By Pat Sherman Though the Village of La Jolla will lose a four-decade retail institution, Jonathan’s gourmet market on June 1, if all goes as planned it will gain its first movie theater in more than 12 years in the same location at 7611 Fay Ave., catering to the discerning tastes of La Jolla film-goers.

Movie theater veteran Adolfo Fastlicht and business partner Carlos Wellman, both of La Jolla, have signed a more than 20year lease with Dallo Enterprises — which owns the property and operated Jonathan’s — to convert the building into a boutique, luxury cinema complex.

The La Jolla theater — the first venture for Fastlicht and Wellman’s company, Boffo Cinemas — will include seven screens with 50 to 60 leather recliners per auditorium, as well as a restaurant, bar and in-seat food and beverage service.

Guests will also be able to reserve specific seats in advance (to avoid scrambling for seating when arriving fashionably late). An existing underground parking garage and outdoor lot should provide ample parking for patrons.

“First and foremost, we’re going to give the Village back its movie theater,” said Fastlicht, referencing the 2002 closure of the Cove Theatre on Girard Avenue. “But this time around, we’re going to give the Village what we believe is really the future of the cinema-going experience.”

Fastlicht and Wellman say that future lies in luxury cinemas — similar to the “Platinum Cinema” concept Fastlicht created for Cinemex, a chain of multiplexes he and several of his Harvard Business School classmates founded in Mexico City in 1993. (Cinemex had 35 theaters and about 370 screens when he and his partners sold the company in 2002).

The concept will also be similar to that of

Children’s Pool lookout develops by decades La Jolla’s

Lifeguard Towers Part 1 of 3 nA series chronicling the history

Secret Garden Tour of La Jolla set for Saturday, B5

of the towers at Children’s Pool, The Cove and The Shores

Editor’s Note: As La Jollans witness all three of their lifeguard towers under construction in some form, the Light decided to take a look at the history of the towers through the eyes and ears of self-proclaimed Lifeguard Historian: Captain Nick Lerma, as well as other former lifeguards. Our first installment examines the history of the Children’s Pool/Casa Beach tower.

By Ashley Mackin s another harbor seal-pupping season comes to a close (Dec. 15- May 15), construction on the nearby Children’s Pool/Casa Beach lifeguard tower will begin in June. It’s one of three being redeveloped — along with La Jolla Cove lifeguard tower and the Shores lifeguard tower — and one of three with a notable history. When lifeguarding formally began here in 1918, Children’s Pool was seen as a perfect place for a widespread view. “(Guarding at) the Children’s Pool

Center to host free kids’ Tower at La Jolla Natural Park is Aquatic life jacket giveaway on Saturday ‘security communications pole’ M

By Ashley Mackin ddressing the mysterious pole at an entrance of La Jolla Natural Park that often draws questions from the La Jolla Parks and Beaches community advisory group, Hossein Azar, a Senior Civil Engineer for the City of San Diego Public Works Department, provided the following explanation.

“Following the events of Sept. 11, the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandated that water utilities nationwide conduct vulnerability assessments of their critical infrastructure. The City of San Diego began implementing mandated security upgrades identified in the initial vulnerability assessments in 2003 and since then has awarded a number of contracts with the most recent contract, RFP 1, nearing completion within the next 90 days.

“RFP 1 includes the installation of a new wireless communication system, which relays data to the Public Utilities central monitoring facility. The security communications pole recently installed near the site of the new the La Jolla View Reservoir combines security data feeds from several nearby water facilities and relays that data via mountain top to the Public Utilities central monitoring facility. This security communications pole is a critical component in the system overall.

“The EPA additionally mandated that security upgrades at water facilities fall under the Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) Program and that work be done in strictest confidence. In an effort to keep the details of RFP 1 confidential, impacted community members were only notified via a door hanger and on a case by the case basis.” u

By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) began its May 8 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center on a high note, with its new officers taking the oath, and elected officials honoring the service of Dean Haskins and son, Steve Haskins — both La Jolla attorneys who have served as LJTC presidents (Steve’s term began during this month’s meeting, when immediate past-president Cindy Greatrex handed him the gavel).

However, the meeting ended with a less celebratory discussion, as trustees voted to hold an election among the LJTC’s general membership to decide whether fellow trustee Nancy Gardner should be removed from the board, in relation to how proceeds from the Oct. 5, 2013 La Jolla Dancing with the Stars fundraiser were managed. Trustees say actions taken by Gardner, who served as

www.lajollalight.com

LA JOLLA LIGHT - MAY 15, 2014 - Page A5

and Montana-based Warriors and Quiet Waters Foundation (a nonprofit that provides fly fishing trips for wounded servicemen and women) each received 10 percent.

In January, checks to all four beneficiaries were signed and distributed by Gardner (who said she has since been taken off the event account).

LJTC trustee Ann Kerr Bache, who is also the La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival event chair, decided to donate the parade’s share of the proceeds to the LJTC, she said, because the LJTC “sponsored us for many years … and housed us in their offices at no charge.”

By the time the LJTC deposited Gardner’s Parade Foundation check in its own account, during the first week of March (the transfer first had be approved by the Parade Foundation Board), a stop payment order had been placed on it.

Greatrex told the La Jolla Light she later learned that the attorney for the nonprofit San Diego Police Historical Association (SDPHA) — which lent its 501(c)3 nonprofit status to the event, and ended up handling all its finances — placed the stop payment, due to concerns about whether La Jolla Dancing with the Stars was a “legal” fundraising event, Greatrex said.

Although the SDPHA, for which Gardner is a volunteer commissioner, was initially procured to process credit card payments at a lower rate, it was eventually deemed the sole fiscal agent for the event.

According to SDPHA Vice-president Steve Willard, SDPHA authorized a fictitious name to be secured for the event and a bank

account to be opened, both in the name of La Jolla Dancing with the Stars (the latter to prevent co-mingling with funds in the SDPHA’s account).

Although the LJTC expected the SDPHA to re-deposit the Parade Foundation’s 20 percent, it never happened.

Instead, Gardner invited the Light and another publication to attend an April 30 press event at the offices of the La Jolla Real Estate Brokers Association (REBA), where SDPHA Vice-president Willard presented Warriors and Quiet Waters with what he referred to as “an additional donation” of $1,238 “in the name of the La Jolla Town Council.”

LJTC trustees were not notified in advance of this additional donation to Quiet Waters (beyond the initial 10 percent it received), nor allowed to vote on it as they had the other beneficiaries.

Addressing meeting attendees May 8, Town Council President Haskins said he had been contacted by members of the Town Council and the community, who expressed concern after reading about the additional donation to Warriors and Quiet Waters in another local newspaper.

“This is something that really needs to be dealt with,” Haskins said May 8. “No matter what actions we need to take, we need to take them to maintain the integrity of this organization.”

Quiet Waters: The fourth beneficiary In July of 2013, the LJTC board voted that any proceeds from the event would be split between three La Jolla organizations

(including the LJTC). Quiet Waters was added as a fourth beneficiary during the next month’s meeting, following a plea from Gardner and a presentation from San Diegan Clifford Myers of Quiet Waters (who accepted the check for the additional donation last month).

At the time, LJTC trustee Glenda Rothberg questioned whether such a vote followed LJTC bylaw procedures, particularly given that Quiet Waters received the fewest trustee votes during the July, 2013 meeting. (Two other causes that were not selected, including San Diego-based Voices for Children, each received one more vote than Quiet Waters.)

“I’m trying to figure out how it jumped the line,” Rothberg questioned.

At the time, Gardner (then first vicepresident and part of LJTC’s executive committee) said the executive committee was asking trustees to include Quiet Waters to help salvage the event, which she said had lost sponsors and dancers since the three local beneficiaries were announced.

Gardner told the Light the event’s celebrity judge and emcee suggested to her that people wouldn’t donate to La Jolla projects, and that a beneficiary that could “tug at the heartstrings” was required to sell tickets.

LJTC Secretary Charles Hartford, himself a wounded veteran who did not vote to include Quiet Waters as a beneficiary, said during the May 8 meeting he was disappointed to seek Gardner’s removal, but felt it was “the right thing to do.”

“I made it clear to members of this body, and to the event committee, that I thought

any proceeds should be directed to La Jolla’s specific needs and not to a wounded veteran organization; that is my opinion still,” Hartford said.

“It was extremely troubling to see the report of an additional donation to Quiet Waters made in the name of the La Jolla Town Council this past week … in lieu of other deserving — and local — charities, such as Voices for Children. … I personally have no reason to believe anything else but that the Quiet Waters charity provides a great service to wounded veterans, but they’re in Bozeman, Montana, teaching flyfishing.

“Closer to home we have many welldeserving organizations that can serve our veterans and our military.”

Hartford further alluded to what trustees see as Gardner’s failure as event chair to provide a financial report for the event in a timely manner — something required of past event chairs and which Haskins and other trustees say the LJTC has yet to receive.

“We rightly expected transparent reporting and accountability from the trustee who was self-appointed and solely responsible (for the event),” Hartford said.

“In (event) committee meetings, in our public meetings and in our executive meetings we made that need abundantly clear.

“In fact, the lack of transparency and financial accountability led to the resignation and exit from the committee of several trustees,” including original event chair and recently deceased trustee Rob Hildt

City cites owner of partially developed Soledad Ave. property

By Pat Sherman he San Diego City Attorney’s office has filed charges against the owner of an ocean-view La Jolla property that has remained in an unfinished state of development for approximately eight years.

Several neighbors of the property at 1855 Soledad Ave. phoned La Jolla Light to complain about the unsightly concrete and wood skeleton protruding from the lot.

Neighbor Michael Dessent, who also complained to the office of District 1 City Council member Sherri Lightner, said the property is an “unattractive nuisance,” and, given the recent warm weather, a potential fire hazard.

“They finally put up a fence, but the tarp is blowing all over the place,” Dessent said.

“It’s really a dump; it just sits there year after year.”

