By Pat Sherman La Jolla resident Ed Clancy, who serves as the City of San Diego’s program manager for bicycle initiatives, recently gave the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) a presentation on a new bike-sharing program coming to San Diego and La Jolla in February 2014. The San Diego City Council approved the city entering into a corporate partnership agreement with DecoBke, which would finance, implement, manage and operate the program for 10 years. Under the program, bikes are secured at kiosks and can be rented using a credit or debit card. When done riding, users park bikes at any kiosk throughout the city. Similar programs have been implemented in Denver, San Francisco and Washington. An announcement from City Council President Todd Gloria said bike sharing would be an integral piece of San Diego’s transit tapestry, allowing people to “take the trolley, See Bike Share, A5

Nosal, whose research is focused on La Jolla’s near-shore population of docile leopard sharks, is concerned about negative public perception of sharks in light of precipitous species declines, with some open-ocean populations down 90 percent.

Mayor discusses Balboa Park centennial, rift with city attorney during La Jolla lunch By Pat Sherman San Diego Mayor Bob Filner addressed more than 150 people during the Group of 12 and Friends’ monthly luncheon and lecture, July 3 in Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute’s Fishman Auditorium. The mayor touched on topics ranging from next year’s centennial celebration in Balboa Park to his rift with City Attorney Jan Goldsmith and plans to ramp up economic opportunity at San Diego’s port. Whether planning for the centennial or his proposed bi-national Olympics in San Diego and Tijuana, Filner said there are opportunities to improve San Diego that could benefit residents well into the future. “Let’s have high expectations,” said Filner, noting that he was less than impressed with centennial organizers’ initial platform and theme, “Edge 2015,” which was intended to showcase San Diego as a center for technology and innovation. “What the hell is the Edge? Shaving?” Filner joked. “I would go around the city and nobody understood what it was. People know what Balboa Park is. They’re proud of it. Let’s express that.” Filner said that when he walked into his first briefing by the Balboa Park Centennial Committee, he “sensed low expectations.” “They couldn’t raise much money, they thought. … They were thinking of 365 days of music and I said, ‘With all due respect to your elementary school kids, you’ll have an elementary school choir with the parents of those kids attending, and that’s about it.’ ” Filner said he instead proposed bringing the “12 best musical and artistic exhibitions and acts in the world” to San Diego — one per month. How does Filner intend to pay for his grand centennial plans, which also include lighting the Coronado Bridge the entire year, a “spectacular bi-national concert,” world-class museum exhibits and

Pat Sherman Disneyland-like trams to bring people into Balboa Park (a vestige of the failed centennial plan proposed by Qualcomm cofounder Irwin Jacobs), he was asked. Filner said centennial funding would come from “private sources, corporate sponsorships, food sales, philanthropic organizations and corporate donations,” and that plans could be scaled up or down depending on how much money is raised. “We’re not asking for public funds on this, but there will be some infrastructure, obviously, and stuff that we will require,” he said, noting that San Diego Gas & Electric has committed to pay for installation of as much as $30 million worth of microgrid technology (a self-contained, energyefficient, power-generating system).

Filner said the system would allow the entire park to run off renewable energy. “They’re putting in this $30 million to say it is the most ‘green’ park in America — and that’s worth a lot of money,” he said.

Auto extradition While on the subject of Balboa Park, Filner also touched on his effort to get parked cars off the Plaza de Panama by removing painted parking spaces (as opposed to building a bypass bridge or parking garage as Jacobs’ plan proposed). He said the now vehicle-free plaza would allow the Museum of Man to move its café onto the plaza, and the Timken Museum and other cultural outlets to create their own spaces in the plaza. “Just taking the cars out opens up all kinds

Asked if he thought he would ever reach a détente in his strained relationship with City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, Filner characterized the rift as more than a personal feud. He said their clash is the result of an “institutional and structural problem” also faced by other large cities with both an elected city attorney and a “strong mayor” — and what he characterized as Goldsmith’s misguided interested in helping shape policy, which Filner said is his responsibility. “We should not see it as just a personal spat,” Filner said, conceding that the acrimony between them was “bad for the city and bad for all of us.” Filner also blamed the problem on what he said is Goldsmith’s refusal to provide him with proper legal counsel. “The final solution, if you want, I think will be a (city) charter change that gives either the mayor his or her own legal support, or has an appointed attorney, rather than an elected attorney,” Filner said. “What you have is an elected attorney who defines his constituency in several ways: the public, the mayor and the (city) council. “He (Goldsmith) says I am not one of the clients,” Filner continued. “Come on, I’m the chief executive of the city. The charter gives me all kinds of power, but if you can’t talk to your attorney in a privileged way, that is confidentially and in private, what

From Plaza La Jolla, A1 “The Jack’s (owners), as you know, put a lot of improvements into the building — well, they called them improvements, but I think they’re quite the eyesore,” Williams said of existing design elements, from awnings to sidewalk shade structures. “We have to take all that out.” Developers seek to woo boutique retail tenants, and possibly add a restaurant on the top floor, Williams said. Davlyn is in negotiations with three or four tenants, and Williams said he hopes others in the Village may be interested in relocating to the building. Williams and other project representatives came to the LJVMA meeting to request that the association draft a letter to the City of San Diego in support of suspending a summer moratorium on public right-of-way impingements that typically accompany construction. “We have plans to open Dec. 1 and that won’t be possible unless we’re able to start the demolition soon,” said Williams, who hopes to begin erecting scaffolding around the building as early as this week. Plans were submitted to the city July 5 and accepted shortly after. Davlyn cancelled a presentation to the LJVMA several months ago, and Williams said Davlyn has not

In the end, the board voted to send a letter to the city so that construction can begin posthaste, provided that LJVMA serve as a liaison between the developer and any adjacent merchants who express concerns with the project as it progresses.

Coller said the LJVMA has 150,000 maps of La Jolla that they could provide Old Town Trolley to give to passengers “That would be wonderful,” Thornton said. “Our next goal once we get the tour up and running is to work with you on promoting the businesses.”

They would be situated so that they are not blocking fire hydrants or handicap-access ramps, nor creating blind spots for drivers. “We want to support business. It’s environmentally friendly and it’s good for (people’s) health — but we’re not going to do that by compromising parking spots or the integrity of the neighborhoods,” Clancy said. People may purchase annual or monthly memberships, or rent bikes by the hour at any of the solar-powered kiosks. Riders with memberships would get an hour or halfhour of each day’s ride for free, and be charged an hourly rental of $12-$14 per hour afterwards. Memberships would be

about $125 per year. The program will include as many as 2,200 bicycles and as many as 220 kiosks — 12 to 15 of them in La Jolla, Clancy said. LJVMA Board President Phil Coller suggested a kiosk be located outside the La Jolla Visitor Information Center at 1162 Prospect St. Clancy said the red curb across the street from the center would be a likely choice for a kiosk. Coller said that while most visitors are familiar with Prospect Street, the ability to rent bikes would encourage people to “be more adventurous” and visit other portions of the Village. The bikes would be available in threespeed and shaft-driven models. People checking out bikes for those under the age of 18 will be responsible to assure they wear a helmet while riding, as required by law. Each bike basket will include a safety checklist. In the future, the city will establish a website where the public can suggest locations for kiosks, and hold town hall forums where people can view the bicycles and kiosks.

