By Pat Sherman Beginning in December, harbor seals at Children’s Pool/Casa Beach will have more breathing room to give birth and nurse their young — while divers, swimmers and spear-fishers will have to find another spot to enter the ocean during winter. The California Coastal Commission (CCC) voted unanimously last week to close the beach during the harbor seals’ five-month pupping season, Dec. 15May 15. Before casting her SEAL WATCH vote at the Aug. 14 CCC hearing at the Catamaran Resort in Mission Beach, former San Diego resident and Coastal Commission ViceChair Jana Zimmer recalled how she brought her son to swim at Children’s Pool when he was a toddler — before the seal colony took hold in the mid-1990s. “We had wonderful days there,” she said. “It was a perfect beach for a small child, but it isn’t anymore. It makes me sad, but sometimes when external circumstances change, especially when nature speaks, we just have to learn to accept it, adapt to it and move on.” The CCC’s vote was in accordance with its staff’s recommendation to approve the closure via a coastal development permit and amendment to the

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Wet Wild Wedding Wallop

elinda Mayberry took these wedding photos of Sergio Capozzi and Gina Pageot Aug. 9 in La Jolla and the images have gone viral on the Internet. Mayberry writes: “We decided to grab the bride and groom and take some sunset pictures on the cliffs. We shot for about 15 minutes and then the bride, Gina, said she sees another good spot, and she and Sergio take off for it. As we were making our way to the spot, they got hit by a small wave! We all stopped and stared with our jaws dropped open,

but they laughed and said ‘Screw it! Let’s keep going!’ We were super excited and let them do their thing with the waves, shooting the comical scene. They had no problem getting soaked — laughing the whole time. There were hundreds of onlookers cheering them on and taking pictures as well. We walked back to the reception at La Jolla Coves Suites and the DJ reintroduced them to the party and the bride and groom went right to dancing — soaked and all! It was amazing.” u Photos courtesy of Belinda Mayberry

during the Pacific Coast Builders Conference. The mural joins 12 others installed throughout the Village, for which the Athenaeum offers regular guided tours. “We are honored we are allowed to oversee the Murals of La Jolla program. It has made us many friends and the large crowds at the monthly tours show great local interest,” Athenaeum Executive Director Erika Torri said, in a release. “It is especially gratifying that several of the artists chosen have shown their work at the Athenaeum.” Brookes studied biochemistry at Colorado State University and spent much of his earlier career as a scientist before embarking on a career as a full-time artist. Building owners Amy and Horacio Valeiras were in Atlanta when the mural was installed, though speaking with La Jolla Light Amy Valeiras said she has received positive feedback from others who have viewed it. “I’ve been told it makes (the building) look very bright and cheerful,” said Valeiras, a ceramics artist who operates Threefoot Clay Studio on the first floor (husband Horacio’s business, HAV Capital, occupies the second level). “When I first saw the mural I said this really feels like the ’60s,” Amy Valeiras said, noting her surprise when she learned it is inspired by Brookes’ knowledge of molecular structure. “I’m definitely looking forward to seeing it when I get back today.” Brookes said the undulating patterns in his acrylic on canvas artwork (reproduced as a framed vinyl mural), were also inspired by the meditative and artistic process — which, for him, are inherently connected. “Creation is the meditative process,” said Brookes, a Denver native and former Bird Rock resident who incorporates meditation into his daily routine. Brookes’ work has been exhibited at Quint Gallery and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla, and has appeared on album covers for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Flaming Lips. This is his first public art installation. u n Find more details on the Murals of La Jolla public-art series at LJAthenaeum.org and MuralsofLaJolla.com

Town Council hears idea for increasing community engagement La Jolla Town Council Soriano up on her offer. A 22-year resident of Sea Lane, Dunfee attended the meeting to relay issues with police response times in the area. “Within the last year, one of our daughters was assaulted while walking with our grandson,” he said. “It took the police 40 minutes to respond to our daughter’s call.” Further, he said the beach near his home has had an influx of people drinking, arguably due to the lack of police presence.

Reporting seeing glass beer bottles left on the beach, drunk drivers, vandalism and fights, Dunfee said he would like to see police drive by the area as part of their route or have a beach patrol officer stationed there. He distributed photos illustrating his concerns and said he contacted City Council District 1 Sherri Lightner’s office, but the response was not to his liking. “They said there was going to be a lifeguard at WindanSea beach (a few blocks from his home), which isn’t going to help the situation,” he said. “It’s just about enforcing the law.” Julio DeGuzman, a representative from the office of the city attorney, regularly in attendance at town council meetings, said he would be meeting with the neighborhood prosecutor at Northern Division the next day and would relay Dunfee’s concerns. After the exchange, Soriano said, “This is exactly what I was hoping to achieve.

Mary Soriano presents her take on how to get more community members to attend La Jolla Town Council meetings.

By Ashley Mackin In their ongoing effort to increase community attendance and engagement, each member of the La Jolla Town Council has been tasked with coming up with one new idea to promote and improve the Council. At the Aug. 14 meeting, those in attendance heard council trustee Mary Soriano’s take on ways get residents and business owners in the seats at meetings. Soriano said she went out to neighbors and members of the community to invite them to the meeting so they could air any local concerns they might have. “When you come to these meetings, there is feedback,” she said. “If you, as someone from La Jolla — whether that be a resident or business owner — come here to speak, you will be heard, there will be feedback and people will want to help.” One such resident, Gordon Dunfee, took

This is not a new idea; it’s what I think we, as a council, should do. We should reach out to the community and make them feel welcome and like they can express themselves if they come to the meeting.” She later told La Jolla Light that having representatives from local government regularly in attendance helps generate solutions to residents’ problems. Trustees Emiliano De Riquer and Al Ramirez were scheduled to present their ideas at the August meeting, but were not able to attend and will present at a future meeting.

Community Speakers

In other town council news, representatives from Congregation Beth El in La Jolla and Challenged Athletes Foundation updated the council on their programs. • Rabbi Philip Graubart discussed the history of the congregation at 8660 Gilman Drive, and how times have changed for La Jolla’s Jewish community. “There was a time when the feeling was that Jews were not welcome in La Jolla, but this was before I got here,” he said. Based on different reports and accounts from elder members, he said when UC San Diego started, the UC chancellor said there would need to be a more open community, so things changed. “Now we feel welcome and at home here,” he said, adding the congregation has 650 family units, and that as many as 2,500 people attend High Holiday events. “We are a very active community and have events every day, sometimes a few

programs every day. We have events for families, children, teenagers, young adults, empty nesters and seniors, so we become very segmented — but there is a lot that we do together at the synagogue.” CBE.org

One such recipient was McElvenny, a Marine veteran who lost his right leg below the knee after stepping on an improvised explosive device while on deployment in Afghanistan. “The biggest, most frustrating thing was the change in identity,” he said. “One second before the blast, I was strong, I was healthy, I was aggressive. One second after the blast, I was lying on my back in pain and not in control. I was not even confident I was going to live. What had been normal for 28 years had now changed.” He said during his rehabilitation, he set two goals. “One goal was that I wanted to be standing with a prosthetic without assistance when my Marines got back, which I was able to do a few months later; the other was to participate in a triathlon

challenge.” Challenged Athletes Foundation fitted him with a prosthetic running leg and trained him how to run long distances with a prosthetic. In October 2013, McElvenny completed the IronMan triathlon in Kona, Hawaii. “The feeling of crossing that finish line was amazing,” he said. “My new goal is to bring that feeling of confidence and accomplishment to other people.” More information at ChallengedAthletes.org u

• Representing Challenged Athletes, Kristine Entwistle and Eric McElvenny spoke about the upcoming triathlon challenge at the Cove, at which 200 challenged and over 500 able-bodied athletes will compete in a one-mile ocean swim, 10-mile run and 44mile bike ride on Oct. 19. The event raises $1 million annually for adaptive athletic equipment for those in need, and has funded 9,500 grant requests for equipment since its inception 21 years ago, Entwistle said.

elella were recently found along the shore of La Jolla. These freefloating hydrozoans (cousins of the jellyfish) live on the surface of the open ocean and are commonly known by the names sea raft, by-the-wind sailor or purple sail. Most are less than 7-centimeters long. They are usually deep blue in color, but their most obvious feature is a small stiff sail that catches the wind and propels them over the surface of the sea. Under certain wind conditions, they may be stranded on beaches by the thousands. The animals do not have the ability

to retain water so they could get dried up within one to two hours. Velella are carnivorous. They catch their prey, generally plankton, by means of tentacles that hang down in the water. Although the toxins in their nematocysts are effective against their prey, they are relatively benign to humans, although each person may respond differently to contact with the nematocyst toxin. It is wise to avoid touching one’s face or eyes after handling velella, and itching may develop on parts of the skin that have been exposed to velella nematocysts. u — wikipedia

guarded Huntington Beach for 12 summers. Although Uncle James has been with the service for 31 summers, John took a 15-year break to teach summer school, but continued to think about summer days on the beach. When John’s son James joined the lifeguard service four summers ago, John had heard

enough of the stories without being a part of them. “I got tired of hearing them talk about all the things that were happening,” John said, laughing. So three years ago, John joined the lifeguards once again. With just a touch of sibling rivalry, Uncle James was quick to point that he got to be his older brother’s instructor when he

went through the academy. “That was good payback for me. My freshman year of high school, he was a senior and all of his buddies would pick on me, so I got to dole out some punishment,” he joked. “Yeah, that was great fun,” John replied. In addition to his brother, John laughs at the fact that his son has a year of seniority over him in San Diego. “I got to go through the academy the year before my dad did, which I actually sealed the deal for him to come back,” James said.