Dessent and another neighbor, Natalie Schmidt, both said several offers were made on the property, including one from a neighbor, though they were not accepted.

“That’s pretty upsetting,” Schmidt said. “(The property) is just so ugly and an embarrassment.”

Lynda Pfeifer with the city’s development services department said that on Sept. 16, 2013 the city’s code enforcement unit issued a citation to owner George Papas for active construction without a permit. Since no action was taken, the matter was forwarded to the city attorney’s office.

New book reminds us, ‘we are animals,’ says local author

By Kristina Houck hat makes us behave a certain way? Ron Newby, a retired researcher at the Salk Institute in La Jolla and resident of Del Mar, discusses the human evolutionary path, brain, traits and behaviors in a new book, “Homo sapiens: A Liberal’s Perspective.”

“I’ve always been curious about human behavior and why we do what we do,” said Newby, 76, who added he Ron Newby is the wrote the book last year, but he author of ‘Homo came up with the concept sapiens: A Liberal’s when he was in his 20s.

Prospective.’ Courtesy A California native, Newby earned degrees in botany and analytical biology at UC Santa Barbara before moving to San Diego in 1965. A self-proclaimed atheist, his book explores politics, religion and topics such as overpopulation, wealth inequality and climate change.

“I’m very concerned we don’t realize we are animals. We just think we’re something special,” Newby said. “We’ve even added an ‘e’ to ‘human’ to make it ‘humane.’ Some of us are very humane. Some of us are brutal and without compassion. We’ve had wars and we’ve had slavery and we’ve had torture. There’s a lot of potential disasters ahead of us, but we get polarized because we’re tribal animals.”

Released late March, Newby wrote the book in seven months with only three days off during that stretch of time.

“It’s important to have this conversation,” he said. “It’s important for people to realize we are tribal animals. It may give us a different perspective. Rather than shouting at each other, maybe we can start to think about solving some of the urgent problems of the world.” u

W George Papas, owner of the 1855 Soledad Ave. property, has been charged with a misdemeanor violation of San Diego Municipal Code for failing to renew an outdated development permit, which carries a potential penalty of a $1,000 fine or six months in jail. Photos by Pat Sherman misdemeanor violation of San Diego Municipal Code for failing to renew an outdated development permit (which carries a potential penalty of a $1,000 fine or six months in jail).

According to the city’s complaint, the owner “did unlawfully fail to obtain a new building permit within 90 calendar days from the date of a written notice from the city, to diligently pursue the work to completion, and remove and demolish the (existing) building within 180 calendar days from the date of the

written notice.”

Papas did not return a call to the Light seeking comment on the property or his plans. According to Thomas Mitchell in the city attorney’s office, Papas pleaded “not guilty” to the charges on May 1. A readiness hearing is set for June 12. The owner has been given the option of completing the construction, demolishing or selling. Property records show the .29acre, oceanfront property, with a home originally built in 1953, last sold in 2003 for $1.4 million. u

OBITUARIES

David Raphael Singer 1938 – 2014

David Singer, a noted San Diego architect, died at his home in La Jolla, CA, after a long battle with multiple myeloma on Thursday, May 1, 2014. David was 76 years old.

David grew up on Long Island, NY. He grew up playing the viola in the family band, exhibited his work ethic early, selling newspapers at the train station and frequently listened to New York Giant games on the radio. He graduated from University of Pennsylvania studying architecture under Louis Kahn. David was very supportive of the civil rights movement and attended the March on Washington and Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech in 1963.

David’s love and commitment to family was central to who he was. In fact, David was the family genealogist and flew across the globe interviewing relatives in South Africa, Argentina, and Israel weaving together the disparate anecdotal histories into a coherent family story.

David married Sandra Clothier and they had twin boys, Gidon and Nathanael.

The young family took a road trip west across the continent in a customized black Chevy Sportsman visiting National Parks,

Anasazi Indian sites, notable architecture, and friends and family.

They parked the van nine months later when the asphalt turned to sand at the end of the road along the coastal bluffs of La Jolla, the year was 1969.

David later married Marie Murphy. Marie, a music loving teacher, had a strong influence on David, helping him pull away from the demands at the office to jog, ski, travel, see the grandchildren, and provided a musical soundtrack inside their home.

A resident of La Jolla for the last 45 years, David’s architectural practice received awards for his residential, commercial and non-profit institutional projects.

David’s office designed the original and current Museum of Photographic Arts and the San Diego Art Institute in Balboa Park; renovations and additions to the Athenmaeum Music and Arts Library in La Jolla; the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s original downtown space; adjacent trolley stop; and San Diego’s Temple Emanu-El. His office also designed numerous homes in San Diego, La Jolla in particular, ranging from modest renovations/additions to new contemporary houses.

David approached each project openly, letting the site constraints and client’s programmatic desires dictate his design approach. Natural light and ventilation, simplicity, and a sense of place were also important factors in his designs.

David was a founding member of the La Jolla Coastal Conservancy, helping preserve the unique La Jolla coastline; Board Member of the Mingei International Museum of Folk Art; Board Member of Installation

Gallery / inSite 93 & 97, which worked to foster better understanding of San Diego – Tijuana border issues; Member of the Public Art Committee for the San Diego Commission of Arts & Culture; and CoChair of the La Jolla Town Council Part & Beaches Committee.

He was a fantastic father, sibling, husband, uncle, grandfather and a mentor to many. He was always there, listening first, and then giving you his own distinct and informed opinion. He was a good, honest, gentle, yet strong man. He will be missed.

David is survived by his two sons, Gidon (Christine) and Nathanael (Stacy); four grandchildren, Taylor, Corten, Elory and Elias; five siblings, Naomi, Aharon, Miriam, Rachelle and Deborah spread out from San Diego to Israel.

Howard Joseph Barnhorst 1948 – 2014

Few enjoyed life so much as Howard Joseph Barnhorst, who found himself in San Diego with the girl of his dreams and a life of pleasure and good fortune beyond what a small-town kid from Kokomo, Indiana, could have ever imagined.

Howard was fond of telling

anyone who would listen that the biological odds of each of us actually existing was something like one in 470 trillion, so just by being alive we had already won the “cosmic lottery.”

Howard was born on October 19, 1948, to Helen (nee Killilea) and Howard Barnhorst of Indianapolis, Indiana. He grew up with his four younger siblings, Beth, Nancy, Brian and the late Noreen. True to his Hoosier roots, Howard was a self-described hoops legend on the courts of Kokomo High and an underrated knuckleballer in the little leagues. He spent the hot Indiana summers working in the steel mills and sensed that a different life beckoned.

After high school, Howard enrolled at Indiana University at Bloomington where he majored in history, minored in Russian literature, and nurtured his poetic aspirations. He joined the SAE fraternity and was active in campus politics and leadership.

But his most significant college achievement was falling in love with his future wife, Margery Ann “Marnie” Wright in early 1970. Confident in his impeccable taste, he proposed within two weeks and they were married that summer. Forty-four years later, Marnie and Barney’s love remains an inspiration for all who knew them – from their children’s high school friends to their septuagenarian contemporaries.

After college, Howard traveled to Europe with Marnie and spent a year living in a VW van at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens, soaking up ancient history and writing poetry.

A souvlaki in the oven brought the lovebirds back to California in 1972, where they’ve been ever since.

Practicality got the better of his poetic

aspirations and Howard enrolled at University of San Diego School of Law. He was hired as a law clerk at Seltzer Caplan and stayed on as a lawyer after graduating in 1975.

Howard struck out on his own in 1978 and enjoyed a distinguished legal career managing his own firms for twenty- three years, including Dorazio, Barnhorst, Goldsmith & Bonar, before returning to Seltzer Caplan in 2001.

For nearly three decades, Howard and Marnie raised their family of four children in Point Loma, where their house was a welcoming second home for many family members, friends and international visitors. Their large dining room table was often packed with guests for Sunday family dinners. On weekends, Howard enjoyed running, taking family hunting trips, coaching his children’s sports teams, and playing tennis.

And Howard obsessed over golf, devoting hours to learning the game’s picayune rules and mastering its skill set to the delight of his playing partners and the chagrin of their opponents. He treasured his golf trips to Scotland with buddies, where he played the world’s oldest courses and drank the world’s oldest Scotch. Howard made his family promise to include in his obituary that he birdied the Road Hole at Saint Andrews and the 16th hole at Cypress Point.

Howard and Marnie moved to La Jolla in 2002, where they built their dream home up on the hill.

The move brought Howard proximity to his beloved La Jolla Country Club and a gourmet kitchen where he cooked up a storm while simultaneously entertaining his guests. It also brought a new group of wonderful friends with whom Howard could share

his storytelling talents.

He served on the board at La Jolla Country Club and San Diego Hospice, and was thrilled when he was invited to join the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, the world’s greatest excuse to drink more burgundy. He and Marnie traveled extensively with family and dear friends, but Howard often remarked that La Jolla was as beautiful a place as any he’d ever seen.

Howard’s joie de vivre and warm golden charm brightened every person he encountered. The twinkle in his eye revealed his appreciation for just how lucky we all are to be here.

In one of his last moments, smiling and looking toward the ocean, the small-town kid from Indiana remarked that he never could have imagined there was a world as wonderful as the one he got the chance to live in. Howard died just before sunset on April 30, 2014, at home with family after a five-year battle with prostate cancer.

Howard is survived by his wife, Marnie; and their four children, Kiley Barnhorst (Rick) MacDonald of La Jolla, Amy Barnhorst Dixson (Scott Fischbein) of Sacramento, Zachary Barnhorst of La Jolla, and Nicholas Barnhorst (Lori Bergamotto) of New York City. He is also survived by seven grandchildren he adored, Lachlan, Marjorie and Tucker MacDonald, Zoe and Lila Dixson, and Gemma and Leo Howard Barnhorst.

Donations may be made in memory of Howard Barnhorst to the hospice program at: Scripps Health Foundation, PO Box 2669, La Jolla, CA 92038, 858678-6340.

