Tale
By Pat Sherman The United States Postal Service (USPS) facility on Silver Street (just off Draper Avenue) has sold for $6.8 million. The 10,143-square-foot property at 720 Silver St., which the USPS has leased since it was built in 1975 to sort mail for 42 letter carriers, will be redeveloped as town homes. CBRE Group Inc. represented the seller, Katherine Codega. EHOF La Jolla LLC, with developers William Berwin and Michael Pierson, purchased the property. La Jolla Village Merchants Association board trustee Trenton Bonner, of Trenton Bonner Coastal Real Estate, represented EHOF (a division of Encore Housing Opportunity Fund), which intends to demolish the existing building and construct townhomes. USPS has been searching for a site within the Village of La Jolla to relocate letter carrier services when its lease on the Silver Street property expires in July 2015. Postal Service spokesperson Eva Jackson said CBRE is “currently working to find a new location and nail down availability and lease terms,” though she said she was not certain whether they had located a site yet. “Being that it’s a carrier annex it does not need to be in the Village of La Jolla, since it’s not a location where customers need to go to do their retail,” Jackson told La Jolla Light. “I’m not even sure if there’s anything big enough in the Village of La Jolla for a carrier annex.” All county mail is currently sorted at the regional post office in Carmel Mountain and sent to centers like La Jolla’s. Stamps and other services are purchased at La Jolla’s historic post office at 1140 Wall St., which USPS announced more than two-and-a-half years ago that it intends to sell. u

Burns Drugs’ space to undergo big renovation Design plans call for two apartments above retail space. Pat Sherman
By Pat Sherman The two-level space at 7824 Girard Ave. that was home to Burns Drugs for 62 years (before it closed earlier this year) is getting a complete interior and exterior makeover, as the new owner seeks to court a high-profile tenant. Michael Slattery of Cassidy Turley BRE Commercial Real Estate, who is handling the lease for the owner, Beverly Hills-based FDZ Partners LLC,
said the upstairs will be developed as two apartments, “based on the level of interest.” Although the building has not yet been leased, Slattery said Alcorn & Benton Architects (located nearby on Girard Avenue) were selected as the architect and a preliminary design has been chosen. “It’s a large building with hardly any windows,” Slattery said. “They’re going to make it much more attractive.

it’s really going to enhance that whole retail core area and attract some really high quality (tenants). “We talk to tenants all the time, but until we’re a little further along on the construction phase, there won’t probably be (anything solidified),” he said.

I took this splash-and-spray photograph of four La Jolla girls enjoying an afternoon at North Marine Street Beach last week. — Juliana Beletsis
y name is Debbie and I live in the Clinton Manor condo building on Eads Avenue. The upper part of Eads Avenue has parking signs that say “2-hour head-in parking Monday-Saturday.” Last Saturday morning, I noted three, huge, tour buses were parked parallel in front of the north section of Clinton Manor and the neighboring two condos, which end at Silver Street. I did not see any permits on the bus windows. n Question: Are tour companies required to have a permit to parallel park large buses taking up several head-in parking spots, and if so, where do they obtain their passes? Is there any limit on time for permits? Do they have to give notice to neighborhoods that they will be taking up large numbers of parking spots and the length of time covered? Do their permits have to be posted on the front windshield? n Answer: Responding to this inquiry, La Jolla Light learned that private tour buses are not exempt from any of the traffic laws relating to parking. San Diego Police Department Parking Enforcement Supervisor Joe Arway e-mailed, “If a bus were to park into or across several diagonal stalls, it would be considered, ‘out of stall,’ and could incur a $52 parking fine. There are no permits that would allow a bus to park in violation.” If someone observes an illegally parked private tour bus, they are encouraged to record the location and license plate number, along with any information about the bus company that is displayed on the bus. With as much information as possible, they can call the police nonemergency line (619) 531-2000. u

Etymology of an Avenue ■ Ivanhoe Avenue takes its name from the popular 1820 novel ‘Ivanhoe,’ by Scottish historical novelist, playwright and poet, Sir Walter Scott, where it is used as the surname of the protagonist Wilfred of Ivanhoe.
one of the bygone streetlamps that once graced the village; this one sat at Ivanhoe avenue and Prospect Street. La JoLLa HistoricaL society
■ Ivanhoe Avenue was first named Ictinus after the Greek architect, known for his work on the Parthenon and the Acropolis. Ictinus lost to Ivanhoe in a major renaming of La Jolla streets in 1900, reportedly at the suggestion of Ellen Browning Scripps, who probably admired Scott’s acclaimed novel and its battle-worn, but triumphant hero, who endures burning castles, devious monks and combat with errant knights to achieve his kingdom and the hand of the lovely Lady Rowena. — La Jolla Historical Society

Yetman said a lot has changed on Ivanhoe since she opened Swoon in December. “With the new shops opening, there is a new pulse on the street,” she said. Brown noted her English tearoom and café’s proximity to reasonably priced public parking on Cave Street and an underground garage at Ivanhoe and Silverado Street (just $5 a day). “I believe there’s lots of

“In its earliest days it was a street of mainly small cottages bearing names such as Linger Longer, Michiquita and Waverly,” La Jolla Historical Society historian Carol Olen writes, in the society’s Timekeeper newsletter. “One of La Jolla’s most-treasured book stores, John Cole’s, started on Ivanhoe before moving to Wisteria Cottage on Prospect Street” (today part of the La Jolla Historical Society campus).
But this tree-lined, tranquil street, with its current array of notable architecture, boutique shops, office space and two cozy eateries, is worth another look. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes of the 2012 Mr. Taco fire — which led to the popular eatery’s demise — the ground-level retail spaces in the Bentz Building between Wall and Prospect streets are all rented and business owners have created a palpable synergy. “It’s like a little family; we all take care of each other,” said Lisa Lehmkuhl, who

This 1916 panorama shows Ivanhoe avenue looking toward Prospect Street. The building at left once housed the Balmer School, which became what is today La Jolla Country Day School (now in UTC). Today, this stretch of Ivanhoe contains the Bentz Building, which opened in 1962 and now includes tenants such as Mary’s english Kitchen, Barre 59 studio, hi Sweetheart and Swoon boutique. across Ivanhoe and still standing is Congregational Church, which held its first Sunday service in January 1916.

From either eatery, one can watch people coming and going from the historic Wall Street Post Office, or gaze across at the majestic Congregational Church of La Jolla. The building was designed by architect Carleton Winslow in 1915, who also designed many of the buildings in Balboa Park for the 1915-1917 Panama-California Exposition (World’s Fair). The congregation will celebrate the building’s centennial next year. One of the two oldest public buildings in the Village (Bishop’s School is the other), Congregational Church held its first service in January 1916, adding a fellowship hall,
social hall, Sunday school rooms and stained glass in the 1950s and ’60s, Pastor Sam Greening said. Although its tower was absent a bell for many years, in the early 1960s children in the congregation raised money to purchase one of the last original bells belonging to the more than 600-mile-long El Camino Real trail (later roadway) that connected 21 missions, from San Diego to Sonoma. “To this day, it’s always a child who rings the bell at the beginning of Sunday service,” Greening said, adding that he thinks the historic Wall Street Post Office (threatened with sale and relocation) gives Ivanhoe its personality. “The continuing presence of the post office is important to us,” Greening said. “Without it, I think the character of the block would change horrendously.”