Better still for the father and son duo is James being stationed at La Jolla Cove (sometimes at South Boomer Beach, just a stone’s throw to the south of the Cove) and John nearby at the satellite station at the end of Marine Street. “I love (guarding the beach at) Marine Street because the crowd changes throughout the day,” John reported. “There is one crowd there in the morning, a different crowd in the day and around 6 p.m. all the locals come by. I love that I know a lot of these people; it’s a good feeling. And besides, I get to work in a place that looks like little Tahiti.” Similarly, James said he enjoys his time at the Cove, which he refers to as “the rocks.” “I love working the rocks; the whole La Jolla Cove area is just different. It’s different from your typical beach and so the rescues are different,” he said. “There are a couple of ways to enter the water you have to know about, which sometimes means jumping off the rocks. And a lot of times, you are on

If there is a call, you have to be the one on it and know what to do.” That’s a sentiment shared by his father. Being alone at a satellite station, or one of few at the site, he said, “there are significant medical calls we respond to and you are in charge for a good chunk of time before backup gets there.” To stay sharp, John said he quizzes himself during downtime. “I ask myself, what if that person right there goes under? What would I say on the radio? What would I get out of the trauma pack? What would I do so there would be a good end to whatever is going on?” he said. James pointed out that someone broke their ankle at the Cove the day before, and

he was the first to attend to them. The smaller beaches of La Jolla — no one more challenging than the other — are managed differently than the larger, more widespread beaches across San Diego, all three Earnest men said. Although guarding Ocean Beach consecutively for 26 years, Uncle James was stationed in La Jolla his rookie year, and even made his first rescue as a San Diego Lifeguard on a scuba diver at the Children’s Pool. “Each beach attracts a different type of beach-goer. Some beaches are known for not having the best swimmers and other beaches attract really great swimmers,” he said. “Some beaches get really crowded, like Mission Beach, which is solid people, and other crowds are smaller because of how

The differences in beach topography and beach attendance make for some interesting after-work banter for the Earnest family, who often sit down at the end of the day and swap stories. Which sometimes means phone calls to grandmother Earnest — with the two brothers telling her who did a better job — and a little ribbing over radio presence and calls. “I let him know when he sounded like a doofus,” John said of his son. “But don’t worry, Megan, we won’t do that to you,” he assured his daughter. Based on stories from the men in her family, Megan, 17, said she isn’t sure where she would like to work, but “La Jolla sounds cool.” Having families participate in the lifeguard service is not uncommon, Uncle James said, because “water people raise water people. There have been numerous fathers and sons, and husbands and wives.

Carmel High School and Uncle James teaches broadcast journalism at Mira Mesa High. But having family in the lifeguard service, John contends, does not lend itself to nepotism. “It’s more like anti-nepotism,” he said, adding family members are thoroughly vetted to make sure they are actually qualified.

alifornia law requires children to receive certain immunizations to attend childcare and school — public and private, kindergarten through grade 12. As part of National Immunization Awareness Month in August, the County Health and Human Services Agency reminds parents to check their children’s immunization records and schedule doctor visits to avoid the last-minute rush for vaccine appointments. The number of pertussis cases confirmed in San Diego County has hit 1,183 to date in 2014, surpassing the previous record high of 1,179 cases in 2010. Children, ages 4-6, are due for boosters of four vaccines: DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis/whooping cough), chickenpox, MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) and polio. Older children, like preteens and teens, need a Tdap booster shot to protect them against tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also recommends that teens get vaccinated against human papilloma virus and meningococcal disease. A yearly flu vaccine is recommended for all children 6 months and older. u

La Jolla Village Merchants Association From Merchants Parking, A1

Coller asked what percentage of the money derived from such parking revenue could be used for things other than parkingrelated improvements such as parking supply and traffic mobility issues. “Parking meter revenue is very limited in what it can be used for,” Councilmember Lightner responded from the audience, noting that 45 cents of every $1 generated from parking goes back to a business improvement district where the meters are installed (such as the Village of La Jolla), though that money is largely restricted to parking improvements per state law, she said. The other 55 percent, she said, “is sequestered by the city.” “The idea that we can use revenue funds to beautify the Village may well not be approved (by the city),” Warwick added. “Should a paid parking program be implemented, I believe our customers will change their shopping practices and go elsewhere, or simply purchase goods online.” However, Krasner said he didn’t feel any revenue-generating option should be precluded from the executive committee analysis. “I take what Ms. Warwick says very seriously, but the study she refers to was over six years ago,” Krasner said, noting that changes in parking station/meter technology since that time may make the prospect more palatable to motorists than it once was. Board president Marengo said meters or parking stations could “constantly be adjusted” to coincide with merchant flows. “It’s a new day,” said board member James Niebling, seconding Krasner’s motion. “I

think as a board we have a responsibility to allow that (conversation). … There might be new information out there that would sway us one way or the other.” “If anything,” Marengo added, “it might confirm what happened six years ago and we move on. … We’re getting approached by different people who are trying to help us and they’re wanting us to change how we’re formed. I need to see if that’s beneficial, the executive committee needs to see if that’s beneficial, and we need to report to you, the board members, what we’ve learned (and recommend for you)… to vote on.” Paid street parking opponent Darcy Ashley, a spokesperson for nopaidparking.org, cautioned “you can now be certain our website is reactivated.” In other LJVMA news n Grant boost: LJVMA Executive Director Sheila Fortune noted LJVMA received $46,900 in Economic Development Tourism Support grant funding from the city, when it had projected receiving $25,000. Last year, the group requested $44,000 though it only received $22,000. n Board candidates announced: Fortune said 16 candidates had filed the required self-nomination form to join the 15-member LJVMA board of directors. There will be 10 seats open in October. An inperson, ballot election will be conducted during the group’s meeting, 8:30 a.m. Oct. 8 at the Cuvier Club. First-time candidates include: Vahid Moradi (C J Charles Jewelers/Panerai Boutique);

Board vice-president Mark Krasner made the motion to ask that the LJVMA executive committee look into the formation of a maintenance assessment district (MAD) or Property Business Improvement District (PBID) “and any other stream that we can think of … so that we can further our purpose in a much stronger manner.” However, when pressed by board member Nancy Warwick of Warwick’s Bookstore as to whether Krasner would exclude the contentious issue of paid on-street parking as a revenue generator, Krasner declined to do so. The issue of charging residents and visitors to pay for on-street parking in La Jolla last came to a head in 2008, during which time a survey found 642 merchants opposed paid street parking and 73 businesses favored it. Warwick came prepared with talking points explaining why she believes the proposal should be excluded from the executive committee’s analysis. Beyond the survey showing more than 90 percent of businesses opposed parking

stations, some 5,000 residents signed petitions in opposition to the plan, and all three candidates running for the San Diego City Council at that time — including current District 1 representative Sherri Lightner (who attended the August meeting) — signed pledges to oppose paid parking. Lightner confirmed she remains opposed to the proposal. Warwick said she fears paid on-street parking would negatively impact some types of businesses, such as retailers, more than others, like high-end restaurants and hotels, which rely on valet parking. She cited a parking study conducted in Portland, Oregon that showed a 20-percent decline in business due to the implementation of paid street parking. “A program that threatens the continued existence of certain types of businesses that are valuable to the wellbeing and wellroundedness of our community is not what we, as elected directors of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association, ought to consider,” Warwick said. “Many people do not consider La Jolla to have a serious parking problem anymore, and paid parking does not have the success rate when installed in neighborhoods where it is not needed,” Warwick added, noting competition from nearby shopping alternatives with free parking, such as malls in UTC and Del Mar Heights. Board member Phil Coller agreed with Warwick that paid street parking would deter residents from shopping in the Village. “The last thing business owners need is a fight with La Jolla residents,” he said.

