Neighbors take issue with nursing home traffic, noise Mayor Faulconer meets with La Jollans Monday night, A22
By Pat Sherman Although the producer of La Jolla’s annual fireworks show at the Cove firmly announced its cancellation last week, by Saturday morning, June 14, Deborah Marengo of the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation (LJCFF) was phoning La Jolla Light again to say the show was back on: 9-9:30 p.m. Friday, July 4 at Ellen Browning Scripps Park. In an online announcement earlier last week, Marengo — who took over producing the 29year tradition from restaurateur George Hauer five years ago — said her nonprofit foundation had finally raised enough money to produce the show, but was unable to secure a pyrotechnics company that wasn’t already booked July 4.
By Pat Sherman Residents of condominium buildings in the 2500 block of Torrey Pines Road say noise and traffic from an adjacent convalescent home is diminishing their quality of life. They also say speeding traffic and congestion along the busy thoroughfare is creating a hazard for pedestrians who have to park along the opposite side of Torrey Pines Road, as well as vehicles trying to turn left onto Torrey Pines. “We have on-site parking, but it’s not enough and they don’t have enough either,” said Ted Cosby, a resident of the condo building at 2510 Torrey Pines Road, pointing to

By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) asked its trustees and audience to help refine how its meetings are conducted during the June 12 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. Formed more than five decades ago by 37 disparate community groups joining together, LJTC has variously served as a chamber of commerce, a visitor’s bureau and “town hall to investigate, debate, reach consensuses and solve issues of community concerns,” its website states. Many believe its time for a repurposing. While on paper it serves as a liaison with the City of San Diego on matters concerning land use planning, beautification, traffic, parks, beaches and crime, these days it rarely engages in robust discussion of such community issues. “Back in the ’70s there were tremendous, knockdown, drag-out fights here at the town council on big, big issues — high rises and all kinds of things going on,” longtime LJTC member and

Meeting is June 26 for input on park restroom renovation By Ashley Mackin Safdie Rabines Architects and the committee behind the Scripps Park Restroom Renovation Project will host a public meeting to gather feedback on its preliminary design concepts and what the new facility would need, 4:306:30 p.m. Thursday, June 26 at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. “This is a community project and it’s the people’s park, so we want people to feel they are part of the process to create something that will honor the park’s beauty,” said committee co-chair Judy Adams Halter. “We invite all La Jollans and San Diegans to come because we value their input.” Often inspired by the beauty of Scripps Park but shocked by the dilapidated state of its restroom near the entrance to the La Jolla Cove that was built in 1967, Adams Halter decided to take on the renovation project in February. Support quickly followed. A 30-person committee formed, and Requests For Qualifications (RFQ) went out to public space architects in April. A six-person panel reviewed the RFQ responses, and narrowed it down to four firms. Safdie Rabines was chosen. The Mission Hills-based architecture firm also designed the Scripps Seaside Forum and Caroline’s Seaside Café at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “We are thrilled and honored to participate in the enrichment of a site that is so treasured by the La Jolla community,” the firm said in a statement. “As a place of unparalleled natural beauty and joyous
Some of Safdie Rabines Architects’ preliminary designs for a new Scripps Park restroom pavilion Courtesy public life, the La Jolla Cove is truly a jewel of the Pacific Coast. We are inspired by the commitment of the community to the preservation of the site and look forward to collaborating on a new vision for the Cove.” Although the firm released renderings, committee co-chair Patrick Ahern said they
are just to “get the conversation started,” and illustrate the firm’s ideas for the project. “Designers are looking for the community’s guidance,” he said. “This facility needs to work for people, but it also needs to integrate into the park and its naturalness. At the same time, designers are also excited
to create a functional work of art.” The project’s public relations coordinator, Maureen Gibbons, said the meeting will be conducted like an open house, so those interested may arrive at any time. Describing Safdie Rabines’ aesthetic as “subtle” with “a soft touch,” Gibbons said, “When you see how (their preliminary designs) nestle the restroom into the park, you feel like it has always been there,” she said. “The magic that they bring to the project isn’t so much about what you see, but what you feel.” Adams Halter added, “The goal is to make the restroom pavilion subtle so that it blends in, but is functional, safe and sustainable. We’re trying to be as efficient as possible and deliver a very special facility.” Once the firm gathers community feedback on their sketches, something more formal will be drafted and presented to community advisory groups. The project will be privately funded to save time and money, and ensure the community gets what it needs, Adams Halter said. The group has already received financial contributions from the La Jolla Cove Swim Club and Gibbons said the committee would apply for grants from several organizations. In September, a fundraising campaign will begin, and the committee hopes to start construction in spring 2015, with completion in early 2016.

Checking Out: La Jolla librarian Catherine Greene to retire By Ashley Mackin With 33 years of library service — the last six at La Jolla’s Riford Branch (and a few at La Jolla Country Day School) — Catherine Greene, La Jolla’s head librarian, will retire June 27. “I am immensely grateful for having worked here. I’m very lucky,” she said, adding that the people she has come across have enriched her experiences. “People in this town are readers. They know what they are interested in, they know books and that is really fun for me.” She also said the Friends of La Jolla Library have been great to work with, and the patrons are what she will miss the most. “The whole place is so receptive to books and programming that it’s like a party all the time,” she said. “Sometimes I would think, ‘I get paid to do this?’ ” Amy Valeiras, Friends of La Jolla Library board member, said a Catherine Greene Endowment has been set up at the San Diego Public Library Foundation to “provide funds for books and materials to La Jolla and the library system in Catherine’s name every year.” Contributions can be made to the fund at SupportMyLibrary.com or
(619) 238-6615. “La Jolla has benefitted from Catherine Greene’s passion and curiosity for literacy and information,” Valeiras said. “She is known throughout the San Diego Library system as the best-read librarian in the city, and she worked collaboratively with the Friends to make all their events and daily book sales successful.” Having waited to announce her retirement until the last minute possible, Greene is exiting through a program the city offers. “I made a commitment to the city five years ago, that I would retire within five years,” she explained. “I think it’s been exactly five years.” Greene said she knew long ago that she would be a librarian for as long as she could. One day, while working for Merrill Lynch on Wall Street in New York, she asked herself, “What could I see myself doing until I’m 65?” “So I sat down with a legal pad to write down everything I could think of doing, no matter where I lived,” she said. She could only come up with one job: librarian. Her San Diego library history began in 1981 at the old Central Library downtown, although she
Retiring La Jolla librarian Catherine Greene was living in La Jolla at the time. “I was in the literature section, where I did the ordering for philosophy, religion, psychology and foreign literature, which was really fun because there is so much you don’t know and I got to read about all that stuff.” She also worked part time at the La Jolla Country Day school library (1981-1989) while her three children — Clint, Polly and Emily — were in school, so she could have a schedule that matched theirs. In 2006, she moved to the
Ashley Mackin
Mountain View/Beckwourth library in southern San Diego. “That branch stole a piece of my heart, they just needed so much. They have no money, not like this place,” she said. In 2008, she transferred to the La Jolla branch, where she said she has witnessed some remarkable changes. Last year, the San Diego Public Library joined the Circuit System. If someone looks in the library’s catalog and cannot find a book, they can see if the “circuit” has it. The Circuit includes UC San
Diego, SDSU, the county library and other libraries, which will send the book to the requesting branch. The La Jolla branch also has “lease” books, which are the newer or more in-demand and can only be checked out for up to 14 days with no renewals. Last year, Greene oversaw the installation of the College Room; a small alcove near the library entrance filled with college preparation resources. She said she would come back to help with the book sale, which she said “keeps the place shining,” but that her retirement years in Coronado will be filled with traveling and reading. She has a trip planned to New York, and eventually wants to take her children to Russia. In the meantime, she will read. First on her list is “The Impossible Exile: Stefan Zweig at the End of the World,” by George Prochnik. Eventually, she hopes to read the Harvard Classics, which she jokes is “five feet of books.” Shaun Briley will succeed her and starts June 30. The La Jolla resident comes to the Riford Branch from the Central Library downtown, where he was the circulation manager. u

By Ashley Mackin Torrey Pines Elementary School (TPES) parents opposed to a proposed cell tower at Cliffridge Park scored another victory when the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) voted to oppose granting the conditional use permit required for the tower’s installation at its June 11 meeting. The La Jolla Community Planning Association also voted against the tower earlier this month. The approximately 25 parents at the LJSA meeting heard a presentation from AT&T acquisition consultant Debra DePratti Gardner, who indicated that despite their concerns, AT&T plans to pursue the location. She said the proposed site at the northwest corner of Cliffridge Park helps fill a coverage gap and their only alternative is to place the tower behind a nearby singlefamily residence. Parents of students at Torrey Pines Elementary School, which is adjacent to the park, expressed worries about insufficient notice of the proposed 30-foot tower and Electromagnetic Field (EMF) exposure. Darang Tech of DTech Communications conducted an on-site reading of current EMF levels at and around the school, which were low enough to be considered ambient. Although according to the Federal Communications Commission, EMF concerns cannot be a factor in the LJSA decision, aesthetics and land-use issues can be, so TPES parent Marc Kuritz argued that park lands should not be used for commercial purposes. He cited Section 55 of the San Diego City Charter to illustrate his point. “All real property heretofore or hereafter designated or set aside for park, recreation or cemetery purposes shall not be used for any but park, recreation or cemetery purposes,” he read. “… Until such changed use or purpose is first authorized or ratified by a vote of two-thirds of the qualified electors of the city voting at an election for that purpose.” DePratti Gardner countered by saying the proposed tower would be outside the usable area of the park. However, LJSA Chair Tim Lucas agreed with Kuritz’s position. “One thing that struck me is that there is no recreational benefit of this (tower) to the park, and I think that’s a key concept,” he said. Addressing aesthetic, he referenced a decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals regarding a cell site proposed for a street. “The panel of the Ninth Circuit said ‘the experience of traveling along a picturesque street is different from the experience of traveling through the shadow of a wireless communication facility.’ ” He added, “They were worried about something in a road, not even a park, but a road, and this is an actual park that is supposed to be open space. I read Section 55 of the charter before the meeting and I agree with (Kuritz’s) contention. The city should not be siting these things in parks.” LJSA member Janie Emerson made the motion to oppose granting the permit and lease for the tower. She included the proposed tower’s bulk and scale being larger than the other two towers currently on the park site (possibly setting a precedent), and
The ‘tree’ behind the existing cell tower shows the AT&T design for the park. the faux eucalyptus tree used to disguise the tower as being incompatible with the scenery as reasons for the opposition. Further, her motion included LJSA asking the City of San Diego and Director of Parks and Rec to cease leasing park land to wireless communication facilities until the formation of a comprehensive plan that explores these facilities in parks. The motion carried 12-0-1. A second motion made by LJSA Vice Chair Susan Thomson-Tschirn requested AT&T return to LJSA with a viable “plan b,” which also carried 12-0-1. Lucas added that in his research, he discovered the Director of Park and Rec has the authority to put a limit on the number of towers at each park.
In other LJSA news: n Avenida de la Playa construction As the Avenida de la Playa infrastructure and repair project nears completion, LJSA voted to waive the summer construction moratorium to complete the final facets. Lucas explained the outfall – where the drains feeds into the ocean – does not have a gate because the original design would not have worked. He said he hopes to see a design proposal soon, as there is currently only a fence surrounding the outfall. Additionally, at the westernmost end of Avenida de la Playa, there is a water main, which has yet to pass bacterial testing. Once the main passes, the city will patch the area with concrete and let it cure, which should take approximately three days. During this time, the boat launch will be open. n DecoBike drama continues During the May meeting, LJSA voted 6-3-1 to oppose the three DecoBike bike-share kiosk locations proposed in the Shores. At the June meeting, in light of the recently announced July 1 public comment deadline, LJSA affirmed their vote, 7-6. The City of San Diego has a contract to implement DecoBike bike sharing citywide, with a guaranteed 180 stations. There is not a minimum number of stations guaranteed for each community. n Next meeting La Jolla Shores Association next meets 6:30 p.m. July 9 at 8840 Biological Grade, Scripps Institute of Oceanography.

