■ Adjacent home rebuild in limbo while city considers its historicity and unpermitted changes BY PAT SHERMAN A sprawling Tudor Revival-style brick home the late newspaper publisher David Copley purchased for his mother, Helen Copley, to lift her spirits while she was in ill health, is undergoing a significant rehabilitation that should be complete early next year. In 1997, La Jolla Realtor Joan Henderson Brown, then of Westland Properties, sold the

property for $975,000. Following a major interior renovation, her clients resold it to David Copley in 1998 for $1,525,000. “They did some pretty brilliant things,” Brown said. Despite the work, which included new paint and landscaping, the property still needed a new kitchen and other finishing touches. “We had heard that Helen wasn’t feeling well. David thought it would be a nice little project for her,” said Brown, noting that the property was close to a

Born Stanley Bert Eisen, the 62-year-old rocker was about an hour late, giving Flores a chance to dive into the book’s prologue while waiting in line. “I wish he’d go back on stage,” Flores said, noting Stanley’s 1999 lead in a Canadian production of ‘The Phantom of the Opera.” “I don’t care what it would cost — I’d pay.”

AVENIDA DE LA PLAYA

Residents upset over construction setbacks BY ASHLEY MACKIN Avenida de la Playa, the main street through the business district of La Jolla Shores, is undergoing what some are calling “a perfect storm of construction.” The ongoing Avenida de la Playa Infrastructure Project has suffered yet another setback, leaving some residents to question whether the work will be completed by Memorial Day (May 26), the start of the summer construction moratorium. The project involves replacing the storm drain at the end of Avenida de la Playa where the street meets the beach, aka The Boat Launch, and working east to repair the sewer and water pipes leading up to it. But some residents and business owners along Avenida de la Playa say there was insufficient

Warwick’s employee Mary Lee Delafield pays homage to Kiss’s ‘Starchild’ (Paul Stanley), as she hands the rocker copies of his new book for him to autograph.

Kiss fan Anne Marie Flores, who works at the Best Western on Fay Avenue, reads Stanley’s memoir while waiting for him to arrive for the Warwick’s book signing. “I don’t mind that he’s going to be a little bit late,” she said. “I’ll wait till 10 or 11 p.m. just to say hi and shake the man’s hand.”

Sim Ziff of Carlsbad traveled to Toronto in 1999 to see Paul Stanley (right) perform the lead role in the ‘Phantom of the Opera.’

FROM PAUL STANLEY, AA1 Warwick’s employee and Kiss fan Emily Vermillion of La Jolla said she was excited to learn Stanley was coming to the store. “I was teaching art in Iowa City, Iowa in the late 1970s and all of my fifth and sixth graders showed up for Halloween in Kiss costumes,” she recalled. “I said, ‘I’ve got to find out about these guys,’ and I did — and I’ve loved them ever since.” Stanley took time earlier in the week to speak with La Jolla Light about his new book, in which he recounts being born without a right ear (a condition known as microtia), his dysfunctional family and being ridiculed as a child. The book is also filled with pointed criticisms of his band mates — including alleged anti-Semitism by original Kiss members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, and lying and philandering by co-founder and longtime collaborator, Gene Simmons. “Ultimately, if you start to drown me then I have to let you go,” he said of the off-again, on-again participation of Frehley and Criss. “Kiss has always been my baby, as far as I’m concerned. … At the end of the day, I’ll do whatever I have to, to keep it moving forward and that really is the mindset that got me through a lot of very difficult times.” When told that many fans consider his 1978 solo album and Kiss’s “Dynasty” (1979) to be rock masterpieces, Stanley laughed. “Well, I’d agree with half of that,” he said. “I think ‘Dynasty’ is a good album. I think there was some great songs on that, but I certainly am a little partial to my solo album.” His personal favorite, he said, is the album that put Kiss on the global map — 1975’s “Alive!,” recorded at Detroit’s Cobo Hall. “It was the giant step that put us into the international hierarchy and, honestly, the last two albums (2009’s “Sonic Boom” and 2012’s “Monster”) mean the world to me because they are built on our past and stand firmly in the present and future.” An abstract painter who has held exhibitions in La Jolla, including one at the former Wentworth Gallery on Prospect Street, Stanley said he took a hiatus from the canvas. “The very reason I did it in the first place was to get away from pressure, and all of a

Kiss frontman Paul Stanley signed copies of his new memoir, ‘Face the Music: A Life Exposed’ at Warwick’s Bookstore April 18. sudden I had shows every month and there was a fair amount of pressure to produce. I didn’t want that to taint something I kind of found as a refuge … but I’m certainly painting and will start doing shows again.” With numerous hits to his name, including “Rock and Roll All Night,” “Detroit Rock City” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You,” Stanley used his Hall of Fame induction with Kiss this month as an opportunity to call into question what many in the industry consider the organization’s jaded nomination and selection process. He asserts that Rock Hall organizers, having shunned Kiss for 14 years, didn’t even provide passes for them upon their arrival. So, how was Kiss was received by its industry peers at the induction ceremony in Brooklyn? “Most bands, from all different genres, have really championed us,” he said. “The people who don’t understand us and have done their best to squash us are critics — and how much credence can you put in somebody’s opinion who doesn’t pay for a ticket or pay for an album? The people who I consider important were all terrific and beyond cordial, very happy about our being inducted. I see those as my peers and don’t worry about the rest. “There’s bands that I might not necessarily

embrace musically, but the numbers speak for themselves,” Stanley continued. “We’re not here to have a contest of who knows the most obscure act. If the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were the ‘Rock and Roll Hall of Fame of the People,’ it would reflect album sales; it would reflect (an artist’s) impact on other bands.” Prior to the Rock Hall ceremony, organizers insisted that Stanley and Simmons perform in makeup with original guitarist Frehley (of San Diego) and drummer Criss, though they have long been replaced, in large part due to their well-documented excesses with drugs and alcohol. Though Frehley and Criss were for it, Stanley and Simmons declined. “We don’t jump through hoops for anybody,” Stanley insisted. “(Rolling Stone magazine and Rock and Roll Hall founder) Jann Wenner has hated us from Day 1, has never put us on the cover (incidentally, until this month) and has chosen to ignore us as best as possible over the years, telling his writers not to write about us, and even going as low as not acknowledging an obituary for (former Kiss drummer) Eric Carr, who died of heart cancer at 40 years of age, after playing to millions of people and playing on multi-platinum albums. “So, between Jann Wenner and a (guy) like (music critic) Dave Marsh — that’s the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It’s just a

couple of smart businessmen who may have once loved music, but now see it as an opportunity to be tastemakers. Instead of leaving the voting to the public, they hide behind this very impressive title, which they trademarked. You could have trademarked it, and then you’d be the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.” Unlike Frehley and Criss, Stanley avoided a life of drugs and alcohol, choosing exercise and fitness. If he had anything approaching a vice, Stanley said, it was sex and being a workaholic. “That was my drug of choice. It got us all onto this Earth, it hurt nobody and it was certainly fun. There’s been no pressure for me,” he maintained. “Success is about a work ethic — and if you’re proud of what you do and you give it your best, then it’s only a matter of how hard you’re willing to work before you succeed.” Asked if Kiss would be willing to play at La Jolla Cove or the Children’s Pool (the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act allows for the use of loud noise to disperse seals and sea lions), Stanley said it’s possible. “We could just call the program, ‘Sealed with a Kiss,’ ” he quipped. ◆ ■ Next celebrity visit: Comedian Chelsea Handler, 2 p.m. Friday, April 25 at Warwick’s, 7812 Prospect Ave. Tickets: $29.16 at warwicks.indiebound.com

LA JOLLA LIGHT - APRIL 24, 2014 - AA3

FROM VIRGINIA WAY MANSION, AA1 mansion the Copleys owned two blocks down, at Virginia Way and Ivanhoe Avenue. Architect Laura DuCharme Conboy, who designed the rehabilitation and sits on the La Jolla Historical Society’s board of directors, said the home will be used as a singlefamily residence and its historic character preserved (including the restoration of an original slate roof that was replaced several decades ago with red-hued shingles). However, she said, via e-mail, “The house has not been designated as historic and we do not know for certain what determination the (city’s) Historical Resources Board (HRB) would give it, but we have proceeded on the assumption that the original character of the house is worth preserving and, while incorporating 21st century necessities, endeavored to remain consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties for Rehabilitation.” Working with historian and attorney Scott Moomjian (who, ironically, has been hired to refute the historicity of many older La Jolla structures when owners seek to redevelop them) it was determined that the home at 1419 Virginia Way had no master architect or builder associated with it. “If anything, it possessed the characteristics of a certain style,” Conboy said. All exterior modifications to the existing structure have been limited to portions not visible from the street, she said. A new, two-story structure being added at the rear of the property will include a three-car garage, laundry room and second-story bedroom. Though the roof slope and