There are eight two-year-terms and two one-year terms open, with two-year terms going to the top vote recipients. LJVMA will host a meet-the-candidates social hour in September, for which details will be forthcoming, Fortune said. n Cove odor conditions: President Marengo reported the odor from bird and marine mammal excrement at La Jolla Cove is returning, and asked that the city schedule another treatment of microbial foam to digest guano on the bluffs (which, in concert with allowing people access to the bluffs, seems to be managing the oncepervasive stench). “I was there to visit our café (Goldfish Point Café on Coast Boulevard) and I can tell you it was awful,” Marengo said. “I

would like to push Councilmember Lightner’s office to see if we can get another hit on that — and quickly.”

vehicle 40-80 miles. n PDO discussion: Fortune noted an excess of commercial development projects approved by the city for process 1 (or ministerial) permits, which she said are not making their way to the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (PDO) community advisory committee. Although these overthe-counter permit holders are not required to go through the discretionary review process with La Jolla’s advisory groups, Fortune said the committee is looking for a way to have these applicants present their projects as an information-only item to the PDO group. “We continue to have a lot of issues with signs not being approved properly, according to the La Jolla Community Plan,” she said, noting that many businesses are opening with neon signs or facades that are not a color allowed by La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance, or blueprint for development. Marengo said the objective is not to take away people’s right to obtain a process 1 permit. “We want to facilitate our merchants and make sure that they get (approved) easily and fast, but we would ask if they could (present their plans informally),” he said. “If they were subject to a violation afterward, they were at least informed by our group. We can at least help (guide) them in the right direction and show them what their options are.” u

n Media partner sought: Marengo asked the board to approve the executive committee obtaining a media partner for LJVMA. “We keep waffling in our appearances to the public, and I think we need to counterbalance that independently with a good media partner,” he said. “In our efforts to promote ourselves we need a good outreach for the La Jolla Village Merchants Association — its acts, its projects and … what it does for its merchants.” The board unanimously approved the motion, made by Berwin and seconded by Coller. n Electric vehicle charging station: Andy Hoskinson of NRG eVgo company electric car charging stations, spoke about his company’s quest to establish a charging station in or near the Village. The company, which operates the Encina Power Station in Carlsbad and a 26-megawatt solar power field in the Anza-Borrego Desert, is in the process of establishing “freedom stations” or “fast chargers” throughout the San Diego region. “The program focuses on building the electric vehicle (charging station) infrastructure at places like office properties and (residential) communities,” which is subsidized by the California Public Utilities Commission, he said. NRG has “freedom station” chargers at locations such as Westfield Mission Valley Mall and the Flower Hill Promenade in Del Mar.

and fundraising initiatives. “Sanford-Burnham’s agile structure, no-barriers science, and partnership approach are key drivers of innovation and are extremely attractive to me,” Dr. Nisen said. “I am excited to join a team of talented scientists who are committed to highyield research.” The position of CEO had been held on an interim basis by Kristiina Vuori, M.D., Ph.D., who is president of Sanford-Burnham, professor in its National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Center, and Pauline and Stanley Foster Presidential Chair. She will continue to lead the scientific, academic, and general operations of the Institute. u

Sand Sculpting Festival set for Labor Day Weekend

an Diego City Council President Todd Gloria will hand out awards at the U.S. Sand Sculpting Challenge and 3D Art Exposition, 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30. The event is open to the public throughout the four-day Labor Day weekend, Aug. 29-Sept. 1, and is held on a built-for-the-occasion beach on the B Street cruise terminal pier on downtown’s Big Bay. 2014 is its third year at that location, which sculptors have called one of the most creative atmospheres on the planet. Renowned artists come from Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Latvia, Canada and even Singapore to challenge some of the best sand carvers in the United States from Key West to Seattle. There’s $60,000 at stake and a lot of national pride. After years of planning and more than a year of construction, the Port expects the beautiful wide esplanade at the base of the pier to be open to the public in time for the big event. While sandcastles stretch westward nearly 1,000 feet into the bay, some of downtown’s grandest castles in the sky lie to the East across Harbor Drive.

among them can learn how to build sandcastles and the older can slide down the “Cliffhanger,” bungie jump. A portion of event proceeds will go to four children’s educational charities — The San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, Young Audiences of San Diego/Arts, It’s All About the Kids Foundation, and Maritime Museum’s Children’s Education Program Sponsored by the inSlider food trucks, active duty military and up to three family members will be admitted free Friday, Aug. 29. Admission is $7-$10 for others on Friday, and for everyone on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Showgoers with MTS Bus and Trolley and North County COASTER passes will receive discounts. Mission Federal Credit Union will distribute coupons at its branches. u

The 3D Art Exposition No matter how much you love them, you can’t buy the sand sculptures. But you can buy more than 1,000 works of art in other media, like metal, wood, glass, acrylic, fabric, gemstones and more. Many of the finest artists in the Southwest will be on the

pier, exhibiting and selling their wares. The event offers fun for the whole family. There will be big bands on the big stage and more than a dozen trucks offering food from different parts of the country and the world. There’s beer and wine for parents, and for kids, a huge sandbox where the younger

“People really should have seen this coming before continuing their malicious behavior,” Coastal Commission Vice-Chair Jana Zimmer said of the vote to close Children’s Pool. “Seals are not the problem. The problem is how the humans are relating to each other, and to the seals.” p. sherman From Seals, A1

Jolla Parks and Beaches, “have all consistently supported shared use of the Children’s Pool beach.” “Seals and humans have long been able to peacefully coexist and share this beach,” she said. “The community has never supported a seasonal beach closure. … They firmly believe the beach should remain open as a public access year-round.” Lighter said the current, year-round guideline rope designed to keep humans a safe distance from seals at Children’s Pool was approved by the Coastal Commission in 2012 with a required three years of monitoring and data collection to determine the efficacy of the rope on reducing conflicts at Children’s Pool (the three-year period ends next summer). “We need to evaluate the data before taking any additional action,” said Lightner, referring to the closure as “regulatory overkill.” “Closing a public beach, especially to

accommodate marine mammals that are not threatened or endangered, is a very dangerous and unusual precedent,” she said. “We have hundreds of sea lions that haul out at La Jolla Cove, less than a half a mile away. Is the next step to approve additional beach closures for sea lions? … We have no idea what long-term, unintended consequences might result from this illconceived proposal.” Councilmember Harris, who served as a lifeguard at the Children’s Pool during the height of the seal controversy, said seasonal closure was being considered yet again because people are “fatigued” with the double-decade debate. “When they get fatigued they pass bad policy,” he said. “This needs to go back to the city council. We need to go back and we need to do the work.” However, commissioners were not swayed by these arguments, siding with the city in

its decision to close the beach by adding a post-and-chain barrier and signage at the top of the lower steps. Brandishing signs in support of the winter closure, members of the Seal Conservancy of San Diego (formerly Friends of La Jolla Seals) presented their case for the closure with slides and video showing people intentionally and unintentionally harassing pregnant seals, which can lead them to abandon their pups, resulting in death. Seal advocates say the closure is needed to prevent marine mammals from being harassed by humans at a time when they and their offspring are most vulnerable. Making the motion to support the closure, commissioner Dayna Bochco noted that the commission has in the past closed beaches “very hesitantly,” adding that sections of the California Coastal Act “do allow us to control access to the beach in a reasonable way.” Bochco said in her three years on the

local coastal program of La Jolla’s community plan. The CCC’s action follows the San Diego City Council’s 6-3 vote for the seasonal beach closure in February. Both times San Diego City Council President Pro Tem Sherri Lightner, who represents La Jolla, stood with the community’s beach access advocates, who say the closure violates the state constitution’s guarantee that people have access to the shoreline. Joining with Lightner in submitting letters opposed to the closure where councilmembers Ed Harris (District 2), Mark Kersey (District 5) and Scott Sherman (District 7), as well Harry Mathis a former city council member representing La Jolla in District 1.

Former Children’s Pool lifeguard and current District 2 City Councilmember Ed Harris, along with Friends of the Children’s Pool President Ken Hunrichs oppose the seasonal beach closure.

La Jolla Beach Access advocates occupy the front row of the Coastal Commission hearing at Catamaran Resort last week. commission the Children’s Pool issue has been in front of her as many times. “Every time we’ve tried to help both the people and the seals, we’ve found that it hasn’t worked out,” she said. “If more people would act reasonably, we wouldn’t be here again today.” Responding to a presentation by Bird Rock resident Mike Costello — who has a degree in biology and said the city and Coastal Commission “should be ashamed of themselves” for “messing with Mother Nature” and causing wild pinnipeds to become acclimated to humans — Bochco countered that “Mother Nature was already messed with” when the concrete barrier wall at Children’s Pool was erected in 1931, creating a calm, albeit unnatural, ocean sanctuary used primarily by swimmers, sunbathers, fishers and divers, until the arrival of the seal colony 20 years ago. “This beach was created by a wall,” she

said. “It would not even be permitted today. This is a very unique situation.” Although harbor seals aren’t a threatened species, the closest haul-out site is about 175 miles north of La Jolla, Bochco noted, adding that the seals are a valuable tourist attraction and educational opportunity for children. Richard Belesky, a full-time park ranger monitoring Children’s Pool, said the majority of visitors year-round are no longer there to swim or dive, but to view the seals.

Five-year trial run

The winter closure calls for the city to closely monitor its effects and efficacy for five years, at the end of which time the permit for the closure must be renewed. CCC Commissioner and San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox noted that the county health department long ago stopped testing the water at Children’s Pool, posting a year-round sign noting unsafe bacterial

levels in the water and on the beach from seal feces. “It’s a permanent condition and has been so since the late 1990s,” Cox said. “Do we really want our children going out into a body of water that we know is not safe from a public health standpoint?” At the urging of commissioner Martha McClure, the CCC added a condition to its approval that the City of San Diego study the feasibility of cleaning the water and sand at Children’s Pool, possibly dredging the beach and/or opening up long-closed sluiceways in the adjacent barrier wall (from atop which people will still be able to view seals during pupping season). “In a five-year period it would seem possible that the city could look at some kind of drainage system that allows the pool to clean itself … so people could actually be on the beach and not think about possibly going to the hospital (after visiting),”

McClure said, also requesting the city study the possibility of making the sandy beach accessible to people with disabilities during the initial five years of seasonal closure. Stacey LoMedico, the city’s assistant chief operating officer, said “it would be safe to say” the city would explore creating access to the sand for disabled persons. She said dredging Children’s Pool was explored via the an environmental document that addressed its impacts, though the city never certified the document, instead opting to adopt a jointuse policy in 2004. LoMedico also said she thinks the city would be open to testing the water monthly or bi-weekly “to see if there are changes in water quality between the pupping season and the (seven months of) shared-use.” u