La Jolla Town Council From Town Council, A1 current board president, Steve Haskins, said. “Over the years it’s died down … but if the trustees’ consensus is, let’s get these issues in here, then that’s what we should be doing to motivate people to come out and say what they think.” Trustee Mary Soriano said she would like the town council to conduct a poll — possibly in concert with local press — to determine what topics or issues the community would like the LJTC to broach during its public meetings. “Our seats are practically empty, and most of them are filled with representatives of government (officials),” Soriano said. “The community needs to be here, in order for us to really have a purpose.” Asked if LJTC’s meeting length is appropriate (90 minutes to two hours) trustee Maureen Murphy said, “If something really important is going on we should ride it out, discuss it, do whatever it takes.” Trustee Ruth Yansick said speakers should be given a time limit. “In the past speakers have gone on and on … and people lose
interest and miss what the purpose of the speech was,” she said. Noting that “the old ways of having monthly meetings — sitting down, clapping — are kind of a thing of the past,” trustee Ann Kerr Bache called for more online engagement via blogs on the LJTC’s website, where trustees take turns blogging, monitoring posts and soliciting community feedback on issues of importance. Trustee Peter Wulff suggested the group co-sponsor debates on issues — with elected officials with other groups, such as Rotary or Kiwanis, to boost LJTC’s exposure. Haskins challenged every trustee to come up with one idea for next month’s meeting. “It can be as small as one change in the bylaws or as big as a new committee to do something,” he said. First Vice-President Glenda Rothberg noted that the LJTC will review its bylaws in the coming months and seek some changes. Haskins said the last time LJTC voted to revise its bylaws was March 2012, and those revisions were minor.
In other LJTC news n Children’s Pool walk update: Phyllis Minick of La Jolla Parks and Beaches Inc., who is also chair of the effort to beautify and restore the sidewalk above Children’s Pool Beach, was informed that the project is still under review by the city’s Planning Division, and has a review cycle due date of June 30. She said the city has approved allowing the walkway work to be done within the scope of several permits
already approved for the new lifeguard tower under construction at Children’s Pool. “We remain hopeful about receiving a discount on the engineering fees,” Minick said, noting that fundraising for the project will continue, as costs have risen since she conceived the project four years ago. Minick said she learned the Children’s Pool Walk project, as well as the La Jolla Cove Pavilion (restroom restoration, see story A3) and Whale View Point project, are eligible for California Coastal Conservancy and California Coastal Trail funding. “I have applied in the past, and you can be assured that both agencies will hear from me again,” Minick said. “Yesterday’s message from Andy Field, assistant director of San Diego Park and Rec, was an invitation to meet in July and discuss city and state funding for these Coast Boulevard improvements. We’re getting the attention we need and we’re on a roll.” n La Jolla Hat Show: Trustee Soriano offered a presentation on this year’s La Jolla Hat Show, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, June 29 at Bijou French Bistro (formerly Amaya La Jolla) at 1209 Prospect St. The three-course luncheon, fashion show and shopping experience will feature handmade collections from Ann Demeulemeester, Jill Courtemanche Millinery, Greenpacha Hats and ZB Savoy Bowtie Co. The event, to benefit the Edith Sandburg Breast Cancer Foundation, is a precelebration for opening day (“Hat Day”) at the Del Mar Racetrack July 17.

For those on canyon rims, he suggested they keep a 100foot clearance. “A lot of people don’t think this close to the coast that it could happen, like (it did) in Carlsbad,” Bilz said, noting that during the recent wildfires residents of Rancho Bernardo sustained less property damage than those in Carlsbad because they kept brush cleared from their homes. The public may report a home that requires brush clearance by phoning San Diego Fire’s anonymous brush/weed compliance hotline at (619) 533-4444. Bilz said the majority of calls to his station occur between 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. when people are building bonfires at the beach that are not allowed, as there are no fire rings at WindanSea Beach. “Kids run by the next day, the coals are still hot, they’re barefoot and they burn the bottoms of their soles,” Bilz said. “Any type of fire at the beach is not a good idea, unless it’s in a pit.” u

From Traffic & Noise, A1 stuck in the middle of the road for stretches, unable to cross. “You constantly have to jostle in between the speed racers on Fridays and Saturday nights,” said Cosby, who has lived in his unit for 16 years. “(Employees) get off at different times of day and night. … It’s a deathtrap.” Audre Mckenzie, another resident of 2510 Torrey Pines Road, who serves on the property’s homeowner association board, said she’s seen accidents when people try to exit the convalescent home onto Torrey Pines, including vehicles that lost control and breached the sidewalk, destroying bus benches and cable boxes in front of her building. “It’s a dangerous situation with the amount of cars, the change of staff and guests coming in and out of the convalescent home,” Mckenzie said, noting she is not aware of a pedestrian being hit. As a remedy, residents are asking the city to install lighted crosswalks so drivers will be able to see when pedestrians cross, particularly at night, or a stoplight like one existing at another condominium building toward La Jolla Parkway. A representative for the office of District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner said the city’s Traffic Engineering department is completing a study of this stretch of Torrey Pines Road. However, Bill Harris, a supervising public information officer with the City of San Diego’s Transportation and Storm Water Department, said the requested pedestrian crosswalks do not work on this stretch of roadway due to a lack of a “specific location where pedestrians can be channelized
across,” and will not be added. Instead, Harris said the city plans to install electronic signs alerting drivers to their current speed on either side of the road, as well as a “flashing beacon with pedestrian warning signs to alert motorists when there may be pedestrians crossing.” “We don’t have a funding source for that yet,” Harris said, noting the signs aren’t eligible for funding by the city’s Transnet sales tax. “We’re going to be looking potentially for community service funds that would be available through city council offices (about $50,000), but we don’t know where that would come from yet.” Harris said the two-hour parking signs posted in front of the convalescent home (La Jolla Nursing and Rehabilitation Center at 2552 Torrey Pines Road) were not installed by the city, and will be removed.
Cacophonous conditions Mckenzie said the convalescent home administration, which did not respond to La Jolla Light’s phone calls by press time, addressed the loud cries of dementia patients several years ago, which echoed toward her building. However, she said she and other residents are still dealing with loud noise from employees exiting and entering the property during early morning and late-hour shift changes, ambulances arriving and departing, and deliveries sometimes prior to 6 a.m., when the trucks’ backup signals and hydraulic lifts awaken her and her neighbors. “The staff comes in after midnight with loud car stereos … clicking car alarms and sometimes setting off other car alarms,”
To the dismay of nearby residents, the La Jolla Nursing & Rehabilitation Center building is exempt from Planned District Ordinance’s ‘sound wall’ mandate. Mckenzie said. “The way the sound carries down the canyon, it’s like they’re in the room with us.” Mckenzie and recently relocated resident Bettyanne Pernice — who for years battled the noise issue — cite the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (PDO), the community’s blueprint for development. It states that all commercial development abutting residential zones must have a solid masonry wall at least 6-feet tall between the properties to block sound. Mckenzie said she was told the roughly 200-bed La Jolla Nursing and Rehabilitation Center would consult its attorney about adding the sound wall, although they have not committed to build it. The property, once owned by Scripps Health, has changed hands several times, gradually increasing its capacity, she said. “It’s not a senior residence,” Mckenzie said. “It’s a full-fledged convalescent hospital with a paid nursing staff in a residential area. They’ve got a full dining hall in there. It’s a constant in and out of
supplies. I don’t feel they should have been able to ramp up to that kind of capacity in that location without studies to see how that would impact the ingress and egress.” Harris said La Jolla Nursing and Rehabilitation Center was developed as a nursing home in 1966, prior to establishment of La Jolla’s PDO, and as such the stipulations attached to its original conditional use permit (which do not require the sound wall) are essentially grandfathered in. The property was later rezoned as residential (also prior to the establishment of the PDO). “The development predates the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance requirement for the wall,” Harris said. “They’re not required to have it. Land development code classifies this type of use as a separately regulated institutional use.” Harris said the city can take enforcement action against excess noise from the facility, unless it is “associated merely with the conduct of an otherwise permitted business and does not exceed the (established) incidental noise regulations.” Tom Mitchell, a communications director with the San Diego City Attorney’s Office, said city municipal code does not provide a definition of either “convalescent homes” or “assisted living facilities.” “It describes, but does not define, ‘residential care facilities,’ … (as) a type of land use that falls under the residential category. … ‘Hospitals, intermediate care facilities and nursing facilities’ is another category, and those uses are considered institutional land uses.” Mitchell said San Diego Municipal Code allows the City Manager to make per-case use determinations for such facilities. u