FROM AVENIDA DE LA PLAYA, AA1 public notice and inadequate representation for the scale of the work being done. After overcoming delays that put the project behind schedule last month, additional surprises put certain phases of construction on pause. Chiefly, San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) unexpectedly needed to come in to relocate and place power and gas lines underground. Hanan Eisenman, SDG&E Communications Manager, said the storm drain work would cross the path of power and gas lines that would have to be relocated so the project can move forward. He said for projects in the public right-ofway, SDG&E does not typically give residents notices, but placed “No Parking” signs in front of the affected areas 48 hours in advance to indicate work activity. One Avenida de la Playa resident and landlord, Nicole Goedhart, asserts the impacts to her property merited additional outreach from both the city and SDG&E. “My first knowledge about the (Avenida de la Playa Infrastructure) project was a door hanging early in the new year left by the city regarding the project, with just a generic description with contact information; nothing, by the way, from SDG&E. It wasn’t until Tim Lucas (La Jolla Shores Association chair) came to my door in March and talked to me in person, that I had any idea of the huge impact this

Construction on this home at Virginia Way and Exchange Place has been delayed due to city requests that the owner replace historic features removed as part of unpermitted modifications. PAT SHERMAN material (slate) will be the same for the addition, as well as its scale and proportions, concrete will be used in place of brick. Conboy said preservationists prefer continuity when adding additions to older properties, in lieu of mimicry, to differentiate the two. A four-foot glass wall will be used as a transition between the old and new structures, she said. In addition, a rear entryway and covered porch will be preserved, though a mature Norfolk Island pine tree had to be removed due to a beetle infestation and because its root system blocked construction, Conboy said. It will likely be replaced by a cedar. A magnolia tree will be removed from the front of the property. The interior renovation will bring the property up to 21st century standards by removing some doors and opening up passages between rooms. “That’s one of the challenges of renovating old

project would directly have on me, my family and my tenants,” she said. The impacts include much noise and dust, as her property is on a corner adjacent to the block under construction; the installation of a water shut-off unit that required the removal of her decorative bricks; installation of electrical boxes alongside the property; and being awakened as early as 6 a.m. each morning. In addition, she and her tenants have limited, if any, access to their garages (some losing parking). “No one had any idea that our lives would be this disrupted,” she said. When it came to parking impacts, she said city engineers advised her to look into parking alternatives for the duration of construction. She and other property managers reached out to the nearby La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, which agreed to let residents impacted by parking limitations use spaces in their facility as temporary day parking and overnight parking. “I could have put up with all of this if someone had given us the courtesy of a heads-up,” she said. “All this could have been solved if we knew about this ahead of time and there wouldn’t be this panic situation.” The SDG&E work halted the installation of box culverts — large cement squareshaped structures that allow water to flow under a road, which are embedded and surrounded by soil — along the westernmost end of Avenida de la Playa,

buildings,” Conboy said. “Lifestyles are so different now. In the 1920s, activities were sequestered into rooms. We don’t live like that anymore. … The spaces need to flow and need to fit today’s family’s lifestyle.” Stalled construction: A home across the street at Virginia Way and Exchange Place, which sold for $1.45 million several months ago, has sat gutted for months, as the city requests that its new owner address several items. A historic site specific study obtained by La Jolla Light shows the city found “16 outstanding review issues” with the property, including “recent, unpermitted modifications.” The city determined that the property “appears eligible for designation” under one or more Historical Resources Board criteria (despite the applicant’s January 2014 report submitted to the city deeming the project not eligible for designation). The city’s historic site study states, “any work must be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties in order to avoid adverse impacts to the potential resource.” According to the study, the owner is seeking to add a second story, deck and other modifications. To be approved, the study states, side windows, stucco finishes, roofing, rafters and other items removed from the historic portion of the house must be reconstructed or replaced. Remaining historic windows and doors should also be repaired and remain in place. In addition, the proposed addition should be “substantially stepped back from the front façade of the (existing) house and reduced in scale to minimize impact to the historic house,” the report states. ◆

Construction starts at the westernmost end of Avenida de la Playa and moves east, to repair the storm drain and the sewer and water pipes. ASHLEY MACKIN extending the time in which Goedhart’s property is impacted. Monica Munoz, senior public information officer for San Diego Public Works, said of the work to be conducted in the meantime, “HPS Mechanical, the contractor for the project, will replace as much of the sewer and water lines as it can during the box culvert delay and HPS,

along with the city engineering staff, are working on ways to accelerate the construction schedule after SDG&E moves out of the area.” Before crews can proceed with culvert installation, which was scheduled the week of April 21, they had to reset the culverts already installed. An e-mail to residents from LJSA chair Lucas states, “A decision was made that the installed sections of culvert for the first block of Avenida de la Playa would need to be removed and reset 10 inches lower. They had been installed according to the engineering plan, but that plan, it appears, did not address the drainage issues properly. Sometimes plans do not work in the field. … The important thing to note is that the city and the contractors are committed to getting this job done correctly, so that there is proper drainage in the event of a large storm that overwhelms the storm drain system.” To move the culverts, a multi-ton crane was set up at the intersection of Avenida de la Playa and Camino Del Oro, which Munoz said residents can expect to see “for several weeks.” Munoz added, “All agencies do their best to coordinate work schedules and efforts but until the street is dug up we don’t necessarily know what additional challenges we may encounter.” ◆ ■ Find project updates at bit.ly/ project809updates

Dan McAllister speaks at La Jolla Community Center BY ASHLEY MACKIN On tax day, April 15, San Diego County Treasurer/Tax Collector Dan McAllister addressed guests at the La Jolla Community Center as part of its Distinguished Speakers Series. He came to discuss the county’s property tax situation, and how census data and school bonds play a part. “We are moving in a great direction, and that is up,” McAllister said. “Not only are there new building permits being issued, more than in the last few years, and not only are there more repurposing (efforts) to increase property values, but we see hard numbers coming from the Assessors Office saying that last year, countywide, the market was up 3 percent.” He added, “You should all look at this as (if you are the)

beneficiaries because those tax dollars come right back to work. They come back to work in La Jolla and all 18 cities of the county … in a variety of ways.” Last year, McAllister’s staff sent out 981,000 property tax bills to San Diego County property owners, which is up almost 2,000 from the previous year. He attributes the rise to an increase in the number of taxable parcels in San Diego. McAllister — who grew up in La Jolla but now resides in Pacific Beach — boasts that his office has a 98.6 percent collection rate, which is the second highest in Southern California (behind Orange County). Several factors, including adapting to changes in Census data, contribute to the high collection rate.

San Diego County TreasurerTax Collector Dan McAllister addresses guests at La Jolla Community Center. ASHLEY MACKIN

In 1960, census numbers revealed that 90-95 percent of the San Diego population was white. Since then,

increases in other racial groups caused a change in the population makeup of San Diego.

“We’re gaining new bodies and new permanent residents from all over the world. But from our standpoint, our job is to collect taxes, and we have to figure out how to reach people who don’t necessarily speak English as a first or even second language,” he said. As an example, he said in 2002, when he was first elected, “Sixty percent of calls to our South Bay office came from property owners speaking Spanish, but we didn’t have one person who could speak Spanish in that office.” Now, he said 16 different languages are spoken at his workplace. McAllister said this is relevant because there are more home buyers from countries, such as China coming to La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe than ever before.

