Parks & Beaches wants city action at Cove by May 30

Situation: Sea Lions

By Ashley Mackin a Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJPB) advisory group has given the city until May 30 to do something about the increased sea lion presence at La Jolla Cove and the resulting problems with public access and safety. Eyeing the approaching tourist season and calling the situation “an emergency waiting to happen,” the board approved a resolution at its April 27 meeting urgently requesting the city take action. La Jolla Cove Swim Club president Dan Simonelli said the sea lion population at the Cove beach has increased over the last few years, and the sea lions have expanded their resting areas to include the staircase leading to the beach (the only pedestrian access point currently in place while construction on the new lifeguard tower is ongoing) and the deck between Scripps Park and the beach. While resting, primarily in the early morning hours, Simonelli said sea lions defecate and urinate in those areas. “Some people are nonchalant about what’s going on, but this is an emergency waiting to happen,” he said. As such, the LJPB resolution requested the city: 1) Install some form of gate mechanism or other temporary barrier on the stairway leading to/from La Jolla Cove beach to prevent sea lions moving off the beach; 2) Conduct regular cleanup of sea lion feces from the stairs, deck and walkway areas; and 3) Institute a program of morning beach inspection and sand cleaning at La Jolla Cove. Citing an example of why these actions are needed, Simonelli explained that the week prior to the LJPB meeting, a sea lion was on the deck by the benches and had “let out” (defecated) in a trail early that morning. “We were watching the sea lion as it was leaving, and it moved into a position that it blocked the stairs so those already on the beach could not get out for a few minutes,” he said.

San Diego Surf Film Festival rides into La Jolla n Films, events to feature global, sustainable themes By Pat Sherman The organizers at San Diego Surf Film Festival (SDSFF) must be doing something right, as its audience continues to swell, year after year.

Having outgrown its founding home at Bird’s Surf Shed, organizers of the fourth annual SDSFF have secured more spacious digs in La Jolla, at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s (MCASD) Sherwood Auditorium. This year’s SDSFF, to be held Thursday, May 21 through Saturday, May 23, includes a diverse lineup of feature films, documentaries

and short films (many of them U.S. and world premieres), as well as art demonstrations, an auction and a tribute to the late surf photographer and cinematographer, Sonny Miller, 7 p.m. May 21. Miller, who produced some of the most renowned surf films of the ’90s, including “Searching for Tom Curren,” passed away last summer at age 54.

“Sonny Miller is considered one of the greatest cinematographers that the surf world has ever known and a legend in the local surf community,” said SDSFF cofounder and La Jolla native Pierce Kavanagh. “He was a groundbreaking filmmaker.” Kavanagh said one of the opening night feature selections, “Strange Rumblings in See Surf Film Festival, A4

The film chronicles the trajectory of three women trying to introduce the sport of surfing to Iranian men and women — Irish surfer Easkey, Iranian snowboarder Mona and Iranian diver Shalha. Each view surfing as a way to bridge cultural and gender divides. “They thought they could get thrown in jail, that anything could happen to them,” Kavanagh said. “Basically, women over there can’t do anything, but the people actually accepted it, to the shock of the people making the

film, and it covers that really well.” Kavanagh’s wife, SDSFF co-founder Petra Kavanagh — who previewed all the films and served as the selection panel’s tie-breaker — said she favored the Saturday afternoon short film, “El Chino,” about a man whose family runs a market in Boston’s Chinatown and starts his own surfboard shaping business — in an area where there isn’t much of a surfing scene. She also favored the Friday afternoon short “Foliage,” about a group of young skateboarders who ride beneath tree boughs and overhanging bushes as if they were surfing inside the tube of a wave.

It follows a group of surfers traveling to the holy grail of surf spots, from the waters of Iceland to the tropics of Mozambique. “It’s basically a modern ‘Endless Summer,’ where these guys travel to all these exotic places around the world chasing perfect waves forever,” Kavanagh said. “Sonny’s family is going to be there, bringing a lot of the equipment that he used.

SDSFF organizers accepted submissions for three months, whittling 75 entries down to 24 to be screened during the festival. “We had a screening panel of eight people who are all involved in the surf world somehow, people from their 20s to their 50s — a pretty diverse panel,” Kavanagh said. “Narrative is king in our festival.

Their work, as well as wetsuits, clothes and other surf gear from industry sponsors, will be auctioned off during the event to raise money for SDSFF’s nonprofit beneficiary, Encinitas-based H20 Trash Patrol. The organization started with beach cleanups and now also organizes cleanups of local jetties and estuaries. “They go in with paddleboards and pull out literally tons of trash that would never be taken out of these areas,” Kavanagh said, adding that SDSFF attendees are invited to join an H20 Trash Patrol beach cleanup the morning of May 23 in Encinitas. u

City to visitors: Harassing seals illegal and can lead to citation

Children’s Pool will reopen May 16

By Pat Sherman eople will no longer be barred from accessing Children’s Pool/Casa beach when a five-month beach closure there ends, early morning, May 16. The seasonal beach closure limits humans from accessing the beach during the harbor seals’ five-month pupping season, Dec. 15May 15, when pregnant seals and their offspring are at their most vulnerable. The closure was requested by the San Diego City Council in March 2014 and approved unanimously last summer by the California Coastal Commission (CCC), which has jurisdiction over the beach. The commissioners opined that a year-round guideline rope spanning nearly the entire length of the beach wasn’t adequately deterring people from intentionally or unintentionally harassing seals. The rope, which will remain in place through the summer, has been up for several years to urge visitors to view seals from a distance that doesn’t disturb them. It includes a five-foot opening at one end to allow divers, swimmers and fishers to access the shoreline, which is legal when the closure is not in effect. City employees will remove a chain blocking access to the beach, remove

closure signs and reopen the beach as soon after sunrise May 16 as possible, city spokesperson Bill Harris said. At this point, a shared-use policy between humans and seals is back in effect. “Beach users may access the (beach and shoreline) as long as they do so without disturbing or harassing any seals that are hauled out on the beach and rocks,” Harris said, via e-mail. “Visitors are requested to remain behind the rope when on the beach to view hauled-out seals to avoid disturbing or harassing the resting animals. Disturbing or harassing marine mammals is against federal law and San Diego Municipal Code and may lead to a citation.”

Monitoring program As a condition of approving the pupping season closure, the CCC is requiring the city to closely monitor its effects and efficacy for five years, at the end of which time the permit for the closure must be renewed. Richard Belesky, the park ranger assigned to Children’s Pool since October 2011, is responsible for monitoring both the closure and year-round guideline rope — and collecting all data required by the CCC, Harris said. The monitoring consists of: 1) Periodic counts of seals hauled out onto the beach and rocks, 2) Weather conditions and tidal data, 3) The number of seal harassment incidents, and, 4) During the non-closure period, the number of people swimming in the water and the number of people behind and in front of the rope. The data is recorded on a spreadsheet and submitted to the director of the California

Coastal Commission as an attachment to the city’s annual report summarizing the results of the monitoring period. Although at press time data on the beach closure was still being compiled for submittal to the CCC, Harris said the number of births recorded during the 20142015 pupping season was 63. The first pup to survive on its own after weaning from its mother was Jan. 24, and the final birth was March 14, he said, adding that the number of births documented this season is the highest since the first birth was observed on the beach in 1999. Adrian Kwiatkowski, executive director of the Seal Conservancy of San Diego, provided numbers that were lower. He said the conservancy documented 49 births this season, nine of which were stillbirths and four of which were abandoned — for a total of 36 births. According to Seal Conservancy records dating back to 2008, the average number of surviving seal pups is 38, Kwiatkowski said.

“On total births we’re better than average over the last eight years,” he said. “The bad news is, we do have a situation with the food chain that’s impacting multiple marine mammals along the California coastline … but overall it’s very positive.” Kwiatkowski said Seal Conservancy docents were present at Children’s Pool “on a very limited basis” during the winter closure, though will return when the beach reopens. The group hosts regular tours of Children’s Pool out of Mangelsen Images of Nature Gallery to educate the public on the seals, he said. Seal Conservancy docents will be at Children’s Pool when the beach opens again May 16. “We’re going to be ramping up for the summer season,” Kwiatkowski said. “With the beach being closed five months of the year it’s changed the dynamic of what our docent program looks like down there. We’ve started recruiting new docents, so we’re in the process of defining and

redefining what we’re going to be doing down there.”

Lifeguard tower update

Harris said construction on the new lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool is scheduled to resume June 1. The tower is slated for completion by December 2015. A public and privately funded remodel and aesthetic upgrade to the walkway and common area above Children’s Pool — which could serve as a model for publicprivate partnerships in San Diego — was issued its final environmental report on March 4, the project’s landscape architect, Jim Neri said. “We are ready to submit 60 percent complete construction documents to the Public Works Department once we have been provided with clear direction from them on how to proceed,” he said, via e-mail. “The Public Works Department is developing a new process for streamlining private-public projects and the Children’s Pool walkway will be the first project that goes through it.” Harris said the contractor rebuilding the lifeguard tower will finish the walkway in front of the breakwater wall and steps leading to the beach by fall of 2015, though added “it may prove necessary to keep this portion of the walkway closed though the duration of the remaining construction.” Since the lifeguards’ temporary trailer now occupies a portion of the site, Haris said, sidewalk improvements “by any contractor” cannot begin in that area until the new lifeguard tower is completed (by year’s end), the lifeguards occupy and the new tower, and the temporary trailer is removed. u

From Sea Lions, A1 “The sea lion dragged the trail (of feces) when it moved around,” Simonelli said. “A lifeguard was coming on duty and because people were arriving for a day at the beach, they gave me a bucket and shovel to clean it up. It was definitely the grossest thing I’ve ever had to do.” Simonelli later told La Jolla Light, “The problem is over the course of the day (sea lion waste) gets covered with sand and people don’t see it and step in it, sit in it, lay in it, etc.” But perhaps more importantly, he said, the swim club’s chief concern is regarding public access and safety on the beach and in the water, and making the San Diego City Council and other community groups aware of the daily goings-on with the sea lions at the Cove. Swimmer Penny Nagel said she is one of those who has been stuck on the beach by a sea lion blocking public access. “There were a lot of them on the stairs one day that basically blocked us off; we couldn’t get them off the stairs. The lifeguards had to come and help us get off the beach and that was just one incident,” she said. “I grew up here and have lived here my entire life. I remember when it used to be exciting to see a sea lion, but now they are everywhere.” Citing a bevy of issues that go beyond the infamous Cove Odor situation, several swimmers who frequent the Cove said the influx of sea lions is a recent phenomenon. Many theorize that when the gate was opened in the rail above La Jolla Cove in December 2013, it allowed for public access to the bluffs and the new human presence

Situation: Sea Lion Timeline ■ February 2015: The city decides to decline using Butcher’s conditioning methods to control animal presence, but announces it would contract Doyle Hanan & Associates to “study and identify potential opportunities for changing the behavior or haul-out conditions of the sea lion colony now expanding along the La Jolla coastline.”

