away after an extended illness on Sunday, March 30, 2014, at

her home in La Jolla, CA. Inna was born to Richard Ferdinand and Ludmilla Lagrum on February 2, 1919, in Odessa, Ukraine.

She grew up in Estonia and lived in the capital city, Tallinn, until her family fled the communists just prior to WWII. During WWII, Inna lived in Germany and served as a Messing Officer for the United Nations, providing meals for 5,000 displaced people.

After the war, Inna was married to Lt. Col. Darwin Miller and they moved to Oklahoma in 1947. In 1952, Inna and Darwin gave birth to their daughter and moved to California. Inna has lived in La Jolla ever since.

Inna’s life was one of

great accomplishments.

She attended the finest French/American private schools in Europe and learned five languages including Estonian, English, German, French and Russian. Consequently, Inna worked as a translator and teacher of multiple languages for both the U.S. Armed Services and the UN. She not only translated for the UN in Germany during WWII, but also taught Russian to the U.S. armed forces at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and at MCAS Miramar in San Diego, CA. In the 1970’s, Inna received formal training at Mesa College in San Diego to become a residential care facility administrator.

She established and opened

her own residential care facility called the Estonian Home in La Jolla, which she solely operated for many years. Inna was also devoted to supporting Christianity in Estonia through The Estonian House, Inc., organization in Los Angeles, CA. She was also a longstanding member of the La Jolla Lutheran Church that she attended for more than forty years.

Lifelong friends of Inna have offered wonderful insights about Inna and her life. They believe that Inna must have had a “long and interesting life,” and that she was always “a real lady” and “a truly wonderful friend.” Friends have stated that Inna has

“touched their hearts” with her “energetic, sweet spirit, loving thoughtfulness,” and her great “love for life.” Lastly, friends would like to tell Inna, “Thank you for the lovely times we had.”

Inna is survived by her daughter, Linda Buckspan Lagrum of La Jolla; and cousins, Arne and Anne Roosman of Canada.

Please join us for the memorial service to celebrate Inna’s life on Saturday, May 3, 2014, at 10:00 AM at the La Jolla Lutheran Church, 7111 La Jolla Boulevard, La Jolla, CA 92037.

■ Moratorium waiver rejected A request by TC Construction — which the city contracted for an ongoing, major water pipe replacement project in La Jolla — was denied a requested waiver to work through La Jolla’s summer moratorium on construction in the coastal zone.

The company is replacing 900 feet of water pipe on Exchange Place, south of Prospect Place, from Cave Street to Torrey Pines Road.

Though on the LJCPA agenda it was stated that the project would take from two to three weeks, when pressed during the meeting, TC Construction representative Vic Salazar conceded that it could take up to six weeks.

would allow them to finish the job sooner.

However, trustees Ray Weiss and Janie Emerson said the job would create dust during the tourist season.

The request was denied because it was only viewed as being for “the convenience of the contractor,” and violates the LJCPA’s responsibility to “preserve La Jolla for its residents and tourists.”

A request for four, white A9 passenger loading spaces in front of the new La Plaza La Jolla development at the corner of Wall Street and Girard Avenue — to be used for valet parking during operating hours and approved by the LJCPA’s Traffic and Transportation subcommittee — was pulled from the consent agenda for further discussion.

Developers are transforming the former site of the Jack’s La Jolla restaurant and nightclub complex into an upscale, boutique mall.

Though it was originally scheduled to open Dec. 1, 2013, due to permitting delays, it is now scheduled to open in August 2014. Requests for the names of tenants leasing space at La Plaza have gone unanswered.

announced during the meeting that, despite his election, he was resigning from the board “for ethical reasons,” though he will stay on as a LJCPA member-at-large.

He noted that one of the candidates elected, Peter Ovanessoff, chose not to serve, leaving one seat to fill.

“By mutual agreement I felt it was appropriate for Joe (LaCava) to continue as a trustee and for me to step aside, so I’m resigning for that reason,” Fitzgerald said.

■ Loading Zone A request to remove a commercial loading zone near La Jolla Elementary School on Herschel Avenue (before it turns into Marine Street) was returned to the Traffic and Transportation committee for further discussion. ◆

La Jolla Cove lifeguard tower construction underway

BY ASHLEY MACKIN The construction process officially began on the La Jolla Cove lifeguard tower Feb. 16, when lifeguards stationed there were moved to a temporary station and the 34-year-old, 30-square-foot, wood-framed lifeguard tower and 144-square-foot support station were prepped for demolition.

In late March, the facility was torn down and construction on the new tower began.

The new tower will be 80 square feet with a steel frame and wood siding on a concrete cantilevered base. The $1.85 million cost is being funded through the use of deferred capital bonds and development impact fees. An access ramp to the mid-level landing overlooking the Cove will be installed. In addition, new benches will be added at the mid-level area with storage cubbies for swimmers.

Construction is expected to be complete

by March 2015.

At a recent La Jolla Shores Association meeting, Lifeguard Lieutenant Rich Stropky said extra effort would be taken to

ensure the distorted views during certain times of the day caused by the angle and type of glass used at the new La Jolla Shores lifeguard tower would not occur at the new Cove lifeguard tower. “The positioning of the (Cove lifeguard) tower and the angle it faces is different from the angle and direction of the Shores tower, therefore lifeguards will not come across the same issue,� he said. “But construction will not start without a mock-up just to make sure it’s not duplicated.� The visibility issues create “ghost images� of people appearing to be on one side of the beach when they are actually at another.

Stropky added that construction crews are coming across “surprises,� such as more concrete under the tower’s base than expected and the bottleneck from having only one staircase leading down to the beach. There were formerly three staircases, including one just for lifeguards. However, these are not perceived as hindrances to the schedule, he said. ◆

HBA Currently Accepting Students for Fall 2014 As High Bluff Academy evolved from a learning center into a fully accredited high school, its mission remained focused: Provide a highly specialized education that ďŹ ts the needs of each individual student. Today, HBA continues to offer supplemental programs while building a reputation as a rigorous – and successful – college prep school.

Families select the school for a variety of reasons - from wanting a more customized education to helping a student get back on track or out of an uncomfortable environment. “One size does not ďŹ t all so we are solution-oriented,â€? says Duoto, who graduated with honors from UC Berkeley. “Sometimes it’s helping to repair a teenparent relationship; others it’s understanding their special circumstances.â€? By focusing on the individual through highly specialized programs and carefully selecting its faculty, HBA successfully serves the needs of both high-achieving and struggling students. “I ďŹ nd it gratifying to observe a student who struggled through math classes at a larger public school, now helping her classmates to solve complex precalculus problems,â€? says Duoto. HBA has seen its students admitted to highly selective colleges, U.C. campuses and private colleges, with scholarships of up to $20,000 per year.

“Our students get the advantage of our outstanding teachers, small class size and beautiful facility, but students from neighboring schools can still join our classes during their school day and in our summer school� said Director Jill Duoto. Throughout Jill’s 30 years as an international educator working at schools in Japan, Singapore, Colombia, Brazil, and locally at Francis Parker, she came across families of all types. While each has a unique story, their goal remained the same. “They want their children to have an “We hold our students to high standards,� says Duoto, “but we give them the education that positions them for the college selection process and Principal Jill Duoto on a recent visit to China support they need to succeed.�

This makes Bella eligible for scholarships and extremely competitive spots on triathlon teams at colleges including Stanford, Arizona State, Colorado Springs, and the University of North Carolina. Triathlon is the fastest growing sport in the Olympic movement and the new approval will create a pipeline for Olympic hopefuls.

Bella’s interest in the sport began early and by the age of nine she was competing as an “Iron Kid�, racing to a third-place at the Arizona Nationals. Next, she joined a San Diego team, Tri Juniors, and earned an 11th place national ranking. After taking a year off to recover from a bike accident, Bella is in better shape now than ever.

Russian Student Finds Success at HBA High Bluff Academy student Konstantin Avdienko arrived from Russia a year and a half ago to simply audit some classes and improve his English. When he realized the progress he was making, he decided to stay and earn an American High School diploma. After only 3 1/2 semesters here, he has been accepted to the school of engineering at UC Davis and is still under consideration at UCSD’s engineering program.

