Marine father, son honored with plaques on new Soledad veterans memorial walls By Pat Sherman he Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial Association unveiled five new memorial walls during a ceremony May 15 at Mount Soledad Natural Park. The association donated the first two plaques at the site in honor of the late Marine Sgt. Maj. Jean “Cheesy” Neil, and his son, Brig. Gen. Michael Neil. Both had highly distinguished careers in the Marine Corps, and lived in San Diego. Michael Neil, 72, was commanding general of Camp Pendleton during the Gulf War. His father, Jean, spent three decades in the Marines, and fought many battles in the Pacific during World War II. Addressing about 80 people in attendance, Michael Neil said he resisted attempts to have a plaque in his honor dedicated at the site, until the idea of honoring him alongside his father was suggested. “I like to attribute whatever discipline or success I’ve had in my life in large part to my father,” he said, remembering Jean Neil as a “tough guy” who once refused to let his son take a day off military service, despite being exhausted from work and basketball practice.

By Ashley Mackin Though seal pupping season ended May 15, Children’s Pool beach is still undergoing changes due to actions taken by the city. There is no longer a police officer on duty and the beach is no longer closed at night, but there is still a ranger on patrol during the day, and the 152-foot-long rope barrier remains as a visual reminder for people to stay a safe distance from the seals. A city-mandated monitoring program will soon be in place. The city also collected public comments regarding a possible full-time beach closure during pupping season. In an e-mail to La Jolla Light, dated May 10, San Diego Police Captain Brian Ahearn said, “We will no longer be permanently stationing an officer at the (Children’s Pool) unless something changes.

Air show will salute San Diego’s wartime spirit From Local Reports
Area aviators will play key roles in the 18th annual “Wings Over Gillespie” Air Show, June 1-2 at Gillespie Field in El Cajon. The weekend event features flybys, mock battles and tributes to military veterans. This year’s show commemorates San Diego’s contributions to World War II and its “Arsenal of Democracy,” the fleet of war machines that were designed or built here. Dozens of planes will take to the skies during the event, including Consolidated’s famed “flying boat,” the PBY Catalina, and one of the few PB4Y-2 Privateers still flying today. Aviation buff Bill Allen of La Jolla, whose family’s roots in real estate and polo go deep, will fly a rare 1940 Ryan STM2, built in town under military contract for the Dutch, and later flown by the Royal

Allen not only flies vintage aircraft, he collects them, boasting a small fleet of planes that includes a 1945 Stearman PT-17, once owned by the late actor Steve McQueen. Allen and his wife, Claudia, own and operate the Allen Airways Flying Museum at Gillespie Field, a collection of aviation memorabilia — from posters to battered propellers, leather helmets,
and even a gas can used to refuel Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis. The air show chair is Bob Simon of Del Mar, a retired American Airlines captain and Naval aviator, who now owns and flies a Stearman biplane named after his wife, D’Marie. Also from Del Mar is assistant chair Erich Moulder, a corporate jet pilot, who will fly “Sassy,” a SNJ World War II trainer in
the show. Last year’s air show chair, John Telles of Vista, is a retired Marine pilot who flew the presidential helicopter known as Marine One during the Nixon and Ford administrations. New to this year’s show is the Silver Wings Wingwalking team, combining flying and artistry in a dynamic sky ballet on the wings of Stearman bi-planes.

Frontline: Cancer Scott M. Lippman, M.D.
Leading the charge to make cancer medicine better
R
ecently, Time magazine emblazoned its cover with the headline “How to Cure Cancer” and suggested, perhaps a bit too breathlessly, that major breakthroughs were just around the corner. There is reason for optimism. Now is a time of truly unprecedented scientific innovation and clinical revolution in cancer research and therapy. We understand the nature of cancer better than ever; we have more tools and tricks. But progress still comes too slowly for the almost 600,000 Americans who will die this year from cancer. Cancer is the nation’s second leading cause of death (after heart disease), but No. 1 in the San Diego region. There is little time to celebrate our incomplete success. Cancer demands the full talents and resources of scientists and physicians everywhere, preferably working together. This has long been the mantra in San Diego, home to the second largest cluster of biotech companies in the U.S., and upon the research mesa here in La Jolla. Our communal sense of purpose and collaboration has been strengthened by a
recent strategic alliance to advance cancer medicine. In March 2013, the three National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centers in La Jolla joined to create the novel San Diego NCI Cancer Centers Council, or C3, designed to more effectively leverage our distinct and combined strengths. Two C3 centers are the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the SanfordBurnham Medical Research Institute, two of only seven NCI-designated basic science cancer centers nationwide. The third is UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, the region’s only NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center and the clinical hub for exciting C3 interactions. These centers, through C3 and independently, collaborate with exceptional cancer researchers at other major institutes on the mesa such as the J Craig Venter Institute, The Scripps Research Institute, and the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology. C3 allows us to broaden and deepen our respective and collective abilities. There
will be greater interaction between the cancer centers, from bench to bedside. Doctors and scientists will share access to areas like bioinformatics, genomics and clinical trials. Both science and patients will benefit from major thrusts of C3 scientists, including precisely applied cancer therapy. The landscape of cancer and its care is changing rapidly. Genomic research has unraveled many underlying abnormalities that drive cancer. Hard experience has shown that there is no one-size-fits-all therapy. Fortunately, we now have powerful ways to sequence the DNA in, and identify specific aberrations that caused, a particular patient’s cancer. Many drugs now available can specifically target the genomic drivers in tumors. These drugs often can kill tumor cells, which harbor the drug’s target, with minimal damage to healthy organs, where the target is absent. This makes for effective drugs with few side effects. Still, the drugs must be given to the “right” patients, which happens only after we use the most advanced genomic sequencing technologies to understand each patient’s tumor. This is precision or personalized cancer medicine. Top scientists and investigators, such as Dr. Razelle Kurzrock, are working within C3 to bring personalized therapy to cancer patients now, not five or 10 years from
now. Her research has shown that molecular profiling and personalized, targeted therapy benefited about 50 percent of patients with advanced cancer — only about five percent of these patients would be expected to benefit from conventional therapy. She is now developing the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy at the Moores Cancer Center, where C3 investigators and industry partners in San Diego will bring the personalized products of their collaborative research to patients in the clinic. In the months ahead, I will describe these efforts and the challenges we face as scientists, doctors, citizens and patients. I will talk about the cancer picture, from the marvelous curative possibilities of stem cells to the realities of palliative care. We may never “cure” cancer — no matter what magazine covers declare — but it is becoming increasingly possible to disrobe the “emperor of all maladies,” to strip away cancer’s clever defenses and reduce it to near invisibility. That would be something to see. — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care will appear in the La Jolla Light the fourth Thursday of each month.

Scientists find Asian monsoon getting predictable
F
or much of Asia, the arrival of the summer rainy season known as the monsoon is important for water and the food security of more than a billion people. Variations in the monsoon cycle, however, can lead to drought and floods. Now a Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), UC San Diego-led study reports that a winter appearance of El Niño in the Pacific Ocean can leave its mark on monsoon formation in the Indian Ocean a full six months later. El Niño is a climate phenomenon coupling the ocean and atmosphere that includes a shift in the distribution of warm water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean and is characterized by unusual weather and storm activity globally. Violent storm activity associated with El Niño takes place in the eastern Pacific Ocean, but the chain of events ultimately ends up being detected in the western Pacific Ocean. Think of it like an “echo effect” in which El Niño pulls clouds and convection eastward toward the International Date Line. In so doing, those clouds are not available over the western Pacific to keep ocean surface temperatures cool. It also weakens winds in the northern Indian Ocean and the effects of those weakened winds travel back eastward to the Pacific Ocean. The SIO paper shows this coupling of ocean-atmospheric anomalies is
Women in Science: 50 years after ‘Silent Spring’ La Jolla Light science columnist Lynne Friedmann will be a featured speaker at a public forum “Women in Science: 50 years after Silent Spring.” The event runs 5:30-7 p.m. Wednesday, June 5 at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, Balboa Park. The discussion in sponsored by The Center for Ethics in Science and Technology (ethicscenter.net) in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the publication of Rachel Carson’s landmark book,” Silent Spring.” Carson’s legacy is widely known, but the challenges she faced are not as widely recognized. One of the challenges was an establishment that was not yet welcoming to women in science. Much has changed in the past 50 years, but questions remain as to how far we have come and how far we have to go. The event is free; registration is required at ethicscenter.net/SilentSpring-June2013

predictable a season ahead. Such predictions have tremendous planning benefits for affected areas. The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. News release at http://bit.ly/129hbQz. Heroin vaccine blocks relapse Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) report success in preclinical tests of a new vaccine against heroin addiction. Designing an effective heroin vaccine is challenging because the drug rapidly breaks down in the bloodstream metabolizing into another compound (6-acetylmorphine) which crosses into the brain and accounts for much of heroin’s effect. The TSRI heroin vaccine is designed to elicit antibodies against both heroin, 6-acetylmorphine, and morphine. To test the vaccine’s effectiveness in heroin-addicted rats, animals trained to press a lever to get a heroin infusion went through sessions of “extinction training,” in which lever presses no longer delivered infusions. In unvaccinated rats later reintroduced to heroin, a single infusion immediately reinstated their drug-seeking, lever-pressing behavior. Vaccinated rats, however, did not resume previous heroinseeking actions. The heroin vaccine is one of several drugabuse vaccines developed since the 1990s by scientists at TSRI and other institutions. Findings reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. News release at http://bit.ly/128DMMU. Fat: Possible treatment for heart failure? Physicians at Scripps Clinic are taking part in a nationwide clinical trial investigating the use of stem cells from an individual’s own fat tissue as a treatment for a severe form of heart failure and coronary artery disease. The premise is that injecting healthy stem cells into damaged heart tissue will foster the growth of healthy muscle tissue. And using cells derived from one’s fat tissue means cells be harvested and injected into the heart within hours. In this randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study, participants have a minor liposuction procedure to remove approximately one-half cup of fat (adipose) tissue. Following the liposuction, harvested fat is processed to separate and concentrate cells. A prescribed dose of cells or a placebo is then injected back into their damaged heart tissue using a minimally invasive catheter system. The trial, named ATHENA, is sponsored by San Diego-based Cytori Therapeutics, the developer of this novel potential treatment.

