By Pat Sherman During his monthly media roundtable on May 9, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner told the La Jolla Light the city will institute a temporary remedy to the longstanding odor problem at La Jolla Cove within the coming weeks — a pledge first announced during the previous day’s meeting of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA). The foul stench that permeates The Village on warm days is caused by cormorant and sea lion excrement on the rocks above La Jolla Cove. “We have someone who’s an expert at vacuuming this stuff up who we’re going to hire,” Filner said. “We hope we can do it by Memorial Day. “I had been threatening various bureaucracies that I was just going to go clean it up, no matter what permits and stuff are necessary, (but) we think we have all the necessary permits lined up, both from (state) water and air (regulatory agencies) and NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration),” he said. “So, I don’t have to go up there with my little Hoover vacuum cleaner and do it — See Cove Stench, A6
Association will ask city to station ranger at Shores beach By Ashley Mackin The La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) held its monthly meeting May 8 to discuss the steps for acquiring a ranger at The Shores beach, hear the monthly lifeguard report, and consider a request from the Daughters of the American Revolution.

n Ranger request: LJSA members agreed there is a need for a ranger at The Shores, which would require raising approximately
$100,000, because the city does not currently have the funds to support the position. Member Mary Coakley-Munk said a ranger’s presence is direly needed based on the number of visitors who frequent the locale. “The per square foot usage at Kellogg Park is ridiculous, it’s so beyond carrying capacity,” she said. District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner’s representative, Erin Demorest, told the group that if the

money were raised, the city could have a ranger stationed there immediately, for one year. Board member Izzy Tihanyi said

fees paid by Shores business owners — which would cover a ranger’s annual salary — go to the city’s general fund as opposed to the local community. “If fees go to the city’s general fund, it should be called a tax,” she said. “But the city doesn’t want us to refer to it as a tax, they want us to call it a fee; and a fee goes back to the program that generated it.”

Filner to foxtrot for town council fundraiser
Dancing with La Jolla Stars organizer Nancy Gardner announces that Mayor Bob Filner has agreed be the Oct. 5 fundraising event’s ‘star dancer.’ Pat Sherman
By Pat Sherman San Diego Mayor Bob Filner swung by the La Jolla Town Council’s (LJTC’s) May 9 meeting to administer the oath of office to the LJTC’s recently installed officers, and to repeat his pledge to assure the stench at La Jolla Cove is quashed by Memorial Day, May 27 (See story, page A1). Filner also confirmed that he would be among the local notables busting their best dance moves during the LJTC’s Dancing with La Jolla Stars fundraiser, 6-10 p.m. Oct. 5 at Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines Hotel. Also dancing in the charitable competition will be District 2 City Councilmember Kevin Faulconer and Gina Seau, ex-wife of late San Diego Chargers linebacker, Junior Seau. Event organizer Nancy Gardner said she has reached out to Mitt Romney about participating. La Jolla’s city council representative, Sherri Lightner, declined to dance, but will participate in some capacity, Gardner said. Assistant San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman will serve as an event judge. Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit La Jolla community enhancement projects, as well as the Warriors and Quiet Waters Foundation, which provides traumatically injured U.S. servicemen and women with a thera-

In other town council news n Coast Boulevard sidewalk beautification plea: La Jolla Parks and Beaches (LJP&B) members Patrick Ahern and Phyllis Minick offered a new slide presentation on LJP&B’s quest to raise $250,000 for the restoration of the sidewalk area on Coast Boulevard near Children’s Pool beach. LJP&B is attempting to have the work done by the same city-approved contractors that are scheduled to build a new lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool this year (demolition of the existing tower begins next month). Ahern said that if the community does not take advantage of the contractors this year and has to hire new
contractors at a later date, costs for the project could double to $500,000. “It’s like building a home without a garden, without a front porch or a driveway,” Ahern said of adding a new lifeguard tower while leaving the sidewalk area cramped and crumbling. “It’s a mess, even today as we walk through there — it’s rusty, it’s beat up, it’s old, and it’s very congested,” he added, noting that lifeguards reported 124 medical aid calls at that stretch of sidewalk last year, many for elderly people tripping on the sidewalk. If the sidewalk is restored after the lifeguard tower is built, Ahern also noted, “it will disturb the seals again.” To donate to the project, visit: lajollaparksandbeaches.org n Goodwill fashion show: Despite some La Jollans’ concerns that a Goodwill store opening at 7631 Girard Ave. will somehow tarnish the Jewel’s prestige, second vice-president Steve Haskins defended Goodwill Industries, the LJTC’s new gold member. “Let me tell you, they have great stuff,” Haskins said. “It’s so good that I’m planning to have a fashion show here at the meeting in the next few months with people only wearing things from Goodwill.”

Merchants discuss BID Council shift, proposed trolley, fireworks show By Pat Sherman During its May 8 meeting, the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) voiced concern about the mayor’s decision to cut $185,000 from the Business Improvement District (BID) Council’s 20132014 budget, and put it back into the city’s general fund. “We didn’t think that anything was wrong with the BID Council; we had not been warned that there were any issues,” LJVMA Executive Director Sheila Fortune said, noting Mayor Bob Filner’s decision to instead hire a BID advocate to serve as a liaison between the city and the BID Council, the umbrella organization overseeing the city’s 17 business improvement district groups, which includes the La Jolla Village Merchants Association. The BID Council offers technical assistance, training and life insurance to individual BID staff, as well as low-cost equipment rentals for business-boosting community events and festivals. It also offers guidance and financial support to micro-business districts, such as the Bird Rock Community Council and La Jolla Shores Merchants Association — assistance that will now be provided by the new BID Council advocate. Fortune, who serves as LJVMA’s representative on the BID Council, said the “unexpected” cut basically amounts to the mayor defunding the nonprofit BID Council’s chief operating officer and two part-time staff positions. She said there is discussion of closing the BID Council’s downtown office,
La Jolla Village Merchants Association though its board of directors will carry on with about $200,000 in discretionary funds that will be used to retain staffing until the BID Council determines a way to become self-sufficient and fund the organization without city money. “It’s still in transition — where it’s going to be housed, how exactly it’s going to work, what the mayor’s BID advocate is really going to do to support us and be our advocate to the city,” Fortune said, adding that the BID Council feels a potential conflict of interest could arise having the business districts’ interests represented by a city employee. The mayor’s new BID advocate, former North Park Main Street Executive Director Elizabeth Studebaker, will begin her job July 1, working out of the city’s Economic Development Department office. Studebaker most recently spent 18 months as executive director of Sacramento’s Midtown Business Association. During the mayor’s May 9 media roundtable, Filner told the La Jolla Light he felt that the
BID Council had evolved into a “lobbying organization for business improvement districts … begging the city for help. “Why shouldn’t support for the BIDs be right in the city structure?” Filner posited. “Rather than having an outside consultant, we now have an inside advocate, Liz Studebaker, who will be organizing the other departments and making sure our whole city is supporting the BIDs — not just the BID Council. We’ll (still) be supporting the BID Council, but we want to do it in a far more effective way.” In a statement, BID Council President W. Patrick Edwards, said the BID Council would “transition to operating as a fullyindependent organization.” LJVMA President Phil Coller said he sent a letter to the mayor and District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner requesting further consideration of the BID Council shift. “There wasn’t unanimous agreement for that,” Coller said, though noting that most parent BID groups in the country are actually under the auspices of a city or municipality. “We are strange in that we are largest group of BIDS who are all independent and have an independent BID Council,” he said.
In other LJVMA news n Coastal Access & Parking Board: LJVMA board member Egon Kafka said a presentation to La Jolla’s parking board by the Downtown San Diego Partnership provided inspiration for a proposed trolley
or bus line to move people throughout The Village. The partnership budgeted about $5.6 million for three shuttle routes throughout downtown San Diego and Balboa Park, in anticipation of the park’s centennial festivities in 2015. The first two routes are expected to be up and running within the coming month, Kafka said. “If we could get our merchants to pitch in, and if we have a plan where it really wouldn’t cost all that much to (purchase) some vehicles, maybe we could get some stuff going by the La Jolla Community Center and up and down all the main streets of The Village,” Kafka said. n Trolley line proposed: Meanwhile, Old Town Trolley Tours is proposing a new loop that would run from Old Town up Mount Soledad, down into La Jolla Village and back through Belmont Park and Mission Bay. The company is expected to present a proposal to La Jolla’s community advisory groups in the next 60 days. Old Town Trolley’s General Manager, David Thornton, said if the project is approved and deemed feasible, it could be in operation shortly after the July 4 weekend. “That’s our target date, whether we hit it or not,” Thornton said. “We have a lot of details and hiring and training (ahead of us).” Thornton said he hopes to have three stops in La Jolla, though there could be just