The bucolic corner at Ivanhoe avenue and roslyn Lane where Betty Crane real estate was located (in this 1972 photo at left) was destined for a dramatic overhaul. Today, this land on Ivanhoe between roslyn and Prospect Street is home to the five-story, 77,300 square-foot manchester Financial Building, opened in 1978. Photos by La JoLLa historicaL society and Pat sherman From Ivanhoe, a5 Next to the church, at 7917 Ivanhoe, is a two-story building designed by architect Russell Forester (1920-2002), whose famed mid-century designs included some of the first Jack-in-the-Box restaurants. Opening in April 1965, it was home to the Jefferson Gallery, which relocated from Girard Avenue. The gallery’s opening drew nearly 400 people for a Champagne reception, according to the La Jolla Historical Society, and included luminaries such as La Jolla painter and illustrator, Phil Kirkland. Russell Forester’s daughter, Lynn Forester, recalls visiting Kirkland’s “crazy cottage,”
just a half block down on Prospect Street with her parents, who collected his pieces. “He was very much sort of a hippie and his cottage was full of interesting, strange things,” recalled Forester, a young girl at the time. “He often painted or drew women without shirts. I asked him, ‘How come your women don’t have any shirts on?’ and he said, ‘Oh, their shirts are at the cleaners.’ … He was a character.” Jefferson Gallery was pivotal to San Diego’s modern and contemporary art scene of the mid-1960s, until the owners “abruptly closed the gallery in 1968 for personal reasons,” shocking the local art scene, Olten writes. At the foot of Wall Street, at 7855 Ivanhoe,
This cottage at 7938 Ivanhoe avenue, once known as ‘Frog Pond’ and the ‘Stahl house,’ was one of the last Craftsman-style homes on Ivanhoe. It was demolished to make way for a contemporary building that would house the Gagosian Gallery and is now home to harcourts Prestige Properties (The el Patio Building can be seen to the right).

architect Robert Mosher (San DiegoCoronado Bridge, UC San Diego’s John Muir College) designed what was in 1964 Ivanhoe’s tallest structure, the five-story La Jolla Bank Building (today home to Pacific Sotheby’s Realty and other tenants). Mosher said he is still proud of the building, with its New Orleans-inspired balconies (a detail rarely used on office buildings), though notes that he was not responsible for the “terrible” rooftop shack (part of a later fix to cover a contractor’s air conditioning debacle). Mosher recalled telling the bank’s board of directors, “People are not going to be real happy with a five-story building in La Jolla,”
We Are Buying
going on to suggest the French Quarter-style balconies to soften the building’s fenestration. “Our building ... dominated everything,” Mosher recalled. “It was a choice that the bank made because they intended to (have) income property there.” Further down on Ivanhoe, the building once housing the former Copley Press headquarters in the 7700 block of Ivanhoe (at Silverado) has been remodeled as office and commercial space. Next door, between Silverado and Kline streets, elements of several of La Jolla’s original beach cottages have been incorporated into the Heritage on Ivanhoe residential development, completed last year. u

Ban on overnight parking for oversized vehicles in effect By Karen BillinG San Diego’s oversized vehicle ordinance is now in effect, restricting overnight parking of oversized vehicles on city streets. The ordinance addresses any vehicle exceeding 27 feet long and 7 feet high, as well as recreational vehicles such as camp trailers, campers, boats or all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). Violations will result in a $100 fine. A grace period for enforcement is in effect until Aug. 16. Per the new ordinance, oversized vehicles cannot be parked on public streets between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. Residents can obtain a temporary overnight vehicle permit that will allow for overnight parking on their own block at a cost of $1.25. A maximum of 72 permits are allowed per address per year and cannot exceed three consecutive 24-hour periods. Permits can be obtained online at sandiego.thepermitstore.com/ purchase.php.

Planners disagree with city on trustee election challenge n Group votes to reject the city’s June 26 recommendation to seat architect Michael Morton
La Jolla Community Planning Association City of San Diego Senior Planner Lesley henegar says failing to follow the city’s recommended actions, the LJCPa risks decertification and loss of legal indemnity.
LJCPa board president Joe LaCava was elected to a third trustee term in march, receiving two-thirds of LJCPa membership vote required to exceed term limits.
meeting — states that though LJCPA trustee and current board president Joe LaCava received two-thirds of the membership’s vote required to exceed term limits, it should have been stated on the ballot that “new candidates (such as Morton) have priority over candidates exceeding term limits.” (Former LJCPA treasurer Jim Fitzgerald also ran for a third term and was elected, although he declined to join the board to make room for a fresh candidate). Trustee Janie Emerson, who chaired the March election, said she found it “amusing” and “appalling” that the city did not consult her before it issued Fulton’s recommendation. Emerson said both she and Henegar were at La Jolla Rec Center prior to the start of the March 6 election.
“The ballot clearly stated that both Joe LaCava and Jim Fitzgerald had served six years and needed two-thirds (vote) to be reelected,” Emerson said, adding she asked Henegar if there were any problem with the ballot, and offered to reprint it that afternoon. “If there was other wording that needed to be put on the ballot I would have changed it (but) … I was told the ballot was fine,” Emerson said, a point Henegar did not dispute. Citing San Diego City Council Policy 60024 (standard operating procedures and responsibilities of recognized community planning groups), Henegar maintained the ballot should have stated that new candidates have priority over those exceeding term limits of “eight or nine years.” However, Emerson noted the term limit
for LJCPA is six years, not eight or nine, as stated in policy 600-24. Henegar maintained LJCPA was deviating from its bylaws and risked decertification. “When (planning) groups deviate from their bylaws, if they don’t follow them, the groups do run the risk of losing their indemnification if sued,” she added. LJCPA treasurer Nancy Manno made a motion to accept Fulton’s June 26 response and seat Morton. “I believe, very strongly, that Mr. Morton was not elected and should not be seated and the city has erred in asking the La Jolla CPA to seat Mr. Morton as a trustee,” Manno said. “However, to risk the La Jolla CPA’s certification and indemnification, I believe to be an unacceptable risk.”

By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) — which makes landuse recommendations to the city — voted to disregard the city’s recommendation it seat architect Michael Morton as a trustee during the group’s Aug. 7 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. Morton ran for a seat on the board during the LJCPA’s March election, receiving the fewest votes of both those on the official ballot and three write-in candidates. The city’s recommendation to seat Morton was issued by outgoing chief Planning Director Bill Fulton, in response to a challenge of the LJCPA’s March 6 election by Bob Whitney and his La Jolla Association group. Fulton’s June 26 recommendation — drafted by city Senior Planner Lesley Henegar, who attended LJCPA’s August

Cindy Greatrex and Mike Costello, both elected to the LJCPA board in July, are seated after taking the oath of office. “I’m a little stunned by what Nancy Manno said,” responded trustee Rob Whittemore, who was elected to the board in March as a write-in candidate and who authored a response to Fulton’s recommendation letter on behalf of the LJCPA. “We’ve been (threatened) with being decertified before and we followed our bylaws and were victorious.” Manno’s motion failed by a vote of 5-7-1. Another write-in candidate in the March election, Peter Ovanessoff, also received more votes than Morton, though withdrew his candidacy — something Morton said smacked of “proxy voting,” which is not allowed. LJCPA secretary Helen Boyden said if the city recognizes Ovanessoff was not elected in March, “I would propose that … neither was Mr. Morton.”
LJCPA chose not to follow the city’s recommendation to seat candidate Michael Morton as a trustee, noting he received fewer votes than other writeins, and far less than two trustees vying to exceed term limits.
“No matter how we resolve this issue,” Boyden added, “I would hope the city would take an opportunity to sit down with us and listen to the various arguments that have been made, because I don’t think the city has fairly listened to them.” Whittemore argued that the LJCPA followed its bylaws in regard to the March election. “There is no threat whatsoever from decertification — it just won’t happen,” he said. “In each case and when they make a recommendation to seat Mr. Morton, it’s not a ruling … it’s barely a recommendation and it’s based on false assertions and false notions. It’s stunning to me that the city appears not to have read our bylaws. Mr. Fulton is going to be going to another city. I don’t believe this letter got his full attention when he signed it. I think

staff didn’t do its homework.” Henagar conceded that city staff hadn’t fully “researched” the points raised in Whittemore’s response letter. Trustee Ray Weiss asked whether the city might be “gracious enough” to consider whether Whittemore’s points are “compelling to the city or not.” (Henegar said she would convey the request to city management for consideration). Addressing Henegar, trustee Alex Outwater questioned, “Is the city interested in engaging in a dialogue with the trustees about this issue, or is it more interested in waving a stick around?” In the end, LJCPA trustees voted 7-5-1 to reject the city’s recommendation to seat Morton. Henegar cautioned, “You serve at-will and

you’re self-governing, but if the group chooses not to accept the recommendation from Mr. Fulton, then staff will refer (the matter) to city attorneys and they will get involved further.” Also in attendance was Francis Barraza, La Jolla’s representative for Mayor Kevin Faulconer. She said the mayor was “monitoring this issue from afar,” but added wasn’t prepared to comment further at this time. The LJCPA next voted to reject a subsequent challenge to its July election in which Cindy Greatrex and Mike Costello were the top vote-getters for two open seats. (Morton, who ran again in July, came in third). Greatrex and Costello took the oath of office and were seated following the vote. u n For more LJCPA coverage, pick up a copy of next week’s La Jolla Light.