Assistant chief says community support vital to police work By Susan DeMaggio Shelley Zimmerman told the room full of people who came to hear details about her 30-year career in law enforcement that she never imagined she would be promoted to Assistant Chief of Police in San Diego. “Me, a kid from Cleveland with this dream job … how did I get here? I have lot of experience and training, but so do others. “One thing I know is that I’ve chosen to live my life with a positive outlook, and when you have a positive outlook, you can influence people,” she said. “You can be that person who makes a day better for someone.” As guest of the La Jolla Community Center’s Distinguished Speakers Series, Zimmerman said she loves — really loves — being a police officer because it is the only job where you can use everything you’ve ever learned, no matter how seemingly insignificant. “Being a police officer is having a front row seat to the greatest show on Earth. I never imagined … I love it.” Having earned many awards and citations for her work in Vice, Narcotics, Internal Affairs, the Mayor’s Executive Protection Detail, and Multi-Cultural Community Relations, these days her time is

spent overseeing the Neighborhood Policing section. This includes: the Regional Police Academy, Backgrounds, In-Service and Field Training, Juvenile Administration, the Police Range, Volunteer Services, Information Services, Crime Analysis, Communications and Human Resources. She is also the police liaison with the Commission on Gang Prevention, STAR-PAL, Crime Stoppers, Labor Relations, SD Police Foundation, the Hotel/ Motel Association, and the Chief’s Advisory Boards. In her spare time, she is training
for the Triathlon Challenge, Oct. 20 at La Jolla Cove, to raise money for prosthesis’s for injured first responders. “I like giving back to my community,” she said. “It’s who I am.” Zimmerman, a graduate of Ohio State University with a degree in criminal justice and a graduate of the FBI National Academy, chronicled her rise through the ranks. Her stories mirrored police drama plot lines, “but I’m leaving out the hours of paperwork cops must put in — they never show that on TV!” she joked. In the 1980s, as a rookie with a youthful face, Zimmerman said she was sent undercover in the high schools to report on the drug scene. “Kids were doing meth lines on books and making pipes to smoke marijuana in shop class,” she said. “I bought acid, meth, PCP, cocaine — often right in class — it was bad. “For my next assignment, I went undercover as a prostitute in Vice, and I must have done a great job because my sergeant said, “Zimmerman, you’re the best prostitute out there,” she laughed. “Oh, I have many vice stories, but of course I can’t tell you … From night vice, I went to day vice, gambling, narcotics … eventually I was captain of the Northern

And as for the seals, I got so familiar with them that I named them. “I never took an assignment for more than three years. I’ve worked every patrol command, and there are nine of them. No two days are ever alike for me.” Zimmerman acknowledged that in San Diego (with 340 square miles and 1.3 million people), the police force at 1,969 officers is stretched thin. It’s down about 110 agents, and struggles with a recruitment and retention issue. (Police recruits earn $23.22/hour, $48,000/year.
Police Officer I level earns $54,000$60,000/year.) Zimmerman said 700 community volunteers and 1,000 Neighborhood Watch captains are the city’s keys to curbing crime. “San Diego communities are caring; neighbors help neighbors, that’s been the case in the wild fires, the big power outage … we’re using social networking (check out nextdoor.com) to help connect with folks.” When Zimmerman took questions from the audience, people wanted to know how to report burned out street lights, motorists who don’t know the rules of roundabouts, and dog owners whose canines charge walkers. In all cases, her answer was: Call Northern Division Officer Larry Hesselgesser at (858) 552-1700. “Police can’t address problems they don’t know about,” she said. “You can all help by being our eyes and ears in the neighborhoods.” Zimmerman said her career was inspired by her father, a World War II veteran who served in three theaters, became a lawyer, and raised four successful children. Her presentation ended in applause, and an appreciative comment from a listener, “You are an admirable young lady, and I will tell my grandchildren about you!”

Torn Meniscus TreaTMenT opTions
Risk for a torn meniscus increases with age and is more likely with arthritis. About 1/3 of people over 50 have a meniscus tear. Performing any weight bearing activities that cause the knee to twist or rotate can increase the chance of a tear as well. At Ability Rehab, our licensed physical therapists have successfully treated knee pain from arthritis, tears, sprains/strains, or post-surgical rehab. P.S. Usually a torn meniscus doesn’t present symptoms but is accompanied by pain, which may make it difficult to determine if the pain is from arthritis or due to a tear. If you are experiencing knee pain, call your MD to find out if PT is right for you.

According to a recent article on CBSNews.com, a study published on March 18, 2013 in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed that physical therapy (PT) can be just as effective as surgery in treating a torn meniscus.The study consisted of 351 adults over the age of 45 with arthritis and meniscus tears. Of those who tried PT, 30% had surgery after 6 months. However, those individuals ended up with the same results as those who stuck with PT and avoided surgery all together and those who had surgery right way.

San Diego-based Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods will be honored with plaques during a ceremony at the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial on Memorial Day.

Navy SEALs killed in Benghazi to be honored at Soledad Memorial Day event Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods will be remembered with plaques during this year’s Memorial Day observance, 2 p.m. May 27 at the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial, 6905 La Jolla Scenic Drive South. Doherty, of Encinitas, and Woods, of Imperial Beach, were assigned to security detail in Benghazi, Libya, when they were killed in a terrorist attack that began on Sept. 11, 2012. Members of their family will be present. The keynote address will be delivered by Navy SEAL Captain Jason Ehret, who was a close friend of Doherty. Woods, 41, served more than two decades
as a Navy SEAL, including multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since 2010, he protected American diplomatic personnel in dangerous posts from Central America to the Middle East. He earned distinction as a registered nurse and certified paramedic. Doherty, 42, joined the Navy SEALs in 1995. His team was the first to respond to the attack on the USS Cole. He was an experienced paramedic and sniper who repeatedly put his life on the line, protecting Americans in Iraq, Afghanistan and other hot spots. The ceremony includes music by Navy Band Southwest Brass Quintet, the La Jolla
Country Day School Madrigal Singers, a 21gun salute performed by Marine color guard and rifle team, and a flyover in the “Missing Man” formation by the San Diego T-34 Performance Team. Old Town Trolley will provide complimentary shuttle service to and from the memorial from nearby Mt. Soledad Presbyterian Church and the French American School parking lots, both located on Soledad Mountain Road. Information about the memorial, located on federal land and maintained by the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association, is at soledadmemorial.com or (858) 459-2314.
n Memorial Day observance at Miramar A veterans memorial service also will be held 1 p.m., Sunday, May 26 at Miramar National Cemetery, 5795 Nobel Drive in San Diego, between Interstate 805 and Miramar Road, west of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Active duty military, veterans, families and members of the public are invited. Free parking is available on the Avenue of Flags and cemetery streets. The service includes recognition of veterans groups, speakers and a performance by the Marine Corps band. For more information, call (858) 658-7360. — From staff reports