At the urging of Konstantin’s family, the school started the rigorous process with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, for issuing international student visas. This year, the school is hosting students from China, Switzerland, Korea, Thailand and India. Families in Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe have volunteered to provide homestays for some of these students.

By Jill Duoto When I was a kid, only students who failed a class went to summer school. That is deďŹ nitely not the case any more. With the growing competitiveness of college admissions, students of all abilities are using their summers to gain an edge.

Increasing the number of academic classes: Looking at admissions statistics for UCLA for 2013, 70% of all admitted students had taken more than 23 college prep classes. In high schools where students take only six classes a year, it becomes impossible for most students to take enough courses to be competitive without taking summer classes.

Going beyond the minimum: Colleges want to see AP classes, but what if your child is not suited for these courses?

Having an extra year of math, science or foreign language beyond the minimum requirements can really boost an application.

Preparing for AP and increasing GPA: At HBA, advanced students are taking Honors Precalculus to gain the extra GPA point of this weighted class and to prepare for AP Calculus in the fall. Other advanced students are taking Chemistry or Physics to prepare for AP science classes next school year. The summer before 12th grade is the last chance for students to raise their GPAs for college admission.

Lightening the load: Students who are busy with sports, internships and clubs are taking a difďŹ cult class in the summer to lighten their homework load during the school year.

Remediating low grades: Even if your child isn’t aiming for a highly competitive university, summer school may be necessary. Many students mistakenly believe that freshman grades don’t count for college. Unfortunately, a D grade in any academic class could render a student ineligible to apply to a four-year university.

Meeting NCAA requirements: Student athletes preparing for admission to a D1 or D2 school must be especially careful to have enough NCAA approved courses. Many students gain admission to a school on a sports scholarship, only to ďŹ nd that they have not met the NCAA academic requirements. All courses at HBA are NCAA approved.

SAT & ACT Prep: Summer is also the best time for juniors and seniors to take an SAT or ACT prep class allowing them time and focus that they don’t have during the school year. HBA guarantees results!

High Bluff Academy’s summer schedule may be found on the school website: www.highbluffacademy.com.

Scholarships are available for some group classes.

Total Career Makeover contest winners chosen

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Gaston Farinas, who regularly swims at La Jolla Cove, is one of two winners in the San Diego Total Career Makeover contest.

The second winner is Lamia Merabet of San Diego, who often applied for jobs at UC San Diego. They were recognized at an April 8 seminar at La Jolla Presbyterian Church.

During the contest, launched in January, San Diegans having difficulty gaining employment applied for a makeover that included new clothes to wear to job interviews and individual training on how to land a job.

Abby Kohut, a corporate recruiter of almost 20 years, said she created the contest in 2011 and hosts them in cities across the United States.

To find local makeover applicants, she partnered with The Boardroom San Diego, a job-search resource, support and networking group for those experiencing a job loss and/or career change. The Boardroom meets 8 a.m. Tuesdays at La Jolla Presbyterian Church.

“I’ve hired 10,000 people in my career,” Kohut said. “But you know what a recruiter will tell you after you don’t get a job and call to ask ‘why didn’t I get the job?’ Nothing. So for 18 years, I’ve been telling people nothing. I knew why people weren’t getting jobs and I wanted to tell them (why).”

She started the contest in New Jersey with the intent of giving participants tools to improve upon the specific things that were preventing them from getting a job.

The first two winners landed careers one month and two months after their makeovers, respectively.

Those from San Diego hoping for a career makeover submitted statements and photos online. The judges were those who participated in career makeover contests in other cities, as well as those who support

The Boardroom San Diego.

The winners receive personal coaching in how to handle phone and in-person interviews, a copy of Kohut’s book “Absolutely Abby’s 101 Job Search Secrets” and access to five teleseminars. They also receive a physical makeover that was unveiled at the La Jolla event. It included hairstyling and attire to wear at job interviews, along with tips on how to dress professionally.

After announcing the winners and showing their “before” photos, Kohut brought them out post-makeover and introduced stylist Melissa Murray. Hoping to help all those in attendance, Murray explained what she did to the winners’ looks and why.

After the makeover unveiling, Kohut proceeded to offer job-search advice to all in attendance. Farinas and Merabet will receive individualized attention to address

the specific behaviors that might be hindering them in their job searches.

For Merabet, who reported having five multiple-round interviews at UCSD in the clinical trial science and medical writing fields, the training will focus on a change in confidence.

Despite have a master’s degree in pharmacology, a MBA in health care administration and experience in clinical research, she’s had no luck landing a job in three years.

Merabet said she took a part-time job in Orange County, and the three-hour commute that came with it.

Yet even with her credentials, she reports feeling “awkward and obsessed” with her appearance and Algerian accent. Kohut said she hopes to help Merabet “become comfortable in her own skin.”

For Farinas, who spent much of his

career working in telecommunications management, the focus will be on “getting his mojo back,” Kohut said.

Last year, Farinas lost his job due to corporate reorganization. He said he needs to learn how to present himself at interviews.

“I have focused on family, spirituality and community relations,” he said in his contest entry. “I feel I am a stronger person that can bring even more to a company.

My will and determination to succeed and build bridges over barriers has been amplified. It is now my turn to land my dream job.” ◆ ■ The Boardroom San Diego meets 8 a.m.

“This is an amazing group of juniors who play the highest level of tennis in the country and they proved to be worthy of this honor,� said Conan Lorenzo, the San Diego Area Junior Tennis Coordinator and the Director of Tennis at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. “Being the national champs is incredible considering the talent we have in Southern California, as well as the entire country. I am in awe of what they have done.�

The San Diego group came from the Southern California Section, which was one of 17 in the country.

In total, 13,000 teams and nearly 100,000 kids competed under the Junior Team Tennis banner in the United States. Then the field was reduced to 16 elite teams in the 14 Advanced draw, who vied for the title in three days of fierce competition.

Team Top Gun finished “The Best of the Best.�

Lorenzo was part of the group who received the city council’s proclamation, which was signed by San Diego Mayor

Kevin Faulconer and all of the council members. They were impressed by Team Top Gun’s story and the legacy that was started by Liu, nicknamed “Commander Ace.�

The group then adopted motivational monikers. The Red Squadron consisted of Nicole “Hammy� Mossmer, an eighth-grader at All Hallows Academy, Patrick Henry’s Julia “Lil J� Ronney, Jennifer “Crouton� Kerr, Olia “Powerpuff�

Javidi, Emily “Maxforce� Maxfield, Alexa “Hot Dog� Meyer, Valeria “Valiente� Corral, Jessica “Angelfire�

SPORTS BASEBALL: Francis Parker School Lancers 3, La Jolla Country Day School Torreys 2

Country Day Torreys fall to Parker Lancers at Petco Park, 3-2

BY ED PIPER With just under 3,000 fans watching at Petco Park April 8 in the inaugural game of the Coastal South League season, La Jolla Country Day coach John Edman had a fine line to walk in the bottom of the fifth inning with his Torreys down 2-1 — stay with his lefty ace, Alfonso Rivas, who had given up only one earned run to rival Parker School, or bring in righty freshman Brennan Rubin against the right-handed hitter Nate Glasser, who already had an RBI hit off Rivas.

The Torrey coach opted for the reliever, Rubin, but Glasser promptly hit his first offering into left to send the Parker Lancers up, 3-1. Parker held on to win, 3-2, despite Torrey Dylan Robertson’s RBI single in the sixth.

Robertson, a junior playing third base, played a key role in Country Day’s offense. He not

Dylan Robertson of La Jolla Country Day exults as teammates approach him after scoring on Jaylon King’s pinch-hit single to tie the score 1-1 in the fifth inning. ED PIPER only drove in the Torreys’ second run in the sixth, but he also scored

their initial run the inning before.

It was a low-scoring pitchers’

duel all the way. The smoothworking Rivas, though feeling a twinge on his left side, struck out five and walked only one. He fielded his position flawlessly, too, gloving a come-backer by the lead hitter in the fourth inning and calmly throwing him out.

“He’s a ridiculous player,” said pitching coach Dan Padget, when asked about Rivas’ fielding. “He does everything well.” The twinge lowered the speed on his fastball from the 87-mph range to about 82. But Parker hitters weren’t celebrating. They managed six hits in Rivas’ fourand-two-thirds innings of work.