Pinniped Piper? Former SeaWorld trainer says he can persuade sea lions away from Cove BY PAT SHERMAN former SeaWorld employee of 18 years believes he has the solution for the stench at La Jolla Cove — conditioning the sea lion colony there to leave through behavior modification techniques. David Butcher, a former corporate vice-president of animal behavior for the oceanthemed amusement park, says he could have the marine mammals cleared out within three months if his contract is approved by the City of San Diego. La Jolla Shores attorney Norm Blumenthal has suggested the city hire Butcher and his firm, Precision Behavior, to work with the sea lions — though the city has not yet entertained the roughly $30,000 proposal. On behalf of the nonprofit Citizens for Odor Nuisance Abatement group, Blumenthal filed suit

FROM GLIDERPORT BOOK, A1 “They recognized that this was an important place (for gliding experiments) because of the geography and the wonderful climate and the daily sea breezes,” Fogel said. Gliding and hang gliding in the early 1900s typically involved a person running off the top of a hill and gliding to the bottom, “experiencing flight maybe five feet off the ground, being very happy that nothing terrible happened and you made a successful landing,” Fogel said. Conversely, “soaring” evolved as people came to better understand aerodynamics and wind currents well enough to remain aloft for extended periods of time. By the 1930s, Torrey Pines’ strong coastal breezes had made it an epicenter for the competitive air sport of soaring, in which pilots seek to remain airborne while flying unpowered aircraft known as gliders or sailplanes, relying only on rising air currents in the atmosphere. “If you know where to find those kinds of currents, you can take your motor-less plane and launch yourself into that upward air and maintain your altitude or even gain altitude above your point of takeoff,” explained Fogel, a 1986 La Jolla High School graduate who as a boy began flying radio-controlled sailplanes at Torrey Pines with his father, Dr. Larry Fogel. The CEO of a computer science company who now resides in Carmel Valley, Fogel also teaches an introductory aerospace engineering course at San Diego State University and serves as a historian for the local chapter of the Associated Glider Clubs of Southern California (a group of manned glider enthusiasts). Although Fogel also pilots manned gliders, his primarily love remains the model unmanned craft he learned to operate with his father, weekends at Torrey Pines. “In the 1950s here in San Diego there were a lot of airplane companies — Ryan Aeronautical Company and Consolidated Aircraft. Some of the clubs also had

amateur (ham) radio operators. They had the audacity to think that maybe if we stuck a radio into a model airplane we’d be able to control it from the ground and try to keep it aloft for as long as possible,” said Fogel, who in 1995 set a national radiocontrolled sailplane distance record, flying a model glider from Torrey Pines south to Scripps Pier while walking along the beach. In the early 1990s, Fogel and his father helped preserve the gliderport by securing local, state and national historic designations for the site. His first book, 2000’s “Wind and Wings: The History of Soaring in San Diego,” was a detailed text on the history of local aviation, geared more toward soaring enthusiasts. While doing research for it, Fogel interviewed many pioneering glider pilots that have since passed away, as well as photographers who captured their triumphs and mishaps in the 1950s and ’60s. One of those he befriended, Los Angelesbased sailplane photographer George Uveges, allowed Fogel access to his photo archive for his new book.

They don’t understand that many of soaring’s greatest sailplane pilots learned to fly at that location and it’s inspired everything from new ways of designing surfboards to new ways of making

aerodynamic cars and saving aircraft with a parachute (recovery system).” Known for his role in the construction of Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis and as a designer of the iconic Airstream travel trailer, aviation pioneer Hawley Bowlus gave gliding lessons to Charles and Anne Lindbergh at Torrey Pines, Mt. Soledad and Point Loma. “In 1929 and 1930, when Hawley Bowlus would make these kind of flights (in San Diego), it was national news that he was able to stay up for an hour or two hours or five hours without a motor,” Fogel said. “It was an incredible accomplishment, kind of like us going to the moon.” Charles Lindbergh set a regional distance record for sailplanes at the time, launching from the lift at Torrey Pines Gliderport and landing on the beach at Del Mar. “That’s one of the coolest things ever that Charles Lindbergh was the first one who opened up that place for us to enjoy,” Fogel said. “For others who don’t know that story, it’s just another place — and those are the kinds of things I hope this book can help convey.” ◆

FROM SEA LION TRAINER, A4 to teach them that it’s more preferable for them to live, rest or sleep on other rocks than the ones that they’ve chosen. … “The sea lions, when they get done learning what they’re going to learn, are not going to care one way or the other,” Butcher said. “They just picked up and slept where they’ve been … because it was convenient.” Butcher said sea lions exhibit behavior very similar to dogs in that there usually is a leader. “When you get the one leader deciding that this is the direction we’re going to go, then they’re all going to go that way,” he said. Precision Behavior works to change

animal behavior by creating variability and complexity in their environment, explained Butcher, who assured that he follows guidelines established by the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which prevents people from harassing, disturbing, feeding or capturing sea lions or seals, but allows some methods of disturbing them to elicit their safe dispersal. “It’s going to take some observations on our part,” Butcher said. “Behavior is fluid. When I observe how animals and people do the kinds of things that they do in their environment, then I selectively choose to change the environment in a positive way to attract their attention and reinforce (new) behavior so that they choose to

(incorporate) that in their lifestyle.” Butcher said he eschews using terms such as “training” (which he said makes people think of animals performing tricks) and “coaxing.” “I would want them to ‘choose’ what makes them feel most comfortable in their life,” he said. “Based upon how we interface, if you will, with changes in our world, determines whether we’re going to choose to do the same thing again or not.” The majority of Precision Behavior’s work involves educating animal care workers to modify animals’ behavior, so that the animals don’t have to be caged or anesthetized during veterinary inspections, Butcher said. “We’ve actually taken our company

further and started teaching management staff and corporations how to deal with their employees so that it creates a (more) productive environment for the employee to want to come to work,” said Butcher, who is writing a book about behavior and its relation to the environment (unrelated to Precision Behavior) that chronicles his longstanding relationship with an orca during his years at SeaWorld. “It’s a love story,” Butcher said. “I fell in love with this animal. We were best of friends and he taught me a lot about what I know today. Back then it was like a living laboratory. I studied and practiced and learned, and this particular relationship with this whale is really what the book is all about. ... It will help parents.” ◆

Grace Marie StubbinsMarston

www.lajollalight.com

1922 – 2014 Grace Marie StubbinsMarston, 92, died April 9, 2014, at Hilo Medical Center, Hawaii Island. Born in Long Beach, she moved to Honolulu in 1941 and was Miss Lurline en route. Grace was an executive secretary during World War II. (From her sister’s home they watched Pearl Harbor’s bombing.) She lived in Hilo with her first husband for several years before moving back to Honolulu. Her daughters remember critiquing desserts in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s when she was a Betty Crocker test cook. In 1967 Grace married Fred Stubbins and moved

to La Jolla, where she volunteered at Salk Institute, was an avid gardener, and joined the National Federation of Republican Women. Grace loved to dance, travel and design, especially jewelry and home decor. A few years after Fred passed away, she married Fritz Marston, a long-time resident of San Diego and a wonderful man who swept her off her feet. Widowed again, Grace returned to Hawaii last year to live with her daughter’s family and get to know her greatgrandchildren. She is survived by daughters, Barbara (Gary) Andersen of Hilo, Hawaii, Joan (James) BlackshearLeech of Holualoa, Hawaii, Lisa Naumu of Palm Desert, CA, and Elizabeth Bontecou of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii; stepsons, Ric Stubbins of San Diego and Thomas and Trowbridge Marston of Delaware; stepdaughters, Amanda Singer of Idaho and Virginia M. Burawski and Marguerite M. Kritkausky of Delaware; five grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and a niece. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ lajollalight.

Elizabeth “Betty” Phillips 1921 – 2014 Betty Phillips was born Elizabeth Marie Brockhaus in Cincinnati, Ohio, on March 9, 1921, and passed away on March 31, 2014. In 1942 she married Robert Stirnkorb and started a family which grew to six children. In 1949 the family moved to La Jolla, California, where Bob started a construction business. After separation and divorce, Betty worked at Adelaide’s Florists in La Jolla where she met and fell in love with Harry Phillips. They married in 1983 and enjoyed a wonderful 26 years together before his death in 2009. Betty was involved

in many social and philanthropic organizations such as Scripps Hospital and the Social Service League of La Jolla. She loved her family and friends and enjoyed traveling and playing bridge. She was eternally upbeat and funny (able to laugh at herself and the rest of us too). She had a generous and creative spirit that made it easy to love her. She was much loved by her children and all who knew her. Betty is survived by her six children; four stepchildren; six grandchildren; three stepgrandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Barbara Ann Ferris 1931 – 2014 Barbara Ann Smith Ferris, the daughter of Frederick Harold Smith and Faye Rice Smith, was born on June 26, 1931, in Kansas City, Missouri. After 82 wonderful years, Barbara Ann passed away peacefully at home on March 26, 2014, in La Jolla, California. After attending the Barstow School for Girls in Kansas City, Barbara Ann graduated from Pine Manor College and The University of Arizona as

a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority. Barbara Ann moved to La Jolla where she had spent many fun summers growing up, and where she married, raised her family, and became an integral part of the community, to include serving as the 1975 Jewel Ball Chairman as a member of Las Patronas. Barbara Ann maintained very strong relationships with the many friends she made over the years. When not travelling together, they could often be found playing Rummikub on the beach and laughing on the tennis courts. Barbara Ann will be remembered as a true original who never met a stranger, and turned any occasion into a celebration. Barbara Ann is survived by two children from her marriage to Herbert Henry Ferris Jr., Jeffere Harold of Coronado and Barbara Ann of Austin, Texas. They, their spouses, Sara and Richard, and Barbara Ann’s grandchildren, Katherine, Abigail and Winston, will miss her very much, and hope to carry on her zest for life.