From Children’s Pool, A1
About 80 people attended the dedication of five new veterans memorial walls atop Mount Soledad May 15. Pat Sherman
FROM Heroes, A1 “I think if we had more tough fathers like that in this world today we’d have far less problems,” Neil said. Addressing the crowd, retired U.S. Navy chaplain, Fr. Brian Kelly, extolled Jean and Michael Neil for “dedicating themselves to God, family and country. “May the values they hold so deeply in their heart inspire generations of young men and women to walk courageously in their footsteps,” Kelly said.
Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial Association President Bruce Bailey said he hopes the memorial will one day become as much of a travel destination as SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. “One of the things that we need to do is dream. I love in particular dreaming about where this is going to go,” Bailey said, noting that the memorial site will have electricity in the near future that will be used to light the steps and the U.S. flag, so it can
fly 24 hours a day, without having to be lowered at sunset and raised at sunrise. “We can have Old Glory stay up here 24/7, every day,” Bailey said, urging people to visit the site on weekends when docents lead educational tours. “Each one of these plaques has a very special story behind it — and I think you’d all be very happy to hear some of the very great stories, funny stories, about the veterans on the memorial.” For additional information, visit soledadmemorial.com
we have withdrawn from being there permanently most of the time.” The patrol was in accordance with San Diego Mayor Bob Filner’s decision to close Children’s Pool beach from sunset to sunrise, which went into effect in late March on the heels of harassment reports, most notably, the Feb. 14 video recording of two young women disturbing the seals at night. While none of the harrassment was as aggressive as the recorded incident, Filner said his office has nontheless received additional reports of seal harassment at Children’s Pool. Seal activity on the beach continues to be streamed globally via the Seal Cam, which will remain at its position on the Children’s Pool lifeguard tower until the tower is demolished sometime this summer. It is unknown where the Seal Cam will be relocated. The Coastal Commission permit allowing the year-round rope requires the development and implementation of a monitoring plan. “The goal of this monitoring plan is to establish baseline data that will be used to determine the level of use of the beach by seals as a haul out location throughout the year and to also assess the level of effectiveness of the rope at minimizing visitor disturbance of hauled-out seals,” the permit states. Mayor Filner has requested that the Coastal Commission allow flexibility

in how the city meets the monitoring requirement, including using the Seal Cam. Should the Coastal Commission approve the use, the mayor’s office will request city funding to pay for it, saying it would likely be funded through grants and donations. The permit requires the following data be collected: number of seals hauled out at Children’s Pool; number of people present on the beach; number of people present in the water; the tide; the weather (water and air temperature); date and time; any relevant comments or observations, including location of people on the beach (i.e. inside or outside of the rope). Seal Cam volunteers currently record the number of humans on the beach, the number of humans in the water, the number of seals on the beach, date and time, and descriptions of beach activity. The city recently collected citizens’ comments on a Draft Negative Declaration of an Environmental Impact Report that would close the beach entirely during pupping season. The declaration would reclassify Children’s Pool from a public beach to an environmentally sensitive habitat area during pupping season, thereby making human access illegal. The outcome of that public comment period and the city’s decision has not been announced. Visit lajollalight.com for updates as they become available. — Pat Sherman contributed to this report

Paddleboarding added to Survivor Beach event in June By Ashley Mackin The cancer-survivor celebration, Survivor Beach, has always had an “aloha spirit,” but this year there are several new elements to the surf-oriented fundraiser. For the first time, Stand Up Paddleboards (SUP) and paddle surfing will be the vehicle for participants. The event will get underway at 7:30 a.m. Sunday, June 2 at the beach in front of Scripps Institute of Oceanography, and is in need of volunteers (see box). “In a few short years, SUP has really taken off and been adopted by a lot of folks, so we thought it would be an appropriate draw for people to be able to participate in a SUP event at many different levels to demonstrate their solidarity and support for cancer survivors,” said Greg Gorgas, event director. The seventh annual fundraiser for UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center will continue to have races, speakers and boarding events, including a photo opportunity with all the

paddle out with anyone who makes a donation to the cancer center. “This is an opportunity, for a small donation, to go out and paddle with some people who you’d never get the opportunity to paddle with unless you find out where they surf,” Gorgas said. At 9 a.m., there will be

inspirational speakers that volunteer Sam Armstrong said include doctors, current patients, cancer survivors and surfers. While listening to them speak, “You realize what it’s all about,” he said. Afterward, at 9:30 a.m. participants can compete in a three-mile race for a $25 donation. Winners will
receive medals and awards in the following categories: Cancer Survivor, Surfing Legends, Up to Age 20, Ages 20-49, and Ages 50 and Older. For those who don’t want to participate, the beach festival kicks off at 9:30 a.m. as well. The festival has vendors selling boards, paddles and wetsuits, as well as artists and surf club members who can answer questions about the sport. Gorgas said the fan-favorite Polynesian dancers will be there as well.

The first place male and female finishers will receive a $1,000 purse, plus a trophy. The second placers get $500 each and third placers get $250. Longtime surfer Armstrong said he decided to take up SUP for this event — which he calls a “child of the luau,” referencing the Longboard Luau held in August — also a benefit for the cancer center. Armstrong said he is grateful this is an event for all levels because he is a beginner.

La Jolla inspires murder mystery, smartphone book for local authors By Ashley Mackin Two new books, written by two La Jolla authors, were stirred by the Village of La Jolla, though granted, they have nothing else in common. One is a thrilling murder mystery set in town, with nods to the Jewel throughout. The other is a salute to the technological and intellectual hub that is La Jolla.
redemption is not attainable. “Everyone has done something in their past they wish they could change. I know I have,” he said. Setting the book in La Jolla (and including the steakhouse where Cahill works, which is based on Chuck’s Steakhouse, formerly on Prospect Street) was a deliberate choice for Coyle, a La Jolla High School graduate. “People think of La Jolla as the “Jewel by the Sea,’ a paradise in Matt Coyle some ways … but just because it looks perfect outside doesn’t mean it’s perfect inside,” he said. Though it was only published earlier this month, Coyle said he has already received feedback on the book from people who used to live in La Jolla. He said they’ve told him, “it was nice for them to go down some old
‘Yesterday’s Echo’ by Matt Coyle Coyle’s story about a straight-laced police officer suspected of his wife’s murder is one of redemption. Having been forced to leave the police force, Coyle’s Rick Cahill, moves to La Jolla for a quieter, calmer life. He soon meets a television reporter, herself accused of murder. In trying to help her, Cahill loses control of his own life. “The lead character tries to gain redemption by trying to help someone else,” Coyle said. “The book explores what happens if
streets they remember (in the story). If you are a La Jolla fan, there’s definitely a lot of La Jolla in it.” Further, the cover image is an enhanced photo of La Jolla Cove that Coyle took because it was the perfect setting for the mood of the book. Coyle said his inspiration was mystery writer Raymond Chandler, who spent the last few years of his life in La Jolla and set his last book here, though Chandler called the town “Esmeralda.” “It’s nice to be able to set my first book in the town where he wrote his last,” Coyle said, respectfully. “La Jolla is known around the world as a vacation destination of great beauty and great wealth, so it’s a great place to set a murder.” Coyle will talk about his book at Warwick’s in July. ‘Mobo Brain’ by Jenz Johnson Honoring the technological and intellectual community

of La Jolla, author Johnson wrote his book about how to turn your smartphone or tablet into a “second, portable brain,” and is distributing it to local stores in the coming weeks. “La Jolla coffee shops have always been a great source of conversation and ideas flowing back and forth,” Johnson said. “The whole community is such that it encourages people to think about things and do things in a new way.” Citing multiple over-coffee conversations that needed quick facts, Johnson noted how frequently people go to their phones or tablets to look up information. His book outlines how to better utilize smartphones and tablets to store and keep information on hand so it is readily available for conversation. One trick, called snipping, involves taking notes and bits of information and storing it on a Cloud program for later use. Not just for conversation, but Johnson said

this could help students. “More and more books are digital, so being able to take notes right from a tablet, store them and (later) study them, anywhere, anytime, is a big plus in education for college and high school students,” he said. In addition to students, he said this information is helpful to all smartphone and tablet users, both new and experienced. For new users, knowing how to fully use a smartphone from the beginning makes it all the more efficient. For those
already familiar with smartphones, this book offers tips on how to better use them. The book also explores “visual thinking,” he said. “Tablets aren’t just typewriters, they allow you to sketch, and once you can begin visualizing certain problems or goals, you are able to think more creatively.” Finally, the book addresses smartphone etiquette, choosing a phone and picking a Cloud program.

Graffiti Inspired
La Jolla Community Foundation unveils 11th public art installation By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Community Foundation’s latest addition to the Murals of La Jolla public art project went up Wednesday, May 15 on the building at 7540 Fay Ave., near Rubio’s restaurant and La Jolla Brew House (closed through August during a remodel and change of ownership). The boldly colored mural, “Tail Whip,” by Silver Lake graffiti artist Gajin Fujita, is No. 11 in the project. Fujita blends Eastern techniques (anime, partitioned screens) and mythology (geishas, warriors) with Western, urban imagery (Latino graffiti, U.S. pop culture). Speaking with the La Jolla Light last month, Fujita said he hopes his “urban dragon” will serve as a bridge between old and new, east and west for La Jolla viewers. “I think public art really breaks (down) stereotypes and stigmas,” said Fujita, noting negative connotations often associated with graffiti art. “Even when people tell me something about graffiti, I don’t right away think of something positive, but I think when it becomes a mural it breaks

Kudos to Rick Farley
I
’m among a dedicated group of Bird Rock neighbors who faithfully meet early every morning at Calumet Park. Before most people are even considering their first cup of coffee, we march down with our dogs in tow to watch the first waves roll in while discussing the latest La Jolla happenings. Calumet Park is a very popular oceanview spot, oftentimes hosting parties, family reunions and weddings. Enjoyed by both locals and tourists, Calumet provides unobstructed access for swimming, surfing, and beachcombing. As a result, our morning group
regularly finds ourselves picking up trash and not-so-pleasant debris left by less conscientious visitors the day before. No complaints or need for accolades, it’s just what neighbors do. Recently, one of the “founding” members of our group, Rick Farley, retired Navy psychologist and longtime resident of Chelsea Avenue, went above and beyond the call of neighborly duty. Rick was frustrated (as we all were) by a large section of the park left neglected, resulting in a mud hole when watered. Without a word to anyone, Rick bought a large bag of mulch, grass
seed, fertilizer, wooden stakes and caution tape. He then placed those stakes into the ground and proceeded to replant that large section of earth at our park. Today, the park looks so much better thanks to Rick’s hard work and kind deed. We neighbors owe a huge gratitude to Rick. We are all extremely thankful for all he did to make our community a more beautiful spot for all to enjoy! If you see Rick, or his dogs Ziggy and Sobe at the park, be sure to give them all a thankful pat on the head. I am sure they would ALL appreciate it! — Sandra G. Benton

