LJVMA uses money to beautify and promote the Village from an annual fee on merchants in La Jolla’s business improvement district (BID), which includes businesses between the coast and Pearl Street/Torrey Pines Road. Susan DeMaggio

By Pat Sherman Call it a case of commercial déjà vu. Nearly 25 years after a group of La Jolla merchants got together to form La Jolla’s business improvement district (BID) — creating an annually assessed fee on businesses within a 25-square-block area of the Village that is used to woo shoppers to downtown La Jolla — retailers, hoteliers and restaurateurs still grapple with the same issues. A Los Angeles Times article from May 1990 reported how “spiraling rents and competition from new suburban shopping malls” placed Village merchants in the “uncharacteristic position of having to aggressively market themselves in order to stay in business.” The success of La Jolla’s BID group ebbed and flowed during its nearly two decades as “Promote La Jolla,” until the organization disbanded in 2009, following an investigation by the city attorney’s office into comingling of funds.

Cluster Partnership Approved

La Jolla public schools gain some district independence Cluster Statement

On the Web

La Jolla Cluster Partnership Agreement gets unanimous vote

■ For updates and contact information: lajollacluster.com

■ To read the final agreement: http://bit.ly/clusteragreement By Maureen Magee Special to La Jolla Light

a Jolla schools have gained flexibility from the San Diego Unified School District under an unusual arrangement approved by SDUSD trustees on July 29 that could lead to changes in hiring, student selection and academics at the elite cluster of campuses. The collaboration gives school governance teams from La Jolla’s five public schools the ability to make changes to everything from curriculum and classroom reading assignments to staffing configuration and teaching training. Under the initiative, any changes proposed by the schools would be put in writing to a district official to be approved or rejected within 10 business days. Three years in the making, the agreement could allow clusters to fill positions at schools from among all qualified applicants instead of through

Students in La Jolla will begin their 2014-2015 school year, Tuesday, Sept. 2, when Summer Vacation ends. Their last day in this school year will be Monday, June 15, 2015 for a total of 180 instruction days. Susan DeMaggio the traditional “post and bid” process that limits selections to candidates who are the top five most-senior applicants. The teachers union has yet to sign off on the deal. It would represent a major change to union-based hiring protocols. The plan also includes a pilot program that could give priority to La Jolla school employees’ children, allowing them to attend one of the schools if room is available. Some complained that such a selective school-choice policy would be

unfair to other families attempting to attend the top-ranked schools — La Jolla High, Muirlands Middle and Bird Rock, La Jolla and Torrey Pines elementary schools. District officials said other clusters of schools have the ability to propose similar agreements. Several years ago, La Jolla High School won some academic autonomy from San Diego Unified’s policies under then-Superintendent Alan Bersin after threatening to convert to an independent charter. u

t is with great happiness that we announce the San Diego Unified Board of Education unanimously approved the La Jolla Cluster Partnership agreement. A huge thank you to Fran Shimp, Julie Latta, Donna Tripi and Rob Tindall for their tireless hard work these last three years. Even with last-minute revisions, they persisted and made this happen for our whole cluster. The unanimous vote was a great validation of all their hard work. Thank you to Fran Shimp, Julie Latta and Kerry Dill for their eloquent presentations during public comments. Thank you to all our cluster members who came to show their support. Considering the short notice about the agreement coming before the board, it was heart warming to see many parents, as well as teachers from Muirlands Middle School and La Jolla High, attend the meeting. And a special thank you to all who spent time in partnership meetings, taking surveys and letting your voice be heard. It was gratifying to hear our superintendent and school board members praise the inclusive process. What we have created can truly be called “Community Based Education Reform.” We look forward to being partners with the district in the future using a new level of mutual respect and transparency. u The Board of LJCA

From Village Merchants, A1

Vacant storefronts along Prospect Street are frustrating for the remaining merchants.

What is a BID and what does it do? Denny Knox, executive director of Ocean Beach MainStreet (which oversees both the beach community’s BID and maintenance assessment district (MAD), said BIDS can be an invaluable tool for a commercial zone. “They’re very, very beneficial if they’re run properly,” Knox said. “I think communities are at a disadvantage if they don’t have something like a BID or a MainStreet (association).” Last month, a San Diego Superior Court judge denied local attorney Cory Briggs’ motion seeking to prohibit the city from disbursing more than $1 million in assessments to the city’s BID groups (including the LJVMA), which they use for neighborhood events, beautification projects and promotions. Although Briggs’ suit contended that BID assessments are an illegal tax, City Attorney Jan Goldsmith noted that BIDs are authorized by state law and exist throughout the

larger anchor tenants back to the Village that were once prominent, such as department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and the now defunct retailer I. Magnin & Co. “I honestly thought I could hit the ground running faster with my background,” said Marengo last month, during an interview with La Jolla Light at the LJVMA’s rented office space on Roslyn Lane. “It’s not (going) as fast as I thought, but I think I can still do it,” he said, noting that it takes land for a large anchor tenant, which he could envision on upper Girard Avenue

(South of Pearl Street), where a block of buildings recently sold. “They’re all together, so that could be an anchor,” he said. LJVMA’s fulltime executive director, Sheila Fortune, said the group’s modest achievements during its first four years are “not from a lack of imagination, forecasting, ideas or understanding. “We need a strong board and people to support it,” Fortune maintained. “In the next year and a half this Village is going to be totally different. We’re going to have

Formed in 2010, La Jolla’s successor BID group, the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA), is poised to build on the momentum of several key revitalization projects underway in the Village, including an upscale remodel of the former Jack’s nightclub complex as a boutique shopping mall (La Plaza La Jolla) and the planned development of a mini cultural district on Fay Avenue to include a seven-screen, dine-in cinema and 500-seat performing arts center. The LJVMA will elect as many as 10 new board members to its 15-member, allvolunteer board of directors during its October meeting — a near complete change of the guard that could help usher in a economic renaissance in the Village. The second-largest of San Diego’s 18 notfor-profit BID groups (Pacific Beach is the largest), the LJVMA’s leadership proposed some grand, ambitious plans during its first four years, including: Haute La Jolla Nights music and shopping events; a remodel of Village sidewalks; stewardship of the longdelayed Belvedere Promenade project at Prospect Street and Girard Avenue; a maintenance plan for common areas in the Village; and its La Jolla Village Information Center at 1162 Prospect St. (the majority of which the LJVMA now sublets to cover rent). Much of those plans have not come to fruition or have only been partially realized. LJVMA board President Claude-Anthony Marengo (a partner in Marengo Morton Architects) said one of his goals when he took the reins last fall was to try and lure

opportunities from deeper pockets to advertise La Jolla. If we don’t get ahold of that opportunity now to campaign and feed off, it’s going to be such an opportunity missed.” Marengo and Fortune both noted difficulty engaging assessed BID members in the LJVMA’s efforts, and getting their buy-in and participation in everything from sprucing up storefronts to participating in merchant events such as Haute La Jolla Nights. “There’s a lot of education that still needs to take place,” Marengo said. “They don’t show up to (our monthly) meetings, as you know.”

Following the ruling, Goldsmith touted monthly “festivals and neighborhood touches” provided by the BID group in Little Italy, where he resides. Arguably the most successful of San Diego’s BIDs, with the largest income, Little Italy’s BID employs its own PR firm, which helped place Little Italy on Forbes magazine’s top 10 “Best Neighborhoods for Millennials” list.

Christopher Gomez is district manager for the Little Italy Association of San Diego BID and president of the San Diego BID Council, which provides guidance, Brown Act training and other educational services to San Diego’s BID groups. Unlike the LJVMA, which, following the demise of Promote La Jolla, relinquished organizational control of several major money-making events in La Jolla (such as the Concours d’Elegance auto show, now under the auspices of the La Jolla Historical Society), Gomez said the majority of San Diego’s BID groups hold regular events that draw people to their area and promote the business district. Larger events raise needed discretionary funding for projects not covered by the annual BID assessment. (For fiscal year 2014-2015, the LJVMA will receive about $150,000 in BID assessments, although its projected expenses are $530,000 — a difference it plans to raise through the creation of several new events, grant money, subleasing its information center and other efforts). Jimmy Parker, executive director of the Gaslamp Quarter Association BID group said his organization holds a variety of both “friend-raising” and fundraising events each year, including a 5K “Dash and Dine,” an outdoor auto show, holiday pet parade, golf tournament and awards banquet. Formed in 1997, the Little Italy Association hosts an event nearly every month, including its Festa! Italian festival and three others in October, Gomez said.