■ May 2013: Former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner signs an executive order stating the buildup of animal waste at La Jolla Cove is a threat to human health and constitutes a “public health and welfare emergency,” calling for the guano to be cleaned up. ■ June 2013: The City of San Diego begins a series of regular applications of microbial foam, attempting to “cleanse” the smell.

His father declined medical attention from lifeguards and took him to the hospital. “When the number of people is high and the number of sea lions is high, the number of incidents is going to be high,” Simonelli said. “It’s inevitable.”

The lifeguard’s take

Lt. Stropky said lifeguards have noticed more sea lions on the beach at the Cove, but will not let them impede the course of duty. “There are some challenges we haven’t had in the past. Sea lions can look like rocks and I’ve heard that sometimes people trip over them,” he said. “But if we see something causing a conflict, we solve the problem with adjustments to staffing and equipment.”

For example, with construction on a new lifeguard tower leaving only one pedestrian staircase, the lifeguards placed an additional chair at the bottom of the other set of stairs that are closed to the public (they lead to the construction site), so lifeguards have immediate access. Should the lifeguard stationed at the temporary tower see a problem, he or she can radio the groundlevel guard.

risk injury, say some swimmers who’ve witnessed such incidents. Signs posted on the bluffs remind visitors that sea lions are wild animals and people should keep their distance, similar signs are on the beach stairs. “A lot of tourists who come here don’t act very smart,” Cove swimmer Dorsey Cullen said. “They get within inches of these animals and take pictures. The sea lions move at the tourists and they generally get away, but one day someone is not going to move fast enough to get out of the way.” Cullen said he’s written a handful of letters to San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s office requesting attention to the conditions at the Cove. Nagel added she has witnessed tourists feeding sea lions, which she thinks discourages them from going out to sea to hunt. Lifeguard Lt. Rich Stropky said tourists taking “selfie” photos with sea lions has gained popularity, and lifeguards are adapting by focusing on education. “Tourists visit without understanding what they can and cannot do, so our lifeguards are spending more time now teaching people about sea lions and making sure they keep a good distance so they aren’t disturbing them and causing issues,” he said. Simonelli said the docile appearance of sea lions is often deceptive to visitors. “Too many people get too close,” he said. “As soon as you startle the sea lions or they get uncomfortable, they can whip around quickly and snap or bark. They’re just giving a warning, but that’s a sign that people are getting too close.” On March 22, a 5-year-old boy was bit in

“Once the lifeguards get on the beach, the conditions are just like on any crowded beach; it’s an obstacle course they have to adapt to. By no means are sea lions impeding our job as lifeguards to watch the water and provide safety,” Stropky said.

Jolla Cove. Getting

“There are more sea lions than ever and it seems like they’ve acclimated to this area and are really comfortable with human interaction,” observed Steve Dillard, whose daughter trains in La Jolla Cove for the Catalina Channel relay race. Monica L. DeAngelis, NOAA Fisheries West Coast Region Marine Mammal Biologist, explained that compared to other sea lions and seals, California sea lions are not as skittish and would not be as easily “scared” by human presence. However, younger sea lions may be more sensitive to human presence than older ones. She described sea lions as “extremely gregarious and social animals. When they aren’t foraging they can be observed resting or sleeping on land or in the water.” However, during the breeding season months of May through July, DeAngelis said male sea lions will be territorial, even juveniles. “We also have a situation with sick young animals this year and their behavior is even more unpredictable because of their (starving) condition. The public needs to remember these are wild animals and their behavior is unpredictable, so best to stay at a safe distance.”

Should the city decline to act Having volunteered with several events at

the Cove, swimmer Bill Robbins said his concern is with the future of annual events, such as the San Diego Triathlon Challenge. This event raises about a million dollars for the Challenged Athletes Foundation and its swimming component is held at the Cove. “What do we do when there are sea lions all over the beach and we have the Triathlon? We’ll have hundreds of people here of all ages who aren’t familiar with sea lions and we don’t have any authority to get the sea lions out of the way,” Robbins said. “There has to come a time when people take priority over the sea lions.” At the La Jolla Parks & Beaches April 27

meeting, member Debbie Beacham said the board should look at ways to utilize Marine Mammal Protection Act section 109(h) which grants a federal, state or local government official or employee or designated person the authority to humanely harass a marine mammal if it is for the protection or welfare of the mammal, the protection of the public health and welfare, or the nonlethal removal of nuisance animals. “We can analyze 109(h), which allows a community to hire someone to ‘harass’ the animals and shoo them away,” she said. “The city can give permission.”

Should the sea lion population continue to expand at La Jolla Cove, swimmer Dillard said he fears the city might deem the area too dangerous for people and close the beach completely. “My concern is that we won’t be able to use this beach for swimming if conditions stay the way they are. I believe we are heading in a direction where what happened at Children’s Pool will happen here,” Dillard said, referencing the fivemonth closure there. The comment left Simonelli to press the issue, “What is the city going to do about this?” u

Cottage owners want city to repair public stairway The owners of these 1920s cottages say the city has neglected the condition of this heavily trafficed pedestrian throughway from Prospect Street to Coast Boulevard South, known as Ocean Lane. Liza and Paul Breuninger say they have seen people trip while traversing the public stairway.

TARNISHING OUR JEWEL By Pat Sherman hile many people are familiar with the public stairway adjacent La Valencia Hotel that dips from Prospect Street to the La Jolla Cove, a lesser known jewel of a staircase at the other end of Prospect Street (adjacent Smashburger) has fallen into a tarnished state, say a couple who reside in one of four 1920s cottages along the public stairway, named Ocean Lane. Liza and Paul Breuninger say they have been urging the city to repair and maintain the cracked steps descending from Prospect Street to Coast Boulevard South for several years, though to date only minor patchwork has been completed — in 2013. The couple says the steps are also stained from grease leaking out of a nearby restaurant, and littered with trash and cigarette butts from Prospect Street employees and tourists. “Progressively the steps have been deteriorating,” said Liza Breuninger, who is president of the cottage owners’ homeowner association. “The city did come out, but they did the minimal of work. It’s worse now than it was before.” Paul Breuninger added he feels “Ocean Lane gets shortchanged when it comes to city funding for this heavily trafficked (staircase). Ocean Lane is in constant use by the tens of thousands of tourists each year — as evidenced by all the trash, cigarette butts and stains from discarded foods and

Frontline Cancer SCOTT M. LIPPMAN, M.D.

Fighting liver cancer, Part 1

mong the myriad of malignancies that plague us, liver cancer doesn’t generally register. It’s not among the top 10 cancers in the United States. It doesn’t get the same media attention as prostate, breast or lung cancers that, along with colon and pancreas, constitute the nation’s deadliest cancers. But liver cancer — or more precisely, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) — is the second most common cause of cancer death in the world, killing roughly 750,000 people each year. Only lung cancer kills more. HCC is less common in the U.S., but its incidence and mortality rates are rising. “If things continue the way they are, liver cancer may eventually become the dominant form of cancer death in this country,” said Claude Sirlin, MD, a professor of radiology at UC San Diego School of Medicine and co-leader of the Moores Cancer Center Imaging Program. The news is even bleaker for San Diegans because HCC prevalence here is measurably higher than the national average. Cancer is always a tough foe, but beating

HCC is a particularly tough fight. To understand why requires a brief biology lesson. HCC usually arises in patients with pre-existing cirrhosis, a condition in which the liver is scarred by years or even decades of inflammation and injury. A cirrhotic liver can become a sort of cancer factory — the chronic inflammation and fibrosis that leads to cirrhosis also predisposes liver cells to develop genetic mutations and other changes that can lead to cancer. Patients with both cirrhosis and HCC face a terrifying reality: cancer treatments can worsen the cirrhosis; cirrhosis treatments can worsen the cancer. Currently, the primary cause of HCC is hepatitis B and C virus infections that occurred decades ago. In the 1970s and 1980s, millions of Americans unknowingly contracted hepatitis C through contaminated blood transfusions. Since 1990, there have been reliable blood tests to help prevent transfusion-acquired disease. This cause of HCC will eventually subside, assisted by emerging treatments for hepatitis B and C. The hepatitis B

vaccination has already made a dramatic impact on HCC prevention worldwide. No vaccine is currently available for hepatitis C, but several are under development. (Unlike hepatitis B and C, a hepatitis A infection does not cause chronic liver disease and is rarely fatal.) But other more problematic factors have emerged: obesity and diabetes. It is now known that obesity and diabetes can lead to HCC, even in the absence of viral hepatitis and other factors that can injure the liver, such as excessive alcohol consumption. Obesity is associated with excessive fat within liver cells (sometimes called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD). If the fatty liver becomes inflamed, it results in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) which can progress to cirrhosis and, finally, liver cancer. NASH is the second leading causal factor for liver transplants in the U.S. An estimated 150 million Americans are obese. One hundred million of them have NAFLD. Up to 20 million may have NASH. Of those patients with NASH, 5 million people are projected to develop cirrhosis over a 30-year period and of them, 2 to 3 percent will develop HCC each year. Diabetes afflicts almost 30 million Americans, or roughly 9 percent of the population. Another 27 million Americans may have undiagnosed diabetes. When you have diabetes, you are less sensitive to