Three detained $1.1M in marijuana seized at WindanSea beach A 24-foot panga boat carrying people and drugs was discovered off the La Jolla coast at approximately 6 a.m. May 18. San Diego police notified the U.S. Coast Guard about the boat near Camino De La Costa near WindanSea. The Coast Guard then notified U.S. Border Patrol agents who responded and found nine travel suitcases on the boat filled with bundles of marijuana. The bundles had a combined weight of approximately 715 pounds and had an estimated street value of nearly $1.1 million dollars. Border Patrol agents apprehended three male Mexican nationals a short distance from the panga. The three suspects were arrested and taken to a nearby Border Patrol station for processing. The boat and the narcotics were seized by U.S. Border Patrol. The boat is the third suspicious vessel to beach off the La Jolla coast in less than two weeks. A 19-foot Bay Liner boat was also found at WindanSea Beach May 15, and a panga boat found near Children’s Pool beach May 10, the later of which resulted in the arrest of 14 people. According to a Border Patrol spokesperson, as of May 10 there have been 367 people apprehended in illegal, maritime crossings of the U.S.-Mexico border this year, and a total of 60,500 pounds of drugs seized, compared with a total of 779 apprehensions and 117,900 pounds of drugs seized in 2012. In 2008 there were only 230 apprehensions and 8,800 pounds of drugs seized in illegal ocean crossings. — Pat Sherman

You’re invited to ‘Butterflies & Rebirth’ at Madison Gallery By Marti Gacioch Madison Gallery invites visitors to experience gateways to other realms with “Butterflies & Rebirth,” a new exhibit by worldrenowned contemporary artist Hunt Slonem, which opens with a reception on June 8. Both decorative and spiritual, Slonem’s exhibit features a mystical blend of animals, exotic birds and saints in a collection, celebrating the beauty of the natural world — a world now in transition and threatened by modern civilization. Slonem said he grew up traveling to such exotic lands as Japan, Hawaii, Mexico and Nicaragua, and now his ongoing projects take him to an atlas of destinations, including India, Mumbai, Hong Kong and Haiti. Every trip sparks his prolific creativity, and he returns to his New York City studio with impressions of colors, new animal forms, and fragrances that affected him on the trip. He subtly weaves those impressions onto his canvasses.
If you go ■ What: ‘Butterflies & Rebirth’ ■ Opening Reception: 6-9 p.m. June 8 ■ Where: Madison Gallery, 1020 Prospect, Suite 130, La Jolla ■ Contact: (858) 459-0836 ■ Website: madisongalleries.com “As a child, I came out of the Garden of Eden, and now with my work, I travel a lot,” Slonem said. “Hong Kong has a certain odor, Mumbai has the odor of the Champa flower, and New Orleans has its own fragrance,” Slonem said. “Each smell reminds me of a certain place and a set of colors.” According to Slonem, his “Butterflies & Rebirth” show is finely tuned to the world of spirit. It features pale colors and patterns of shimmering butterflies that

emphasize the theme of transformation and rebirth. “It’s a time of transformation and being prepared for it, and we’ve been going through a lot of it with 9/11, hurricanes Sandy and Katrina,” he said, “but I prefer to focus on upliftment; metaphysically, my paintings are gateways to other realms.” Slonem studied art at Vanderbilt and Tulane. He’s had more than 250 solo gallery exhibits, and has been featured at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. He is currently working on 20 projects that include the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, the National Gallery of Bulgaria, and the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, Ga. Vendome recently published Slonem’s new coffee-table book, “The Worlds of Hunt Slonem.” It will be available the night of the show, with a portion of the show proceeds going to Promises 2 Kids.

Home Care Assistance culinary training improves senior health From Home Care Reports
Home Care Assistance, the premier live-in senior care agency in San Diego, is offering culinary training classes to all their caregivers in its Fay Avenue executive kitchen. These classes are taught by Chef Leslie Myers. Myers has 30 years experience in the culinary world, and has made a career out of teaching others how to cook healthful and delicious meals. “As we age, eating well becomes even more important,” Myers said. “Too many seniors are not getting the proper nutrition their bodies need. I’m impressed by Home Care Assistance’s commitment to improving their clients’ diet.” With the help of Myers, Home Care Assistance is constantly developing new recipes designed for seniors. The company recently published a Super Smoothies Recipe Book featuring 14 different smoothies. “Smoothies are perfect for seniors because they deliver
a ton of nutrients in a tasty and easy to digest drink,” said regional director Jennifer Muskat. “We like to sneak super foods such as kale, almond butter and flax seed into the drinks for extra nutrients! We even have our own Home Care Assistance blenders that we give out to our clients.” A healthy diet is an important component of Home Care Assistance’s proprietary Balanced Care Method. Created by Dr. James H. Johnson, cofounder of Home Care Assistance and a geriatric Ph.D. with extensive senior care experience, this program promotes healthier and longer life spans among people of all ages. The Balanced Care Method is the result of research on the older adults in Okinawa, Japan. Okinawan elders often live to 100 and beyond; they are active, fit, and have startlingly low cases of cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes. While there are a
multitude of factors that contribute to their incredible health, it’s clear that their food choices play a huge role. Their typical low-calorie, high-fiber diet exceeds standards set by the U.S. National Cancer Institute and helps protect them against many disease and ailments common among seniors. The Balanced Care Method promotes a varied diet rich in vegetables and fruits, whole grains and lean proteins, and low in saturated fats, refined sugars, processed foods, and alcohol. It also promotes moderate, low-calorie eating through smart, healthy meal choices. Senior caregivers are provided with detailed examples of appropriate foods that their clients should enjoy daily, limit and avoid altogether. — For more information, visit HomeCareAssistance.com. For additional professional resources, call the 7521 Fay Ave. office in La Jolla at (858) 842-1346.

Imagine La Jolla’s beaches as sentinel posts in wartime GUEST COMMENTARY Patricia Weber La Jolla resident since 1953
L
et your thoughts go back to 1940 during World War II. Japanese submarines are cruising the coastal waters of California from San Diego to Oceanside. What has this to do with La Jolla? Lots! One can well imagine the alarm. Blackouts were ordered and patriotic Villagers camped out behind clumps of chaparral on the hillside to watch for passing enemy vessels. Some local men had night duty on the roof of the hotel La Valencia. When Pearl Harbor was bombed (Dec. 7, 1941) pill boxes (camouflaged concrete bunkers) were built into the hillsides from Point Loma to Oceanside. Three of these were located in La Jolla. The pillboxes were 8x12-foot rectangular bunkers with a long narrow viewing window. They were manned by three military personnel; one to observe the passing vessels, one to record them and one to radio a central San Diego station that gave the coordinates to the artillery station on the beach. The operation took splitsecond timing. Yes, we had guns on our La Jolla beaches! Records show, however, that no enemy subs were ever fired upon from here. At the end of the war in 1946, the deserted
We say: Government really does work! As Ark Antiques for Animal Charities prepared for its once-a-year sale May 17-18, we were shocked when the City of San Diego posted notices last Friday stating that, because of tree trimming, there would be no parking on either side of Girard Avenue on the following Friday, May 17! Our sale draws hundreds of customers and likely it would have been disastrous if there would have been no street parking available on Girard in front of our store! We immediately contacted District 1 Councilmember Sherri Lightner for assistance. Two days later, on Monday, May 13, the city removed the posted notices and is rescheduling the work. Our local government is criticized, often with good cause, for not being responsive to its citizens. In this case, however, government worked — and worked quickly. A special thankyou to Councilmember Lightner for her initiative and quick action here. Daisy Fitzgerald Manager, Ark Antiques
Seal beach closures may need to be expanded Managing the growing marine mammal populations along the La Jolla coast is not as simple as closing the Children’s Pool/Casa Beach during the Pacific harbor seal pupping season (December to May). The Children’s Pool/ Casa Beach along with South Casa Beach and the intertidal rock reef west of both beaches are all used for Pacific harbor seal pupping activity. All of this area qualifies as Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) and Area of
When Pearl Harbor was bombed (Dec. 7, 1941) pill boxes (camouflaged concrete bunkers) were built into the hillsides from Point Loma to Oceanside. Three of these were located in La Jolla. Wikicommons bunkers became a fun place for youngsters to reenact war games. There are many Villagers who remember playing in them. Originally, the central bunker was assessable at the end of a bush-covered uphill path. Eventually, a paved street was put in and houses appeared one by one. This bunker stood for 50 years until it
OUR READERS WRITE Sensitive Biological Significance (ASBS). So if the Children’s Pool/Casa Beach area is closed during pupping season, what should the consideration be for South Casa Beach during the same period? Both Pacific harbor seal and California sea lion populations will increase in La Jolla and more marine mammals may occupy additional beaches in La Jolla. The City of San Diego must plan for the possibility of additional beach closures in La Jolla. In another matter, the park ranger at the Children’s Pool/Casa Beach is in charge of keeping people away from the harbor seals on the beach. He alone has the authority to address any matters concerning the seals to the public. Let the Park Ranger do his job, selfappointed private sector seal guardians are NOT welcome at the Children’s Pool/Casa Beach area. Volunteer seal monitors will just interfere with the park ranger and his duties. Kent Trego La Jolla
Climate change would hurt turtle population Sex and climate change are not usually uttered in the same breath, let alone put in the same e-mail, but let’s try: When I was about 10, and on the way home from Sunday School in my brand new knickers, I tried to catch a painted turtle in a local marsh near Quantuck Bay on Long Island, but I fell in. When I got home with mud all over my Sunday best, my mother had a fit, but when I told her I had tried to catch a turtle, she eased up a bit, but not much. Now, decades later, painted
finally gave way to a builder’s bulldozer. The fate of the other two bunkers is unknown. Considering all the new kinds of warfare defense (drones, robots and cyberspace) the pillboxes are a thing of the past, but they were there when needed. La Jolla can be proud that it did its part.
turtles have re-entered my life. Many reptiles, including all crocodilians, some reptiles and lizards, and some fish, have their sex determined, not by a specific chromosome, by the temperature of the incubating eggs. The warmer the developmental temperature the more females and the fewer males are created. Now a report by herpetologists (see link below) are reporting that a warming climate in North America, home to the painted turtle, may warm enough to prevent any males from hatching and, therefore, painted turtles could run out of fertilized eggs. Mayor Filner, it would be safe to say that the fate of painted turtles is not high on your daily itinerary, but the effects of climate change are real, and cause some very unintended consequences. I urge you to use all your influence to help California to continue to lead the way in mitigating the effects of climate change, which will help both San Diegans and North Americans.