Toni Atkins Stops By

Assembly Speaker hears from constituents at La Jolla Library By Pat Sherman andwiched between Toni Atkins’ 52nd birthday and her stint as acting governor — a rare occurrence for a State Assembly speaker that landed her a Skype appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” — La Jolla’s legislative representative took time to meet with constituents at La Jolla Library, listening to concerns ranging from homelessness and drought conditions to teen mothers receiving public aid. Representing La Jolla Parks and Beaches (LJP&B) community advisory group, Patrick Ahern and Rebecca Morales touted the Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement Project, which would restore the coastal trail at Whale View Point, including the addition of drought-tolerant landscaping. LJP&B is seeking funds for restoration of the rugged, treacherous pathway, which they hope to have recognized as an official part of the California Coastal Trail — which would connect the entire 1,200-mile stretch of California Coastine, from Mexico to Oregon. Atkins noted that more than $5.3 billion in Prop. 84 funding (including money for coastal resources protection) has all but dried up, suggesting LJP&B instead seek funding from the California Coastal Conservancy, a state agency established in 1976 to enhance coastal resources and access. Atkins asked that Ahern and Morales send

don’t understand the disconnect.” Atkins noted that in San Diego water use has actually decreased 27 percent since 2007, while the region gained 600,000 people due to a combined effort of local cities and the San Diego County Water Authority. Atkins told Vining that San Diego-based Rain Bird Corporation has created irrigation “that sort of gauges how much water you (use) based on real need, as opposed to … blanket watering you see in the parks and golf courses and cemeteries.

“It’s a real infrastructure investment that cities and communities would have to make to upgrade all of their irrigation systems. … Municipalities and large organizations have a harder time catching up … but the technology does exist,” she said. “There have been rules passed at the state and it’s trickling down to jurisdictions to actually force people to quit using as much water, and that there will be penalties and fines.” Adrienne Samuels of Solana Beach dropped by to express her concern that food

Atkins told her, “I think what resonates with assembly members and … with me, is the competitive disadvantage for California, because (GMO labeling) is not federally (regulated). It’s done state-by-state. We have a huge agriculture industry; we have a huge biotech industry — and they all come with science. … There’s been some push that we’d like something from the federal government and the FDA so that it’s uniform, not just state-by-state.” Atkins said legislators take into account the source of studies and research reports. “Were they paid for by an industry, or was it a study out of one of the colleges or universities? … (Legislators) weigh all of

those things,” she said. Mark Quintana with the nonprofit So Others May Eat, which provides free hot meals to homeless people the second Tuesday of each month at Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church, told Atkins about founder Tresha Souza’s plan to open a privately-funded homeless shelter serving San Diego’s beach communities, that would be funded by a series of recycling centers the agency operates. It would offer shelter, drug counseling, haircuts and job assistance. Quintana said Souza received a letter from the city attorney’s office stating that Souza’s recycling centers had 89 nuisance violations and that the city was intending to shut them down. Quintana said they checked police records and found that the violations occurred on days when the centers were closed. Although Atkins was not prepared to address the city attorney’s claims, she said there is no way Souza can go around the city, suggesting that she try and partner with an developer experienced in affordable housing. “They know how to get the money to do it,” Atkins said. “There are dollars available. We just put $100 million into the state budget for permanent supportive housing and for Housing First (programs).” Atkins suggested Quintana and Souza talk to the councilmember in the area they’re seeking to place the shelter (perhaps the area beneath the nexus of I-5 and I-8, Quintana said). “They’re doing a lot downtown trying to reduce homelessness … but they want to look at the beach area … and those are never easy because communities don’t always support having the facility in their neighborhoods,” she said. u

City asks townhouse builder to remove trench-plate hazard on Torrey Pines Road By Pat Sherman Responding to concerns from neighbors of the Del Charro Woods condo complex, the City of San Diego is asking builder Lennar Homes to remove metal trench plates it installed in the roadway at 2402 Torrey Pines Road, by the Ziani townhouse complex it is developing. Though Lennar has not responded to inquiries from La Jolla Light, a San Diego Gas & Electric spokesperson said crews were trenching the street to connect Ziani’s gas lines to an SDG&E main beneath the street. However, SDG&E said it will not connect the lines because the developer hasn’t yet provided a map of their completed project informing SDG&E of the location of all gas lines for “safety and reliability.” Residents are angered by loud noise and

vibration from trucks driving over the plates, which they say led to a motorcycle accident and pose other safety hazards. In an e-mail to one of the irritated residents, city engineer Sergio Iniguez said he contacted Lennar and “reminded them that they cannot leave unattended steel plates along the street for seven or more days (and) should complete the gas connection and the trench restoration ASAP. “In the meantime, they were directed to secure the steel plates and restore the coldmix patching to avoid any tripping hazard,” he said. A later e-mail from Iniguez said Lennar “indicated that have been pushing SDG&E really hard to make their gas connection, and it has finally been released to the installation department for scheduling the connection,” though added, “they have not yet given us a date for the connection.” u

Rescued Cove seal pup on the mend at SeaWorld

ith the help of local lifeguards, the SeaWorld San Diego Rescue Team came to the aid of a northern elephant seal at La Jolla Cove the morning of July 31. Beachgoers watched as the lethargic, malnourished and slightly dehydrated seal was transported to SeaWorld’s

Animal Rescue Center. The male seal arrived at the marine park’s new critical care unit weighing just 133 pounds. Animal rescuers tubefed the pup and gave it rehydration fluids during intake. They anticipate the return of the seal to the ocean with a clean bill of health in six to eight weeks.

Woman accused of embezzlement, convicted on eight felony counts

So far this year, the SeaWorld team has rescued more than 185 ill, injured and stranded marine mammals (including sea lions, seals, whales and dolphins), giving them a second chance at life. Nearly 70 percent of the mammals rescued by the park are returned to the wild. u

Board undecided about stop sign at Fay/West Muirlands La Jolla Traffic and Transportation

By Ashley Mackin At the La Jolla Traffic and Transportation (T&T) advisory board meeting July 24, a proposed four-way stop sign on Fay Avenue and West Muirlands Drive came up for vote, as did an extension on Eddie V’s valet parking application, along with requests for street closures for upcoming events. The stop sign request was first discussed at the T&T meeting in January, but there was not enough information for the board to vote on it at that time. At the July meeting, residents supporting the request spoke in defense, citing their reasons. “We have a lot of issues with safety there. There have been multiple accidents and near misses. I have to walk across that street daily and it’s taking your life into your own hands,” said Julie Swain, who lives near the intersection. Swain said she has observed parents using West Muirlands Drive as a feeder street to La Jolla High School, who drop off their children on the corner. She said the students then run across the street to get to school. Swain said La Jolla High School has not

She first distributed images of the new awning, with a clear “Public Valet” message, prompting T&T member John Kassar to say the new signage looks “so much better.” Marengo also said she pulled the applicable rules from the city municipal code and compiled a document that Eddie V’s valet parkers had to sign, so they could no longer claim they did not know the city’s valet parking rules. Having met the terms, the measure was approved.

San Diego Whale Watch guests go out to sea aboard the Privateer with a guarantee to see whales or dolphins, otherwise another excursion is free.

See largest animals on Earth with San Diego Whale Watch By Marti Gacioch Blue whales, the biggest animals on the planet, can be observed (and photographed) just 12 miles off San Diego’s shore and San Diego Whale Watch can take you to see them. Chris Sweitzer of La Jolla said he started the whale excursions 10 years ago when he realized there are whales to see in San Diego year-round, but no boat excursions to take people out to spot them. Blue whales are bluish-gray and here in the summer, while gray whales can be seen in the winter. Prior to San Diego Whale Watch opening,

the only boat excursions in town were in the winter to see the gray whales. Sweitzer and his partner, Mark Gillette, changed that quickly by buying an excursion boat (the Privateer) capable of accommodating 149 people. With an experienced crew of seven, they venture out twice daily, noting their business has steadily grown since it opened. “We take people out seven days a week (including holidays) at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., and a marine biologist narrates the excursion, making it a fun, informative educational experience for all ages,” Sweitzer

said. “Sometimes we see up to 30 whales on an excursion, and our trips come with a guarantee: if you don’t see whales or dolphins, you can return for another excursion — free of charge.” A sunset trip is also offered Saturday and Sunday nights to see beautiful San Diego sunsets and a nighttime skyline of stars. The Privateer leaves from Mission Bay Seaport Sport, 1717 Quivira Road, and excursions last three hours. Snacks and refreshments are sold on board. “People are generally very comfortable

(during our voyages) but some do get seasick,” Sweitzer said. “We take passengers ages 2 and up to see the whales; temperatures are warm, but drop about 10 degrees, once we leave the shore.” u n San Diego Whale Watch can be reached at (619) 839-0128, sdwhalewatch.com and see San Diego Whale Watch’s coupon in La Jolla Light.