From Cinema, A1 five Southern California Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas (including locations in Del Mar and La Costa) that Fastlicht and Wellman helped develop and launch in 2011, before parting ways with the company in January 2013 to start their own stateside cinema chain.

“I knew them well,” Fastlicht said of his short-lived partnership with Cinépolis, which were his direct competitors in the Mexican theater industry during the ’90s.

“I knew that they had embarked on a world expansion outside of Mexico and they had by then had a presence in India, Brazil and Latin America. … I was looking for potential investors and it made sense.”

Without wanting to give away “too many surprises,” Fastlicht added, “I think we have the benefit of knowing what we did (with Cinépolis) that worked well, what we did not do well and can hopefully capitalize on that to make this iteration a better model of that concept.”

Boffo, a movie industry term for a box-office success, plans to screen first-run blockbusters, as well as art films and foreign pictures.

“We anticipate working with all the studios,” Fastlicht said. “Obviously, each theater location — La Jolla in particular — has to play to its market, and the La Jolla market is an educated, affluent and a family market.”

Though there are three other theater complexes in the La Jolla area — a 12-screen AMC Theatre at La Jolla Village Square mall, an 11-screen ArcLight franchise at Westfield UTC mall and the no-frills, four-screen Landmark La Jolla Village Cinemas (whose owners have, to date, denied rumors they are closing) — Fastlicht said the first Boffo Cinema (which may open under a different name than the company’s title) will differentiate itself in ambiance, décor and purpose.

“These will be intimate theaters and very well designed — contemporary, but at the same time warm and inviting,” Fastlicht said. “It’s about convenience, it’s about intimacy, it’s about service.”

“(Our plan) is not to convert the Village into the Gaslamp, because it never should be that,” Fastlicht stressed. “We don’t envision ourselves being a theater for San Diego, because it doesn’t have the right location or the right size.”

Movie-going magic touch

Interior of a Cinemex luxury theater in Mexico. Adolfo Fastlicht founded the Cinemex chain in 1993, then sold the theaters to Canada’s Onex Corp. in 2002. Courtesy Wellman said Boffo Cinemas and its partners envision making the space available for community and school events, or groups such as La Jolla Village Merchants Association, whenever possible.

“We will be very involved, as will our company, in community events, not only potentially with nonprofit charitable organizations, but also with fundraising events for the benefit of the community,” Fastlicht added. “We have envisioned doing expositions or decorating part of our lobbies and public area with art. That might (involve) local artists or local galleries.”

Fastlicht said he hopes to hire workers who live in or around La Jolla, and that he envisions his primary audience to be those who live or work here.

He said he sees Boffo Cinemas as part of an ongoing Village transformation that includes the addition of restaurants such as Puesto, Herringbone and the recently remodeled Café La Rue, and the ongoing renovation of Top of the Cove restaurant and development of the upscale La Plaza La Jolla shopping complex on Wall Street.

According to the National Association of Theatre Owners (the largest movie exhibition trade organization in the world), as of July 2013 there were 39,056 indoor screens at 5,317 sites in the United States.

“According to our numbers,” Fastlicht said, “there are probably about 200 to 250 locations with probably 2,500 screens throughout the U.S. that could be characterized or considered as premium theaters.”

Fastlicht said any growth in the $10.5 billion to $10.8 billion annual revenue from domestic box office sales is largely due to an increase in ticket prices and not an increase in moviegoers. “It’s considered a mature industry,” he said.

“However, the segment of the premium cinemas is a segment that is witnessing interesting growth. …

“There are other companies doing this in other cities and other states ... but we like to boast that the theaters that we’ve done are probably among the best that have been done in this category,” Fastlicht said. “But at the end of the day … customers will be the judges.”

Will La Jolla’s new cinema (scheduled to open sometime between February and summer of 2015) include touches of their native Mexico? “Yes,” Wellman said, with a laugh. “It’s embedded in our DNA.” “We love our heritage and we love our culture,” Fastlicht added, noting that he also hopes to replicate the operational structure of successful Mexican business models, where Wellman said, “service is critical.”

Fastlicht said his relationship with the family of Dallo Enterprises is off to a “fantastic” start.

“We’re thrilled to have them as our landlords,” he said.

“It’s really been a great relationship that we’ve struck. We’ve been working at it now for a long time and we’re extremely happy about what we’ve achieved.” u

From Lifeguard Towers, A1 is positioned in a way to not just provide lifeguard services to the pool itself … but provide direct observation to the north at Boomer Beach, which is a high rescue activity area, and to the south to Hospital Point and the satellite beaches there. It’s centrally located to provide that coverage,” said San Diego Lifeguard Captain Nick Lerma.

Given the view, a lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool was deemed necessary when towers started popping up across San Diego.

Former lifeguard Captain Bob Shea said towers were built during the Great Depression to give people jobs, and estimates the first Children’s Pool tower went up in the early 1930s. He based that on stories from his father, who was one of the first lifeguards stationed at the Children’s Pool and The Cove.

Sea wall changes Around the same time (1931), the Children’s Pool sea wall was constructed, creating comparatively calm waters for inexperienced swimmers and giving a lifeguard stationed there an additional task.

Swimmers reached the ocean via a staircase.

“There used to be scuppers at the western end of the sea-wall at the ground level that allowed a flow of water to come in there during the winter storms and wash the sand away to keep the Pool from accumulating sand,” Shea said.

A sad, fateful day

changed at Children’s Pool. Shea said one summer, a child was swimming through one of the scuppers — as they often did — and got their bathing suit caught, and was drowned.

“The city was forced to put cement (in the

scuppers) and stop that flow, which allowed sand to accumulate to where it is now,” he said. “There used to be quite a swimming area, but now it’s practically nothing.”

Lerma added, “It changed the whole

dynamic because the sand was no longer being flushed and it was no longer a pool. It would give rise over time to be a place that would be safe for harbor seals.”

career — he was the first permanent guard at the Children’s Pool at a time when guards moved station to station — a new lifeguard tower was constructed. Considering the increased volume of equipment required due to increased responsibilities, a larger facility was needed.

Though unofficial, lifeguards kept a checklist of things a new tower would need to have, chiefly, an observation tower with a complete view of the water, enough space for the increasing number of full time lifeguards, larger storage area for equipment and an improved first aid room.

Further, because of the “extreme” rescues that were occurring, the new facility had to allow easy access for lifeguards to exit the facility when needed.

For example, Lerma said, when people would fall from the Wedding Bowl, unprepared to be in the water. “The lifeguards at Children’s Pool will see that and it is an absolute emergency from the beginning,” he said.

Further, there are sections of beach that lifeguards cannot entirely see from the tower, so instead of watching someone enter the water and keeping an eye on them, “suddenly somebody presents themselves in a rip current, and you really have to be on it.

You don’t have time to react,” he said.

Contrast that with a Mission Beach rip current situation, where Lerma said, “all the signs are there, we’ve prepared for it, we know beforehand swimmers are desperate to be rescued and our system is already moving.”

Joking that sand found at other beaches is “more forgiving” than the rocks, reefs and

barnacles found at Children’s Pool, Lerma said topography can thwart lifeguards attempting a rescue.

“Lifeguards tend to be challenged with the environment itself (at Children’s Pool),” he said. “It’s a different style of lifeguarding entirely. On a sandy beach, you can see the rip current and when somebody enters the water, drowning prevention is a lot easier.

That’s not the case at Children’s Pool.”

Med Tech training In the 1980s, lifeguards were required to complete Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification, and as Lerma said, “With that certification comes all that equipment,” once again adding to what had to be available on site.

The 1960s tower, which was rehabilitated in the 1970s, was demolished in August 2013 to make room for the new tower at the site.

Taking increased storage space and quick exits into account; construction will begin on the new tower in early June.

Jihad Sleiman, associate engineer for the City of San Diego, recently reported the city is obtaining an Incidental Harassment Authorization Permit so work may proceed even if seals are present.

He said crews plan to be done with major construction activities by December, when the next pupping season starts, and have lifeguards moved in by January or February 2015. u — Coming next week: The history of changes to The Cove Lifeguard Tower in the May 22 issue of La Jolla Light.

Princess for a Day

La Jolla girl takes Disney Cruise with Make-A-Wish

By Ashley Mackin nce upon a time, there was a little girl named Alejandra Sahagun-Gonzales, but her family calls her Alé, and she was very scared of hospitals and needles.

But Alé had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, so she regularly visited Rady Children’s Hospital.

To help her feel better, her parents, temporary La Jolla residents Santiago and Alejandra (she shares the same name with her daughter), made up a special story.

“We told her we were going to a big castle with other princesses and she would get a magic potion that would make her strong,” mom Alejandra said of her 5-yearold daughter’s chemotherapy.

Doctors installed a port to her daughter’s heart as a method of delivering the medicine, so she would not have to be repeatedly poked with a needle.

While undergoing treatment, the Sahagun-Gonzaleses connected with Make-A-Wish San Diego, which offered to make one of Alé’s wishes come true. “They said she

could do whatever she wanted and she chose the Disney Cruise,” Sahagun-Gonzales said.

Shyly hiding behind a “Sophia The First” coloring book, Alé said her favorite part of the cruise was swimming in the pool and meeting princesses like Cinderella and Belle from “Beauty and the Beast.”

“These kids suffer and go through so much; they deservetrips like this,” Sahagun-Gonzales said.

The family took the cruise in May 2013 and one year later, Alé is undergoing her final rounds of treatment. She had her last chemotherapy session May 7, and the port to her heart was removed.

“We’re at the end of the road,” her mother said.

Alé was diagnosed in 2012, at age 2, at which time the family moved from Mexico to La Jolla, so she could undergo treatment.

“We’ve loved it here and we’ve tried to make it like a vacation for her,” Sahagun-Gonzales said.

When her treatment is complete, the family — that includes sisters Luiza, 1, and Ivanna, 3, — will

return home.