Earth Day beach cleanup offers lessons for all involved
T
o celebrate Earth Day, I have always taken my children, Alexandra and Nicholas Appel, to volunteer at I Love A Clean San Diego’s annual Creek to Bay Cleanup to pick up trash at La Jolla Shores or Cardiff State Beach. The 11th annual Creek to Bay Cleanup was held on April 27. The day also marked the 10th year my kids participated. Alex, 16, is a sophomore and Nick, 14, is a freshman at The Bishop’s School. To celebrate their 10th year and challenge themselves, they decided to captain a cleanup site for the first time. They chose Fiesta Island in Mission Bay to be their cleanup site. More than 80 volunteers, Nick and Alex Appel have including families, participated in the Creek to Bay corporations and Cleanup for 10 years. Courtesy Girl Scout troops, scoured four miles of Fiesta Island and collected more than 350 pounds of garbage. All in all, it was a successful event and an amazing learning experience. They are already talking about how to improve on next year’s cleanup. Cassandra Wong La Jolla

City’s decision on Children’s Pool ignores philanthropist’s wishes OUR READERS WRITE
E
leanor Browning Scripps is a name well known to San Diego historians. Ms. Scripps lived from 1836 to 1932. She moved to La Jolla where she bought a coastal home. She can be accurately portrayed as one of the most important philanthropists in our city’s history. Ms. Scripps is responsible for the purchase and eventual gift of the Torrey Pine’s Park (which is now operated by the state of California). Ms. Scripps is the founder and major philanthropist behind Scripps Hospital, which was originally located on Prospect Street in La Jolla. Scripps donated
other properties in La Jolla as well including: n The property that is now known as the La Jolla Cove Park n The Bishop’s School n The Women’s Club on Draper Street n The La Jolla Recreational Center on Prospect Street n The funding and land for the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla Shores. Ms. Scripps is also responsible for giving the Children’s Pool (located adjacent to the La Jolla Cove Park) to the City of San Diego. The Children’s Pool and beach was given to the people of San Diego in 1931 and specifically designated to the children of our
community. Over the course of the last few years, politics have overridden the wishes of Ms. Scripps. Led by Mayor Filner, who is arguably the most liberal city leader in our history, bureaucrats have shut down the Children’s Pool beach area to all humans. Additionally (at taxpayer expense) the city has hired a security guard and has even installed a 24-hour monitoring system to insure that nobody enters the beach (except the seals). Somehow these same city politicians cannot remember that for decades the seals (which now occupy Children’s Pool beach) lived on the rock formations just off and near the Cove area. For decades they’ve
occupied the rocky formations just south of the Cove as well as the secluded beach (the slides) just northeast of the famous caves of La Jolla Cove. Whatever the case, it’s too bad that our city leaders no longer recognize their responsibility in adhering to the clear condition of Ms. Scripps’ most generous gift to our community 82 years ago. Mr. Mayor and city council representatives: The Children’s Pool site is for children. James L.

La Jolla Youth Baseball crowns its division championships By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball
Championship Saturday (May 18) at La Jolla Youth Baseball went around the horn with exciting come-from-behind walk-off victories in Pinto and Mustang games that went down to the final inning, and a Bronco showdown that had to play an extra game on Monday, May 20, before their champion was decided. It was a glorious day for baseball and there wasn’t a break in the action between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Several kids provided play-byplay action from the announcer’s booth, complete with classic baseball tunes played between innings. LJYB celebrated its season finale in the most festive possible way and the barbecues were busy until dusk. Ten Pony players were also recognized for their 10 consecutive years of baseball in LJYB at a closing ceremony. Pinto Division The players led off with Retirement Benefits Group getting out to a commanding 12-4 lead over Voices for Children. VFC manager Mike Brown kept the boys’ focus on staying in the game and not giving up. They clawed back to a 12-12 tie after five innings. Holding RBG scoreless with excellent defense in the top of the sixth, the window was open for a VFC victory. Beau Brown reached second base on a double and the table was set for Ames Kinkead to knock in

Sector 9 pushed a run across in the top of the sixth and their solid defense, which has been a strong suit all season, held PacVentures scoreless to close out the game for the Mustang

In a win-or-go-home situation, Mitch’s scrappy boys in blue jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead thanks to solid pitching and hitting by Austin Schroeder and Carsten Fehlan. Michael Campagna hit a two-run bomb over the left field fence to make things interesting, and Mitch’s held them off for a 6-2 win.

Pony Division La Jolla’s two Pony teams were playing their final home game for bragging rights because they already clinched the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the SD Interleague Pony Playoffs starting on May 20 and continuing through Memorial Day at Tecolote Youth Baseball Complex in San Diego. With a perfect 15-0 record coming into
the game, Coach McColl’s On the Inside Design team was looking to upset Aladdin Bail Bonds. Although OTID jumped out to a 2-1 lead, Aladdin scored three runs in the top of the third to take a 4-2 lead. Despite Reed Farley’s line shot over the left-center fence, Aladdin’s stellar pitching held them to a 7-4 final score. Prior to the game, 10 Pony players were recognized at their last home game after playing a “Decade on the Diamond” at LJYB.
Congratulations to Cole Dimich, Reed Farley, Carson Greene, Dane Hansen, Sterling Hayes, Noah McBride, Daniel McColl, Dmitri Menas, John Murphy and Nick Palmer. LJYB will send 11 tournament teams to the annual Memorial Day Tournament hosted by Tecolote Youth Baseball. Following the weekend, a couple of teams will merge due to player availability for the PONY Sectional Tournament in late June.

Kathryn Stephens’ art has heart, as she works to uplift spirits Artist Kathryn Stephens’ passion for her craft has made her a driving force as director of development for “A Reason To Survive” (ARTS), a non-profit organization that provides therapeutic arts programming to youth facing major life challenges. Stephens also served as the campaign manager for the New Children’s Museum. She has crafted vibrant mosaic murals for Bird Rock Elementary, where she taught for Kathryn Stephens several years. One of her most magnificent works of art was the 61st Las Patronas Jewel Ball, “Artrageous,” which she chaired in 2007, netting a record $1.5 million dollars for 61 beneficiaries that year. Stephens has also chaired events for the Burnham Institute for Medical Research, La Jolla High School and National Charity League. Prior to coming to San Diego, she had a 12-year career in Los Angeles and New York as a top model, gracing the pages and covers of international magazines. In 2013, she was honored by the Salvation Army’s Women’s Auxiliary as a Woman of Dedication. She is married to John, and has two children, Alexandra and Adam.
What brought you to La Jolla? My husband and I decided to move to La Jolla primarily because of the excellent schools and community feel, but we took a few turns before arriving. After being based in NYC for many years due to my modeling career, we made the decision to head west to San Diego to begin a new chapter. This was after carefully considering where in the country we would like to live (we had already spent time in L.A. and did not want to return) and San Diego was appealing. We moved to Alpine to live a life in the country, build our dream home and start a family. This was a culture shock on multiple levels! While it was a different but wonderful experience, the school situation quickly became a growing concern. After looking up and down the San Diego

W ho ya gonna call ? La Jolla’s Blue Book publishers carry on with new family member at the helm By Linda Hutchison a Jollans can count on a few things in the spring – the coastal marine layer (May gray/June gloom), the blooming of our gardens and hillsides and, for the last 76 years, the appearance of the La Jolla Blue Book on our doorsteps. The familiar phone directory may be small (7x10.5 inches), but its reach is wide and its roots deep in the community. It is delivered to every home, business and hotel room in La Jolla. Its approximately 400 pages include most La Jolla residents and La Jolla businesses. The Blue Book has become an integral part of and reflection of the La Jolla community since its founding in 1937. It was this quality that first appealed to Susan Davidson when she and her husband Richard Levin moved to La Jolla in the late 1970s and the Blue Book was brought to her doorstep. “Of all the items in the Welcome Wagon basket, I remember that book. It was then that I realized we were not in a big city. And I loved that feeling of being in a real community.”