July was a busy month for La Jolla Rotarians GUEST COMMENTARY By Sally Fuller Rotary Club of La Jolla

ongtime Burns Drugs employee Liz Rogers was honored as an Outstanding Employee by the Rotary Club of La Jolla during its July 15 meeting. At the same time, Wayne Woods, who owned Burns Drugs until it closed earlier this year, received a Community Service Achievement Award from the club. The award was a surprise for Woods, who nominated Rogers for her award and attended to present her with it. Rotarian and former Burns coowner Orrin Gabsch presented Woods with his award. A former Rotary Club member, Woods donated generously to local charities and participated in numerous community service projects during his time at Burns. In addition, Russell King was installed as Rotary Club of La Jolla’s new president. The club also welcomed 12 new members, including: Will Creekmur, Ina von Ber, Mark Dibella, Jonathan Moffat, Chuck and Karla Marsh, Sue Ball, Sandra Benton, Diane

Salisbury, Irma Gigli, Claude Rosinsky and Gabriela Musgrave. Rotary Club of La Jolla sponsors Interact Clubs at La Jolla High School and the Bishop’s School, with whom they have built 20 homes for needy families in Tijuana. On July 19, Rotarians held a graduation ceremony in Tijuana for the students in its TJ Scholars Lab. Now in its 15th year, led by David Shaw and Marc Lanci, the lab mentors 24 teens in grades 6-12 each Saturday. The graduates continue on to college. On July 20, Rotarians hosted their bi-annual party for La Jolla League House residents with the theme “Cruising the Seven Seas Aboard USS League House.” All participants had a memorable cruise. On Aug. 1, in connection with the Bird Rock Artist Guild, the club hosted a “Summer Candlelight Labyrinth” at Law Street Beach to benefit Rotary’s Tijuana homebuild program, and the King’s Children’s Home orphanage for abused children in Belize.

Search still on for missing dog, Charlie

n Dan Daneri, City of San Diego District Manager Park & Recreation 202 C St., MS 39 San Diego, CA 92101 Sue Bridge La Jolla

Who remembers city cleaning Children’s beach? This is a letter to all longtime La Jollans, those who grew up here. I’m hoping to find people who would write a letter stating they saw or remembered the days when the city cleaned the kelp/seaweed off the beach at Children’s Pool. I’m trying to get all the seaweed that is there right now hauled away, and I’m being told by the city that they have never cleaned seaweed off the beach at the Children’s Pool, but if I can get letters saying they have, they will again. So anyone who knows, please e-mail me at mbeherenow@sbcglobal.net Together, we can get something cleaned up in La Jolla! Thank you so much for your help! Melinda Merryweather La Jolla

Our family would like to thank the “community” of La Jolla for its help and support in our search for our lost dog “Charlie.” Charlie was home alone on Sunday morning, July 27 when the unexpected thunder and lightning caused him to “bolt” and force his way outside in sheer panic in the Muirlands. He has not been seen since that day despite his collar, tags and microchip, visits to shelters, vets and animal control. Charlie is a 48-pound, neutered, male 10-yearold black lab “mix” who is skittish but never aggressive. He is black with white markings on his chest, droopy ears and a grey muzzle. He may be trapped in a canyon or yard. If you happen to hear him, see him or saw him in the past week, please let us know. Also special thanks to the staff at Windansea Vet Clinic and the many shop-owners, mail carriers, utility crews and others who have posted signs and notices on the Internet. We appreciate everyone’s patience

In a newly deranged drive to close the Children’s Pool, I believe the city of San Diego is allowing the formation of an infectious cesspool on that beach. Not only does the city insist on leaving dead kelp (seaweed, “wrack”) untouched, it refuses any type of beach cleaning and forbids volunteers to remove seal excrement and trash. Accumulations of dead kelp harbors animal wastes, draws flies, fleas and other insects to form a hotbed of infection and fouls the air. As the reason for its hands-off approach to cleaning the beach, the city references a letter received from the California Coastal Commission in 2012 which states “the removal of beach wrack undertaken as part of beach maintenance/grooming on beaches that historically have been groomed by the city does not require a coastal development permit (CDP). However, the Children’s Pool beach is not one of the beaches historically groomed by the city, and beach grooming by public groups and/or individuals is not authorized. Therefore, beach grooming at Children’s Pool by either the city or private parties will require a CDP.” Every parent who has ever taken their children to the Children’s Pool can dispute the falsehood that this beach was never “groomed” (cleaned) by the city. In the past that beach was pristine and maintained regularly by a skip

loader that used the beach ramp built for that purpose, but is now rutted and locked. Please protect the health and safety of our community by demanding that the city and the state restore sanitation at this site. Vote against this order at your meetings and write to the two addresses here: n California Coastal Commission 7575 Metropolitan Drive, Suite 103 San Diego, CA 92108-4402

Our READERS WRITE (Continued)

Leashed-dogs law protects everybody It’s simple. The law already has worked out a compromise regarding dogs on the beach. They are allowed early in the mornings and in the evenings, but they must be leashed at all times. All times. There are very good reasons for this law, not the least of which is the fact that excited, off-leash dogs can injure and/or frighten other beachgoers. Not everyone wants a dog to walk across his or her towel. Also, to respond to the argument that dog owners are diligent and conscientious, go up to Kate Sessions or Starkey (Draper) Park and witness all the canine “calling cards.” It’s disgusting and unsanitary, and our beaches should not be turned into giant litter boxes.

Dog owners must be more responsible. The law is in place for a reason. Keep it. Bill Smith La Jolla

Glad for the story about Mr. Franklin Thank you so much for the lovely article about retired teacher Mr. Syd Franklin in the July 31 issue. He is such a treasure, and I am so grateful that he made it back to La Jolla Elementary in time for my two children to experience the best teacher they ever had.

OBITUARIES

Miriam “Mickey” Burstein 1918 – 2014

Mickey Burstein, a native New Yorker who has lived in La Jolla since 1977, died peacefully at home on July 28, 2014, after a year-long struggle with congestive heart failure. She was 96. She was a woman who loved reading, running, folk-dancing, high-impact aerobics, and people. Long-time La Jollans will remember her jogging, and later “wogging” through the Village and Bird Rock on her daily 10-mile run, stopping to talk with anyone she met enroute. She was a mainstay of the Library Book Club, often leading meetings at the library or in the rec room at 400 Prospect, the building she lived in for over 30 years. Mickey was everyone’s Jewish grandmother, a woman who listened as well as she talked. They called her “a kick,” “a pistol,” “a grand dame,” “an inspirational dynamo,” and “a role model for all of us – sharp, creative, daring and special.” At 87, wearing a racer’s

number 87, she went to lunch with her daughters and discovered her birthday surprise – a bench in her honor in front of the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory on Prospect, across from La Valencia Hotel. The plaque on the bench reads: Dedicated to the indomitable Mickey Burstein, our Red-Hot Mama. That year and the next, she was the oldest performer in “Tales from the Far Side of Fifty,” a popular stage show in which her feisty, funny stories always brought down the house. In 2008, she thoroughly enjoyed a three-day celebration of her 90th birthday that included personalized classes in calligraphy and ballroom dancing. Mickey spent almost all her La Jolla years with her long-time partner, Hank Kaban, who died in 2012. But the love of her life was her husband, Ed Burstein, whom she met as a teenager and lost 50 years ago. It was with him, on a cross-country trip in 1957, that she first discovered La Jolla, which she loved ever since. This last year was difficult for her, as she lost her sight and mobility, and stayed mostly in her apartment, listening to NPR and Books on Tape, welcoming friends of all ages who dropped by when they could. She leaves many admirers behind her, not least of all her daughters, Lonnie Hewitt and Pat Launer, both Del Mar residents, who were with her at the

end. She is also survived by her middle daughter, Judith Fein of Santa Fe, and numerous surrogate children and grandchildren around the country. A small gathering paid tribute to her at her graveside in El Camino Memorial Park on July 31, 2014. All those who knew her are invited to stop by her bench and sit for awhile, remembering Mickey, who was truly one of a kind. To honor her love of books, donations in her name can be made to Friends of the La Jolla Branch Library, 7555 Draper Ave., La Jolla, CA 92037.