Her spirits have been noticeably lifted from this experience, reports Alé’s mother, and she wouldn’t be the only one. Make-A-Wish San Diego statistics state that 99 percent of parents with Wish children report the Wish experience gave their child increased feelings of happiness.

Further, 89 percent of doctors, nurses and social workers surveyed believe the Wish experience positively influences Wish kids’ health.

Sarah Woo, communications intern with Make-A-Wish, said, “Although it is the common perception that Make-A-Wish is a wish-granting organization treating only the terminally-ill, our mission statement and eligibility requirements extend our reach to those medically eligible children who have life-threatening illnesses.” The child’s physician determines whether they are medically eligible to receive a Wish.

Estate jewelry broker says diamonds are forever investments

By Marti Gacioch While a new luxury car drops in value every year, investment-grade diamonds are forever and should hold a solid place in estate planning, said Carl Blackburn, owner of Diamond Estate Jewelry Buyers in La Jolla.

“Investment-grade diamonds can be as small as 1 carat but extremely valuable due to their rarity (such as a natural fancy pink diamond) or they can be larger diamonds over 3 carats, where the rarity is due to the scarcity of these sizes. Investment-grade diamonds may go up 1- to 2-percent per year, depending on size, color and quality.”

Blackburn, in the jewelry business since 1993, said he learned about selling estate and antique jewelry from his father, Charles.

Blackburn began by selling everything from a $200 antique ring to a $20,000 signed, estate piece. He later partnered with the owner of San Diego Jewelry buyers before launching his own solo business in 2007.

In July 2013, Blackburn launched a new business service becoming a high-end diamond and Swiss timepiece broker for both sellers and buyers.

“When clients bring large diamonds and high-grade Swiss timepieces to sell, I act as a broker by first appraising their items properly and offering them the best possible

Large diamonds (more than 3 carats) are considered viable long-term investments in addition to becoming treasured family heirlooms to be passed down through generations, said Carl Blackburn, owner of Diamond Estate Jewelry Buyers.

because of my many contacts and reputation in this industry.”

Blackburn can get credit of up to a halfmillion dollars on a single item, a key factor

for clients seeking a broker with the ability to present them with several large ticket options to choose from. He doesn’t handle jewelry worth less than $5,000, and primarily closes deals on pieces worth $50,000 or more.

“I just recently brokered a 10.5 carat cushion cut diamond worth $150,000,” Blackburn said. “If I obtain someone a Rolex for $5,000 or $10,000, I typically charge 10 percent for that service.

“When you buy a brand new luxury automobile, every mile you put on that car will cost you, but an investment grade diamond that costs you $100,000 keeps going up in value and it’s worth more every year. When you buy estate jewelry, you avoid paying the full retail price of new jewelry. You can spend your money more wisely by buying your family heirlooms in this fashion.” u n Diamond Estate Jewelry Buyers, President/Owner Carl Blackburn, 864 Prospect St., Suite A, La Jolla.

Opera, Singers Union work to save company

S

an Diego Opera and the American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA) — the union representing the Opera’s soloists, choristers, dancers, choreographers, directors and stage management personnel — have announced plans to work together for a newly revived, vibrant opera company.

Following the March 19 announcement of San Diego Opera’s closure, AGMA formally inquired about the Opera’s intentions to honor contracts which the Opera had signed with 35 solo singers at least a year, in some cases two years, in advance. AGMA then filed suit in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order (TRO) compelling the Company to honor its contractual agreement to arbitrate.

San Diego Opera’s board of directors met in April to explore alternatives to closing the Opera, which had been slated for April 29.

With the Company reconsidering its planned closure and opening a productive dialogue with AGMA, the union withdrew its request for a TRO and is working cooperatively with the Company towards a productive 2015 season and beyond.

When San Diego Opera’s management first announced its intent to shutter the Company and sell off its assets, the original

closure date was April 14, 2014, the day after the Company’s final sold-out performance of “Don Quixote.”

A board vote on March 31 delayed the closure by two weeks until April 29. Another vote by the board on April 18 extended that closure date to at least May 19, 2014.

How opera lovers can help The Company is currently fundraising for a 2015 season that it hopes to announce shortly. On April 25, the Company announced a crowd-funding campaign with a $1 million goal, utilizing an escrow account designed to protect donor contributions if the goal is not met, or a 2015 performing season is not announced.

In 12 days of fundraising the Company has raised more than $800,000 in donations, ranging from $10 to $50,000 (42 percent of these donations have been from first-time donors).

Tax-deductible donations restricted to the 2015 season can be made at (619) 533-7000 (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) or sdopera.com/moveforward San Diego Opera is also accepting unrestricted tax-deductible donations for the 2014 season. u

A much appreciated random act of kindness

I was “rescued” by a young lady named Meagan on Thursday, May 8, while a helicopter hovered up above. I was riding my bicycle up La Jolla Shores Drive when my chain came off.

Meagan had just pulled up alongside me and parked. I asked her if she had something I could use to fix it — I didn’t want to get my hands dirty — I was off to photograph the President of the Meagan United States.

Meagan leapt out of her car and put my chain back on. I was really glad, but I felt terrible, as her fingers were now all full of oil. So, I told her that I was a writer and that I would tell everyone that she came to my rescue.

Thanks Meagan!

On behalf of the Cape La Jolla Gardens Community, I would like to thank you for your excellent reporting on the trolley crossing issue.

As you may know, the matter was resolved on Friday by the SANDAG board, and the crossing was returned to our preferred position. I am certain that much of the reason for this decision is that the community was well informed on the issues and mobilized by insightful reporting like that of your work in the La Jolla Light.

I am also certain that you have gained a lot of loyal readers. I think I better appreciate the value of good investigative journalism and its importance in keeping our governmental officials aware of our concerns.

Thanks and best regards, Michael N. Krupp, Ph.D. La Jolla

Guest Commentary concerning land-use planning, beautification, traffic, parks, beaches, crime and many other vital concerns of our community.

It was 64 years ago that 37 different groups joined together to form the Town Council.

These groups included the Chamber of Commerce, Merchants Association, Hotel Owners Association, Civic League, Planning Council and the Conservation Society, to name a few. This was done in an effort to have our concerns heard by the San Diego City Council.

In the intervening years, our concerns have indeed been heard, and many important initiatives have been given life right from the voting floor of La Jolla Town Council.

A dynamic year is underway. Thanks to our newly-elected First Vice President Glenda Rothberg, our Membership Drive is already in full swing. Do you volunteer in the community on a regular basis? Talk to the Town Council

about a subsidized or gratis membership as thanks for your efforts.

This fall, a free, community Town Council Carnival, will be underwritten by our friends at BNY Mellon. Our partnerships with the La Jolla Newcomers Club, San Diego Chamber of Commerce, EEOC, La Jolla Village Merchants Association, San Diego Association of Realtors, Kiwanis and San Diego Community Council Coalition are all thriving.

Many interesting Distinguished Speakers on the 2014 docket include elected officials and representatives from United Nations Association of San Diego, San Diego Veterans Administration, and the San Diego Fire Chiefs Association.

Looking ahead to 2015, we will celebrate our 65th anniversary in tandem with the 100th anniversary of our public meeting home, the La Jolla Recreation Center.

In conclusion, I thank my colleagues on the Town Council Board, and those chairing our joint- and sub-committees. I look forward to working with you on an ongoing basis. u

‘Tarnishing Our Jewel’ is a priceless feature

La Jollans need patience, tolerance and gratitude Residents of La Jolla, you have what some would call “white man’s problems” and need a little reality check. Noise, smell, construction — these things occur in paradise, too. Shores residents are upset that the city needs to repair storm drainage on Avenida de la Playa, that the project has been delayed and SDG&E must move gas and electric lines.

Would you rather have drainage backed up into your home or how about a gas line leak that explodes outside your front doors? Should the city check everyone’s calendars to coordinate its next major construction job?

What would be the difference if you had 48-hours or four-months’ notice?

Residents overlooking the ocean with some of the most beautiful views and expensive properties in the world — have you never heard of marine mammals and birds? Do you think your distinguished property is exempt from their habitat and excrement? Has it occurred to you that loss of habitat is one reason animals must congregate in one small space? These animals have been here far longer than people.

Residents surrounding the La Jolla YMCA have petitioned that the Y immediately “prohibit the use of the basketball court(s), Astroturf area and other open space west of the

Y buildings for any use … and dismantle the sport court area.”

It is beyond my imagination which residents could be so up in arms about so little noise to render repeated complaints. The Y is a pillar of the community that promotes fellowship, leadership, wellness and health, offering children and adults of all ages a gathering place.

The Y has taken measures to rearrange facilities, even make expenditures from its shoestring budget to reduce noise and moved camp programs off-site, the latter being a hardship for working families and single parents. Children need a safe haven to play, learn, run, socialize; families need affordable options. What’s next?

A gag order for neighboring Torrey Pines Elementary? No talking while outdoors? How about a group of teenage thugs roaming the streets blasting car stereos or hanging on the street corner with no alternatives?

And who remembers all the complaints about cranes and equipment disrupting the residents’ views as Scripps added facilities in the La Jolla Shores area? Were it not for Scripps, La Jolla wouldn’t be on the map, let alone an icon of scientific research.

La Jollans, take a vacation in Ukraine or Tajikistan, or east LA, get out of your little bubble and see what the rest of world complains about. You want peace and complete silence? Cash in your estates and move to the desert or the tundra. It’s just as beautiful with no people, seals, bulldozers, and traffic; just polar bears or tumbleweeds. How about a little more gratitude and a little less whining?

I wrote some time ago about the trash, poor

maintenance and broken planters at the AT&T switch station on the corner of Girard Avenue and Torrey Pines Road. The Light wrote me back and said they were “on it.” You sure were. It is now beautiful. The planters were repaired, plants put in, and care all around has improved. I never wrote a proper thank you, but every time I walk by I think of your civic follow-through and standards for our Village. Thank you.

Now, back to advertising on the sidewalk right-of-ways and those pesky, cheap flag signs.