From Merchants, A4 one due to traffic concerns. He said he hopes community groups will offer input on potential trolley stops. n Fireworks fundraising: In response to LJVMA board member Kevin Smith’s inquiry about La Jolla’s annual July 4 fireworks, event organizer Deborah Marengo told the Light she submitted permit applications to the city last week and is now seeking donations for this year’s event. Marengo said many longtime event donors have already recommitted to help fund this year’s event, though more donations are still needed. The cost (about $31,000) increased in 2013 due to the city’s request for increased fencing and security (in light of injuries sustained last year when employees of Coast Law Group breached the area where the pyrotechnics are ignited). “We’re looking to another great celebration, but it’s only going to happen with the support of the community,” Marengo said. To donate, visit lajollafireworks.org or call Marengo at (858) 459-3769. n PROW violations rampant: While businesses such as Jersey Mike’s Subs and Starbucks have paid fees required by the LJVMA for placing signage or tables and chairs within the public right-of-way (PROW), many more businesses are delinquent in paying their fees. “We’ve given everyone on Prospect Street warning letters and we got quite a few irate phone calls,” Fortune said. “The majority of the violations are tent signs, mini-board

signs and people putting chairs out front.” PROW fees cover the cost of liability insurance for business owners who place items on the sidewalk in front of their establishments. “When people don’t pay their PROW fees, they are not covered under the liability insurance,” Coller said. Fortune said the city is working to make sidewalk café permits less expensive and easier to obtain. People with sidewalk café permits are not subject to PROW fees for café related items.

n La Jolla Half Marathon recap: Kiwanis Club and LJVMA board members Trenton Bonner and Leon Chow said this year’s marathon was a success for business owners, though there were fewer runners. “The community was very gracious, more so than in past years,” said Bonner, noting that the event raised about $200,000 for La Jolla schools and other nonprofit organizations.
(reg $4.25)
n Treasurer’s report: Fortune noted that the LJVMA received $10,100 in back funding from the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau (ConVis), though she said ConVis still owes the LJVMA grant reimbursements for staffing, from Jan. 1 to June 30. n La Jolla Fashion Film Festival (July 26-27): Egon Kafka suggested the Haute La Jolla Nights event scheduled for July 20 be delayed a week to coincide with the fashion film fest to drive more business to The Village. San Diego Comic-Con, which takes place the weekend of July 20, will already provide spillover business for The Village that weekend, he said.

From Cove Stench, A1 which I was prepared to do.” On Friday, the mayor’s director of communications, Irene McCormack, said the city was still deciding between several contractors who perform COVE STENCH UPDATE this type of work. LJVMA President Phil Coller said he met with both Filner and state Senator Marty Block (D-39) last week to discuss the issue. Coller said the mayor promised a more permanent solution would follow the Memorial Day fix. Block also offered to assist the mayor to assure a longstanding remedy for the reek. “Whether he’s able to pull it off, we’ll see,” Coller said. Filner said he did not have further details about the vacuuming proposal — first mentioned months ago in an e-mail from the office of District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner. “We’ve just got to get it off of our rocks,” he said. “This is something that shouldn’t exist. … It’s a real problem for the merchants and the residents.” Filner also told the Light that the Seal Cam at Children’s Pool will likely remain in place beyond the harbor seals’ pupping season, which ended May 15. However, the camera would have to be moved from its current location, atop the old lifeguard tower, which is slated for demolition in mid-June to make way for a new tower. “We’re looking for a location right now so that it can continue in operation,” Filner said. “I’m not sure that we can, but I hope we can. I hope it won’t stop on May 15 — although it’s just a technical problem. We’ll figure it out.” The city is planning to take over operation of the Seal Cam from the nonprofit Western Alliance for Nature (WAN) Conservancy in the near future. Live video of the seals can be viewed around the clock on the city’s website, sandiego.org
UCSD team wins urban planning contest A team of students from UC San Diego won the 2013 NAIOP San Diego University Challenge, a real estate competition among student teams from UCSD Department of Urban Studies and Planning, SDSU’s Corky McMillin Center for Real Estate and the University of San Diego’s Burnham Moores Center for Real Estate. The winners were announced at the Marriott San Diego-Del Mar on April 26. Each team submitted an extensive written development proposal for a 52,800-square-foot downtown San Diego site within the proposed I.D.E.A. District, in advance of the event. The land parcel is owned by the City of San Diego through Civic San Diego and is bounded by Market Street, 11th Avenue, G Street and Park Boulevard. The teams also made 45-minute oral presentations of their analysis and findings the day before the winners were announced. The winning entry was for a project titled, “The Remmen,” named after a historical house that exists at the site. The Remmen would be a 25-story building that incorporates hyper-local retail, creative office space, underground parking and 189 micro units, as well as an additional 378 studio, 1- and 2-bedroom condominiums.
The UCSD urban studies team: Kristen Cowell, Kate Elliott, Brianna Everett, Paul Gherini, Saahil Jain and Michael Yoon. Their advisor was Jack McGrory, their coaches were Sue Peerson, AICP and Mirle Rabinowitz-Bussel, Ph.D. Courtesy The project would also include a 2,000-square-foot rooftop brewery and an “eco-roof.” Ten thousand square feet of the ground floor retail space would be dedicated to the Steve Nash Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of underserved children. Although this project was presented as an academic exercise, the UCSD team secured letters of interest from potential tenants. The I.D.E.A. District is a 93-acre,
sustainable, mixed-use development in San Diego’s East Village neighborhood that is driven by a design-services job cluster. Judges scored the entries on financial analysis; market analysis; development strategy; response to codes, regulations and environmental concerns; support for assumptions and conclusion; adequacy of written report; and responses to judges’ questions.