Children’s Pool Walk project short $80,000
14
n Additional funding needed to proceed on schedule By Ashley MAckin As construction resumes on the Children’s Pool lifeguard tower — after a minor delay due to a seagull chick that was nesting there — so does fundraising for the Children’s Pool Walk beautification project. Spearheaded by La Jollan Phyllis Minick and designed by landscape architect Jim Neri, the project would widen the sidewalk overlooking Children’s Pool, add a new gazebo and seating, and replace old planters to cover the crumbling walls. Having raised the original estimate of $250,000, higher than expected assessment costs and review fees have upped the price tag by an additional $80,000. To save costs on the privately funded project, work would need to be done concurrent to lifeguard tower construction, so crews can take advantage of street closures and work permits already in place. Although assessments and reviews by the city took longer than planned — pushing back any possible start
date for the beautification project — the seagull chick nesting at the tower site also delayed construction, June 2 to Aug. 4. Monica Muñoz, senior public information officer for San Diego Public Works Department explained that including the demolition, construction is expected to take eight months, with only light interior work occurring during this year’s harbor seal pupping season (Dec. 15, 2014 to May 15, 2015). The date of completion is being negotiated with the contractor hired by the city. However, the city expects the tower to be operational by summer 2015. Muñoz said it is possible the city incurred additional costs with the delay and won’t be able to determine how much until the project is complete. The tower’s pricetag is estimated at $3.25 million. With that schedule in mind, Neri said the Children’s Pool Walk project would need to be ready for construction by March 1. That would mean having permits secured and
construction drawings approved by the city, a contractor signed up and ready to begin work, and all the necessary funding in hand. He said any work that does not involve physical labor at the site — such as city paperwork or the search for a contractor — could occur during the pupping season. However, with the total amount being higher than expected, Neri said extra funding will be needed, and his team is hoping to only use private dollars. “If we can’t get more private dollars to pay for it, then we have to go through a much lengthier process because we have to use public funding that the city has in place for coastal projects,” he said. “The review process becomes a lot more rigorous. There is a lot more scrutiny of how (the public) dollars are being used so it becomes a lot more cumbersome to get something done.” u n To contribute to the Children’s Pool Walk beautification project, e-mail AhernGroup@gmail.com or MinickPhyllis@gmail.com

srael Tennis Centers Foundation (ITC) will host a fundraising event 4-6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 24 in La Jolla, when a team of Israeli players and coaches will fly to California to meet members of the San Diego community interested in learning more about the current conflict and how the ITC centers have played an integral role in keeping them safe and secure. Hundreds of children from southern ITC locations have been provided transportation to northern centers, away from the blare of sirens and the threats of rocket attacks from Hamas. During this crisis, the goal has been to provide a caring and nurturing place for disadvantaged Israeli children, a place where they can continue to learn essential life skills through the sport of tennis. “Our event in La Jolla will give all those who attend a chance to hear incredibly inspiring stories from the kids themselves,” said Jacqueline Glodstein, ITC vice president of global development. “It’s all about serving a better future for children, and we need to support them in every way we can for their sake and for the whole of Israel.” The ITC works with the Jaffa Institute to bring underprivileged children from the Institute to the Center in Jaffa. There they learn essential life skills to help them become productive, confident and successful members of Israeli society For the event location and more information, contact Richard Weber at (646) 884-7410, e-mail rweber@israeltenniscenters.org or visit IsraelTennisCenters.org u

Music Society to name Fay Avenue complex the ‘Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center’ By James Chute
Special to La Jolla Light
Pictured at La Jolla music society’s summerFest gala on aug. 9 in Rancho santa Fe are Irwin and Joan Jacobs with Debbie turner and Conrad Prebys. Vincent AndrunAS to make the decision,” Prebys said. “I consider it my pride and joy.” The La Jolla Music Society purchased a
30,760-square-foot parcel of land at 7600 Fay Ave. (between Pearl and Kline streets) in late May for an undisclosed price. Last week,
s
The La Jolla Music Society has raised $50 million to fund the construction of a new performing arts complex, which will be named the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center. With the year-long “silent phase” of the capital campaign completed, the Music Society is launching a public effort to raise an additional $10 million for an endowment to help support programming at the center, the society announced Saturday at its SummerFest gala. Construction of the new center on Fay Avenue is expected to begin in late 2016 and be completed by October 2017. The fund drive will continue through the Music Society’s 50th anniversary season in 2018-2019. “I can’t tell you how excited I am,” said Prebys, who was the campaign’s most generous donor, giving $15 million toward the construction of the center. Because of his philanthropy, Prebys’ name has become ubiquitous in San Diego, from the Conrad Prebys Elephant Care Center at the San Diego Zoo to the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center at The Old Globe. “When the Music Society opportunity presented itself, I think I took five minutes
it announced the Cambridge, Mass.-based firm of Epstein Joslin Architects will design the center, which is anchored by a 500-seat concert hall and includes a 150-seat cabaret/ multipurpose space. “I have great faith in the architects and we were familiar with their music hall in Rockport (the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Massachusetts),” said Brenda Baker, a longtime La Jolla Music Society board member and former board chair, who with her husband Steve Baum, donated $10 million toward the center. “Shalin Liu is a unique facility. The design is absolutely perfect for that spot, it has beautiful acoustics, and it’s both comfortable and surprising, which is what we hope for the building here.” In all, 11 donors (or donor families) accounted for the $50 million, with “lead gifts” from Joan and Irwin Jacobs ($10 million), Raffaella and John Belanich ($5 million), Baker and Baum, and Prebys. The La Jolla Music Society, with an operating budget of approximately $4.1 million, is San Diego’s principal presenter of touring performing artists. Unlike the symphony, it does not have its own ensemble. Its motto is “we bring the world to San
www.lajollalight.com Diego,” referring to the musicians and dance companies who offer concerts under the Music Society’s sponsorship at venues around town, but primarily at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s Sherwood Auditorium in La Jolla. Although building its own concert hall had been seriously discussed at least twice by the board in the Music Society’s 47-year history, it was only with the Museum of Contemporary Art’s announcement of longrange plans to renovate and expand its campus and convert Sherwood Auditorium into gallery space that the society was forced to act. “This is probably the world’s record for fundraising (in terms of raising a large amount of money in a relatively short time),” Baker said. “And it’s because, first of all, it had to happen; we didn’t really have a choice. And secondly, there’s no time like the present. Don’t delay; costs go up, everything goes up. So let’s get it done. And a number of people simultaneously felt that way.” Prebys said he and LJMS artistic director Christopher Beach visited two other sites in La Jolla before deciding on the Fay Street location, which will also house the Music Society’s administrative offices and box office. “Two of them didn’t do it,” said Prebys. “And then we saw this one and it was a matter of seconds before I said, that’s it, that’s the one. “I’ve been in real estate ever since I’ve been in San Diego, so I can recognize real estate by this time. I think it’s perfect. It’s just the perfect location, and I think it will be something very, very special for San Diego.” Prebys is president of Progress

Construction and Management, which he helped form soon after moving to San Diego in 1965. He (with his company and trust) is now one of the county’s largest land owners, with dozens of properties, many of them apartment buildings. But when he was younger, he thought he might be a musician. A 2012 analysis by Business Insider, based on data from the Chronicle of Philanthropy, named Prebys the 24th most generous person in America, estimating that he donated $63.1 million in 2011 and had a net worth of $125 million. He was just behind Joan and Irwin Jacobs, who ranked 22nd with 2011 donations of $64.9 million and a net worth estimated at $1.15 billion. His causes have ranged from Scripps Health ($45 million for a new cardiovascular institute) to San Diego State University ($20 million which resulted in the new student union being named in his honor). But he says this one is especially close to his heart, and he will have more of a handson role in the project’s “nuts and bolts” than in his other endeavors. “Music is everything for me. Everything,” said Prebys, who grew up in South Bend, Ind. and attended Indiana University. “For me, music is experiencing the sublime. I live every day with music around me, whether it’s in my car, whether it’s at home... So it’s extremely important.” (Additional donations of more than $1 million were received from Rita and Richard Atkinson, The Beyster Family, Silvija and Brian Devine, Joy Frieman, Peter and Peggy Preuss, Clara Wu and Joseph Tsai, and an anonymous donor.) u

La Jolla Light will no longer make candidate endorsements OuR VIEW
O
nce upon a time, before absentee balloting became the preferred way for voters to express their candidate preferences, newspaper publishers and editors would spend considerable time and energy on offering ballot recommendations to their readers. that tradition dates back to days long before the Internet, when most of the information gained by voters about those seeking public office could be found in printed media. the thinking behind making newspaper endorsements went something like, “We have been covering the campaigns and the issues, we have met in person with the candidates and we’d like to offer our considered opinions as to who should be elected.” the endorsements typically were printed a week or so before Election Day. that was then, this is now. the practice of good citizens waiting until Election Day to cast their ballots has changed.