LJTC trustees also voted to approve partnering with Las Patronas to promote the event. In exchange for the philanthropic organization’s promotional prowess, LJTC will give Las Patronas 10 percent of the net proceeds from “Dancing with La Jolla Stars.” “This whole event started because there’s so many great projects in La Jolla that need help,” event organizer Nancy Gardner said. “San Diego just doesn’t have enough money to give us what La Jolla needs.” Gardner said some money would likely be set aside from the net proceeds as seed

From Saving sharks, A1 Future of Our Oceans,” held July 8 as part of the aquarium’s ongoing Perspectives of Ocean Science Lecture Series. There are more than 400 shark species, displaying a wide assortment of form, feeding habits, range of movement and use of habitat. “When you hear the word ‘shark,’ I want you to think first of their diversity,” Nosal told the audience. Over-fishing, increased demand for shark products and poor fisheries management are pushing many species toward extinction. This month, a study published in the journal Marine Policy (http:// bit.ly/ZKX4pv) estimated the number of sharks killed each year in commercial fisheries at 100 million. This exceeds many species’ ability to recover because sharks are slow growing, sexual mature later in life, have a prolonged gestation period and deliver relatively few pups. Because sharks are apex predators their loss causes a cascading effect in which unchecked fish populations soon gobble up smaller fish and invertebrates resulting in the loss of commercially important fish and shellfish species down the food chain. What about sharks’ fearsome reputation? Nosal said it’s unjustified when

Research Report LynnE Friedmann

‘Bath Salts’ stimulant highly addictive

cientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have published one of the first studies of MDPV — an emerging recreational drug — that confirmed its powerful stimulant effects in rats and found evidence that it could be more addictive than methamphetamine. MDPV (3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone) is derived from cathinone, the active ingredient in a leaf chewed for its stimulant effects throughout northeast Africa and the Arabian peninsula. Synthesized decades ago but never used, cathinone derivatives were rediscovered by underground chemists in the early 2000s. Labeled and sold as “bath salts” or “plant food” allows the drug to skirt laws against marketing them for internal use. Their sale is banned in the United States and many other countries. Researchers compared MDPV’s stimulant effects to those of methamphetamine by allowing rats to dose themselves intravenously by pressing a lever. In order to quantify the animals’ desire for either of the drugs, an ever-greater number of lever presses was required to obtain subsequent infusions. Rats emitted about 60 lever presses for a dose of meth but up to 600 for MDPV. Some rats would even emit 3,000 lever presses in order to obtain a single MDPV hit. — Findings appear in the journal Neuropharmacology. News release at http://bit.ly/15fKwbK

Coastal power plant records reveal fish decline A dramatic drop in a number of key fish species has been documented by researchers tapping into a nontraditional source of information: A 40-year record of

the fish captured in cooling water systems at five Southern California coastal power plants. This unique data set is derived from the tens of millions of cubic meters of water filtered annually at each power plant. Every fish caught by the cooling systems since 1972 has been identified and counted. The analysis, performed jointly by MBC Applied Environmental Sciences (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, centered on so-called “forage” fishes, small species such as sardines and anchovies that live close to shore and are consumed by larger predatory fish, seabirds and marine mammals. Findings revealed the bulk average of fish from early power plant recordings (1972-1983) declined by 78 percent compared with more recent years (1990-2010). Ranging from Northern San Diego County to Ventura County, the power plants included the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Huntington Beach Generating Station, Redondo Beach Generating Station, El Segundo Generating Station, and Ormond Beach Generating Station. — Findings are detailed in the journal Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science.

people accessed HPWREN’s camera images and data as the fire spread. Many of those images were used by the news media and viewed by the general public and first responders. HPWREN is a collaborative Internetconnected cyber-infrastructure for research, education, and public safety. The project supports a wireless data network in San Diego, Riverside, and Imperial counties that includes backbone nodes (typically on mountain tops) to connect often hard-to-reach areas in remote environments.

Tight Hamstrings & Low Back Pain Low back pain is a commonly treated ailment in physical therapy. There are many contributing factors that cause low back pain, one of which is tight hamstrings. The hamstrings are a group of 3 muscles located on the posterior (back) of the thighs responsible for bending the knee and extending the hip, bringing the thigh back behind you. When the hamstrings are tight, they pull the back of the pelvis downward, flattening out the natural curve of the lumbar spine. The flattening of the low back compromises the body’s ability to hold itself upright. Strengthening & stretching of the hamstring muscles can alleviate tension on the low back and relieve pain. At Ability Rehab we will evaluate the cause of your low back pain by assessing your flexibility, strength, body mechanics, gait and more, to determine a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs. Treatment techniques for back pain include, but are not limited to: manual therapy, joint mobilizations, stretching & strengthening exercises, massage and postural training. P.S. To learn more about back pain, join us for “Ouch! My Aching Back” Thurs. Aug 15th at 4:30pm; a speaking engagement presented by Julie Hom, MPT, NCS, Owner. PLEASE RSVP.

www.lajollalight.com From Saving sharks, A8 sharks are sensationalized as bloodthirsty killers. Even nature documentaries are not blameless. The next time you watch one, pay attention to the music. In scenes involving sharks, the music is often sinister — adding commentary and mood without saying a word. “Why do dolphins get all the happy music?” asked Nosal. Why are sharks hunted? Throughout history, sharks have been hunted for their meat, oil, teeth and hides. But a growing demand in recent decades for sharkfin soup — an Asian delicacy served at lavish weddings and special-event banquets — has tipped the balance against sharks. To meet the current demand requires 73 million fins annually.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - july 18, 2013 - Page A11

Harvested through “finning,” this involves slicing the fins off a live shark and then discarding the animal at sea to drown or bleed to death. Efforts to outlaw the cruel, wasteful practice are gaining traction, albeit slowly. Local laws and international treaties only go so far without addressing long-held cultural practices. TV and social media campaigns by nonprofit conservation groups are attempting to make consuming shark fin socially unacceptable. Chinese celebrities have joined in this effort, including actor Jackie Chan and former NBA star Yao Ming. Several airlines have announced they will stop transporting shark fins as cargo. And, last year, the prestigious Peninsula Hotel and its parent company stopped serving shark fin and related products in its restaurants and banquet facilities

throughout Asia. But, don’t assume this is only an overseas issue. “In San Diego, there were once 20 restaurants that served shark-fin soup,” according to Nosal. California has joined Oregon, Washington, Hawaii and Guam in banning the sale and possession of shark fin. In New York, a similar law currently awaits Gov. Cuomo’s signature. What can the average person do to help shark conservation? Make smart consumer choices: Don’t buy shark meat. Don’t eat shark-fin soup. If you fish, release the sharks you catch. Nosal began and ended his lecture with the statement: “We must love sharks as much as we love dolphins.” As an introduction, this drew a few chuckles from the audience. As a conclusion to his remarks, it drew sustained applause and affirmative nods.

Community planners approve Starbucks patio plans La Jolla Community Planning Association

n Starbucksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new gathering space: Though some LJCPA members expressed concern about impacts to traffic flow along Torrey Pines Road from a Starbucks location near the intersection of Torrey Pines Road and Girard Avenue, the board unanimously approved the design of its proposed patio. The board voted that findings could be made for a coastal development permit and site development permit to construct a 1,099-square-foot patio, which would replace a former bank drivethru. The LJCPA motion included a provision that Starbucks construct a sidewalk and curb to

to get in and out of the driveways when heading north on Torrey Pines Road. Ahearn said many patrons, including residents and those from the adjacent language school, walk to the establishment, adding that he believes it will create â&#x20AC;&#x153;a sense of community and of place.â&#x20AC;?

By Pat Sherman During its July meeting, the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) green-lighted Starbucksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan to add an outdoor patio to its location at 1055 Torrey Pines Road, but were seeing red over the color of the Devonshire House condos at the corner of Eads Avenue and Silverado Street. LJCPA members say the dark ruddy color of Devonshire House, painted in July 2011, does not comply with La Jollaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planned District Ordinance (PDO), the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blueprint for development. A motion was passed to have LJCPA President Tony Crisafi draft a letter to the city urging that it enforce the PDO in regard to this property. Kris McMillan, who owns one of 64 units in the building, said a few

members of Devonshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeowner association board approved the color change without community input. In an e-mail sent to the board in June 2011, McMillan said the color, named Smokey Mountain â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;did not construe in my mind the bright red, fake brick tone of the terra cotta color being used.â&#x20AC;? McMillan said there is talk about repainting the exterior, but little money in the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reserve fund for the job.