Wafa George Assaf 1937 – 2014

Wafa Assaf passed away on August 2, 2014, at his home in La Jolla. He was born June 12, 1937, in Beirut, Lebanon, and attended local schools and the American University of Beirut. Growing up on the shores of the Mediterranean, he was an accomplished track and field athlete, swimmer and lifeguard at AUB. He started his banking career in 1960, joining Bank of Beirut & Arab Countries. In the early 1970s, he joined Chemical Bank of New York when it expanded operations into Lebanon for the first time.

Here’s another vote to expand Medicare As a senior citizen and activist promoting Healthcare for All, I know all too well that patients face financial barriers to care — even with insurance. The United States is the only nation where a citizen can go bankrupt from a medical catastrophe or one critical illness. Patients need a system that puts them before the profits made by the insurance and drug

Wafa met his wife, Nancy Corbin, when she joined the library staff at the American University of Beirut in 1968. They were married in April 1969. His sons, Kamal and William, were born in Beirut, and the family relocated to La Jolla in November 1975 due to the expanding civil war. He soon joined Bank of America, first in its International Banking Office, later serving as Branch Manager of the 5th & Market, Hillcrest, and Point Loma branches before retiring in 1992. His sense of humor, boundless energy and generosity will be most remembered by many La Jollans. He excelled at cooking Middle Eastern food, a skill he taught himself, and shared food often with neighbors and friends. Wafa loved sharing the Lebanese culture with others. He was a devoted family man, attending his sons’ sporting events faithfully at The Bishop’s School and Whittier College and La Jolla High School, where his son, Kamal, coached basketball. Wafa participated in the annual Rough Water Swim for many years, and he enjoyed robust health and exercise. His proudest accomplishment was establishing his legacy of love within his family.

From Village Merchants, A5 Pacific Beach’s BID group (Discover Pacific Beach) and the Little Italy Association both hold weekly farmers markets. During its most recent fiscal year, Little Italy’s Mercado (farmers market) raised $482,000 for the association (its BID assessment only contributes about $120,000 to its budget). BID organizations in Little Italy, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach and the Gaslamp Quarter all perform some form of street maintenance, including trash collection, weed and graffiti abatement, and powerwashing of sidewalks — something Promote La Jolla once did and which the LJVMA and the private, nonprofit La Jolla Community Foundation have both sought to reestablish in some capacity (as both a joint effort and separately). Although La Jolla’s BID is larger in size and assessed members than BIDs in the Gaslamp, Ocean Beach or Little Italy, like Pacific Beach, La Jolla lacks extra income generated by a MAD or PBID, which assess property owners, in lieu of business owners, almost exclusively for common-area maintenance. In the last year, the Little Italy Association took in $696,000 in MAD fees, which it used to employ a staff of 18 to power-wash sidewalks, empty trash cans, remove graffiti, do landscaping and water trees and hanging baskets (the LJVMA has allocated $15,000 for landscaping in its current fiscal year, and another $10,000 for sidewalk improvements). The Little Italy Association also collected $318,000 from its parking meters last year (it receives 45 cents on the dollar from the group that manages the meters).

Business Improvement District (BID) Facts ■ How a BID is formed: Per San Diego City Council Policy 900-07, after submitting a petition signed by 20 percent of eligible businesses — those possessing a current business tax certificate (license) in the proposed BID area — city staff will mail a ballot to all the eligible businesses. If the majority responding (in numbers and proposed assessment value) favor BID formation, the city council may proceed with a public hearing. If a majority to not oppose the BID, the city council may adopt an ordinance establishing the district. ■ How a BID is dissolved: Follows similar public process: 50 percent of eligible businesses by assessed value must support disestablishment. The city council may also dissolve a BID per a resolution of four-fifths of the BID’s board of directors. The council will only consider a request to dissolve a BID once every three years. ■ How city assures merchants pay their BID assessment: City Treasurer uses data provided by the Franchise Tax Board, State Board of Equalization, fictitious business names, inter-governmental referrals and citizen reports/complaints. According to the city’s Economic It plans to use that money to reconfigure its street parking to add 80-130 parking spaces in the coming year, and to fund the addition of several “parklets,” mini-parks extending beyond the curb into converted street parking spaces. Although parking meters would provide additional revenue to solve La Jolla’s parking quandary — another identified business deterrent — the discussion of eliminating free street parking in La Jolla has been a source of extreme contention and polarization. Fortune said LJVMA’s founding board president, Phil Coller, researched forming a

Development department, a significant increase in compliance began in 2008 with the passage of Assembly Bill 63, which allowed the Franchise Tax Board to share information with municipalities. Over 31,000 businesses have been brought into compliance since 2008. ■ Failure to pay? The City Treasurer may collect delinquent BID assessments by intercepting state income tax refunds and lottery winnings, assessing penalties and daily interest, and initiating credit reporting and litigation. A list of non-compliant businesses was recently provided to the city by the La Jolla Village Merchants Association, which included approximately 100 accounts. An additional list of real estate agents operating in the La Jolla area was also provided, which included 500 potentially non-compliant individuals. The city is reviewing the data to ensure that the businesses become compliant with local taxation requirements and pay BID assessments. ■ Excluded from assessment: Most home-based businesses. Source: David Graham, City of San Diego Economic Development Department

MAD or PBID in 2010 and learned it would have cost the nascent organization more than $80,000 to obtain approval from businesses that would be assessed, and other costs associated with its formation. “At the time, LJVMA was not in a position to start this uphill challenge,” which would have taken more than two years to complete, Fortune said, noting attorney Briggs’ defeated challenge of MAD assessments earlier this year, which is on appeal. “So many communities don’t want the hassle and are looking into creating private organizations,” Fortune said. “(Our) board has not recently revisited this discussion or made decisions on these programs.” Nevertheless, Marengo said he will pursue plans to purchase a vehicle and tools to clean up the Village, employing a full-time employee to oversee five to six volunteers. However, he said this likely won’t include power-washing due to environmental considerations and the cost of hiring a company to do it (about $100,000 Fortune said). Ocean Beach MainStreet uses part of its $53,000 annual MAD money to steam-clean its sidewalks using a water reclamation system, though Knox said it has “not been the easiest” due to “a lot of restrictions and rules that you have to be on top of to do things anymore.” Until it can locate money for a vehicle, the LJVMA may begin its cleanup effort on a smaller scale, with a bicycle-drawn cart, Marengo said.

He said he hopes the effort will encourage merchants to take more ownership and pride in their spaces, and join the effort. “Again, it’s educating,” Marengo said. “If someone sees you painting a fence, maybe they’ll join in. … “We should be doing some of this stuff; we’re just underfunded and we’re trying to figure out a way to do it. If I can create some excitement with that presence, so that someone knows that the money is going somewhere positive, hopefully that will stimulate some more activity.” Although MAD and PBID funds are typically used to cover such expenses, David Graham with the city’s Economic Development department (which oversees the BIDs) said LJVMA should be able to use BID funds for common area maintenance. In the meantime, LJVMA is hoping to relaunch its Haute La Jolla Nights for the fall and winter, and introduce several new events, including a fundraising merchant member golf tourney (tentatively set for May at Torrey Pines); pet parade and holiday “Festival of Trees.” The LJVMA is also gearing up to take over production of La Jolla’s annual fireworks show at the Cove, expanding it to a weekend celebration with related events, such as band performances and a merchant grilling competition. u n For coverage of the LJVMA’s Aug. 6 meeting, pick up a copy of La Jolla Light’s Aug. 21 edition.

Inventors need to improve leaf blowers After reading Clem Hoffman’s letter concerning his contact with Councilmember Sherri Lightner’s office over the increased leaf blower menace in La Jolla, I have come to the conclusion that someone has to come up with a device that both mutes the sound and stops the fumes. There must be someone out there who can come up with an invention that can stop this problem.