Now the majority of ballots cast in san Diego County are done so through the mail. Of ballots cast in the low-turnout June primary, 73 percent were by absentee. the November 2012 election saw 56 percent of the voting done by mail.
absentee ballots are mailed out 29 days before Election Day. In order for our endorsements to have any relevance, they would have to be printed four weeks before Election Day. that, in our opinion, is much too early. a lot can happen during those four weeks. Candidates can (and do) stumble. Early endorsements might also open us up to allegations that coverage of an endorsed candidate might be “slanted” toward his or her election success. that would never happen here, but perception is seldom influenced by facts. For these reasons, we have decided to no longer endorse candidates for political office. It is the end of a long tradition here, but one that needs to be retired. We encourage our readers to do their own research on the candidates running for office. Read us for profiles on local candidates and coverage of public candidate forums. study our reports on how their campaigns are financed. Be skeptical of all campaign literature. Dig a little deeper. stay informed, and cast an intelligent ballot. u

Use merchant BID fees to clean La Jolla’s Village (thank you for the story in the aug. 7 issue about La Jolla BID.) I have been trying to find out how to complain about the La Jolla BID and La Jolla retailers for some time. I am not a retailer and not on the ground floor where I work, however, I do have the joy of paying the La Jolla BID tax. I don’t know what those in charge are doing with the funds that are collected. the various tripping conditions due to uneven sidewalks are probably something that should be corrected by the city. My other complaint has to do with the filthy sidewalks. I would think that the people who have ground floor establishments would have some pride that would spur them to clean the sidewalks in front of their establishments. One of the worst areas is the sidewalk in front of the Y on Herschel. Parents don’t clean up after their children when they spit their gum on the sidewalk and the people at the Y (seem to) leave it there. I have been walking around dog feces since I arrived in La Jolla. the seagulls can’t be potty trained, but why not power wash the streets and sidewalks once in a while? there has been dirt from a seagull on the front door of the Wall street Post Office for a couple of years. these conditions do not make visitors want to come back or recommend La Jolla to their friends. Stanley Back La JoLLa
Dog behavior can’t be predicted, that’s why dogs must be leashed I used to run, well, shuffle really, around the shores and the beach quite often. I can’t tell you how many times I would be tottering along minding my own business when suddenly an off-leash dog would run up to me growling,
barking (I know the difference between a nice bark and a I’m-about-to-make-you-wish-you’dstayed-home bark), and even jumping on me aggressively. I came home once with claw marks all over my midriff that welted up. No bikini that day! another time I was pinned against a parked car and mentally planning my funeral as a black lab snarled and barked angrily. the common thread in aLL of these encounters is a kindly owner who, moments before their dog scares the you-know-what out of me, says, “Oh, don’t worry about Brandy/Fifi/ Killer, he’s friendly and won’t hurt anybody! ... Oh! Oh! Bad doggie! Down boy, down! Oh my goodness, Sweetums/Rufus/Marmaduke has NEVER done this before! Oh, I’m so sorry! Bad doggie, get off her NOW! Come, let’s get back in the house ...” this also happened to each of my children when they were toddlers and it was terrifying. My point is there is no owner who knows 100 percent what their dog is going to do in a given situation. I owned a dog a long time ago, who was a gem on-leash and a nightmare off-leash. she bit a neighbor’s child after getting out of the house one day. I agree with the other writers that dog owners take great care of our beaches, better than most others, but I still think dogs belong on leashes when there are other people around. You just never know. P.s. I do love dogs, and agree wholeheartedly that they have an important place in human beings’ lives and in our communities. Susan Wiczynski La JoLLa ShoreS
Fed up with dog poop on the streets of La Jolla I cannot count how many times I’ve seen piles of fresh dog waste that has been unloaded along the grass or dirt by the sidewalks on my street along Fay avenue. It happens on a consistent, daily basis. I will add that I never see any teenagers or young people walking dogs — it’s always mature people of retirement age. I
could understand how kids could be irresponsible and not clean up after their dogs, however, it still would not be excusable to me, as a parent. I’m always appalled that any dog owner would just walk away from their pet’s excrement as if it never happened. I’m guessing these pet owners make sure there’s no bystander around to witness them not picking up after their pets. Or do they leave it up to the “bystander effect” — somebody else will pick it up for them. I wonder, could there be a tangible reason an owner wouldn’t clean up after their pet? Did they run out of plastic bags? are they physically unable to bend over and bag up their doggie waste? But no, plastic bags readily come home with the groceries and anyone physically unable to bend over and put something in a bag likely would not be able to physically walk their dog around the block! therefore, such dog owners just lack concern and consideration for their neighbors. Whenever I see this waste close to my house, I pick it up because I would hate for myself, anyone in my family (or anyone else!) to step in it, especially in the evening when it’s impossible to see — trust me, it has happened before! Ick. this is not only a problem on my street, as I have seen massive dog waste left ON tHE sIDEWaLK of girard and other streets as well. I wonder if residents of other streets have their dogs leave waste on streets they don’t reside on in order to avoid being caught? the city provides a handsome fine for this if reported and will come to your house and personally school you on proper pet care! It really boils down to this though: such behavior is just downright LaZY and IRREsPONsIBLE and the people involved should relinquish their dogs to the county to be adopted by someone more mature and responsible who will clean up after it.

Worldly and well-travelled, Richard’s insatiable curiosity was manifested in diverse collections of contemporary art, Mexican silver, vintage pottery and post cards. He was a loving spouse, generous friend and bon vivant. For twenty years from 1974-1993 he was Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, where he organized numerous Biennial Exhibitions of contemporary art, and many seminal one-artist and group exhibitions including New Image Painting, Ceramic Sculpture, The New Sculpture 1965-75: Between Geometry and Gesture, American Art Since 1970, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jonathan Borofsky, Alexander Calder, Alex Katz, Robert Kushner, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Mapplethorpe, Louise Nevelson, Isamu Noguchi, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, Edward Ruscha, and Joel Shapiro, among others.

Subsequent commissions included ambitious works by Jorge Pardo, John Chamberlain, Damien Hirst, Peter Wegner, Barnaby Furnas, Jeff Koons, E.V. Day, Sarah Morris, Folkert de Jong, Enoc Perez, Tom Friedman, Richard Dupont, Tom Sachs, Liza Lou, and Paula Hayes. In addition, Richard was a former member of the Authentication Committee of the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat and the Byzantine Fresco Foundation, The Menil Collection, Houston; and a member of the Advisory Board of the Alexander Calder Foundation, New York, and a Trustee of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.

Murfey Construction to build 36 apartments in Hillcrest By Marti Gacioch urfey Construction is ready to break ground in September for a five-story apartment building that will house 36 “luxury” apartments on the corner of Washington Street and Eighth Avenue in Hillcrest. “They are our main focus now,” said sales manager Jesse Lyons. The one- and two-bedroom units will range in size from 760- to 1200-square-feet. “Amenities will be similar to other Murfey Construction projects, including solar panels on the roof top deck complete with a BBQ, that serves as a common area for residents to entertain and socialize,” Lyons said. Energy-efficient stainless steel appliances and energy-efficient green heating and air conditioning are also a given with Murfey Construction. The company thinks green for the environment and builds green to continue protecting it while serving its tenants with cutting edge, state-of-art technology, Lyons said. Other amenities will include Europeanstyle wooden cabinets, hard surface quartz counters in two color schemes, a washer and dryer in each unit, and refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave and tankless water heaters. “Everything will be pre-wired for cable and Internet and there will be wall-mounted

A few of the
1,400-1,500 square foot townhomes include a rooftop deck. The multi-use project will have street-level retail spaces. “The Hillcrest and Famosa projects afford Murfey Construction the opportunity to create unique and sustainable living spaces within the urban areas of San Diego,” Murfey said. “These are just two examples of the many projects we are working on which feature green building techniques, designed to blend into the existing neighborhoods seamlessly.” Murfey Construction is also known for its commercial construction and custom-home building projects. Among those recently completed are a hotel at Crystal Pier, the Promiscuous Fork Restaurant’s second location in Pacific Beach and a UC San Diego medical clinic.