insulin, the hormone that regulates blood glucose levels. The body’s typical response to that problem is to produce more insulin, but insulin, it turns out, is a kind of fertilizer for progressive fibrogenesis in the liver hat may in turn lead to HCC. There’s also a genetic component to HCC. A family history significantly increases the risk in first-degree relatives, who necessarily require greater screening. And some demographic groups, such as Mexican-Americans, Pacific-Islanders and Asian-Americans, are disproportionately affected by the disease. “It’s a major concern,” says Rohit Loomba, MD, associate professor of medicine and founding director of the NAFLD Translational Research Unit at UC San Diego Medical Center-Hillcrest. “Liver cancer targets the minorities in the United States, particularly the men.” California has among the highest incidence of HCC in the U.S., and NASH is significantly more prevalent in Hispanics than non-Hispanic Whites in San Diego County. •May 28: Basic and clinical research offer new tools — and hope. u — Scott M.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS La Jolla man headed to prison for investment scheme

n May 4, La Jolla resident James Yiu Lee was sentenced to 78 months in prison for fraud arising from the loss of clients’ funds through online trading. According to the FBI, Lee solicited clients through a string of false representations, including that he was a wealthy attorney with numerous graduate degrees who had significant trading experience. Among other things, Lee failed to disclose that he had previously been convicted of defrauding investors. As part of his sentence, U.S. District Court Judge Roger T. Benitez ordered Lee to repay more than $10.5 million in losses to his former clients. Lee, 59, pleaded guilty to obstructing justice in October 2014, at which time he admitted to hiding clients’ funds in shell corporation accounts and using a series of elaborate transactions to avoid having to pay restitution he owed the United States from his previous felony conviction. Lee was previously convicted of defrauding investors and embezzling from their pension funds in December 1997 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. For the prior offense, Lee was sentenced to 30 months in custody and ordered to pay $2.88 million in restitution. After his release from custody, Lee began a new scheme in San Diego by creating corporations in the names of other persons in order to prevent the United States from finding and collecting

his assets. To date, he has paid less than $30,000 of the previously-ordered restitution. By 2009, Lee actively sought clients’ funds for online trading by falsely claiming he was a CPA who had Ph.D., J.D., and M.B.A. degrees. The FBI said he also lied about his professional trading experience and his ability to cover potential losses — assuring clients he could and would cover 50 percent of any realized losses. In exchange, Lee instructed clients to send management fees and 50 percent of realized profits to bank accounts opened in the name of his shell corporations, including San Diego-based ELX Int., Inc. (“ELX”), which intentionally failed to list Lee as a corporate officer or on its bank account. Once the assets were under his control, Lee transferred them to other shell accounts under his control and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on personal expenses, including lavish international trips and credit card bills for high-end department stores. By January 2011, Lee’s trading activity created significant realized losses for various clients. Rather than pay clients for 50 percent of the losses as promised, Lee restructured billing invoices to disguise the losses. To compound the lies, he then fraudulently billed his clients for non-existent gains. Several victims reported losing retirement funds and life savings as a consequence of accepting Lee’s misrepresentations.

Man steals Maserati from La Jolla dealership

man walked into a La Jolla car dealership Thursday, April 30, snatched keys from the counter and took off in a new Maserati. San Diego police officer Matthew Tortorella said the car was stolen from Maserati of San Diego on Girard Avenue about 2:15 p.m. The man drove off in a white 2015 Ghibli that was sitting outside the dealership.

Police Blotter

Employees last saw the four-door car being driven on Pearl Street, Tortorella said. The thief was described as black, in his early 30s and about 6 feet tall. He was wearing a blue baseball cap, a white T-shirt and blue jeans. An employee at the dealership said the police had some “good leads” in the case but had not yet recovered the car, which sells for $80,000 to $85,000.

Teeth in a day:

What’s the rush? Having your teeth fixed with dental implants in just one day....what a great idea! Even a better marketing angle. I know how well the marketing works, as I’ve been asked numerous times why dental implants take time when patients keep hearing and seeing ads for “immediate teeth”. To be perfectly fair, the “teeth in a day” protocol does work in certain circumstances and many patients have gone through the process successfully. However, there are several caveats that must be considered. First of all, with “teeth in a day”, the “teeth” are typically denture teeth which are fixed to a series of 4 to 6 implants in a row. All of the teeth in the dental arch are typically missing or removed for this to work. In addition to removing all of the teeth, several millimeters of bone and gum tissues need to be removed to create “restorative” space. Secondly, the bone around the teeth needs to be healthy and free of infection. Placing implants into infected areas invites a risk of implant failure. Now, some of us are already scratching our heads wondering why anyone would want to remove perfectly good teeth that are not infected. I am a dentist and have been placing and restoring dental implants for the past fifteen years. I believe that dental implantology is one of the greatest advances in dentistry of our time. That being said, I think there is nothing better than real teeth. Saving whatever teeth we can, within practical considerations, is our first goal. It is true that dentures are no fun! Food tastes and feels foreign, speech is difficult and the feeling of physical decline is oppressive. Natural teeth, even a few in the arch, is the best option for comfort, function, and sense of normalcy. One reason is that our natural teeth have ligaments that hold them into the bone. Within this ligament space lies proprioceptive nerve endings that send signals to the brain regarding pressure. They help us determine how hard we need to bite when we are eating. Does a hot dog feel any different than a good fillet? You bet it does. Implants offer absolutely no proprioceptive feedback. Some people have not had much luck in taking care of their natural teeth. Implants may seem like a good way to escape from the hassle. Actually, they still need attention. Each implant needs to be cleaned around the tissue where it emerges, just like teeth. When there is a bridge or denture permanently attached to them, care and time needs to be taken to get underneath and do a thorough job cleaning them. Losing a dental implant under a complicated bridge can be an expensive complication. Before jumping to the “teeth in a day” conclusion, it would be prudent to have a thorough exam to determine what teeth you can save and how hopeless teeth can be replaced. Look to our future articles where we will be discussing the pros and cons of immediate placement and restoration of implants for single tooth considerations.

Barber Tract residents are urging the city to increase trash pickup and install more cans along the shorelines. Courtesy

Parks & Beaches task city with increased trash pickup La Jolla

Parks and Beaches but I’d like to see the city get those back to the way they were,” said LJPB member Bill Robbins. “I’ve taken large trash bags out for parties and people fill them up and bring them to the can, but then they have no place to put them. Also along Coast Boulevard, people try to do the right thing with picnics, but the trash cans are often overflowing by the end of the day, so they put the trash next to the can and by morning, the birds have (flung the trash) everywhere.” Added Chasan, “The Barber Tract Neighborhood Association worked tirelessly to get three ‘seagull-proof’ cans put back at Marine Street beach,” but with the increase in the beach’s popularity, the three quickly became insufficient. The city agreed to place additional cans at the site, but the ones

By Ashley Mackin Barber Tract residents — as well as at least one member of the La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJPB) advisory board — are asking the city to increase its trash pickup rounds and add more seagull-proof receptacles to keep La Jolla’s smaller beaches clean. At the April 27 LJPB meeting, Barber Tract Neighborhood Association (BTNA) member Cynthia Chasan reported that trash is left on the beach at Marine Street because the cans at its entrances are not emptied regularly, nor are there enough of them. After being identified on social media as a beach not frequented by police, she said the area has become a hotspot for young people to hang out and drink alcohol, and that beer bottles are often left on the beach. BTNA president Dave Talcott reported a recent beach cleanup in the area yielded 185 pounds of trash. Beaches near the Barber Tract — bound by La Jolla Boulevard to the east, just above Marine Street to the north and just above North Lane to the south — experienced a decrease in city maintenance when the city cut back on trash cans and pickup as part of a budget slash in 2009. “Some people put their own cans out there,

would decrease the amount of trash.

In other Parks & Beaches news:

n Project funding on the way: LJPB chair Dan Allen said two LJPB capital projects were included in the recently announced 2016 city budget. The city has earmarked $950,000 for the Scripps Park restroom facility and $435,000 for Children’s Pool sidewalk beautification.

n Exchange Place Park? The committee exploring options for the Exchange Place Reservoir parcel (near the corner of Country Club Drive and Pepita Way) will offer a report at next month’s meeting, looking at the possibility of turning the land into a public park after the reservoir is decommissioned and removed in 2016.

Residents near Marine Street beach argue that the current level of trash pickup is insufficient, considering the frequency of beach use — especially on weekends and the approaching summer. Courtesy they installed had open lids from which seagulls could retrieve food trash. “This has caused a massive seagull problem. We’ve asked for the city to replace these cans with seagull-proof lids and they asked us to come here (for Parks & Beaches support) first.” Robbins added, “I really think it takes more labor for Park & Rec employees to pick up all that trash by hand than it would be to empty an additional can.” To save time and the number of manhours needed, Robbins suggested LJPB look into getting Big Belly solar-powered trash compactors similar to those found at Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores, “maybe a few at

Scripps Park and one at Children’s Pool, too,” he said. “Because they automatically compact, these recepticals hold three times more trash before needing to be emptied — and they indicate when they are full. We can talk about this all we want, but if it’s a year-long wait to get these and if we aren’t even on the list, we’re not going to get them.” However, City Park & Recreation district manager Dan Daneri said the ones in La Jolla Shores are experiencing unforeseen complications due to proximity to the ocean and salty air, and that most Big Bellies are not found in ocean communities. “Park & Rec spent $800 on repairs recently,” he said.