The La Jolla Community Planning Association board voted to have its president draft a letter to the City of San Diego stating that the dark red color of this condominium building at Eads Avenue and Silverado Street does not comply with La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance. LJCPA Vice-chair Joe LaCava said the Starbucks and adjoining Chipotle restaurant may prevent some of the language students from darting across the bustling street to visit other lunch and break spots. “I’m surprised nobody got killed (before),” LaCava said.

In other LJCPA news n Subcommittee attendance: Several items that

would normally have landed on the LJCPA’s consent agenda, wound up on its regular agenda for discussion, because there was no quorum at recent meetings of the Traffic and Transportation Board (T&T) and the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC). President Crisafi said he represented the PRC on one item, while La Jolla Shores Association President Tim Lucas represented

La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) President Tony Crisafi said he reviewed architectural drawings on file with the city for this home on Nautilus Street and Draper Avenue, and they comply with La Jolla’s 30-foot height limit, though he said he is not sure whether the actual building is in compliance. Photos by Pat Sherman

the T&T board on several others, both in an ex-officio capacity. “I’ve had several discussions with the city regarding the exofficio rule,” Crisafi said. “I and others believe that that was the correct use of that rule under Robert’s Rules of Order and our bylaws. The city thought that I should place these items as action items so that if there were any objections or any additional

information that the public would want they would have the opportunity to do that under the Community Planning Association.” Crisafi urged committee members to attend the subcommittee and joint-committee meetings so that the LJCPA can take action on projects. “Otherwise,” he said, “they’re going to end up on our agenda

and we’re not going to be able to do our regular business the way we’re used to doing it.” Consent agenda items approved July 10 include: — A site development permit to remodel and construct a 6,000square-foot, two-story addition to a 3,775-square-foot residence (for a total of total 9,733 square feet) at

Shores Association updated on Map lawsuit, donor wall and unregulated commercial activity La Jolla

Shores

Association

By Ashley Mackin At the July 10 La Jolla Shores Association meeting, Mary Coakley-Munk updated the board about the Friends of La Jolla Shores (FLJS) lawsuit against contractor T.B. Penick (over the cracking of The Map at Kellogg Park) and offered a progress report about the planned donor wall there. Chair Tim Lucas also updated the board on the progress of the commercial activity committee. n The Map Coakley-Munk said that after FLJS announced its lawsuit at a June 20 press conference, the group is talking with contractor T.B. Penick to reach resolution outside of court. As previously reported in

Rendering of the proposed donor wall at Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores, which includes metal fish engraved with patron names. La Jolla Light, FLJS alleges T.B. Penick (the group hired to construct The Map) made claims about the durability and longevity of the laminating substance Lithocrete, which covers the map and keeps the decorative crushed glass underneath in place. But on

two separate occasions during the past five years, the Lithocrete has cracked and come apart. The Map is currently roped off and the city has labeled it a “safety hazard” until it can be repaired. Coakley-Munk reported that T.B. Penick is “amenable” to working

Precious metals shine as long-term investments By Marti Gacioch In this ever-changing economic climate, gold and other precious metals continue to hold a strong allure for knowledgeable, discriminating investors, said Peter Kevorkian, owner of United Coin and Precious Metals. Kevorkian’s had a lifelong interest in coin collecting and also has an indepth knowledge of precious metal investments. He views the current debasement of currency on the global level as a signal for serious, long-term investors to take advantage of the buying opportunities now available in precious metals. “Currency is continually being debased because the United States, the European Central Bank, Japan and numerous other central banks around the world keep printing currency,” Kevorkian said. “Right now you’re seeing a stronger U.S. dollar because of all the weaker currencies abroad, which strengthens ours, but only as a matter of default.” Kevorkian sees metals as a long-term investment and a hedge against uncertainty, the continual debasement of currencies and inflation. According to Kevorkian, the average

Peter Kevorkian, owner of United Coin and Precious Metals

United Coin customer is a 50- to 60-year-old, well-educated, selfemployed male acutely aware of global economics, who invests in precious metals for the long haul. “A lot of people understand the economics of this and know that in the long term with metals, you have nowhere to go but up,” Kevorkian said. A coin collector since he was a young boy, Kevorkian’s shop displays some high-end collectibles, including a 7.69 gold nugget found in the Alaskan Klondike 100 years ago, and gold and silver coins manufactured at the

Carson City, Nevada Mint between 1870 and 1893. “The Carson City mark is prized by collectors because the mint was in operation for only 23 years, and they minted very low numbers of coins each time so they are more rare,” Kevorkian said. “There is also a mystique about the Wild West and these coins are beautiful to look at.” Kevorkian said that U.S. gold coins minted prior to 1933 are a good investment now because many of these coins are priced not much higher than their own gold melt value, whereas in the past the premiums were two or three times their melt value. United Coin buys coins, collectible estate jewelry and traditional gold jewelry and invites coin collectors to come by and discuss their value. — United Coin and Precious Metals, 950 Silverado St., La Jolla.

50 Years of Flapjacks Tickets on sale for annual Kiwanis family breakfast

he Kiwanis Club of La Jolla will host its 50th annual pancake breakfast, 7:30-11:30 a.m. Saturday, July 27 at the La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St. The breakfast includes all-you-can-eat pancakes and sausages, plus raffle drawings, live music and pony rides, bounce houses and face painting for children. Tickets are $10 each. Children ages 10 and younger may attend for free. Tickets can be purchased at the event, or beforehand at C&H Photo, 7442 Girard Ave. Each year the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla donates more than $175,000 through the La Jolla Kiwanis Foundation. The majority of the money is given to charitable organizations in La Jolla and San Diego with an emphasis on children. For more information, visit lajollakiwanisone.org

From Shores Association, A14 working with us; we do not want to have to go through with the lawsuit. I don’t think they do either,” CoakleyMunk said. Once The Map is repaired, Coakley-Munk said FLJS plan to install a low-sitting wall, similar in height and appearance to the cobblestone wall at Children’s Pool. The wall would surround The Map with only one access point, in the hopes of keeping foot traffic and sand to a minimum to ease the need for maintenance. The board voted 8-0-1 in support of installing the wall with regular updates in design and progress. n Donor Wall The FLJS Donor Wall at Kellogg Park (proposed as an Eagle Scout project by Kristoff Pawinski) is one step closer to being installed, Coakley-Munk said. The display includes metal fish and dolphins of various sizes, with the names of donors engraved on them. The location where Pawinski — with the support of FLJS — wants to place the installation currently has a memorial plaque honoring Mario Saikhon there. Coakley-Munk said she met with the Saikhon family, who gave permission for the plaque to be moved from the

east side of the site to the west side. The west side was deemed more appropriate because there is already a bronze plaque and tiles there, which were painted by children to thank those who made donations to Kellogg Park playground improvements. n Commercial use of the park Chair Lucas updated the board about the progress of the Unregulated Commercial Activity Committee (UCAC), which is figuring out how to regulate activity, such as diving and yoga classes, in Kellogg Park. One suggestion was to establish a wristband system, which surf shops could sell. Additionally, Lucas said if a ranger was stationed at the park — which the board has been pushing for — the ranger could sell and keep an eye out for the wristbands. “We figure the diving community would be self-policing because if one group pays for the wristbands and has them and then sees another group or wildcat dive instructor teaching people at the park before getting in the water without wristbands, they would report them,” Lucas said. — The La Jolla Sores Association will not meet in August, but will convene again at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 11 at the Martin-Johnson House of Scripps Institute of Oceanography, 8840 Biological Grade.