Looking forward to December’s La Jolla Christmas Parade Regarding the article “Merchants Request Neutral Name for Christmas Parade” of July 17: Jolly Jewel Parade? La Joy-a in La Jolla? What’s in a name? Howard Singer states the organization San Diego County Diversity and Inclusiveness Group’s (DIG) mission is “solely to remove

the word ‘Christmas’ from the name of La Jolla’s December parade.” And yet he goes on to say “.... Christmas trees, angels, Santa Claus and nativity scenes could still be a part of group (parade) displays.” I repeat: What’s in a name? I’ve been a La Jolla resident since 1970 and have always been under the impression that the La Jolla Christmas Parade was part of the season’s celebration. Granted, La Jolla is a far more multiracial, multicultural mix than it was back then, so if others wish to organize a Chanukah parade to celebrate that holiday, or a Muslim march to celebrate the end of the fast of Ramadan, or even a Winter Solstice parade to usher in the start of winter, I would be all for it. But please, let’s keep Christmas in the La Jolla Christmas Parade. What ever happened to “the majority rules?” Barbara Jefferson La Jolla

Community rallies for a good cause Harcourts Prestige Properties at 7938 Ivanhoe Ave. hosted a fundraising event July 24 for A Bridge for Kids, a La Jolla-based nonprofit founded and operated by La Jollans Michael and Tammy Nance. A Bridge for Kids pairs teens in need of funds to move ahead in life with people of means to make young dreams come true.

Local residents and business members gather July 24 at Harcourts Prestige Properties on Ivanhoe Avenue to help raise funds for A Bridge for Kids. Courtesy Businesses that contributed to the auction and cocktail event included Bank of America-La Jolla, Merrill Lynch-La Jolla, and Chicago Escrow-La Jolla. We also had support from our Ivanhoe neighbors Swoon (Kate Yetman), Barre 59 (Lisa Lehmkuhl) and Mary’s English Kitchen (Scott Gardner). Evolve Beauty and Wellness (Monica Siojo) and True Beauty (Jillena Greer) located on Herschel also contributed. It was truly a community effort! We raised just shy of $3,000 with help from Harcourts’ auctioneer from Australia, Ben Brady. Harcourts hosted two other events this year, raising more than $7,000

for the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, and the Challenged Athletes Foundation. Thank you to all who helped. u Tiffany Torgan Philips Owner/Broker Harcourts Prestige Properties

La Jolla native has blog, book to share her love of cooking By Ashley Mackin a Jolla native Kelly Senyei is all about sharing the love. More specifically, her love and knowledge of cooking. Her blog, Just A Taste, started as a way for her to share the recipes her mother — Noni Senyei of La Jolla — taught her. “My mom is an unbelievable cook and every night I would come home and there would be some different dish on the table and when we were home, she always encouraged my brother, sister and I to be in the kitchen with her,” she said (lucky for her dad, Drew Senyei). When Kelly was in school at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York, she used cooking as a way to decompress at the end of the day. “People would ask me for my recipes, which I would e-mail out to them, and I decided to put the recipes online to make it easy for people to access them directly,” she said. So she started Just A Taste in 2008 and in addition to her mother’s recipes, she would create her own, and post them to the site, along with videos and photos. “Every post I have has photos that illustrate steps along the way for every recipe, so people can follow along visually,” she said. “Sometimes you need a visual cue like if I say Food blogger Kelly Senyei Courtesy ‘slice into the puff pastry like this’ you can see it and understand it.” When not blogging, Kelly was still gathering knowledge about food. She worked for the Food Network, Epicurious.com and GourmetLive.com (the online version of Gourmet Magazine). After journalism school, Kelly went to culinary school, learning more still. “I knew if I wanted to (write about food) professionally I needed to have culinary training and background to support everything I was writing about and making,” she said, encouraging people to take advantage of her education.

Let Inga Tell You

Slather me up

La Jolla Cultural Partners

verybody has a fantasy about what they’d do if they won the lottery. I’ve always been clear about mine: hire a live-in masseuse. I’d get a minimum of two massages a day of about four hours each. In fact, some days I wouldn’t even get off the table, especially if I could figure out a way to simultaneously get a straw into a glass of chardonnay. People have very mixed feelings about massage. Some are totally creeped-out by being rubbed with scented oil by total strangers. This is clearly a birth defect and I feel totally sorry for them. I have other friends who, like me, absolutely love massage. My preferred masseur, of course, is Olof, who generously rubs my back if we’re watching TV together, racking up husband points like you wouldn’t believe. He insists he needs them in case of a sudden husband point conflagration, which has occurred from time to time, especially when long-awaited plans were cancelled due to business travel. But he’s retired now so it shouldn’t be too

hard to maintain a positive balance. Not surprisingly, my favorite massagee is Olof. Not a fan of “stranger” massage, he is only too happy to have a can of whipped cream slathered over — er, too much information. Anyway, as a single working parent for 12 years, I was financially ineligible for massage unless someone gifted me one. So I’m trying to make up for lost time. My only hesitation at all about massage is that I feel a little bad that the masseuse is getting stuck with my aged chubby body. Was I the fantasy she had when she went to massage school? I think not. Of course, we aged chubby people are often the folks with money for massages, which I’m sure doesn’t keep massage people from hoping for some firmer flesh to manipulate. Several years ago I went into a spa to get a massage gift certificate for my very athletic younger son. He’d been there before. The massage girl’s face lit up like a Christmas tree when I mentioned his name. I can assure you that

foot so that pressing on certain areas can help diagnose problems elsewhere in the body. Of those 7,000 nerve endings, 6,000 of mine seem to be perennially annoyed. The foot masseur pressed on one place that was excruciating painful. I flinched. “Hurt there, kidney no good,” he said. No good? Maybe they were just having a bad day? I mean, we’re talking kidneys here. Noting a really sore spot during a foot massage at another place last year, I asked, “what organ is that?” The masseuse said “sinuses.” Geesh, that’s probably one of the three organs in my whole body that has consistently behaved! So as a diagnostic tool, it may not work that well for me. I’m thinking that in my case, maybe the pain in my feet might mean “need new shoes” or “lose weight, Lumpy!” Don’t really care. It just feels heavenly. I guess if you’re going to have an addiction, massage isn’t the worse one you can have. But I really have to start buying lottery tickets. u

nobody’s face lights up when they hear my name, except possibly to recall that I tip well. Considering my body, maybe it’s not well enough. My extreme fondness for massage has made my husband wonder aloud if I were adopted from a sensory-deprived Romanian orphanage. As a blue-eyed blond in a family of brown-eyed brunettes, it seemed plausible. Nope, I’m just a massage junkie, plain and simple. Sometimes it’s nice to do a massage just focusing on one area. I’ve never actually taken heroin (which probably won’t surprise anyone, especially with the easy availability of chardonnay) but I think head massage must be a similar high. Those endorphins just go crazy. I’d probably have my post-lottery live-in masseuse do at least one head and one foot massage a day, too. Not too long ago, I wandered into an Asian-run massage place whose brochure advertised their treatments as “better for your organ.” I couldn’t argue with such a charming endorsement and signed up for a reflexology foot massage. All our organs are alleged to have nerve endings in the

Bijou French Bistro has been welcoming patrons since June 27 in the former Amaya La Jolla space.

Ouefs Mayonnaise, a French appetizer, is a refined rendition of deviled eggs.

Fanciful French fare finds fans in La Jolla By Kelley Carlson here’s a new culinary gem in “The Jewel.” The team behind Addison at The Grand Del Mar has conjured up a new idea for the space previously occupied by Amaya La Jolla, on Prospect Street. Bijou French Bistro — whose name means “jewel” — presents a menu with classic bistro fare that can be enjoyed in a European-influenced setting. It’s sophisticated with chandeliers, antique mirrors and delicately wrought accents amid a palette of aubergine, ochre and gold, yet manages to stay casual. Soft French melodies complement the experience. “The (new) concept fits the ambience,” Chef de Cuisine Shaun Gethin said. “We really want you to know exactly where you’re at” — which is France, he added with a smile. The dinner menu was designed by awardwinning Chef William Bradley, who is culinary director at Bijou and executive chef at Addison. At Bijou, Bradley and Gethin showcase their preferred French styles of cooking through an array of small plates, entrees and desserts that can be mixed and matched to provide a unique dining experience with each visit. One of the restaurant’s standouts among the “Petits Plats” is Ouefs Mayonnaise, a common French appetizer that’s a refined rendition of deviled eggs. In Bradley’s version (a tribute to his favorite Paris bistro, Le Comptoir du Relais), the hard-boiled eggs rest in a mustard sauce, garnished with lettuce. Additional light offerings include the Pâté de Campagne, Steak Tartare and French Onion Soup with gruyere and sherry, along

n This week’s recipe:

Bijou French Bistro’s Tarte aux Fruits with Lemon Curd with “salades” such as the Niçoise; Salmon Rillettes; and Lyonnaise with poached Windsor Farm eggs, bacon and hollandaise. For its “Plats Principaux,” Bijou presents a half-dozen selections, from the Rainbow Trout with leeks, lentils and herb pistou, to the Steak Frites and Gnocchi à la Parisienne. There’s also the rich Lobster Gratin — a bowl filled with potato purée and sauce Américaine, roasted mushrooms and tender bites of butter-poached lobster with a sprinkling of breadcrumbs on top. Several vegetarian “Accompagnements” and a choice of fine “Fromages” are available to supplement the meal. Patrons may want to ensure they still have room for a “Pâtisserie,” whether it’s Brown Butter Clafoutis, Beignets or Macarons du Jour. One dessert that seems especially suited for summer is the Tarte aux Fruits, created with velvety lemon curd and topped with fresh berries. A dollop of

Tarte aux Fruits with lemon curd, berries and a dollop of raspberry crème. raspberry crème rests on the side. As France is one of the largest wine producers in the world, Bijou includes vintages on its menu. Wine Director Elizabeth Huettinger — who holds the same position at Addison — has selected “modern” wines from France and the U.S. West Coast to suit most budgets, ranging from the crisp and clean 2011 Albert Grivault Bourgogne chardonnay to the opulent 2000 Chateau Lynch-Bages of the renowned Pauillac line. Bijou highlights five varieties each day at special prices. Other available libations include craft beers and signature cocktails such as the Champs Elysees, a European inspiration that blends cognac, green chartreuse, lemon juice simple syrup and angostura bitters. They can be enjoyed during dinner, at the wine bar or while relaxing in the Club M lounge, where there’s live music 7-11 p.m. Thursday to Saturday. u

Chilled Persian Cuke Soup

Catharine L. Kaufman

Culinary tricks for beating the summer heat

hen it’s sauna hot and sticky outside, it seems the only thing you’re inclined to make for dinner is reservations. Here are some savvy seasonal tips for keeping cool, refreshed and energized — at least until the mercury aligns with normal.

Cool as a Cucumber Chill with a heap of super hydrating fruits and veggies, especially the cool cucumber. This magnificent water reservoir, a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals dilutes the blood and releases heat. Also loaded with sulfur, the cuke helps flush out toxins via the kidneys. There’s more. Packed with balancing silica, a full complement of B vitamins to put the skids on stress, and replenishing potassium, this gourd acts like nature’s plastic surgeon, whether you place refreshing slices on your tired and puffy eyelids or eat this cooling food, your skin will be treated to an anti-aging boost. Whip up a chilled soba noodle and cucumber salad, a cucumber sushi roll, high-tea finger sandwiches with Persian cucumbers and goat cheese or munch on a crispy dill pickle.

Choose melons with high water content like honeydew, cantaloupe and the quintessential fruit of summer, the mighty watermelon, a mother lode of H2O along with tons of Vitamin C and antioxidantrich lycopene, magnesium and potassium. Try a sweet and savory watermelon Greek salad with crumbled feta and black olives tossed in a zesty vinaigrette, or make melon juice ice cubes to enliven your drinks. Zesty radishes are cooling roots endowed with potassium and other replenishing minerals to dial up digestion and diminish excess body heat. Other hydrating coolers include tomatoes, dark electrolyte-loaded leafy greens like arugula, kale and spinach, peaches, plums, juicy strawberries and citrus, especially oranges. Grapefruit, although refreshing and rife with potassium is not recommended for those on certain medications or supplements as it tinkers with the pharmacology.

Lemon Law “Cook” with lemon or other lip puckering citrus juices instead of using heat. Marinating fish or other proteins overnight in an acid mixture will denature the fibers without the need for cranking up the heat.

n Ingredients • 2 cups Greek yoghurt • 1 1/2 cups ice-cold spring water • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts or pistachios, chopped • 2 Persian cucumbers, diced • 1/2 cup sultana raisins • 1/4 cup fresh chopped mint • 1/4 cup fresh chopped chives • Meyer lemon zest • Salt and pepper to taste n Method: • In a large mixing bowl, blend yoghurt and water. Add nuts, raisins, cucumber, herbs and seasonings. Mix thoroughly. Chill well. Ladle into martini glasses or Champagne flutes and garnish with lemon zest. Try a mixed seafood ceviche cocktail blending scallops, shrimp, snapper, chopped tomatoes and avocado in an intoxicating lime marinade.

Spice It Up Eating fiery foods has been found to hike body temperatures triggering sweating, followed by a cooling down period like a human a/c system. Shred a little fresh ginger, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, a dollop of wasabi mustard or some hot chilies on everything from grilled chicken and fish to fresh fruit and dips, and perspire away.

Mint Condition Add some exhilarating minty leaves to

your meals. This herb with cooling and soothing properties and an invigorating perfume perks up heat-induced logginess. Create a minty green tea over ice with organic honey and splash of lemon. Put a dollop of mint jelly on your roasted lamb. Toss some fresh sprigs in fruit salad, or chew the leaves straight-up.

Take It with a Grain of Salt To quickly chill beer bottles and carbonated drinks, simply toss a tablespoon of salt into a small tub of icy water. This will lower the water’s freezing temperature creating an arctic bath for your brewskis. u — For additional recipes, e-mail Catharine Kaufman at kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Old Globe’s ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’ sports a new spin By Diana Saenger Shakespeare’s “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” is a comedy about love, friendship, infidelity, and in director Mark Lamos’ production, spunk. When friends Valentine (Hubert Point-Du Jour) and Proteus (Adam Kantor) set out to seek their fortunes, their quest turns into a rivalry for the Duke of Milan’s beautiful daughter Silvia (Britney Coleman). This does not set well with Julia (Kristin Villanueva), who is in love with Proteus. After some discussion about how dark Shakespeare’s original ending was (an attempted rape), Lamos and his cast at The Old Globe Theatre worked on creating their own ending with a more contemporary slant. “We sat down to talk about it,” Coleman said. “It wasn’t really the direction we wanted for our audience, so we adjusted things to keep it lighter. The characters are younger, so they are really naive and don’t really know what they’re doing.” Villanueva pointed out that “back in the day when Shakespeare wrote this (believed to have been between 1589 and 1592), it was a very common story and there was a code where friendship and brotherly love were on a higher level than romantic relationships. We’re still honoring that theme, but it’s exciting that Mark is game to try out various endings of how the four lovers manage that end.” Villanueva said her character, Julia, is Shakespeare’s first cross-dresser, as compared to Viola from “Twelfth Night.”

Hubert Point-Du Jour (Valentine), Britney Coleman (Silvia), Kristin Villanueva (Julia) and Adam Kantor (Proteus) star in Shakespeare’s ‘The Two Gentlemen of Verona’ at The Old Globe Theatre. Jim Cox “After my research on this play, I discovered it’s not really an original tale,” Villanueva said. “There were prior stories about females dressing up as males to follow their loved ones. Our Julia is very young, only 15. She doesn’t have a mother figure in the show.

They mention she has a father, but no siblings. She has a friend, Lucetta (Erin Elizabeth Adams), who she’s very close to. Julia has a lot of suitors but she doesn’t realize they are suitors. Then she gets a letter from Proteus saying that he loves her. She dresses up like a boy so she won’t be raped along the road, and travels to Milan only to discover that he’s in love with someone else.” Coleman finds her character, Silvia, very sweet. “I love this character,” she said. “Silvia is the object of all the boys’ affections. She’s the daughter of the Duke, is gorgeous,

smart, well endowed, and she knows how to spin boys to get them to court her properly. She holds her own against her kidnappers and has some spunk. As delicate as she may come off as, she can pack a punch, which is really fun to play.” No matter which of Shakespeare’s plays are in production, playgoers return to see them again and again. “It’s because the text is so rich,” Coleman said. “I think the first time around, they’re like me. I’m listening very hard to get an idea of who those characters are and what their relationships are. So sometimes you just have to see his plays a couple of times to get the full scope. Shakespeare’s stories are classic. He laid out all the stepping-stones that inspired so many of the stories we have today.” Another aspect of concern to both female leads is that at the end of the play, Silvia doesn’t speak for the last 10 minutes. “In many of Shakespeare’s plays, the heroines don’t talk at the end,” Villanueva said. “What’s up with that? One scholar defended this silence (calling it) a golden silence, inferring that Silvia has done everything she could within her power, and now she chooses to be silent.” Coleman added, “We wondered with that left open, did she cry, have her heart broken, or what? So we had many ideas we all talked about. It was gracious of Mark to allow the cast this opportunity. The play runs about an hour-and-a-half and Mark cut a lot of the lines that weren’t very action-driven. It’s a fun show everyone will enjoy.” u n IF YOU GO: “The Two Gentlemen of Verona,” runs Aug. 10-Sept. 14 at The Old Globe Theatre’s outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre in Balboa Park, San Diego.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - august 7, 2014 - Page B7