NEW LOCATION
Grand Re-opening of New State-of-the-Art Wellness Facility Gene Barduson, founder of the patented Myo Metrix Method Workout™, has recently relaunched a new stateof-the-art studio which boasts a unique 30-minute workout with a personal trainer equivalent to 100 minutes of weight training, 60 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of stretching in a single session. The workout begins with an optional treatment of the FDA-approved i-Lipo Xcell by Chromogenex™ which generates a chemical signal in the fat cells to undergo lipolysis (which naturally breaks down the stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol). The treatment takes 20 minutes, targeting one area per session, and is virtually painless. Since an i-Lipo device breaks down stored fat, immediate post-treatment exercise will ensure the complete metabolism of excess fatty acids and thus eliminate them from the body. Next is 10 minutes of vertical vibration therapy. It increases production of HGH, serotonin and endorphins while it lowers cortisol and lactic acid. It decreases cellulite, tightens skin and relieves menopausal symptoms. It increases metabolism, reduces body fat and relieves stress. It also stimulates the lymphatic system, which assists in the removal of toxins and gets rid of joint and back pain. When you do a traditional workout you are exercising one muscle group at a time, but on a WBV machine all of your muscles are being worked the entire time and you are working under a much greater g-force, which accelerates results. Movements on the WBV platform have been shown to be four times more effective than equivalent exercises performed on a stationary surface. Then it is on to the ROM, a machine that looks like something from a futuristic society — a high-intensity, 4-minute interval training workout that boasts the same results as 45 minutes of cardio and weight training combined and used by NASA to keep the astronauts fit while orbiting the Earth. The workout concludes with a 10- to 15-minute horizontal vibration recovery, calibrating metabolism for optimal fat loss and lean muscle mass building. La Jolla Wellness Studio offers massage and acupuncture, stretch and meditation classes, as well as the first IV bar in La Jolla with customized vitamin IV therapy and vitamin shots. The studio offers competitive prices and loyalty programs for a complete lifestyle of wellness and anti-aging.

Alternative to those noisy leaf blowers This letter is in response to Ruthie Gordon’s in the Aug. 7 issue: There is a quieter leaf blower. It runs on electricity. I bought a Toro many years ago. It is quiet and has two settings: fast and slow. Maybe we could require its use since most homes and commercial buildings have outside electric outlets. Sara Moser La JoLLa
Trauma care saved life On the night of July 27, shortly after midnight, I was awakened by my husband’s movements and realized very quickly he was experiencing a stroke! I called 911 and the response came within minutes. They did all that was necessary and took him to the Scripps Trauma Center where they also were very efficient. My sincere thanks to both these groups. The happy outcome to our night of nervous drama: my husband is now in a rehab facility and doing well. Selma Farkas
We found, Charlie! Thank you so much for publishing our letter when our dog was missing after the
terrible thunderstorm in July. Fortunately, he was found on Tuesday (nine days after he disappeared) but it was too late to alter the letter, which you published. Many people have been very concerned about his disappearance and will be happy to hear he is OK. We truly cannot believe how the town rallied around this search and if possible, we would appreciate your publishing this letter regarding his recovery. I think others might learn something from our experience and as so many people seem “polarized” on the issue of dogs in La Jolla, this is a story that can bring everyone together. It has been an amazing two weeks! Jean McPhee La JoLLa
Inga was right to tout the power of massages First, thanks La Jolla Light for going through the trouble in the spring to return to the original paper/page format. I imagine that took quite an effort and negotiation, but what’s more important than to make the readers happy? I find La Jolla Light articles and columns to be very interesting and inspiring ... this time, I wrote a reply to one: Dear Inga, thanks for sharing your article about massage, “Slather me up” in the Aug. 7 issue. It’s a testimony of how ”rich” your life experience is — what a great topic! Old as humankind itself, “rubbing” was praised in Chinese medicine as a protection against
cold, to keep organs supple, prevent illness, etc.) and it was promoted by Hippocrates and Galen. It’s hard to find somebody who does not enjoy being pampered. I started with a “selfie” on my calf muscles, which were stony hard from ballet pointe shoes, but soon I got smart and had somebody else do it for me! In Ancient Rome, indulgence was a superlong massage. Newborns in India, see all good mothers lovingly touching their babies all day long (Karmic opposite of a Romanian orphanage). But here’s a caution (from someone who’s been exposed to a variety of massage for almost 50 years on both sides of the table) a session longer than 90-120 minutes can produce undesirable side effects: neck stiffness, sacroiliac joint and low back compression, reduced body temperature, mental dullness, low blood pressure, instability … and even laziness! Plus, your therapist may start to run out of cream, conversation, music, bladder storage, energy, patience and compassion. Jaruska Solyova, M.A. E-RYT 500 La JoLLa resident since 1986

By Ashley MAckin his Labor Day weekend, more than 200 swimmers will take to the UCSD Canyonview Aquatic Complex for 24 hours of swimming during the inaugural Swim24 event, a fundraiser for the San Diego Junior Lifeguard (SDJL) Foundation. A Swim24 event that same weekend was also scheduled for La Jolla High School’s Coggan Pool, but was postponed. Teams of one, two, six or 12 swimmers — some of which still have openings for individuals who would like to join a team — will swim laps in relay from noon Saturday, Aug. 30 until noon Sunday, Aug. 31. Each team must have one member in the pool the entire 24 hours, but the duration each person swims is up to each team. “This event is designed for swimmers of all ages and abilities, so each team gets to decide among themselves how often they alternate, based on each swimmer,” said Blair Cannon, cofounder of Swim24. “One team might decide to swap swimmers every 500 yards, or every hour, or decide to have their stronger swimmers go for three hours and their less-than strong swimmers for one hour.” Event proceeds go to the SDJL Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, and are dedicated to the “Water Proofing San Diego” initiative. Through the Water Proofing program, the Foundation provides free aquatic safety education programs for San Diego schools, gives free swim lessons to all students in grades 3-6, and a takes
cause of accidental death among youth worldwide, Cannon said, “We want to ensure all children, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have the opportunity to learn how to swim.” It costs approximately $100 to teach one child how to swim with formal instruction, so each swimmer on a team is required to raise at least $100. Teams are tasked with raising at least $1,200 each. Each pre-existing team has its own fundraising page at Swim24.org/teams and donations are still being accepted. Awards will be given to teams and individuals that raise more than the minimum. Each swimmer earns one point for every $10 raised and one point for every 500 meters swam, and the team with the most points at the end of 24 hours wins the Overall Winning Team Award (Cannon hinted there would be opportunities for extra points during the late/middle-of-the-night hours). There are also awards for the highest individual fundraiser, best youth participation and farthest distance swam. Participants who’d like to join a team may sign up by Aug. 23 by contacting Katie@Enduragive.org Those who want observe are welcome at any time during the 24-hour event. Volunteers are also needed for set up, tear down, check-in and other tasks. “We are going to make it a fun, familyoriented event,” Cannon said.

It’s a continuum of aquatic safety training and getting kids comfortable in the water and comfortable in the ocean.” Reporting that drowning is the No. 2

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL
By Ed PiPEr utside hitter-blocker Clare Farley (who graduated from La Jolla High School in June and this fall is headed to MIT, where she will continue to play the game), participated in the Senior All-Star Volleyball Game at Scripps Ranch High earlier this summer with La Jolla Country Day School’s Arela Williams. “The girls were very high-energy and the match was fast-paced and exciting,” said Farley, who played Vikings volleyball in coach Dave Jones’ program for four years and who looks back fondly on her years with her high school teammates. (Jones was also extended the honor of coaching in the all-star match.) Farley is also reflective about being the middle child in a family of achievers. Her older sister, Ryan, starred on the Vikings’ volleyball team two years ahead of her, and her younger brother, Reed (just finishing his freshman year), had an outstanding season as a starter on the Vikings’ varsity basketball team. “Being the middle child in my family has always been a source of motivation for me,” Farley said. “I’ve been inspired by my sister’s
O
many achievements and always strove to be the athlete and competitor that she is. In the same way, I would also like to inspire my younger brother to work hard.” Farley, recognized as a scholar-athlete last Fall with a 4.64 grade-point average), celebrates the achievements of her brother at his games, and expresses admiration for her sister, who attends and plays volleyball at Williams College in Massachusetts. Coach Jones said of her contributions to the team, which made it into the CIF Division I playoffs last fall: “She was a coach on the floor, in addition to being an outstanding individual athlete herself.” Farley usually set up on the left end of the net in her hitter-blocker position. Although not tall, her jumping ability definitely helped her deliver some killer spikes. In her senior year came a dramatic change in role. She moved into a captain’s spot, mothering a very young squad. She had to juggle the responsibilities of serving as a big sister to her teammates as well as continuing as an effective hitter-blocker. Coach Jones said she did it with aplomb, giving her all to a sport she loves. u

What brought you to La Jolla? We passed through La Jolla on a family vacation in 1988. On our return to Canada, as the temperature dropped and colors faded, we dreamed of living in La Jolla one day. It took us 20 years. With our two sons successfully launched, and with clients spread around the globe, we decided that it was time to pursue our dream. Fortunately, my husband was born in San Francisco while my father-in-law completed his medical residency at Stanford, before being whisked back to Canada. So, with the sponsorship of my “American” husband, I was able to immigrate (from Canada) with relative ease. My neighbor, Norm, who has lived in La Jolla for more than 30 years, leans over my fence every day and asks if I am thankful for the privilege of living in the best place on Earth. My answer is always a resounding, “YES!”