FROM TCS REPORTS

PEARL PREIS

T

his awe-inspiring photo chronicling the stages of the lunar eclipse Monday night (April 14, 2014) was captured by photographer Pearl Preis from 11 p.m. to 12:15 a.m. over La Jolla. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra (shadow). This can occur only when the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned with the Earth in the middle. Hence, a lunar eclipse can only occur the night of a full moon. A lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of the Earth and lasts for a few hours. Also unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to view without any eye protection as they are dimmer than the full moon. ◆ — wikipedia

The Children’s School (TCS), an independent progressive school serving toddlers through eighth-graders, announced that veteran educator John Fowler will become head of school July 1, replacing Evelyn Terry, who is retiring after 10 years of tenure. Fowler currently serves as principal of the Tarbut V’Torah Middle School in Irvine and comes to TCS with more than 25 years of education experience, and an extensive background in experiential, project-based learning. “John joins TCS at an exciting time, as the Nelson Middle Years program continues to expand and we enhance our integrated academic, arts and social curriculum to meet increasing demand for an education that promotes critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration,” Terry said. “John’s devotion to ‘learning by doing,’ his proven ability to inspire and lead in a collaborative way and his belief that educators and children thrive in an environment that fosters creativity and innovation make him ideally suited to shepherd TCS through this time of growth.” The Children’s School Board of Trustees

unanimously chose Fowler following a search that garnered national and international interest from educators. Prior to serving as head of the middle school at Tarbut V’Torah, Fowler was at Milken Community High School in Los Angeles where he served as a dean of academics and student life for four years. At the Athenian School in Danville, where he worked for 11 years, Fowler was head of the science department and chair of the board of trustees’ task force on environmental stewardship. Fowler began his career as a John Fowler science teacher. He chaired visiting accreditation teams for the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and has served on accreditation teams for the California Association of Independent Schools. He holds an undergraduate degree from California State University, Hayward and a Master of Arts degree from Columbia University. An avid hiker and mountain biker, Fowler volunteers his time for trail maintenance associations. tcslj.org ◆

La Jolla man who fatally struck marine biologist pleads guilty to hit-and-run

A

“might have” hit somebody in Del Mar. Watanabe estimated the defendant’s blood-alcohol level was .24 percent at the time of the crash, three times the legal limit for driving. — City News Service

La Jolla man who drove drunk and struck a marine biologist in a crosswalk in Del Mar, then fled the scene, pleaded guilty April 16 to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and a hit-and-run allegation. Christopher “Chip” Stockmeyer, 41, faces between nine and 15 years in prison when he is sentenced June 20 for the March 28 death of Rachel Morrison. Witnesses said the 27-year-old UCSD doctorate student, who was studying at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, was walking eastbound when Stockmeyer ran a stop sign in his Audi A4 and struck her at a high rate of speed at the intersection of Camino Del Mar and Coast Boulevard about 10:15 p.m. Deputy District Attorney Keith Watanabe said the Audi symbol from the car and a partial license plate helped sheriff’s deputies locate Stockmeyer at his La Jolla home 12 miles from the crash site. Stockmeyer reportedly told deputies that he had been drinking with friends at a restaurant in Encinitas and admitted he

San Diego Police warn of ‘warrant’ phone scam San Diego Police are alerting residents to be wary of a phone scam in which a person calls to say there is a warrant out for their target’s arrest. “The caller is very pushy and poses as an employee of the sheriff’s department,” police said in a press release.

McAllister also explained the efforts his office made to minimize debt imposed on future generations, namely, supporting adjustments to the terms of school bonds and getting them signed into law. He referenced one school district in Southern California that issued bonds with a 10-1 payback ratio (most 30-year mortgages, he noted, have a 2.5-1 payback ratio) to be paid back over 40 years. However, it was written into the bond that nothing is owed for the first 20 years, which McAllister said would place the burden of repayment on “our grandkids or their grandkids.� Upon further investigation, he determined that 600 school districts in California were issuing high-ratio bonds between 2007-2012. When bonds are issued, taxpayers are responsible for paying them back through tax increases. Further, the legal council with which his office consulted, said when it came time to pay back these bonds, the county would have the right to increase taxes without a vote of the people if there’s not enough money coming in to pay off the debt. That’s why when legislators proposed changes to the bond system, McAllister said he supported them and testified to their potential success. On Jan. 1, changes were signed into law such as a 25-year maximum on payback

deadlines, 4-1 payback ratios and the new requirement of two public hearings if schools would like to issue large bonds. Additionally, it was written into the bill that all bond issues in the future have “call-ability,â€? so they can be refunded or refinanced within the life of the bond. McAllister said he speaks to some 150 groups each year to educate the public about what his office does. Of his visit, Community Center Director Nancy Walters said, “I felt having Dan speak in tax season — let alone tax day — was a great opportunity for our members ‌ Having him here also allowed people to ask the questions we all ask ourselves year round. ‌ He was extremely interesting and entertaining to listen to.â€? â—†

San Diego Opera names La Jolla Historical Society Carol Lazier as acting president receives $75,000 grant ■ Board President Karen Cohn resigns with 12 other board members, company closure date deferred

S

an Diego Opera announced Carol Lazier, the former Secretary of the board, is now the acting President after President Karen Cohn resigned along with 12 other directors in a board meeting held in La Jolla that lasted over four hours. At a duly convened meeting April 17, by vote of the directors constituting a majority of the required quorum for such meetings, the San Diego Opera Association deferred its previously announced April 29 date for closure of

Carol Lazier operations to at least May 19, to permit the reconstituted board and the special committee led by Lazier to explore opportunities to continue the Opera Association’s mission. Lazier recently offered $1

million to help the Company and board members research and define ways to redirect the Opera with new fund-raising models, a new repertoire and production techniques, and new cost-saving measures. The company, under her leadership, will now explore donor and fund-raising options to prepare a 2015 season, the Company’s 50th, with advice from Opera America and outside experts. San Diego Opera, led by Ian Campbell, announced its closure last month, which was originally scheduled to occur April 14, after its final sold-out performance of “Don Quixote.” A vote by the board March 31 delayed that closure by two weeks. ◆

L

a Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) received a $75,000 grant from the Hind Foundation to support its renovation and rehabilitation of Wisteria Cottage, at the corner of Prospect Street and Eads Avenue. The grant will be applied to the preservation of Wisteria Cottage, the oldest remaining structure of the South Moulton Villa estate (developed by philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps in 1898), and a key component of the LJHS’s campus. A nearly complete renovation of Wisteria Cottage includes the transformation of its interior rooms into museum-quality galleries for exhibitions and public programs. Reopening celebrations will take place the first week of May. Established in 2006 by Greg and Jane Hind, the Hind Foundation provides funding for important projects that have enduring benefits to communities, primarily in California. Its purpose is the preservation of cultural heritage with an emphasis in music and visual arts, plant and wildlife conservation,

historic landmark restoration, land conservation and ecosystem conservation projects. Wisteria Cottage served originally as the guest cottage for “Moulton Villa,” the large adjacent home of Ellen and Virginia Scripps. In 1907, the sisters hired master architect Irving Gill to remodel the Craftsman design and horticulturalist Kate Sessions (the “Mother of Balboa Park”) to develop its landscaping. Guests could walk directly to Moulton Villa from the cottage’s south facing entry, through terraced gardens framed by low cobblestone walls, still visible today. The gardens were open to the public and served as a focal point for the fledgling village. Landmark status was granted to Wisteria Cottage in 1982 for its design, intact landscape and the century-long association with the Scripps family. The Scripps/Revelle family deeded the 1904 Craftsman cottage, garage, and intact landscaping to the LJHS in 2008. More information at lajollahistory.org ◆