“And these require different trash bags, so they are more complicated than a regular trash can.” Daneri argued that increased manpower would prove more beneficial. Nevertheless, a motion to support Robbins investigating how to go about getting the Big Belly cans at smaller beaches was approved unanimously. An additional motion to ask the city for increased personnel and more seagull-proof trash cans at Marine Street beach and other areas in need passed unanimously. Additionally, Chasan said she hopes police will increase their presence at the beach to deter underage drinking, which she said

n Beach access: Melinda Merryweather said she would present an updated proposal for opening public parking on Coast Walk, leading into the Coast Walk trail. She also said she’d like to discuss establishing an “adopt-a-view” program, similar to “adopt-ahighway,” to maintain the newly expanded view on Torrey Pines Road. In March, the city removed vegetation and shortened fencing along Torrey Pines Road, creating an ocean view to Scripps Pier and beyond, largely due to Merryweather’s efforts. n Next meeting: La Jolla Parks & Beaches meets 4 p.m. Monday, May 18 (one week earlier than usual due to the Memorial Day holiday) at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org u

Bishop’s grad home safe after harrowing experience in Nepal By Pat Sherman Lily Mojdehi was feeling pretty calm at the time the 7.8 earthquake rocked Nepal April 25, having spent the past five days meditating at a retreat in the Kathmandu Valley. “I was in a vipassana, a 10-day silent meditation retreat,” said the 2014 Bishop’s School graduate, explaining, “You meditate all day. You can’t read, you can’t write, you can’t make eye contact and you can’t speak. I was on day five.” All ascetic bets are off, however, when the ground starts shaking with a force that makes buildings crumble as if made of sand. “I was a little too calm for my own safety I would say, but when it happened … we broke (our meditation), for sure,” said Lily, 18, who was approaching the end of nearly three months of study and cultural emersion in Nepal. “We weren’t sure at first (what was happening),” Lily recalled. “I should have ran down the stairs totally outside, but I just stayed on the balcony and held onto something while it was shaking.” She said of the seismic jolt, “It was big and it was long and it didn’t stop.” The aftershocks were so powerful and persistent that even after arriving safely back in San Diego May 1, she adds, “I still think that I feel them here.” Lily’s mother, La Jollan Haida Mojdehi, said she received her first tentative text April 25 from a friend in Washington, D.C., while she was still half asleep in bed. Not wanting to alarm Mojdehi with news of the quake,

Lily Mojdehi plays the tabla drums for fellow students on her trip while presenting her independent study project at her program house in Kathmandu, Nepal. Courtesy her friend simply asked if Lily had returned from Nepal. Then another friend texted and Mojdehi started receiving texts and calls from friends all over the country.

Are you looking for in-home care you can trust? Call La Jolla Nurses Homecare. We can help.

Mojdehi and her husband phoned the number their daughter had given them for the vipassana retreat. “We couldn’t get through at all,” Mojdehi said. “My friends from D.C. said, ‘Call the U.S. embassy; this is a big earthquake. They can help you.’ ” The embassy told them all phone lines were jammed. Although they assured Mojdehi they would try and help locate Lily and were providing people with food, water and shelter, the embassy wasn’t much help. Mojdehi, who serves on the board of the nonprofit, Project Concern International, which works to stem poverty and improve health in developing countries, reached out to her contacts there, and with the study program that brought her daughter to Nepal last fall, Where There Be Dragons. At around 10:30 a.m. Mojdehi received yet another text asking if Lily was alright. It was from David Moseley, the Bishop’s School teacher who had instilled in her daughter her initial fascination with Nepal, during a trip there and to India during Lily’s junior year at Bishop’s. “I was a nervous wreck,” Mojdehi said. After reaching out to his extensive list of contacts, including a journalist working in Nepal and an orphanage where the Bishop’s students worked during their 2013 trip, Mosley was able to locate Lily. “He said, ‘We found her. She’s alive, she’s safe, she will call you in two minutes.’ … It was four hours of anguish … and fear, because you always assume the worst,” Mojdehi said, noting that she doesn’t remember her

daughter’s exact words when she phoned, only, “I think I just started to cry.” Lily said damage to the retreat was minimal. It wasn’t until she ventured outside and started walking around that she saw a collapsed temple and other partially destroyed homes. People were sleeping in tents and dragging their personal belongings outside because it was no longer safe to remain inside, she said. Her own room had a large crack in the wall. “We couldn’t sleep there so we all slept in the office,” she said. “Some people slept outside.” Despite her harrowing experience, Lily said she is grateful to the people of Nepal for their hospitality and the overall experience, which began September through October of 2014 with the Where There Be Dragons organization, with which she traveled throughout Nepal, trekking and camping in the Himalayas, living with a host family in a Nepali village, working in an Ashram and learning more about Buddhism from a teacher in a Tibetan monastery. After coming home to La Jolla for two months, Lily returned to Nepal for “a more independent experience” and “my own selfgrowth,” staying with two friends from the study program at the apartment of another friend in Kathmandu. Lily will attend Bard College in upstate New York in the fall. Moseley and students will hold a bake sale fundraiser for the victims of the earthquake on Monday, May 11 at The Bishop’s School.

La Jollan who survived Nepal earthquake shares experience By John Wilkens Special to La Jolla Light

La Jollan Mark Schindler knows he was lucky to survive the earthquake that devastated Nepal nearly two weeks ago. Officials say the death toll from the 7.8 temblor is 7,000 and rising, with another 14,000 injured and thousands more missing. Countless others are displaced, their homes and villages in rubble. “I was more numb than scared,” the 60-year-old licensed psychologist said. “I knew I wasn’t in control of the situation. I could die right then, and there was nothing I could do about it.” Food and water were scarce, information scarcer. Service was spotty for phones, the Internet and TV. Nobody seemed to know what was going on. “It got so frustrating sometimes you just felt like crying,” said Schindler, who has felt the ground rock and roll beneath his feet before in Southern California. “But nothing,” he said, “like this.” While on the trip Schindler hiked the Himalayas, taking five days to reach a spot called Poon Hill, which at 10,500 feet is higher than any mountain in San Diego County but a relative shrimp in the Himalayas. He was in Kathmandu when the earthquake hit, in a yoga class on the third floor of a building near his hotel. When the quake started, he and the other 13 people were in a tree pose, standing on one leg. “Everybody fell to the ground,” he said. “The building was swaying. There was screaming.” He said he was prepared for something to fall on his head and kill him. When the shaking stopped, he urged the class to go downstairs and outside, away from buildings. Outside, he saw a marketplace where merchandise had been thrown to the ground. Whole buildings nearby had collapsed. Someone fleeing in a panic had left a prosthetic leg on the ground. In Baltimore, Schindler’s sister and lone sibling, Joy Marlowe, awoke to news accounts of the quake. She knew her brother was in Kathmandu. She also knew he hates it when she babies him. “How was the earthquake?” she texted, hoping for the best.

Psychologist Mark Schindler talks about surviving the earthquake in Nepal after returning to La Jolla. Peggy Peattie “Dangerous,” he eventually texted back. “We didn’t know if he was injured or what,” Marlowe said, “but we knew he was alive and that was a big deal.” Schindler said he figured the earthquake had cancelled his flight out, but he went to the airport anyway. It was closed. People milled about in confusion; some slept on the ground. He returned to his hotel, where staff had set up tents outside for sleeping. They didn’t want anybody inside because of aftershocks. For the next two days, he tried to figure out what to do. He found a market stall that was open and bought crackers and chocolate. He bought bottles of water and handed them out to families staying in makeshift camps. At the U.S. embassy, he received a hot meal. There were about 150 other Americans there. He put his name on a list for flights out of Nepal on U.S. military planes, if that became necessary. He eventually located a satellite office for Dragon Airlines and hired a cabbie to take him there. Inside, a clerk asked him what he now considers to be among the six sweetest words he’s ever heard: “Would you like to leave tonight?” He got home to La Jolla April 28. He said he’s still processing what happened in Nepal, but doubts the experience will change the way he feels about traveling — something he said he lives to do. “That’s my identity,” Schindler said. u

April was National Poetry Month and you might be interested to know that my poem, “Come Spring,” was among several by contemporary poets chosen for posting in the sweet spot, April 30, on yourdailypoem.com

Come Spring

School Green Team builds ‘chandelier’ The Green Team at Bird Rock Elementary School works to promote positive “green” (ecofriendly) behavior by encouraging students to reduce, reuse and recycle. This year, the club asked the whole student body to bring in their used plastic bottles for the creation a beautiful chandelier. The chandelier was inspired by the famous glass sculpture artist Dale Chihuly. Jennifer Gamez

La Jolla needs city’s help to deal with Cove sea lions After talking with San Diego lifeguards stationed at the La Jolla Cove and attending the La Jolla Parks & Beaches Committee meeting last week, it is clear to me that the City of San Diego must pay immediate attention to the serious conflicts with California sea lions at the La Jolla Cove. First of all, the sea lions are creating a public safety threat for all who go to the Cove — including visitors and city employees. The sea lions are interfering with the working environment of the lifeguards as they have to spend a great deal of time keeping people at a safe distance from the sea lions on the beach. Also, sea lions present on the stairs and walkways at the Cove block access to the beach for lifeguards and visitors. Now the large territorial males have found their way up the stairs to the walkway above the beach. If these large sea lions can get this far, they can make it to the park level and colonize the lifeguard area and the bathroom/ shower area of Scripps Park. Also, the sand on the beach must have high levels of bacteria from the high density of sea lions on the beach. Sea lion waste is an issue at the La Jolla Cove and is present on the beach, on the stairs and on the walkway above the beach. The City of San Diego must consider this a very urgent issue at this popular beach and with summer coming it needs immediate attention. Kent Trego

I’m hoping Cove stench solution comes soon I walk along the cliffs north of the Cove frequently and I agree the stench is coming from there. The guest commentary by Andrew

Lore Silva with the chandelier hanging in the Bird Rock Elementary School library.