I saw one this morning at the new pancake house. If a business has great eye appeal, open or closed, great professional signing, and their own standards, these cheap tricks are not needed.

Keep at it, La Jolla Light! We need you!

Girl Scouts earn award for ranch project Girl Scout Troop 3048 went to the Wild West Camp, Rawhide Ranch in Bonsall, recently, to earn their Silver Award by refurbishing the front of the Horse Palace.

The girls, all seventh-graders at Muirlands Middle School, learned how to manage a project through the experience. First, they interviewed the ranch manager, Koop, and toured the ranch to see which project was best for them. Then they collected a list of materials, tools and skilled labor needed. After that, the Girl Scouts lined up their skilled labor, organized everybody into work groups, and raised money for their materials.

Over the course of an evening and a day they: repainted horse railings, cleaned and repainted black lanterns, replaced rotting siding, primed and repainted the whole front side of the Horse Palace, cleared the garden of weeds, pruned, and replaced and repainted the railings.

At Rawhide Ranch kids can interact with animals, such as goats, sheep and potbelly pigs. They also get to sleep in a teepee, fort or covered wagon, and be surrounded by old Western architecture.

Campers here can ride and vault on rescued and rehabilitated horses. The Horse Palace, their huge arena, is used for vaulting and barrel racing and is the main part of camp. u Scouts Kayla Nitahara and Carolee Hagey

La Jolla Youth Baseball heads into championships

By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball

Kinsey Casdin shows off his home-run ball — the only one hit over the fence in Pinto. Courtesy

Playoffs are Saturday, May 17 at Cliffridge Park.

Win or go home. Pinto plays single elimination, while Mustang and Bronco prefer the doubleelimination format.

In Pinto, Baxter Foundation finished the regular season on top led by manager Bob Uslander. SD Storage, CValdo and Voices for Children are bunched up for second place. RBS, Rotary Club, Cottage Insurance, Party City, Natural High and Red Door Interactive will all have a shot at the hardware. As Natural High manager Jon Graff said, “anything can happen in Pinto” — and upsets are the common. Kinsey Casdin hit the only over-the-fence home run in Pinto. The crowd roared, as it did when “Solo” Weinstein got his first hit for Cottage Insurance. Natural High’s Van Sundt got a rousing applause with his big RBI. The Pinto Championship game is 9 a.m.

With 10 teams playing a double elimination format, Mustang got an early start with playoffs.

The secret is to stay in the winners bracket for four games and a championship. Lose a game at thy peril for it may take up to six games — and a lot of pitching — to claw back to the Saturday double header.

Top seeds have already been upset as Alexandria Real Estate learned the hard way in their opening game. The play of the season happened at the perfect time for No. 9 seed Merrill Lynch against No. 4 RAK. Underdog, Beastie Bulls, were protecting a 13-10 lead in the final inning but RAK had the bases loaded with no outs. The batter hit a line drive to Hunter Kates at shortstop, who steps on second base and relay to first — triple play! Game over and RAK heads to the losers bracket. (Base-running tip: Freeze on a line drive!)

Home runs at the end of the season were hit by Jacob Campagna, Nathan Latimer (leads LJYB with five, including a ‘Home Run Cycle’), Jackson Stratton (third), Jack Boynton and Johnny Leutzow. The Mustang Championship game is 9

a.m. with a possible double header.

In Bronco, Performance Titanium earned the top seed in their four-team double-elimination playoffs and played their first game on Monday against Mitch’s Surf Shop. Pharmatek squared off against Morgan Stanley on Tuesday. Last week, Marcus Scott had a ‘Double Dinger Day’ with a two-run homer followed by a grand slam for 6 RBIs in Pharmatek’s win against Morgan Stanley.

He and Matt Stone led Bronco in HRs with three apiece. The Bronco Championship game will be played at 1 p.m. with a possible double header.

The Pony Division continues their regular season through this week. They will participate in the SD Pony Inter-League Playoffs next week with semi-final and Championship games being played at Tecolote during the Memorial Day Tournament. Both teams are in the middle of the pack with Aladdin posting an 8-8 record and Las Patronas trailing them with a 7-9 record. Jared Littlefield recently hit his second homer to tie Cary Perket with two apiece. u

From Town Council, A5 (who trustees say resigned from the event and LJTC board due to friction with Gardner), and trustee Charles M. Schevker, who designed the event website and its online credit card payment mechanism.

LJTC First Vice-president Rothberg made the motion May 8 that a vote be taken by mail ballot of the entire LJTC membership “for the purpose of seeking the removal of Nancy Gardner as a trustee of the La Jolla Town Council.”

“This is required because trustee Gardner has violated the binding public vote of the Town Council,” Rothberg’s motion stated.

“She publically represented that she was representing the La Jolla Town Council when she recently presented a donation to an organization (Quiet Waters). In presenting this donation she acted solely and individually without the required voting approval of the Town Council.”

Gardner insisted that it was not her decision to present Quiet Waters with additional monies.

“I got a phone call from the Police Historical Association telling me what they were going to do,” she said (which Willard confirmed). “I was (present) when it was discussed at their board and I did hear their attorney say (the Parade’s donation to the LJTC) could be considered money laundering, but I had no voice in it. I didn’t know anything about it.”

Kerr Bache questioned “Why did you choose to present it at REBA instead of coming back to the Town Council and telling us?”

Gardner read the following statement from the SDPHA regarding the additional Quiet Waters donation: “Upon review of the finances of the La Jolla Dancing with the Stars event we discovered an un-cashed check of $1,238 made payable to the La Jolla Parade Foundation. Upon further inquiry it was discovered that while the check had been made to the parade foundation, they had agreed to provide that money to the La Jolla Town Council.

“After conferring with our legal advisors as to how to proceed in a manner that was

for SDPD’s Northern Division (which serves La Jolla), will also be in attendance. n Appointments/time change: Trustees voted to elect trustee Yolanda de Riquer as LJTC’s representative to the Coastal Access and Parking Board, and Henry Chiu as its representative to the Development Permit Review committee. In addition, trustees voted to move La Jolla’s Traffic and Transportation committee meetings from the fourth Thursday of the month to the third Thursday of the month (as did the La Jolla Community Planning Association in April).

Representing 52nd District Congressmember and La Jolla resident Scott Peters, Sarah Czarnecki presents a certificate of ‘special congressional recognition’ to Dean and Steve Haskins for the father-and-son duo’s service as presidents of the La Jolla Town Council. Pat Sherman legal, ethical and oriented to the original intent of the event — to raise money for Warriors and Quiet Waters (‘and others in the community,’ Gardner added while reading the letter) — we became deeply concerned about the appearance of such a transaction. To some it could appear as though there was an effort to use the 501(c)3 nonprofit status of the Parade Foundation to disguise a financial contribution to the La Jolla Town Council, a 501(c) 6 organization. Under the United States Internal Revenue Code a 501(c)6 organization is tax exempt, however donations to such an organization are not tax deductible.”

Haskins later told the Light “A 501(c)3 can donate funds to other nonprofits and the recipient entity need not be a 501(c)3 but those funds are restricted to charitable purposes only.”

Though Gardner tended a handwritten resignation letter during the meeting, the board proceeded with the vote to explore her removal, which passed, sans votes by Gardner and trustee Ramin Pourtymour.

Gardner later told the Light, via e-mail, she questioned the “motivation of wasting the Town Council’s resources to send out 500 mailings to embarrass me with an obviously improbable, false allegation to get me to resign, when I have already resigned in writing.

“Where is the $3,800 that Town Council has already gotten?” from the event, she questioned. “It has never been reported by the treasurer in the town council bank account.” (Haskins and Greatrex provided electronic copies of bank statements showing the money had been deposited.)

LJTC trustee Rich Ticho said he hopes the experience leads to better oversight of the Town Council’s finances and event procedures.

n Eco-friendly Defense: Representing 52nd District Congressmember Scott Peters, Sarah Czarnecki noted that Peters recently introduced the Department of Defense Energy Security Act of 2014 (with U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, of Colorado), which Czarnecki said would “increase the amount of renewable and sustainable energy that the Department of Defense uses, increase security for our armed forces … and reduce fuel costs” (on which she said the DOD spent $14.8 billion last year).

“My boss likes to say that the biggest proponent for solar energy that he’s met while in Washington, D.C. is not the League of Conservation Voters or the Sierra Club — it’s the commandant of the Marine Corps, because when he has soldiers that are there transporting fuel, they are put in harm’s way,” Czarnecki said. “We had 3,000 soldiers killed since Sept. 11 through attacks on fuel convoys. If you move to solar energy in the field, putting panels on tents and backpacks for powering small electronics, and on vehicles to keep the technology they are using cool, it will not only keep our men and women who are serving safe, but it will reduce costs.”

Czarnecki also said that “during a marathon session” of the National Defense Authorization (NDA) Act on May 7, Peters countered a provision in the NDA that would move all firefighting services for San Diego’s large-scale wildfires to the military by introducing an amendment to keep those firefighting responsibilities with the California National Guard to “make sure that our response times are still quick.” u

Boys Tennis: La Jolla High School Vikings

La Jolla High team melds youth gold rush with seniority

By Ed Piper The La Jolla High School tennis team, bearers of a tradition of excellence displayed in 45 CIF team championships, have melded together elder statesmanship (in senior and captain Colton Kellogg) with a gold rush of talented ninth-graders this season to stage a 15-0 run in team matches, earning the deserved number-one seed in the CIF Division III playoffs.

Kellogg, an active and vocal leader, with a more serious persona than some of his younger court mates, prefers working with a doubles partner to the potential individual glory of a singles player. Meanwhile, his teammates vary from the smiling, approachable No. 1 singles player, Sasha Kovacevic, a junior, to the incoming freshman Hongjoon Kim. A typical lineup card by coach Matt Previdi this season would feature freshmen Sam Hum and Drake Pieper paired up in No. 3 doubles, Colin Jarvis half of the No. 2 doubles duo, Riley Vickers teamed up with Kellogg in No. 1 doubles, and yet another freshman, Jack Hogan, in No. 2 singles. That’s a big changeover from the seven seniors who dominated the 2013 CIF championship squad.