La Jolla Family Dentistry treats those with special needs BY MARTI GACIOCH Special needs dentistry patients are a focus for Jana Osmolinski, DDS, at La Jolla Family Dentistry. Jana, a trained dental anesthesiologist, and her husband and partner, Eric Osmolinski, DMD, have worked as a dental team in town since opening newly renovated Draper offices in August 2013. Jana is one of only 300 dental anesthesiologists in the country. She specializes in providing for special needs patients, concentrating on little ones, younger than age 4, who need extensive treatment. She also cares for special needs adults with neural disorders, stroke patients, people with back pain and gag reflex issues, who are difficult to treat outside of a hospital setting. After receiving her general dental education in Slovakia, Jana moved to Canada where she re-trained before participating in the advanced anesthesia and sedation program at New York City’s St. Barnabas Hospital. After three years, she said she mastered all the procedures necessary to prepare her for handling different kinds of emergencies. “I took this training because I was encountering a lot of patients who couldn’t be treated traditionally in a dental

Dr. Eric Osmolinski and Dr. Jana Osmolinski of La Jolla Family Dentistry COURTESY chair,� Jana said. “I decided that I wanted to be able to treat everyone appropriately without any traumatizing — just a smooth and enjoyable experience — and sometimes anesthesia is the only answer.� She explained special needs patients rarely get regular dental care because they have nowhere to go. The few available places are associated with training programs at

dental schools, but there are none in San Diego. The other choice for patients is the hospital, but that’s more expensive and there’s a long waiting period for treatment. “We want to get the word out that we are here to help those patients,� Jana said. Eric Osmolinski is an oral maxillofacial surgeon, who has also had extensive anesthesia training. He specializes in every aspect of oral surgery, including dental implants, wisdom teeth extraction, Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ) and trauma care. The doctors have two children and stay active in the community, offering free mouth-guard clinics for kids participating in sports. They will participate in the annual health fair at the La Jolla Community Center on May 9, as well as the La Jolla Art and Wine Festival in the fall, which benefits four La Jolla elementary schools. ◆ ■Reach doctors Jana and Eric Osmolinski at La Jolla Family Dentistry, 7509 Draper Ave., Suite B.

ordstrom announced plans to relocate its store to a new space within Westfield UTC mall. The new two-level, approximately 145,000-square-foot store will sit at the west side of the center, along Genesee Avenue. It is expected to open in 2017. Nordstrom will continue serving customers at its current location until it relocates. The move is part of UTC’s resortinspired evolution, which also includes additional mall space and structured parking. Nordstrom opened its current 130,000-square-foot, full-line store at University Towne Centre in September 1984. Nordstrom operates three other stores in San Diego at Fashion Valley, Westfield Horton Plaza and Westfield North County in Escondido, plus four Nordstrom Rack stores at Carmel Mountain Plaza, Westfield Mission Valley, Westfield Plaza Bonita in National City, and Grand Plaza in San Marcos. ◆

GUEST COMMENTARY BY H HENRY ENRY EN RY CHIU CHI HIU U Kiwanis Club of La Jolla

I

t’s April, it’s La Jolla, and it’s time for a halfmarathon! Sunday, April 27 will mark the 33rd running of the La Jolla Half Marathon. This annual race began in 1981 as a fun, fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla and has grown into one of the more prestigious road races in the United States. Thousands of runners from all over the country come to La Jolla on the last Sunday in April to participate. This year’s half-marathon sold out on March 30, but there are still openings for the La Jolla Shores 5K. For more details, visit lajollahalfmarathon.com Remember, the 5K is mostly downhill! The La Jolla Half Marathon has evolved into the largest fundraising event for the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla. The club gives the proceeds back to the community in the form of scholarships, grants to schools, support for veterans programs, and supplementary funding for Meals-on-Wheels, just to name a few. It is through these activities that the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla embraces and acts upon the tenants of community, family and fellowship. All this is made possible by you, our generous neighbors in La Jolla, and we thank you! As with all public sports events, the half-

Thousands of runners follow the La Jolla Half Marathon course in 2013. It leads off from Del Mar Fairgrounds down Coast Boulevard through North Torrey Pines Park Road, North Torrey Pines Road and finishes at La Jolla Cove. FILE marathon will bring a certain level of inconvenience to the community. On the morning of April 27, some streets will be closed from 5 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. We do appreciate all the help and understanding afforded us by our neighbors. This year, we will feature some rather interesting vendors and the traditional beer garden at the finish area (Ellen Browning Scripps Park). Please come out and enjoy the day with us, have a shaved ice (Ice Blast) or have a specialty Mexican-style lunch (Del Real

Foods) or just join the happy runners for a drink in the beer garden. Also, membership in the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla is open to anyone with a desire to help the community. We are a non-denominational, non-sectarian service organization with the mission to serve the children of the world. Please contact me for more information about the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla or to arrange a visit to our weekly meeting. Lunch is on me! Call (858) 454-1239 or e-mail henry@ljpb.biz ◆

Expanding E di h horizons: i Harbor seals on the move

T

his photo (at left) is proof that seals can survive outside the La Jolla Children’s Pool. It was taken Friday morning (April 18) a quarter mile north of Scripps Pier! Bill Allen LA JOLLA

Is a sea lion trainer really necessary at La Jolla Cove? A sea lion trainer? Really? $30,000? Is this for real?

(See story, page A4) The question I would ask is what rock is the trainer going to move the seal lions to — one in Bird Rock or Del Mar? I would suggest two hours south down the coast where there is food and no people. Or, better yet, for free, we could get the lifeguards out on a boat using ocean water to spray down the rocks two times a week and I’m sure the seal lions and birds will get the message and move themselves, and then we can put in some stairs, let the public return to the cliffs and all will be well in La Jolla. I also believe at some point the seals at Children’s Pool will need to be moved out of that man-made pool and on to a much larger natural beach. There are now way too many of them, packed in too tight (not a healthy situation for them). The pool was made for people, not seals, so that may be the problem. Melinda Merryweather LA JOLLA

A fight for the ages

N

o one dismisses the health threat of cancer. The disease, in its myriad forms (hundreds and counting), kills almost 575,000 Americans annually, reports the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And yet sometimes, I think, the enormity of cancer’s threat is not fully realized. Heart disease is currently the nation’s No. 1 killer: Almost 600,000 American deaths annually. But drawn on a graph, the lines representing the mortality rates of cancer and heart disease are converging. As George Johnson recently noted in his excellent New York Times essay titled “Why Everyone Seems to Have Cancer,” cancer is on the verge of becoming the No. 1 cause of death. In San Diego, that’s already happened. To be sure, there have been distinct and significant advances in the treatment and prevention of both killers. It’s just that there have been comparatively more in the case of heart disease. Profound improvements in lifestyles and behavior (diet, exercise, no smoking), for example, combined with new drugs, devices and surgeries mean the average American today is much less likely to die of heart disease than just a generation ago. The same cannot be said of cancer. Progress has been decidedly more gradual. Only a handful of cancers, primarily those of childhood, have been dramatically tamed. All human diseases

are complicated, but none more so than cancer. Confounding this fact even further, cancer is a disease of aging — and of living. We are all in a constant state of flux, with cells continuously dividing and copying DNA to produce replacement cells, over and over and over throughout our lives. Errors or mutations inevitably occur. They are, as Johnson notes, “the engines of evolution.” Sometimes these mutations are benign and transient. Sometimes, they are beneficial and change a species for the better. Sometimes, they produce cancer. Our bodies have evolved marvelous ways to identify and fix most of these glitches, but not all. And as we age, mutations accumulate and some consequently result in cancer. Indeed, as Trey Ideker, Ph.D., leader of the cancer genomes and networks program at Moores Cancer Center, and colleagues recently noted in published research: Cancer is a kind of accelerated aging. Tumor cells divide and grow with rapid abandon, wreaking havoc and eventually overwhelming our aging and increasingly less robust system of defenses. Live long enough, it’s said, and everyone dies of cancer. The war against cancer is a slog. Understanding its mysteries, distinct for each type in each patient, is hard work. It demands novel and evolving ways of