OPINION

Suicide aftermath requires counsel, compassion, care The recent death of comedian Robin Williams brought it all back in a rush: the tremendous pain of loss. The questions: Why did this happen? What could I have done differently? Was it someone’s fault? Will it happen again? Will people pull away from us knowing this is the third suicide in our immediate family? The first anniversary of the most recent loss, my youngest brother, is coming up and already returning is the searing memory of receiving that dreadful call in the middle of the night. Each death was unexpected; all were Robin Williams’ violent, all were different. death has spurred None really became “real” discussions about until we attended the suicide. funerals. The memories and questions that haunt us will never go away. When someone commits suicide, most of the focus is upon the one who has died: What was the cause? Was there something “wrong” with that person? Who was “responsible? We talk superficially about the survivors. Eventually the talk fades. Those who grieve are forever haunted by unanswered questions: How could this have been prevented? What more could have been done? What did we do wrong? We miss loved ones who have left us and feel cheated out of not having had enough time with them. The survivors are hit hard, particularly when the deaths occur “out of order,” years before they might normally have been expected. What’s wrong with that family? Should our children be allowed to play with their children? Is suicide genetic? I can’t begin to express how difficult life can be for those left behind, even for ones who seek counseling. Some families come together briefly, then break apart as they begin to point fingers. Others turn to chemicals as they try to absorb the loss. Still others have difficulty overcoming the regret they feel for missed opportunities. Suicide knows no social, economic, educational or ethnic boundaries. Even for survivors who, on the surface, seem to have recovered and moved on, life will never be the same. Remember this as you spend time with friends and neighbors who have experienced such profound and complicated loss. They are forever changed. You can make a difference. Cindy Goodman La Jolla

La Jolla Village Merchants Association board members discussed at its Aug. 13 meeting the idea of possibly adding coin parking meters or electronic parking stations in the Village of La Jolla to increase revenue for the group and its objectives. See story on page A1 course to first look into the “low hanging fruit” of the many other options for funding before adding an explosive one like paid public parking into the mix. Amending the motion to remove paid parking from consideration, as Nancy Warwick suggested, would not have prevented them from future investigations. So, why hang on so tight to the idea now? My mom used to always say, “You make your own trouble.” That certainly seems to apply here. Darcy Ashley La Jolla

Don’t even think about putting parking meters in the Village of La Jolla As a resident of this wonderful town, I am distressed to find the La Jolla Village Merchants Association again threatening the viability of our dear La Jolla with the possibility of parking meters. Meters might give the LJVMA a source of revenue, but can this possibly be good for the Village or its merchants? I am a former IBM executive; this makes no sense. Lewis M. Branscomb La Jolla

Merchant board makes its Don’t even think about own trouble with any parking meters, Part 2 plans for metered parking It appears the old paid parking folks are back. I understand that the former Promote La Jolla group is now the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) which manages the Business Improvement District for the Village of La Jolla. In their recent motion to have their executive committee look into alternate revenues, they have included paid on-street public parking. Only six years ago, paid parking was defeated in the Village. It was a contentious time. I shudder to think that it is upon us again and managed by the same people who were defeated

Old Jewel was far more beautiful than the new I am responding to the letter written by Yasmine Aldana: Thank you for a fine letter and one I should have written myself. I, too, wonder if there is a tangible reason an owner couldn’t clean up after his/her pet. Usually, it is because they are lazy as Yasmine mentions. I have seen dog owners oblivious to the calling cards their dogs leave behind. I walk all over La Jolla and I am appalled at how much dog poop is on our sidewalks, parkways, and even beaches. Even the bike path has poop all along the edges where the dirt is. That, too, needs to be picked up. La Jolla was called “a jewel” for a reason, but that jewel is more than tarnished. You would never see this on the streets of Laguna Beach or Carmel. La Jolla has gone downhill and appears to be neglected. Many of the residents who lived here and made La Jolla beautiful have passed on. They were proud of their town and seem to have had different values than what prevails these days. Every week many of us write about dog poop and the alarming amount of trash in La Jolla. Committees are said to form (where? when?), more letters are written, and nothing is done. Has this become the new normal for La Jolla? Cathleen Christian La Jolla

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the first motion of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association meeting Aug. 13 was to look into a media partner to get better press for good works of the organization and then in the next motion (related to finding alternative revenue sources), they shoot themselves in the foot with a motion that looks into paid street parking — which has a demonstrated history of bringing bad will their way? It would have been a calm and prudent

before! I am so curious about their motivation! Betty W. Hosie La Jolla Editor’s Note: The BID group formerly known as Promote La Jolla (and disbanded in 2009) was reformed by a new group titled the La Jolla Village Merchants Assocition. While some of the members may have associations with the previous BID, it is a separate group.

Motorists and not even the police stop for pedestrians anymore Let’s face it, we live here so we can walk to places like the beach and shopping and not have to get in our cars. I’ve lived in La Jolla for more than 25 years and I’ve watched as the traffic on La Jolla Boulevard has grown increasingly busy, making it very difficult to cross this street. It sometimes takes five minutes or more to cross the street — even at a well-marked crosswalk. This is because everyone is rushing to stop a blockup at the red light, so no one will stop to let you cross. However, today was the ultimate insult. I was standing at the well-delineated crosswalk on the corner of La Jolla Boulevard and Westbourne (where the 7-11 is) waiting for someone/anyone to let me cross. The cars just kept pretending I was not there — INCLUDING a San Diego Police Car! The officer even had the nerve to look me straight in the eyes, as he didn’t bother to stop like all the others — at least until he got to the stopped traffic at the red light. I realize the public doesn’t find it important or even the law to stop at a crosswalk, but why would they? Neither do some of our police officers! It’s a disgrace when the people who are there to enforce the law don’t think they have to abide by it. Just sayin’. Karen W. La Jolla

Third idea for foes of leaf blowers Sara Moser has proposed requiring all leaf blowers used in La Jolla be electric and silent, this in response to Ruthie Gordon’s complaint about noise (Aug. 14 letters in La Jolla Light). Here’s a modest alternate idea: ban leaf blowers and require all leaves be left in place until they bio-degrade or blow away or, if necessary, hand collected and placed in cardboard boxes (plastic bags are eco-hostile and paper bags make that nasty rustling sound if carelessly handled). Of course, this will require hiring leaf police for enforcement. That’s a cost we should all cheerfully bear to ensure the tranquility of life. Collateral benefit: no seals would be harmed. Jeffrey J. Denning La Jolla

Message to motorist who passed two cyclists on Muirlands Drive: I’m going to refresh your memory. My friend and I were cycling up Muirlands Drive on Friday, Aug. 15 at 1:36 p.m. when you passed us in a blind hairpin curve. You passed us by driving on the wrong side of the narrow road through the hairpin ignorant of whether a vehicle, bicycle or jogger was coming down. Rather than wait behind us for less than one minute until we reached a place with the visibility needed to pass safely, you put my friend and me, as well as yourself and possibly others, in a

dangerous situation with your behavior. Luckily, this incident ended with no collision, property damage, injuries, or death, all of which were possible outcomes. Sadly, I’m afraid you will have learned nothing from this experience, as you “got away with being stupid.” So I’m going to be blunt. DON’T DO IT AGAIN! Nothing you have to do is worth endangering the lives of others. Nowhere you have to go is worth endangering the lives of others. No time savings is worth endangering the lives of others. Our roads are a place for civility, not selfishness. Start behaving yourself! Richard Wolf La Jolla

City needs to clean Children’s Pool after seal pup season ends I am so thrilled and happy about the decision handed down by the California Coastal Commission as to the Children’s Pool in La Jolla! (See story on page A1.) We, for the first time, have it in black and white: the seals get the beach for five months, and no one is allowed on the beach but the seals for that five months. And then, for seven months, the children and swimmers and divers get the pool. The great thing that has happened is the Coastal Commission has asked the City of San Diego to find out how to clean the beach and water so it is safe for the people’s return after pupping season. The great news is that we, as taxpayers, funded a study to see what it would cost to open the sluice gates in the wall, which have not been opened since the pool opened in 1932. The reason for the gates is to let the ocean water clean the sand and get rid of any built-up sand. Now the beach can be cleaned between the seal time and the people time. We have a study and a plan. Now, we just have to carry it out. As a community we’ve asked the city for this for more than 24 years. Finally, the city has been told to do it. This is great for the seals and the people. Finally! Melinda Merryweather La Jolla

Only in La Jolla! I’d like to publicly acknowledge what a special place La Jolla is as evidenced by a recent happening at Manhattan Restaurant. On the evening of Aug. 12, I was meeting a fellow widow friend for dinner at Manhattan at 6 p.m. and before I left home, I changed my purse, forgetting to transfer my wallet. As I was driving along Torrey Pines Road to the restaurant, it dawned on me that I did not bring that wallet. I had no cash, no credit cards, no identification. Because my friend was from Arizona, I did not want to cancel the dinner, nor keep her waiting, and I couldn’t turn around due to the heavy traffic, so I continued on to the restaurant, but how would I pay? Staffer Manny (who used to be at La Valencia Hotel’s Whaling Bar) surely would recognize and vouch for me … and I

remembered my attorney used to have drinks there, so surely the bartender would remember him and so trust me … But they teased me, saying they never saw me before! When I told my story to the hostess/owner Nancy O’Donnell, she insisted I stay, relax, have dinner and we could square up the next morning. It was a fun night; the meal was affordable and delicious, parking no problem. I was treated so nicely it gave me such a warm feeling. I want everyone to know how special the people and places are in La Jolla. (P.S. I called in my credit card number the following morning.) Marjorie Burns La Jolla