Real Estate TODAY by Janet Douglas
The Almost Perfect House Your Realtor's job is to find the perfect home, in the right location, and with all the right amenities at the right price. It is the home inspector's job to find any skeletons in the closet, or more likely in the plumbing, wiring, furnace, AC, appliances, roof and structure. The inspector won't pass or flunk a house based on what he finds, but will go over the house thoroughly to help you understand what it is you are buying. He will prepare a written report, most often with pictures pointing out defects and problems. You hopefully will have received disclosures from the seller describing any defects that they are aware of and your inspector can help you evaluate these items. If the inspector finds surprises that you were not aware of and they seem like serious or safety issues, you might want to re-open negotiations with your sellers before you commit to the purchase. A good inspector will also explain how some of the basic emergency systems work, such as the main water cut off valve, the circuit breaker box and perhaps he will explain some routine maintenance items that should be taken care of periodically with this particular house. It is always a good idea to hire a professional inspector. Their knowledge is priceless!

education and patriotism. The DAR has chapters in all 50 states as well as in the District of Columbia. LJSA member Mary Coakley-Munk suggested the Scripps Institute of Oceanography as a possible place for the plaque, as well as the flagpole at Kellogg Park. “We have a flag with a base down there that the Beach and Tennis Club puts up. That base might be a good location. The base also needs to be landscaped and this could be a part and parcel,” she said. Chair Lucas said the board would take a vote on placing the DAR plaque at Kellogg Park when a more solid plan is proposed.
Board Chair Tim Lucas agreed, suggesting that local business fees should cover a ranger. “If they don’t want to give the money directly to the community, put it toward the (law) enforcement and the park management they need,” he said. The LJSA agreed to write a letter to the city requesting a ranger be stationed at The Shores, and possibly paid for through business-owner “fees.” n Lifeguard activity: New lifeguard Ben Lewis reported that in April there were 18 rescues, 30 medical aids, eight lost-and-found cases and one detention at The Shores beach, and 150,000 people were counted as visitors. He said his unit also assisted in a rescue five miles off La Jolla, where a boat capsized and the father and two sons on board were deemed “in serious condition.” With choppy water conditions, Lewis reported the bilge of the boat was overworked and short-circuited. As a result, the boaters could not issue a Mayday call and were in the water for three to four hours before they were rescued. In regard to the new lifeguard tower, which will “hopefully” open at The Shores this summer, Lewis said lifeguards need to move everything from the old tower to the new tower, and the old tower must be demolished. However, asbestos was found in the old tower’s roof, and needs to be abated before the old tower can be demolished, he said. Originally planned to open before Memorial Day, it is more likely the new tower would

Acknowledging public safety issues, Erin Demorest said it was her understanding the city would work through the summer construction moratorium if it didn’t finish the new tower by Memorial Day. n DAR project: Representatives from the La Jolla Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) asked LJSA if it would be amenable to having a DAR
historical plaque somewhere in The Shores. Donna Derrick told the group DAR pays for the creation and installation of the plaque, working on the wording with community groups. The plaque would not honor any particular person, but would represent the group’s mission. DAR is a non-profit lineagebased membership organization for women who are directly descended from a person involved in the U.S. fight for independence. It works to promote historic preservation,

Those interested can e-mail LJSA.org@gmail.com and attend the next meeting, 6:30 p.m. June 12 at 8840 Biological Grade. n Chair Lucas nominated John Kassar and Todd Lesser to the Traffic and Transportation Board as representatives from LJSA. The nominees were approved by majority vote. n Todd Lesser resigned from the LJSA. “Todd had a lot going on with his other work,” Lucas said. “He had to pick and choose, and decided to stay on Traffic and Transportation.” n Lucas nominated himself, Janie Emerson, Dolores Donovan and Myra Nagle to the Permit Review Committee. All were approved by majority vote.

Are they ready for primetime? Two La Jollans may face Gordon Ramsay in ‘MasterChef’ TV show By Ashley Mackin MasterChef, a new reality-competition show on FOX featuring judges Gordon Ramsay, Graham Elliott and Joe Bastianich, will air May 22 with two La Jolla contestants: stay-at-home mom Natasha Crnjac and financial advisor Eli Moeller. Nearly 30,000 people auditioned for the show nationwide, with the top 100 trying out for the judges in Los Angeles on air, hoping to eventually win $250,000 and the title of MasterChef. Due to confidentiality agreements, Crnjac and Moeller could only verify they cracked the top 100 and presented a dish to the chef-judges. Looking for home cooks with no professional culinary experience, MasterChef tests those who want to get into the culinary field but haven’t had the chance yet. The challenges change from episode to episode, some involve making dishes for military personnel or using the ingredients in a “mystery box.” The first few episodes narrow the contestants from the top 100 to the top 40, and then down to the top 20. Moeller said of his participation in the audition, “My personal goal was to have some validation that I am a good chef and I have the wherewithal where I could make it in a competition with my peers and potentially have the opportunity to launch a professional career in cooking in some

form or fashion.” The self-admitted perfectionist said he heard about the show on the radio. When he heard the description of the ideal candidate, his only thought was “that’s me!” he said. “I love to cook, I have a passion for cooking, I’ve always wanted to do something with it and this could be just the opportunity for me to do something with it.” Aside from the nervousness that comes from possibly being on television, Moeller said he was confident that his dish was good, so he wasn’t too surprised when
producers said he would be auditioning for the judges as part of the top 100 group. Crnjac on the other hand, said she found the audition process “nerve-wracking.” Remembering waiting in line with other hopefuls, she started doubting herself. “There were a lot of talkers in the group and you could overhear their conversations, and people were trying to one-up each other, throwing out the culinary suave they have. There were mixed emotions, because you think, ‘Should I really be doing this?’ and ‘Maybe I’m not as good as the person next

to me is saying they are.’” However, she knew she had the required passion for cooking and the lifelong respect for food, so she confidently continued. “Growing up in a family of diverse cooks and growing up in a different part of the world, food was brought into my culture a little bit differently than it is here,” Crnjac said. Inspired by her Argentinian mother and Croatian father, Crnjac made two different empanadas with sauces and steak for the judges. Despite being nervous and knowing anything could go wrong, she said she was ready to present her dish and advance, and eventually win (though she could not say whether she in fact advanced). “I’m just there for the competition ... to win. I didn’t want to leave my 1-year-old son at home to go and be on a reality show,” she said. “After being a mom and a wife, and being at home and still having this passion that I was never able to pursue, being given the chance to be on MasterChef seemed like the best option for me to go and put in my all, and to figure out what I can do with it.”

Seahorse ‘armor’ influences researchers’ robotic design
Research Report By LynnE Friedmann
S
tudying structures created by nature can lead to new man-made materials. Case in point, researchers at the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego are taking clues from seahorse tails in an effort to create a more flexible robotic arm. Seahorse tails — made up of bony plates which slide past each other and that progressively decrease in size along the length of the tail — are exceptional flexibility and resilient. This “armor” design permits the tail to be compressed to half its size before permanent damage occurs, thereby thwarting sea turtles, crabs and birds attempting to prey on seahorses by crushing them. A series of experiments produced detailed information on plate mineral composition, ratio of organic compounds to water, surface hardness, and ability to absorb impact. With this data, engineers used 3D printing to create artificial bony plates which can then be equipped with polymers acting as “muscles.” The ultimate goal: a hybrid between hard and soft robotic devices able to grasp a variety of objects of different shapes and sizes. Such a robotic arm would be valuable for use in medical devices, underwater exploration, and unmanned bomb detection and detonation. Findings described in the journal Acta Biomaterialia. News release at http://bit.ly/ 13697Rt CO2 levels approaching milestone For the first time in human history, concentrations of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) could rise above 400 parts per million (ppm). Scientists estimate that the
last time CO2 was as high as 400 ppm was the Pliocene epoch, between 3.2 million and 5 million years ago, when Earth’s climate was much warmer than today. Scientists know so much about atmospheric greenhouse gas accumulation because of a continuous, daily record of CO2 measurements, begun in 1958, by the late Charles David Keeling, a renowned climate science pioneer at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. CO2 rises and falls in a sawtooth fashion, but the overall trend has been a consistent, unprecedented rise in CO2 levels. The website keelingcurve. ucsd.edu offers background information about how CO2 is measured, the history of the Keeling Curve, and resources from other organizations on the current state of climate. An accompanying Twitter feed, @keeling_curve, provides followers with the most recent Keeling Curve CO2 reading in a daily tweet. News release at http://bit.ly/ 18iOiEL. Organism feasts on whale skeletons Osedax is a genus of mouthless and gutless “bone
worms” that thrives on skeletons lying on the seafloor. In a recent study, scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego describe how the wispy worms are able to gain access to the nutrients within whale bones. In a process remarkably similar to how mammals repair and remodel bone, Osedax secrete acid that dissolves bones, presumably releasing collagen and lipids that are absorbed by the worms. Because they lack mouths, bone worms must use an alternative method of consuming nutrients and this has turned attention to symbiotic bacteria that live within the worms. Evidence suggests that the bacteria metabolize bone-derived collagen into other diverse organic compounds and that the worms subsequently digest the bacteria. The exact mechanism by which this process works, however, remains a mystery. Findings appear in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B (Biological Sciences). News release at http://bit.ly/ 121UlKD.