La Jollan’s idea for documenting sign language marks 40 years By AShLey MAckin t is a common misconception, says La Jollan Valerie Sutton, that American Sign Language (ASL) is a gesture-based literal translation of the English language. “American Sign Language is nothing like English and it is not ‘English on your hands,’ ” she informs. “Sign languages are sophisticated languages with their own syntax, grammar and structure.” So when it comes to reading (or writing) for the millions around the world who use ASL as their primary language — such as those born deaf or to deaf parents — learning English is really like learning a second language. “There are all kinds of deaf people with varying levels of ability, but those who never learned written English had been totally cut off from the literature they
I
Happy Summer, La Jolla! How lucky we are!
deserve,” she said, noting that sign language was the only language without a form of documentation. But for the last 40 years, there’s been an alternative, a method of reading and writing sign language Sutton developed and calls “SignWriting,” which has spread and been adapted around the world. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of its development, Sutton hosted the inaugural SignWriting Symposium, online July 21-24, with representatives from 12 countries presenting how SignWriting is being used in their lands.

Let Inga Tell You
A lesson I learned from the Den
S
La Jolla Cultural Partners
omehow (an attack of divorce guilt, I think), I ended up becoming a Cub Scout Den Leader for my older son, Rory’s, den. It really wasn’t all that easy to find activities that I could do as a single mom with sons. They’d be willing to go to the occasional movie with me, and I could be a manager of youth sports teams, but even the latter didn’t give me much oneon-one time with the boys. They really weren’t interested in lunch and shopping. And that was probably a good thing. But Scouting worked well. They were stuck with me on a regular basis, not only at den meetings, but to fulfill badge requirements. So there was a lot of potential quality time, potential being the operative word. I will say that first den was a tough crowd and a huge learning curve. Nineyear-old boys en masse are not known for their delicacy. Meetings were started with the Pledge of Allegiance, the Cub Scout Promise (“Do Your Best!”), and the admonition that anyone comparing anyone else’s face to other parts of his anatomy and/or an excremental function, got to sit out on the porch until his mother came.
One of my fears about being a Scout leader was that I was no good at crafts or even rudimentary Scouting skills. I never did learn knots, in spite of spending considerable time using the rabbit-goesaround-the-tree-and-through-the-hole method. (My rabbits always went around the wrong tree, got tangled up and hung themselves.) But it was also more fun than I imagined, too. I got to meet lots of other parents (some of them good friends to this day), took on my younger son Henry’s dens as well, and ultimately ended up running the whole program. Not long ago, I was at a birthday lunch at Sammy’s with three other women, all of whose sons were in my younger son Henry’s Cub Scout den. I was recalling one of the meetings that took place at my house one September afternoon while we worked on our water safety badge in my pool. One of the tricks I taught the kids was a Navy survival technique that a military parent had taught in Rory’s den whereby if you needed to abandon a sinking ship and didn’t have a life preserver, you could take off your pants, knot the legs, and jump in holding the pants upside down over your head. The
One of my fears about being a Scout leader was that I was no good at crafts or even rudimentary Scouting skills. I never did learn knots … pants would fill with air as you jumped and voila! instant life preserver! I thought they would think this was incredibly cool. They did not. A hand went up immediately. What if there were girls on the boat? I was initially touched by the concern for the welfare of persons who might be weaker, or perhaps wearing dresses and not pants. I quickly came up with an adaptation for skirts, concluding I was a total genius. But I notice the kids are still not happy. After some additional queries, it was determined that the issue regarding the opposite sex, shared unanimously by all members of the den, was this: They would see you in your underwear. Nope, no concern for the girls at all. After some additional discussion, it was decided that
Nine-year-old boys en masse are not known for their delicacy. every man has to decide in his own heart whether he’d rather drown or have girls see him in his skivvies. It was clear from their faces which one these kids would choose. And I thought there were no fates worse than death. Now, some 25 years later, all these guys are married, half have children, the rest likely will soon. Somewhere along the line they overcame the morbid fear of a girl seeing them in their underwear (or less). Nay, I think we can conclude that they have even embraced the idea. All of us grandchildren-coveting moms agreed that this was good news. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

By Kelley Carlson Bar has been delighting ‘Diegans for two years as a dessert, drink and dining destination. Located in the heart of Hillcrest, the restaurant is a hub of social activity, in a space worthy of a regional architectural Orchid Award. Guests dine under high ceilings and skylights, but when it comes to seating, the 30-foot-long dessert bar — where patrons can watch pastry chefs prepare tantalizing confections — is the icing on the cake. “We’re trying to create a comfortable, personal dining experience,” said Executive Pastry Chef Keegan Gerhard, who owns D Bar with his wife, Lisa Bailey. “We want a place where people can let their guard down, relax and create fond memories.” D Bar’s menu complements such a setting, featuring comfort foods with a fun twist. One appetizer that has been offered since Gerhard and Bailey opened their flagship location in Denver is the D Bar Dates, comparable to bacon candy. Another favorite — a simple summertime “go-to” that pairs well with a glass of chilled wine — is the Dressed Avocado, seasoned with cracked pepper, sea salt, mirin, extra virgin olive oil and lime, and served with a salad.

n This week’s recipe:
D Bar’s Southern Fried Belgian 2.0 sauces and corn pico; and the Crüe Fries, covered in cheeses, bacon, chives and ranch. One of the beloved entrees is the Southern Fried Belgian 2.0, which has been featured on ABC’s “The Chew.” A lightly fried chicken breast is sandwiched between a “fun bun” of waffles dressed with Tillamook cheddar, accompanied by sweet potato fries. Among the other popular dishes are Pizza Salad Sandwich, Bacon Mac ‘n’ Cheese and Kobe Sliders on house-made brioche. However, patrons haven’t fully experienced D Bar until they’ve had a dessert. Gerhard is a master of the craft, having been named one of the nation’s top pastry chefs on multiple occasions, and Bailey has also been
lauded for her culinary prowess. Their signature is the Cake and Shake, which can easily be a treat for two. The generously sized slice of cake contains 64 percent Madagascar chocolate, which has a tropical, fruity undertone and comes with a mini milkshake (or malt) topped with crunchy chocolate pearls. There are also fruit-filled fantasies, from the Poco Coco Loco (a passion fruit-andcoconut parfait with basil), to the Strawberries ‘n’ Cream with vanilla bean sponge cake, oven-roasted strawberry ice cream over candied almonds, and vanilla Chantilly. If it’s hard to narrow the choices, there’s A Little Sumpin’ Sweet with an assortment of delectables, such as salted caramel French macaroons and haystack candy. Desserts can also be transformed into cocktails. How about a Birthday Cake Shot, instead of a slice? The bartenders can custom-blend just about anything one’s heart desires. For those who prefer non-alcoholic beverages, a must-try is the D Bar Signature Vanilla Lemonade — it’s sweet, but not overly so, and the vanilla bean neutralizes the acidity. Additionally, there’s an afternoon tea where for $30 per person, patrons can sip on Allegro teas while nibbling on savory bites, scones and pastries. u

From SignWriting, B1
Understanding SignWriting ■ Arguing that SignWriting is not a new language, but rather a way to write down pre-existing languages, creator Valerie Sutton said the symbols used are similar to the alphabet. “It’s international in the same way the Roman alphabet is international — the same symbols (letters) are used to spell out words but they are in different languages. With SignWriting, the movements may be similar, but they do not always mean the same thing. It has to be applied to the language you already know,” Sutton said. In ASL, for example, the sign for “cook” is a flipping motion like one was flipping a hamburger patty or a pancake. In other countries, the sign is a stirring motion, like someone stirring a pot. But because the graphics do not correlate with any one verbal language, they could be adapted to any sign language.