IRS repeats warning about phone scams The Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) continue to hear from taxpayers who’ve received unsolicited calls from individuals demanding payment while

fraudulently claiming to be from the IRS. “Taxpayers should remember their first contact with the IRS will not be a call out of the blue, but through official correspondence sent through the mail,” IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said. “A big red flag for scams are angry, threatening calls from people who say they are from the IRS and urging immediate payment. This is not how we operate. People should hang up immediately and contact the IRS at (800) 366-4484.” For more information or to report a scam, visit irs.gov and type “scam” in the search box. u Raphael Tulino IRS Media Relations, Southern California

OBITUARIES

Glenn Alvin Conner 1924 – 2014

Glenn Conner passed away peacefully in the arms of his beloved wife, Cher, on July 26, 2014, at Silverado Senior Living. Glenn was born December 13, 1924, to parents, Jay Alvin and Christine Hahn Conner in Shelton, Washington. At the age of seventeen, he enlisted in the United States Navy and was assigned the job of Radarman First Class. He served in the European, African and Asian Theaters being awarded medals in all. After college, he started his career in Finance with Merrill Lynch where he rapidly excelled and was promoted to manager of the under-performing Oakland, California, branch

where he made it hugely successful. Afterwards, he was promoted to positions in New York City and then Regional Manager for all States west of the Rockies. Subsequently, he elected to come and live in California, becoming the manager of the Beverly Hills and San Diego offices, eventually deciding to retire in 1992 while manager of the La Jolla and Palm Springs Offices. On July 4, 1988, he married Cher Sinton of La Jolla on the island of Maui, Hawaii. They resided in La Jolla. Glenn was a gentle man who always made a point of upholding a level of civility. He was also a true adventurer, not a quality normally associated with someone who prided himself on always being proper, which is why it was such a special trait. Watching Glenn embrace every new adventure that was proposed, be it piloting a yacht, motorcycling, skiing, collecting art, playing tennis and so much more was a joy. His enthusiasm and willingness to try new things was yet another special thing about this remarkable man, husband and friend. Amongst his many interests, he served on the board of the Neuroscience Institute

to ensure the health and safety of animals. He was a Shriner and a member of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.

How to know when coaching can improve your life By Marti Gacioch Clinical psychologist Frank Carter, Ph.D. has built his career helping families and businesses grow and thrive through his Peaks Coaching Program. He said when navigating the ups and downs of life and relationships, there may be times people, families and business leaders need to seek professional help to deal with issues that emerge. The idea, he said, is to identify and acknowledge the tough situations and then acquire the life skills and insight needed to handle these situations. Dr. Carter shared other thoughts: Where do children learn to solve problems? “By watching their parents. Honestly, how many mothers and fathers failed to solve most of their problems? Ask any child, and he or she will say, “My parents did just fine, and I will/am doing just fine.” That’s the right response,” Carter said.

Clinical Psychologist Frank Carter, Ph.D. Courtesy

How does this all happen? “A child’s need to survive is so strong, the brain adjusts to whatever it receives in an

effort to persevere through whatever it encounters,” Carter said, “But the real test of a happy childhood is revealed in decisions you make going forward as an adult regarding career, marriage and social outlets.” According to Carter, your social interactions will tell you a lot about your place in the world. If you’re joining in, you’re probably happy. If you’re withdrawing and feeling isolated, then you’re probably not. What are tell-tale signs a person may need help with life decisions — past, present and future? • You are impatient with people in the neighborhood and at work. • You are impatient with family members, especially children. • Other people say you are too critical or judgmental of others. • Women don’t have many friends, and men don’t have any activities they do with other men. • Network TV is the primary source of distraction after work. • Too many excursions to go shopping for things you do not need.

• Handling mundane activities takes up most of your free time. • You feel the need to organize the lives of others to give yourself something to do. • You find yourself frequently lecturing to family members, and they ignore you. • Your sex life is less than optimal, even after you talk about it repeatedly. • The mention of socializing with other adults jolts you with a moment of fear and insecurity. • You still have the same habits, clothes, activities and friends from high school or college. • You feel a deep need to teach your children what you feel they must know. • You are the last in the community to acquire the latest technology, and only reluctantly. u n Dr. Frank Carter welcomes inquiries and is available to speak to groups or organizations.

NEW LOCATION

Wellness Studio adds “beauty game changer” to fitness regimen The La Jolla Wellness Studio is pleased to announce a new addition to their wellness platform, i-Lipo Xcell by Chromogenex™. Cosmopolitan Magazine in their March 2014 issue, calls i-Lipo a “beauty game changer, an in-office renovation that is raising the beauty bar.” I-Lipo is the intelligent non-surgical alternative to liposuction and can be used on both women and men. Dr. Oz says, “ i-Lipo delivers on its fat reduction and body shaping promises. The La Jolla Wellness Studio is located on Fay Avenue in La Jolla Village and offers a very unique program for fitness, wellness, anti-aging and beauty. The first visit includes a full consultation starting with an electronic body composition analysis. This determines your current level of body fat, muscle mass and water content and sets personal goals to achieve. Each session consists of a 20-minute i-Lipo treatment to target problem areas. Low level lasers are released though the treatment pads, triggering a chemical signal in the fat cells that breaks down the stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol, which pass though the cell membrane. The lymphatic system releases the fat from the body immediately afterwards as long as you exercise. The next step in the process is a one-on-one personal training session featuring a patented 30-minute workout process called the MyoMetrix Method™. This will burn off the released fat immediately. With normal exercise the body will use its store of carbohydrates and sugar as its first source of energy and it can take a lot of time and effort before it begins to burn fat as a source of energy. Using i-Lipo and the MyoMetrix Method™ you go straight into fat burning mode and results are seen immediately. Typically a reduction of 1-3cm is achieved after each session. After a course of 8 sessions you can achieve dramatic results. Independent clinical studies have shown i-Lipo to be completely safe with no side effects. A pre-sales event is taking place now so if you would like to save 50% on treatment packages call and book an appointment today at 858-444-0340.

Mission to Belize brings hope, help, happiness to orphans By Kaitlin Wheeler

shocked when I entered the massive hut. The roof was made of palm fronds, the walls were wooden and painted bright blue, and each bed had a mosquito net to protect from the thousands of bugs that lurked in the Belizean jungle. That night our group ate a family-style dinner of chicken and beans. During dinner, team leader Paul discussed the agenda for the next day, when 10 of us would visit the orphanage while the rest would go to the work site and start building a home for the impoverished Garcia family. After filling our stomachs with delicious food, my roommates and I headed off to the cabana. Before entering, we covered ourselves in bug spray, almost choking to death on excessive amounts of DEET. As we settled down for bed, the cabana grew very quiet and only the euphonious noises from the jungle animals could be heard.

La Jolla High School Senior

he following is my account of a weeklong mission trip to Belize (Central America), which I took with my mother, Jane Wheeler, and my cousins Sara and Emily Steybe, and 17 others earlier this summer. It was sponsored by La Jolla Presbyterian Church. Our goal was to paint cheerful murals on an orphanage for abused children and build a home for the impoverished 10-member Garcia family.

The loud mooing of cows in the distance woke me up at 7:30 a.m. Thursday. Each one of us applied sunscreen and bug spray to prepare ourselves for the hot day ahead. We all packed into the white van again and drove off to King’s Home Orphanage for abused children. Before taking more than three steps into the building, a small child ran up to me, smiling, and asked my name. Within minutes, a swarm of children came up to our group, all trying to hold our hands and asking us to play with them.

At 4:30 in the morning, my two cousins, my mother, and I awoke from our beds, gathered our luggage, drove to the airport, and joined the other 17 people attending the La Jolla Presbyterian Church Belize Mission Trip. After six hours of flight, the group and I stepped off the plane onto the runway and were greeted by a gush of hot, thick, humid air that never left until we went back to America. Kenny, a Belizean and the work-site leader for our trip, met us with a huge smile and led us into two white vans. From there, we went on an hour-long drive along unpaved roads covered in large rocks, creating a very bumpy, adventurous ride. Everywhere we looked there were run-down houses and shacks or large expanses of tall palm trees and small bright green plants. Once we arrived at the Banana Bank Lodge, everyone retrieved their suitcases

Children at the orphanage help us mix paint for the murals. Mama Leoney, the orphanage founder, said they wanted us to paint two kid-friendly murals — one on the boy’s dormitory walls and one on the girl’s. While I stayed back to play with the kids, the others drove off to find paint for the murals. While they were

away, I met a variety of kids who ranged in age and talents. Kevin was a shy, 15-year-old who loved to play soccer, but the orphanage did not have money to buy soccer balls. Xiziquil, 17, taught himself to play the guitar and wrote many songs for his girlfriend, but decided to quit when she broke up with him. Lewis, 6, loved running around and playing rugby with the one flat ball the orphanage owned. Within the next two days, I met many more kids who all came from abusive families, but still remained so happy and open-minded. In the afternoon the group came back with art supplies. I began to sketch out characters from “Finding Nemo” on the wall and my mom drew flowers on the other wall, while kids from the orphanage collaborated to paint-in the outlines. With this teamwork, we were able to finish half of both murals the first day. After a long day of work, we relaxed in the pool and then fell asleep.

explained that she owned a tortilla business where a pack of seven tortillas cost 50 cents. Mr. Garcia worked away from the home and only had time to visit them once every two months. With a family of eight children, their home was too small and chaotic for so many people. As we worked on the house, the Garcia family cooked us lunch. The generosity each child had was so surprising. I asked to try one of the mangoes off their tree, and one of the kids brought me back 10 and encouraged me to eat all of them. Instead, I shared them with the rest of the group. As lunchtime approached Mrs. Garcia asked if I and five other girls would like to help her make the tortillas. After a hearty meal, we left the work site to go cave tubing in Actun Tunichil Muknal. All of us were handed a tube and a headlamp and sent on our way down the river without any safety instructions or waivers.