Mayor Filner chats with La Jolla’s Mitt Romney about his cross-border Olympics proposal By Pat Sherman San Diego Mayor Bob Filner met with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at City Hall May 6 to discuss the City of San Diego’s Olympic bid for the 2024 Summer Games. Mayor Filner announced last month that San Diego and Tijuana would submit a binational bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The mayor invited Romney to his office last week to ask if the former Republican presidential candidate would lend his advice to the effort, to which Romney said yes. The mayor and Romney discussed the challenges of a bi-national Olympic bid, as well as the experience Romney gained working as the president and CEO of the Salt Lake City Organizing Committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics, the most recent games that were held in the United States. “He was very gracious,” Filner said of Romney during a May 9 media roundtable event at City Hall. “He’s already let us know who we should be talking to at all the right places. He’s got, obviously, a wealth of information.” Late last month the U.S. Olympic Committee said international rules don’t allow two countries to propose a joint Olympic event. According to Sports Illustrated, Scott Blackmun, the USOC’s chief executive, said the committee was talking to 10 cities about a possible bid, including San Diego-Tijuana. He said the committee hadn’t looked carefully at the cross-border proposal but that it would “have its challenges.”
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner and part-time La Jolla resident Mitt Romney meet at City Hall May 6. Courtesy Though a bi-national Olympics is a new concept, during last week’s media event Filner assured, “there’s ways to deal with the existing rules. “We would like to change the rules,” he said. “I think the hallmark of the Olympics is international cooperation. What could be more a statement of international cooperation than two countries doing this
We Are Buying
together, so I’m hopeful that we have time to deal with the International Olympic Committee and their rules and by-laws.” Filner said he has spoken with contacts provided by Romney about “the realities” of hosting the Olympics, “how much money you need and the infrastructure — and I don’t think it’s beyond our capability or our aspirations.”
Filner said Romney offered a few “reality checks,” but also a sense that his bi-national proposal is feasible. “This is not beyond our ability at least to compete,” Filner said. “One of our cities could be the basic bidder with venues being held in the other city.” Filner said a proposed, downtown sports complex where the San Diego Chargers would play games might also be a place where Olympic events are held. “We have some venues (but) we’ll have to build other venues, so that’s a kind of (reality) check — and it’s going to be a long process,” he said. “We would have to figure out as two cities, what are our assets, not just in infrastructure, but in culture, in environment? How can we help each other multiply those assets?” Filner said he believes the bi-national Olympics could also help garner federal support for reconfiguration and revitalization of the border that would make international trade easier. “We are the biggest bi-national metropolitan area in the world, and we don’t talk about it or stress it or take advantage of it enough as a city,” he said, noting that as much as 35-40 percent of San Diegans have roots in Mexico. “The border is a cul de sac in California, instead of being … a center of culture, of energy, of dynamism. “People pay incredible amounts of money to go on cruises and to go traveling to get that bi-national experience. Here we have it, and yet we haven’t taken advantage of it.”

Take a piece of history in hand at La Jolla Coin Shop
La Jolla Coin Shop’s staff specialize in the buying and selling of rare coins, currency and precious metals, such as gold and silver.
By Marti Gacioch Coin collecting is the largest hobby in the world, according to Jeffrey Martin, co-owner of La Jolla Coin Shop, but it’s come under a lot of pressure lately competing for folks’ attentions with all the technological distractions around today. “Coin collecting has been going on for thousands of years, now we’re trying to get people back into coin collecting by showing them the value, fun and historical significance there is in collecting,” Martin said. La Jolla Coin (and its partner store San Diego Coin and Bullion) are among San Diego’s leading buyers of coins, rare currency, collections and precious metals. The shops are also known for their historical coin collections, including a Byzantine gold coin collection that dates from 300-400 A.D. and some first and second century Greek silver coins that come with certification of authenticity,

stating time period, ruler of the time and geographical origin. “It’s like holding a piece of history in your hand,” Martin said. “We have Roman bronze and copper coins that date from 1800 years ago that you can purchase for $40, and we also have extremely rare coins.” According to Martin, his brother, Chad Martin, who coowns San Diego Coin and Bullion with Michael McConnell, is one of the foremost experts in Egyptian, Roman and Greek coins in Southern California. Jeffrey Martin’s expertise lies in U.S. coins and currency. La Jolla Coin wants to provide an environment that a younger generation can come into and get excited about coin collecting again. “It’s fun and they’re going to learn something about it, and if they do it correctly, they’ll have something of value, ” Martin said. Martin also wants his shop to be relevant to the Generation
X-ers when they are deciding where to put their money. “We don’t recommend that people dump their stock portfolio and put all their money into gold,” Martin said. “We are rooted in integrity and want to educate people before they buy; we want them to be fully confident knowing what they’re doing.” San Diego Coin and Bullion was established more than 25 years ago, and two years ago they acquired La Jolla Coin, which opened in 1964. “Between the three of us, we have nearly 100 years experience in numismatics and rare coins,” Martin said. n La Jolla Coin Shop, 7746 Girard Ave., La Jolla.

Mayor Filner gives the oath of office to newly installed La Jolla Town Council officers: President Cindy Greatrex, Secretary Charles Hartford, First Vice-President Nancy Gardner, Treasurer Yolanda de Riquer and Second Vice-President Steve Haskins. Pat Sherman FROM Town Council, A3 n WindanSea Surf Club’s ‘Five-O’: WindanSea Surf Club is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year with a six-month exhibition at the California Surf Museum in Oceanside that begins June 8. For more information, visit surfmuseum.org or windansea.org n La Jolla Christmas Parade: This year’s parade and holiday festival is set for 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8, and fundraising is underway. Parade Committee Chair Ann Kerr Bache noted that last year’s event might not have occurred due to an early cash flow shortage. “We just raised enough to manage last year’s (event) and pay our police bill … and our insurance and all that,” Kerr Bache said. Having recently obtained nonprofit status for the parade foundation, Kerr Bache said this year’s goal is to raise enough money to donate to community youth programs. “During the year we’re going to have several little fundraisers with a couple of the merchants in town,” she said. To learn more, visit ljparade.com n Guest speaker: The town council also heard a presentation from Access Youth Academy, an after-school organization that improves educational and personal opportunities for disadvantaged youth, in part by introducing them to squash — a sport played on a court with raquets, and through tutoring and community service. “It is a sport that’s often associated with the elite and here you have children who are transforming their lives and the lives of others … through squash,” said LJTC President Cindy Greatrex, who is involved with and contributes to the organization.

La Jolla software entrepreneur and Access Youth board member, Malcolm Bohm, said he got involved with the organization after being asked to give a presentation to its students. “These children truly come from underprivileged, distressed circumstances — girls and boys that have unfortunately joined gangs, (suffered abuse) … (or are) below the poverty threshold,” Bohm said. Access Youth Academy is a partnership with the San Diego Squash Club and The Preuss School at UC San Diego. Through their exposure to the program, students excel both on the court and in the classroom, Bohm said. “We have nine individual (squash) champions and two team champions, including the 2013 girls and boys senior national champions this year,” he said, noting the program has a 100 percent graduation rate. “I’m happy to say this year, all of our children in the graduating class are going to Ivy League schools again,” he said. Former professional squash player Renato Paiva (from Brazil), who is executive director of Access Youth Academy, said he witnessed a former gang member with drug problems go on to win nine squash titles and end up attending Columbia University on a full-ride scholarship from the Gates Foundation. The organization is working with Hoover High School to build a second facility with assistance from Proposition Z, the San Diego Unified School District bond measure. “Every dollar that we get into Access Youth Academy is matched through Proposition Z, dollar for dollar,” Bohm said. “We have a goal to match $3 million.” Access Youth Academy will hold its gala at La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club on Oct. 5.