La Jolla couple brings one man’s spiritual journey to O.B. stage By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt For those not old enough to remember the 1960s and ‘70s, Ram Dass was the spiritual seeker who introduced thousands of young Americans to the path of enlightenment with his hip, square-cut paperback “Be Here Now,” published in 1971. That was less than a decade after he was known as Richard Alpert, the Harvard psychologist who, with Timothy Leary, made LSD a mind-opener for college students and got kicked out of Harvard in the process. In between, he took a trip through India, where he found a guru, a new life, and a new name, meaning “Servant of God.” Ram Dass has practiced and taught service and compassion ever since, even though a crippling stroke left him wheelchair-bound and speech-impaired in 1997. “Be Here Now: The Journey of Ram Dass” is playwright Lynne Kaufman’s take on all the phases of his life, coming Aug. 15-17 to the Ocean Beach Playhouse. It’s a one-man show, originally seen here in 2011, in an earlier version at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, under the title “Acid Test.” The current show stars Warren David Keith, who looks remarkably like the real Ram Dass, now 83 and living on Maui. Keith, like Kaufman, is based in the Bay Area; he has played the part to sold-out crowds in San Francisco and New York, and will be in San Diego thanks to La Jollans Dori Salois and Robert Salerno, who have produced pop-up, site-specific shows with their non-profit Vantage Theatre for more than 20 years.

Warren David Keith stars as Ram Dass in ‘Be Here Now,’ at the Ocean Beach Playhouse Aug.15-17. Courtesy

“We first found out about the play from our daughter, who performs with ACT (American Conservatory Theater) in San Francisco, as part of their MFA program,” Salois said. “Robert and I have read all of Ram Dass’ books, and have always been grateful for his teachings, so naturally, our interest was piqued.” The head of the ACT-MFA program happened to be Keith’s wife, but the play was heading for its New York production, and the time wasn’t right for Vantage. Still, Salois persisted, until finally, things fell into place. “It’s karma that we’re doing this play,” she said. “Not only did we get to know Warren David Keith because of our daughter, but Lynne Kaufmann turned out to have a

connection to Robert: she babysat for him when she was a student at Hunter College, helping Robert’s mother — a pediatrician — set up her first practice in the Bronx!” Kaufman agreed to change the play’s title — a good idea, since it’s almost a halfcentury since Ram Dass was the acid-testing Dr. Alpert. And Salerno found the perfect venue in the O.B. Playhouse: “With art work from the ’60s and paisley-pillowed lounging couches, it’s the perfect place to enhance the theatrical experience,” he said. Not that the play is just a flashback to the ’60s. It’s an intimate look at an iconic figure whose life has been long, full and open to self-reinvention. “I was deeply drawn to Ram Dass’ resilience, and his spiritual search,” said the playwright.

La Jolla Music Society chooses architect for performing center

he La Jolla Music Society has hired Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Epstein Joslin Architects to design its $40 million performing arts center at 7600 Fay Ave. in La Jolla, across from the former Jonathan’s Market, where a luxury cinema complex is also being developed. The society was prompted to consider building its own space when the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego made plans known to convert its Sherwood Auditorium at 700 Prospect St. into additional gallery space. The center will include a 500-seat concert hall, 150-seat cabaret and multipurpose area, rehearsal rooms, café, and outdoor courtyard. A grand opening is scheduled for October 2017. MIT graduate Alan Joslin will serve as lead designer on the project. The firm has

created similar spaces, including the Seiji Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood (home of the Boston Symphony), the Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda, Maryland, and Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport, Mass. Five design firms submitted proposals for the project. u — Pat Sherman

UCSD Geisel Library to host paper theater this weekend

he 13th annual Paper Theatre Festival & Exhibit runs noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 9 and Sunday, Aug. 10 in the Seuss Room of Geisel Library on UC San Diego campus. The exhibit and related activities at 2 p.m. each day are free and open to the public. Paper theatre, also called tabletop theater or toy theater, dates back to the Victorian Era when theatrical playhouses printed and sold fine souvenir posters showcasing architectural elements of their theater. These included aspects of set design, along with drawings of company actors in costume from a specific production. Condensed scripts were included and paper doll players were soon seen in lively productions on tabletops at home. Families and hobbyists would cut out the proscenium, the curtain, etc., to create a scale model of the theater. These hobbyists ended up learning much about scenic design, lighting and sound effects, music, acting, directing and choreography — all through this paper theater toy — and many aspects of stagecraft were introduced to producers and performers of all ages. For more information, call Scott Paulson at (858) 822-5758 or visit library.ucsd.edu u

From Woman’s Club, B1 Club President Mithu Sherin added, “We’ve asked ourselves what the next 100 years are going to be about, and we are still working on formulating that mission so it is congruent with our current and potential membership. I think we’ll take the next year or two to refine our vision.” However, members know they want to take the core social and educational aspects at the club’s roots and modernize them for today’s women. The club currently offers its members monthly luncheons, bridge and book clubs and yoga classes. To pay the bills, the building is marketed as a beautiful wedding venue. Hoping to bring monthly gatherings into the 21st century, one idea is to make the social hours in the evenings. “A lot of women work now and can’t take an hour-and-a half off during the day for lunch,” Sherin said. “So we’re thinking of having after-work networking events. Today’s women today are busy and to attract those busy people, you have to offer something to them, such as networking opportunities (or discussions on issues of the day).” The Club board is also considering offering open house hours in the evening. Currently, the open house hours are on Fridays and Saturdays. Sherin also said she is exploring a new mom’s group. “I know there are groups in other states where new mothers can come together and talk with each other,” she said. “Whether they are a new mom or transitioning from having one child to multiple children, they can talk about

meeting at the clubhouse, Oct. 5, 1914) with music, a speaker and slideshow. Tickets will go on sale in late August at LaJollaWomansClub.com or e-mail anniversary@LaJollaWomansClub.com things that are affecting them and learn from other mothers who have been there and know what they’re going through.” Historian Merle Lotherington noted that having a diverse membership is important so different perspectives are available. “Your life can change during the course of your membership,” she said. “You can go from a single working person to a married working person to a new mom, and someone will always be here who knows how you feel.” To focus on the health and education aspect, held so dear to “Miss Ellen” Browning Scripps, the club’s board members are also exploring lectures and seminars pertinent to women’s wellbeing. “We need to bring these issues to the forefront,” McGill said. “Our membership

goes up as high as age 95, so health issues are crucial and need to be addressed.” Sherin added there is a lot in the realm of women’s health that is not widely known, and with science and technology developing daily, there is always more to learn. As an example, she said she only recently discovered that drug dosages are not formulated differently for men and women — and they should be. “Drugs are tested for men’s bodies. The FDA never required drug-makers look at the differences in metabolism and how men’s bodies and women’s bodies might react to the same dosage,” she said. “It was shocking to me that you would get a drug approved without considering women’s biology and metabolism.” With this focus, Lotherington said they

are “honoring Miss Ellen’s vision.” Noting the plethora of health experts that might be available through UCSD, Sherin said the evening lecture series would help bring people through the doors in the future. Second Vice President Michelle Talcott insisted that once people do visit the building, they would want to come back. “There is a special mystique about this place,” she said. But it isn’t always easy to maintain. Over the last 30 years, the club’s focus has been having enough in the coffer through memberships and weddings to keep the doors open and the lights on. Sherin said that although brides appreciate the sense of privacy from the high walls and foliage-covered fences, having the building pseudo-hidden also hides it from potential visitors or members. “People think this is a private club or someone’s house,” she said. To ease the stress of building maintenance, the board is considering establishing a foundation — with a separate board — and applying for 501(c)(3) non-profit status. Should they have a separate fund for maintenance costs, they could focus other monies on whatever members deem important. With a current membership of about 120, Talcott, who is in charge of increasing the fold, noted, “We want to open our club doors to the women in La Jolla, get them in here so they can become members and help carry on the mission and be a part of the next 100 years.” u n For events information, call Sharlene Thompson at (858) 454-2354.

Reminiscent of old La Jolla, this 1927 historic landmark is one of the few true estates in town. Nestled upon almost an acre of primarily flat land overlooking the ocean & La Jolla Cove, the remarkably renovated residence is a testament to Spanish Colonial Revival offering a unique turret office, tennis court, pool & absolutely awe-inspiring grounds. Priced far below appraised value by motivated seller. This home is historic and on the Mills Act. Property taxes for 2013 were $9,395.