Our exploration adventures continued Sunday. We visited the Mayan ruins, rafted

Another action-packed day awaited us Friday. Our team devoted the entire day to completing the “Nemo” mural and continued to work on the jungle-themed mural. Before we left the orphanage that day, my cousins and I gave Kevin a notebook with letters we wrote to him as a way of showing our care for him. He accepted it with a huge smile.

down Clarissa Falls (while attempting to stop air from leaking out a massive hole on my friend’s inner tube), and went horseback riding in the jungle. I discovered after these three experiences that Belize is a place where you live without worry, a place that demands your full presence.

Day 6

Orphanage owner Mama Leoney told us why she decided to create King’s Home. As a child, her parents physically and mentally abused her. Around age 16, her father impregnated her, and that’s when she decided she needed to change her life. When she left her home, she created the orphanage as a place to give children the love, hope and care they had not received from their parents. She described the difficulty children face in adjusting to the orphanage and the separation from their abusive families; at first, they don’t understand that their past environments were very unsafe.

La Jolla man struck, critically injured in bicycle accident n Fundraising page set up to assist with medical expenses By Ashley Mackin Juan Carlos Vinolo of La Jolla is one of the 10 cyclists injured during an Aug. 12 accident about 6:30 p.m. on Fiesta Island, when a suspected drunk driver drove the wrong way down a one-way street and struck them. Vinolo’s injuries were the most severe. He is married with two young children. U-T San Diego reports Vinolo is in critical condition with lifethreatening injuries, including a broken spine. Vinolo lost one kidney and has collapsed lungs, broken ribs, five crushed vertebrae and a lacerated spleen. He is being treated at UCSD’s Hillcrest medical center and is partially paralyzed. A GoFundMe fundraising page has been established to assist with medical expenses: gofundme.com/d1nuf8 The post states that if Vinolo survives, he will likely be paralyzed from the chest down. The latest update (as of La Jolla Light’s press time) indicated he woke up with

Juan Carlos Vinolo and his family pneumonia on Aug. 18. The GoFundMe page further explains Vinolo was one of 20 cyclists on the road (considered “an especially safe place to ride” by cyclists), and he “saw the driver approach the peloton and edged off another cyclist out of harm’s way. Juan Carlos Vinolo paid a heavy price for his heroic act.” The driver of the car, Theresa Lynn Owens, was arrested on suspicion of felony driving under the

Coastal Commission can levy fines for beach-access abuse

he state agency that enforces public access to San Diego beaches now has some legal teeth, as a result of a lastminute amendment to the new state budget. The new law allows the Coastal Commission to issue fines against oceanfront homeowners who put up fake “No Parking” signs or otherwise impede access to California’s beaches, all of which are public property below the high-tide line. Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, attached the rider to California’s $108 billion budget, which was passed by the Assembly and signed by the governor recently. For the past 38 years, the only way the Coastal Commission could enforce access rules was to file lawsuits. That caused an enormous backlog of cases and allowed

some oceanfront residents to flout the laws for decades, beach access advocates said. Fines assessed by the Coastal Commission will still be subject to administrative hearings and court review. But property rights advocates have cried foul, and said the new law puts an unfair burden on property owners. It’s “a significant game-changer,” said Damien Schiff, an attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation. “A lot of property owners would say the potential downside risk — the value of the penalties and the costs of litigating — could be so high that, even if that property owner was 100 percent certain he’s right on the law, it wouldn’t be worth it to him.” u — City News Service

FIELD HOCKEY: La Jolla High School Vikings

Coach looks back on senior leaders of resurgent team By Ed Piper La Jolla High School field hockey coach Paula Conway took some time to reflect on the eight senior girls who led the turnaround of a program that struggled to a 5-10-0 record in 2012, to a gleaming 16-7-1 record and a spot in the second round of the CIF playoffs in fall 2013. Certainly, Conway’s return to the helm after involvement in the U.S. Olympic program played a role. But this past year’s leaders, including center forward Cat Cuthrell, made the difference that led to two wins each over Cathedral Catholic and Point Loma high schools, and a triumph over rival The Bishop’s School. A La Jolla High trademark, as well, was the excellence the athletes showed in the classroom. Several pursued advanced placement classes and, besides crafting a fine win-loss record on the field, crafted fine GPA’s academically. “These eight seniors were not only great hockey players,” said Conway, who also serves as athletic director at the school, “but stellar in the classroom. It was truly an overachieving group.” In addition to Cuthrell, the seniors who spurred the CIF-playoff-bound squad the past season, included midfielder/fullback Veronica Gonzalez, center midfielder Sophie Mazur, left midfielder Charlotte Hathaway, right wing Allison Dowd, and fullbacks Mckenzie Pringle, Courtney Gainor and Emily Young. Although Young went down with an ACL tear in her knee early in the season, she continued her presence at practice and games as a sort of student assistant to Conway. All eight walked through graduation ceremonies at LJHS’ Edwards Stadium June 12. Young plans to study at MIT in the fall. She carried a 4.82 grade-point average, heavy on AP classes. Gonzalez was the consistent defender who, year in and year out, worked hard and wasn’t real loud, but her teammates could count on her contribution. Pringle, Conway said, was the “mom” of the team, “She has the kindest heart, and really helped our team to gel and (be) very close. She brought energy everyday, along with a contagious smile.” Pringle plans to enter the University of Southern California

Ed Piper in the fall with a 4.36 GPA. Dowd, from Haleiwa, Hawaii, plans to accompany Pringle to the hallowed halls of USC. She came off the bench as a junior, but started every game during her senior year. “Alli brought a toughness to our team with her physical play and competitive spirit,” Conway said. Her GPA, when recognized as a scholar-athlete last fall, was 4.54. Hathaway, called “Charlie” by everyone who knows her, was nicknamed “The Energizer Bunny” by her teammates for her frenetic pace. Although not big physically, compared to other players, she was persistent in driving her way into scrums for the loose ball. She plans to attend Cal Berkeley this year and racked up a 4.38 GPA. “She played the toughest position and usually had to defend the best attackers, and she always rose to the occasion,” Conway said. Her father could often be heard from the stands shouting encouragement to “Charlie” over the last couple of seasons. Mazur evolved from the “little kid” on the team as a freshman on the varsity to being named co-captain last year with Gainor. “She really blossomed this year as a player and a leader,” Conway said. As center

midfield, she was the core of our team offensively and defensively.” She will enter San Diego State University. Gainor, likewise a little reticent to stand out in her earlier years, took command of the Vikings’ defense after Young was injured and became quite vocal in her leadership.

Her plans for college are for UC Santa Barbara with a 4.41 GPA. “After the Canyon Crest loss, she realized that she needed to step up to help the team,” Conway said. “So she organized and led our defense for the remainder of the season.” Cuthrell, who plans to play at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in the fall, developed into an offensive weapon under Conway’s tutelage. “Cat was a dynamic and explosive player who added a threat to our forward line,” Conway said. Cuthrell said, “I think that every player on our team, especially the seniors, were 100-percent dedicated to the sport and truly loved the game. I’m going to miss this aspect of the team, as well as the inspiration and drive that Coach Conway bred in all of us.” Conway points out that her seniors, besides sports and the classroom, were also involved in extracurricular activities including ASB, Mariners, a girls scholarship honor society, the Science Team, and many other clubs for service and a well-rounded high school experience. “I truly believe these young women will be our future leaders,” she said. Conway, a two-time All-American center midfielder at Providence College, brings an intensity and depth that have transformed the Vikings in her two stints at the school (2008-2011 and 2013-to present). u

From Belize, A27 I observed that even though they must live without parents, the kids still remained so joyful. They continued to help us complete the jungle mural. As the day came to an end, Kevin came up to my cousins and I with a note he had written in his journal. He told us to keep it forever so that we could always remember him.

Day 7 Tuesday was our last full workday. Half of the group decided to go back to the orphanage and finish mural details. I went with the other half to the work site. I nailed walls and talked to one of the Garcia girls about how her life compared to mine. By 3 p.m., the house was complete. We dedicated it to the Garcia Family and watched as their smiles grew bigger and bigger by the second. They prayed for us in Creole, which was translated into English and expressed their gratitude for our hard work. By the time Tuesday ended, two murals had been painted, a house had been built, and many lives had been changed.