Shorestein in the April 23 La Jolla Light is the best solution proposed that I have read. Now, if we could just get the correct people in place to solve this terrible problem, The Jewel would shine once again. Peggy Mullen

Public health is at stake due to sea lion presence Theoretically speaking, the sea lions in La Jolla could be compared to a pack of coyotes that is proliferating in public. They both threaten the viability of businesses, households and human safety. The California Department of Fish & Wildlife is responsible for both coyotes and sea lions, along with NOAA for the sea lions (due to the Marine Mammal Protection Act). There is no hesitation over removing coyotes when they jeopardize a ranch or the safety of a community. The sea lions also jeopardize human health by leaving their waste rotting all over the coast so people have to walk in it and breathe the nauseating airborne particles day and night. There is no hesitation about removing coyotes when they gather profusely and bite or chase or bare their teeth to threaten and/or hurt people. The sea lions have been increasingly involved in these behaviors. Interestingly, the Fish & Wildlife website directs people not to swim in the area of sea lions to avoid possible shark attacks and infectious diseases. It also recommends that nuisance coyotes be removed as soon as possible to avoid a worsening fearlessness of humans, which leads to more problems. La Jolla’s sea lions and the seals should be removed ASAP. Next, the beaches, cliffs, stairs and walkways should be cleaned. Let’s restore

La Jolla has become butt of stench jokes Editor’s Note: This letter was sent to Patrick Ahern of the La Jolla Parks & Beaches committee and forwarded to La Jolla Light. I am reaching out to you as a member of the LJPBC. Last night (April 27) I was at a convention hall meeting for students interested in Ivy League Colleges. There were five admissions directors who had come from the East Coast to recruit the top academic students from San Diego. There were at least 500 people in the audience, if not more. The program opened with a comment about how fortunate they were to be out here in lovely San Diego after their winter, then moved on to the joke punch line; however, we will take our horrible winters over the stench and feces in La Jolla any day. The whole audience roared in laughter, even myself, I must admit the delivery of the joke was outstanding. However, as a 22-year La Jollan, a part of me was very sad that it has come to the point that our beautiful town is now the punchline on a joke. Feel free to forward my email to anyone who may listen and take action to restore La Jolla to the beauty it once was. Cynthia Chasan

Kennedy’s Birthday Party where Marilyn Monroe sang “Happy Birthday Mr. President,” Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Golda Meir, John and Patricia Kluge and Barbara Walters along with many others. Among his splendorous affairs was the Un Ballo en Maschera in Venice. His tributes included The Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Salute to Israel in Jerusalem and The

Los Angeles Bicentennial Tribute to Men and Women of Achievement. There were legendary weekend celebrations in Virginia and at La Costa, CA, as well as extravaganzas in New York, Los Angeles, London and many other locations around the globe.

Grace Pilkington Warren 1933 – 2015

Grace Warren, science teacher at The Bishop‘s School from 1968-1993, died at her home in Santee on Monday, April 6, 2015. She was 81. Born on May 27, 1933, in Fall River, Massachusetts, Grace lived in a variety of locations throughout the United States, following first her father’s naval career and later her husband’s academic career before settling in San Diego in 1968. Grace graduated from California State University, Chico, with a degree in science, preparing her for careers as a laboratory technician and as a high school science teacher. While at Chico she met Edward B. Warren, her husband, in a hospital where both were

recuperating. They were married in 1954. Ed served successively in the Navy and the Marines in World War II and the Korean War, before completing a doctoral degree in physics at the University of Washington and launching the academic career that brought him to the University of San Diego. Job-hunting in San Diego led Grace to an opening at The Bishop’s School. Grace’s dedication to academic excellence and devotion to her students led to her remarkable record as an Advanced Placement Biology teacher and her ascension to the chairmanship of the Bishop’s Science Department. An injury sustained on the job resulting in persistent pain led to her early retirement in 1993. Grace and Ed shared a commitment to their students’ futures and mentored them long after the classes ended. They also shared a love of dogs, particularly their last dog, Dennis, whom Grace and Ed rescued from a shelter after what appeared to have been an abusive history. Edward Warren died March 24, 2003, and Ed’s son, Michael Phillip Gembol, died March 7, 2014. Grace is survived by her late husband’s grandchildren, Ktimene Gembol Axetell of Fernandina Beach, FL, Caitlin Taliaferro Gembol of Deale, MD, and Emily Nadezhda Stahl of Los Angeles, CA; and great-

grandson, Bayard Michael Axetell of Fernandina Beach, FL. Services for Grace Warren will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2015, at 10 a.m. at Saint Mary’s Chapel on the campus of The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, California. Contributions in her memory may be made to the Edward and Grace Warren Scholarship Fund at The Bishop’s School. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ lajollalight.

Helen Coon-Magee 1922 – 2015

Helen Theresa CoonMagee passed away peacefully on March 27, 2015. She was just four days shy of her 93rd Birthday. She was born in Runge, Texas, on March 31, 1922. She served eight years in the Marine Corps as a Staff Sergeant recruiting women Marines during World War II, with stints at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and Camp Pendleton, California. Helen was very active in her grandchildren’s schools

in La Jolla. At one point she was the treasurer of the Bird Rock PTA, served on the Library committee, was very involved with Muirlands Middle School and helped her son with events, he sat on the Board of the Foundation of La Jolla High School for many years. Helen enjoyed helping with events that her son produced and assisted with such notable things as the Republican National Convention in San Diego, SUPERBOWL XXXVII, QUALCOMM Shareholders meetings, San Diego STREET SCENE, AMC Theatres Grand Openings, Rock and Roll Marathon and several other high profile events in San Diego. She was also active at St. Brigids Parish in Pacific Beach while she lived in Bird Rock and volunteered each Sunday as an usher. She loved to crochet and travel with her niece, Liz “Toot’s” Johnston, and her nickname became “Granny Hobo”, because it seemed as though she was always on the road to somewhere around the country. Helen is survived by her son, Rod (Clair) Coon; granddaughters, Rheana and Ariel; and niece, Liz Johnston. Her wishes were to not have any formal memorial services and with that in mind, she donated her body to UCSD School of Medicine, to help the students with their education.

My grandkids know La Jolla’s Cove stench all too well On the morning of April 28, I drove three of my grandchildren to school. We were moving along Prospect Street and passed the La Valencia Hotel, when there was a terrible smell. With two grandsons in the backseat, I immediately started my speech about the rudeness of what our family calls “barking spiders.” They all laughed and announced in unison … “It’s the Cove, Munya!” We have a big problem. Anne Marshall (Munya)

Let the ocean cleanse the shore Regarding the Cove Stench ... has anyone thought of pumping natural sea water from the ocean and power washing the rocks periodically? No chemicals, and it should make everyone happy. Sounds good to me! Chuck Wayland

Serving the community and traffic board is a privilege

La Jolla High School’s track: Use it responsibly or lose it La Jolla is unique in that its public high school allows the public to use its athletic field for informal athletic recreational purposes such as jogging. In 2007, the principal locked the public out after evidence that irresponsible use was deteriorating the facility. Some of us from the community opened a dialogue with the principal, and urged he reconsider. He agreed to reopen the track to public use subject to our following some simple rules. These are clearly posted at all the entrances to the field, and around the track. Examples are: Jog in outer lanes. No dogs allowed. No wheeled items on the track, like scooters, strollers, bikes, skateboards, etc. Initially folks generally respected these rules. Occasionally, either I, or others, would remind our neighbors why this

was important, and generally people complied. More recently, I see increased disregard of the rules, as though people believe rules don’t apply to them. I have seen a father and his son fly a remote control plane all around the field while their unleashed dog ran helter skelter barking loudly. A woman was jogging and her dog was running beside her on the track! Families with children permitted them to ride their bikes or scooters on the track. I hate to see this disrespect of sensible use rules by a few endanger the enjoyment of this wonderful facility for everyone. Can we please act like responsible adults? Igor Grant

A toast to Ms. Merryweather!

Every time I use Torrey Pines Road, I send up a silent thank you to Melinda Merryweather. It was her foresight and persistence that caused the City of San Diego to cut down the bushes, which have been hiding one of the most beautiful views of our coastline. I hope the city finishes the job and cuts down the ugly stumps. If we had a few more Melinda Merryweathers around town, maybe we could again have the clean, lovely and charming Village I moved to 20 years ago. Nancy Shields

Unholy Covenant: Mythical shared use of Children’s Pool In 2014, the City of San Diego made a covenant with the California Coastal Commission to close the Children’s Pool to humans annually, Dec. 15 to May 15. In exchange, the city is to remove beach impediments on May 15 and allow unfettered human access; that is, no chain will close the stairs, and no rope on the beach will limit human entry.

I have been on the La Jolla Traffic & Transportation board for approximately eight years and been the chair for six. I am not sure if you were aware, but the April meeting was my last. I wanted to use this opportunity to thank La Jolla Light’s readers and the community at large for giving me the honor of representing them to the city on traffic and transportation issues. I appreciate the confidence that the representatives of the five community groups placed in me

to appoint me six times as chair. During my tenure, I had the pleasure to work with many devoted community members on the T&T board. I am proud of what we accomplished as a board. I wanted to personally thank Sherri Lightner, Erin Demorest, Justin Garver, and everyone in the city’s Traffic Engineering Department for implementing the recommendations our board made. They spent countless hours behind the scenes supporting La Jolla. I also want to thank the San Diego Police and Fire Departments for their willingness to work with our board and come to our meetings. Finally, I want to thank the La Jolla Light for devoting its resources to having reporter Ashley Mackin cover our meetings. She did an excellent job of reporting what was discussed. Todd Lesser Editor’s Note: Mr. Lesser is leaving the board so that other representatives from LJSA may serve. T&T includes two reps from five community groups.