Bold accents spark subdued shades at Nativa Interiors By Marti Gacioch Bold accents are punching up neutral shades in decor this year at Nativa Interiors, said senior designer Lori Bertran, A.S.I.D. “Contemporary furniture designs have moved away from darker browns in favor of grays, taupe and honey tones that can be sparked with turquoise, plum, greens and yellow accessories,” she said. “Even traditional furniture is trending away from the darkest browns, like espresso, to a tobacco-like medium brown.” Nativa, a one-stop shop for timeless home furnishings for every room in the home, is known for its beautifully handcrafted solid wood pieces that range from contemporary to traditional designs with a Spanish and Mediterranean flavor. Nativa’s interior designers work closely with customers to achieve a timeless look for their homes that they’ll love for years. “In fabrics, and in general, there’s a trend toward a lighter, fresher feel for interiors now, and with gray, it’s fun to work in pops of color like plum,” Bertran said. “We’re redoing our La Jolla showroom emphasizing new color palettes like turquoise, plums, blues and greens.” Nature-inspired pieces built with the environment in mind continue to resonate with customers. Nativa’s furniture craftsmen use bamboo, cherry, alder and ironwood that is easily replenishable without harming the environment. “We’re showing petrified wood pieces and items made of natural materials that you’d find in nature, including tables made of tree
trunks, but with a glass table top it looks sophisticated,” Bertran said. “We also feature eco-friendly fabrics and lines of furniture where the manufacturer uses ecological processes.” Accessories add sparkle to the new subdued decor lines with metal pieces, glass sculptures and mixes of metallic with tarnished silver, gold leaf and chrome on mirrors and end tables. Nativa carries Beatriz Ball metal serving pieces and colorful German ceramics by Lunares. “We’re featuring new outdoor patio furniture lines and outdoor fabrics that customers like so much they want to use them indoors as well,” Bertran said. Recently, Nativa opened a new mini art gallery upstairs that showcases contemporary modern art pieces by local artists. “Travelers visiting San Diego like to bring a piece of the city back, and they’re drawn to the gallery,” Bertran said. Nativa offers full service interior design service for furniture layout, color selections, window covering, and flooring, as well as kitchen and bath consultations. u n Nativa Interiors is owned by Mario Scolari. The La Jolla showroom is at 7770 Girard Ave., and is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. (760) 533-9355. There is also a Solana Beach showroom at 143 S.

FROM FIREWORKS, A1 Marengo said four years of environmental challenges to local fireworks shows filed in court by Marco Gonzalez of Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation (CERF) made donors leery of contributing to this year’s event, in which both its fate and costs were uncertain. Marengo said when she reached out to donors in March, the fireworks foundation, represented pro bono by attorney Robert Howard of Latham and Watkins, was in the thick of settlement negotiations with CERF and the city attorney’s office, increasing donors’ hesitancy. Gonzalez said he feels Marengo was “totally scapegoating us” in her announcement. “We’ve shown our willingness to work with every (fireworks producer) who doesn’t respond with just a middle finger — and that’s pretty much what La Jolla has done,” he said. As part of the settlement, signed last month, CERF will receive reimbursement of $250,000 in legal fees. The LJCFF must continue surrounding its launch area with a 6-foot-tall chain-link fence and flame retardant screen, in perpetuity (covering a wider area to prevent embers, trash and other debris from raining down on the coastal bluff). During the 2014 fireworks show only, the LJCFF must also allow CERF representatives to inspect cleanup of the launch site at the event’s conclusion. Moving forward, as part of its settlement with CERF, the LJCFF will not be subject to environmental review under the terms of the California Environmental Quality Control Act (CEQA), as long as it meets the terms of the settlement agreement, Marengo said. Conversely, the Port of San Diego’s Big Bay Boom fireworks is still subject to CEQA review and must obtain a Coastal Development Permit for its event, said its producer and founder, H. P. “Sandy” Purdon. The city amended the municipal code in 2011 to require that certain fireworks events, such as La Jolla’s, obtain only a $27 park-use permit (as opposed to a special-use permit, which requires CEQA review) as long as La Jolla’s fireworks do not involve food or alcohol sales. “We’d been negotiating that (permanent CEQA exemption) for months, but I couldn’t … tell anybody that, because I’m in the middle of high-level negotiations (for four CERF lawsuits),” Marengo said. “Moving forward, I’ll know exactly what my costs are.”
Nearly Christmas in July Just days after Marengo announced she was cancelling this year’s fireworks, the foundation that produces La Jolla’s annual Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival, as well as other La Jollans, began working to assure La Jolla had a fireworks display, albeit on Saturday, July 5. Parade organizer Ann Kerr Bache secured the necessary permits and a $5,000 financial commitment from the office of District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner to produce the event July 5. Kerr Bache’s son created a website to accept donations, which has since been taken down and donations returned. Kevin Brueckner, owner of Fireworks America, which has provided fireworks for La Jolla’s show for nearly two decades, agreed to produce the show July 5. He said Christmas Parade organizers had come “a long ways down the road” in a short
Scene from Cove fireworks 2013 Greg Wiest
amount of time. “I was very impressed with what they’d accomplished,” Brueckner said, adding that the “main problem” with producing La Jolla’s fireworks on July 4 was that Marengo didn’t contact him about this year’s event until last month. Marengo said Brueckner presented her with the idea of holding the fireworks on July 5 several weeks ago — an idea also supported by Councilmember Lightner — although she said family tradition, as well as hotel room bookings and restaurant and bar events all revolve around July 4. Her donors weren’t receptive to holding the event a day later, she said. Marengo has since secured Los Anglesbased pyrotechnics expert and Hollywood veteran John Eggett of Court Wizard Special Effects (who served as pyrotechnician for the 2013 film “Hansel & Gretel Get Baked” and handled special effects for several episodes of TV’s “The Office”). Although Eggett will charge more than Fireworks America would have to produce the show on July 5 ($33,000 instead of $18,000), Marengo said La Jolla was lucky to procure his services. This year’s show will also be about 10 minutes longer, she said. Additional costs, including $2,395 for a permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, as well as the fencing, private security, portable toilets, a fire truck and paramedics will bring this year’s costs up to about $52,000, Marengo said (it would have been about $32,000 total if booked in time or held on July 5 with Fireworks America). Marengo said she was in the process of securing permits on Monday, June 16. Some LJCFF donors were helping make phone calls to raise additional funds. Marengo also secured the same $5,000 commitment from Lightner’s office, which will be paid via grant monies down the road. In the meantime, David and Patsy Marino of Hughes Marino commercial real estate have fronted that money (to be paid back to them in the future). Moving forward, Marengo said she’s trying to get donors to commit to funding the fireworks display in five-year installments, to give her foundation some breathing room and prevent future cancellation scares. To donate to this year’s event, e-mail Marengo at dmarengo@san.rr.com

Some thoughts on my 80th birthday Guest Commentary
fast walking is now more tiring than just a year or two ago.
By Arthur Wenner
Other hints of change One’s eyes are now bigger than one’s stomach, and for many of us, our height is shrinking. For years I blamed pants manufacturers in Third World countries for a lack of standardization of length; I stood 5 feet 11 and ¾ inches tall, but pants bought with the appropriate length had to be shortened with every purchase. Only recently was it determined that I now stand 5 feet 8 and 1/2 inches tall. The old hit song refrain “ain’t no reason for short people” was suddenly ringing in my ears. At this rate of speed, I may disappear. My apology to all those pant manufacturers I had defamed.

wo months ago, I looked in the mirror and saw an old man. Me? Old? Yes, me. Change that to “older.” The truth is that on June 22, I will be 80 years old. But looking in the mirror came as a huge shock. I’m the supposedly energetic young guy of almost legendary account. I was a Depression baby. Economic times were tough when I arrived. It is possible that my parents took one look at me and became really depressed? Their son was sickly, almost died, and recovered only after being given a middle name in memory of a relative who had lived a very long life. My parents had little money in 1934, joked that they were so poor that they couldn’t afford to give me a middle name; thus the addition of the name of the deceased relative, later on.
Exposing a myth Let’s disprove one myth. You are not as young as you feel. You are as old as you feel. However, I prefer the term “mature adult” to “senior citizen.” Mature adults most often develop aches and pains, have not just one physician, but a variety of specialists; the accompanying prescriptions dispensed by the doctors can become numerous. And thank the powers that be for medical research that has made living more comfortable for we mature adults. Visits with friends invariably lead to conversations that include organ recitals; how’s your heart, what about your kidney, did they remove your gall bladder? There are a variety of aging hints that are more subtle. One day I seemed to zip up or down stairways with almost wild abandon; suddenly a railing at the stairs makes me feel far more steady. Jogging becomes laborious, and
Lifestyle modification It seems to me that mature adults must learn to grow old gracefully. We ought to change our pace of life. Physical activity that was once a snap may now be stressful, if not impossible. Some elderly people lose patience with other folks or situations. When in a long check-out line at the market, movie theaters, and banks, I may become irritable if the line doesn’t move quickly. This is especially true at my post office branch. As a long line keeps growing, two of the three or four postal clerks suddenly depart; it’s time for a break or for lunch. I try to explain that I’m aging fast, and don’t have extra time to stand in line. After all, I’m living in the fourthquarter of the game. Grocery market cashiers belong to the same club. All is not negative as we age; there are benefits. Total strangers now address me as “sir.” Doors are held open to allow me to enter or leave a building. Check-out assistants at super markets offer carry-out help. That’s appreciated, until it occurs to me that I have only one item in a small bag.
A former pothole ‘filled’ in Chicago by tile artist Jim Bachor The Washington Post

Rewarding activities keep me busy, like the 19 years I’ve been a volunteer at a local hospital. But treasured friends and family have begun to disappear … forever.
Thanks to all My longevity is a tribute to my parents in my formative years, a loving wife of over 50 years and caring children, grandchildren and sons-inlaw who complete my life. There are times of sadness, but we move on. At the time of my birth, the aging tables suggested I’d live until approximately age 60. I say “thank you” every day for this long life. It doesn’t matter that when I was conceived, human parts apparently were at a premium, so I’ve been grateful for the chicken arms and legs I received. Yes, I’m an octogenarian, and grateful for all the years that have gotten me to this milestone. And to everyone I say, “Enjoy the gift of life.” u
Artist has smart fun with pothole project On The Washington Post website I came across an online video story at http://bit.ly/chicagopotholes by Martha Irvine of the Associated Press about a mosaic artist who is filling the potholes in Chicago with beautiful mosaic works. The artist is Jim Bachor and he has done seven potholes, acknowledging that there are “hundreds of thousands” left. The city seems to be allowing it. Might be an idea for our “holes” — pot and otherwise (broken sidewalks). Rita Alanis La Jolla
How did we ever come to spend millions for a lifeguard tower? If everyone handled their finances the way our city council handles San Diego’s projects we would all be bankrupt. To my way of thinking, spending $3.8 million for a lifeguard station and storage unit is laughable. I figure it costs at least $1,500 per square foot. We now have our own Palace of Versailles right here in La Jolla Shores! Now I read that the window glass has a glare that obscures the lifeguards’ view and that the glass must be replaced. Certainly we, the taxpayers, are not liable for the added expense. After all, what kind of contract did the city have with the contractor? Open-ended? As far as I know no one has been disciplined for this debacle. Why? Judy Mayer La Jolla

Learn how your taxes are being diverted from public schools Powerful special interest groups want to keep schools’ share of local property taxes FOREVER.