Richard Levin, publisher of Blue Book Publishing (1984-2012) with his daughter-in-law Mary and son Scott. The younger Levin has taken over as publisher of Blue Book after the death of his father in October 2012. Courtesy The Levin-Davidson family moved here from South Bend, Ind., having met at Indiana University. By this time, Levin had earned a law degree from the University of Virginia and was busy practicing tax law with clients all over the country. A Spanish major, Davidson
taught school, but with four young children, she wanted her husband to be home more. When they learned that the directory they loved and Blue Book Publishing was for sale in 1984, they bought it. Since then, up until Richard Levin’s death last year, they worked side by side running the company. They expanded into nine surrounding communities and also published guidebooks, while still making sure the original directory continued to represent La Jolla. This sring, the newest (77th) edition of the directory sees a few changes. It has a new logo and will be printed on blue pages. More important, it will be the first edition in 30 years without Richard Levin at the helm. His son, Scott Levin, has taken over as the new president and publisher, and includes a tribute to his father in the 2013-2014 edition. The younger Levin is no stranger to the Blue Book. “When you’re a family business, you’re always stopping by the office. When I was 9 or 10, I was

helping out, transporting the books to hotels, pitching in here and there.” After graduating from La Jolla High, Levin followed in his father’s footsteps, earning his law degree from the University of Virginia and practicing law for several years in downtown San Diego. (His older brother is also an attorney and his younger brother just graduated from law school.) In 2006, feeling less than satisfied with his work, he took a leave of absence and joined Blue Book to help out his parents. “I didn’t feel I was using what I’m best at. I wanted to help people, especially small business owners. I wanted to have a more direct impact, feel more connected,” he explained. His original plan was to work at Blue Book for six months and return to practicing law. “My dad thought the work here would help me be a better lawyer by learning the ups and downs, the challenges,” he said. But six months turned into six years.
Levin started at the bottom, with data entry work, but was soon out meeting clients, and realized he had found his calling. He still practices law pro bono, but his energies have gone into navigating Blue Book through changing economic times and into the new online worlds of an expanded website, social media marketing and a 5-star rated smart phone and tablet app — Find It La Jolla. “I like having multiple roles, am a Type A, and the last seven years have been a busy time,” he said. A new father with a 16-month old son and another baby on the way, Levin and his wife, Mary, recently moved from South Park to La Jolla. Levin enjoys talking with people, offering ideas on how to help. “I understand the small business owner, since I’m one myself,” he said. “We face the same challenges.” The challenges he sees facing Blue Book include bringing a younger, more fun approach into the business without sacrificing any of the quality the directory continues to offer.

Memorial Day (celebrated Monday, May 27 this year) honors all soldiers who served and died for the United States. True — but only as of the end of World War I. Up until that point, Memorial Day officially celebrated those soldiers who died in the Civil War. On Memorial Day, Americans are asked to wear red poppies as a small honor to U.S. service personnel lost in battle. In 1915, Moina Michael wrote this poem in honor of Memorial Day: “We cherish too, the Poppy red That grows on fields where valor led, It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies.”

Roy’s in La Jolla reinvents its fusion fare By Kelley Carlson oy’s in La Jolla has said aloha to its Hawaiian image. To broaden its horizons, it has rebranded itself as Roy Yamaguchi’s Pacific Rim Cuisine. While the interior has undergone some renovations, the majority of the classic dishes remain. “We started to feel like we were pigeonholing ourselves,” Brian Lee, managing partner, said. “There was a perception that we (only) focused on Hawaiian cuisine.” The establishment still retains some elements of the island culture, evidenced by details like tiki torches outside the building. But now there are new features, such as glowing red and blue elements that represent the fire and ice of the Pacific Rim’s volcanoes and glaciers. Improvements were made to the physical space, as well. The bar has been quadrupled in size and can accommodate more people who want to watch games on the two flatscreen TVs or take advantage of the daily Aloha Hour specials. It also provides additional room for guests to socialize while listening to the sounds of recording artists such as Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews and Jason Mraz playing in the background.

And the Emmy goes to … La Jollan’s documentary nominated for regional award By Ashley Mackin La Jolla “filmmaker,” Kilma Lattin’s documentary, “Defending the Homeland: Native American Veterans in the United States Armed Forces,” has been nominated for a Regional Emmy by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Pacific Southwest Chapter. For Lattin, getting the story out was most important, which is why he chose to use a wide-reaching medium. However, he is not a career filmmaker, has never made a film before, and said he does not plan to make any films after this. While serving on the tribal council for Pala Band of Mission Indians, Lattin said he had the chance to hear the story of a World War II veteran, who was also on the council. “He was the motivation for me because I realized these veterans won’t be alive forever and it was imperative we get their story out,” Lattin said. “Thinking about him, I realized we needed to do a film.” With the help of two-time Emmy winner Craig Harris as producer and director, more than a dozen veterans from different reservations were interviewed about their experiences in the military and their reasons for joining. “The common thread of why the different Native Americans joined the military is fulfillment of their warrior spirit,” Lattin said. “They had a calling inside of them to go out and meet adversity, and meet a challenge and protect their homeland. I’ve heard many times that we are (the) first Americans, but we are Americans first.” Harris said due to the interviews, the

He said the veterans he interviewed were all very open. “That meant a lot to me because … I know the experience that some of the vets have had can be hard to share (but) these vets that I interviewed all were really willing to open up about their lives and experiences and motivations for serving — they were a special group of people,” he said. While there are several sub-categories of documentary, “Defending the Homeland” is the only film nominated in the military category. The Pacific Southwest Chapter of the Emmys will be held June 15 at the Red Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.

La Jolla husband-wife team bring Mozart mystery to Timken Museum By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt On May 25, for one night only, there will be a special performance at the Timken Museum in Balboa Park — a staged reading of “Cadenza: Mozart’s Last Year,” in honor of the 25th anniversary of Mainly Mozart, the distinguished organization that has been offering fine music to San Diegans since 1988. “Cadenza” will be presented by Vantage Theatre, a small non-profit company known for collaborative, site-specif-
ic projects. Its mainstays are longtime La Jollans —executive director Dori Salois and her husband, playwright/director Robert Salerno. Salerno, a retired physician and lifelong lover of Mozart’s music, wrote the original version of the play in 2006, the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth. Thinking about the composer’s untimely death at age 35, he asked himself: What if Mozart could have used his creative genius to transform
even his death into something beautiful? And he added a touch of modern physics to his musings. “I happened to read about a ‘Theory of Everything’ (M-Theory), new theories of time and causality, and the discovery of the 11th dimension,” Salerno said. “And I was astounded to find that the most advanced minds in modern science were sounding more and more like the ancient mystics.

some of these concepts into my play, along with the boundless beauty of Mozart’s late music.” So Einstein finds his way into “Cadenza,” alongside characters from Mozart’s real life, and the Queen of the Night and Sarastro, from “The Magic Flute.” It’s an imaginative mix, combining historical details with deathbed fantasies and lots of Mozart’s music — a sort of “Amadeus” meets Steve Martin’s “Picasso at the Lapin Agile.” The play was originally produced in 2007 as part of a “Days of the Dead” event at Centro Cultural de la Raza in Balboa Park. The newly revised version is shorter and sharper, and the partnership with Mainly Mozart and the Timken is a special delight. “We’ve always been big fans of Mainly Mozart,” said Salois. “When we first moved here from New York 28 years ago, we were asking ourselves: Is there anything here for us, a cultural life? When Mainly Mozart got started, we went: Yes!” Last year, a chance encounter with someone who had seen the original production sparked a productive meeting with Mainly Mozart’s co-founder Nancy Laturno Bojanic and associate director Tyler Hewes. Both were enthusiastic about presenting the play for their 25th anniversary, and suggested several possible venues, including the Timken. Salois went there

Notes from ‘Cadenza’
Was Mozart poisoned? ■ In the 200-plus years since Mozart died, there has been endless speculation on what killed the 35-year-old genius. Some, including Beethoven for a short time, believed that he was poisoned either by a jealous Salieri or by enraged Masons who opposed the public sharing of their secret rituals and traditions. ■ While Mozart’s terminal symptoms of extreme swelling, vomiting, fever, rashes, convulsions, delirium and severe pain can be explained by trichinosis, poisoning, and other causes, the most compelling theory is that the composer succumbed to Schonlein-Henoch purpura, a late complication of Rheumatic fever, a condition from which Mozart is well-known to have suffered since childhood. Thus, the greatest tragedy in music history could have been prevented by a simple shot of penicillin. first, and loved it. “The room — their French Gallery — is just perfect for us, and the Timken is wonderful to work with,” she said. “They’ve had concerts there before, but never a theatrical event. Though we call this a reading, we’re coming in with almost a full set, lights, sound and eight actors, in costume.” They’re bringing in some of the cast from the original production — Rhys Green,
as Mozart, Steve Oliver as Sarastro, and Skyler Dennon as Mozart’s fellow-Mason and “Magic Flute” producer, Emanuele Schikenader. One of the new additions is Leigh Scarritt, playing both Josepha, an imperious soprano, and the Queen of the Night. “Staging the play at the Timken, it’s like Mozart meets Mozart. They were made for each other,” the playwright said.