Rivas’ ERA sits at a paltry 0.48.

The earned run he gave up against Parker is his first one this season.

Parker starter Jake Wiegand limited Country Day to five hits in his five innings of work.

Edman’s squad came down the

tunnel onto the playing field visibly and audibly excited before the game. Team members were chattering, commenting on the superb quality of the Petco playing surface, and interacting with friends in the stands right behind the visitors’ dugout on the third base side.

The entire team was lined along the rail at the top of the dugout in the first inning, with the atmosphere charged and electric.

Keaton Weisz, the Torreys’ leadoff hitter and centerfielder, took Wiegand’s opening pitch low for a ball, and the game was on.

After Weisz flied out to Jonah Davis in centerfield, Chris Bee was walked, then thrown out trying to steal second by Lancer catcher Haydan Hastings. The Torreys were going to be aggressive from the start.

Protect your assets with Farmers Insurance

Farmers Insurance agent Nigel Mallett is based in La Jolla. COURTESY

BY MARTI GACIOCH Farmers Insurance protects far more than its clients’ homes and autos; it protects all their assets. “We do this by including liability coverage and umbrella coverage,” said La Jolla Farmers Insurance agent Nigel Mallett. “If we have a liability coverage of $500,000 on a car, we add an umbrella coverage of $1 million to $5 million or more, depending on the client’s net worth.”

In addition to autos and homes, Farmers also insures businesses, including workmen’s compensation insurance, and specialty insurance for boats, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and allterrain vehicles.

“We differ from other insurance companies because we’re more personal with our customers and really service their accounts by making sure they have the right coverage for a reasonable premium,” Mallett said. “We’re not

necessarily going to be the cheapest price out there, but we give great coverage that protects clients’ assets.”

John C. Tyler and Thomas E. Leavey founded Farmers Insurance in 1928 to insure the automobiles of farmers in Los Angeles. Farmers Insurance now has 14,000 agents in 41 states across the country with the majority of agents in California (3,000 in San Diego) and Texas.

Farmer’s La Jolla office has been on Ivanhoe Avenue for 37 years, where Mallett has been an agent for 12. He also handles mutual funds and annuities.

Mallett’s wife, Vicky, sells life insurance, and the couple also has three licensed property and casualty agents on staff.

Insurance changes are underway in California that will affect parts of La Jolla, including all the canyons and brush of Mt. Soledad, Rancho Santa Fe and Encinitas, Mallett said. The insurance commissioner of California recently said

that many homeowners may face higher fire insurance premiums if there is a high-density brush area within 200 feet of their homes — or if their property includes a 60-degree slope where a fire can race up faster than on a flat lot.

“This will create a much higher fire line, so a lot of La Jolla homes may not be able to be insured,” Mallett explained.

“We have many cases where the premiums have gone up 50 to 60 percent, and homeowners are getting a big shock; all California insurance companies are doing the same thing.”

La Jolla YMCA to host free community event: Healthy Kids Day, Saturday, April 26 number nutritionists recommend to maintain healthy childhood development. • Foster an early and ongoing passion for books: Read to and with your kids. Help children read at every age and every stage of their development. • Team up for athletic events: Set a family goal of great health by teaming up for charity events like races, walks, fun runs and bike rides. • Volunteer together: Find a cause that matters to the kids. Open their eyes to a world beyond themselves and the rich rewards that come from making a difference. • Lead by example: Be a good role model — kids can be influenced by seeing how hard their parents work at home or on the job, and how rewarding that experience is.

FROM LA JOLLA YMCA REPORTS

La Jolla YMCA will present a free community event from 10 a.m, to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 26, to inspire more kids to keep their minds and bodies active.

YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, the Y’s national initiative to improve families’ health and well-being, will feature games, fitness, healthy snack demonstrations, arts and crafts and more to motivate and teach families how to develop a healthy routine at home.

YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, celebrated at nearly 1,600 Ys across the country, aims to get more kids moving and learning, so they can keep up the habit all summer long — a critical out-of-school time for kids’ health. Research shows that without access to out-of-school physical and learning activities, kids fall behind academically. Kids also gain weight twice as fast during summer than the school year.

■New businesses: LJVMA’s Economic Development Division chair Leon Chow noted five new business openings in the Village: • Benefit Cosmetics, 7933 Girard Ave. (formerly Georgiou) • Fruititude smoothie and juice bar, 7777 Girard Ave. • Mia Cuccina Italian furnishings, 7645 Girard Ave. (formerly Bombshell La Jolla) • Mary’s English Kitchen, 7918 Ivanhoe Ave., see story, page AA1 (formery Mr. Taco) • Richard Walker Pancake House, 909 Prospect St. (replacing Forever Fondue) • Ortho Mattress, 905 Pearl St. (formerly Starbucks). ■Burns Drugs closing: All inventory is 20 percent off as the longtime pharmacy

■Volunteers needed: Kiwanis Club of La Jolla member Trenton Bonner noted that his club’s sold-out La Jolla Half Marathon event on Sunday, April 27 is still in need of volunteers. Register at LaJollaHalfMarathon.com

San Francisco-based Benefit Cosmetics is opening at the corner of Girard Avenue and Prospect Street. PAT SHERMAN and gift shop at 7824 Girard Ave. says goodbye after more than six decades (see last week’s story at lajollalight.com). ■Haute La Jolla Nights: The LJVMA’s

nighttime music and shopping events, which kicked off last year, will be reduced to four seasonal events this year. LJVMA Executive Director Sheila Fortune said the first event would likely be a pet sidewalk

■New business assistance: LJVMA board president Claude-Anthony Marengo again suggested that the Association could serve as a conduit to help new businesses wade through the city’s development, permitting and planning process quicker and more seamlessly. He suggested the LJVMA work with property owners, lessors and real estate agents to create a standardized sign that could be placed in the window of vacant businesses, such as the recently closed Armani Exchange (7802 Girard Ave.) to provide information about leasing opportunities, zoning regulations and a phone number for a LJVMA contact to help potential tenants work with the city. ◆

It’s sad. I remember when I worked at Scripps and a lot of patients would like to have their prescriptions filled at Burns because it’s their pharmacy that they could count on and rely on. I appreciate that the owners are trying to get the pharmacists jobs at other places.

Jessica Hughes

Am I allowed to cry?

I’ve lived here since 1968 and Burns is a fixture in this town. I knew the owner and I’m sad they were not able to swing it.

Dan Steinberg

A lament for old La Jolla Oh no. Please, not Burns. It seems that money is winning, with so many of the treasures we hold dear in our Village having been, and being snatched away from us.

We have lost the Green Dragon Colony, Anthony’s Fish Grotto, Mithras Bookstore, Unicorn Theater, Cove Theater, John’s Waffle Shop, El Sombrero (where a single woman could go alone because it was a family affair), Bully’s, Walker Scott Department Store and Scott’s Children’s Store (which were affordable for those not wealthy), Meanley’s Home Store, Jurgensen’s grocery store, C&M Market, The Whaling Bar and I haven’t even touched on all the cozy cottages replaced by condos, almost the post office, and who knows what they are doing to the “living room” at La Valencia. It’s tragic, and the loss of Burns is like a death in the Village. If we lose Warwick’s, Adelaide’s and Meanley & Son Ace Hardware, I might have to put my house up for sale and head north. I’d better stop or I might cry.

The Rotary Club of La Jolla is active in philanthropic programs in both the local community and internationally: • Mentoring students at La Jolla High School and The Bishop’s School through the schools’ Interact Club; • Awarding Rotary Youth Leadership Awards to high school juniors; • Annually providing four-year college/ university scholarships to graduating seniors from the four La Jolla high schools; • Directing and teaching at the Tijuana Scholars Lab, located in Mexico, in cooperation with the Rotary Club of Tijuana; • Funding and managing the Strive Scholarship Program, which provides continuing financial support for graduating seniors of the SDUSD Continuation School program at Garfield High School; • Supporting micro-credit programs worldwide; • Providing continuing support for the Elwasambi School in Kenya, including drilling a water well, providing electricity and computers for the students;

It’s a shame to see it go because you’ve got to have institutions like Burns; it gives La Jolla character, like Pannikin Coffee and Ogden’s Cleaners. All these things make the Village of La Jolla what it is.