OUR READERS WRITE (Continued) However, the covenant/agreement is silent as to making the beach safe for humans or removing the harbor seals. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has not agreed to this exchange, which, if fully implemented, would require the removal of seals. Presently, under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), humans simply stepping onto the beach could be and are ticketed for harassing seals. In fact, the MMPA is an act to protect seals from people, not people from seals. This covenant promising a shared beach is unholy because the city will open the beach but its use will be severely constrained by a rope referred to as a “visual barrier.” However, beachgoers crossing to enter the water risk being ticketing by the NMFS. The “covenant” also states that the city is to examine ways of cleaning the sand and water of seal feces accumulated there from the ever-growing number of animals. Oddly, the city asserts that this beach has never been cleaned by city workers, although numerous lifeguards and years-long visitors have testified to routine cleanups in the past. This beautiful ocean pool protected by a sea wall, which the city and state agreed to maintain “in perpetuity” (forever), has now become a filthy marine zoo – a threat to public health. Proposed City Action Plan: Clean the beach immediately after opening it for human use and regularly thereafter. Remove the “visual barrier” rope and all barriers to legal ocean entry. Assure that people using the beach safely and legally will not be ticketed. Apply MMPA section 109(h), which states: Nothing in this title or title IV shall prevent a Federal, State, or local government official or employee or a person designated under section 112(c) from taking (removing), in the course of his or her duties as an official, employee, or designee, a marine mammal in a humane manner (including euthanasia) if such taking is for: (i) the protection or welfare

of the mammal, (ii) the protection of the public health and welfare, or (iii) the nonlethal removal of nuisance animals. Mary Ellen Morgan

Happy to see street keeper Lately, to my delight, I have noticed some La Jolla streets are looking very clean. This morning I saw a man picking up trash with some gadget. I do hope more people will be hired to clean streets in all of La Jolla. Dr. Inge Vucelic Editor’s Note: No doubt you saw Jeff Gerwin who is picking up litter in the Village with his efforts paid for by donations to his Go Fund Me page.

Kudos for excellent reporting I just finished reading the article on the Whitney project in the April 30 La Jolla Light. I want to congratulate the paper and the excellent reporter Pat Sherman for the unbiased, accurate account of the situation. All of us are very pleased. Myrna Naegle

s the La Jolla Youth Baseball “regular season” draws to a close, the 9- and 10-year old Mustang players are truly running wild. Mustang is the division where base stealing gets underway and teams take advantage of speed and understanding the game situation. While no direct stealing of home is allowed, coaches and players do take their chances running home on a passed ball or wild pitch. For the second year, the Mustang Division has instituted a “pitcher development rule,” where a first-time pitcher heads to the mound during the fourth inning of each mid-week game. LJYB board member Cindy Stratton introduced the concept last year and managers must place a “developmental pitcher,” typically a first-year Mustang player or any player who has not previously pitched. About the only time Mustang players don’t run is during this inning, when no base stealing is allowed. As first time Mustang manager Jay Sakamoto noted recently, it’s all about building confidence and getting experience on the mound. The final standings are in and the RBG

team managed by Michael Solis tops the list followed by the Syntergy team in second, managed by Mike Campagna. All teams make the playoffs where anything can, and usually does, happen. As the eight LJYB Mustang teams enter the double-elimination playoff, we are sure to see some speed on the base paths and better all-around pitching. The big hitters still threaten with the long ball as seen by the recent blast from John Hartford of the Willis Allen team. Come to the Mustang Field at noon on Saturday, May 16 for the championship game and watch these “horses” run! Admission is free! u

section b Longtime La Jolla resident, author and playwright Mark Sickman at his Mt. Soledad home Pat Sherman

Something to hang his hat on n Local playwright plans to stage his hangman musical ‘Rope’ in 2016 at San Diego’s Tenth Avenue Arts Center By Pat Sherman or La Jolla playwright Mark Sickman, seeing a production go from page to stage means paying close attention to what theater companies are looking for at any given moment. “It’s a difficult situation for the local playwright,” said the retired Chicago and San Diego advertising professional, who also runs a website for people who pen sports-themed poetry, baseballbard.com. “People like me are writing and scrambling to make contacts and to get our work through the door of the theaters. The theaters, on the other hand, are overwhelmed with submissions. You have to go where you think your work is going to be accepted.” Although Sickman has submitted to local companies, and has at times had his work accepted, he casts a wide, thoughtful net. “There are theaters all over the country looking for work,” he said. “I subscribe to a number of industry publications and newsletters, and there are websites where they have listings of theaters that are looking for (specific types of) submissions.” That sense of focused diligence has paid off for Sickman, who has had his plays and musicals produced from Los Angeles to Lewisburg, West Virginia and, most recently, at Robert Moss Theater in New York City’s East Village, where his musical “Rope” entered the finals of the Venus Theater Festival, garnering four awards. Sickman received word last November that “Rope” had been accepted into the festival while he was doing a staged reading (without sets or full costumes) of “Rope” at San Diego’s Tenth Avenue Arts Center, where he also plans to do a full production of the musical in March 2016.

American Folk Art treasures find breathing room at Mingei Museum By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt he Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park’s latest exhibition, “Self-Taught Genius,” is a tribute to three centuries of American creativity. This selection of 100-plus treasures from the American Folk Art Museum in New York is on a five-city national tour, and the Mingei is its only West Coast destination. “Self-Taught Genius” features a range of media and styles that will knock your socks off, if you’re wearing socks.

Let Inga Tell You

Fancissimo cars

La Jolla Cultural Partners

ne night about a year and a half ago, some miscreants wandered up and down our street and smashed the side mirrors and tail lights of more than 50 high-end cars. They significantly damaged our neighbor’s Lexus SUV then moved to our driveway where they whacked Olof’s BMW. But like the Angel of Death, they passed over my 2005 Corolla. I couldn’t help but wonder at the time: was this a class thing? Did they consider my crappy Corolla one of their own? Or, I feared, did they just think it wasn’t worth the effort? I fully admit that I was born without the car gene. But from time to time some phylogenous artifact of the car genome surfaces in me. This was the case when a long-time friend came to pick me up for lunch in her SUV. She has always driven SUVs but the first thing I noticed was that it was a different color, leading me to conclude that it was new. Cars rarely speak to me but this one did. Dazzled by the dashboard panel, I could only inquire, “Does the Starship Enterprise now come in an Earthling model?” (It was a Porsche Cayenne.) This was one nice ride. I must confess that I have been slow to master even basic Luxury Car Speak, a

required language in La Jolla. I only recently learned, for example, that with really high-end cars, one only refers to it by its letter and number combination, for example, the F12 or the C7. I mentioned to a car-oriented friend that he might like to see another friend’s new Corvette C7. He e-mailed me back: Inga — I cannot allow you to embarrass yourself any further. Corvette owners don’t call their cars Corvettes, they call them C6s or C7s. Um, okay. (For fellow ignorati, the F12 is a Ferrari with a V12 engine.) Upon further reflection, I realized that a friend who owns several Ferraris only refers to them by number, as in “I’m taking the 458 today.” (I guess if it’s your own car, the “F” is assumed.) Like all devoted Ferraristas, she speaks in the language of exhaust and hangs out a lot of the F-List (the Ferrari owners chat list). There’s no fancy way to refer to my 2005 Corolla. I could call it a Corolla LE (Luxury Edition) which it is. However, I think that just means it came with a radio. The car-noscenti, however, are never satisfied. My friend’s new Corvette is not just a run-of-the-mill C7, I’m furthered informed; it’s a C7 Z06 which I understand means it has a really souped-up engine,

2015 Corvette Stingray Courtesy of Chevrolet

and should be so referred. He’s taking it to a race track that doubles as a training ground for new souped-up-car owners who want to know what their vehicle can do before they open it up on their usual raceways (La Jolla Boulevard and the Von’s parking lot). As I’ve written before, I am always fascinated by learning about people who live very different lives from mine, whether it be people from other countries, or people who just seem like they’re from different countries but actually live close by. I have it on good authority, for example, that you will see no fat people at the local Ferrari dealership receptions. Just like Nordstrom sticking their fat department on the third floor behind the rest rooms, do they fear their image tainted by the unsvelte? Probably, but after riding several times in my friend’s 458, the more obvious reason became apparent: fat people need a fork lift to get out of them. Luxury sports cars really intimidate me because there are just too many egregious mistakes you can make. The first time I rode in a Ferrari, I got fingerprints on the

roof trying to leverage my bulk out of the seat. I also closed the door pushing on the window when my friend let me out down the street (the unsatisfactory condition of our street’s paving was making her a wreck). This Ferrari (maybe all Ferraris?) does not have a frame around the window so it is bad for the window if you close the door pushing on the window. (All that money and they can’t spring for a window frame?) “This is what the door handle is for, Inga,” she admonished me in a followup email once she’d calmed down. (Ferrari people are very excitable.) My 2005 Corolla knows what it feels like to be disdained, to be looked down upon by all its compatriot vehicles on the street. And still, it holds its hood up high. However, it has also not been lost on it (or me) that Olof pays more for a single “maintenance” visit at BMW of San Diego than I have spent on my car in 10 years. AND I don’t need a crane. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

SUMMER CAMP GUIDE

Page B8 - MAY 7, 2015 - LA JOLLA LIGHT

2015 Questions to consider in selecting a day camp n What training does the staff receive on safety, supervision, counseling, problem solving and other issues unique to working with young children? n Is the price all-inclusive or are there extra charges for transportation, overnights, swim lessons, food service, group pictures, T-shirts, extended care, field trips? n Does the camp have an “express bus” that transports children quickly? n If before- and after-camp extended care is offered, who is with the children and what activities take place? n Is lunch served or do campers bring their own sack lunch? Are snacks and drinks provided? n Are campers in a group with a counselor all day? Or, are campers free to go from one activity to another with appropriate supervision? In this case, whom would you talk to if you had a question or concern about your child? n Are parents allowed to drop by for visits or is there a special parent visitation day? u — American Camp Association

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

Terrific cast + non-stop laughs = Unnecessary Farce at NCRT

orth Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT) has created the perfect comedic storm in its production of “Unnecessary Farce” onstage through May 10. It all begins with Paul Slade Smith’s hilarious script that revolves around two soon-to-be police officers who are assigned to take down a corrupt mayor. Storms are unpredictable, but director Matthew Wiener (NCRT “Lend Me A Tender” and “Perfect Wedding”) proves he knows just how to handle one that includes mistaken identities, inexplicable coincidences and furtive secrets in this farce. The exceptional cast is the power behind the surprising comedy, delivering Smith’s sidesplitting dialogue and many double entendres with impeccable timing. Eric (Christopher Williams) and Billie (Jacque Wilke) have been assigned the task of trapping Mayor Meekly (Ted Barton), who is under investigation for missing funds. They’ve set up two rooms in a hotel (terrifically designed with eight doors by Marty Burnett) — one with a hidden camera and the second with the screen to monitor the other. The mayor’s accountant Karen (Jessica John) has agreed to help with the trap. Instead, she gets involved with Agent Frank (John Nutten), who is also secretly working for the looney hitman Todd (David McBean).