OBITUARIES
Kathleen Paige Bohanon 1992 – 2014
Kathleen Paige Bohanon, 21, died in her sleep at home on May 8, 2014. She was born October 12, 1992, in Evanston, Illinois, to Nellie King and Tom Bohanon. Kathleen excelled at academics and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. A 2012-2013 Beckman Scholar at the University of Chicago, she had been pursuing a degree in Chemistry, Bio Chemistry and Neuroscience. Kathleen spent her early years living in Mainz, Germany, and Louvain la Neuve, Belgium. In 1995, her family moved permanently to San Diego where she lived in the Carmel Mountain Ranch, 4S Ranch, and La Jolla communities. As a child, Kathleen was a competitive swimmer, winning the San DiegoImperial Junior Olympic high point award for 12 and under girls in 2005. For many summers, she enjoyed participating in the San Diego Junior Lifeguard program. She was also an active Brownie and Junior Girl Scout. Kathleen began playing the violin at age four and became an accomplished violinist. She participated in the San Diego Youth Symphony for a number
of years. Kathleen loved spending time with the family dog named Winegrapes, a goofy and wonderful Lab-Shepherd mix, who was equally devoted to her. Kathleen’s love of learning began at an early age when she attended Montessori Child Development Center in Poway and Mission Bay Montessori Academy. Graduating from The Bishops School in 2010, she loved Latin, math and science. She was a National Merit Scholar and attended the University of Chicago. In the fall of her sophomore year, she took a bus to the south side of Chicago on Saturdays to attend Olive-Harvey College (a Chicago area city college) to become certified as an Emergency Medical Technician. Her passion for science guided her life – she was particularly interested in anything having to do with the human brain. One of her college friends appropriately described her as, “adorably nerdy and proud of it.” Kathleen was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta at the University of Chicago. Her sorority sisters remember her for her kindness, sincerity, humility, compassion and ability to inspire others. While at the University of Chicago, she participated in a medical mission to Peru. There she assisted doctors with a medical clinic for local women and helped construct a stairway in the hills near a small village. In her free time, she enjoyed yoga, gaming, music of all kinds, and the study of Russian culture and language. Kathleen is survived by her parents, Nellie and Tom. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, June

James Angus McKellar 1919 – 2014
Jim McKellar passed away peacefully while watching the sunset at La Jolla Shores on June 4, 2014. Jim lived his 94 years without ever slowing down or retiring. He was genuinely interested in other peoples’ lives. Beyond family and friends, he would effortlessly engage complete strangers in deep conversation, grilling them about their interests and life stories. He kept in contact with even his earliest friends and acquaintances. He recently remarked sadly that he was the last of his Stanford fraternity brothers still living. Always interested in world politics, Jim was never shy in voicing his strong opinions. Even so, he always kept people smiling. He loved life unceasingly. Indeed, when asked recently to describe his life in one word, he said, “Wonderful!”
Jim McKellar was born in Pasadena, CA, on July 18, 1919. He was the son of Dorothy Scripps Kellogg and James Henry McKellar, and the greatgreat nephew of Ellen Browning Scripps. It was Jim’s grandparents, Frederick W. Kellogg and Florence Scripps Kellogg, who founded the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club in 1935. Jim had two siblings, Doug and Ellis. His brother, Doug McKellar, passed away in 1967, and his sister, Winifred Ellis (Pooh) Wyer, resides in La Jolla. A lifetime passion of his was cruising the high seas, which for Jim began at a young age. He was only 11 when taken by his grandparents on a 133 day world cruise aboard the SS BelgenLand. This experience was certainly a contributor to his elegant demeanor and “big picture” view of the world (and his place in it). At 17 years old, on another voyage with his grandparents, he attended the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. He witnessed Jesse Owens win four gold medals and 100 feet away, Adolf Hitler storming out of the stadium in a rage. His love for travel continued throughout his lifetime. A consummate Bon Vivant, Jim McKellar voyaged over 150 cruises, always insisting on eating unheard of local foods and dancing ‘til dawn. His last and final cruise was on the Mississippi River just one month ago. Jim graduated from high school at Menlo School in Menlo Park, CA, as a boarder, and received his undergraduate degree from Stanford with the class of 1941. While at Stanford he was declared BMOC (Big Man On Campus). It was at Stanford where he met a cute sophomore from
2 percent as Mormon). In the Western United States, Buddhists represent the largest non-Christian religious bloc. This data comes from a 2010 census sponsored by the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies. I suspect this crusade to change the name of the La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival is now more about Mr. Singer having his own way than it is about atoning for any 50-year-old discrimination practices. Shame on the Democratic Party for encouraging him. u John J.

Honolulu, Suzanne Biven. After a brief courtship they married in December of 1941, two weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Jim joined the Navy, first stationed in Baltimore and later in Boston. The Navy gave him a scholarship to attend Harvard Business School, and there received a Master’s degree. After being honorably discharged from the Navy, Jim returned with Suzanne to Palo Alto, where he attended Stanford Law School and earned his Doctorate of Jurisprudence degree. At Stanford Law, his building career began. Jim could not find a house for his family that he could afford, so he decided to build his own. Before he finished it, a Colonel returning from duty made him an offer that he couldn’t refuse. He started another, which also sold before completion. He decided to then build four at a time to assure he would end up with at least one. That was the beginning of a 30-year home building career. During this time they had three children, James Jr. (Kim), Suzanne, and Chris. Divorced in 1954, Jim married his second wife, Evelyn Mudra, in 1959, and in 1961 their daughter, Tahnee, was born. As a home builder, Jim McKellar began in Palo Alto and then ventured into Fresno, Las Vegas and San Diego. His professional career didn’t stop there. He also started a dance studio company, sponsored a prizefighter, bought oil rigs and cattle, and helped to start two banks in Las Vegas and La Jolla. Although not a career move, Jim even made an appearance in a short Hollywood film. In 1959 he was chosen by F.W. Kellogg to serve as

one of three Trustees to manage the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club properties. When the Trust expired in 1986, Jim served as a director until 2012. Jim first attended St. James-By-The-Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla with Florence Scripps Kellogg in the summer of 1924. One of his fondest memories of his childhood was hearing the chimes ring from the St. James bell tower. Later in life when he began attending St. James By-theSea again, he was dismayed that the chimes were in disrepair and had been in that condition for years. He decided then to sponsor the repair so the chimes would once again ring out their distinct timbre for all future congregations and passersby. Jim McKellar left this earth as he had lived his life, a vital, dynamic personality, known by many, loved by all. He is survived by his long time devoted companion, Mary Carrion; four children, James Jr. “Kim” McKellar (wife Orlene), Suzanne McKellar (husband Warren Densley), Christopher McKellar (wife Lorna Alksne), and Tahnee McKellar (husband Joerg Kruse); 14 grandchildren; and 8 great-grandchildren. Memorial Services will be held July 3, 2014, at 2:00 p.m. at St. James-by-theSea, 743 Prospect Street, La Jolla. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the “James McKellar Keep the Bells Ringing Fund” at St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, 743 Prospect Street, La Jolla, CA 92037.

Mayor gets an earful during a visit to La Jolla By Ashley Mackin San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman stopped by La Jolla Rec Center June 16 for a Meet the Mayor event, and, thanks to the standing-room-only crowd, heard a litany of issues important to City Council District 1. Questions posed by La Jollans included crumbling streets, unfunded community projects and the state of Children’s Pool. For issues Faulconer said he was not aware of, his staff members took notes for review and collected names and phone numbers for follow-up. “What makes our city great are its neighborhoods, and La Jolla is one of the most special and unique neighborhoods we have,” he said. “My job is to help you keep that character, keep what’s special about it special, and work with you as we get through these challenges, hopefully, in a manner that utilizes common sense. And never forgetting that it is our privilege to be in the job that you have entrusted us with, as we take that to heart every single day.” Regarding street and pothole repairs, the mayor provided an update on the efforts his San Diego Police Chief office is making. Shelley Zimmerman “There is a whole lot more money (in the recently-approved budget) for street repair and street resurfacing,” he said, and that includes money for street lighting. He said city crews are working with a more efficient system for pothole repair. The previous policy involved creating a list of pothole locations, and addressing them in order. “We might fix a pothole on Prospect Street, but the next one on the list might be in Clairemont, the next one might be in Encanto. You’d spend a lot of time driving around the city to get it done,” he said. “We changed that so we would send people to the same area in a day and not necessarily go in order of what’s on the list, but fix (potholes) crews observe driving by.” Additionally, he said his office is close to