Mayor’s the Man! … If he can quell the Cove stench OUR VIEW
M
ayor Bob Filner continues to hold the media spotlight as he charges through the bureaucracy at San Diego City Hall to get things done for the people who voted him into office just seven months ago. La Jollan’s fears that he would focus on city-core issues instead of neighborhood needs have proved unfounded, as the mayor’s presence in La Jolla has been steady since November. Though many fault him for closing the Children’s Pool after dark and stationing a police officer at the beach to keep the peace at taxpayer expense, others sing his praises for decisive action and wisdom in approving installation of the internationally popular Seal Cam. Now it appears the mayor has heard La Jolla’s calls for cleansing the fouled Cove cliffs — which emit a gut-wrenching stench that has been killing shoreline tourism for at least two years — and has ordered a vacuum cleanup within 10 days. The Light will be watching to see and smell if this happens. In the meantime, thank you Mayor Filner; your efforts will restore La Jolla’s confidence and prosperity. We’re a small slice of the San Diego pie, but a very sweet one.

Stop blaming SeaWorld for seal colony at Children’s Pool By Sara Wan Former Chair, California Coastal Commission
A
ccording to those who want to extirpate harbor seals at Casa Beach (Children’s Pool), SeaWorld’s “hand-raised seals were put here (Children’s Pool).” For years now, they have been telling everyone, that SeaWorld diverted “seals to La Jolla after care in the SeaWorld rescue program,” and that once the SeaWorld seals arrived at Casa Beach, they were joined by the Sara Wan wild seals. This is patently false. Since the beginning, more seals were rescued from La Jolla then were released there. Their assertions are scientifically unsubstantiated and required a truth-check, particularly since their selectively redacted data contained only release and not stranding (rescue) data. Wild seals were historically present at Casa Beach, as evidenced by the name “Seal Rock,” but left the area as their population plummeted due to hunting. After the cessation of hunting the population of harbor seals began to increase and in the late 1980s, early ’90s, the colony at
Begs to differ with city attorney over stance on medical pot shops City Attorney Jan Goldsmith applies high problematic logic in defense of his position that all medical marijuana dispensaries in the city are operating illegally (“No medical marijuana shops in San Diego,” May 9, 2013). Goldsmith states that “there are no marijuana dispensaries operating legally in San Diego because our zoning laws do not allow for them.” Using this logic, all businesses and non-profit organizations would be operating illegally
GUEST COMMENTARY Casa Beach established themselves from other rookeries, many from San Francisco (scientist Pamela Yochem, March 24, 2005). In 1989, SeaWorld began rescuing and releasing wild seals that were injured or sick. None of the seals released by SeaWorld was ever bred in captivity. Regardless of where seals may be released, they will usually travel back to their home colony, or to wherever they please. A fact that, in and of itself, argues against the assertion that SeaWorld is responsible for the seals at Casa Beach. You cannot “plant” seals. To understand this I obtained the complete data from NOAA, now available at www. wanconservancy.org. It’s no surprise that the complete data shows just the opposite of what has been claimed. During the period from 1989 to 2012, SeaWorld released a total of 171 rescued seals. That’s an average of 7.43 seals per year. From 1989 to September 1995, a total of 56 seals were rescued and released. Only six of these were released near La Jolla. Most were released southwest of Point Loma.
OUR READERS WRITE unless the zoning laws explicitly permit them. In fact, American law is based on the opposite logic; everything is legal unless it is explicitly made illegal. The California Supreme Court made it clear that cities have the right to prohibit the operation of medical marijuana dispensaries within their borders. However, doing so requires amendment of the city’s zoning laws to explicitly prohibit them. San Diego’s current zoning laws do no such thing. David Lebowitz La Jolla
During that same period, 14 seals were rescued off La Jolla, seven specifically from Casa Beach. What this shows is that there was already a colony at Casa Beach at the time the rescue program started. Additionally, in the 23 years of rescue operations, only 55 seals were released near La Jolla. In the same time, 63 seals were rescued off La Jolla and 12 off Del Mar and Solana Beach — close enough to have most likely come from La Jolla. Thus, there was no net gain from the rescue and release program and there is absolutely no evidence that the seals at Casa Beach were planted there by SeaWorld. In the final analysis, it really doesn’t matter where the seals may have come from. What matters is that they are here and we are all the richer for it. People come from all over the world to see these marine mammals. They are one of San Diego’s unique and valuable treasures and need to be protected for all. While writing this, I was viewing the Seal Cam, watching a class of students who had come to the beach to watch the seals. What better gift to the children of San Diego than the opportunity to see seals in their own environment and learn about why nature is so grand.
Seems majority favors protecting seal rookery at Casa Beach Kudos to Pat Sherman for his excellent reporting on the May 2 La Jolla Community Planning Association board discussions regarding the La Jolla harbor seal rookery/Casa Beach (aka Children’s Pool). An underreported aspect of this agenda item was the public’s participation in the discussion. Numerous people spoke in favor of and some

OPINION
www.lajollalight.com From Our Readers Write, a18 spoke against the concept of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat designation for Casa Beach. Two extremely important points were made by the public in favor of the designation. First, the La Jolla harbor seal rookery is a unique natural treasure contributing positively to the near-shore ecosystem and to public enjoyment through recreational seal watching. Secondly, the presence of the harbor seal rookery adds to the economic ecotourism potential of La Jolla. The speakers reminded LJCPA members that a larger viewpoint encompassing these two concepts should always be remembered and considered when debating the finer points of habitat management.
As a kid growing up in La Jolla in the 1950s, I was unable to watch harbor seals because none were present due to extensive hunting of them. Now that these top predators have returned to our local ecosystem, not only do I celebrate more species diversity and ecosystem richness, I also take pride in the fact that La Jolla has the only harbor seal rookery on the southern California mainland coast and the southernmost harbor seal rookery in the western United States. Sherman correctly noted that seal advocates present during the LJCPA meeting were in favor of vice-chair Joe LaCava’s concept of maintaining La Jolla’s other pocket beaches for occupation and use by the general public. Nobody that I am aware of wants to have South Casa, Shell Beach, Boomer or the Cove occupied by pinnipeds, however, setting aside one small beach for a very special