OUR VIEW scandals with allegations ill fitting anyone, let alone a person elected to serve in public office. As we try to get information from his staff these days, we encounter resignations at City Hall and much uncertainty. We’re frustrated when we recall Mayor Filner’s campaign promise for transparency in public office. This said, the Light stands behind the Mayor’s right to due process of law. We

understand the victims’ hesitation to come forward, but strongly encourage them to do so. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the accused the right to be confronted with the witnesses against them — not their friends, nor lawyers. The citizens of San Diego need to hear from these women so we can judge for ourselves. The accusations describe outrageous behavior that goes far beyond the description of sexual harassment, and if true, then Mayor Filner has replaced the old stench with a new one and should resign from office.

Do you think San Diego Mayor Bob Filner should resign in light of the sexual harassment allegations against him? We asked this question in the Village on July 16. Compiled by Pat Sherman

“Absolutely. I don’t believe there could be this many separate allegations, including now the comments of his ex-fiancée and all these political allies, if they weren’t essentially true — and if they’re essentially true, then he’s completely unfit to lead the city.” Elizabeth Bluhm San Diego

“I think you have to wait ’til the women come out. If these women feel they have a strong enough case that they’ve reached out to counsel, then let the courts decide. If he’s found guilty, then absolutely; if he’s found innocent, then no.” Fernando Sustaeta La Jolla

Time to accept fate of La Jolla post office I’m sure you’ve received a stack of mail about the La Jolla Post Office, but here’s my contribution to that pile. As someone who has logged many years providing professional environmental consulting services to the United States Postal Service (USPS), I was surprised that they took so long to reach their final determination regarding the sale of the Wall Street building. I have seen them act much more quickly in other circumstances, and they clearly DID consider “thoughtful input by the community.” (Joe LaCava quote in the July 11 issue). I also know about some of their fiscal issues, and am curious as to the basis of Leslie Davis’ statement that the USPS “are not” facing a financial crisis. I was also under the impression that the Save La Jolla Post Office Task Force

“I don’t think so. I think we all make mistakes. I feel like people try to frame the bigger guy, or the more powerful guy, especially people who are trying to bring him down, so I have a hard time believing that he really did the things that he (allegedly) did.” Bebesh Khakshouri La Jolla

“Yes. He brought his Washington ethics out here and obviously it included sexual harassment of women. I am shocked that he (allegedly) did it during the campaign — the most publicly exposed time in his career. I’m glad he got rid of the stink of the birds, but I wish he had used a little bit of that stuff on himself.” Christopher Canole La Jolla

OUR READERS WRITE would get first crack at purchasing the building, so why not pony up the money and buy it? I foresee that the USPS is in for rough water pursuing relocation, if that’s what is to happen. Since Mr. LaCava said that “This fight is not over,” does that mean that there will be zoning issues, permit denials, contentious negotiations with prospective landlords, and other hurdles that the USPS will have to face? I certainly hope not, because such barriers to transition would go against all the values supported by the “hyper-concentrated knowledge, education and wealth this area boasts.” (Quote from Pete Nusebaum’s July 11 Letter to the Editor.) I suggest that everyone swallow hard, take a deep breath, and enjoy the rest of the summer. Dale S. Duffala, CHMM Environmental scientist, Bird Rock

“I do believe he should get the due process of proving the allegations one way or the other. However, when there’s enough voices, as there seem to be in a case like this, I feel like due process will show us that he should resign.” Katie Flegal North Park

‘Dirty’ Village draws hosts’ embarrassment I recently went to dinner with guests from Switzerland and after dinner we walked along Girard Avenue to see the sights and some of the murals. We were ashamed of the decrepit appearance with trash strewn all over, weeds sprouting in the flower boxes, and the number of homeless men hanging out in the small park behind Vons grocery store. We were embarrassed at our Village’s appearance and our guests were amazed as they have visited here in the past. Either keep it clean or everyone will avoid shopping and dining here.

OPINION

Page A20 - july 18, 2013 - LA JOLLA LIGHT

From Letters, A19

Speak up, maybe the litter problem will end I , too, am writing in response to Marie Newton’s letter (about the litter degrading La Jolla Village). Thank you Marie for stepping up to address this problem. In the old days in La Jolla many businesses were owned by people who lived here. They took pride in their surroundings and storefront appearance. Today many of the businesses in La Jolla are now “chains” and there is no one inside who cares about the storefront appearance. Besides all the trash that is building up in La Jolla, the sandwich board messages are also an eyesore. Pet poop is all over. Why do cigarette smokers think the Earth is their ashtray? The trash around La Jolla High School is unbelievable. The trash next to Vons where the homeless people reside is appalling. It stinks when I ride my bike in this area. I could go on and on about areas of La Jolla that are tarnished jewels, if that. We can all criticize forever, but what is the solution? If I see someone squash a cigarette on the concrete, I speak up. If I see someone drop trash, I speak up. I wonder why the “population” now is so disrespectful? Didn’t their mothers or fathers teach respect? Cathleen Christian La Jolla

OUR READERS WRITE

Join crusade to report street litter to Caltrans In response to Patrick Deighan’s letter in the July 4 issue, I agree that there is an unacceptable amount of litter along Route 52 leading to La Jolla and surrounding areas. I’ve traveled to many cities in the United States and am sad to say San Diego seems to have the most litter along its freeways. I have dodged sofas, buckets, trash cans and other household items flying off of trucks on these freeways; most notably, on I-5. We’ve all seen the pickup trucks stacked 20-feet-high with furniture and mattresses, and little more than a rope securing the teetering items, while these trucks are going 60-plus miles per hour. Such trucks are a common sight along I-5, since these items are being trucked across the border to Mexico to be distributed — great for families in need, but a disaster for our freeways. I can’t understand why there aren’t laws requiring that these potentially dangerous projectile items (moving at high speeds) be transported with a net or some sort of device that completely covers and secures the huge loads. We need laws that prevent such debris from ending up on our streets. I have submitted cleaning requests to Caltrans to report litter along our freeways

Population explosion has global warming role Once again we are provided with a discussion of global warming (“Whose fault is global warming?” by Jeffrey Meyer in the July 4 issue of La Jolla Light.) The world population has increased from 2 billion to 6.5 billion in just the past 80 years and is predicted to double in the next 40 years. Why is this explosion of humans on the planet rarely discussed when considering global warming? It is an obvious, huge factor that is generally ignored! Lee Vida M.D. La Jolla

U.S. flag thefts are not a funny prank I read Peggy Mullens’ letter in the July 11 issue with great dismay. Our American flag was also stolen while our son was in Afghanistan doing bomb disposal for the Marines. My husband and I were deeply hurt when we saw it was gone. Not sure what kind of a person does this, but it’s no joke. Sunny Donald La Jolla

Construction worker’s flirtations not welcome I live in La Jolla and read the La Jolla Light regularly. That’s why I’m using this forum to convey what happened to me while walking my dog this morning (July 9) near the construction site on Van Nuys near Candlelight Drive. One of the construction workers approached me while I was walking next to his car. He approached me and said “hi” seductively, after I guess I would say he blew me a kiss. I responded with appalling attitude. Thank goodness I was on the phone and felt a little secure. But after he knew I was very uncomfortable, he tried to cover it up by saying, “good morning.” I told the person I was speaking with on the phone what just happened. I kept walking and did not say anything to him, however, when I turned around to see if he was behind me, he was getting into his car. I saw my neighbor and her two girls walking by him. I wanted to warn them about what just happened, but there was so much noise and I saw they were approaching their home safely. I think this man’s actions were very inappropriate in a neighborhood environment. This should be known and watched out for. I am taking more precautions now while walking my dog, which I never knew was necessary until now. I just wanted to alert others. Myra Bautista La Jolla

What’s on YOUR mind?