Photos by Ashley Mackin implementing a “one dig” policy. “It will require all of our utilities to submit notice when they know they are going to be doing work. So if something is going to come up (on the same street) nine months later or a year later, wait, and do it all at once. The worst thing is to have a freshly laid street and for the city to come and dig it up again. Emergencies will happen from time to time, but we have to do better planning up front. We want our streets to last, we don’t want them cut up.”
Community Projects La Jollans Ann Dynes, Mary CoakleyMunk and Phyllis Minick — each working on a community improvement project — took the opportunity to inform the mayor of the projects and city-related financial struggles they face. Dynes, head of the Whale View Point committee, explained she was told funds for her project — which would improve coastline park areas such as the Wedding Bowl and the People’s Wall and improve sidewalks — would go to “needier communities than La Jolla.” “I’m wondering how we can make sure we get a fair share of the pie,” she asked. Faulconer assured her he would look into available funds. Coakley-Munk and Friends of La Jolla Shores,

who are replacing the north comfort station at Kellogg Park, were told in January they would have to pay prevailing wage on the $500,000 project, which was privately funded by the family of the late John Watson. Furthermore, contractors volunteered their time to ensure the project is completed on budget. Paying prevailing wage adds $80,000 to the project, for which CoakleyMunk asked for the mayor’s help. “This is not the first project affected by prevailing wage. The reality is it’s impacting a lot of projects. I wish it wouldn’t,” Faulconer said, adding that he would discuss the matter with the city attorney’s office. “If there is any way I can help on that issue, you can count on it.” Minick, spearheading the Children’s Pool Walk beautification project, said city fees are becoming “over the top.” “Of the ($250,000) I and others have raised for Children’s Pool Walk, $25,000 of that has gone to permits and assessments and another $60,000 is requested,” she said. “Certainly everyone who works on these projects deserves full payment, but amounts are excessive. I hope you’ll help us out.” Faulconer said he would look into it.
Children’s Pool Joking that he’s heard “something about” opening up Children’s Pool to swimmers,
Faulconer listened as Melinda Merryweather described the situation. “Over the last 12 or 13 years, this community has tried to get Children’s Pool back in the hands of children. This pool was given to us by Ellen Browning Scripps, so children would have a safe place to swim,” she said, to enthusiastic applause. “One of the things we’d love to see happen is to have the maintenance done on Children’s Pool and open the sluiceways, which means nothing more than cutting a hole in the wall to let the water flow.” Similarly, Cheri Aspenlieter requested the mayor consider adding an ADA-compliant ramp to the water’s edge, and announced she has a petition on Change.org to install such. The online petition currently has more than 350 signatures.
Police comments Chief Zimmerman addressed citywide concerns of medical marijuana dispensaries and drug use in San Diego, as well as bike law enforcement. She said police welcome calls and will “follow up on any of them.” Those who would like to remain anonymous are encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

‘El Henry’
10 QUESTIONS Jeanette Day
Chicano-style Shakespeare comes to the outdoor stage By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt ast fall, you might have seen actor/writer Herbert Siguenza at San Diego REPertory Theatre in his one-man show “A Weekend with Pablo Picasso.” This month, he brings a new play to SILO, an outdoor space in the upand-coming East Village neighborhood called Makers Quarter, where life is still a little rough around the edges. Siguenza, a founding member of the comedy troupe Culture Clash, moved his family here from Los Angeles two years ago, and is making good on his postPicasso promise to make this town his own. “El Henry,” a sort of “East Side Story” based on Shakespeare’s “Henry IV,” is a futuristic piece that takes place in a “postgringo” California, where Chicanos rule. It’s a world premiere billed as Shakespeare for the 21st Century, the latest in La Jolla Playhouse’s Without Walls (WoW) series of site-specific plays that began with “Susurrus” at San Diego Botanic Gardens in 2011. This time, LJP is producing in association with the REP, where Siguenza completed an 18-month residency in 2013.

What brought you to La Jolla? When I was younger I came to La Jolla to swim the Cove and enjoy the nightlife. It took many years, but eventually I just had to move to La Jolla. I did it on a whim and a shoestring budget but was able to eventually and proudly make it my home. La Jolla is such a special place with beauty, ocean, a village, outdoor activities and easy living. The people who live here are wonderful. Whether it is at the gym, local seminars, concerts or local restaurants, you meet the nicest and most interesting people in La Jolla. I love my life in our little Village by the Sea.

Unusual puppet show debuts at La Jolla Playhouse By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt ain Gunn, half of a “contemporary hybrid puppet company” called Animal Cracker Conspiracy, is bringing his new, no-strings exploration of modern urban development to La Jolla Playhouse, June 19-21. Gunn describes “Paper Cities” as a multimedia puppet theater piece about the recurring desire of humans to design and build an ideal city. “It’s a wordless performance involving giant, tabletop and shadow puppets accompanied by video projections and live music,” he said. “All these combine to reflect our experience of the modern cityscape.” Funded by a 2013 Creative Catalyst grant from the San Diego Foundation, which encourages the pairing of local artists and nonprofits to develop dream projects for public display, “Paper Cities” developed out of a series of conversations

Let Inga Tell You
The secret life of Olof
I
La Jolla Cultural Partners
’ve known my husband Olof for a long time, so it was somewhat of a surprise to learn that he was masquerading as someone named Giselle who does outcall services. Fortunately, he’s recently retired as I do think this could have impacted, and not in a positive way, his security clearance. It’s actually Olof’s retirement that got him into the outcall biz in the first place. On his last day of work, he handed in his company phone, and after a brief but deliriously happy period going cell phone commando, he ultimately wandered into a Verizon office and acquired a new one. When you get a new phone, you gotta wonder where the number has been before you, especially when you start getting a lot of calls and texts really late at night. We were initially not sure whether Olof’s phone number was previously owned by someone named Giselle who does — or did — “outcall services” or whether her number is just really close to Olof’s and the guys who call her are so excited about Coming Attractions they can’t actually dial. In our demographic, no one calls you in
the middle of the night unless someone has died. Literally the night he got the phone, it rang at 2 a.m. We both sat up in bed, panicked. Olof quickly answered. Guy in sultry voice: I’m lookin’ to spend some money! Olof (puzzled): On what? Guy (pauses): You kiddin’ me, man? (Hangs up.) One Saturday night a few weeks later as we were watching an On Demand movie of my selection around midnight, text messages for someone named Giselle were coming in hard and fast. At first Olof was ignoring them but I suddenly noticed there was a whole lot of texting going on from Olof’s side of the bed. He showed me his phone. “Olof,” I said, “I can’t believe you’d rather be a hooker impersonator texting some horny toad in the South Bay than watch the adorable romantic comedy your wife picked out.” His reply: “Is there a question here?” Transcript from Olof’s Droid: 11:58 p.m. (Incoming text): Hey Giselle you free?
12:27 a.m. “Giselle”: Baby, I’m never free. 12:29: Ha! I mean you able to come out to Chula Vista? 12:31 “Giselle”: What you got going on? 12:32 Having some drinks and yay. You down? 12:34 “Giselle”: Where to? 12:36: Chula Vista, hanging with my boy want some company…cruise over. 12:38 “Giselle”: Dunno. Meet you where? 12:40: (Gives address). House. 12:44 “Giselle”: Just me or should I bring friends? 12:44: You mama. How long? 12:45 “Giselle”: Maybe 30. What should I bring? 12:50: Ummm, something sexy and your fine self. You are going to be pleasantly surprised. I’d like to see a pic of your face darling. Can you come sooner? 12:54 “Giselle”: Baby, I gotta free up, ya know? 12:58: Where are you coming from girl? I am up. Can I see a pic of your face? 1:01 “Giselle”: Working in La Jolla. 1:05 a.m: OK, not too far. If you left now I’d say about 30 min. Not seeing your phone number so need a pic baby. 1:08 “Giselle”: There’s a link on my ad. Don’t have a pic on my phone. [Guy is starting to get suspicious] 1:12: I am not seeing this # as the girl I reached out to, so what ad honey? 1:14 “Giselle”: Where’d you get my #? 1:23: BP [Back Page on Craig’s List? Or…?]
1:26 “Giselle”: Yeah, that’s me. On my way. Too bad he never got to find out he was actually chatting it up with a Medicare recipient in La Jolla. What worried me after the fact was just how good Olof was at this. I mean, “What you got goin’ on?” Not exactly engineer speak. But what I really want to know is, what was he planning to wear? u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

Dining at Shore Thing Café is casual.
Rainbow Quinoa Salad is composed of onions, red bell peppers, pecans, dried cranberries, celery and other assorted vegetables.
For lighter fare, make it a Shore Thing By Kelley Carlson or relatively quick, healthy, fresh and organic fare, Shore Thing Café seems to be a sure thing. Located just around the corner from the shops and restaurants in La Jolla Shores, this neighborhood eatery and coffee house with a casual beach vibe accommodates customers on the go and those who want to enjoy their surroundings. Owner Lamar Rutherford and co-owner/ manager Bishop Thorpe ensure quality by obtaining produce from farmers markets and selecting meats that don’t contain many nitrates. They buy breads daily from San Diego supplier Bread & Cie, and choose to use little seasoning in their dishes. Because the menu is driven by customer feedback, it occasionally changes, but there are always breakfast and lunch offerings. During the earlier part of the day, patrons will find everything from light items to filling foods. There’s a Breakfast Wrap with eggs, cheese, avocado, potatoes and salsa, and a Breakfast Sandy on ciabatta with eggs, cheese and a choice of bacon or ham. For cereals, choices include the Oatmeal Berry Bonanza; smoothies with berries, bananas, acai and soy milk; and the housemade Glorified Granola, simply sweetened with honey and cranberries. The freshly made muffins — which come in three sizes — are not overpoweringly sweet, in varieties such as the lightly glazed apple and the mixed berry with a crumble topping. Bowls are an option, too, such as the Amazon Acai with granola, fruit, almonds, honey and flax seeds. Lunch primarily consists of salads,

sandwiches and soups. The most popular item is the Beach Club Sandwich, ordered by every seven out of 10 customers. Like most BLTs, it has lettuce, tomato and bacon, but the addition of turkey and avocado, along with chipotle aioli, adds California flair. Another favorite is The Fields, a vegetarian sandwich that combines sprouts, onions, red peppers, avocado, assorted greens, tomatoes, cucumbers sunflower seeds, olive oil and balsamic. And there’s The Piper, a chicken salad sandwich made with grapes and truffle oil, on a nuttyflavored grain bread. All of these sandwiches — and more — can be converted into salads or wraps, if desired. A spring mix is used in the salads, giving them a bit of body. About a half-dozen kinds are prepared; among them is the light and colorful Rainbow Quinoa Salad,
composed of thick rings of onions, red bell pepper strips, pecans, dried cranberries, celery and other assorted vegetables. For dessert, there are gluten-free cookies made of bananas, oats, chocolate chips and peanut butter. Food is not the only focus at Shore Thing; the organic coffees and teas are also of note. Thorpe is an admitted purist who aims to bring out the fruits and florals of coffee beans, to the point where cream and sugar are not needed. One of his specialties is the Amaro Gayo Ethiopian coffee — he does a pour-over and allows the beverage to “bloom,” bringing out the blueberry undertones. Thorpe also designates strong Guatemalan beans for iced coffees, but pour-overs can be done upon request. Macchiatos, lattes and other beverages are available, too. u