“Having a partner out there on the court helps keep me sane,” said Kellogg during the course of the playoffs. “I always try to be a good example by being the loudest one out there.”

Kellogg led the Vikings in a pre-game chanting “haka” circle to get the energy up

Freshman Riley Vickers and senior captain Colton Kellogg, the No. 1 doubles pair for La Jolla, share a moment of strategy during the playoffs last week.

Sophomore Trenton Fudge leans into his backhand with finesse and concentration during playoff week. Photos by Ed Piper

before dispersing to their various places on the six courts. Coach Previdi started that this season to build team unity.

Previdi is fiercely proud of his team. At the start of the season, when discussion came up of how much newspaper coverage the team would get considering the 20 or so varsity teams at the three high schools in the La Jolla Light’s readership area, Previdi said, “Well, I would say that the most illustrious tennis program in San Diego CIF history with 45 championships merits coverage every week,” jokingly, but making a serious point.

Previdi couldn’t be more proud of his captain.

“Colton has been one of the biggest reasons for our success this year, due to his incredible play on the court, as well as the example he sets for the younger team members when training and outside of matches.” It’s like having a second coach on the court, he said.

“With a team this young,” continued Previdi, “it would be easy to say ‘it’s a rebuilding year’ and throw up our hands.

However, the attitude Colton brings to the team of hard work and positivity has carried over to our younger players and it shows in

their ‘never quit’ attitude.”

Sophomore Marcelo Losonczi plays No. 3 singles. Junior Nikola Nikolic, plays with Jarvis in No. 2 doubles. Nikolic talked about the sacrifice players have to make to be on the tennis team: “Through the season, seniors Zach (Ye) and Winn (Cu) have led the team through example. They have balanced tough school schedules and stayed dedicated to the rigorous practice schedule of the team. Their commitment has inspired many others to work harder and to try and achieve more.” He said Ye has made marked improvement in his game this year — both physical and mental.

Sophomore Trenton Fudge, who also kicks for the varsity football team, compares playing the two sports: “The football team is a large team where we all consider ourselves brothers and have each other’s backs, no matter what. The tennis team is much smaller, so it’s easier to build friendships with the whole team. We will always pick each other up when we are upset on the court.”

Kovacevic, the No. 1 singles player, uses music and three words to keep focused: “Mentally, I love to listen to music. It’s calming and takes my nervous away. Ever since I was a little kid, my private coach told me to write three words on a paper ’calm, cool, collected’ on a paper and read it during changeovers. I’ve never stopped doing that.

It really helps me get in a good mental place.” u

By Ed Piper The mind of the libero in volleyball is something to behold. The libero — the only member of the team to wear a differently colored jersey — stands a breed apart. He is a defensive specialist, so he never approaches the front line at the net with the hitter/blockers he has to work with. He is usually shorter in stature than the hitters. Many times he is the high-spirited one on the floor, showing emotion, exclaiming on crucial points, pugnacious in diving after balls.

Alec Swanson of The Bishop’s School is one of these. In fact, though he has been starting libero all three of his years on the varsity Knight squad, he isn’t the only player in the rotation who is an experienced libero. His teammate, Scott McPherson, plays libero on his club team, though he plays a different position, hitter-blocker, for Bishop’s. In addition to all these other stand-apart factors, Swanson also has to swap out with a teammate, Pierce Schneider, in serving situations.

At this point in the season, as the Knights ready to enter the playoffs ranked number two in CIF Division II on maxpreps.com with a 16-4 record, Swanson’s pugnacity has helped pay off with an undefeated Coastal League North season (7-0).

“The mentality of a libero is to not let the ball hit the ground at all costs,” said Swanson, who calls the libero the “effort player” because “they sacrifice their bodies and dive for everything.” Liberos are responsible for making sure the team is in the correct defensive formation, depending on the hitter and the type of hit coming over the net.

Humorously, the Bishop’s junior was “forced” into playing volleyball. In middle school, his favorite sport was basketball. But a “breakfast club” at school involved volleyball before school. He had to go to school at the hour his sister did, since they shared the same ride. In sum, Swanson said, “I became a libero because my sister was one, and it is a position for small players in a big man’s game. So it was sports, volleyball, perfect; plus the energy role was one that I loved to fill.”

Coach Jackie Bernardin’s Coastal League North champions feature plenty of weapons alongside their sparkplug.

McPherson, their kill leader, rose to the occasion at key points in the team’s recent win over Cathedral Catholic High School in a home match. Another hitter-blocker, Chris Alleyne, showed power (20 kills) and passing skills in the 16-25, 25-19, 25-23, 28-30, 15-9 non-league vanquishing of the visiting Dons. Swanson had 17 digs. The small crowd roared as Bishop’s came back from the 1-0 first-game deficit to overcome Cathedral, ranked eighth in the San Diego CIF Section. Setter Eric Yu assisted impressively with both back and front sets to his hitters at the net.

“I am so proud of my team and the hard work they have been putting in this season,” Bernardin said. “I knew after game four (against the Dons) we would pull it out because of their confidence.” As the Bishop’s contingent got louder as the match progressed, Cathedral got quieter. Their coach, Paul Araiza, icily told his team, “I’m not going to say another word the rest of the match,” and threw something after Bishop’s won the second game 25-19.

Cathedral was sleepwalking, whereas Bishops players were shouting, celebrating each point. The contrast was stark: The big, silent giant against the fired-up smaller unit.

“We finally put it all together,” said Swanson of the win. “I cannot overemphasize how much we have improved.”

Bernardin said she tries to focus on her athletes as whole persons, not just volleyball players, in keeping a bigger picture in her coaching: “I expect my players to learn from the sport to build character, respect each other, and develop a work ethic that will take them past the sport of volleyball.”

There’s a place for humor in building and maintaining team cohesiveness over the long haul of the season. “Chris Alleyne is our guy that keeps things light and fun,” said the coach. Alleyne is also a standout on the Bishop’s soccer team: “Sahil Sheth is the funniest player on the team,” Swanson said.

“He has a lot of trouble staying in his shoes, and his postgame naps have made for some classic selfies.”

Bernardin singles out middle blockers Noah Fales, Schneider, and Sheth for the biggest improvement this year. Owen Gallahue, a freshman, has made strides through hard work and a teachable spirit. u

Linda Janon works to erase stigma of mental illness

L

inda Janon was born in New York City with a passion for art and dance. She studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology with a major in design. As an illustrator she worked with the San Diego Opera and Applause magazine.

However, it was her role as a mother that ultimately changed the trajectory of her life.

In 1993, as her daughter battled against depression, Janon saw firsthand the need to change the perception and treatment of mental illness. This experience served as her inspiration to Linda Janon found the Behavioral Health Committee of Jewish Family Service of San Diego. The committee has grown to some 30 volunteers who host two annual educational programs, including a Community Resource Fair. While Janon still explores her artistic nature, her passion has changed to working with JFS to bring awareness to mental illness in order to erase the stigma. She is making a difference!

La Jolla collector delights in offbeat hobby n California Button Society to show thousands of rare, vintage buttons May 17-18

By Pat Sherman ou can laugh later when you get to the car,” Renée Comeau joked, while confiding to the La Jolla Light at her La Jolla home that she is in her second term as president of the California State Button Society — part of a national network of rather serious collectors of both utilitarian and artistic buttons spanning the globe and centuries — including many with serious monetary value.

“Probably a quarter to a third of our members are men,” Comeau said.

“Some collect military buttons, wood buttons, police uniform buttons or sailing ship buttons.

“This button right here is all carved very minutely in wax,” she said, displaying her most treasured antique apparel fastener (circa the 18th century).

“Can you imagine this lasting 300 years?”

During the 18th century and first half of the 19th century, buttons were primarily worn by men, including members of the royal courts of London

What brought you to La Jolla?

Originally, we moved to La Jolla because my husband joined the staff of UCSD. We stayed because of the beauty and community of La Jolla.

What might you add, subtract or improve in the area?

La Jolla has changed so much over that last 20 years. It has become a destination more than an intimate community. We have lost local businesses including the Cove Theatre, Burns Drugs and other small family-owned businesses and we are at risk of losing our post office. La Jolla has become a less personal community. However, there are many people who feel the way I do and collectively we are trying to save La Jolla’s history.

These are some of Renée Comeau’s favorite buttons in her collection, many are works of art.

I most dislike pretentiousness.

Let Inga Tell You

The family photographer

N

La Jolla Cultural Partners

ow that the holidays are well over, I think it’s appropriate to discuss the role of the family photographer, which is about as unappreciated a job as there is. Year after year, occasion after occasion, there is nothing but complaining as the (selfappointed) family archivist attempts to herd the surly assemblage into some kind of order and snap a few pics for posterity.

Does anyone say thank you? I think not.

Years later, of course, everyone loves looking at those pictures, pointing out hair and clothing styles, but more often than not, focusing on what’s in the background.

Remember that sofa we got from Goodwill? Oh, look, there’s that Chevy Vega that rusted through in two years.

Wow, the trees were so much smaller. Did that guy you were dating then ever make parole? The family photographer basks in a few rare moments of adulation, which will evaporate in a nanosecond as soon as a camera appears. Photography is the ultimate delayed gratification hobby. Total abuse in real time.

I think one of the reasons I became such a devoted documenter of my family is that my own parents took so few photos of me.

I’m trying not to take this personally.

Partly, it was the era: at the time, color photos were a rarity and most people only had crummy black-and-white Brownie cameras that took abysmal pictures.

I would also have to say that as much as I loved my parents, they were inept camera people. Virtually all our family photos are blurry black-and-whites taken from waaayyy too far away or totally off center. There’s lots of sky. Mom, dad, that thing called a viewfinder? That’s why they call it that.