La Jolla Town Council

BY PAT SHERMAN During its April 10 meeting, the La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) elected a new slate of officers, including President Steve Haskins, First Vice-president (and former Newcomers Club president) Glenda Rothberg, second Vice-president Yolanda de Riquer, Secretary Charles Hartford and Treasurer Ron Jones. Each serve one-year terms.

Additionally, District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner (representing La Jolla) administered the oath of office to incoming trustees Cathy Jones, Charles Schevker, Maureen Murphy and Courtney Hibbard, as well as outgoing board president Cindy Greatrex, who was elected to another three-year trustee term.

Lightner presented Greatrex with a certificate of appreciation for her service as Town Council president. PAT SHERMAN Association’s Traffic and Transportation subcommittee.

Trustees appointed Donna Aprea to fill the vacancy.

■ City Council update: Lightner noted that the city’s fiscal year 2015 budget, released this week, includes additional spending for infrastructure. She said it is the first time in nine years that the city is showing a surplus.

“We can finally begin restoring services such as library hours and adding police officers and firefighters,” she said.

Lightner encourages residents to advocate for funding specific items by attending budget meetings, which will be docketed on the city’s website (sandiego.gov),

are open to the public and begin May 5.

Lightner said construction on the new lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool/Casa Beach will resume June 1 (at the conclusion of the seals’ pupping season), and noted the April 10 treatment of the bluffs above La Jolla Cove to reduce the odor there (see story page AA1).

“Right now there’s no plans for an additional treatment right away, but it is something that would be great if you came down and advocated for in the budget,” she said.

“I have requested it … and it should conceivably be in the revised (budget).”

■ Coastal consultant: Lightner also said she requested that the city hire a consultant to develop a coastal management plan for San Diego’s coastline (including La Jolla), “so that we can actually get a handle on what’s happening with the proliferation of sea life that has impacted our quality of life here.” The consultant would cost $200,000 in fiscal year 2015, she said.

■ Rec Center birthday: Greatrex noted that, like many of the buildings in Balboa Park erected for the Panama-California Exposition of 1915, La Jolla Rec Center (where LJTC meetings are held) also turns 100 in 2015. To

mark the milestone, the Rec Center will receive new flooring and new interior and exterior paint, she said. The LJTC will also mark its 65th anniversary next year.

■ Bike-sharing: The city is seeking input on the location of proposed bike-sharing stations that will be located in La Jolla at decobikesandiego.com ■ Coming next week: Remarks from San Diego County District Attorney candidates Bob Brewer and Terri Wyatt expressed during an April 10 LJTC forum will be published in next week’s La Jolla Light. Incumbent District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis did not attend. ◆

SPORTS SOFTBALL: La Jolla High School Vikings

Katja Sarain, Stephanie Alvarez help keep it loose

BY ED PIPER La Jolla High School batterymates Katja Sarain and Stephanie Alvarez pack a powerful punch for the Vikings: Sarain leads all Division IV pitchers in strikeouts, with 62 in 76 innings.

Alvarez, who recently moved to catcher, is busting the softball at a robust .514 clip on 18-for-35 hitting, with 16 RBIs and a home run. The pair of three-year starters, captains of a team with a lot of newbies onboard, tries to help keep it loose.

“When we beat Mar Vista (March 15),” Alvarez said, newly moved from her familiar third base position to behind the plate to fill a team need, “We just told the others (Mar Vista) may have played a lot of softball, but have confidence in yourself and what you can do.”

The Vikings were enjoying warm ups before a recent game, practicing hitting tosses from shortstop Linda Brown into a net and taking flies and grounders from Coach Anthony

Sarain, Katja’s father. They truly seemed to be enjoying one another’s company. That’s key, because some of the girls have not played softball before, and others haven’t played outside their time on the La Jolla varsity team. The friendships contribute to team cohesiveness.

Katja, a right-handed junior, leads Division IV pitchers in innings pitched by far, having thrown in every inning of every game for La Jolla this season.

Her repertoire includes six different pitches, including a screwball where she twists her wrist clockwise to create what’s in effect a curveball moving away from a left-handed batter.

Alvarez, who like Katja and Brown has played club ball outside of school teams, bats in the fourth slot in the lineup behind Brown. Outgoing and friendly, Alvarez enjoys her time on the field and playing the sport. Brown, a newcomer to the team as a freshman, is second on the team in RBIs, with 10.

Before a recent game, teammates were playfully throwing words and names of different foods around with one another as they moved through their paces, chuckling as they said “watermelone” for “watermelon”, foods like cake, other wordplay. One player repeated a little sideline dance at teammates’ urging as a photographer clicked pictures. It was all good, clean fun, and kept the team relaxed and ready for the action to follow.

Coach Sarain keeps it positive with the team. He stays focused and calm, and tries to encourage his newer players just for trying, and avoids severe criticism.

Mazzi Tamaiko, the team’s only lefthander, ably patrols centerfield to help less-experienced outfielders in left and right. She shows good speed on the base paths and out of the batter’s box, and has a decent southpaw swing at the plate, with a .303 average. She leads the team in runs with 14.

SPORTS FROM COUNTRY DAY BASEBALL, A16 Rivas, the third-slot hitter, walked, as did Brandon Wachs, with Wiegand struggling starting the game. But LJCD was unable to move the runners around.

A what-if came in Country Day catcher Travis Wilkie’s decision to throw to second on a steal on a first-and-third situation in the fifth. The Parker runner on third, Joseph Pasquill, was able to come home on the play. That put the Lancers ahead 2-1.

Davis made the play of the game for Parker in the top of the seventh, sliding to catch Wachs’ flyball after a long run with Rivas on base. That essentially snuffed out the Torreys’ hopes to come back.

The Country Day school family showed up at Petco in high spirits. All grades K-12

were given a homework-free day and families were given free tickets to the special event.

Staff and team members were visibly excited at the sight of the Padres mascot The Friar. This is the first time LJCD’s team has been invited to play in the Padres’ ballpark, handled on a rotating system each year by CIF. The co-captains of the Torrey softball team, Taylor Johnson and Emily Springfield, got to throw and catch the ceremonial opening pitch. Cast members of the upcoming campus production of “Our Town” led the crowd in singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” The Tree and Big Blueman, the school’s mascots, raced the Friar before the top of the sixth, with the priest winning the footrace. ◆

FROM LA JOLLA HIGH SOFTBALL, A25 Katja Sarain fills the second slot in the batting order in front of Brown and Alvarez, hitting .342.

“Our motto this year is ‘Scratch and claw to win’,” said Katja, “because a lot of games we’re going to have to scratch and claw. We’re not going to win just because we’re playing. We have to work hard, and work hard throughout the game.”

Sushi is a food favorite for Katja. Math is an academic favorite. “I definitely want to become an architect and focus on building homes,” she said.

Her encouragement to her teammates is “Work hard, and either way, we’re a family.

We’re always a family.”

“I focus a lot more in practice, and during the game I kind of just let my body do whatever,” said Katja of her mental approach to pitching.

“I think it’s just a game, work my

hardest, and do my thing.”

Alvarez says the key to her scorching hitting this season is to “Feel confident in myself and try my best.”

Regarding the move to catcher, she commented, “It’s a new position. I did it when I was younger, but (I’ve been at third base for several years). I had to step up for the team.”

To lift up her teammates, she said, “I make them think that softball is just for fun. Just cheer them on all the time, and explain some things to them, but make it a fundamental-type thing.”

As far as heroes, Alvarez said, “I really like Jennie Finch. She pitched and played first base for the University of Arizona. She stepped up for her team. She went to the Olympics.”

Finch helped lead the U.S. team to a gold medal in the 2004 Olympics.

“I like monkeys,” the captain said. “I feel like they’re me. They’re goofy. I’m goofy.” ◆

Malashock Dancers will move with Élan in ‘Lifeblood Harmony’

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT “Music is the lifeblood of dance,” choreographer John Malashock, artistic director of his own well-known and long-lived local dance company, once observed.