Country by country Frost and Sutton collaborated with other chairpersons to host the SignWriting Symposium, through which 40 presentations were given, explaining how SignWriting is being adopted for sign languages worldwide. “SignWriting is blowing up in Brazil,” Sutton said. “It is becoming a requirement for teachers who want to teach Brazilian Sign Language to learn SignWriting. At the Symposium, there were 12 presentations from Brazil given by 16 presenters, and half of them use sign language as their native language.” One of the presentations from Brazil detailed the long process of having a SignWriting dictionary published.

occur when someone is signing. For example, an open hand palm up is portrayed with an outline of a rectangle with a triangulated point, like a post on a picket fence. An open hand palm down has the same shape, but is filled in. If the hand is turned to the side, it is half filled in. An asterisk above a symbol represents signs that involve the hands touching, and arrows indicate the direction hands might move for a certain sign. UC San Diego adjunct ASL professor Adam Frost, who has been deaf since birth, explained via e-mail, “ASL and English are two very different languages just like English and Spanish are. Sure, there are some things that can be easily translated between the two, but then there are things that are just lost in translation. Any bilingual will tell you that.” Coming up through the English-based education system, “There were several concepts that I just could not grasp because English is based on sounds, which are not accessible to me,” Frost wrote. “I ended up trying to find connections on my own from what I did understand about languages from ASL.” For Frost, discovering SignWriting allowed for better documentation of his thoughts. “Since ASL and English are different, it was very difficult to be able to take what I expressed in ASL and write that into English,” he said, noting that he still finds difficulty from time to time. Frost used to video-record his thoughts in ASL in a visual journal and

The company is relocating from offices they have occupied in Stonecrest in Kearny Mesa for the past 10 years. “Moss Adams wanted to upgrade their platform and relocate to a more central location where they could better serve their clientele and create a more collaborative environment for their professionals,” Dodd said. “ID Studios designed their new space to sustain their current needs and ability to grow their firm well into the future.” Moss Adams will move into its new space the first quarter of 2015. u

What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would like to see people demonstrating even more respect and compassion for each other. I believe the only way we can resolve the differences that currently polarize us is by being open-minded enough to stand in the shoes of those with whom we disagree. I am troubled by the amount of money and energy that are brought to bear on issues that pale in comparison to the human needs that surround us.

now available in SignWriting and her experience translating the entire New Testament of the Bible into SignWriting. In Tunisia, software is being developed that uses virtual avatars to interpret SignWriting, which creators will call TuniSigner. Other countries represented include Germany, Honduras, Paraguay, Canada, France and Italy. Hoping to make the digital gathering an annual event, Sutton said presenters have already signed up for the 2015 Symposium.
After its success, the University of Copenhagen Sign Language Research Lab called her in 1974 to see if she could develop her dance writing system to record the movements of sign language. When she returned to the United States, she brought SignWriting with her and began working with deaf people here. Hosting the Symposium and seeing how far it has come since then, she said, was “enough to make you cry, it was just so amazing.” u
SignWriting by Sutton
n In order to continue the online Symposium, Sutton said donations to pay for sign translators and IT support would be helpful. Sutton currently pays for their services herself. Contributions to the 501(c) (3) nonprofit can be made by calling (858) 456-0098 or visiting SignWriting.org/donate
The concept for SignWriting actually started internationally. When Sutton was studying ballet in Denmark in the early 1970s, she developed a way to document body movement to assist with the language barrier, using similar graphics as SignWriting.
Who or what inspires you? Children playing at the beach inspire me. Every day in the Shores is different — the sand, the waves, and the sunsets. I love to watch the children playing there… I’m especially inspired by their openness, readiness to explore and ability to be fully present. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? My immediate family is spread across three countries and my greatest joy would be to have us all together – that makes six, so not much room for extra guests. Rounding out this intimate gathering, I’d include my late father who didn’t live to see me graduate and never got to meet his amazing grandsons and great grandson. The next night, here’s who I’d invite for leftovers: The Dalai Lama, Albert Einstein,
Marge Piercy, Golda Meir, Margaret Atwood, Mel Brooks and Don Isaac Abravanel (brilliant scholar, advisor to Spanish royalty and refugee). What are you reading? I just started “Americanah,” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It’s about immigration, race, success and love across three continents. What is your most-prized possession? I’m not that interested in possessions, but do have one that is particularly meaningful to me. It’s the gavel that my maternal grandmother used when she presided over a Toronto women’s benevolent society in the early 1930s. What do you do for fun? I swim in the ocean, walk the beach, hike and get together with friends for conversation over good food. What is it that you most dislike? Nothing really, I focus on the positive … it’s all about making the best of the hand you’re dealt, seeing the potential for good in everyone, and asking what can be learned from difficulties I might encounter. What is your motto in life? Stay in the light! What would be your dream vacation? I’m living my dream vacation every day right here in La Jolla Shores. u

Sophie Tucker pic starts Jewish Film Fest’s Silver Anniversary

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Sophie Tucker. The name isn’t exactly a household word now, but I remember seeing her on television when I was growing up. She was a hefty, white-haired woman in her 70s by then, and her bawdy style was sanitized for TV, but she was still a star, called “The Last of the Red-Hot Mamas.” Bette Midler named her daughter Sophie after this rough-tongued singer-comedian, who was one of Midler’s early inspirations. The child of Russian-Jewish immigrants, Sophie Kalish (her better-known last name came from her first husband) started entertaining in her parents’ Connecticut restaurant, and made her first appearance on a New York stage in 1907 — in blackface. Two years later, wearing her own face, she went on to The Ziegfeld Follies; by the roaring ’20s, she had become a huge recording star, whose success spread to Europe and England, where she sang for King George V and Queen Mary. In the 1930s, she had her own radio show, and continued performing all the rest of her life. Today, you can hear her singing her breakout hit, “Some of these days,” on YouTube, but better still, you can see a whole movie about her life and times at the Jewish Community Center in La Jolla on Aug. 14. The premiere of “The Outrageous Sophie Tucker” will be the kickoff event for the San Diego Jewish Film Festival, which celebrates its silver anniversary next Feb. 5-15. The film features Barbara Walters, Carol Channing,
Michael Feinstein, Tony Bennett and many others, and of course, includes archival footage of the Red Hot Mama herself. Producers Lloyd and Susan Ecker, who spent seven years digging up inside stories about Tucker’s 60-year career, will be at the screening, and will lead a discussion afterward. Their source material was a stash of scrapbooks Tucker had meticulously kept all her life. These provided not only enough visuals to flesh out a movie, but enough information for a book titled, “I Am Sophie Tucker,” which they will introduce and sign later in the evening. SDJFF’s Craig Prater, who formerly helmed the Palm Springs International Film Festival and is now in his second year as Festival Director here, talked about his reasons for selecting “Sophie Tucker” to kick off the Silver Season. “I always like to start with a film that’s fun and entertaining and makes people feel good,” he said. “Even if you’ve never heard of Sophie Tucker, you’ll know everyone who’s interviewed in the movie, and you’ll certainly be able to relate to her music and all the things she said and did.” Prater promises the 2015 festival will be bigger and better than ever, and include audience favorites from the past 25 years. u n IF YOU GO: “The Outrageous Sophie Tucker,” 7:15 p.m. Aug. 17, at Jewish Community Center’s Garfield Theater, 4126 Executive Drive.