The Light always takes a lead in what makes La Jolla beautiful, so I am writing in the hope you take a look at a promotional tool popping up around town. Flag signs are stuck in the landscaping and planters as a business promotional effort. So what was once an attempt at beautification is now an eyesore. You hardly notice the first one, but each week more pop up. I read in another

Group rates water quality at Shores beach The environmental activist group, Natural Resources Defense Council, announced on June 7 its findings on beach water quality at beaches nationwide. California ranked 20th out of 30 states, and La Jolla Shores got two out of five possible stars. The study recorded, among other things, how frequently the beach is monitored (as required by the state), the number of water samples taken, how many of those samples exceed the state’s maximum daily bacterial standard and how many closing or advisory days were posted. In 2012, La Jolla Shores had assigned monitoring frequency of once a week, 37

samples were taken, and 3 percent of the samples exceeded state daily maximum bacterial standards. There were no closure or advisory days reported. La Jolla Shores is one of 241 beaches in California to have between 0 and 10 percent of its samples exceed state bacterial maximums. Comparatively, in 2012 the La Jolla Cove was monitored twice a month, 20 samples were taken and none of them exceeded state standards. The data for the Cove is available, though it did not receive a starred ranking. To see the full report, visit nrdc.org/water/ oceans/ttw

We just haven’t gotten to the stage where the wood siding and the wood baffling is covering everything.” Friedman said the duct encasing Forbes mentioned would be expelling water vapor. He said the building is designed to be ultra-efficient.

“The actual heating and cooling uses about 15 percent of the energy of a typical building, so there’s actually much less mechanical stuff there to make noise,” Friedman said. “We purchased the quietest cooling towers on the market and we also oversized them so that the fan speeds could run slower. “It is a building, and we have to heat and cool it,” he added, “but we tried to keep it as efficient and as quiet as we could.” n Home height concern: Trustee David Little expressed concern that the owner of a residential building on Nautilus Street at Draper Avenue may have exceeded the city’s height limit of 30 feet, and that an umbrella atop it brings the height to about 38 feet.

La Jollans celebrate diversity at annual LGBT Pride events

a Jollans were among the estimated 400,000 people who participated in last weekend’s annual LGBT pride events, including a sold-out gala Friday night, July 12 at the historic Burnham House near Balboa Park. The event was a fundraiser for the Rob Benzon Foundation, which provides financial assistance to San Diegans suffering from a catastrophic event who require emergency support, as well as local charitable causes serving youth and the LGBT communities. The organization is named after Rob Benzon, a 31-year-old San Diegan who drowned on June 5, 1999 after getting caught in a rip current while on vacation in Acapulco. robbenzon.org Embattled San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, who issued a statement on July 12 saying his appearance at Pride would be a “distraction” and that he would not be attending, made a surprise visit to the pride festival in Balboa Park on Sunday, July 14.

More architectural history in peril?

Cliff May homeowner tells neighbors there’s nothing to worry about Editor’s Note: This story is an updated version of a ‘La Jolla News Nugget’ item that appeared in the July 4 edition of La Jolla Light. The new version includes feedback from the property owner (who was unreachable by that issue’s deadline).

By Pat Sherman Historic preservationists are concerned that a 1936 home built by San Diego architect Cliff May (1909-1989) — considered the father of the California Ranch-style home — could be the next historic structure lost to development. “It’s one of the most significant Cliff May homes in town,” said Bruce Coons, executive director of the Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO). “It’s the first full courtyard house that he built.” Neighbors said that at the end of June all palm trees and other landscaping surrounding the historically significant home at 7727 Lookout Drive were cut down within a twoday period, without permits or the proper public notification they believe was required. Coons argued that any significant alterations to a property 45 years or older should trigger a review by the city’s Historical Resources Board (HRB) — including alterations to the original landscaping. “The setting is usually a major portion of (a property’s) history,” said Coons, who also lives in a home built by Cliff May. “(May) had a particular plant palette that he used in those days — pepper trees, olives, cactus and other things. … It all went with his early California theme.” He said the property also lies within an area that should be reviewed for Native American archaeology before undertaking work of that scale. Coons said he toured the property two years ago (most recently owned by the Yianilos family). He conceded that it

Though preservationists fear architect Cliff May’s 1936 California Ranch-style home could be demolished, the potential buyers of the property say they are interested in working with La Jolla Historical Society to restore it. “hadn’t been well tended” and “looked virtually abandoned,” but added, “the plantings were gorgeous; it was a virtual forest.” The property’s current owner, David Mandelbaum, viewed the grounds differently. “The landscaping was not there originally. It was planted by Mr. Yianilos in a very haphazard manner, and hadn’t been watered for five years,” he maintained, adding that it was home to “rats and mice and a complete fire hazard.”

Mandelbaum said he was told by the city that he did not need permits for the work done last month, which he said he views merely as “landscaping.” Coons said a collection of May’s architectural plans and a photograph of the property housed at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art could have helped determine which trees were original. “Things change over time — that’s the reason for the evaluation,” Coons said. “I mean, if they’re not there, they’re not there. But you have to do research to be sure … if those are the plants he planted.” Mandelbaum said he has preserved an olive tree in the center of the property, which may have been an original planting. “We’re trimming it and watering it and trying to save anything that we think was of original, historic value,” he said. Several neighbors contacted the Light to express concerns that Mandelbaum was subdividing the property to sell as individual lots, and may be preparing to grade, which would require a permit and historic review. However, Mandelbaum said the property was already divided into four lots more than a decade ago. “If it is historic, so be it, it’ll be historic and we’ll restore it to its former glory,” Mandelbaum said, noting that he is not sure whether he will sell the property as “one estate or four houses.” “There will be nothing that I will do to hurt the (Cliff May) house in any way,” he assured. According to a 2008 U-T San Diego obituary, Greek immigrant and longtime La Jollan Theresa Yianilos, who once resided on the property, was known around town as the “Palm Lady” due to the “fervent campaign” she waged to preserve palm trees in La Jolla and elsewhere in San Diego.

La Jollan Pat Christensen drafted by Houston Astros By Linda Hutchison What young baseball star doesn’t dream of moving up and shining brightly in the major leagues? For Pat Christensen of La Jolla, his dream and hard work have paid off. He was recently selected by the Houston Astros in the 27th round of the 2013 Major League Baseball draft. Christensen is a 2009 graduate of La Jolla High, where he excelled as a righthanded pitcher for the school’s baseball team. While pitching for the Vikings, he set records — 23 varsity career wins and a .742 winning percentage, the second highest in the team’s 90-year history. He didn’t start out as a shining star in baseball, however. He also played soccer and didn’t think he was a strong baseball hitter. But his parents, Patrick and Mary Beth Christenson of La Jolla, encouraged him to try pitching a for a year. “I tried that out and it worked pretty well,” the 22-year-old Christensen said. “With pitching, you have a lot of control over things, so that’s why I liked it. It came more natural to me than anything else.” After high school, Christensen decided to attend La Salle University in See Astros, A26

The team won all four games with a total of 16 goals, with zero goals scored on them. “As a soccer coach, I like to empower youngsters through self-esteem and confidence,” Taylor said. “To me this is the key that equips every child to unlock and maximize their potential. All of the La Jolla Youth Soccer Club training sessions were created to give each player a desire and contagious enthusiasm.” La Jolla Youth Soccer League will host its own soccer tournament during Labor Day weekend at Allen Field.