Eric and Billie are on top of the world as cops, but more like in a boat-without-oars in regard to protocol. Eric is lusting after Karen and there’s not a moment that feels artificial about the portrayal. Billie is a silly, act-first think-later girl who wants so bad to be a genuine police officer. Actor Wilke has a Lucille Ball-like demeanor in most of her frenzied actions and keeps the audience in stitches. Actor John is like a switch on a fan as she goes all out to convey secret “help me” messages on the hidden camera in the room adjacent to Eric, which he totally misses. So why does she keep taking off her clothes? Barton and Nutten give it all to portray zany characters, and Dagmar Krause Fields handles the role of the mayor’s wife very well. Everything about this play is worth seeing twice, but the killer character (literally) is Todd. McBean is so hilarious in the different situations — especially in his rage and interpretation of a Scottish assassin — I almost didn’t want the play to end. One again NCRT delivers a must-see show! u n IF YOU GO: “Unnecessary Farce” plays through May 10 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $41.

Ooh La La! The next Jewel Ball will be manifique! By Ashley Mackin his year’s Las Patronas’ annual fundraiser, The Jewel Ball, will offer attendees all the romantic, glamorous joie de vivre of France. The La Jolla-based women’s philanthropy group unveiled the décor (and teased up some excitement for “Magnifique”) at a preview April 29 at the La Jolla Community Center. Design co-chair Susan Barrera promised lavender fields, hot-air balloons, chandeliers, candelabras, large paper flowers, bubbly fountains and Champagne. “We’ve taken everything we love about France — the essence of French romance — and given it our Las Patronas twist,” she said. “It will be just like being in an outdoor garden outside of a chateau.” She added there will be “a wink and a nod” to French architecture and landmarks. Las Patronas uses ticket sales and auction proceeds from the ball to provide financial assistance to nonprofit organizations throughout San Diego. This year’s major beneficiaries are Alpha Project for the

Homeless, Arc of San Diego, Boys and Girls Club of Greater San Diego, Living Coast Discovery Center, Mountain Health and Community Services, The Old Globe Theatre, The Preuss School–UCSD, University of San Diego, and the San Diego Zoo Global. Major beneficiaries use the grants to purchase capital items to help them achieve their missions. There are also 41 minor beneficiaries. Last year’s Jewel Ball was cancelled due to rain, but still managed to raise $883,775, which has been distributed among 51 grant recipients. In a lemonade-from-lemons decision, the “silent auction” went online to continue to generate donations. After the success of the online auction last year, Las Patronas decided to hold an online auction for the entire month of July, leading up to the Aug. 8 Jewel Ball at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, 2000 Spindrift Drive. To receive an invitation to Jewel Ball, send your mailing address to reservations@laspatronas.org Ticket sales begin June 1 at laspatronas.org u

“The story is, it was made by an ironworker who actually worked on the building, that he made it in his New Jersey basement, but we’re not really certain,” said Stacy Hollander, the exhibit’s lead curator, who flew in for the Mingei members’ opening April 17. “We just know it was done before the antenna was added because the piece has no antenna. And there are no nails or glue holding it together. It’s an amazing feat!” Hollander, who started as an intern at the American Folk Art Museum 27 years ago and is now senior curator and director of exhibitions, came up with the concept for “Self-Taught Genius.” “Self-taught doesn’t mean un-taught,” she explained. “These artists are as masterful as any fine artists. And once

we had the concept, the art works kind of selected themselves.” She said the exhibit, first shown in New York and then at the Figge Art Museum in Iowa, “takes on a different kind of life in each space, since we allow each institution a lot of flexibility in how they arrange the pieces. And it’s very exciting now to see it here.” The Folk Art Museum’s executive director, Anne-Imelda Radice, also at the Mingei opening, agreed. “I love this institution, and I think the director is one of the best in the country,” she said. “I’m on the board of trustees here, which is very unusual for a museum director, but I’m proud of it, and we hope to be doing other projects together in the future.” The exhibit is beautifully presented, taking over almost the whole

Founded in 1978 by Martha Longenecker, who developed the ceramics department at SDSU, the Mingei was originally located in University Town Center. Its name, meaning “art of the people,” was coined by one of her mentors, Japanese art historian Soetsu Yanagi, who believed in the importance of art “made by the many for the many.” In 2006, when Longenecker retired as director, Sidner, on staff since 1993, took over; and he has greatly expanded the museum’s budget and collection ever since.

The Mingei now has about 120,000 visitors a year, including 8,000 school children. “In today’s culture, so focused on celebrity and what things cost, we encourage discovery, finding beauty for yourself in the things around you,” Sidner said. “We show art that integrates head, heart and hands, because that’s what we’re all trying to do, become whole human beings.” u n IF YOU GO: “Self-Taught Genius: Treasures from the American Folk Art Museum is on view through Aug. 16 at Mingei International Museum, 1439 El Prado in Balboa Park, San Diego.

From Rope MUSICAL, B1 “Having done the reading here first made it a little bit easier to do the production in New York,” he said. “It was very fortuitous.” Like several of Sickman’s other works, including “Kiss Them and Wish Them Goodbye” (staged at Coronado Playhouse), “Rope” is based on historical events. His musical “Greenbrier” was set in a luxury resort near the Allegheny Mountains during World War II, where 1,000 Axis personnel and their families were detained for nearly six months. It received standing ovations and sold out the theatre several nights when performed in Lewisburg. Written last year, “Rope” is based loosely on the story of George Maledon, a hangman who oversaw the executions of more than 60 convicted criminals, landing him the moniker “The Prince of Hangmen.” “He really was very good at his job,” Sickman said. “He had a catchphrase, ‘justice with dignity.’ What that meant to him was that the prisoner had to be made as comfortable as possible, to be put completely at ease — no sudden movements, nothing frightening. These events typically would draw a large crowd, so he maintained absolute silence from the crowd, spoke in a very practiced and soft voice, and even wore shoes that wouldn’t make noise as he moved across the platform to do his work. He actually conceived of the prisoner as a partner in the event.” Although the real George Maledon worked in the federal court of Judge Isaac Parker in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Sickman’s character,

Dennis Holland portrays hangman William Maledon in the musical ‘Rope,’ by La Jolla resident Mark Sickman, as staged in February during the Venus Theater Festival in New York City.

William Maledon, plies his trade throughout the southwestern United States. The setting is 1895 in Summit City, Arizona, where Maledon is set to hang his last man, a convicted murderer. While William Maledon eschews the typical spectacle of public executions, his wife, Mildred, revels in the spotlight she has created for herself as the “hangman’s wife,” and is vehemently opposed to her husband’s impending retirement. “Mildred Maledon is my creation,” Sickman clarifies. “She is an early master at

using the media to create an image and an impression. When she travels with Maledon, the first thing she does when she goes into town is call on the newspaper. She makes a concerted effort to create this myth. Then, after the event is over, she’ll follow up very carefully to make sure that Maledon himself is described in the most flattering terms.” The “Rope” score is Broadway, with hints of folk, gospel and country, including two songs sung by Mildred that aptly describe her dark aspirations. In one song she boasts, “I’m as pleased as

can be, with this life of mine/ladies whisper and compare, but I’m the hangman’s wife — so there!” “She’s much more of a celebrity than any of (the other ladies) will ever hope to be, so this sort of idea is conveyed in her first song,” Sickman said, stressing, “In a musical it’s very important that the songs move the story along. They either describe a new event or fill in some background that you need to know to move forward.” Sickman, who said he typically pays costs upfront and is reimbursed via ticket sales, is in negotiations with Debra Whitfield and Dennis Holland, the director and lead actor from the New York production of “Rope,” whom he hopes to bring to San Diego for next year’s production. His other works include “Taxi to Jannah” (Arabic for paradise), a play he describes as “the adventures of a Muslim taxi driver in the United States, all the people he runs into and the discrimination he faces,” which was produced Off-Broadway after Sickman submitted it to a contest and, later, at Fountain Theatre in Los Angeles. “Space Number Nine,” his dramedy about a divorced couple who wind up vacationing at the same RV park and contemplate a romantic reconciliation, is making the rounds of RV parks in Arizona and California. “RV parks can be quite luxurious,” Sickman said. “Some of them will have a ballroom and a stage equivalent to anything you’d find in a Hilton. It’s been performed in Lake Havasu, Casa Grande and Mesa, Arizona. We get good crowds for this thing.” u n ON THE WEB: ropethemusical.com

Veteran actor Marsha Mason appears as Catherine Petkoff in George Bernard Shaw’s romantic comedy ‘Arms and the Man’ at The Old Globe Theatre. Jim Cox