Thinking about the week as I flew home, I realized that all the hardships Belizeans face could never be resolved in one mission trip. Each person I met maintained a hopeful and lighthearted outlook on his or her life. With so little, it was hard to believe they could all work together in a cohesive community. I also realized the vast amount of things I take for granted in my life — from simply being able to drink clean water any time of the day, to having the opportunity of a family that cares for me. The Belizean lifestyle seemed so simplistic, yet as I learned more about their struggles, I saw the complexity in their lives hidden beneath their smiles. Each faced life-changing decisions every day, but always worked with another to stay content. Belize was an incredible trip that allowed me to change the lives of others, while also changing my own. u n To make a donation to King’s Home or receive information about future mission trips, contact Rev.

Let Inga Tell You

What were the odds?

La Jolla Cultural Partners

think we’d all agree that no one should have to worry about being run over by a motor vehicle in their own shower. I’m a world class worrier but until it almost happened, it never occurred to me to worry that a stolen car would crash through our front fence and stop inches from joining me in the master bath. This wasn’t recent, fortunately, but it comprised one of the three times that a vehicle has taken out our front fence and come perilously close to ending up parked inside our home. The fundamental problem, of course, is that our house is cursed. The postal service can’t seem to find it even after 67 years. We had no garbage pickup for an entire summer when the routes were changed and our quirky address dropped off the grid. When the streetlight next to our house burned out, both SDG&E and the city claimed there was no streetlight there. In January of 1981, a trunk line sewer block re-routed the neighborhood’s sewage through our house for two hours. We are suspicious about why the previous owners sold. They knew something wasn’t right about this place. Note to ask realtor friends: When we sell,

is being cursed a required disclosable? Do we need to inform prospective buyers that anyone residing here should expect more excitement (and not of the positive kind) than they can stand? The three crashes are frankly puzzling. When you think of all the hilly roads with hairpin turns in La Jolla, our street is not one of them. It’s straight. There’s only a slight incline. You can see for blocks ahead. The first incident occurred when a 76-year-old lady in a ‘49 Dodge lost control of her car and mowed down 20 feet of our front fence missing our bedroom by mere feet. She explained that she was carrying a load of milk for the Senior Citizen’s Club and claimed that the city stupidly made the sidewalk the same color as the road, so how were people supposed to tell which was which? Surveying the debris, she announced, “Thanks God nothing happened to the milk!” Also thanks God, she had remembered to pay her State Farm premium. A few years later, I was taking a shower after a swim when I heard a huge crash that sounded like it was mere feet away. That’s because it was. I quickly looked out my bathroom window and found myself

staring right into the faces of four equally startled Hispanic teenagers who had been driving way too fast in a stolen car and had lost control. One can only assume the driver still had a provisional license and had not completed the mandatory 60 hours of adult-supervised driving. I got the license number but despite the fact the car was trailing a fence for 30 miles down I-5 to the border, which you might think would attract attention, they got away. Despite some perilously close misses in between, we got some good use out of our re-re-built fence before the third incident. We’d been sound asleep when we heard it: a vehicle roaring out of control down the street in our direction, rap music blaring and tires squealing as it careened back and forth. Like several other neighbors, our master bedroom is on the street side, some 15 feet from the curb. I’m not trying to be unreasonable here, but I just don’t want to wake up to see the underside of a car. Olof joins me in this sentiment. Fortunately the white minivan just missed both our bedroom and the cars but took out 40 feet of our front fence, barely avoiding the telephone pole that doesn’t exist. We called 911, but San Diego’s Finest said they only had two squad cars in our area that night, both occupied. But, I said, this driver is clearly impaired — and how hard is it to spot a white minivan dragging a fence? (My front fence has had more travel time than probably any fence in America.) Sorry, they said. Call your insurance company. Bye! From the debris field left in our yard and in the street, it was clearly kids: the sunglasses, the rap CDs, the hats.

Aggravated, I posted a sign on a fragment of the fence noting, “This fence demolition courtesy of a carload of drunk teenagers. Unfortunately, natural selection did not prevail.” So would it be too much to ask if people would cut it out already? Yes, little old ladies and felonious teens, we’re talking to you. People have asked why we don’t move. But you think, what are the odds a car is going to crash into our house a fourth time? Of course, we thought that after the first. Meanwhile, Olof and I have both entertained a fairly delicious fantasy of installing steel posts outside our bedroom and along our fence. They would be inscribed, “Make our day.” Curses work both ways. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

A.R. Valentien begins daily breakfast service By Kelley Carlson here’s nothing like starting the day with “tee” time and a gourmet breakfast. The Lodge at Torrey Pines’ fine dining restaurant, A.R. Valentien, recently expanded its menu to offer morning meals daily. Previously served on weekends only, breakfast has been revamped, but the dishes maintain the high level of quality and freshness that has garnered the establishment a number of accolades. “It doesn’t get much more farm-to-table than us,” said Julia Geis, media relations manager for The Lodge at Torrey Pines. “Our chefs have a great relationship with the farmers. They prepare the foods simply, but let the ingredients shine.” And because breakfast is Executive Chef Jeff Jackson’s favorite meal, the dishes really seem to sparkle. Patrons can begin their experience with something light, perhaps sitting on the patio that overlooks the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course and the ocean — a prime time to take advantage of the views, as there is less of a crowd. Among the choices is a bowl of sweet-and-nutty Homemade Granola over organic Straus Yogurt with a berry medley; and the warm Peach and Pecan Sticky Bun with housemade caramel sauce and fresh peaches. Those who prefer a more substantial breakfast can choose from the Wilted Bloomsdale Spinach, layered with pancetta, sliced torpedo onion, poached egg and a dollop of creamy homemade ricotta, plus crushed red pepper for a bit of a kick; “Bull’s

For a special beverage, guests can select from freshly squeezed juices that include Strawberry Orange and Carrot Ginger. Those who dine at A.R. Valentien later in the day will find an array of charcuterie, cheeses, seafood and meats. Patrons who aren’t seated on the popular patio will find an elegant dining room setting of California Craftsman-style architecture and stainedglass lanterns, and a display of artworks by the restaurant’s namesake.

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

‘The Two Gentlemen of Verona’ are a treat to meet

“T

he Two Gentlemen of Verona,” Shakespeare’s popular comedy about love, friendship and infidelity, is playing in The Old Globe’s outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre and the cool night air is an added treat to beat the heat of day. Even if you’ve seen the play before, this production is so thoroughly refreshing and entertaining, it’s worth a revisit. Designer John Arnone’s stage sets, inspired by Italian Renaissance frescoes and oil paintings, establishes the intrigue of what is about to unfold on stage. Director Mark Lamos begins the story with a delightful group of sword-crossing, vibrantly dressed men who go through a routine that feigns what it’s like to be a gentleman. Valentine (Hubert Point-Du Jour) and Proteus (Adam Kantor) enter the street of Verona and start a conversation about love. Proteus is deeply in love with Julia, and Valentine, having not yet found a true love, makes fun of his friend’s romantic notions. Enter Speed (Rusty Ross) who is Valentine’s servant. He’s surprised to learn that Valentine has left for Milan. He then goes into a frisky game of teasing Proteus as he claims to have a letter for Proteus

from Julia, but demands some payment for its release. Meanwhile Julia (Kristin Villanueva) is getting lessons from her woman-inwaiting, Lucetta (Erin Elizabeth Adams), who informs Julia the men she finds suitable are not right for her and that Proteus is the man for her. Proteus and Julia are soon swept away in their love for each other, but too soon Valentine beckons Proteus to Milan. Julia is so distraught that her true love is suddenly gone that she dresses like a man and makes her journey to Milan to find Proteus. Meanwhile, Valentine has finally found his true love in the beautiful Silvia (Britney Coleman). She is intrigued by him but made cautious as her father, the Duke of Milan (Mark Pinter), already has picked out her future husband. When Proteus arrives in Milan, he’s dumbstuck the first time he lays eyes on Silvia. He’s instantly in love with her and forgets every emotion he had for Julia. This sets up a tedious competition between Proteus and Valentine. The play is light, short and very funny. In wondering who will end up with whom; the cast members are terrific.

Silvia (Britney Coleman), Valentine (Hubert Point-Du Jour), Julia (Kristin Villanueva), and Proteus (Adam Kantor), sort out their feelings. Jim Cox Point-Du Jour and Kantor easily handle the transformation from friends to enemies. Coleman evolves into a regal and beautiful Silvia, who is hard to take your eyes off of until Villanueva shows up on stage. With her stomping, crying, falling-intodespair portrayal of Julia, it’s a laugh a minute. She truly steals the show, but so do other characters, such as Richard Ruiz

as Launce with his excellent performing dog, Crab. u n IF YOU GO: “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” runs through Sept. 14 at The Old Globe Theatre’s outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego. Tickets from $29 at (619) 234-5623. TheOldGlobe.org

A little older and wiser, the La Jolla Shores resident will soon be packing his own bags to take another stab at success in L.A.