Philadelphia. There, for the next four years, he relied on his two-seam fastball, love of baseball and drive to deliver stellar performances for the Explorers. By the time he graduated earlier this year, he had set more records — fifth of all time in NCAA Division I history in saves with 44, as well as the lowest ERA (2.73) in La Salle history. He was named the Big 5 Pitcher of the Year as a senior. Christensen did not neglect his academic career either while at La Salle. He was twice named Big 5 scholar athlete of the year, earning Academic All-American status. He earned a bachelor’s degree with a double major in accounting and finance. Christensen is the first player drafted from La Salle since the Seattle Mariners selected pitcher Cody Weiss in 2011. At 6’ 3”, Christensen was one of 40 players drafted this spring by the Astros, which included 31 college players, 16 right-handed pitchers like

Christensen and eight left-handed pitchers. He said it hasn’t completely sunk in that he’s a professional baseball player, despite much support from family and friends. “I think by the time I actually go to where I’m supposed to go to start playing baseball, that’s when it will feel real to me,” he said shortly after his draft announcement in June. So where is Christensen playing? Currently, as part of the farm team system, for the Tri-City ValleyCats, based in Troy, New York. The Astros-affiliated team is doing well, currently ranking first in its New York-Penn League. The Astros unfortunately are not doing as well, but are working hard with a new owner and general manager — and minor league players like Christensen with big dreams and a mean fastball — to turn things around. Despite missing La Jolla’s beaches and weather, Christensen says he’s enjoying his new path. “It’s a great experience meeting people and traveling and playing baseball.”

Artist Dottie Stanley unveils her painting of Florence Riford. Ashley Mackin

Community Center members gather for tribute to Flo Riford By Ashley Mackin Members of the La Jolla Community Center gathered on July 10 to hear a presentation honoring Florence Riford, the La Jolla philanthropist responsible for the community center, the La Jolla library and much more. Community Center Director Nancy Walters offered a brief history of Riford’s life and then Riford’s friend and attorney, Tom Henry, shared anecdotes. All the while, attendees perused photo albums and admired poster-sized images of Florence Riford at various stages in her life. Walters told the crowd that Florence’s fortune had its roots in her husband’s investment savvy. Ira Riford, a real estate broker, married Florence in 1923, and in 1941 he retired in La Jolla. Ira applied his real estate knowledge to invest in property in Pacific Beach and La Jolla. When Ira died in 1963, he left Florence with plenty of money, but no business acumen. Florence claimed she didn’t even know how to write a check when her husband died. However, after his passing, Florence began to study the market and attend financial seminars. She became an astute investor and greatly increased the assets left her. “Florence was a remarkable woman, who largely made her fortune on her own,” Henry said. “Her husband gave her a little start, but she picked the investments and relied on her own judgment and we all know how well that went.” When she decided on a project in which to invest, it had to be on her terms, Henry reported. “I always had to put some conditions in (place) so it would come out right,” he said. “I’m not saying that’s good or bad, but that was just Florence for you.” For example, Henry said she wanted to make a gift to the UC San Diego Foundation. Soon after she met with the board members — seemingly all of a sudden — the foundation wanted to add community members to its board. See RIFORD, B7

Dr. Seuss’ cap collection tops gallery’s new show By David L. Coddon K, Dr. Seuss fans. Here’s something you may not have known about your favorite children’s book author and illustrator: He collected hats. Lots and lots and lots of hats. You’ll have a chance to see 26 of them when a touring exhibition titled “Hats Off to Dr. Seuss!” opens July 19 at the Legends Gallery of La Jolla. Also on display through Aug. 4 will be limited-edition prints of images from some of the best-known Seuss books, as well as examples from his “Secret Art” series of paintings, drawings and sculpture. (The exhibition will move to the Chuck Jones Gallery in downtown San Diego for an Aug. 9-25 run.) Bill Dreyer is curator of “The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss” collection, which includes original artworks by Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) that are unknown to many if not most Seuss devotees. The fact is, said Dreyer, “(Geisel) enjoyed painting more than anything. He worked hard at his children’s books, but painting was his love. If his work in children’s literature was the heart of the man, his artwork was his soul.” As for the hats collection, Dreyer recalled how he personally made the discovery. “I was at the Dr. Seuss Estate researching his artwork and Mrs. (Audrey) Geisel asked me ‘Would you like to see the hat closet?’ She opens up this door to this hidden room and in that room on both sides of the wall are hanging literally hundreds of hats that he’d begun collecting in the 1920s.”

Let Inga Tell You

It’s all in the intonation

La Jolla Cultural Partners

f there is one lesson I can never seem to learn, it’s that e-mail is the absolutely worst way to resolve a conflict. The reason, of course, is that it is virtually impossible to ensure that the recipient reads your e-mail in the same (hopefully conciliatory) tone in which you wrote it. In fact, you can pretty much guarantee that they won’t. There is, of course, a highly reliable way to convey tone of voice. It’s called the telephone. Or face to face. And if some of us were smart, they’d use them a LOT more. While almost all of my friends are reasonably punctual, I have two long-time friends who are chronically late. One of them is consistently a half hour behind schedule so that has been easy to resolve: when we meet for lunch, I arrive 25 minutes after the appointed time so that when she rushes in breathlessly five minutes later, I’ve barely had time to look at the menu. The other one has been more problematical. One of the downsides of cell phones is that people like this friend who are punctuality-challenged can now call you 20 minutes after they’re supposed to be there to tell you that they are “running late.” Before, she might have at

least made some effort to get there on time. OK, not much effort, but a little. But now I never know when she’s going to show up – anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour past due. She invariably decides to do a “quick” errand on the way to lunch that equally invariably ends up taking way longer than she thinks. Twice, I’ve finally ordered and finished eating by the time she arrived. I fully admit I am not the most patient person when it comes to waiting. So when this friend set up a lunch date at Finch’s recently, I thought (why, why did I think this??) I’d see if I could resolve this by e-mail. Warning: Readers, Do Not Try This At Home! E-mail from Inga (written in a normal somewhat-pleading voice:): Looking forward to seeing you at Finch’s on Tuesday! Lots to catch up on! I am wondering if any errands could possibly be done after lunch rather than before? As you know, I have an appointment at 1:30, so I really want to maximize our time together! What she reads: YOU COULDN’T SHOW UP ON TIME FOR YOUR OWN FUNERAL, YOU LOATHSOME TURD! What she replies: Are you trying to say something? I don’t think I like your tone.

Inga (to self): You moron! You knew better! Prediction: Even though you think the issue is hers, you’re going to end up apologizing. What I reply: Well, I know you sometimes do errands on your way to lunch and they often take longer than you expected through no fault of your own (post office is totally impossible!) Just hoping to see you as close to 12:00 as possible since I have to leave by 1:15. What she reads: SHOW UP AT 12:00 OR I’LL BLOW UP YOUR FRIGGIN’ BEEMER! What she replies: I ALWAYS arrive in as timely a fashion as possible. I can hardly be expected to control post office lines and traffic, Inga! Inga (never knowing when to leave bad enough alone): I see you so infrequently these days that I hate it when we have to put in a rush order for lunch and bolt it down. I confess I’m also not the most patient person when it comes to waiting! What she reads: INGA IS A TOTALLY ANAL UPTIGHT TYPE-A CONTROL FREAK WHO GOES APE S—T IF SOMEONE IS TWO MINUTES LATE! What she replies: I have unavoidably been a few minutes late on a couple of

occasions. But if it is so important to you that I show up PRECISELY on the DOT of 12:00 then I will run stop signs if necessary. Happy? INGA (to self): You knew better. You KNEW better. You are a total idiot! NOTHING is ever resolved by e-mail! What I reply: No, don’t run stop signs. I’m looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday! What she reads: I’D BETTER MAKE SURE INGA DOESN’T POISON MY SALAD IF I GET THERE AT 12:03. What she replies: It just really offends me to be attacked this way. Inga (to self): Uhoh! NOW you’ve done it! If you say “sorry”, she’s going to read it as a sarcastic “sorry”, as in “Well, SORRY!” In fact, anything you write at this point is going to be read in a hostile tone of voice. But no reply at all will be deemed as even more hostile. There is one, and only one, possible response. What I write: Bring grandchildren pictures! When she arrives: 25 minutes late. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach Inga by e-mail at inga47@san.rr.com