OPINION
Page A20 - May 16, 2013 - LA JOLLA LIGHT
From Our Readers Write, a19 installed at the Children’s Pool) sets forth simply serves to display her woeful ignorance of all things associated with the history and legacy of La Jolla. She states that it is “nonsense” that Ellen Browning Scripps donated the beach via a trust as a Children’s Pool. Should Ms. Wan care to avail herself of the copious documents housed at the La Jolla and San Diego Historical Societies, not to mention the roster of state historic trusts, she would discover that La Jolla’s great benefactress, Miss Scripps, did indeed donate the funds to build the sea wall and was instrumental in getting state legislation passed that established a trust designating the adjoining beach as a Children’s Pool in perpetuity. Ms. Wan debunks her own second “myth” that SeaWorld released seals to the Children’s Pool after rehabilitating them by stating, “It wouldn’t matter if they did.” This begs the question, what myth is Ms. Wan attempting to establish? Ms. Wan contradicts her third “myth” (people have a constitutional right to access to the beach) when she states, “Public access is controlled under the California Coastal Act, which addresses the need to protect the fragile eco-system.” If this were true, the public would not be allowed access to the beaches at La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Cove, WindanSea, and the myriad of beaches that stretch up and down the California coast. Apparently, none of those beaches require the protection of the eco-system by the CCA. In a related article in the same issue (“City seeks to close Children’s Pool during seal pup season”), La Jolla Parks and Beaches
advisory committee member and pro-seal advocate Jane Reldan erroneously refers to the Children’s Pool as Casa Beach in an attempt to obscure and deny the existence of the Children’s Pool. As anyone who knows the history of La Jolla can relate, Casa Beach is directly south of the Children’s Pool and was so named in the 1920s when the Casa de Manana hotel was built. It is the duty and obligation of all La Jollans whose families settled here in the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s to deny and debunk the “myths” and obfuscations perpetrated by people who have a vested financial and political interest in promoting their ideologies and businesses to the detriment of the history and legacy of The Jewel. J. Scott Strayer La Jolla
Children’s Pool ‘myths’ seem to remain so The La Jolla Light recently reported in an article on April 30, that Sara Wan had “debunked” three common “seal cam and beach access myths.” Unfortunately, Ms. Wan’s statements are false. First, she claims there is no Scripps “trust.” In fact, a ruling by the California Court of Appeals in O’Sullivan v. City of San Diego states “The (Children’s Pool) State Tidelands Trust was intended to convey to the City an artificial ocean water pool suitable for the use of children. As the recipient of the Trust and the Pool, it became the obligation of the City to maintain the Trust property in a manner suitable for its intended uses and

purposes.” Put in plain language; the pool was created and protected in Trust for use by humans, especially children. Second, Ms. Wan claims that seals were not released at Children’s Pool. Contrary to this claim, a court of law in O’Sullivan v. City of San Diego, has recognized, “the release of harbor seals is accomplished generally in the kelp beds immediately outside the Children’s Pool. Tagged harbor seals are routinely observed hauling-out at the Children’s Pool.” A Harbor Seal colony was created in La Jolla by the concentration of rehabilitated seals released just offshore from Children’s Pool. Finally, Ms. Wan claims that there is no constitutional right to access the beach. Once again, this claim is false. Article X, Section 4 (access rights) and Article I, Section 25 (fishing rights) of the State Constitution guarantee the right to access the Children’s Pool. The State Constitution says, “No individual ... shall be permitted to exclude the right of way to such water whenever it is required for any public purpose … so that access to the navigable waters of this State shall be always attainable for the people thereof.” This of course, is the basis of the California Coastal Act through a fundamental Constitutional right. As a former Coastal Commissioner, Wan must be aware of this. Unfortunately, Ms. Wan’s claims are just false. Facts are tough to ignore but it seems that “seal protection” can justify ignorance.

OTID went into extra innings tied 2-2 against Storm. La Jolla left the bases loaded three times along the way. Reed Farley pitched four solid innings. Mira Mesa
picked up a couple of unearned runs off of closer Carson Greene. Chasing two, the bottom of the lineup produced a hit and a couple of walks. Ryan McCasland stole home on a passed ball. With runners on the corners, two outs and two strikes, Greene crushed a high fastball into the gap that scored John Murphy from first to win the game — walk off style! The two LJ teams face each other 5 p.m. Saturday for bragging rights. Nine Pony players will be recognized for their “Decade on the Diamond,” playing 10 consecutive years in LJYB.

Last Saturday, the elimination game between Mitch’s Surf Shop and Pharmatek was a defensive and pitching battle with a 1-1 tie going into the sixth inning. Coach Rick Macdonald executed his small-ball strategy with consecutive bunts that each produced runs. P-tek ended the inning on an interesting note with Marcus Scott on the hill, who pulled the infield in for a chat and called a hidden ball play with two outs and runners on the corners.

What brought you to La Jolla? I was raised in Los Angeles and our family vacations were spent in San Diego, boating, at the racetrack, fishing, and in Tijuana at the dog races and the jai-alai games. Little did I know, I would settle here one day. I married and raised my children in L.A. Seventeen years later, I was single again and dating. L.A. men, in general, were just not my cup of tea. Lo and behold, my childhood girlfriend, who moved to San Diego, called and asked me if I was interested in going out with her gynecologist and friend, Myron Schonbrun. He was originally from Toledo, Ohio, with good midwestern values, charming, funny, cultured, a bookworm — and did I mention twinkling blue eyes? On the second date, I decided I would let this

There are nearly 10 consignment shops in La Jolla (and a Goodwill store coming soon to Girard Avenue) that offer previously owned clothing and accessories from top designers. The storeowners have theories on why La Jolla is a great resale-shop community, why having the right atmosphere is important, what their best sellers are and why consignment shopping is so accepted.

Arrivederci, rain
Let Inga tell you ...
W
La Jolla Cultural Partners
hen I first moved to San Diego, I was puzzled that people invited me out for coffee or lunch “if it’s not raining.” Did restaurants and coffee shops in sunny places like San Diego close in inclement weather? Efforts to get to the bottom of this were initially unsuccessful until it was finally explained to me why Southern Californians don’t go out in showery conditions: It’s wet. San Diegans do not do wet. We are used to dry. Sometimes really dry. As the joke goes, our four seasons are fire, earthquake, landslide, and drought. But having such a cooperative climate
does make the locals really testy when precipitation should interfere with one’s tee (or tea) time. In fact that’s another piece of data I remember from a long-ago Chamber of Commerce brochure: 304 golfing days per year. If one lives here long enough, one comes to feel that there is simply no excuse for meteorological conditions interfering with one’s plans the other 61 days either. Besides San Diego, I’ve lived in the Northeast, in the Midwest, on the equator, and in Scandinavia, all locales with no lack of rain. The romance can go out of rain pretty fast in those places. In fact, when we lived in Stockholm, I spent two whole summers exhorting Thor to stop with the precipitation already! Even so, when we moved in Sweden, it caused us physical pain to waste water after so many years of living in drought-ridden San Diego. The hot water in our Stockholm apartment took
five full minutes to come in (we think it was coming from Oslo) which meant leaving the shower running that long. We had to stifle an urge to be filling up buckets to be used later for … tossing off our balcony onto the asphalt courtyard below? Meanwhile, in San Diego a rainy year (and this term would be exceedingly relative) might mean no water rationing come June (hah!), and the waiving of those truly annoying before 10 a.m./after 6 p.m. watering rules on one’s allotted watering days. I love it when it rains here. One has whole malls to oneself. In my view, nothing is nicer than an afternoon at home listening to a gentle rain plinking on the roof. (It’s much nicer than the more ubiquitous sound of sea bird droppings hitting the skylights, which is more in the splot family.) Of course, one of the reasons one can truly love rain here is that we get so little of it. The storms come
down from the Pacific Northwest, inflict watery mayhem on the entire west coast then take a sudden U-ey at L.A. and head out to Colorado. It’s profoundly annoying. San Diego has been stood up by more storms than anyone could count. But none of this keeps the ever-optimistic local TV station’s Storm Watch team, lathered into a frenzy at the possibility of a tenth of an inch of rain, from dutifully standing on the beach at La Jolla Shores in their yellow slickers breathlessly predicting imminent doom while the waves in the background lap gently on the sand. But, they swear, the rain really is coming! And it could be catastrophic! They just look so earnest and
hopeful, you want it to rain for no other reason than it would make them happy. And for once, right. Running out of things to say on the beach, where the storm winds have not so much ruffled a strand on the newscaster’s perfectly coiffed head, the newscast cuts to live camera crews driving around Kearny Mesa where a zoom to the windshield reveals exactly three drops — proof that yes, it really IS (sort of) raining! Cut to green blobs on the TV studio’s Doppler Radar screen which prove once and for all, that … that … somebody somewhere is getting some rain! Just not us. When it last significantly rained on March 8 (I’m not
counting the April 15 drizzle or even the “May miracle” showers on May 6), I felt a definite sadness knowing that San Diego’s Pray-for-Rain season was over and we probably wouldn’t see serious precipitation again until October — if then. Once again, our rumored average 9.5 inch (more hah!) “rain year” rainfall fell short of the mark limping in at around six. So let the water rationing and the humongo water bills begin. And meanwhile, Thor, I take it all back. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach Inga by e-mail at inga47@san.rr.com