On April 17-19, there will be a new harmonic convergence when 11 of Malashock’s dancers team up with a half-dozen instrumentalists from the boundary-breaking chamber group, Art of Élan to create “Lifeblood Harmony,” a program set to the live music of three adventurous contemporary composers, to be presented at UC San Diego.

Though they may not be household names here, Judd Greenstein, David Bruce and Osvaldo Golijov are the kinds of music-makers Élan loves to showcase. Greenstein is part of NYC’s hip, Brooklyn-based, “indie-classical” scene; Bruce’s works mix earthy rhythms with heartfelt emotion, and include chamber operas and steampunk; and Argentina-born Golijov is a Grammywinner whose style spans cultures and centuries.

La Jolla Symphony & Chorus will celebrate 60th season with six concerts FROM LJS&C REPORTS

T

he La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) has announced its 20142015 season — a 60th anniversary celebration that includes six concerts of premieres and groundbreaking works.

“We’ll start with Mahler’s glorious ‘Fifth Symphony,’ and ramp it up from there,” said LJS&C Music Director Steven Schick, whose 60th birthday coincides with that of the ensembles.

“The season will include Beethoven’s ‘Ninth,’ performed on the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin

Wall, where upon the ruins, Leonard Bernstein led an international ensemble in a performance in December 1989. In March, we will perform one of the grandest musical statements of them all, Berlioz’s ‘Requiem.’

“Sprinkled among the masterworks you will find the kind of progressive programming that has put us on the map. We have commissioned New Yorkbased composer Nathan Davis to create a work for LJS&C and the percussion group ‘red fish blue fish.’ This year’s Thomas Nee Commission recipient, Yeung-Ping Chen, will write an

Internet-based piece that will allow a group of soloists to be channeled into Mandeville Auditorium through telematics technology.

“We will also welcome back one of our best friends, the extravagantly gifted cellist Maya Beiser for a performance of Osvaldo Golijov’s ‘Azul.’ ” As with past seasons, Schick has programmed around a theme that invites listeners to delve more deeply into the music. The new season theme, “The Nature of Things,” is inspired by

“Hey, Inga, wanna play MY organ?” the alphabetical creepo in homeroom would leer when club meeting announcements were read. My husband, Olof, was fascinated by this story. “You should have said, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t play lesser instruments,’” Olof opined. WHY, WHY didn’t I ever think of that? I almost wanted to go to the reunion just so I could use that line.

Medusa, meanwhile, was the classic mean girl. I scheduled my sophomore year life around trying to avoid being anywhere near our locker when she was, or anywhere near her at all. She enjoyed ridiculing me in front of her equally mean girl friends. School, which I had always enjoyed, suddenly wasn’t fun that year.

From time to time over the years, I would think of Medusa and hope that her children were already elementary school juvenile delinquents and that she had an incurable and relentlessly painful disease exacerbated by the penicillin-resistant syphilis she had contracted from her chronically-

hen I considered whether to go to my 40th high school reunion — my first reunion ever — the first thing I thought about was whether I’d have to confront my high school nemesis, Medusa (not her real name).

It’s a testament to the power of high school that decades later, I would even be thinking about her at all. I had never suffered any kind of bullying until my sophomore year of high school when a group of some 80 kids from a neighboring town who didn’t have their own high school joined ours. The crunch was such that for the first time we had to share lockers. I got Medusa.

I wasn’t a cheerleader-popular kind of teenager, but I was very social, a good student, and ultimately went on to be the editor of the school paper and president of the school service group. But as a high school sophomore, my only elected office was secretary of the Organ Club (music, not donors). I think it will be obvious that there was not a lot of cachet in this.

“Actually,” said Tinker, guiltily. “I was just talking to her. She doesn’t remember being mean to you.”

“WHAT? You’re kidding!”

“Actually, it’s worse,” continued Tinker.

“She doesn’t remember you at all.”

My pizza slice hung suspended in midbite. Didn’t even remember me? I had never considered the possibility. I hunted through my purse for my 9 mm Glock.

I had to admit that during the evening, I talked with some people who remembered me well but whom I couldn’t place, and to several whom I remembered well but who seemed to have very little memory of me. I continue to be fascinated by who and what we remember — why some people with whom we had a lot of contact just completely fade away in our memories, and others stand out so prominently. Of course, we can’t remember everything and everyone — just not enough disk space. But it just didn’t seem possible that Medusa, the source of so much angst and trauma, could have erased me from her memory bank. Or worse, never registered me in it to begin with. Is this the ultimate act of bullying, that your bully doesn’t even remember you?

Just wait till the 50th reunion, Medusa. I predict a wheelchair mishap. ◆

philandering husband. In my ultimate East Coast vengeful fantasy, hers was the only welfare family in the uber-tony community of Greenwich, Connecticut where she was relentlessly shunned.

My best friend from high school, Tinker, ultimately persuaded me to go to the reunion. As it turns out, it was the first one Medusa had ever attended herself. The organ club guy, sadly, didn’t show (totally disappointed), but I got to spend some wonderful time with my high school paper co-editor going through his yearbook and reading such touching inscriptions as, “You think your [sic] liberal but to me you’re a champion f--kup. Best of luck.”

The first night was a casual pizza event.

There were plenty of people I hadn’t recognized initially that evening but when Medusa walked in, I knew her immediately.

Tinker nodded; she’d seen her, too. What would I say to Medusa? “Hi, I’ve hated you for 40 years?” No, that didn’t seem like it would produce the desired response from her, which, for the record, was, “I’m so sorry. I’m a subhuman life form who hardly deserves to live, but I want to make it all up to you. Not a day goes by that I don’t regret my reprehensible behavior.”

A bit later, I joined Tinker who had sat down for a piece of pizza.

“I really can’t decide what the right thing is to say to Medusa,” I said. “Maybe I shouldn’t say anything.”

Queenstown offers a not-so-common taste of New Zealand

BY KELLEY CARLSON t might not be an Italian restaurant, but the Kiwi-themed Queenstown Public House is very much a part of the Little Italy neighborhood.

Set up in a 1902 Craftsman-style building that’s just a short walk from the hub of the district, Queenstown is a funky, casual eatery that has become well known among the locals in the year it has been open. The unusual décor is generally noted by the patrons — upside-down stuffed sheep suspended from the parlor ceiling, a canoe hanging behind the bar, Maori sayings emblazoned on mirrors and assorted knickknacks on display that were unearthed from underneath the house.

And they love to hang out on “The Porch” with their dogs on a sunny day.

“It’s a great place to unwind,” Chef Reco Yanez said.

It’s also a place to try cuisine that’s different from the norm. Much of the fare is New Zealand influenced, from the lamb entrees to the house-made sauces. “We

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured ‘On The Menu’ restaurant at www.bit.ly / menurecipes

■ This week’s recipe:

Queenstown’s Hoisin BBQ Sauce strive to offer the best possible food we can,” General Manager Darren Roach said.

One of Queenstown’s standouts is the Bare Lil Lamb Burger. The imported meat from New Zealand is topped with mint jelly, shoestring beets, crumbled bleu cheese and a slow-cooked tomato chutney; and it’s all captured between slices of focaccia with rosemary. Those who order

it with a side of seasoned Matchstick Fries (which can be dipped in wasabi aioli and red pepper aioli), along with a pint of beer, often come away from the restaurant feeling more than satisfied.

Another true Kiwi entrée is Sheila’s Cracked. According to Roach, it’s exactly what one gets if they order a burger in New Zealand: a beef patty with a fried egg, Edam cheese and shoestring beets on grilled focaccia.

Other dishes include the Fish ‘N’ Chips with beer-battered haddock and steak fries; and the Porch Caesar Salad with Romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing made from scratch, anchovy, capers, croutons and Parmesan cheese; which can be served with steak, salmon, ahi, shrimp or chicken.

Patrons in the mood for appetizers may consider stopping in during the weekday happy hour, where they can get “slider” versions of sandwiches for $3, and pair them with $8 flights of beer, wine or sangria. The majority of the suds on tap are from Western breweries and nearly a

half-dozen New Zealand brands are offered by the bottle. The wine list is heavy with California vintages, but among the international offerings is a sauvignon blanc from Kiwi country.