Weather cancels Jewel Ball, but can’t dampen crew spirits By ViNCENt ANDRUNAS lthough La Patronas had to cancel its 68th annual Jewel Ball, “Moonlit Mambo,” at 5 p.m. aug. 2 — due to persistent rains that caused danger from wet electrical wiring, slippery floor surfaces and the threat of lightning — the food was sent back to the Hyatt (frozen), and later distributed to La Jolla charity and 2013 beneficiary “so Others May Eat.” Las Patronas ladies and their husbands (the “Lost Patrons”), who had by then finished about 95 percent of the Cuban-themed ball setup, began to tear it all back down. Organizers paused for a little reception, 6-8 p.m., at which they were joined by guests who were either unaware of the cancellation, or (in most cases) received the call but wanted to come and see the décor and support those who worked so hard to make the event happen. the La Jolla beach & tennis Club (which donates the venue each year) laid out a buffet of shrimp, sushi, fine cheeses and cold cuts, and a bar served wine and cocktails. u

But it’s his little brother, George, who’s most renowned as the composer of countless hits and numerous Broadway shows. Still, a song is not a song without the words to sing, and George’s older brother wrote the lyrics for most of his songs. Nearly two years after its world premiere at the North Coast Repertory Theater (NCRT) in Solana Beach, “Words by Ira Gershwin” is back, once again giving the lesser-known brother a chance to be heard. “The insight into who he is, is interesting, and the music is incredible,” promised NCRT artistic director David Ellenstein. The musical was written by Joe Vass, a Minnesota-based author and composer, who first created a tribute to George Gershwin in “The Soul of Gershwin: The Musical Journey of an American Klezmer.” The hit debuted at the now-defunct Coconut Grove Playhouse in Florida. When Vass brought “Words by Ira Gershwin” to a producer at Coconut Grove Playhouse, the producer contacted Ellenstein.
Some of Ira Gershwin’s Tunes n ‘The Man I Love’ (1924) n ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’ (1926) n ‘Embraceable You’ (1928) n ‘I Got Rhythm’ (1930) n ‘They Can’t Take That Away from Me’ (1937) Having worked with him before, the producer suggested the play and NCRT might be a perfect match. “The reviews were good and the audiences liked it a lot,” said Ellenstein, noting its 2012 fourweek run at North Coast Rep was extended an extra week. “Some people came back and saw it more than once.” After its debut, Vass and Ellenstein took the play to the 380-seat Park Square Theatre in St. Paul, Minnesota, where it ran for five weeks at the end of 2013 with a different cast and band. At the start of 2014, Ellenstein
directed the play for four weeks at Portland Stage Company in Maine. Once again, he worked with a new band, but this time, Nicholas Mongiardo-Cooper, who debuted as Ira Gershwin in Solana Beach, returned to the role. Mongiardo-Cooper is portraying Gershwin for NCRT’s revival. “It’s kind of gone through changes,” Ellenstein said. “It’s been refined and altered in some ways — not drastically, but just little things to make it better.” This isn’t the last time Ellenstein is set to direct the play. “Words by Ira Gershwin” will make its Los Angeles debut April 18-May 17, 2015 at the Colony Theatre in Burbank. “It’s exciting to watch things we start move on so others can embrace them and do them their own way,” Ellenstein said. “It makes me feel like North Coast Rep has become the creator for world premieres, right here in Solana Beach.” u n IF YOU GO: “Words by Ira Gershwin” runs through Aug. 24 at North Coast Repertory Theater, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, Solana Beach. Tickets $40-$51 at (858) 481-1055 or northcoastrep.org

s back-to-school approaches, parents need some gustatory coaching so children will be fueled, focused and nourished for the long school day.
Budding Taste Buds According to Dr. Alan Hirsch, a Chicago neurologist and founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, children have a more refined sense of smell than adults. This translates to a heightened sense of taste, along with an ability to detect underlying flavors. Foods for Focus and Fuel Certain foods can dial up attention by keeping brain cells on their toes, so amp up omega-3 fatty acid blockbusters like wild salmon fish sticks, crab cake sliders and fish tacos. Nuts and nut butters, especially walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds get an A+ for their brain-boosting omega-3’s. Walnuts have also been found to hike melatonin levels, one of the sleep-regulating
hormones in the body. Munch on these soporific treats as a bedtime snack to be well rested in the a.m. A purple powerhouse, blueberries are packed with antioxidants and phytochemicals for re-charging memory and cognitive processing. Toss them in muffins, breads, bars, or eat them straight up. Refreshing mint has been linked to greater concentration and the ability to recall information. Before a quiz, kids should sip a cool swig of mint-infused H2O to boost test scores. Also pack foods to fuel their engines like beans, legumes or hummus loaded with protein, iron, magnesium and selenium. Avocados can be cleverly disguised as guacamole — a load of Vitamin C and potassium. Eggs, a great protein-Vitamin B12 source are all they’re cracked up to be whether devilled, fried in a hole, baked in avocados, done as southwest breakfast burritos or as mini frittata sliders.
Think Outside the Lunchbox
n Italian Vinaigrette Ingredients • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar • 1 garlic clove, crushed • 1 teaspoon lemon juice • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard n Method: • Whisk vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate. In a mixing bowl, toss the salad ingredients, except the croutons. Transfer to a portable container. Put the croutons and dressing in separate containers and toss before eating.
Do Bento-style boxes with compartmental sections to house everything from real or faux sushi pinwheels with nut butters or cheeses to Crayola colorful carrot curls, marinated cucumber spears, seasoned jicama sticks, confetti fruit salad and creamy yogurt dip, a natural probiotic that promotes intestinal health. Have your kids be the sous chefs and fill the containers with their faves. Plant a garden and have them pick fresh organic herbs or vegetables to include in lunches. Provide them with a fun lesson on nutrition, farm to table ethos and sustainability.
Let kids help with a menu plan using ethnic themes for different days of the week. On Mediterranean Mondays do pita and hummus with a Greek salad, an Italian feast on Tuesdays with foccacia pizzas, and a Mexican fiesta of veggie quesadillas and guacamole on Wednesdays. Have a yen for Asian on Thursdays with a Chinese chicken salad and chocolate dipped fortune cookie, while on Yankee Doodle Fridays pack an almond butter and jam sandwich. u — For more school lunch suggestions, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
sponsored columns Psychological Society’s Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology. According to Dr. Tuckey’s conclusions, more clinical psychologist research needs to be done as to the role of the 858.750.6669 organizations involved in workplace harassment. Too often, the focus is solely on the persons involved (victim and harasser). Tuckey stresses the importance of this Workplace harassment can’t simply Dr. further research because of the far-reaching be Blamed on personality clashes impact that workplace harassment has. “For individuals, adverse impacts include It may be easier to say that harassment in greater mental health problems, more the workplace is due solely to personality physical health complaints, greater burnout clashes – that person A and person B simply have two conflicting personality types. It’s not and, in the worst case scenario, suicide.” Dr. that simple, however. In most cases, the cause Tucker also points out that the individual is not the only one affected. “Organizations also of harassment is the workplace itself; it’s the lose out – they face compensation costs, environment the people are working in, not higher turnover, and lower job satisfaction the people. and commitment to work.” Dr. Michelle Tuckey of the University of “Research shows workplace harassment is South Australia (UniSA) published her generally not an issue of personality conflicts findings earlier this year in the British
stephen pfeiffer, ph.d.
but rather a reflection of the whole organizational system.” This conclusion and call for more research came as a result of Dr. Tuckey and colleague Annabelle Neal’s thorough and far-reaching review of workplace harassment literature written over the last three decades. “Eighty-five percent of studies only include information from one data source – most commonly the target or victim,” Dr. Tuckey states. “Research looking into workplace harassment from multiple perspectives, such as witnesses and supervisors, will provide a better understanding of what factors are associated with workplace harassment.” Seeing as how up to 12% of employees may be exposed to harassment at any one time, the need for more research as to the organization’s role in enabling or preventing harassment is pertinent. Dr. Tuckey states that, “In order to design
better prevention initiatives, we need to discover more about the process involved in harassment situations.” Ultimately, this additional research can aid in prevention, which Dr. Tuckey believes is most vital. “Prevention needs to take place at a number of levels. Organizations must have a clear bullying and harassment policy, and clear channels for resolving conflict before it escalates. In addition, senior management should build a culture that reinforces respectful behavior and gives workers a voice to quickly resolve threats to mental health and well-being.” Harassment in the workplace should not be tolerated by the individual or the organization.

4,200 Snoopy license plates sold, 3,300 more needed for production
T
o help generate funds for the California’s museums, pre-order an official Snoopy license plate, featuring a reproduction of an iconic Snoopy drawing by Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz and the phrase “museums are for everyone.” As soon as 7,500 are sold, the DMV will start producing Snoopy plates and 1,400 California museums will have a new funding source. Snoopy was chosen as an ambassador for museums because his well-rounded life and interests exemplify the kind of life-long learning that museums make possible. Snoopy is also a real life mascot for aviation and space, with a lunar module in the U.S. Apollo space program named after him.
The Snoopy plate is also an opportunity to commemorate Santa Rosa cartoonist and cultural icon Charles Schulz. His widow, Jean Schulz, founder of the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, is allowing access to the drawing for this special plate. If enough pre-paid orders aren’t received by late January 2015, the California Cultural and Historical Endowment (CCHE), will either refund plate orders or, with the permission of the purchasers, retain funds to extend the campaign for a second year. Snoopy license plates are $50 initially ($40 per year to renew) and available at snoopyplate.com Purchasers may also choose to have the plate personalized for $98 the first year ($78 to renew). A portion is tax deductible. u