‘His Girl Friday’ Hildy Johnson gets the story and the guy in La Jolla Playhouse production By Diana Saenger The 1940s was a time when women often needed to work and had to make the choice between home and career. It made for the perfect conflict in the newsroom, too. Jenn Lyon (Broadway’s “Shipwreck,” “Salvage”) takes on the role of Hildy, a hardcore newswoman who will stop at nothing to get the story in “His Girl Friday,” opening the 20132014 Season at the La Jolla Playhouse on May 28. Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley directs the production, adapted by John Guare (“Six Degrees of Separation”) from the Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur play, “The Front Page,” and the Columbia Pictures’ film, “His Girl Friday,” starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. “Hildy is such a dynamite role and a dream role for any actress,” Lyon said. “To be the smartest and toughest one in the room, the most compassionate, and do physical comedy and wear a fantastic hat, what more could you ask for?” Lyon said she appreciates how Guare blended the work of two playwrights with that of the screenwriter. “It’s a wonderful working hybrid of what worked in both the play and film,” she said. “It’s set on the eve of WWII, which brings in Hitler and
If you go ■ What: ‘His Girl Friday’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings May 28-June 30
A major story is brewing in a 1939 Chicago pressroom when ace reporter Hildy Johnson (Jenn Lyon) stops by for one last visit before leaving the newspaper game for good. But when her former editor and ex-husband entices her with the promise of the scoop that could break the story, the lure of fame and rekindled romance prove more than she can resist. America’s early isolationist stance. It reflects how it all ties into standing up for the little guy because we (America) were not involved in the war yet.” One of the charms of all the productions was the rapid-fire dialogue between the leads. Lyon had to do tongue exercises to get up to speed, but also followed director Ashley’s advice. “He said it’s not about talking fast, but thinking fast. If you amp up the energy in which you respond, the speed will follow suit;

and in those instances, it wasn’t rude to take over each other.” Conflict and romance between sparring couples has been at the heart of many movies and this was another key element in the “His Girl Friday” productions. Lyon labels Hildy and Walter (Douglas Sills) as “extreme bulldogs.” “The romance is still very strong in this play, but there is a love and hate relationship,” Lyon said. “They are ferocious about getting the story and loving one another, and they don’t do anything

halfway. When it comes to getting what they want, they are perfectly matched for each other. They’re like two forces of nature, and when they meet, it’s like a tornado.” Lyon said she absolutely loves her character. “Hildy’s the smartest girl in room, but portrays herself as one of the boys. With alacrity, she will tackle a man physically to bring him down to get a story. She is a beast. I just love her and hope a little of Hildy rubs off on me. I’m usually afraid to ask for what I need, but Hildy goes after what she wants
without a thought if she deserves it, because she knows she does.” Lyon said she believes the audience will feel nostalgic about this time in America and will love hearing the typewriters click, the telephones ringing, and the way the reporters vie to get the scoop that is very different from the way today’s media works to give us our news so quickly. “It’s a wonderfully funny and touching wild ride, and theatergoers will fall in love with these characters,” Lyon promised.

Outdoor Summer Shakespeare Festival returns to The Old Globe Theatre By Diana Saenger Summer at The Old Globe is one of the most demanding yet dynamic times of the year for both the theatergoers and the creative artists behind the productions. In addition to the plays in The Old Globe and the Sheryl and Harvey White theatres, comes the 2013 Shakespeare Festival performed under the stars in repertory at The Globe’s Lowell Davies Festival Theatre, June 2-Sept. 29. This year will be the last under festival artistic director Adrian Noble, who has been at the helm since 2010. Jay Whittaker, who has appeared off Broadway and in many Shakespearean productions, and who received the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle Craig Noel Award, will return to the festival in several roles. He said he enjoys Shakespeare because the characters can be played in many different ways. “You can never proclaim the death of Shakespeare because there’s always something new to discover,” he said. “I just played Angelo in ‘Measure for Measure’ and the character was 100 percent different than when I played him eight years ago. That’s due to a different director and actors, but mostly because as we age,

Theseus is the posh and uptight King of Athens. The two characters complement each other in that they both come in trying to control their women in a misogynistic way. Ian (the director) seems to be adding some contrast to the story with some darker and more tragic elements.” Whittaker describes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern as “two characters who play

From 10 Questions, B1 coast, La Jolla was the obvious choice, not only because of the school options, but also the community feel of a village. We moved to La Jolla 14 years ago and it was the best decision we made! I feel so fortunate to have found some of my very best friends through my involvement with the schools and Las Patronas. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I wish we had a beautiful little movie theater that would show interesting independent films. I always support our local businesses when I can so I would like to see more of those and less chain-type stores in the Village. The art murals are a wonderful addition, too! One of these days in the near future, I would like to create a large-scale community art project.
If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom would you invite? I enjoy lively conversations that challenge important issues. I would naturally start with my family as our two kids offer a great perspective on our ever-changing world. Additionally I would invite: Bill Clinton,
in ‘Hamlet,’ and what happens to them when they’re not on stage. The playwright, Tom Stoppard, puts them in this ‘Waiting for Godot’ existential no-man’s land where they’re trying to figure out why they’re there and what they’re doing. Then they get thrust into a
What are your five favorite movies? My favorites include “Jean de Florette & Manon of the Spring” (a long story done exceptionally well over two films), “2001: A Space Odyssey” (way ahead of its time and the ultimate science fiction), “Zoolander” (because the fashion industry is just funny) and “English Vinglish” (I just saw this charming film at the La Jolla Cinema Society).
All-Star Chamber Music!
What is your most-prized possession? They aren’t my possessions but I would have to say my two children. I am so proud of them and they bring me such happiness. I am inspired by their compassion for others and their independent thinking. What is your most-marked characteristic? I would have to say my creative spark, which I attribute to the reason for my mane of red hair. Took me a good 20 years to accept the color scheme nature gave me. I’ve also been known to challenge a few traditions. I do enjoy rocking the boat from time to time, but it usually has amazing results!

Who or what inspires you? My husband and children, of course! They continue to inspire me to challenge myself and are always reminding me to paint! I feel so fortunate to have their love and encouragement. It’s because of their support I have been able to devote so much time to community causes which are so important to me. I am also inspired by the teen youth I work with at A Reason To Survive. These are kids who are facing tough challenges and yet despite these obstacles, remain hopeful about their futures and feel responsible for reaching back to lift others up. They are role models without even knowing it.

Skateboarder shares his tale of redemption at La Jolla church
The Cuvier Club is full of people who want to hear Christian Hosoi’s story. Photos by Ashley Mackin
By Ashley Mackin World-renowned skateboarder, X-Games winner and longtime rival to Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi, has an in-depth story to tell. He started skateboarding at age 10, was named the top amateur in the nation by age 12 and went pro by age 14, getting endorsement deals and prize money on a regular basis. But at the Cornerstone Church of San Diego, during its May 5 services at the Cuvier Club, 7776 Eads Ave., he told the other side of his story — the side that involves heavy drug use, prison time, and eventually becoming a pastor. While offering advice to youth in the audience, many of whom brought skateboards and helmets for him to sign, Hosoi talked with Cornerstone Pastor Sergio De La Mora about what it was like to have all the fame a teenager could want, and what can happen when that gets out of hand. Having grown up in Hawaii, Hosoi is a longtime surfer. He said skateboarding, even at age 6 or 7, was like “surfing on land. I got that feeling, I got that rush.” By skating every day, he was named top amateur skateboarder in the nation at age 12, skating with pioneer skaters Tony Alva and Jay Adams (a
Cornerstone Church pastor for La Jolla Sergio De La Mora and Christian Hosoi mere mention of the names drew cheers from the congregation), and had endorsement deals and sponsorships, eventually signing with Dogtown Skateboards. Things were looking great for Hosoi, he spent his teen years traveling, competing, and placing in the top three at nearly every completion in which he participated from 1985-2010. Pastor De La Mora asked, “You’re at
the top of the top, you have everything that a 20-year-old would want … what was your life like at 20?” “I had pretty much everything the world had to offer … making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, traveling around the world ... you think you are the guy, you think ‘ you want to be me’ like, ‘I’m it,’ ” he said.