Whether stopping by midday or at night, guilty pleasures await, including Sheila’s Guilt: cinnamon rolls with roasted apples, vanilla ice cream, candied pecans and caramel.

Brunch is available on weekends and the consistent top seller is the Oink with jalapeño cornbread, hoisin BBQ sauce pulled pork, poached egg, jalapeño cayenne hollandaise and garlic kale.

Yanez also touts his Prawn & Grits as some of the best in town — it includes yellow organic stone-ground grits with peppers and bacon, topped with poached egg and has a hint of spice.

Additional items include the Lamb Hash with meat braised in red wine; and The Cure, a hearty meal of biscuits and gravy, tots, scrambled eggs and a choice of sausage or fried chicken. ◆

Spring Lavender Fingerlings

CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN

Go gaga over spring foods

S

pring is when Mother Nature throws a coming out party for her animals, minerals and vegetables. The supermarket produce aisles are brimming with a bounty of delicate shoots, beans, peas and fresh herbs, while the meat department is filled with young, tender cuts of carnivorous offerings. Inquisitive column folk want to know spring’s best contributions. Here are your answers.

Lamb bam, thank you ma’am Roasted spring lamb is a celebratory delicacy for the Easter Sunday meal, a tradition that harks back to the inaugural Jewish Passover Seder when unleavened bread or matzo and bitter herbs were served with the Paschal Lamb. When many Hebrews converted to Christianity, the custom of eating lamb during the Easter season continued.

Spring lamb comes from an animal less than three months old. The most tender,

pink-fleshed spring lamb is imported from Down Under this time of year, as young, domestic lamb is in short supply.

Australian lamb is grass-fed and free of growth hormones, lean and flavorful, not gamey like mutton from older sheep.

Domestic milk-fed or hothouse lambs are also an Easter treat, raised indoors and fed exclusively on their mother’s milk.

The mauve clove Tender spring garlic, or green garlic, has arrived for a short season—so grab it.

Simply the immature version of common garlic, botanically known as Allium sativum, spring garlic has not yet divided into recognizable cloves. It resembles scallions with a delicate purple-hued bulb and flimsy green stalks. The young garlic trumps its older sibling in many respects: it doesn’t have to be peeled, has a more delicate flavor with nutty notes, and a subtler, less overpowering personality

■ Ingredients: • 2 pounds of assorted fingerling potatoes • 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil • 1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh lavender or 1/2 tablespoon dried • 1/4 teaspoon each of dried rosemary, thyme, oregano • 1/2 teaspoon of fresh chervil, chopped • Sea salt and cracked black pepper

than the stinky rose, lacking collateral damage of causing bad breath. Slice thinly in potato and green salads, stirfries and brothy soups, pastas and frittatas or as a topping to jazz up pizzas.

Use your spring stalk options Rhubarb-philes welcome this spring treat, also called a “pie plant,” with open arms. Actually a vegetable and member of the buckwheat family, this lippuckering, low cal, high fiber powerhouse with nerve calming Bs, beta carotene and As for boosting ocular health, Vitamin K for healthy blood clotting, and a slew of minerals, balances well with sweet strawberries, raspberries and ginger. Sold in bunches like asparagus, choose short, dark pink stalks rather than longer greener ones for sweeter flavor and less stringy texture.

■ Method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oil with herbs and spices. Toss potatoes until well coated. Transfer to baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown, turning while roasting.

Whip up a refreshing pureed compote as a scrumptious topping for gelatos, bubbly cobblers, tangy chutneys and salsas.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla interior designer Jeanine Balsells-Naviaux (along with her husband and La Jolla Boy Scout Troop 506 leader Jacques Naviaux, and their two sons, Christophe and Philippe), will travel to the University of Colorado at Boulder in May to witness her parents, Joan and Peter Balsells, receive an honorary doctorate in engineering. Peter Balsells will accept the award, as Joan passed away in 1995.

The university will bestow the honor because of the scholarship program Peter established in Joan’s honor to assist students interested in studying engineering, as well as the Balsells’ professional successes in the engineering field.

“My mother graduated second in her class in engineering and my father graduated at the bottom, and was even told by the dean to quit,” Balsells-Naviaux said. “And this was at a time when women didn’t study engineering. Mom was breaking the glass ceiling without even knowing it.”

She said her mother’s interest in engineering began in the 1940s when she

as a 14-year-old Girl Scout, she got to ride on an airplane posing questions about how the plane worked.

From there, she knew she would study the subject. She was one of two female engineering students in 1951, the year she graduated.

While in college, Joan and Peter met and later married. Though his grades didn’t reflect it, Peter had a passion for engineering and inventing.

After college, the Balsells formed Bal Seal Engineering, started in their Southern California garage. Bal Seal Engineering now has some 400 employees and is headquartered in a 125,000- square-foot facility in Foothill Ranch.

“My mother promoted the message that girls need not be intimidated by hard sciences,” Balsells-Naviaux said.

“We’ve gotten so good at designing things on computer screens we don’t train people on how to actually build them. Something could look pretty on a screen, but does the designer know how to build it? She did.” ◆

FROM MALASHOCK DANCE, B1 Their music has underlying messages. Greenstein’s “At the End of a Really Great Day” proposes living life so fully that you die “at the end of a really great day.” Golijov’s “Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind” suggests acceptance of all the unknowns in our lives. And Bruce’s “Gumboots,” inspired by a dance form that first took shape in the depths of South African goldmines, shows the triumph of the spirit over even the darkest eventualities.

“That’s the overall theme of the program, the resilience of the human spirit,” said Élan’s Artistic Director, violinist Kate Hatmaker. “Art reminds us that no matter how difficult things are, we can find beauty in the journey.”

The evening’s journey will include violins, viola, cello, and multiple clarinets, playing music that Hatmaker said was often “super challenging, but really cool. The rhythms and colors may change constantly, but it all has to sound effortless. You have to really feel together as a group, and so do the dancers.”

The “Lifeblood Harmony” collaboration is the latest example of Élan’s musical mission: introducing San Diego audiences to pieces they’ve never heard before.

“People sometimes get scared off by contemporary composers, but we look for the ones who are writing in a way that’s accessible, relevant, and melodic — the ones we think audiences will love,” Hatmaker said.

Working with Malashock has been a wonderful experience, she added. “He’s a lovely person, such generosity of spirit, and he’s come to Élan’s concerts for years, so when he approached us last summer about collaborating, it was ‘Oh, yes!’ He immediately resonated with the music, his choreography is terrific, and I was just blown away by the dancers.

“For me, 90 percent of the work is choosing the right music,” Malashock said. “The three pieces we’ve chosen are vastly different from each other.

Greenstein’s ‘Great Day’ has a light, bright quality, though there’s a sense of loss underneath, so it pushed me into a different vocabulary of movement, with a lot of humor and personality.

Golijov’s ‘Isaac’ delves into the wild, ecstatic state of spirituality, and Bruce’s ‘Gumboots’ is really two pieces in one, the first with a lot of weight to it, and the second totally exuberant.”

There are always surprises in Art of Élan programs, and Malashock promises the same in “Lifeblood Harmony.”

“I’ve had more fun with this rehearsal process than any other,” he said. “It doesn’t feel like any work I’ve done before. I think the show will surprise a lot of people.” ◆ ■ IF YOU GO: Malashock Dance and Art of Élan present “Lifeblood Harmony,” 7:30 p.m. April 17-19, at Mandell Weiss Theatre, UC San Diego.

Both morning and afternoon classes — enrichment and for credit classes — are offered for students in pre-grades 4-12.

High Bluff Academy can help give an edge for college admissions

Watersports Camp in Mission Bay presents variety of aquatic activities

T

he Watersports Camp, held at San Diego State University and UC San Diego’s Mission Bay Aquatic Center, is a YMCA-sponsored program that offers exciting and educational camps including wakeboarding, surfing, sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, marine science and stand-up paddling. Whether your camper hopes to catch a first wave, or wants to learn about the ocean, the friendly counselors at The Watersports Camp will ensure a safe and fun environment in which to learn.