A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in downtown Los Angeles, McKellar said he grew tired of L.A. and returned La Jolla to work with his stepfather, Joerg Kruse, with whom he has been patching pipelines in municipalities around the world for the past 10 years. “I went from making dresses (for the Las Patronas Jewel Ball) to wearing a hardhat,” joked the 29-year-old avid surfer and golfer, whose family founded La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club (his great grandfather was married to Virginia Scripps, half-sister La Jolla benefactress Ellen Browning Scripps). “All the municipalities throughout the world have old pipes that end up breaking. Rather than dig up the streets to replace them, we have the technology to reline them using a UV light to harden a liner that replaces the (original) pipe,” McKellar explained of the job, which he still does to fund S. McKellar luggage — his true passion. “The money goes right back into my business to get the bags produced,” he said. “It allows me to kind of get dirty and work hard, so there’s some satisfaction that comes from that, but design is my passion.” Thus far, the S. McKellar line features black, red and white roller trunks, as well as duffel and laptop bags, in brown, white or black — each piece crafted from Italian leather, suede and cowhide, featuring gold studs and other accents imprinted with the S. McKellar brand (suitable for both male and female travelers). “Every piece is designed to make a

It’s such a great way to sell,” Harmon said. “Mia’s really helped me with my business, so it’s nice she’s doing her own line now to make her own money to save up for a car and for college.” Mia said she drew inspiration from fashions she saw other girls wearing at

Mia’s friends help her sell her swimwear Sundays at the Open Aire Market, and model them at La Jolla beaches, generating further interest in the brand. “It’s kind of fun,” Harmon said, “Everywhere we go people are like, ‘Oh my God, where did you get that? What are you wearing?’ ” Mia said the most difficult part of the process for her was working to create a pattern with the perfect fit for either sunbathing or surfing. “You have to make like 20 bathing suits to get one right,” Harmon said. “She put a lot of time into tweaking every single suit. … The fit had to be just right because there’s so much competition out there.” Mia said she enjoys English and history, though, like McKellar, after graduation she also aspires to attend FIDM in Los Angeles, or another fashion college. u

Anniversary

a Jolla residents William and Marion Demos will celebrate 50 years of marriage on Aug. 23. Marion Demos, nee Wallace, moved to La Jolla in 1949. She attended La Jolla Elementary School and graduated from La Jolla Junior/Senior High in 1956. She went on to San Diego State University where she received her K-12 teaching credential, and worked as a substitute teacher in the La Jolla schools while her children were young. She then taught for many years in the Sweetwater Union High School District. Bill’s family moved to San Diego in 1950 and he graduated from Roosevelt Junior and San Diego High School. A lover of musical theater, Bill spent years working at the box office at the La Jolla Playhouse when it was located on the Nautilus campus. He also graduated from SDSU and went on to work at the Sweetwater Union School district for more than 40 years, retiring as a Marion and William Demos teacher and administrator. The couple completed building their family home on Soledad Mountain Road in 1965, just months prior to the arrival of their first of four children: George William Demos, Gus William Demos, Angela (Demos) Halpin, and Christina (Demos) Frangos. Their grandchildren include William, Nicholas and Dillon Halpin, and Mariana, Chrysanthe and Andreana Frangos. The couple celebrated the occasion of their golden anniversary with family and friends, Greek food and dancing, at a backyard event in their La Jolla home. u

10 cash-saving food tips I learned this summer

hoppers seem to be sucked into costly impulsivity. It’s no happenstance that enticing and decadent delights hover near the checkout counter where they are purposely planted. Here are savvy tips to outsmart supermarket strategists and protect your willpower and wallet. 1) A-List Always come to the market armed with a complete list — and stick to it! Divide items into departments, including produce, fish and meat, dairy and household goods. And never go grocery shopping hungry as this only feeds impetuous purchases. 2) Carte Blanche Notice how supermarket carts are supersized these days. The luxuriously roomy carts are meant to encourage shoppers to fill them to the gills. Don’t fall for this ploy, rather select the smaller carts or even the hand-held baskets to put the skids on over-shopping and temptations. 3) Music to my Ears Slow, droning background music is another sneaky strategy to lull the shopper into a snail-paced crawl down the aisles. To pick up the pace and spend less time lollygagging in the store (which translates to spending more money on frivolous items) bring along your earphones and play list with zippy tunes to light a fire under your feet. You can also set a timer for 30 minutes or less to prevent slacking. 4) Monkey in the Middle Studies have shown that you will spend less time and money in the supermarket if you start in the middle of the store and work your way to the produce aisles. The latter, a cheery department loaded with rainbow-colored gems and jewels has been found to loosen shopping inhibitions and encourage spontaneous purchases. 5) Do the Math Be mindful of pricing policies and gimmicks.

Some produce is priced per pound, others per item. Bigger is not always better, particularly when buying in bulk and multiples. And don’t forget about the shrinkage factor, as one-pound bags of the past are now 12 ounces for the same price. 6) Squeaky Wheel Gets the Oil Check dates on dairy, packaged produce, baked goods, fowl and meats. If it is close to the expiration date ask the department manager if he would kindly reduce the price before it expires and he has to toss it anyway. As well, don’t be afraid to ask for samples, including marinades and condiments, wooden skewers and storage containers at meat and fish departments, and tastings at the cheese and deli so you don’t buy items that will go to waste. 7) Nail the Sale If non-perishables or items with a long shelf life are on sale, stock up. For perishables, if they can be frozen, the same applies. 8) Do-it-Yourself Use your gustatory sweat equity to save money. It’s cheaper (and fresher) to buy whole lettuces than packaged and premade salads; cheese balls or chunks than bags of shredded cheeses; fresh turkey or chicken breasts roasted at home than sliced, prepared deli; raw, whole fruits than ready-made fruit platters or salads; and homemade smoothies than bottled ones. 9) Toss the Sauce While standing in the checkout line, do a lightning inventory in your cart or basket, and eliminate anything you hastily placed there. No shame to give it to an employee to reshelf or to the cashier. 10) Plastic Surgery You will be more cognizant of your spending if you pay with cash than credit cards. u — For additional money-savers, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

a dozen Ways to save on your remodel Whenever you decide to add on to or remodel a part of your home, you’re increasing your quality of life and your property’s value, but many times those projects end up costing two to three times what you anticipated. Last month, I focused on the importance of creating a budget when starting your remodel project and offered tips on how to stay on that budget. One of the items I discussed was finding places to trim your costs. Here are a dozen more specific ways in which you can keep the cost down on your remodel without sacrificing quality. Make decisions early. Well before the demo crew shows up, you should be pricing out your materials and appliances. If you don’t know what you want, then you have to rely on

your contractor’s estimates, and the two of you may not be on the same page. It always costs more to make changes midstream. Plan with stock-sizes. When planning your new doors, windows, additional flooring, etc, consider the off-the-shelf dimensions. Keeping these sizes in mind from the beginning will save you plenty on custom fabrication. Increase efficiency. In order to add useful space to your kitchen, you don’t necessarily need to take out a wall. You just need to maximize the space you do have. For example, if you take out large cumbersome shelving and replace it with cabinet-height, pull out drawers, you will be able to utilize three horizontal places where before there was only one. Add natural light without adding windows. Cutting a large hole into the side of your house is not the only way to bring in natural light. By adding a “light tube” – which fits between roof rafters and funnels sunlight down into the living space – you can brighten up a hallway or windowless bathroom without the big cost or invasive construction. Don’t move the kitchen sink. Or the toilet. Moving these major pipe areas is often the largest chunk of your plumbing costs. If you your new layout can’t avoid this, however, use this opportunity to also upgrade the pipes at the same time.

Consider look-a-likes. While this might not be true across the board, some imitations can really help cut costs without cutting quality. For example, there is a natural eucalyptus hybrid (brand named Lyptus) that looks and feels remarkably like mahogany at nearly half the price. Tap your contractor’s sources. When it comes to things like flooring, ask your subcontractor if he or she has odds and ends left over from other jobs. Useful material that may go in the trash on other sites, could end up saving you thousands. Donate and/or recycle your trash. About 85% of a house is reusable. By contacting a local Habitat for Humanity, you can save a trip to the dump, save on space in a landfill, and you can use the donation as charitable tax credit. As a green building expert, we recycle the majority of construction debris and divert demolition trash to a recycling facility instead of filling up landfills. Visit www.habitat.org to find an affiliate near you. Consult an architect. By spending a couple thousand dollars on partnering with an architect, he or she may be able to save you tens of thousands by drawing up design solutions that you can then take to your builder. We can recommend an architect that fits your style, needs and budget.

Partner with a contractor. Along the same lines, some contractors will offer consulting and pre-construction services. You can save a lot of time and money with the help and advice of an experienced contractor, especially when the owner, contractor and architect are working together early in the design process. Start from scratch. While this may be a scary concept, if you are doing a major renovation, be sure to crunch the numbers. In some cases, it may cost you less to demolish the whole house and start over than it would to add up all the major remodels. Plus you get all benefits of new construction. Consider long-term costs. Even though we are talking about saving on the price of your remodel, don’t get hurt in long-term costs because of short-term gains. For example, while LED lights and solar power cost more, the long term savings are incredible, not to mention the sustainable impact to the environment. At Murfey Construction, it is important to us that you get the project you’ve been dreaming of at a price you can afford. To find out more ways in which you can save on your remodel project, please contact us at http://MurfeyConstruction.com.

APN: 345-072-19-39 TS No: CA08002978-14-1 TO No: 1629123 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED May 27, 2004. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On September 18, 2014 at 10:00 AM, at the entrance to the East County Regional Center by statue, 250 E. Main Street, El Cajon, CA 92020, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on June 4, 2004, as Instrument No. 2004-0523014, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of San Diego County, California, executed by VU CONG NGUYEN, A SINGLE MAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. as nominee for SECURITY NATIONAL MORTGAGE COMPANY, A UTAH CORPORATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3928 LA JOLLA VILLAGE DRIVE, LA JOLLA, CA 92037 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any

LA JOLLA LIGHT - AuGusT 21, 2014 - Page B21

incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $388,073.61 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08002978-14-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may

not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