June serves up National Ice Tea Month
A
British exhibitor from the India Tea Commission laid a solid claim to the creation of iced tea. In 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair, he wasn’t getting too many takers for hot brew on a sweltering summer day, so he poured it over ice and offered refreshing samples to attendees.
Boons of Brewing The health benefits of tea, especially grassy green, are staggering. Theanine, an amino acid in tea leaves is actually the stimulant that gives the same energetic lift and alert focus as caffeine in a cup of jo. Tea is also a rich vitamin and mineral store packed with immune-boosting antioxidants, particularly catechins that put the skids on stress and inflammation, and reduce the risks of assorted cancers and cardiovascular disease, along with nerve calming Bs, body balancing potassium, manganese and calcium. There’s more. Certain teas have been credited with dialing up libido, including American and Chinese Ginseng for the male machismo, and the Horny Goat Weed (no kidding) to amp up desires for both sexes. While iced tea tends to be diluted as the ice melts, this accounts for a slightly weaker antioxidant warrior compared to its steamy counterpart. In addition, the sweetened versions have a load of energydepleting sugar and extra calories. To keep everything on an even playing field, use a low- or zero-calorie sweetener like stevia. Tea Tips Loose tea leaves trump tea bags for freshness, but require specialty paraphernalia. When buying bags look for larger ones, or pyramid shapes, which give the leaves room to breathe. Tea aficionados recommend using filtered or spring water since a load of minerals in tap water might interact with the compounds in the leaves to create a funny taste. When making iced tea in a hurry, and you don’t have time to chill it, amp up the
strength (up to double) to account for the dilution factor when the ice melts. Steeping must be done like Baby Bear’s porridge — just the right amount to prevent bitterness. Dark, robust teas like black should steep 3-5 minutes; the lighter green and whites 2-3 minutes. To maintain the health benefits of chilled iced tea in the refrigerator, add a generous squirt of lemon, lime or orange juice to preserve the flavonoids.
Just your Cup of Iced Tea Jazz up your summer sips with assorted syrups, leaves, flowers, seeds, roots and fruits. Here’s an iced tea line up: 1. Various fruits not only add zip and flavor, along with Vitamin C and antioxidants, but dazzling eye candy to your beverage. Add Meyer lemon slices or orange peels, pomegranate seeds or peach slivers to your pitcher. 2. For those who don’t like a strong tea flavor, mix with fresh squeezed lemonade (an Arnold Palmer is a 50/50 blend), pomegranate or cranberry juice or whatever your druthers. 3. Brew dried fruits like apricots, figs, dates and cherries for a caffeine-free tisane. 4. Fresh herbs enhance iced tea with lively notes of spring and summer. Toss some leaves, sprigs petals or whole flowers of mint, thyme, lemon verbena, coriander, fennel or organically grown roses (petals or hips from the fruit) into the pitcher. 5. For a fun change-up, freeze your tea into popsicles on sticks for a refreshing treat or into funky ice cubes to dial up cocktails or mocktails. 6. Whip up old-fashioned, energy-efficient sun tea by steeping tea leaves in a pitcher of water in the sun for a couple of hours. 7. For those with savory tastes, brew a batch of veggie teas over ice. Try interesting blends by Numi including Carrot Curry, Broccoli Cilantro, Tomato Mint and Beet Cabbage, like a chilled liquid salad. u — For additional iced tea recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Great cast and songs make good ‘Dog and Pony’ show
R
ick Elice (“The Addams Family,” “Peter and the Starcatcher,” and with Marshall Brickman co-writer of “Jersey Boys”) said his idea for the musical “Dog and Pony” flew in the window. That summation feels appropriate as the characters in the musical comedy are in an energetic leap from start to finish. For 13 years, Andy (Jon Patrick Walker) and Mags (Nicole Parker) have been writing partners — especially on movie scripts. It’s a strange arrangement since Andy is married to Jane (Heidi Blickenstaff), yet he and Mags travel around the country often spending more than a day in a hotel room as they plot their next projects. Their work atmosphere often includes remaining in their bathrobes throwing out ideas as fast as a popcorn machine. When one does not like the other’s, they’re quiet for a moment, but when one hits on the perfect solution, they jump into each other’s arms, patting each other’s backs. Andy is always telling Mags how wonderful she is and how vital she is to his career. Likewise with Mags, but she’s more touchy feely, and she often tells Andy that she loves him. Of course, it’s
meant to mean she loves him as a partner, not a paramour. But is that true? Mags is a frequent guest to Andy’s home, where his wife Jane seems to understand their relationship and gets along with Mags. It’s Andy’s amusing mother — well acted by Beth Leavel — who is outraged by the amount of time Mags spends with Andy, and outright tells her not to come to his home. Jane is seen as a camouflaged gun enthusiast and one wonders if she’s planning to use one of those guns on Mags? In one outrageous scene, Jane becomes Bonnie, a malapropos-prone girlfriend definitely out of the objective in the situation, but well-played by Blickenstaff and so funny, especially when belting out “Jane Takes Aim” and “Bonnie Doesn’t Get It.” Michael Patrick Walker’s songs fit into every scenario. Although not really a warm-at-heart guy, Jon Walker (not related to Michael) can belt out a song, and his charisma at those times is often felt as his appeal for Mags. However, each time Mags seems as if she’s ready to take the next step in their relationship, he’s not on board. One scene
where Mags is fed up with him has her madly driving a miniature car around the stage singing “What the Hell Am I Doing?” Also figuring into the plot is actor Eric William Morris, who portrays three different characters, including a film festival host badgering Mags and Andy with personal questions. All the actors are wonderful, and director Roger Rees has done an excellent
job creating a funny play that questions how much our professional relationships can really mean to us. u n IF YOU GO: “Dog and Pony” runs matinees, evenings through June 29 at The Old Globe Theatre’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Globe’s Summer Shakespeare Festival opens with ‘Othello’ n Despite the prejudices in Venice, the brilliant general Othello excels both on the battlefield and in the halls of state. But when he marries Desdemona, his envious lieutenant Iago sets in motion a diabolical plan to destroy him. By Diana Saenger Actor Richard Thomas, Iago in “Othello,” the first show of The Old Globe Theatre’s 2014 Summer Shakespeare Festival, calls “Othello” “one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies in the theater.” In addition to his role, Thomas said he’s eager to work with Barry Edelstein again, The Old Globe Artistic Director making his outdoor directorial debut in The Old Globe’s Lowell Davies Festival Theatre. Thomas played the role of Timon in “Timon of Athens,” directed by Edelstein at New York’s The Public Theatre in 2011. “I’m very excited to be here at the Old Globe and with Barry,” Thomas said. “Barry is a dynamic director with his own vision that’s strong, artistic, wieldy and productive.” Thomas has an impressive resume in television and stage touring. Born in New York City in 1951, he started acting at age 7. His parents, Richard and Barbara Thomas, were dancers with the New York City Ballet and owners of the New York School of Ballet. His first role was
The Old Globe Theatre’s production of ‘Othello’ stars Richard Thomas as Iago, Kristen Connolly as Desdemona and Blair Underwood as Othello. Jim Cox his Broadway debut in “Sunrise at Campobello” (1958) as John Roosevelt, son of future U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Thomas (“An Enemy of the People,” Broadway’s “Race,” “Richard II,” “Richard III,” “Hamlet”) went on to make more than 105 film and TV appearances as well as many roles on the theatrical stage. He appeared in more than 20 film and TV roles before earning an Emmy Award for Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series as John Boy in “The Walton’s” TV series (1972-1981). One
character he’s longed to play is Iago. “Iago is a challenging character but a big reward for me to play,” Thomas said. “Shakespeare is the greatest writer in the English language. His writing is smart and complex but elemental with all kinds of passion. He puts his teeth down where he can get at the core of the story.” Thomas currently has the role of Agent Frank Gaad on FX’s “The Americans.” “I feel very lucky to have so many performing opportunities, but theater is my greatest pleasure,” he said. “Playing some of
the classic roles like Iago is a great privilege.” Joining Thomas in the lead roles are Blair Underwood as Othello and Kristen Connolly as Desdemona. Underwood is an award-winning actor/writer/director/ producer. He received two Golden Globe Award nominations and 10 NAACP Image Award nominations with six wins. His theater credits include his one-man show “IM4: From the Mountaintop to Hip Hop,” New York Shakespeare Festival’s “Measure for Measure,” and the Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams’s “A Streetcar Named Desire,” which garnered Underwood a 2012 Drama League Distinguished Performance nomination. He’s also appeared in many film and TV roles. Connolly worked with Edelstein on “King Lear,” “All’s Well That Ends Well,” and “Measure for Measure,” at The Public Theater/New York Shakespeare Festival. She had a role in the History Channel miniseries “Houdini” and the Netflix’s series “House of Cards.” u n If you go: “Othello,” 8 p.m. June 22-July 27 at The Old Globe’s Lowell Davies Festival Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

From El Henry, B1 Here’s the story, which Shakespeare might have a bit of difficulty recognizing: It’s 30 years from now in Aztlan City, a run-down metropolis formerly known as San Diego, where corruption is rampant and violent barrio families rule the streets. El Hank (King Henry) finds his street kingdom threatened by El Tomas (Thomas Percy, Earl of Worcester) and his hot-headed nephew El Bravo (Hotspur). He seeks the help of his so-far disappointing son and heir, El Henry (Prince Hal), who has been spending most of his time with a bunch of thieves and drunkards headed by Herbert Siguenza the fat, lazy, boastful but jovial Fausto (Falstaff). The cast features Siguenza as Fausto, with Kinan Valdez as El Bravo and Lakin Valdez as El Henry, the someday-to-be Henry V. They are the sons of Luis Valdez, the groundbreaking writer of “Zoot Suit” known as the father of Chicano theater, and they’re part of El Teatro Campesino, the Northern California troupe founded in 1965. Siguenza said he came up with the idea for “El Henry” at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival four years ago, when he was understudying roles in the original “Henry IV.” “I never did get to go on, but I did get familiar with the story,” he said. “Family,

loyalty, honor — that’s what the play’s about. And I thought: those are the same themes that apply to Chicano gangs. So I kept the story intact and just changed the place, the times, and the language.” “El Henry” translates Shakespearean cadences into the edgy contemporary poetry of English and Spanish street slang. The soldiers use futuristic weapons and their fight scenes have been choreographed by Edgar Landa, an award-winning fight director from L.A. who’s been responsible for authentic-looking battles in many