Like many people who feel they were deprived of something in their formative years, I may have overcompensated with my own kids. When my younger son and then-fiancée wanted to do a slide show for their wedding, I hauled some 40 albums out to the dining room table. I swear my daughter-in-law said under her breath, “I hope this isn’t hereditary.”

Last year I put together a 400-slide show of Olof and me to mark a milestone birthday. Afterward, there were wonderful toasts made – Henry gave a four-hanky tribute to both of us. I gave a toast to Olof, commenting on how different this evening would have been had Olof not come into our lives. Both kids simultaneously chimed, “200 less slides?”

By Kelley Carlson hen Snooze opened in Del Mar last fall, it didn’t take long for locals to wake up and take notice.

On a typical day, this mainly breakfastoriented eatery is buzzing with activity, as people relax over steaming cups of organic java and a hearty meal. Some bring their dogs and soak up the sun on the patio; others find comfort in the “retro-future” dining room’s crescent-shaped booths.

Guests won’t find much in the way of “standard” morning fare here, though.

“We do a creative twist on food compared to the everyday breakfast,” General Manager JD explained. For instance, there’s the classic Eggs Benedict dish, but in six variations, all with house-made Hollandaise.

One is the savory Southwestern-themed Chilaquiles Benedict, which features layers of thick tortillas and ranchero sauce that’s piled with shredded barbacoa beef, roasted poblano Hollandaise, pico de gallo, cotija cheese and poached, cage-free eggs — a fiesta of flavors.

There are a number of other egg entrees, as well. Three-egg omelets are up to one’s imagination, filled with vegetables, meats and cheeses. A staff favorite is the Green Eggs

Among them: the Peter Paul Rubens sandwich, composed of corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and house-made Thousand Island dressing, stacked in a plump pretzel roll; and the Winter Greens, a combination of prosciutto, Gala apples, goat cheese, candied walnuts and apple cider vinaigrette.

The restaurant even puts unique touches on its beverages. Snooze infuses its own vodkas for use in its Bloody Marys, and customizes “barista cocktails” that range from dirty chais and flat whites to lattes and cappuccinos. There are mimosas concocted with house juices, and an Orange Snoozius with vodka, orange liqueur, orange juice and whipped cream.

Yet, traditional drinks are available, too, such as the house-blend coffee that is made from beans grown in Guatemala.

Along with such innovative cuisine, JD attributes Snooze’s friendly atmosphere as a reason customers are drawn to the eatery.

“We like to treat our guests like they’re family members,” JD said. “The food is also above and beyond what is required from guests. We feel like Snooze is doing the talking for us.” u

Guests can choose to dine in Snooze’s bright and airy dining room or outside patio in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. PHOTOS By Kelley Carlson

or the past 10 weeks, All Hallows Academy students blanketed La Jolla streets with lemonade stands, bake sales and rainbow loom bracelet sales to raise money so that Jackson Wagner, a teenage NonHodgkin’s Lymphoma survivor, may attend the 19th annual Celebration of Champions event May 10 at Rady Children’s Hospital.

Celebration of Champions remembers the children who lost their battles with cancer and celebrates the children who are fighting cancer, surviving and thriving. The event provides a special day for patients and families away from the hospital and also raises money for programs that help parents, patients and siblings cope with cancer.

Jackson was diagnosed in October 2012 at age 17 after doctors found a tumor in his stomach that was growing rapidly. He spent six months in Rady Children’s Hospital enduring intense chemotherapy and is now in remission. He shared his story with All Hallows Academy students and they vowed to work together to get him to this very special event.

All Hallows students surpassed their $3,000 goal and even crossed $4,000 with some students raising $100 in weekend bake sales. u — Maryann Castronovo

From Buttons, B1 and Paris, who commissioned the day’s top artists to create them, Comeau said.

Those buttons might feature, enclosed in glass, a rare beetle or the feather of a bird someone shot while hunting (specimen buttons), or miniature scenes painstakingly painted on ivory.

“Even though some of these are very feminine looking, they were worn by men,” Comeau maintained. “Men in Europe would spend thousands of dollars (in today’s currency) on a single set of buttons in the 1700s. Women didn’t really wear buttons as fasteners until the mid-1850s.”

Though early European men’s buttons are some of the most beautiful, Comeau said among her favorites are simple, American Colonial buttons of chaste copper and pewter, made during a time when people were rejecting the trappings of European aristocrats.

URINARY INCONTINENCE YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT One in every five women experiences pelvic floor dysfunction, such as urinary incontinence, pelvic prolapse or accidental bowel leakage. Fortunately, effective treatments are available.

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

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

Origins of an obsession Comeau was introduced to buttons by her grandmother, one of 18 children who grew up on a farm in San Juan Capistrano.

“Everything was (saved and) repurposed, because they had no money,” Cameau said, noting that upon her grandmother’s death, she inherited two shoe boxes full of buttons that she had been enamored with as a child.

That, and an exhibition of 18th and 19th century buttons at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library 10 years ago, heightened her interest.

Lest anyone think buttons are staid or stodgy, Comeau leafed to a section of a book on button designers of various periods that showed pictures of 18th century

s

These buttons in Renée Comeau’s collection depict famous people in history.

Comeau will take part in the California Button Society’s 2014 Antique, Vintage and Collectible Button Show, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Saturday, May 17 and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sunday, May 18 at the Town and Country Hotel, 500 Hotel Circle North in Mission Valley.

The show will feature hundreds of thousands of buttons from the 18th century to more contemporary ones made of celluloid, enamel, Victorian glass and other materials.

The show will also feature a workshop on

how to make button jewelry without damaging a rare or delicate button, and presentations on identifying buttons from the Arts and Crafts design period and on sporting buttons.

It is the first time in 55 years that a show under the umbrella of the National Button Society has been held in San Diego, said Comeau, who, when not collecting buttons, said she is busy pushing her husband Terry’s buttons with her obsession.

“This is how he appeases me,” she said, displaying Terry Gulden’s “one and only” themed button card (the method collectors use to compete at shows). It includes vintage buttons with the likeness of famous persons, from Napoleon to Joan of Arc and Teddy Roosevelt.

“This drives him crazy, my little habit,” Comeau said.

THE LAUGHTER STARTS SATURDAY

with the hilarious winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play!

La Jollan Renée Comeau is president of the California State Button Society. buttons that depict vividly erotic scenes.

“These were actually buttons that people wore,” she said, agreeing, “They leave nothing to the imagination.”

A button in her collection from the 1920s — once fastened to a woman’s garter belt — bears the image of a policeman signaling, “Stop!”

To add to her collection, particularly when she is arranging buttons of a particular theme for one her award-winning cards, Comeau scours button shows, estate sales and flea markets.

Her collection includes smuggler’s buttons, which have compartments once used for hiding things such as jewels, and a 2,000-year-old jade button from China. Two others feature daguerreotype portraits, or those made using the first widespread photographic process, in which the image is formed on a polished silver surface.

One of her happiest finds were two rare buttons made using the plique-à-jour process (French for letting in daylight), which she procured during last fall’s Del Mar Antique Show.

“I didn’t have much luck finding great buttons and a guy at the entrance who was an antiques dealer ... asked if I had seen the clown buttons in the back,” Comeau

From 10 Questions, B1 If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

I couldn’t pick eight, so there are nine: my husband, Dr. Edward Janon, Nora Ephron, Dorothy Kearns Goodwin, Georgia O’Keefe, Marc Chagall, Steven Spielberg, David Hockney, Emily Bronte and Gene Kelly.

What is your most-prized possession?

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

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

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

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

Hourly caregiving works well for many families. In this situation we provide trained caregivers on an hourly basis.

Here the caregiver focuses all her attention exclusively on the senior.

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

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

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

Local singer Nina Francis is inspired by music’s best

By Ashley Mackin Singer, songwriter, guitarist and 2010 The Bishop’s School grad Nina Francis is so proficient in pop music, she has a degree in it. Seriously.

Francis is one of the 25 students who will graduate with a popular music degree from the USC Thornton School of Music this year, and will celebrate the feat with a concert at the La Valencia Hotel La Sala lounge, 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 20 and 6 p.m.

Tuesday, May 27.

The 22-year-old acoustic performer has been compared to Norah Jones and Joni Mitchell, and is influenced by everyone from The Beatles to Scottish singer KT Tunstall. But at the end of the day, she said, “I’m really influenced by tons of artists.

Good music is good music.”

And she heard plenty of good music while in school, via the guest speakers and mentors available to her through the USC program.

Speakers included the funk band Earth, Wind and Fire and R&B singer Smokey Robinson. Francis, who lives in the Kensington neighborhood, reports working with composer Randy Newman, Motown songwriter Lamont Dozier and pianist Patrice Rushen. She is currently mentored

by Glen Ballard, the songwriter who cowrote Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill” and Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror.”

Lesser-known musicians Francis considers mentors are the teachers she had at The Bishop’s School, where she was active in the jazz band and choir. She said she still uses strategies she learned at Bishop’s, such as how to make vowel sounds, when she performs.

Whether its recording advice or lyrical feedback, Francis takes note of all the

Nina Francis’ self-titled EP is available for download on iTunes. Courtesy Photos

Nina Francis will perform in the La Valencia Hotel La Sala lounge May 20 and 27. comments she receives from teachers.

“Sometimes I’ll play something for my teachers and they will say something needs to change and I’ll realize they are right,” she said. “Other times, they are wrong when they say something needs to change, because I am happy with it.”

In the early stages of her songwriting, she said she would write melodies first and then lyrics, but now she’ll start with lyrics and

build around them. “It starts with a line or two and I record it on my phone or write it down. Then I try different chords on my guitar to see what fits,” she said.

“Sometimes I’ve taken years to write songs, because I’d write a chord and set it aside, and all of a sudden I’d get an idea and could finish it. Other times ideas strike like lightning and can be done in an hour.”