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

Just say ‘I do’ to the ‘Perfect Wedding’ at North Coast Rep

hat does a toilet brush have to do with a wedding? That’s a question not quite answered in North Coast Repertory Theatre’s “Perfect Wedding,” but one that shepherds an incredibly funny journey. Bill (Christopher M. Williams) wakes up to find a strange woman next to him under the beautiful red satin covers where he’s supposed to spend his wedding night with his soon-to-be wife, Rachel (Amanda Schaar). After his massive hangover headache allows a moment of sanity to breeze in, he questions the beautiful blonde, who introduces herself as Judy (Brenda Dodge). Fearing they’ve slept together and the end of his marriage before it happens, Bill urges her to leave. Oops, too late. Bill’s best man, Tom (Jason Maddy), is knocking on the door. Bill tells Judy to lock herself in the bathroom and if she’s found, to say she’s the chambermaid. When Tom learns Bill slept with a girl he picked up at a bar, he agrees to the cover up if Rachael arrives before the wayward girl can get out. This farce only gets more comical from there, with dozens of elements of surprise. Director Matthew Wiener chose his actors wisely, as every one of the sixmember cast is exceptional. Throughout the play, Bill finds himself in one frantic moment after another. He can’t get the girl out of the bathroom. He can’t explain to Tom or Rachael what really happened. And trying to keep everyone separated in the two rooms of the bridal suite makes Bill a nervous wreck. I particularly liked how scenic designer Marty Burnett created a set that appears as two rooms, with every touch proclaiming a bridal suite. Judy may seem to be a dumb blonde, but she has an explanation for everything. Well … until she ends up suddenly wearing Rachael’s wedding gown, which she leaves up to Rachael’s mother, Daphne (Linda Van Zandt), to explain. Daphne can’t help because Julie (Kerry McCue), the real chambermaid, is insisting she go to the lobby and settle Rachael’s dad down. He’s upset because the wedding preparations are not in place. That could be because that’s Tom’s job. However, Tom’s too busy keeping up with all the little white lies he has to tell to keep this wedding on target. I’ve rarely seen an actor portray so much stress and be funny as well as Maddy does in this play. Schaar and Dodge handle their roles well, but McCue is the female scene-stealer. How she goes from supposed girlfriend, to chambermaid, to the one holding the toilet brush, is one huge laugh after another. “Perfect Wedding” is the perfect summer play, lighthearted with silliness that features very talented actors. Take a friend or mate and enjoy.

For those who want to start with tapas, options include Oak Roasted Asparagus, blanketed with a thin slice of prosciutto and topped with pieces of romano, laying in extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar; and the Organic Heirloom Tomato and Watermelon Salad from the Mediterranean menu, featuring cubes of watermelon on slices of tomatoes, sprinkled with feta cheese and citrus vinaigrette. There are quite a few pizzas; one of the seasonal varieties is the Oven Roasted Tomato and Smoked Provolone Flatbread that is also topped with Kalamata olives, garlic and organic arugula.

FROM RIFORD, B1 It turned out Florence’s donation would only be received on the condition that her lawyer be added to the board, so he could watch how her money was being spent. Similarly, Florence wanted to donate land to the city for a library, but she had concerns the city would accept the land and then drag its feet on the construction, so she added a condition. The library had to be built within one year of the donation or the land would go to the Kiwanis Club. One year later, the La Jolla Riford Library was opened. One of the few projects that came without conditions was the establishment of the Horizon Club for Senior Citizens of La Jolla. The club later became the Florence Riford Senior Club, The Riford Center, and eventually, the La Jolla Community Center. “She was a woman of great determination and even greater compassion,” Walters said of Florence Riford. Of the motivation behind all her sizable donations, Walters quoted Florence: “I saw the need and wanted to help.” But that’s not to say she didn’t make people work for her money. Henry joked that she would pit one charity against another to see who could make the best offer. She would

Student raising funds to build high school in India By Ashley Mackin Maya Lakshman, a 16-year-old La Jolla High senior, is spending her summer working with non-profit organizations to raise funds for a high school in a rural village in southern India. Lakshman also helped organize the “Passage to Bollywood” benefit set for July 19 in Balboa Park. Before meeting Lakshman, the Rural Indian Student Education (RISE) organization built an elementary school and a middle school, but did not have money to build a high school. Lakshman, a life-long community volunteer, stepped up to help. She’s spent the first month of her summer vacation going door-to-door to residences, hotels and restaurants for donations and sponsorships. Lakshman also enlisted the help of Room to Read and Universal Technology Outreach Community Hubs (U-TOUCH) to supplement the proposed high school with books and computers. She said she wanted to collaborate with many non-profits instead of relying on the resources of just one. Because Room to Read helps establish and fill libraries across the world, and U-TOUCH offers training in digital technologies in villages that don’t have access to computers, they seemed the perfect fit.

La Jolla High senior Maya Lakshman, left, hopes to improve the lives of children in India. “The goal is to provide poor, rural children with a quality education that they deserve and that urban children already receive. I’m just happy I get to make a difference in some way,” she said, adding that she wouldn’t be up to the daunting task without the support of her family. “Even though they were common people who grew up in India, my parents always

taught me to strive to make the world a better place, and encouraged me to be aware of my surroundings and help people in need in any way that I could,” she said. She is hopeful the July 19 event will raise enough money to get the project off the ground and in motion. For the fundraiser, there will be an Indo-Western fashion show, catered dinner, a comedy performance,

Bully for her!

Grad battles harassment with book, athletes in action project

Gizelle Studevent, an alumnus of The Bishop’s School tackles the issue of bullying in her book, ‘Bridges.’

By Ashley Mackin Gizelle Studevent, 22, a graduate of The Bishop’s School in La Jolla and Penn State University, is taking a tough stance against bullying in her new book, “Bridges.” It touches on her school experiences as the subject of bullying and provides challenging advice to adults who discover that a child is being bullied. In an interview with La Jolla Light, Studevent said people were always telling her she should write a book about her story, but she never felt compelled. “Everyone has a story to tell, but I’m not an author,” she said. Then she heard about a student named Phoebe Prince, who came from

Ireland to go to school in Boston. Prince committed suicide in January 2010 because she couldn’t handle the bullying she was experiencing. “I knew I had a responsibility to share my story,” Studevent said. “(Phoebe’s story) pushed me to write the book.” “Bridges” was published on May 14 and chronicles the bullying incidents Studevent experienced before transferring to Bishop’s. It includes letters to parents, teachers, coaches, men, women and her generation as a whole. Declining to name the school at which she was horribly harassed, Studevent said she endured the demeaning treatment for years. It started with letters left in her gym bag and

up for them, what are the kids supposed to do?” She said teachers, parents and coaches need to be willing to intercede on behalf of children who come to them with a problem — no matter how uncomfortable that problem might be. “Those in authority have a responsibility to stand up for these kids; they need you, they look to you to help them solve their problems. When parents and teachers are willing to listen and take action, it’s easier to tell kids in tough situations to go to someone they trust,” she said. When Studevent transferred to The Bishop’s School, she said she found supportive adults. “The teachers were welcoming and perfect,” she said. With some financial aid provided by Bishop’s, Studevent attended the school and thrived. She went on to attend Penn State, where she won multiple community, athletic and academic awards, and formed Penn State Athletes Take Action (PSATA). Through PSATA, student athletes come together to go to a local school and teach kids different ways to talk to each other. Via interactive exercises, they demonstrate how positive words can make children feel good and how negative words and actions can leave a hurtful lasting impression. Studevent advised others who want to implement similar programs to reach out to universities because they have the athletes, as well as professors and

backpack addressed to “senorita” (Studevent is half Mexican), which talked about her racial background and implied that her father and her basketball coach “had something going on.” Other letters sent to her home said she would never get into college and questioned why she was even applying. The harassment escalated when someone (who Studevent later found out was her teammate) tried to plant drugs on her when the school was cracking down on teen drug use. Studevent said the teammate was trying to make sure she was caught with drugs, and even hired a dealer to plant them. The pinnacle of disgust arrived when her father was informed that someone had linked his daughter’s name to a pornography site on which the name “Gizelle Studevent” was listed as the participant. Studevent said the school administration’s ineffective handling of the situation really opened her eyes and worked to give her book its crucial direction: How adults can (and must) help. “When the administration found out about the first letter, they acted as if they were going to find out who did it,” she said. However, they later developed an attitude of “this will blow over,” she said, which left her to feel they had swept it under the rug. “(Adults) were too scared to do anything and that is a problem,” she said. “If the adults the kids confide in either can’t or won’t stand

Through her own painful experiences, writing the book and working with children as an adult, Studevent said one lesson became clear. “Teachers need to stand up for kids,” she said. “Do more for your children … go above and beyond. Teachers ask us to do that; well they should be doing the same for their students. You have these kids in your hands for a short while, so go above and beyond, and teach them life lessons … and parents, listen to your kids.”