I noted with interest the letter (April 10) from retired Justice Howard Wiener criticizing the computation of the conviction rate of District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis. It should first be noted that Wiener’s entire career has been spent on the “civil” or business side of the law, so his comments on the field of the practice of criminal law should be taken with a few grains of salt. He quotes the fact that in the 15,567 convictions obtained from the filing of 16,406 cases (a 94 percent ratio), some were misdemeanors rather than felonies. If we

adopt his assumption that every case filed in the year he cites was in fact completed, that means just 839 (only 5 percent) resulted in an acquittal or “not guilty” finding. I’d call that an outstanding record. If we look at Wiener’s field of civil cases, any time an attorney wins a judgment for his client that’s a “win” — you don’t look at the size of the judgment or quibble about whether or not he or she won everything the client was seeking. Why would you do that in criminal cases? Justice Wiener also suggests that DAs should be subject to term limits in their service. I served as a Deputy DA under two different DAs who each served with distinction for 24 years — James Don Keller (1947-1971) and Edwin L. Miller Jr. (1971-1995). They were both responsible for great reforms and innovations in the administration of justice in this county.

leukemia and pancreatic cancer. The second type of teamwork involves sharing unique, expensive equipment and core facilities — the next-generation devices and technologies that make it possible to probe the deeper mysteries of cancer. One such effort involves single cell genomics — the ability to identify differences between individual cells in a seemingly homogeneous population. In other words, to perhaps find and target a solitary cancer cell hiding among many healthy neighbors. This kind of work, which is being done by UCSD scientists like Gene Yeo, Ph.D., an assistant professor of cellular and molecular medicine, often means extending and developing resources beyond those of academia. It means creating public-private partnerships with drug and biotech companies that share goals and aspirations. Recently, the World Health Organization projected that new cancer cases would skyrocket globally from an estimated 14 million annually in 2013 to 22 million each year by 2034. Cancer deaths worldwide would rise from 8.2 million annually to 13 million each year. These are gloomy numbers, but they are not inevitable. We can — and must — do better. I believe we are — and will — do better through efforts like SCRM. It represents a real and legitimately new way to fight cancer. We won’t win the war anytime soon, but I think we’ll all live long enough to see some major victories. ◆

thinking and creative, changeable approaches in science. One example can be seen in the ongoing work at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine (SCRM), an unprecedented collaboration of five leading scientific institutions on the Mesa: La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, The Scripps Research Institute and UC San Diego (of which Moores Cancer Center is part). The mission of SCRM is to advance stem cell research. It does so through two different types of teamwork that, outside of San Diego, are often unheard of, but are critical to catalyze major advances in cancer research and care. First, SCRM literally brings together stem cell scientists from different disciplines and institutions. They share the same building and vision, leading to “out of the box” approaches to transforming cancer care. Examples abound: Catriona Jamieson, M.D., Ph.D., an associate professor of medicine in the School of Medicine, who co-leads the hematologic malignancies program at Moores Cancer Center, studies and treats blood diseases, works with Larry Goldstein, Ph.D., director of the UCSD Stem Cell Program, on different forms of leukemia. Both collaborate with John Reed, M.D., Ph.D., the former chief executive of Sanford-Burnham Medical Institute. Similarly, Maike Sander, M.D., a professor and pancreatic developmental biologist at UCSD is collaborating with Tannishtha Reya, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Moores Cancer Center who is investigating how stem cells determine their fate — a decision that has profound implications for

SPORTS BOYS LACROSSE: La Jolla High School Vikings

Max Scott walks on, picks up goalie skills BY ED PIPER Max Scott walked on to the lacrosse field at La Jolla High School having never played the stick-and-net sport popular in the East but gaining in prominence here. That’s because Coach Tom Duerr texted him a message, “If you ever want to try it, come on by.� So Scott, a junior, took up Duerr’s challenge this spring. The season had already started. First, Scott tried his hand at playing short-stick defensive midfielder, or “middie.� But the Vikings, young and inexperienced, needed a goalie. “My first game was against Country Day,� remembers Scott, now a veteran of eight games in goal. “I had never even held a goalie stick before then.� Though the team has yet to win a game, Scott continues to apply himself to become more effective. “Since then, I’ve been working hard on learning the techniques and strategies to make myself better. I’ve learned a lot about catching and throwing with a stick, mainly. Also, I had no idea of the rules of strategy of how lacrosse works until a few games into the season.� Coach Duerr appreciates his new goalie’s efforts and willingness to learn under fire. “Max has held an unbelievable attitude this season,� said Duerr. “He intended to play midfield, but as a

previous catcher in baseball, we saw him more fit for the goalie position.� Now that he has clocked many minutes in the net, Scott has goals for specific areas he wants to improve in: “I want

to be better at clearing the ball after a save, and I want to be able to stop bounce shots better.� La Jolla played and tied Mira Mesa even in the first half at home April 11. But then the Vikings let the Marauders build a four-goal lead. In the last 1:30, La Jolla came back to tie. But the Marauders slipped in the winning goal with less than one second left on the clock to win 9-8. It had to be a little discouraging, but the game also showed the red-and-black that they can keep a solid team close. Said midfielder Connor Walton, “Coach Duerr drills into us that we are a family. Every time we break out of the huddle, we say ‘family’.� Blake Shores, a long-stick midfielder and captain of the defense, identified an area in which the team has grown: “I would say that we have improved with our communication on the field. This allows us to run plays and switch as a unit, instead of being confused by not talking.� He and Walton agreed that the Vikings “need to improve on putting a full game together. We have put some amazing quarters together, but when we have one bad

BOYS AND GIRLS SWIMMING: La Jolla High School Vikings

Jorge Jimenez now like a fish in water BY ED PIPER La Jolla High School swim sprinter Jorge Jimenez talks about the rush during the 50- and 100-yard freestyle races: “I love the adrenaline that goes through me in such a short amount of time. I enjoy doing the other strokes, as well, but I feel that I excel specifically in those sprint events.” Jimenez, a senior captain and four-year member of the Vikings swim team, said Coach Tom Atwell’s workouts push team members close to the edge of their endurance: “His sets vary from easy to extremely difficult — to the point where people wish they hadn’t eaten lunch. We do dry-land exercises — push-ups, crunches, planks — a few times a week, which helps strengthen our swimming in so many different ways.” The goal? Mastery. “He doesn’t believe in excuses, as anyone can reach their goal if they put their mind and dedication to it.” Jimenez, who has reached the CIF Finals

in past seasons as a result of Atwell’s demanding training, swam the 50-yard freestyle in 23 seconds and the 100-yard freestyle in 50 seconds in a recent dual meet against fellow league power Cathedral Catholic High, placing second and third, respectively, Atwell singled his captain out for great swims. Jimenez also helped lead the Viking 4x50-yard freestyle relay team to a first. The meet came down to the 4x100-yard relay. La Jolla got out-touched by two-tenths of a second at the end, the first Viking boys dual meet loss in more than five years. “We want to go through the rest of the dual meets successfully, and prepare for City Conference and CIF’s. La Jolla has a nine-year streak of winning City Conference. We are dedicated to help LJHS win its 10th year in a row,” said Jimenez. Other swimmers who stood out at the

quarter it kills us for the rest of the game,” Shores said. In the Mira Mesa game, he cited a bad third quarter as a reason La Jolla fell into a hole that they had a hard time digging themselves out of. Brandon Richmond, a midfielder and captain of the offense, spoke about how team members encourage one another to keep their heads up despite the setbacks early in the season: “We keep a positive attitude by working really hard at practice and working on constantly improving, looking forward to our first win.” Duerr echoed his captain’s sentiments: “Our players continue to participate in practice with the same amount of enthusiasm and effort as they did their last.” Jonathan Leyva (18) of La Jolla defends He identified the key role Richmond and against Mira Mesa’s Jed Klein (15) in Shores fill in the coaches-players action at Gene Edwards Stadium.