Kelly Senyei’s balsamic honey pulled pork sandwiches From Food Blogger, B1 “Culinary school teaches your palate what works and what goes together. So my original recipes are based on strategies or flavor combinations I learned in culinary school,” she said. Now her full-time job, she runs Just A Taste with regular postings that cover holiday content, family-friendly dishes and no-cook recipes. “I’m a sweets person, so there are a lot of desserts on my blog. I’m working with a lot of no-bake and no-cook dishes now because of the summer heat,” she said. “But I’m also focusing on family-friendly dishes. I like to

make things that look like they took five hours to make, but they only took an hour — something quick and easy but impressive.” After her success with the blog, the publishing company behind the “For Dummies” series approached her to write “Food Blogging For Dummies,” further extending her knowledgesharing reach. “It’s literally soup to nuts — everything you could want to know about starting a food blog, but it’s good for understanding blogs in general. The book covers everything from registering your domain, uploading photos, marketing your site, etc.,” she said of her book, which

was published in 2012. Her next venture is to host a webseries with KitchenAid called “DIY or Buy,” which will launch in the coming months. Never one to be concerned with oversaturation of food blogs, she just wants to get information out there. “If someone has a passion for something, they shouldn’t worry about there being hundreds or thousands of food blogs. As long as you can find a niche and make it your own,” she said. “I love the fact that food media has exploded over the last five to seven years.” Her regularly updated blog can be found at JustATaste.com u

The Overwhelming Truth We typically describe the feeling of being overwhelmed as the result of having too much to do and not enough time and energy to do it. And we think the way to solve this feeling is to simply think more clearly, or to think more and more and more. We are also commonly counseled by family and friends that in order to become less overwhelmed we need to change our perspective, to let go of the small stuff. Does that sound familiar? The truth is that feeling overwhelmed actually stems from our memories and experiences during childhood. When we feel overwhelmed, it means

that too many problems went unresolved during childhood and that same feeling is being triggered emotionally, today. We feel like we have too little energy to resolve them because of deep historical beliefs that were acquired in childhood. As a child, you did not have the ability to resolve many of your difficulties, but today you do. You just don’t believe it. I know this might sound like hokey psychological babble, but think about it: you have probably felt overwhelmed multiple times during your entire life, but have never been defeated. However, as you get older, the problems become more challenging, because they involve other people. As a result of career, family and community obligations, you run out of energy to continue to deny the truth: you can solve these problems. The truth is that feeling overwhelmed and alone is not the fault of the person feeling those feelings; it is an example of a feeling from childhood that you are re-creating for yourself in order to feel normal. In addition, living in a Western-style existence,

our competitive, capitalistic culture can also contribute to the feeling of being overwhelming. It can certainly be alienating with regards to the necessities of providing for a family, the obligations of marriage, and the participation in acts of community. As living in America continues to pressure the population, more and more men and women feel that they are inadequately fulfilling their obligations to themselves and their children. And what is even sadder is that as the population succumbs to the pressure of dual wage earners, increasing taxes, and less individual time, the sense of feeling overwhelmed and alone continues to be modeled in everyone’s home for the children to witness and then to model themselves. We would do well to take it upon ourselves to fight back: to fight the models of our childhood and to fight the pressures of our ever-present competitive reality. People who feel alone and overwhelmed can be helped—not by being told they are thinking irrationally, but by understanding where their irrational feelings

come from, accepting that those values are counterproductive today, and then by committing to change something about themselves in order to feel like a winner for a change. When our internalized words and actions are well balanced with the sensory information we are receiving from the environment, we feel safe, we feel happy, we feel satisfied, and we feel accomplished. This is what I call feeling “triumphant.” I teach my clients that the objective in life is to enjoy the day, and I teach them how to do this. It takes practice and discipline to be able to make the change from experiencing every day as painful to experiencing every day with satisfaction, but it’s possible—and it’s unbelievably worth it. If you are experiencing feelings of being overwhelmed and alone, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Visit me at http://www.peakscoaching.com or give me a call at 858-454-2828.

Let’s Review

Charm and humor lead the ‘Quartet’ By Diana Saenger nyone fortunate enough to see the movie “Quartet,” (2012) directed by Dustin Hoffman and nominated for several awards including a Golden Globe for actress Maggie Smith, knows the charm of this story. Now, Ronald Harwood’s comedy is playing at the Old Globe through Aug. 24, under the direction of Richard Seer (“Other Desert Cities,” “God of Carnage,” and “The Last Romance”). Harwood received an Academy Award for his screenplay “The Pianist,” and was nominated for “The Diving Bell and The Butterfly” and “The Dresser,” a hit on Broadway and the West End. Although not as broad as the film, the plot is the same. When professional musicians and singers (with little financial savings) face retirement, they wind up at a home for retired musicians. That’s where three former opera singers eventually find themselves. Although Reginald (Robert Foxworth, “August: Osage County” and “Twelve Angry Men”), Cecily (Jill Tanner, Broadway’s “Dividing the Estate,” and “Enchanted April”), and Wilfred (Roger Forbes, “Woman In Black,” and “Boys in Autumn”), have different personalities, they’ve managed to create a congenial life at the home. Reginald seems the most at ease here. At least, if he’s left alone with quiet time to read and reflect. However, that can’t happen when Cecily and Wilfred are around. Cecily is a springy, unpredictable lady. At times it’s unclear she knows where she’s at or what she’s doing. Other times she seems fine and fond of both of her friends. Wilfred is a bit naughty, always coming on to Cecily. She ignores him, but Reginald is outraged, telling Wilfred again and again that he’s out of order. In quieter moments when they’re not talking about music, they get a chance to catch up on each other’s lives. They all knew each other in their professional careers and some, their personal lives. When Wilfred brings up the subject of Reginald’s ex-wife, Jean (Elizabeth Franz, Tony Award for “Death of a Salesman,” and “Brighton Beach Memoirs”), Reginald is outraged and doesn’t want to talk about her. Only a short while later does Reginald learn that a new guest is coming to their home and … it’s Jean. She tries to make amends for hurting Reginald, but he wants nothing from her. Meanwhile, the three opera singers have been preparing for their yearly production of Verdi’s “Rigoletto,” the proceeds of which support their life at the home. In earlier days Jean was the grande dame who lead the production. As Wilfred and Cecily try to convince Jean to be part of the production, Reginald objects, and Jean refuses. It’s worth a ticket to see how this ends.

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

Head ‘Into the Woods’ for laughs and lunacy

heater patrons who love the different and amusingly outrageous will certainly enjoy The Old Globe Theatre’s production of “Into the Woods.” With music and lyrics created by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine, this production is reimagined by Fiasco Theater and co-directed by its founders Noah Brody and Ben Steinfeld. Putting together a cast of adults — all with beautiful voices, dressed up like a bunch of fairy tale characters — was quite a feat for Sondheim and Lapine. They probably never imagined that their story, framed around Brothers Grimm tales, would ever receive all the accolades it has, including appearing on Broadway, winning several Tony Awards, playing in world theaters, going on tour, and being adapted for a film opening in December. Known for the “oohs and aahs” from patrons who walk through its theater doors, The Globe stages a mean set. It’s status quo in this play as scenic designer Derek McLane again astounds with tall props that resemble forest trees behind the stage and a mountain of piano tops arching their way upward on the right. A simple plot gets very complicated in

this unusual tale. The Baker (Steinfeld) and his wife (Jessie Austrian) have been trying to have a baby for some time with no luck. But a Witch (Alison Cimmet) tells them it’s a curse she can remove. Of course, what witch would not expect something in return? This one tells the anxious couple they need to bring her a few things and she will fix the curse. A wild scavenger hunt in the forest ensues as baker and wife are off to bring back — a slipper (Cinderella’s) as pure as gold, some hair (Rapunzel’s) as yellow as corn, a cow as white as milk, and a cape (Red Riding Hood’s) as red as blood. The cast of 10 enters in attire created by costume-whiz Whitney Locher. It’s not hard to recognize some of the fairy tale characters. The cow, Milky White (Andy Grotelueschen, amusing as a cow and also Rapunzel’s Prince), walks on two feet and has a cowbell around his neck. When it’s time for Brody to appear as the Wolf, he merely brings a large wolf face up to his. It’s easier when he has to change into his role of Lucinda or Cinderella’s Prince. There’s no mistaking Rapunzel, hiding in her castle with her yellow hair hanging far down the side. Emily Young has no