From Dr. Seuss, B1

La Jollan Audrey Geisel, the widow of Dr. Seuss, has opened up the legendary ‘hat closet’ to allow the public a peek at Dr. Seuss’s hat collection. Courtesy

Dreyer recounted that at dinner parties, Ted Geisel would go into the hat closet, gather hats and ask everyone in attendance to wear one and assume the personality that the hat inspired. “That,” Dreyer said, “would always liven up a party.” This year marks the 75th anniversary of the release of the second Dr. Seuss book (the first was “And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street”), “The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.” “We thought this was the perfect time to bring out this hidden hat collection and tie it to his artworks,” explained Dreyer, “which are inspired in many cases by the specific hats in his collection or by hats he owned himself.” The Theodor Geisel hats reflect world history as well as his own. “You see in his collection that he brings hats from Central America, South America, Europe,” said Dreyer. “You’ll see Peruvian hats and hats from his time in World War II. There’s a Nazi field marshal’s hat, an Italian Fascist fez. There’s a Baroque helmet that looks like it’s seen action. “There’s also a Dickens top hat and of course wacky, wonderfully Seussian hats that are filled with feathers and colors.” As for the iconic ‘Cat in the Hat’ hat, one will be on display. “That hat I believe did not precede the book (which was published in 1957),” Dreyer said. “Somebody probably fashioned the hat and gave it to him as a gift.” Dreyer will discuss the hats and the life of Dr. Seuss, 7 p.m. Saturday, July 20 at the Legends Gallery. As for the exhibition itself, “It’s a way to learn something about an American icon that you thought you knew everything about,” Dreyer said, “and a way to take a nostalgic walk through your childhood.”

The ‘Hats Off to Dr. Seuss!’ exhibit has been created in honor of the 75th anniversary of Dr. Seuss’s second book, ‘The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.’

Watermelon Bruschetta

Catharine L. Kaufman

Watermelon time! Get ’em while their ripe and juicy!

icture Frida Kahlo’s still-life oil painting, “Viva la Vida,” (which translates from Spanish into “live the life”) — a table bursting with an array of succulent pink watermelons with glossy black seeds and glistening emerald rinds. One wants to reach in, grab a chunk and gorge on the mouth-watering flesh. This time of year, watermelons are piled skyhigh on roadside stands, at farmers markets and in supermarket produce aisles, so here’s a primer on how to get the best out of this quintessential summer treat.

Looking back Watermelons have been cooling palates since prehistoric times, although they were first harvested in Egypt roughly 5,000 years ago. Pharaohs’ tombs were filled with the melons, so the deceased would be kept hydrated in the afterlife, while early explorers carted them around as canteens for their water supply. It’s hard to believe that such a succulent food is actually a vegetable, not a fruit. Watermelon is a vine-growing gourd, a close sibling to the cucumber and pumpkin, and belongs to the botanical family Curcurbitaceae. Even though these melons contain 92 percent water, they are packed with a mother load of nutrients including immune-boosting Vitamins C and A, stress-busting B1 and B6,

n Method: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush watermelon with olive oil, and season with salt and cayenne. Grill for 2 minutes or until grill marks form. Cut into small cubes.

n The Bread: • 1 seedy baguette (sliced 1-inch thick) • 1 tablespoon melted organic butter (optional for cholesterol-conscious) • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste

potassium, magnesium, copper and fiber, and the richest source of lycopene (redfleshed), even surpassing the mighty tomato as prostate’s best buddy. This low cal, cholesterol-free food is also anti-inflammatory, easing creaky arthritic joints. Also, its high water content makes it a good food for weight loss and maintaining healthy weight. Every morsel of the luscious vegetable is useable and edible — even the rind, which can be pickled with lemon, honey and ginger for a scrumptious confection — and the seeds, which, like pumpkin seeds, can be roasted and seasoned for munching.

How to pick a winner Whether you choose pink, orange, white or yellowfleshed watermelons, seedless or seedy, large oblong picnic variety (15- to 50-pounders), or more manageable personal or icebox melons (3- to 15pounders), here are some tips for picking a juicy, ripe one bursting with flavor: n Look for firm, bright skin, free of cuts and soft spots, along with symmetry without distorted ends. A yellow belly spot indicates it ripened in the sun and wasn’t picked prematurely. n Lift the melon for good heft. n Tap on the melon with the heel of your hand. If it resonates like a drum, it’s ripe and ready.

In a bowl, gently toss watermelon with remaining topping ingredients. Cover and chill for one hour.

n The Topping: • 2 cups watermelon wedges • 1/2 cup chopped, ripe tomatoes (Roma or cherry) • 1/2 cup nectarines, diced, unpeeled • Juice from one lemon • 1/2 red onion, diced • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar • 1 fistful fresh basil, chopped • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil • Salt and cayenne pepper to taste

In a small bowl, combine butter, oil, salt and cayenne. Line bread rounds on cookie sheet and brush liberally on both sides with the mixture. Bake until golden. Arrange the toasted bread on a serving platter, and top with the chilled watermelon mixture.

A slice of life n The largest watermelon on record, a behemoth weighing in at 279 pounds, was grown in North Carolina. n There are some 1,200 varieties of watermelons. n A seedless watermelon was created in 1939 when horticulturalists treated the unpollinated flowers with a particular acid. n Japanese farmers have created a cubeshaped watermelon by placing in a squaretempered glass box while it is still growing on the vine. The shape and dimensions fit ideally in Japanese refrigerators, where space is a premium.

Serve it up This summer go a little wacky with watermelons, whipping up refreshing summer sips: minty watermelon margaritas, sangrias, frozen lemonades or agua frescas (Mexico’s thirst-quenching watermelon, limejuice, sugar and H2O concoction). Or you can try a few zippy appetizers like grilled watermelon rounds with herb goat cheese, watermelon prosciutto wraps. In the salad department, there’s an

intoxicating salad (drunken watermelon with vodka and blackberry liqueur marinade), a southwest riff with pickled watermelon rind, cilantro, lime zest, jalapenos and crumbled Cotija cheese or Italian blending watermelon with fresh mozzarella balls and basil. To be served alongside grilled firm fish or deep-sea scallops are assorted relishes and salsas with combinations of nectarines, plums, grapes, chilies and citrus juices. Ever consider chilled soups with watermelon and heirloom tomato gazpacho, or Greek yoghurt and watermelon? For the main event, there’s beef, organic chicken breasts or wild caught shrimp stirfries with crispy watermelon sticks. And for dessert, sorbets, watermelon cubes drizzled with melted dark chocolate or frozen watermelon pops coated with coarse salt blends, clover honey and Meyer lemon juice or a splash of your favorite liqueur). The watermelon can also be carved into a basket with the shell used as a tureen for fruit salad, chilled soup or punch. — For additional watermelon recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