Spring break camps run through April 11 and summer camps start June 9. Full-day and half-day camp options are available. Register online at watersportscamp.com or call at (858) 539-2003. ◆

W

ith the growing competitiveness of college admissions, students of all abilities are using their summers to gain an edge. Having an extra year of math, science or foreign language can really boost a college application. High Bluff Academy offers four years of Lab Science, Statistics, Business Calculus and Spanish 1-4. Other advanced students are taking Chemistry or Physics to prepare for AP science classes next school year.

Students who are busy with sports, internships and clubs are taking a difficult class

in the summer to lighten their homework load during the school year. Student athletes preparing for admission to a D1 or D2 school must be especially careful to have NCAA approved courses. Many students gain admission to a school on a sports scholarship, only to find that they have not met the NCAA academic requirements. All courses at High Bluff Academy are NCAA approved.

HBA’s summer schedule may be found at highbluffacademy.com and scholarships are available for some group classes.

‘Water by the Spoonful’ explores human need to connect

BY DIANA SAENGER The California premiere of “Water by the Spoonful,” Quiara Alegría Hudes’ winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, is at The Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre through May 11. Directing the play is Edward Torres, who recently directed the world premiere of Hudes’ “The Happiest Song Plays Last.”

“Water by the Spoonful,” is the second play in Hudes’ three stand-alone plays, written over an eight-year period about a man named Elliot. Each uses different music types — Bach, Coltrane and Puerto Rican folk music — to trace the coming of age of this bright, but haunted, young Puerto Rican man. Her final play, “The Happiest Song Plays Last,” opened Off Broadway in February 2014.

“I absolutely love Hudes’ writing,” Torres said. “I think ‘Water by the Spoonful’ is a wonderful play about recovery, redemption and the human connection.”

Hudes’ has produced a vast catalog of noted work. She wrote the book for the Broadway musical “In the Heights,” which received the 2008 Tony Award for Best Musical, a Tony nomination for Best Book of a Musical, was a 2009 Pulitzer Prize finalist and garnered Hudes other awards.

Hudes has a B.A. in Music from Yale University and an M.F.A. in playwriting from Brown University.

“Water by the Spoonful” is an open page to current events. Soldier Elliot Ortiz is home from a tour in Iraq. Now he must reconnect with his family and begin a new life. Looking for support anywhere he can find it, Ortiz discovers an Internet chat room. There he finds four others who also need support to face their own demons.

It’s not long before Elliot’s real world intersects with his virtual world in unforeseen ways.

As a director, actor and producer, Torres is certainly qualified to direct this work.

He is co-founder and was artistic director of Teatro Vista Theatre in Chicago. He directed the world premiere of Kristoffer Diaz’s “The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity,” which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist.

Torres was also the recipient of a 2010 3Arts Artist Award and was featured as guest director at the 2011 Eugene O’Neill Theater Center National Playwrights Conference, where he serves on their artistic council.

He had an acting role in Hudes’ “Elliot, A Soldier’s Fugue,” a role that Torres relates to this play.

“I played Elliott’s father in that play,” Torres said. “Since it was also about war and returning home, the backstory of the effects to those who have been to war lead into this play. Elliott (Rey Lucas) in this play is a very charming individual who is connected to his family, especially his sister Yazmin (Sarah Nina Hayon), and his mother Odessa (Marilyn Torres).

Torres said the cast (with very impressive resumes) is great. Auditions were held in Los Angles, New York and Chicago.

“It was important to cast close to each character and the story line,” Torres said.

“We’re about storytelling and creatively conveying it to the audience, making sure the words of the play are distinct and clear. I hope those who see ‘Water by the Spoonful’ get a clear understanding of what recovery and addiction is about, and that it’s always good to expand one’s horizons culturally.” ◆

Let’s Review DIANA SAENGER

Warning: Planning ahead may result in remorse

M

any can attest that present actions often spark from past occurrences. This idea runs through the decades in J.B. Priestley’s “Time and the Conways,” now playing at The Old Globe Theatre.

A lavish 1919 sofa, small table and two chairs in front of a beautifully decorated wall belie the home of widowed Mrs. Conway (Kim Martin-Cotten) and some of her children.

The mood is festive as they host a big birthday party for Kay (Amanda Quaid), which revolves around a game of charades. She and her sisters — the worrisome Carol (Leanne Agmon), tryingto-be-interested Madge (Morgan Hallett) and arrogant Hazel (Rose Hemingway) — flit about throwing different apparel on each other and dashing off through the door to what we assume is the ballroom (since the audience hears the gaiety, but

does not see it).

Joining the fun is friend Joan Helford (Sarah Manton) and brother Alan Conway (Jonathan Fielding) a stutterer who watches, far more than he speaks, but makes more sense than most of the others.

When part of the costuming includes a coat worn by their father, a tamper falls on the cheerful atmosphere, especially for Carol, who admits that when others are happy and excited she often thinks of bad things.

The down mood becomes even more evident when mother enters the room to announce she’s not used to happiness.

It’s soon apparent several family members are not happy — Kay’s journalism career is not up to her liking and Alan takes verbal abuse from his mother when she admits she forgets he’s a man.

But the party must go on as Mrs.

URINARY INCONTINENCE YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT

www.lajollalight.com

One in every five women experiences pelvic floor dysfunction, such as urinary incontinence, pelvic prolapse or accidental bowel leakage. Fortunately, effective treatments are available.

UC San Diego Women’s Pelvic Medicine Center offers women of all ages customized treatment options by sub-specialty trained urologists and urogynecologists who focus their practice on female pelvic floor disorders.

For more information, call 800-926-8273 or visit womenspelvicmed.ucsd.edu.

The Old Globe Theatre’s cast of J.B. Priestley’s ‘Time and the Conways,’ directed by Rebecca Taichman, portrays the British Conway family in good times and bad. JIM COX Conway throws a Spanish shawl on her shoulder and becomes a singing smash star — at least in her own eyes.

Madge shows obvious interest in the family attorney, Gerald Thornton (Leo Marks), when he arrives bringing along Ernest Beevers (Max Gordon Moore),

who is overly interested in Joan. When Robin Conway (Lee Aaron Rosen) finally shows up in his military uniform, he begins drinking too much and hitting on Joan, who is happy over his attentions.

Actress Laura Dern to speak at tribute to women luncheon

APRIL 17, 2014 - LA JOLLA LIGHT

T

he YWCA of San Diego County will host its 16th annual “In the Company of Women” luncheon noon to 1:40 p.m. Friday, April 25 at the San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina, 333 West Harbor Drive.

The luncheon features keynote speaker actress Laura Dern, a YWCA client presentation, and the Tribute to Women & Industry (TWIN) Awards.

“In the Company of Women” raises critical funds for all the YWCA’s programs, including Becky’s House (for victims of domestic violence), PASSAGES, and the Cortez Hill Family Center.

Dern has appeared in such films as “Jurassic Park” and “Rambling Rose,” for which she earned her first Academy Award nomination. Most recently, Dern starred in the HBO series “Enlightened,” which she also co-created and produced.

Following Dern’s speech, the YWCA TWIN Awards, which recognize women in a managerial, executive or leadership role for their outstanding achievements, will be presented. Since inception, the

Zaretsky explained the deep bond between the ancient Passover feast and the Christian communion celebration in modern times. LJCC is a non-denominational, biblically-based church at 4377 Eastgate Mall. The Senior Pastor is Rev. Steve Murray. ljcommunitychurch.org ◆

SPONSORED COLUMNS RICK RUTSTEIN Professional Design & Drafting 858.750.6669

Building Your Dream Home by the Rules The National Association of Home Builders’ remodeling index, which measures current remodeling activity and indicators of future remodeling activity, is at its highest point since 2004. Thanks to the economic recovery, many homeowners are finally able to move forward with those home improvement plans they’ve been putting off. If you are planning to move forward with your much-awaited home improvement plans, you probably want to get started yesterday. But having been in the home design industry for years, there are two aspects of the home improvement process I want to

bring to your attention that require some attention upfront: planning and permits.