From Skateboarder, B12 “I had to continue to reproduce that feeling over and over, and if I wasn’t the guy to be on the next cover or get his picture in a magazine, I would think, ‘What’s going on?’ My identity was slipping. I tried to find it in money, fame, girls, friends (and) being popular.” Then he tried finding it through drugs. He had been smoking marijuana since age 10, eventually moving on to harder and harder drugs. “I thought I’d get artistic and creative,” he said in a self-mocking way. His drug use and attempted smuggling eventually landed him in prison. “They told me I was looking at 10 years, you’re like, ‘yeah right,’ but I went inside and the inmates were telling me, ‘yeah you’re looking at 10 years.’ All that mattered didn’t matter any more. All I could think about was, ‘Why me?’ ” Deemed a danger to the community and a threat to society, Hosoi was sentenced to five years. His first phone call was to his girlfriend at the time, who had quit drugs and started attending church. Her advice was to trust in God to get through the jail sentence. Hosoi said he joked that he didn’t need God, he needed a lawyer. Still, he decided to track down a Bible. “I’ve been in a million hotel rooms, seen a million Bibles; I never opened it one time in my whole life. So I decided to look for one and read it,” he said.
Christian Hosoi’s advice for young skaters ■ “It’s all about passion, it’s all about commitment, it’s all about perseverance, it’s not quitting or giving up. Those are the things you learn through not just success, but you learn them in your failures, when you are falling down. That’s why I don’t regret when things went wrong in my life; I turned the negative into a positive. Because of that, other people see the hope and see that there is a chance for them. If I can come out of something so bad, they can too.” He opened it to a random page in the book of Genesis. Flipping to another page, he landed on Psalms and said, “What’s a pasam?” Eventually finding something he could relate to, he started reading. From there, he said, his life was never the same; he felt “set free” by his prison sentence. Hosoi now travels, speaking to youth groups and churches about his life story. He published his autobiography, “My Life as a Skateboarder, Junkie, Inmate, Pastor,” in an effort to set others free.

Pollitarians can enjoy chicken or turkey burgers done all-American with grilled red onions, heirlooms and kicky barbecue sauce or tart cranberry mustard. For pescavores, firm fish like mahi mahi or wild-caught salmon are the best patty choices and are nicely topped with Asian accompaniments like daikon radishes and wasabi mayo. Move over soy, vegetarians’ choices include quinoa burgers with roasted peppers, wild mushroom patties or mixed veggie burgers packed with brown rice, barley, roasted beets and shiitakes that are sweet, savory and divine.

Emma Ragen, 7, practices her confused, happy and scared faces for her role as young Cosette in California Youth Conservancy’s production of ‘Les Miserables.’
Ashley Mackin
La Jolla actress to play young Cosette in ‘Les Mis’ By Ashley Mackin The California Youth Conservancy will produce the first amateur production of the Broadway version of “Les Miserables” in San Diego. Playing the young Cosette in the premiere is 7-year-old La Jolla resident Emma Ragen, daughter of Amy and Frank Ragen, and sister to Taylor and Tommy. “I love the show and I thought it would be a great opportunity, because I would get to know the show a little better,” Ragen said. “It’s my dream to be on Broadway and be in ‘Les Mis’ when I’m older.” Based on feedback from director Shaun Evans, it could happen. “When she came into the audition, she sang a really grownup song and she outscored every single other child auditioning for the part,” he said. “So when she came in for the call back, she had the top score of every child under 16 who auditioned — and there were over 100.” He added that the music is much more
If you go ■ What: ‘Les Miserables,’ full Broadway version ■ Where: Lyceum Theatre in Horton Plaza, downtown San Diego ■ When: Matinees Saturday, Sunday; 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday, June 6-22 ■ Tickets: $31-$58 ■ Website: lyceumevents.org challenging in the Broadway version than the abbreviated school version. “Up until now, it’s been the case that if you were performing this version of ‘Les Mis,’ that meant you were either in the National Tour or on Broadway or one of the resident companies with the Broadway rights,” (Tokyo or London), thereby requiring “serious” actors for each part.
“The show is so heavy and has so much bite, so much meat; sometimes young actors don’t have the frame of reference to understand the themes and meaning of what’s going on.” This is not the case with Ragen, a thirdgrader at All Hallows Academy. “She works as hard as any other adult actor to capture the essence of the character and deliver it to our audience.” Ragen and the actress with whom she shares the part (the two alternate nights on which they perform) “know what kind of responsibility it is play a part like that, where she symbolizes the whole story and the whole story revolves around her character,” Evans said. “It’s not a big part as far as how much she’s on stage ... but the role is iconic. When you think about it, the branded (promotional) artwork of ‘Les Mis’ is young Cosette. It’s one of the most recognized (theater) icons in the world.”
To prepare for the necessary stage presence, Ragen said she practices singing by herself every day, rehearsing her scared, happy and confused faces in the mirror. “Those are three faces that I’m going to use during the show,” she said. In addition to singing her “Les Miserables” songs, she said she likes pop and country music, especially Carrie Underwood, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. In her downtime (of which there isn’t much), she likes to write short stories and draw. As soon as “Les Mis” wraps, Ragen said she plans to audition for the annual production of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” at The Old Globe Theatre. “Les Miserables” opens June 6 at the Lyceum Theatre and is co-directed by Thomas O’Leary, who played the title role in “The Phantom of the Opera” on Broadway for more than 1,000 performances. “That’s about as legit as you can get in musical theater,” Evans said.

role of Hope, plants a block of ice square in the middle of herself and her new daughter-in law. With just one look, Melody realizes she doesn’t measure up to what Hope wanted for her son. When Craig is away on business, Hope pays a call on Melody and offers some sarcastic advice about how to be a good wife. It’s like putting peanut butter on a squeaky door; it’s a waste of time and the squeak is still there. Within days of their marriage, as Melody practices yoga along with a TV program, she hears of a deadly plane crash and realizes Craig was on that plane. Already a very quirky character, Melody is now a lonely, loose cannon. During this middle part of the play, Brunstetter resorts to some crude language and boorish actions by Melody and Craig’s employee, Brad (Kelsey Kurz), to cement the emotions of the sudden change in their lives. Hope, too, is heart-broken, but her attitude toward Melody is even more piercing. Melody is not allowed to make any decisions about the funeral because Hope has been through this before when
ekah Brunstetter’s “Be a Good Little Widow” at The Old Globe is an interesting juxtaposition of happy and sad, reality and romanticism. The dialogue sometimes comes off as stilted, and I often felt that Melody’s character seemed very immature. However, the cast as a whole is terrific, and Hal Brooks’ direction centers the story well between the bookends of humor and pain. Newlyweds Craig (Ben Graney) and Melody (Zoë Winters) are settling into their new home as awkwardly as they are adjusting to a new life together. True love is apparent in small ways, but evidence that this couple knew each other for very long (or very well) is lacking. They don’t seem to be on the same page about the décor of the house or what Melody should do with herself when Craig must frequently fly away on business. Melody misses her parents whom she left on the other side of the country, and Craig’s mother, Hope, is not even close to a replacement. From the moment Christine Estabrook makes her first visit to the newlywed’s home, her chilliness in the

a new form, Hope and Melody begin to see each other in a new light. The discomfort and offense I saw on the faces of some in the audience during those tense earlier scenes was replaced by both males and females wiping tears from their eyes — a testament to Brunstetter’s theme that grief is definitely sprinkled with humor. — “Be a Good Little Widow” plays matinees, Christine Estabrook (Hope), Ben Graney (Craig) and Zoë evenings to June 9 at The Winters (Melody) star in the West Coast premiere of ‘Be a Old Globe Theatre’s Good Little Widow’ at The Old Globe Theatre.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Norma Hirsh in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego. The petition for Probate requests that Norma Hirsh and Howard Fingert, MD, jointly be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: June 11, 2013 Time: 11:00 a.m. Dept.: PC-1. Address of court: same as noted above. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person
interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Robert K.

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.

‘Pampas Grass Boats’ by Carolyn Hesse-Low wins First Place.
Plein air paintings ‘capture the light’ along with art prizes By Will Bowen Through May, the La Jolla Art Association (LJAA) is showing a collection of paintings submitted to its annual plein air juried competition. The “Capture the Light” exhibition was judged by Andrea Gaye and curated by Rae Ann Marks, with assistance from Salli Sachse and Mike Morse. On May 18, a sizeable crowd gathered for the awards presentations. First Place went to Carolyn Hesse-Low for her landscape “Pampas Grass Boats,” a very fine example of clarity, balance, and composition in painting. Second Place was won by Russianborn painter Leon Okun for his large, very bold, and dramatic painting of “A Girl on a
Swing.” Third Place was garnered by Marjorie Taylor for her, “Wintery Path.” Honorable Mentions went to Julie R. Bradbury-Bennett for her “Point Loma Yacht Club,” Tamara Stautland for “Morning Mist,” Donald Freymuth for “Table Tops,” and Lynee Schulante for “Mission Trail View.” Keiko Tanabe had two wonderful paintings in the show, “Bordeaux Cafe” and “Cermont Dessoun,” which should have won awards but did not. Morse, LJAA webmaster, who helped hang the show, also favored Tanabe to win. “It just goes to show that art evaluation is highly subjective!” he laughed. (More online at lajollalight.com)

La Jolla is home, and like all homes, it needs maintenance and TLC. Mere tax dollars aren’t enough. Together, we can pool our resources to keep La Jolla the jewel that it is. The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis. Membership is open to all La Jollans who care. Join the LJCF and have a voice in selecting annual grant recipients – making a difference here, at home, where you live. Please join us. Annual local projects will receive 75% of your contribution and the other remaining 25% will go into a permanent endowment. To make a contribution, please go to lajollacommunityfoundation.org and click on GET INVOLVED. Become a member today!