Marsha Mason tackles Shaw in Globe’s ‘Arms and the Man’ By Diana Saenger “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself,” wrote George Bernard Shaw, who certainly lived up to it in his 90+ years. An essayist, short story writer and novelist, Shaw is perhaps best known for penning more than 60 plays. His “Arms and The Man,” first produced in 1894, will have a run at the Old Globe’s Shiley Stage Theatre, May 9–June 14. “Shaw’s distinction is that he uniquely manages to be astringently unsentimental and aridly ironic, while being at the same time, flat-out funny,” noted Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. “His themes remain relevant, and that’s a major reason we return to him.” Edelstein said he invited Jessica Stone to direct the classic Shaw comedy because of her passion for the play and the way she directed “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” last year at the Globe. “Arms and The Man,” explores the clash between romantic ideals and the surprising sensations of new love that occur as the beautiful Raina Petkoff (Wrenn Schmidt) gets ready to marry the heroic soldier, Sergius (Enver Gjokaj). An enemy soldier (Zach Appelman), who is fleeing from the war, takes refuge under her bed and threatens to shoot her if she reveals his presence, so Raina hides him. While spending time with him, she finds herself intrigued, especially when she learns he uses his ammunition pouches to carry chocolates rather than pistol cartridges. After she and her mother Catherine Petkoff (Marsha Mason), sneak him out of the house, Raina has much to think about. Mason said found the role of Catherine an opportunity she couldn’t refuse. “I’d never done a Shaw play before, and I felt it was important to have at least one experience under my belt,” she said. “I love good writing and these sorts of plays are not done very often. The story has layers to it and this terrific mixture of a sharp and incisive intellectual approach and a romantic silly layer. In a sense, Shaw was ‘baffooning,’ a sort of presentational kind of

acting that was being done at that time. He wanted it to be successful, so he wrote wonderful funny situations.” Mason’s career as a film, TV and stage actor has spanned decades and includes Academy Award nominations (“The Goodbye Girl,” “Cinderella Liberty,” “Only When I Laugh,” “Chapter Two,”) along with Golden Globe and Emmy nominations. “I always wanted to be an actor, but it didn’t come to me until I was a freshman in high school,” she said. “I didn’t know it consciously … one time I asked my uncle why he called me ‘Sarah,’ and he said, ‘after Sarah Bernhardt.’ I must’ve been doing something that made him feel that way, and I do have a passion for acting and in being able to find my way into a character. Acting gives me an opportunity to show different sides of my personality, make surprising choices, and creates challenges for me with every new project.” Mason has also been a director and said she understands the job Stone faces. “The role of the director is to have a vision. In a piece like this, you really have to have eyes and ears out in the audience to form the pictures, and an arc focused on what they’re going through (that connects with the stage.) You couldn’t do this play without a firm hand, especially because comedy requires a lot of timing. Jessica has this well in hand. “This is a big play with two intermissions because of set changes. It’s a challenge to be able to get everything on and off in its proper place in such a short time. It’s a luxury for the Old Globe to have such a professional staff, with beautiful costumes by David Reynoso, the lighting design by Austin R. Smith, and scenic design by Ralph Funicello, whom I’ve worked with before.” Mason said she hopes the audience will believe in the characters and enjoy Shaw’s wonderful work. u n IF YOU GO: “Arms and The Man,” runs May 9-June 14 at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park.

French Toast, s’il vous plaît for Mother’s Day

n Sunday, May 10, mothers across the land — biological, adoptive, foster or step — will be honored, pampered and treasured in appreciation for their years of eternal love, caring, devotion, assorted zookeeping duties and worrying. French toast, the quintessential Mother’s Day dish for breakfast in bed or brunch, is universally enjoyed by moms of all ages, cultures and nationalities. Although French toast is not exactly French (having started in Rome), it is a sophisticated and divine treat reminiscent of Paris in the spring. One of the earliest recorded recipes comes out of a 5th century Roman cookbook by Apicius for “Pan Dulcis.” The simple method starts with cutting the crust off white bread and breaking the bread into large chunks, which are then soaked in a mixture of beaten eggs and milk, fried in oil or butter, and drizzled with honey. As most culinary interchanges so common among European nations, French toast recipes filtered through the borders over the years from ancient Rome to Spain, Germany, and even the court of Henry V. And yes, the French adapted a version that salvaged stale bread called pain perdu (lost or wasted bread) that would otherwise be thrown out. Quel dommage! Eventually, the recipe crossed the ocean and appeared on Mother’s Day menus in the United States. An 18th century innkeeper in Albany, New York, having inherited the fortuitous last name of “French,” thought the fried egg toast might be an ornamental addition to his menu. Joseph French intended to call it “French’s toast,” but having forgotten to add the apostrophe “s,” he unwittingly unleashed French toast upon

the American public. This might be an apocryphal story, but it’s a fun one anyway. Today, countries around the world have rejiggered the sweet, simple recipe to incorporate regional tastes, culinary customs and ingredients. In Britain, “Eggy Bread,” “Gypsy Toast” or “Poor Knights of Windsor” is served crisp for brekkie with a side of grilled tomatoes or fresh berries. The Scotch sandwich sausages between two pieces of French toast. In Italy, mozzarella cheese is melted between two slices of the egg-dipped toast and dredged in tomato sauce with more cheese sprinkled on top, called Mozzarella in Carrozza. India also has a savory version fried with chopped onions and green chilis served with a drizzle of ketchup. Spain offers Torrijas for an Easter dessert, soaking thick slices of bread in wine, dipping in beaten egg, then frying in butter and topping with honey and cinnamon. The Sri Lankans and Burmese whip up Bombay Toast sandwiches, filling two crispy slices of French toast with a concoction of mashed potatoes and spicygreen chutney. Our neighbors to the north slather the dish in pure Canadian maple syrup, eh, while the French still whip up pain perdu, but now bake it with a rich, custardy egg and cream base, a splash of Grand Marnier and sprinkle of orange zest for a type of puffy crème brulee bread pudding extravaganza. u — For additional Mother’s Day recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Why Do We Blow up at People? Have you ever witnessed one coworker completely explode at another coworker for a seemingly minor incident? Or maybe you’ve witnessed a similar blow up in public, a customer towards a retail clerk. And no doubt when it happens to a celebrity, it’s all over the gossip news outlets. Maybe you have even found yourself in one of these scenarios, either as the aggressor or the recipient. Why do generally kind, well-behaved adults act out in such a way? These following three psychological theories might help us better understand why people,

ourselves included, act out of character and blow up at other people under certain circumstances. And understanding why we behave the way we do is the first step to becoming better at controlling our own behavior and becoming more tolerant and compassionate towards the behavior of others.

of other people’s success and happiness. We may not want to admit it, but our own self-worth is all too often dictated by how we compare to others. Admitting and acknowledging this theory, however, might then help us to control it and realize the dangers in this way of thinking.

Social Comparison Theory As the name states, this theory says that we are always comparing ourselves with others. We compare our appearance, intelligence, success, skills, talent, place in life, etc. with other people that we might consider either above us and below us. And naturally, we feel better about ourselves around those who have less, and conversely we feel bad about ourselves when we see those who have more. Social Comparison Theory has become even more prevalent with the emergence of social media. Many times, sites like Facebook can damage our mood and self-esteem if we are constantly bombarded with posts and images

The Frustration-Aggression Hypothesis The hypothesis here, supported by much research, is that frustration leads to aggression. Road rage is a prime example of this. People stuck in traffic or dealing with inconsiderate drivers become frustrated and then this frustration turns into aggressive driving and behavior. It is easy to see how this idea can transfer over to the work environment. If you work day in, day out with co-workers who frustrate you for one reason or the other, or if the work setting in general promotes frustration and negativity rather than positive productivity, then one can see how frustration can build up over time and turn into aggressive behavior.

The Conflict Between the Superego and the Id The basis of this idea, popularized by Freud, is that we are in a constant struggle between our impulses (Id), or how we want to behave, versus how we should behave (Superego), as dictated by the rules of society. Each one of us has impulses, feelings, and desires that may not be positive or even acceptable in society, but we begin learning at a very young age that we must keep these impulses quiet and not act upon them if we want to peacefully coexist with others. In fact, keeping some of may act inappropriately or our of character. The biggest take-away from these theories is simply to understand them and acknowledge that they exist in all of us. If we can recognize and admit that these ideas are at play, then we may become better at controlling our own behavior, and we also may become more compassionate, understanding individuals who are more willing to forgive others.

Hyatt Regency La Jolla pricetag: $118 million

C Pharmaca’s pharmacy manager John Rose, Serra High School senior Renee Penaflor, La Jolla resident and Social Advocates for Youth program manager Karen Lenyoun, Serra High senior Jenna Murphy and UCSD pharmacy student Michael Pham Pat Sherman

Students promote prescription drug dangers

tudents at UC San Diego’s Skaggs School of Pharmacy and at Serra High School in Tierrasanta teamed up with Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy on Girard Avenue in April to help prevent misuse of prescription drugs and ensure safe disposal of old medicines. The students created a patient advisory guide that will be available to customers at the pharmacy counter at Pharmaca. It includes questions for patients to ask their pharmacist, such as what time of day they should take their medicines, whether the medicine could have a negative interaction with other medications they may be taking and whether it is safe to cut a pill in half to reduce the dosage. Involving high school students in the project was also intended to increase awareness of the problem of prescription drug abuse, said La Jolla resident Karen Lenyoun, with Social Advocates for Youth San Diego, which organizes the Elevated program at Serra High School. “Prescription drug abuse is the No. 1 growing drug abuse problem among the high school student population and prescription drug overdose is the number one cause of accidental death in the county of San Diego and nationwide —

really startling statistics,” Lenyoun said. “It’s really important to educate the students at this level, so that they understand the dangers involved with abusing prescription drugs and can pass this on to their friends.” UCSD pharmacy student Michael Pham, who worked with Serra High students to produce the pamphlet, is part of a group at UCSD called Generation RX, which conducts similar outreach to middle and high school students about the dangers of prescription drugs. Pharmaca’s pharmacy, manager, John Rose, said each pamphlet includes the addresses of places where people can dispose of prescriptions drugs they are no longer using. “The main problem is correct disposal,” Rose said. “Community pharmacies, we don’t do it. People bring (medications) back and we don’t have a way to dispose of it for them, and so they just end up in people’s houses and they build up. … Sometimes kids will just go through the cabinet and take from their parents … and it’s easier than people think to overdose from these medications, (for instance) if you’ve taken them before and then go back to the same dose.” u — Pat Sherman