FROM LA JOLLA HIGH SWIMMING, A25 home meet against Cathedral included senior captain Zach Wallace, who won the 200-yard intermediate medley and the 100-yard butterfly. Senior Westin Waldburger excelled in the freestyle sprints. Sophomores Alex Tete and Paul Hedlin, as well as freshmen Parker Seale and Dominick Wallace, were also spotlighted by their coach. On the girls team, senior captain Cienna Miesfeld (in the breaststroke) and sophomore Sophia Eliopulos (in the backstroke) put out great efforts. “I have been working on improving my stroke technique and learning how to be more efficient in the water,” Eliopulos said. About team preparedness, she added, “Keeping loose can be hard, but we do our best by keeping our spirits up and, most importantly, trying to have fun. Even though swimming is an individual sport, we are a very unified team. We do our best to cheer on our teammates during racing, and help each other out. Relays bring out the team aspect in swimming, because you start to think about the race as a cumulative time, rather than just your own.” Addison Seale and Ciara Franke are other key members of the girls’ team. Jackie Real placed first in diving versus Cathedral and competed in the CIF Finals at Mesa College last year. “Jackie is a really good diver,” said Scarlett Hallahan, who swam well in the

200-yard freestyle. “She’s a key person to have, because in close meets her scores usually put us over the edge to win the meet.” Parker Seale swam well in the 100-yard breaststroke: “My main drive for that event was when I saw the guy who was swimming (Cathedral’s) 100-yard breaststroke who had been a competitor of mine since I was about 11 years old (Benjamin Bleichwel). As soon as I saw that I was racing against him, I knew it was going to be a good race, and all I was thinking going into it was that I had to win, no matter what.” Seale took first in 1:04.16. He continued, “With the loss to Cathedral, I feel like it has given us more of a drive to become a better team. We are all talking about how we know that we have the potential to get the Western League title for our 10th time.” Hallahan commented, “This year I’m mostly trying to concentrate on improving my stroke to get all personal best times by the end of the season. It’s surreal that this is the last high school sports season I’ll ever have, so I’m really trying to finish strong but also enjoy the company of my coaches and teammates for one final season.” Jimenez revealed that he took up swimming as an 8-year-old to overcome his fear of water. “My mom put me in swim classes,” he said. At 12, he was a Junior Olympic champion. Besides being in the CIF Finals, he is a YMCA recordholder. ◆

La Jolla Youth Baseball stars ‘up’ home run hits BY TOM MURPHY La Jolla Youth Baseball

There must be something in the water, or maybe the kids are eating their Wheaties … all we know is more home runs were hit after spring break in the La Jolla Youth Baseball (LJYB) than were hit in the first month of the season. LJYB experienced a power surge with eight homers including Jackson Stratton’s grand slam in Mustang and Matt Stone’s two 2-run blasts in Bronco. Spence Carswell hit his first round-trip in Mustang. Austin Schroeder, Johnny Meyerott, Calvin Hyytinen and Dirk Germon posted their “taters” on “Homer’s Alley” in Bronco, as did Pony’s Nate Smolinski, Cary Perket and Jared Littlefield. Home runs are only part of the game, but the young players love to celebrate when their teammate hits one over the fence and no smile is bigger than the one on the face of the kid who crosses home plate after hitting his first HR. For the weeks leading up to playoffs, teams are stepping up their games and tightening their rosters. More pitchers are

In Bronco, only one game separates the four La Jolla teams, and Performance Titanium Group has the best record among them.

impoverished cultures in India, Myamar, Peru, Russia and rural China, although there are a few from American backyards. Prepare to be dazzled by a mix of travel photography, visual anthropology and photojournalism that represents the work of 14 local photographers. La Jolla can boast some unusually fine “shooters,” most of whom are self taught, and who have brought back illuminating images from around the world.

It’s a very timely show, speaking to the theme of cultural diversity and the new waves of immigration occurring around the world. Everywhere, people are faced with the challenge of integrating the exotic and the alien into their once traditional worlds. Perhaps through viewing “The Child,” we can learn to better appreciate the “differences” we now see all around us.

Quartet to perform concert for Rotary Club of La Jolla BY ASHLEY MACKIN he Alison Brown Quartet will play a special concert to raise funds for the Rotary Club of La Jolla, 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 2 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. Though Brown, a Grammy-winning (and four-time Grammy-nominated) banjoist has a solid love of bluegrass, she said those who attend the show will hear a little something extra. “What we do as a quartet can’t really be called ‘bluegrass,’ ” Brown said. “It has a foot in bluegrass, a foot in jazz, and we dabble in Celtic music, too … but the instrumentation of the group is more like a jazz trio — a piano, a bass and drums,” and of course, the banjo. She added that growing up in Southern California (and going to La Jolla High School), she was exposed to different kinds of music, so having the different styles integrated into her songs seemed a natural fit. Brown said the banjo is an instrument that “caught my ear and my imagination” as a youth, and for those learning the banjo, the first music they typically learn

Banjoist and La Jolla High School graduate Alison Brown will perform at the Athenaeum May 2 in a benefit concert for the La Jolla Rotary. COURTESY performed with Krauss for several years, and on Krauss’s Grammy-winning album “I’ve Got That Old Feeling,” before winning her own Grammy for best country instrumental performance for a track off her album “Fair Weather” in 2001.

But with two parents in the La Jolla Rotary Club — John and Barbara Brown — and the venue for her upcoming show, Brown said she couldn’t wait to come back home. “I love the Athenaeum. I love the whole vibe of that part of downtown La Jolla, so I’m really looking forward to playing there,” she said. The Rotarians are excited, too. Rotary Club of La Jolla President Pat Stouffer said of Brown, “She is a well-rounded musician and I am in awe of her talent.” He said she played a concert for the Rotary Club in 2000, the year her father was club president, and it was a “fantastic evening.” Funds raised from the event will help the Rotary Club complete its three avenues of service — to youth, community and the world. On April 26, the Club will work with La Jolla High School students to landscape an area of the campus in need of “sprucing up.” That same day, Rotary members will also travel to Tijuana, Mexico to build a house for a family in need. ◆ ■ IF YOU GO: Concert tickets start at $40 through tinyurl.com/BrownConcertTickets

to play is bluegrass. She was able to explore her new love as a member of the San Diego Bluegrass Club (now the San Diego Bluegrass Society). “It was surprising to me when I first discovered it, but there is a pretty good bluegrass scene in Southern California,” she said. Though the passion was there, she said, “I always thought my musical interests would just be a hobby for me, I didn’t really imagine that I would become a professional banjo player. I had my sights set on going to Harvard to become a lawyer or doctor.” She did go to Harvard for undergraduate studies and got a Master’s in Business Administration from UCLA. But while working as an investment banker in the late 1980s, she took a break from working full time and reconnected with the banjo. It just so happened that at the time, singer Alison Krauss — who is credited with helping renew interest in bluegrass through her contribution to soundtracks for films such as “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” — needed a banjoist for her group Alison Krauss and Union Station.

Café La Rue brings a new charm to La Valencia Hotel BY KELLEY CARLSON n New Year’s Eve 2013, La Valencia Hotel celebrated more than the start of a new year. The date marked the opening of its renovated Café La Rue, once a part of the iconic Whaling Bar & Grill. There are no longer black-cushioned booths, brick-red walls and mahogany paneling — that look has given way to a space that’s bright and airy, with colorful floors and walnut accents. But the changes extend beyond the aesthetics. Nearly the entire menu is new, and while still meat-centric, preparation is now more European rather than classic American. Most of the ingredients are obtained locally and meats are cured inhouse, from the bacon and Andouille sausage to the chorizo. “We go out of our way to find the best products,” Executive Chef Daniel Barron said. The offerings are light in the mornings

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:

Café La Rue’s Mussels (continental pastries made in-house and Illy coffee) until 11 a.m., when an assortment of appetizers and entrees await. One of Café La Rue’s most touted items is on the starter menu: the Brussels Sprouts, a sweet-and-salty delight enhanced with bits of house-made

pancetta and cashews, balsamic and a drizzle of Parmesan cream. Another is the Pork Belly boutine, which derives its mature flavor from soaking in its fat for a week. Other starters include the House Cured Guanciale Flatbread, Mediterranean Spreads Platter and the Mussels. There are sandwiches or heavier “Main Event” courses for entrees. Consider the Smoked Cheddar Bratwurst, a sausage in a roll that’s blanketed in melted IPA beer cheese with rings of roasted red peppers and onions and griddled jalapenos; or the La Rue Burger — with Dijon aioli, caramelized onion and mushroom gruyere — which is adored by the staff. Another “wow” dish is the Lamb Shank Pot Pie, in which a bone sticks out of the top of a flaky butter pastry crust. Those who delve into it are rewarded with forkfuls of tender meat — which has cooked for 18 hours — that slides off the bone, along

with gravy and vegetables. Rich desserts include the Espresso Pot de Crème, a cup of espresso crème that’s topped by a cloud of vanilla Chantilly, with a delicate, lightly sugared shortbread cookie on the side. For a “spiked” treat, there’s “The Whaler,” a carryover from the Whaling Bar that’s a concoction of Kahlua, crème de cacao and brandy ice cream akin to an adult milkshake Café La Rue also has two happy hours — aka “The Appointment” — six days a week. Among the $6 bites is a skillet of mushrooms and mozzarella on a bed of polenta. The specialty cocktails, named for La Jolla’s streets, are $9; classic cocktails are $7. One bartender specialty not on the menu is the Old Fashioned, a combination of bitters, rye whiskey and simple syrup garnished with a cherry and a twist of orange rind. ◆

With the Filmatic Festival, we’re providing an arena for people to share the joy of participating in a variety of immersive, multi-sensory, collective experiences.” Webb mentioned the huge decline in movie-theater attendance, with people preferring to watch films on their own home-

screens, phones or tablets. “They’re not content to sit passively in theaters anymore when so much of modern life and technology revolves around the ability to interact and create in real time,” she noted.