Shakespearean plays. Except for Landa and the Valdez brothers, the company is all from San Diego; Siguenza believes in using local talent, himself included. “In the past few years, all my dream roles have been coming to fruition,” he said. “I played Big Daddy in ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ in Alaska, Picasso at the REP, and now Falstaff here — all larger-than-life people. ‘El Henry’ is my biggest project yet, and Sam Woodhouse (‘El Henry’ director and artistic director of the REP) really knows how to put on a spectacle. I’m so
happy to be doing this.” u n If you go: “El Henry” (adapted from Shakespeare’s “Henry IV, Part I”), written by Herbert Siguenza, directed by Sam Woodhouse, 7:30 p.m. through June 29 at SILO at Makers Quarter, 753 15th Street, San Diego.

www.lajollalight.com From Puppet Show, B1 Gunn had with his wife and longtime collaborator, Bridget Rountree, about their love of books, paper and trees. Rountree received her own Creative Catalyst grant last year, and presented a mixed-media art show this April. She and Gunn have been working together since 2003. “We had an art-and-performance connection from the beginning,” Gunn said. “When we met, I was already doing puppetry and circus arts and hanging upside-down on a German wheel in the old Children’s Museum, where I had a studio. She was just back from an African art retreat in Capetown, and we started making cardboard sculptures together.” So much of the knowledge and materials they shared came from nature, Gunn noted, but things have changed in the digital world. “We used to rely on paper — books and newspapers — to understand the world around us, and cities were designed on paper,” he said. “Now knowledge is flying through the air at amazing speed. ‘Paper Cities’ springs from our attempts to examine these changes.” The show itself keeps on changing, which is not surprising: it’s a work-in-progress, a first-workshop version of what is meant to be a fully-developed piece next year. “It’s becoming a kind of duet between human attempts to construct a city and the primordial wild that exists within the same space,” Gunn said. “The Coyote has become a significant character, and the story is now
LA JOLLA LIGHT - june 19, 2014 - Page B13
about people and nature crossing paths.” “Paper Cities” will surely be a far cry from any puppet theater you may have ever seen, unless you caught the Conspiracy’s haunting performance of “The Collector” at UCSD’s Loft in February 2013. “We’ve created a compelling new way of storytelling,” Gunn said. “It’s experimental puppet theater for adults, and this is the most adventurous piece we’ve ever done. We’re integrating ourselves as actors, using props as characters, and adding various objects to constantly recreate the set.” “Paper Cities” also includes a third human onstage, actor/writer Molly Maslak, who “graduated” from a 10-week puppetry intensive Gunn offered as part of his grant. The fourth participant is Terry Hovey, a multi-instrumentalist who is creating the show’s soundscape and will solo on saxophone, clarinet, vibraphone and gamelan gongs. Behind the scenes are director Lisa Berger and movement director Liam Clancy, both of whom Gunn and Rountree have worked with before, and the Playhouse’s resident dramaturg, Shirley Fishman. “This piece is a challenge for me, but I’m wholly engaged,” Gunn said. “And I hope our audiences will be too.” u n If you go: “Paper Cities” is onstage 8 p.m. June 19-21, La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive on the UC San Diego campus.

Crustaceans get the spotlight at aquarium lecture By Zoe Kleinfeld
O
h, isn’t it fab to be a young crab? They molt off young age to acquire new sage, and brave brackish waves in La Jolla’s dark caves. Crustaceans spelunk with abandon and punk! But if one might have thunk local shellfish surreptitious, there’s more to a shrimp than being delicious. So read on about prawn, and learn something new! See below for an exposé that is long overdue. Our local ecological reserve is host to countless crustaceans — barnacles, shrimp, crabs and spiny lobsters. Compared to the relative dearth of diversity of local human citizens, La Jolla’s crustaceans constitute an incredibly varied group of arthropods. Just in terms of size, they can range from fractions of an inch to several feet long. And they live just about anywhere — deep in the briny sea, grass marshlands, even on land! Jennifer Taylor — an assistant professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography — dipped into this vast realm of crustaceans in the latest of a series of public colloquiums at Birch Aquarium on June 9. Her presentation considered the evolution and biomechanics of crustacean’s exoskeleton, and illuminated how crabs grow into their new shells. Crustaceans are unique in that they have an exoskeleton, or an exterior skeletal body. The body is comprised of a four-layer cuticle, which is arranged in a specific shape that forms a “helicoid pattern,” not unlike the structure of DNA. Such configuration is generally uniform among crustaceans and gives them an exceptionally strong and lightweight outer shell that adapts to different functions — including support,

motion, weaponry and communication. Crustaceans shed their exoskeletons on a regular basis in a process that has been recognized as the most gruesome weightloss fad ever. In the initial stages of the practice, the molting crustacean assumes a temporary dormant state while its underlying skin cells separate from the exterior shell. During this resting period, the animal secretes fluids to expedite the transformative process; the old skeleton cracks at pre-formed suture levels and water seeps in. Once enough water has built up, the newly molted crab can wriggle free of its former self. In fact, everything (even the gut lining!) is molted when a crab sheds its skeleton for growth. Akin to any major body-transformation, the new version of the animal is
delicate. Before a freshly molted crab’s new shell has hardened through calcification, the animal is entirely soft and flimsy. In response to their fragile condition, crustaceans use water pressure to replace the hardness of the shell. By inflating their body with fluid, crustaceans create a pseudo-armor against which they can contract their muscles. This temporary system is comparable to a water balloon because the animal can change shape, but resists compression. In this way, every time the crab contracts any muscle — claw, or otherwise — the inner fluid acts as a stiff element against the body wall. A similar phenomenon occurs in landbound crabs. Yet in lieu of water, these animals inflate their gut with air — like blowing up an internal balloon.

Consul of Spain stops by Muirlands’ Spanish class
H
onorary Consul of Spain, Maria Angeles Olson, visited Ray Hernandez’s eighthgrade Spanish class at Muirlands Middle School on June 3. Olson spoke to students about the recent abdication of the King of Spain to his son, Prince Philipe, as well as opportunities to travel in Spain — even for eighth-graders. The students were curious to know how, hailing from Spain, she married an American? Olson told the class that she met her husband in Madrid, married him five months later, and they are celebrating 55 Muirlands student Christophe Naviaux with years of marriage this year. One Maria Angeles Olson and teacher Ray student wondered if Olson has full Hernandez Jeanine Naviaux diplomatic immunity. She answered, no, she has to pay her parking tickets, too. A consulate is a smaller version of an embassy and is generally located in the larger tourist cities of a country but not the capital. Consulates (and their chief diplomat, the consul) handle minor diplomatic issues like issuing visas, aiding in trade relationships, and taking care of migrants, tourists and expatriates. u

San Diego History Center fashion show draws La Jollans favorite outfits from the past, a trio of retail stores showing the best of their present-day looks, and futuristic fantasies from nine students and graduates of fashion-design programs at Mesa, Palomar, and Fashion Careers Colleges. The event, a year in the planning, was spearheaded by Pat O’Connor, founder of Fashion Careers College, which closed its
doors in December 2012. “I ran the school for 34 years and was ready to retire,” O’Connor said. “But I was on the History Center’s Costume Council, and when Charlotte Cagan (SDHC’s executive director) asked if I could put together a fashion event to stir up a little excitement, I decided I’d be happier with a project in the works.”
From the beginning, O’Connor had a vision: to include some of her fashionable friends, former students and favorite boutiques, several of which were owned or managed by graduates of her school. “With a show like this, it’s great to work with people you know,” she said. “That way, there’s no high drama, it’s like one big fashion family.”

Surf board craft, culture exhibit opens at Mingei Museum From Mingei Reports
The exhibition “Surf Craft: Design and the Culture of Board Riding” will open at Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park Saturday, June 21 and will be on view until Jan. 11, 2015. Curated by local surf historian Richard Kenvin, the show will occupy the museum’s first-floor gallery, presenting 60-80 surfboards built from the late 1940s to the present day, in their historical context of craft and design. Standing alone, surfboards are often striking examples of functional design. Together, over time, they tell a compelling story about the evolution of an important art form in America and around the world — from the alaia boards of ancient Hawaii, to obscure surf-bathing boards of England, Japan and Africa, to post-war hydrodynamic planning hulls from Southern California. Historically a handcrafted object, the surfboard ultimately gave rise to foam and fiberglass board construction produced on a mass scale. However, many contemporary shapers are tapping into the design principles found in the traditional boards. Cutting-edge engineering and minimalist art will converge in this exhibition. Innovative board-shapers and surfers from San Diego’s past and present will be highlighted, including Bob Simmons and Carl Ekstrom. Curator Richard Kenvin has authored a 176-page hardcover book of the same title, “Surf Craft” (Marquand Books, Aug. 2014), which includes 150 historic and contemporary photographs. Kenvin grew up

Fifth-graders reach for the stars at Bird Rock Elementary
T
he fifth-grade class of 2014 at Bird Rock Elementary recently completed the annual fifth-grade gift to the school. Some 90 students and teachers worked on a mural to enhance the auditorium with the theme, “Reach for the Stars.” This time-honored tradition has beautified the school since the 1970s. From murals to self-portraits, painted tiles to stained glass and mosaic, the Bird Rock campus looks forward to a new surprise of creativity each year. Collaborating with the artistic team of Jane Wheeler and Kathryn Stephens (both alumni moms), the students traced their hands onto the wall and then painted the hands with various shades of ethereal white, pearl and silver. Stars were painted above the reaching hands on a blue-shaded backdrop, along with the message “Reach for the Stars.” Before the project got underway, students were asked, “What is worth reaching for?” Their responses were layered over the hands to add and element of surprise. Some of the things they felt worth reaching for were love, friends, knowledge, laughter, awesomeness, unknown, hope, peace, truth, joy, respect and happiness. While they were working, Principal Sally Viavada received a call from a company offering to volunteer on a project for the school. She grabbed the opportunity and during the summer, the rest of the auditorium will be painted a new shade of blue. When the students come back in the fall, they will be surprised with an auditorium make over. u — Jane Wheeler