Naked Cafe keeps it simple, natural and casual By Kelley Carlson cross the street from Fletcher Cove Beach Park in Solana Beach is the original Naked Cafe, where the fare is au naturel and the tables are rarely bare. This popular yet laid-back eatery with four locations in San Diego County focuses on sustainability in everything from its cuisine to its décor. It’s very casual, with dark wood floors and bamboo walls, artwork created from scrap metal, and picturesque photos snapped by local residents. Patrons relax and watch people frolicking at the beach across the street, while chatting with their neighbors over the sounds of light adult alternative melodies, and sipping mugs of Pumpkin Spice Coffee Latte. Meanwhile, their kids keep busy with crayons and paper. When the weather is consistently warm, the glass windows are removed and the plastic is rolled up, converting the dining room into a patio. The food itself is whole food-based and simple, and many of the dishes are prepared by grilling or steaming. “You can pick out (the ingredients) one by one if you have a refined palate,” owner Gabe Wheeler said. “It’s simple, but in a way complex, because of the time (it takes to prepare).” The Naked Cafe makes its own breads and sauces and can customize items as needed.

n This week’s recipe: Naked Café’s Papaya and Mango Mint Salsa at all four of the restaurant’s locations — identifies vegan and gluten-free entrees, along with products that contain nuts. It breaks down its dishes into several categories, such as “Look Good Naked” — foods that are more “figure-friendly.” “You know how many calories you’re taking in,” Wheeler explained. These include Wheeler’s favorite, the Soy Chorizo, Avocado & Egg White Burritos with black beans, green onions, tomatoes and salsa wrapped in whole-grain tortillas; and the Pesto Scramble featuring four egg whites combined with pesto, green onions and diced tomatoes, and served with grilled zucchini, mixed baby organic greens and a whole-grain spinach tortilla.
The day is winding down in the Naked Cafe’s dining room/patio. Then, there’s the “Naked Experience” foods, which aren’t quite as “light,” but still stay true to the simplicity concept. For example, the Green & Red Pagoda is composed of rosemary toast layered with pesto, soy sausage, two over-medium eggs, avocado, artichoke hears and sun-dried tomatoes, and it comes with a side of mixed baby greens. The “Infused Dishes” are mildly spicy and include Sesame Ginger Chicken Soft Tacos that can be substituted with tofu. The filling is enveloped in two whole-grain tortillas with baby greens and Thai peanut sauce, and served with black beans and coconut brown rice. Customers who want a bit more control

For breakfast, patrons have the ability to choose between thick stacks of Gen. X Buttermilk or Gen. Y Organic Whole Grain Pancakes, and then pick from groups of toppings. A sweet choice where syrup is optional is the Banana, Blackberry with thick chunks of the yellow fruit and whole berries. Those who may not be able to finish their meals are encouraged to bring their own containers for leftovers, if possible. Oh, and for those who are left wondering about the dress code: Yes, clothing is required.

HuNt SLoNEm with his first solo exhibition in San Diego:
“Butterflies & reBirth” Sublimely decorative yet deeply spiritual, Hunt Slonem’s work is filled with light and color, with exotic birds, animals, saints, and Hollywood stars. His art celebrates the glory of life while underlining the threats that our civilization poses to the natural world. Slonem’s canvases emphasize an aesthetic of ocular activity; the viewer’s eye is set in almost constant motion, flicking about to take in the entire rectangle. The butterflies themselves come into focus as his central subject only after the few seconds it takes to apprehend the whole painting. They are rarely in sharp focus; their shapes are somewhat misted and often repeated, so as to create a pattern which itself must be uncoded. Again, this all happens in only a few seconds, before the creatures can be given individuation and appreciated as belonging to a distinct species. In all of Slonem’s work, after one has studied it for a time, there is seriousness about painting. The various devices that divide the space, render it shallow, thus keeping the work coherent in its own terms, adds up to a consistent investigation of post- cubist abstraction. By varying the moods and techniques of his work in fresh and exciting ways, Hunt Slonem creates a beautiful work that continually gives joy and surprise.

Hunt Slonem was born in Kittery, Maine in 1951. His fascination with exotica imprinted during his childhood in Hawaii and experience as a foreign exchange student in Managua, Nicaragua. Since 1977, Slonem has had over 250 solo exhibitions at prestigious galleries. Museums both domestic and international have collected his work, among them The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Slonem lives and works in New York City in his legendary loft which houses an aviary for his 70 exotic birds. The studio is a work of art itself, a lush and sensuous environment, filled with not only birds and plants, but also a collection of Baroque and Neo-Gothic furniture, Blenko glass and brilliantly hued rooms that house a dazzling array of paintings in period frames. He also owns a Victorian mansion in Hudson, New York and two plantation homes in Louisiana.

They go to Italy, they go to Spain, they go to London and they buy clothes,” she said, adding they then consign them to Second Act. “You get a wonderful variety of clothing here that maybe you don’t get everywhere else.” Comparing the weather in La Jolla to places like New York, where rain and snow can damage clothes, Alksne said the conditions in La Jolla also contribute to the great condition of clothes.

Acclaimed mandolinist Avi Avital is the featured performer in the concert, part of the Symphony’s Chamber Music Series. Uwe Arens
David Bruce, associate composer for the San Diego Symphony, whose piece for mandolin and strings will have its world premiere at TSRI May 21. Neil Matthews
Young mandolin virtuoso will join symphony for world premiere piece By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt oming to the Auditorium at TSRI on May 21 is an unusual concert by Grammy-nominated mandolin virtuoso Avi Avital and members of the San Diego Symphony. The concert, part of the Symphony’s chamber music series, will feature the world premiere of a piece for mandolin and strings by David Bruce, the Symphony’s Associate Composer for 2013-14. This is a big year for the San Diego Symphony, which is now showing its stuff to the world. In November, they’ll be touring China, and just before that, they’ll perform — for the first time — at Carnegie Hall. Among the pieces they’ll bring to the Big Apple is another world premiere by David Bruce. Bruce, born in Connecticut and raised in England, has been building a big reputation in the states and abroad, where he is finishing a year as composer-in-residence with the Royal Opera House in London. San Diegans recently had a chance to cheer his delightful “Steampunk,” a piece for strings and horns, at an April performance by Art of Elan. Now the Symphony has commissioned him to write three new works, of which “Cymbeline,” specially tailored to the talents of mandolinist Avital, is the first. Avital, born in Israel, now lives in Berlin. His unique approach to the mandolin has brought him rock-star status. He was a young child when he first became interested in the instrument, and at age 8, he was playing in a mandolin orchestra. An award-winning musician and arranger, he is best known for his transcriptions of Bach for the mandolin, though he definitely thinks outside the Bachs, and is dedicated to extending the mandolin repertoire in all directions,