Michael Trigilio’s ‘T2ERU’ will be on view in NexCave, Virtual World No. 2. Even if you’re not a total techie, she promises you’ll find plenty of entertaining and thought-provoking possibilities at the festival, where a panel of local movie mavens, including Webb, San Diego Asian Film Festival artistic director Brian Hu, filmmaker Neil Kendricks and video artist Trish Stone, have assembled a broad range of events. One of the highlights will certainly be David Michalek‘s “Portraits in Dramatic Time,” featuring 45 super-short scenes performed by 100 expert actors, including Hollywood stars and lesser-known artists from different theatrical traditions. “The scenes, only 10 seconds long, were filmed at high speed, and then slowed down 100 times slower than real life, so that each 10-second scene becomes a 10-minute one,” the New York-based writer-director explained. The slowness allows viewers to use their imaginations to create their own stories out of what they see. “It’s like meditation,” said Michalek, who teaches courses with titles like “Mysteries of Art and Beauty” at Yale. “Portraits,” commissioned by Lincoln Center in 2011 to celebrate the opening of its new plaza, is a refreshing antidote to the attention-deficit-disorderly rush of our daily lives.

In one, the granddaughter is on a merry-go-round and in the other, she plays “mommy,” dressed in 1940s-style clothing. Sanchez’s fourth photograph features four boys looking out the door of their schoolroom in the high Andes of Peru. “Children are the most important resource we have,” Sanchez reflected. “It is very important to pay attention to them because they are our future. My

photographs reveal how parents from different cultures all show their cultural pride by how they dress and care for their children.” Sally Bucko said she is passionate about photographing indigenous peoples. She has three images in the show taken in Myamar (formerly Burma). One depicts three young Theravada Buddhist novices playing with their umbrellas. Another is of three children lying entwined on a large pile of cabbage heads in a marketplace. The third is of young monks chanting

prayers in a monastery. Bucko also presents an image of four Chinese girls marching down a rain soaked dirt road in galoshes on their way to serenade some tourists. Each of the little ones’ faces is a joy to ponder. Kelley Oberg has the most innovative image in the show. It is of a young girl dancing over the rocks at La Jolla Cove. Oberg digitally painted over the photograph (pixel by pixel) and then printed it on unframed metal to create a highly enhanced image. Oberg has a

Willis Allen Real Estate marks 100th year with Midway gala

W

illis Allen Real Estate recently reached the milestone of 100 years of continuous business in San Diego County. To celebrate the momentous occasion, the company hosted a party on the flight deck of the USS Midway, April 18. The soiree was in appreciation of its 240 agents and staff, “without who the company would just be a building and the company’s ideals would just be words,” Willis Allen stated in a press release. The USS Midway has special meaning to Willis Allen Real Estate President/Owner Andrew E. Nelson. Nelson had the honor of being a Naval officer and aviator flying in the back seat of the F-4 Phantom during the Vietnam War — the same plane that is currently parked on the flight deck of the USS Midway. Nelson was originally based at Miramar, and when deployed, he flew off the Midway’s sister ship, the USS Coral Sea. Nelson flew about 150 combat missions in two different fighter squadrons, 1967-1972. Willis Allen Real Estate was among the first to use the Internet to market listings and connect with clients and the network of agents, buyers and sellers. They are founding members of international affiliations that have secured high-end listings and delivered international buyers to San Diego. Willis Allen continues to be a family owned, San Diego-specific real estate firm, but with international reach. Per agent production is among the highest in the nation. ◆

BY ASHLEY MACKIN The Velasquez sisters — Alexis and Iberia — have a passion for fashion. So much so that 14-yearold The Bishop’s School student Iberia and 23-year-old La Jolla Country Day School grad Alexis have already launched an online T-shirt company, Emortal. The tees — there are four now, and they plan to expand their offerings — are inspired by pop culture. Iberia said in her free time she peruses Instagram and the blog site Tumblr for fashion ideas and trend spotting, along with flipping through magazines. Alexis’ favorite shirt reads: “Célfie” referencing the trend of taking a “selfie” — a photo of yourself. After posting a picture of a model in the shirt on Instagram, Alexis said the band The ChainSmokers (whose song “Selfie” topped the Billboard dance chart in late March), liked the photo. For Iberia, her favorite shirt reads: “Love Lockdown,” a reference to

In the short time they’ve been working to launch the brand Emortal, the sisters say they have learned a lot about business — including how to handle conflicting ideas. “We have a nine-year gap between us … so we do sometimes clash and debate

whether to put something on the shirts … but in the end, we think about what would be best for the brand,” Alexis said. Iberia added that the challenge lies in looking ahead to what the next fashion trend might be. In addition to adding shirt designs when inspiration — or the latest big thing — strikes, Iberia said they’d like to develop a men’s line and clothes for children. But,

Invisalign: A Current & Innovative Approach to Straightening Teeth How many times have you said these words to yourself: “If I knew then what I know now …”? Perhaps you wouldn’t have slathered yourself in baby oil and baked in the sun for hours. Maybe you would have taken school more seriously. Perhaps you would have listened to your dentist when he told you to wear your retainer, because now, as an adult, your teeth have relapsed. It’s not only foregoing the retainer that leads to crooked teeth in adults; commonly it’s a gradual change in tooth alignment that occurs as your teeth shift and become crowded. The good news is that if you are interested in reclaiming that confident, beautiful smile, you

no longer have to suffer through years of wearing uncomfortable, awkward metal braces. Instead, there is the simplicity, comfort, and flexibility of Invisalign! Invisalign is an orthodontic method which uses nearly invisible, removable teeth aligners as an alternative to metal braces. Invisalign can correct the same orthodontic issues as braces, such as overbites, underbites, gapping, uneven spacing, deep bites, open bites, and one of the most common tooth alignment issues faced by adults: crowding. In addition to the esthetic concerns of crowding, over time misaligned teeth can lead to further dental issues. For example, as food, plaque, and tarter get caught in the crevices between crooked teeth, home care becomes more difficult. This can increase the risk of gum disease and dental decay. It also tends to create areas of unwanted wear and unattractive chipping of teeth. Wearing smooth, comfortable, clear Invisalign trays to correct crowding means you don’t have to endure clunky, embarrassing, metal brackets, and you can maintain your normal eating habits with minimal interference in your daily life.

At our office, we highly recommend Invisalign to our adult and teenage patients. Many of our patients have told us that making the choice to straighten their teeth has affected not only their appearance, but has improved their lifestyle and how they feel about themselves both in business and social situations. The basic treatment sequence is as follows: 1.) Set up an Invisalign consultation at our office We will analyze and discuss the details of your teeth, smile, and bite, and will assess if you are a good candidate for Invisalign. 2.) Create a 3-D representation of your teeth After your consult appointment, we will take impressions and photos of your teeth and smile, and outline a precise treatment plan for your particular needs. Align Technologies will generate a computer simulation of your teeth for you to easily visualize how they will move throughout each step of your treatment. 3.) Begin your treatment with your custom aligners A series of clear, BPA-free, plastic aligners will be made specifically for you based on your

individual treatment plan. As you wear your aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually move into place. 4.) Switch your aligners out every 2 weeks Every two weeks, you will start wearing a new set of aligners. Because Invisalign is removable, it enables our patients to brush and floss normally during treatment, which allows them to maintain their overall oral health. Periodically, you will visit our office for us to monitor your progress and watch as your teeth move closer to your desired smile. 5.) Enjoy your new smile! Invisalign has an extraordinarily high patient satisfaction rate of 96 percent! We want our patients to smile, and, because Invisalign is nearly invisible, our patients aren’t afraid to smile during treatment—and they definitely can’t wait to show off their smiles once the treatment is complete. If you are interested in joining the 2 million other Invisalign patients who are loving their smiles, please visit http://JoeTheDentist.com or call us at 858-459-6224 to schedule a complimentary consultation.