O
K, after we figure out where they moved everything within the store at 7544 Girard Ave., shoppers will delight in a larger Starbucks kiosk, new checkout stands and refrigerated cases in produce, meat, dairy/deli and other departments. “We also replaced the shelving throughout the store, installed new lighting and changed the décor to create a warmer ambiance,” said Vons spokesman Carlos Illingworth. “Customers will also notice a wider selection of kosher items and organics, as well as an expanded assortment of local items and gluten-free products across all departments. Our wine department will now be staffed by a wine steward to help customers with selecting
the perfect wine for any pairing. Also, the store will now be open 24-hours!” In addressing the parking issues at the busy grocery store, Illingworth said, “In an effort to preserve as much parking for our customers as possible, at significant cost we have leased space behind the store and offsite for our employee parking. We have also contracted with a parking management company to enforce our parking policy, which limits parking on our property for Vons customers only. “We simply cannot afford the inconvenience to our customers caused by allowing the tenants of neighboring properties to use our parking lot beyond the very limited use we now overlook.” — Susan DeMaggio

a Jollans Caroline Feeney, a 2013 graduate of Francis Parker School and Ursula Granirer, a 2013 graduate of The Bishop’s School, found themselves rowing together on the Women’s Novice Eight during their freshman year at Trinity College, a liberal arts and sciences college founded in 1823 in Hartford, Connecticut. The two rowed during high school for the ZLAC Rowing Club juniors program. ZLAC, founded in 1892 and located on Mission Bay, is the oldest women’s rowing club in the United States. Feeney, rowing in the sixth seat and Granirer, rowing in the second seat, helped power their team to an undefeated season and a championship victory in two regattas where they won the gold. They prevailed over a field of 12 boats in each regatta to clinch the title of Novice Women 8, New England Champions. The Trinity Varsity Women’s Crew went on to win the 2014 NCAA Division III Championships for the first time in program history. Trinity College, an NCAA Division III school, is a member of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), which also includes Amherst, Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, Connecticut, Hamilton, Middlebury, Wesleyan, Williams, and Tufts. u — Sarah Feeney

Teammates benefit from Bishop’s summer camps By Ed Piper aroline Edwards, prepping for her junior year as a studentathlete at The Bishop’s School, has made a conscious decision to hone her field hockey skills at the school’s summer camp, July 15-17, under two-time Olympian Kayla Bashore Smedley. It will be fun, but all parties involved also agree there will be maximum time working on specific stick skills and there will also be scrimmaging to get into “field hockey shape” for the fall season. Edwards, already named team co-captain for the 2014 Lady Knights varsity and a three-sport athlete at Bishop’s, said she wants to work on her physical conditioning this summer to lead right into training for the team’s season, which kicks off with the start of classes in the fall. “One of the main things our team took away from last season was that, in sports, there is no possibility of having control of everything out on the field,” said the 16-year-old. “So we are making it our mission to take the things that we can control, like the shape we are in as a team, and use that to put ourselves in the best possible position going into the upcoming season.” Edwards got into field hockey when she entered Bishop’s as a freshman because she said it would be a great way to meet new friends and to try something new. “I had primarily been a soccer player beforehand, and the striking similarity between soccer and field hockey really drew me to have a greater appreciation of the game,” she said. Handling a hockey stick can be a tricky proposition, especially because Americans don’t grow up playing field hockey, unlike, say, India, where field hockey is a national sport. The stick has a flat front face on its candy cane shape, so the club has to be brought squarely to meet the ball or the ball will go careening off in an unintended direction. Another common issue among hockey strikers is topping the ball by not hitting it in the center, or missing the ball entirely as a player vies with an opponent for position. Bishop’s is also featuring camps this summer in baseball for grades 2-8, led by Varsity baseball coach Joey Centanni, July 21-25; volleyball for grades 3-12, with Bishop’s girls varsity volleyball coach Tod Mattox, July 28-August 7; and strength and agility, with Charles Johnson, the Bishop’s specialist in that area, through July 23.

Metaphorical iconicity advances the perspective that what you learned as a child, what you witnessed as a child, has become the norm for your brain: what you expect from yourself and what you expect from your children. Thus, there is no right or wrong. If you behave like your mother or father, it is normal. We can take the same principles of metaphorical iconicity just applied to family and apply them to your selection of career and your sense of fulfillment with it. There are certain emotional requirements that go with feeling fulfilled in one’s life. Call it a sense of contentment, achievement or an accomplishment of a goal. The definition of contentment/success has its antecedents in your childhood. As you watched your mother enjoy/not enjoy being a mother, or your father enjoy being a provider/not much of a provider, and everything in-between, you would adopt their gender or cross gender value unconsciously. This would simply
become the norm for your definition of success or goal attainment, which goes on to define your level of self-confidence and default sense of self-esteem. The exciting news is that this does not mean that you have no control over your sense of family and career fulfillment. You do! While your biological potential is not a choice, the amount of energy you put into fulfilling the expression of your biological potential or new information through a coaching process is. Above all, accepting that you begin with your biology and the models around you can be a very rejuvenating perspective. Only once you acknowledge where your feelings and perspectives come from can you change your perspective and attitude. The brain lives for the truth and insists on closure, and when you tell the truth, dysfunctional emotional tension is released. If you are interested in exploring your attitude and perspective about family and career, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? La Jolla is a great place as it is within walking distance to so many things. There is not much that I would change. However, I love to play and swim in the ocean, and if I could improve one thing by snapping my fingers, it would be making the water temperature 80 degrees year-round! If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I would include leaders who would share their insights as to how they kept going against great odds: Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Cesar Chavez, Clarence Darrow, Martin Luther King, Jr. I know these icons must have had terrific senses of doing the right thing. I also believe they must have a great sense of humor and I’d like to experience that. I would also include some of my favorite female actresses/comedians, Kristen
the children of America; “An Invitation to the White House” (2000); “Dear Socks, Dear Buddy,” (1998) kids letters to the “First Pets”; and “The Unique Voice of Hillary Clinton” (1997). u
Wiig and Sandra Bullock, and for me, my dad, Milton Day, all for an incredible evening! Who/what inspires you? I am inspired by humble, passionate people who consider the status quo just a place to start. When someone has the strength to right wrongs and to fix problems in our society that inspires me and gives me the added passion to address issues I believe in. As a lawyer, I know the law evolves and we as citizens need to prod and push to ensure justice and equality for all. What are your five favorite movies? These are “The Notebook,” “Milk,” “The Candidate,” “Something’s Gotta Give,” and “12 Angry Men.” What is it that you most dislike? I dislike prejudice and pretentiousness. What is your mostprized possession? My most-prized possession is my friends and family
who never cease to amaze me with their love, caring friendship and talents. However, I must add my law degree, which has given me the ability to help so many — literally thousands of children — which is an amazing privilege. What do you do for fun? I love nature and taking in as much of it as I can each day, including hiking, tennis and skiing. When the sun goes down let the games begin! I love card games, board games and laughing with friends and family. What is your motto? A beautiful philosophy of life is “The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose,” by Robert Byme. What would be your dream vacation? My dream vacation is an African safari! Spending time in a completely different environment that is graceful, magical, authentic and diverse in culture, with an endless variety of exotic animals living in their inherited homeland. u

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 (888) 988-6736 or visit this Internet Web site salestrack.tdsf. com, using the file number assigned to this case 18852CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. In addition, the borrower on the loan shall be sent a written notice if the sale has been postponed for at least ten (10) business days. The best way to verify postponement information
is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center receives $170,000 donation for research on rare, aggressive breast cancer
T
he Vision of Children Foundation presented UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center with a $170,000 check to aid research of rare and aggressive breast cancer. The money represents half the funds raised at a Holiday High Tea event in December 2013 that featured breast cancer survivor Ann Romney as the keynote speaker. VOC is using the other half to bolster its research to find cures for hereditary vision disorders. More than 600 guests attended the holiday fundraiser, called “Visions of Samuel A. Hardage, Vision of Children Foundation Success: From Research to Reality,” at the Grand Del Mar chair, presents a check to UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center’s Dr. Scott Lippman, director, and Dr. Barbara on Dec. 9, 2013 underwritten by U-T San Diego Publisher Parker, deputy director for clinical affairs Pat Sherman Doug Manchester. The survival rate for patients with rare and aggressive breast cancer is less than 50 percent over five years. Moores Cancer Center will direct the funds to research being conducted by Dr. Jing Yang, associate professor of Pharmacology and Pediatrics at the UC San Diego School of Medicine, who hopes to uncover the signaling pathways that control breast tumor metastasis during dormancy. u
Rugby standout commits to Canadian college
L
a Jolla High School senior AJ Talman has accepted an offer to play rugby for the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, where he plans to major in kinesiology. UBC is considered by most to be the premier men’s college rugby program in North America. After graduation, many UBC players end up playing for their National teams and/or have the opportunity of playing professionally overseas. “I simply could not pass up such a tremendous opportunity,” Talman said of his decision. “I will get a great education, play varsity rugby against the best competition in North America, and live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.” Talman has been playing rugby since seventh-grade and just completed his club season with the San Diego Mustangs where his team placed fourth at Nationals. u

Remodeling Lance’s House a mission for local Realtor Carlos Gutierrez When it comes to helping out friends, clients or community, Carlos Gutierrez of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties is quick to leverage the power of his connections, work ethic and networking skills. The task of renovating a home for Lance Weir is no exception, as Gutierrez participated in the demolition phase of the project and is helping to raise awareness about the need for donations. Weir is a Marine Corps Reservist who was paralyzed in a diving accident. He and Gutierrez established a friendship as a result of their participation in the Million Dollar Challenge (MDC), a 600-mile bike ride down the California coast to benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation. Along with Gutierrez, Hall of Famer Bill Walton and the rest of Team Lori and Bill Walton, Weir is poised to compete in his third consecutive MDC this fall. Last year, Team Lori and Bill Walton were the top fundraiser, with more than $160,000 in donations. “Lance is an inspiration to everyone he comes in contact with,” said Gutierrez,
who specializes in La Jolla real estate. “Helping out with the demo of his house and ensuring that the community knows how to donate is my absolute pleasure.” Funds for the Lance’s House project will be allocated toward making the home more efficient and environmentally friendly, as well as more accessible. “I can’t thank everyone enough for their help and support,” said Weir, who participates Carlos Gutierrez in events like the MDC as a part of Operation Rebound. Gutierrez, of Mission Beach, is also partnering with Bill Walton to host a Temecula cycling fundraiser to get Weir a new bike in time for the MDC.