The three songs on her self-titled debut

EP are the ones she said are her favorites, because they fit her mission of creating something the audience can empathize with. “It’s one thing if what I write makes me feel better, but if other people respond to it, too, that’s it.”

Francis played at La Valencia two summers ago, and when she told management she would be back in town, they asked her back. “I’m looking forward to seeing my family and friends in San Diego and making my debut in La Jolla,” she said. “It should be great.”

While she did a mini-tour in London in July 2012, she said she now wants to focus on San Diego venues, building a local fan base, while maintaining the connections she established in Los Angeles. u n Hear her music on iTunes and her website NinaFrancisMusic.com

new Apple tv rumored to be unveiled this Month If rumors are true, then this month promises to bring us something very exciting. According to Bloomberg, Apple Inc. is planning to introduce a new Apple TV set-top box. Apple has been

planning to unveil it this month and have it in stores by the holiday season, but because they are securing agreements with various partners, the unveiling could be delayed. But at least we know it’s in the works, so let’s have a look at what the rumors tell us we have to look forward to.

First of all, the new set-top box will provide Apple TV users access to more content. Apple has been working on a deal with Time Warner that would enable Apple TV customers to have access to more live TV channels. Apple is also working with other media companies to address the concerns they have about selling content to online services like Apple. Apple’s deal with Time Warner would also enable users to watch content on different devices by advancing Time Warner’s “TV

Everywhere” plan—the viewing app for which is already available on Apple’s iPad. The new Apple TV will also have a faster processor and a new interface. There are also rumors that clam that a new Apple TV could see more support for apps and Bluetooth game controllers and that Apple TV would be updating its gaming support to allow games to be directly downloaded to the set, rather than having to go through an iOS device.

Until it’s actually unveiled, we don’t know exactly what this new Apple TV set-top will be, but according to Business Insider, Apple once famously called Apple TV a hobby, but CEO Tim Cook seems to have changed his tune. Last year, he said Apple has a “grand vision” for Apple TV. And this grand

vision may have started with Steve Jobs who once said, “I’d like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use … It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud … It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it.”

In other words, it looks like we can expect great things from Apple TV. If you have any questions about the new TV or any Apple products, we are an authorized Apple reseller and would love to educate you about our Apple products. Please visit us at http:// ModernHomeSystems.com or give us a call at (858) 554-0404.

Relish the thought: Celebrate Burger Month “Man who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.”

— Matthew McConaughey

T

he beloved burger, a culinary national treasure is honored in the month of May with a designated holiday that bears its name. Creative liberal-minded chefs have converted the classic burger into an equal opportunity food allowing a wide range of gustatory groups to earn their grill marks. Here’s a primer to help you celebrate National Burger Month whether you’re a die-hard carnivore, pescavore, pollitarian or vegetarian.

Grass up While organic beef is best since it comes from cows that don’t do drugs, including growth hormones and antibiotics, it is even better to buy grass-fed beef. Cows are ruminants with stomachs divided into four compartments so they can digest cellulose like hay, grass and cornstalks. As nature’s lawnmowers, they are not equipped for digesting grain, which raises acid levels in their rumens, producing a dangerous environment where acid-resistant E. coli can thrive. So where possible, buy grass-fed.

Moo-ve over For those who don’t do bovine, try elk, a close cousin to the deer as an alternative carnivorous offering. As forest dwellers, elk naturally feed on grasses, plants and bark, producing a lean, dense, low cholesterol, high protein meat. More tender than beef, elk does not require marinating. Elk burgers pair well with goat cheese, baby arugula or spinach, and a sweet onion chutney.

Bison (aka American Buffalo) are freespirited animals roaming on grassy plains, not manhandled or tainted with chemicals, hormones or antibiotics. The meat is pure and wholesome with a sweeter taste than beef, but not gamey. Since it’s leaner, it should be cooked slower and at a lower temperature to prevent overcooking. Nice accompaniments to bison burgers are cabernet caramelized onions, tangy escarole and smoky barbecue sauce.

If elk and bison are too wild for your

taste buds, choose the savory immuneboosting lamburger with Mediterranean toppings such as feta, black olive tapenade and refreshing yogurt dill sauce.

Senior earns Charity League Service Award

T

he National Charity League’s (NCL) San Diego Chapter held its Awards & Hours Banquet April 27 at Hyatt Regency La Jolla, where Nicole Roos of La Jolla High School was presented with the Senior Service Award for the Class of 2014. This award is given to the “Ticktocker” who, during her six years in NCL, served the greatest number of volunteer hours at chapter philanthropies.

Nicole volunteered 755 hours during her six years — 278 hours in her senior year.

She also received the Heart of Gold Award, Hourglass Award and Yellow Rose Bouquet Award for her volunteer hours at St. Vincent de Paul and the Gary & Mary West Wellness Center.

Nicole said she learned the importance of community service from an early age, serving meals at St. Vincent de Paul with her family.

At LJHS, Nicole is a member of the Cum Laude Society, vice president of the Math Club and a member of the Investment Club. She played on the varsity archery and lacrosse teams. In the fall, she plans to attend the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California. u

Wing it For the cholesterol-conscious pollitarians, turkey and chicken burgers from ground breast meat are light, super lean and high protein, although tend to be a little dry, especially the former fowl. Slather with plenty of barbecue sauce or tart cranberry mustard and juicy toppings to counter the dryness.

A Pork in the Road Wild boar burgers have gained popularity as an exotic beef alternative. An ancestor of the modern domesticated pig, wild boar must be cooked thoroughly (internal temperature 160-170 degrees Fahrenheit) to insure food safety, and a tender texture. As lean as chicken breast, but rich and dense, wild boar has a slightly gamy, sweet, smoky flavor.

Fish for Compliments For pescavores firm fish like mahi mahi or wild-caught salmon are best patty choices nicely topped with Asian accompaniments like daikon radishes and wasabi mayo. Crustacean cakes made from lump Dungeness crab, deep-sea scallops or jumbo wild-caught pink shrimp, chopped and blended with lemon mayo, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, panko breadcrumbs and choice herbs and spices, gently pan fried make light yet satisfying burgers with a mother lode of heart-healthy omega-3s.

Hunters and Gatherers So Cal’s Burger Lounge at locations scattered around town is featuring a limited time prehistoric patty called the “Paleo” burger. On a bed of lettuce sits chunky slices of grilled zucchini, crispy strips of nitrate-free bacon, a single-source grass-fed beef burger topped with a grilled tomato slice and a dollop of jalapeno relish. u — For burger recipes or if you’d like to beef about something, e-mail the Kitchen Shrink at kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

a Jolla High School’s Splatter Art Club recently completed another electrical box in Pacific Beach — this one is across from the Belmont Park roller coaster.

Members Kaitlin Wheeler, Stephanie Foster, Ellie Krantz and Kayla Krantz (pictured) helped beautify the box by drawing characters from the Pixar movie “Finding Nemo” upon it. The box was transformed from a green, dirt-covered surface to one decorated with brightly colored sea creatures. With another successful outcome, the Splatter Art Club plans to continue painting more electrical boxes in the next year to help beautify the Pacific Beach community. The project was made possible with permission from SDG&E and the Pacific Beach Women’s Club. u — Kaitlin Wheeler

A Bridge For Kids awards scholarships

I

n April, the La Jolla-based A Bridge For Kids organization awarded more than $25,000 in sponsorships to San Diego students in need of financial support.

A large portion of the sponsorship money was provided by the Rodecki Foundation.

This donation, along with several other large contributions, allowed A Bridge for Kids to help 20 area students take a big step closer to achieving their dreams. Students from Castle Park High School, The Preuss School, East Lake High School and Sweetwater High School all benefited from this outpouring of support.

Francis Canda of Sweetwater High School was one of the beneficiaries of a $2,000 sponsorship. He immigrated from the Philippines when he was a child and the recent death of his stepfather has made it

difficult for the family financially. After receiving his sponsorship, this junior, who ranks near the top of his graduating class, said, “Your generous contribution brought my mother to tears of joy and left me in almost disbelief that someone would be kind enough to help me. I still want to achieve my dream of becoming a doctor, and following in the footsteps that my father once walked.”

Francis will also be taking part in A Bridge for Kids’ sponsored trip to some of the top colleges along the East Coast — his choice is the University of Pennsylvania.

A Bridge For Kids has a growing number of talented teens, who are excellent candidates for sponsorship. To learn more, visit abridgeforkids.org u — Tammy Nance

“Helping the community is part of our school’s core values,” said Head of School Christian Jarlov. “One of the charities, HUFC, is helping children go to school and have a daily lunch in Burkina Faso, Africa.” u — Emily Sims

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices hosts agents’ meeting at Copley Estate

A

n invitation-only event — the meeting of the Networking and Advisory Council for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties’ luxury offices in San Diego County — was held May 8 at Fox Hill, the former Copley Estate in La Jolla. More than 100 agents attended to learn from keynote speakers Cristie St. James and Markus Canter, Luxury Properties Directors, who discussed the methods and practices that have allowed them to consistently rank in the top 100 of the nation for their sales.

“This event was a tremendous success and I would like to thank everyone involved for the effort and time they applied to make it happen, especially the directors of the Networking and Advisory Council, Jan Clements, Gwyn Carter Rice, Lisa Stennes-Laikind, Todd Bloom and Jeannie Gleeson,” said Nicki Marcellino, manager of the La Jolla office and vice president for San Diego. “I would also like to thank the sellers of Fox Hill, as I couldn’t imagine a more scenic venue for our meeting.”

One of the foremost properties in Southern California, the Copley Estate sits atop a lush eight-acre parcel overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Previously the family home of the Copley family, who made an impact on San Diego through their establishment of the San Diego Union-Tribune. Fox Hill’s pool and gardens have witnessed many grandscale fundraisers to support the city’s hospitals, charities and museums.

Offered by Greg Noonan of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, the Copley Estate has hosted many traveling dignitaries, Hollywood stars and visiting royalty over the years, including the Nixons and the King and Queen of Spain. u Photos by Daniel K. Lew