If you go ■ What: Avi Avital performs with members of the San Diego Symphony ■ When: 7:30 p.m. May 21 ■ Where: Auditorium at TRSI, 10640 John Jay Hopkins Drive ■ Tickets: $30 ■ Box Office: (619) 235.0804 ■W ebsite: sandiegosymphony.com including folk music, klezmer and jazz. The May 21 concert promises a broad display of his range and of the mandolins. “For many in the audience, it may be the first time they’re hearing the mandolin,” Avital said. “So I hope to give them a full panorama, from Bach to a hot-out-of-the-oven new piece by David Bruce, and some of the stations along the way, like (Argentinian
composer) Alberto Ginastera and (violinist/composer) Ernest Bloch. It’s going to be an exciting program. I can’t wait to hear the new piece myself!” Avital noted that, though the mandolin is not very well known as a classical instrument, amateur mandolin orchestras have been popular over the last century in Europe and around the world. “It’s a good after-work instrument,” he said. “Pretty much the first time you take one in your hand, you can play something. It’s user-friendly, not as hard as the violin, which you really have to practice. In Israel, it was popular on the kibbutz, where music was considered an important part of life, along with working the land. Children learned mandolin in school; it was not a dangerous instrument, because who would consider leaving the kibbutz to have a mandolin career?” Which is pretty much what Avital did. Hear the results for yourself on May 21.
About the Mandolin ■ The mandolin is a member of the lute family, related to the Chinese pipa, the Arabian oud, the Indian sitar and the Hawaiian (introduced by the Portuguese) ukulele. ■ Popular in 18th century Italy, it is now considered Italy’s national instrument. ■ In the first half of the From left: Banjo-mandolin, standard mandolin, 20th century, mandolin three-course mandolin and tenor mandola orchestras were the rage in many countries, including Israel and Japan. ■ In the United States, the mandolin took a new turn in the 1940s, when Bill Monroe made it a staple of bluegrass music.

Diavolo Dance Theater leaps into La Jolla this weekend By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Diavolo — the name, a mix of Spanish, Greek and Latin roughly meaning “I will fly through the day” — sounds about right for Diavolo Dance Theater, coming to La Jolla’s Jewish Community Center May 18 and 19. The company has been hailed by reviewers around the world for “leaping, flying, and spinning ... with astounding athleticism and infinite grace.” Here’s how Diavolo defines itself: “An internationally renowned dance company that reinvents dance, reimagines theater, and redefines thrills, Diavolo takes movement, athletics, and daring to the extreme, creating abstract narratives about the human experience through surreal tableaux.” The company was founded in 1992 by French-born Jacques Heim, shortly after he received his MFA in choreography from the California Institute for the Arts. Heim’s work has been varied and global, including BBC America’s “Dancing with the Stars,” the opening
If you go ■ What: Diavolo Dance Theater ■ When: 8 p.m. May 18; 2 p.m. May 19 ■ Where: Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla ■ Tickets: $28-$75 (VIP tickets include a reception) ■ Box Office: (858) 3621348 ■ Website: lfjcc.org ceremony of the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, and “KA,” the permanent Cirque du Soleil show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. But Diavolo, based in L.A., is his multi-awardwinning baby, officially recognized as a “cultural treasure” by the City of Los Angeles. For 21 years now, he has been its artistic director, although he confesses that he is “pretty much the most unathletic person you could imagine,” and dance was something
Empowering Girls Beyond Body Image
he fell into by accident. “When I was young, I was a rebel,” he said. “After I was kicked out of six different schools in Paris, I decided to get my education by forming a street theater group. My parents thought I’d do better in the U.S, the land of opportunity, so they sent me to Middlebury College in Vermont. I started out in the theater department, studying acting, but I had such a heavy French accent, no one could understand me. Finally, a friend of mine suggested: ‘Why don’t you take some dance classes? At least you won’t have to speak!’” What Heim was really interested in was architecture. “I’m not a dancer,” he said. “And I consider myself more an architect of motion than a choreographer. I see movement, patterns, connections and disconnections in architecture. I see people in the streets moving around buildings, and I want to explore that, the relation between structures and movement. My work is inspired by architects like Santiago Calatrava and Frank Gehry.”
Your reflection does not define your beauty
Diavolo Dance Theatre is known for its daring and graceful athleticism. Rose Eichenbaum A new piece always begins with a large-scale structure — a set of stairs, perhaps, or a door, or a cube. “If I had to start out on a bare stage, I wouldn’t know what to do,” Heim said. “I take a piece of architecture and tweak it with a fusion of everyday
movements, ballet, modern dance, gymnastics, acrobatics, martial arts, hiphop, and there you have it. That’s Diavolo!” There are underlying themes to all the pieces: Human struggle and the human condition, fear,
survival, danger, order, deconstruction, reconstruction, destiny and destination, faith and love. Heim relies on his dancers to help him discover the movement. “They’re teammates, gladiators, pushing every aspect of mind and body. It’s very exhilarating,” he said. Diavolo’s program at the JCC promises to be exhilarating, too. They’ll start with one of their most recent works, “Fearful Symmetry,” with music by John Adams; it’s Part Two of a trilogy commissioned by the L.A. Philharmonic. Then there are two short, amusing pieces, “Bench” and “Knockturne,” and they’ll end with one of their earliest works, “Tete en l’Air,” which Heim calls “a collage of surreal scenes that don’t seem to make any sense.” “That’s what life is like sometimes,” he said. “You have to make sense out of things when you don’t know what’s happening. What Diavolo does is create a live abstract painting. You have to create your own meaning.”

You will be bidding on a lien, not the property itself. Placing the highest bid at 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www. Priorityposting.com , using the file number assigned to this case 18852CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. In addition, the borrower on the loan shall be sent a written notice if the sale has been postponed for at least ten (10) business days. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

www.lajollalight.com From 10 QUESTIONS, B1 man chase me until I caught him. He became the love of my life. After several years, much to his astonishment, his 15 years of bachelorhood came to an end, and we were married. We fell in love with the magical seaside community of La Jolla where we bought our first home and have no intention of ever leaving. What would you improve in the area? The downward economy and the loss of so many of our fine longtime La Jolla establishments is sad. Here’s hoping for a continued upward economic trend. I would like to see more good stores, less gyms, and the return of a local movie theater. Speaking of a theater, perhaps a small playhouse for budding actors and veteran actors? Furthermore, thank you to local government officials for the diminishing number of potholes in the area and for saving the seals. Next, let’s get rid of the stench.
What’s on YOUR mind?
passed away last month with a keen mind at 98-1/2 years old. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom would you invite? I would invite my charming husband, Leonardo da Vinci, Jan Vermeer, Pytor Tchaikovsky, Indira Ghandi, Golda Meir, Albert Einstein, Jenny Churchill, Cleopatra, Abraham Lincoln, the Dali Lama and Cary Grant. I invited a few more than eight guests in light of regrets due to busy schedules. What are your five favorite films? I love movies from every era, however, from the top of my head I would have to say, “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg,” “Gone With The Wind,” “Shawshank Redemption,” “To Kill A Mockingbird” and “Gigi.” What is it you most dislike? Prejudice, violence and ignorance. What is your mostmarked characteristic? I would like to think it is compassion for others.
What is your philosophy of life? A quality life is a life of balance. First family, then real friends balanced with continuing intellectual curiosity, creativity, volunteerism, and spiritual awakening.
BEST GARDEN PHOTO
What is your greatest extravagance? That would be the purchase of two pieces of art by one of my favorite artists.

What would be your dream vacation? I have a recurring vision that Myron and I have a vacation home in Sienna, Italy. The house sits on a large plateau overlooking rolling green hills interspersed with goats, sheep, and fragrant groves of olive trees. There is a table set with colorful traditional ceramic plates, good food, and wine ready to be served. Our five children and nine grandchildren are staying with us for the summer. The children have been busy playing and now everyone sits down for dinner together as the sun begins to set.

Who or what inspires you? I am inspired by those who prevail over illness or tragedy, for example, my students at the San Diego Center For Children. I am inspired by man’s humanity to others less fortunate. I am inspired by good, kind, hard-working people who take pride in the most menial of jobs. I am inspired by great genius and creativity. I am inspired by and protective of the exquisite and profound beauty found in nature, the ocean, and the flora and fauna. I am inspired by my husband and children, their goodness, care and support. I was deeply inspired by my precious father who always said, “Just keep running, so they can’t catch you.” He