The first thing you want to do is make a preliminary plan. Only you know what you are hoping to achieve from the home improvements, so make sure you get all your ideas down. For example, which problems are you hoping to solve? Do you need more storage space? Perhaps you’re looking for a more open floor plan or maybe a room addition. It also might be helpful to pull clippings from home design magazines and blogs for inspiration. Once you have created your wish list, prioritize the list and discuss it with your designer so he and she can create a design that most effectively fulfills your wishes. From there, the designer will create conceptual drawings, which you can then take to get an estimate from the contractor of your choice. Jenny, we also provide conceptual drawings at our firm, instead of prompting readers to discuss the plans with “their designer”, we prefer that the article say that we too provide such service. The added perk about us is that we do not just design, we ensure that the design will work (since we are able to

address structural integrity and code parameters) at the conceptual phase, before we move into the construction phase.

It’s also important to design by the rules. San Diego has restrictions regarding how close a structure can be built to property lines, building area rations, historic-district preservation, ordinances, etc. Therefore, many remodels and home additions require permits.

In order to obtain a permit, you must submit your plans to the development services department, showing the existing conditions and the proposed improvements; packaged with all city required drawings (site plan, water pollution control plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, etc.). Clearly being prepared and knowing what a project will require from the beginning helps ensure a successful project.

To ensure a successful project, clear communication in the planning process is key, while preventing possible issues with the building department through concise research for the permits required. Therefore, to hasten the permit process, it’s important to work with a professional who understands the San Diego permit process. The objective is to design your

dream home, while ensuring your building permit is processed as effortlessly and easily as possible. On the other hand if you don’t obtain the proper permits or your designs don’t meet regulations, you may be required to return the home to its original state and/or go through the permit processing with possible violations, both triggering fines, fees and a less than pleasing experience At Professional Design and Drafting, we furnish you with conceptual drawings, and the construction drawings to build your desired home (combination building permit, coastal development permit). We also work closely with San Diego City Development Services Department to obtain the permits for you.

Having been a plan checker with the city of Santa Rosa, I understand the process and code requirements associated with the development of a project.

For more information on how we can help you design and obtain permits to create your dream home, log onto www. professionaldesignanddrafting.com or call us at 858-583-1979.

orty All Hallows Academy students (and teachers) enjoyed a sneak peek of The San Diego Opera’s “Don Quixote,” April 3 as part of Muriel Gluck’s Student Nights at the Opera outreach program. The “nights” support the now threatened Opera in San Diego and enhance drama and theatre arts, music, history and language learning for students of all ages.

TRUE OR FALSE? Easter eggs, also called Paschal eggs, are special eggs that are given to celebrate springtime.

True. The practice of decorating eggshell is ancient, pre-dating Christian traditions. Ostrich eggs with engraved decoration that are 60,000 years old have been found in Africa. Decorated ostrich eggs, and representations of ostrich eggs in gold and silver, were commonly placed in graves of the ancient Sumerians and Egyptians as early as 5,000 years ago.

The custom of the Easter egg, however, originated in the early Christians of Mesopotamia, who stained eggs red in memory of the blood of Christ, shed at his crucifixion. The Christian Church officially adopted the custom, regarding the eggs as a symbol of the resurrection. ◆ — Wikipedia

LA JOLLA’S GEMS OF THE WEEK

“Named national winner of the ‘Best of Home Care Award’ by Home Care Pulse.”

It starts with our caregivers. We carefully screen nearly 25 applicants for each caregiver we hire. Only the best are good enough for Home Care Assistance!

We follow this with extensive training. Finally we invite geriatric experts to meet with our caregivers so that they are up-to-date with the newest ideas about senior care.

Hourly and Live-In Care. Our caregiving services focus on two basic types of care: hourly and live-in. The service you choose is determined by your particular needs.

Hourly caregiving works well for many families. In this situation we provide trained caregivers on an hourly basis. Here the caregiver focuses all her attention exclusively on the senior.

Live-in care differs from hourly care in that we provide personal aides on a daily basis. Live-in caregivers are often the best choice for those seniors who need the companionship of another person, but who do not have intense “all the time” personal needs.

At Home Care Assistance we mean it when we talk about providing the best in senior care–whether it is on an hourly basis or a live-in basis.

NEW! Senior Yoga Classes in collaboration with Prana Yoga Center are now held every Thursday from 10:30am-11:30am in the Home Care Assistance La Jolla office! Join us!

Bobby Graham joins Willis Allen in La Jolla

Mina Kazerouni on staff at Willis Allen’s La Jolla office

W

illis Allen Real Estate welcomes real estate broker Bobby Graham to its flagship La Jolla branch office. Graham is a Certified Negotiation Expert and Accredited Buyers Representative who focuses on luxury home sales and listings.

Graham is a La Jolla native who grew up in a real estate family before attending USC. His father was a real estate attorney and investor in La Jolla, while his mother still works as a broker in The Jewel. Prior to becoming a real estate broker and running his own real estate firm in La Jolla, Graham was a flight instructor, commercial airline pilot and a luxury jet pilot. “I have always been extremely competitive and I excelled as a pilot, Bobby Graham where I learned how to multi-task, stay calm under pressure and respond quickly to changing circumstances, which helped me a lot�

Graham said. “These are all skills that I use with my real estate clients, as well. My clients will definitely benefit from me being a broker associate with Willis Allen Real Estate, which is the premier real estate firm in San Diego.�

Willis Allen’s La Jolla branch manager Jane Dreher said Graham’s positive energy and thirst for knowledge are just two of the keys to his success. “As Realtors, we wear a lot of hats — client advocates, negotiators, inventory experts and more — and Bobby juggles it all exceptionally well. He is a great addition to our La Jolla team,� Dreher said. ◆ — To contact broker associate Bobby Graham, call (858) 480-9608, e-mail bgraham@willisallen.com or visit mybrokerbobby.com

illis Allen Real Estate, which is celebrating 100 years in business, has welcomed seasoned Realtor Mina Kazerouni to its headquarters in La Jolla.

For 17 years, Kazerouni has been involved in real estate sales and custom home development, where she gained a wealth of knowledge about homes from the ground up. “I’m often asked by my clients to Mina Kazerouni help them get their homes staged and ready for the market,� Kazerouni said. “I enjoy this very much and tend to have a good eye for furniture placement, room organization and de-cluttering of living spaces, which are important to successfully selling a home.�

Kazerouni speaks three languages.

She was born in Iran, went to high school in France and moved to California to attend college at UCLA before settling down in La Jolla to raise her family. “I feel I bring something extra to the table as far as understanding and appreciating clients with diverse, international backgrounds,� she said.

La Jolla branch manager Jane Dreher said this international perspective is important at Willis Allen, which is locally owned and operated, but serves a global network of home buyers and sellers because of its affiliations with Christie’s International Real Estate, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and Luxury Portfolio. “Mina is an honest Realtor who always goes the extra mile for her clients,� Dreher said. “She is a helpful and knowledgeable agent who has a history of referral-based business, which is the highest compliment a Realtor can get.�

When she’s not closing a deal for one of her clients or helping another one list their home, Kazerouni — who is a self-described food enthusiast — enjoys cooking and food blogging.

She is also an avid reader, painter and jewelry-maker.

Kazerouni volunteers time with the Words Alive organization, where the mission is to open opportunities for success by inspiring a commitment to reading amongst youth, adolescents and adults. â—†

APRIL 17, 2014 - LA JOLLA LIGHT

Close to this point (and intermission), the set begins moving to the rear of the stage as a new one with the exact-looking set pieces behind it, comes down to replace it.

It is 19 years later, and the family members again fill the room. They’ve come to find out what their deceased father has left each of them and they’re not prepared for what their attorney tells them — or that their mother is no longer the singing beauty.

The cast is wonderful, although some of the dialogue is a little hard to decipher through the British accents.

Some of the lines feel like filler instead of what Priestley really was trying to say about time: Don’t bet on a situation as you would like it to be to avoid ghastly disappointment years later when it’s entirely different. ◆

“Because of Kevin’s abilities, his clients trust him implicitly to help them navigate tricky real estate transactions.”

Bennett is dedicated to giving back to the community, a value that aligns closely with Willis Kevin Bennett Allen’s philanthropic company culture. He volunteers time and support to at-risk youth in low-income neighborhoods and youth education. ◆ — To reach Kevin Bennett, e-mail kevin@willisallen.com or call (619) 929-6858.
