By Pat Sherman During the Aug. 14 meeting of La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA), board members grappled with the problem of the Village’s increasingly blighted public right-of-way (PROW) — and the seeming disregard of business owners to keep the spaces in front of their shops trash- and weed-free, and their portions of the sidewalk free of holes and cracks. LJVMA Board President Phil Coller said that more than 90 percent of the responsibility for upkeep of the PROW and sidewalk is passed on from the building owner to his or her tenant via the lease agreement — whether the tenant realizes it or not. “We have made this point many times before,” Coller said. “In almost every instance, the tenant of the property takes on that responsibility with the lease they sign. While they may think that their landlord has (that) responsibility, it was probably passed on to them. “It’s no good complaining to the merchants association about the sidewalk. You need to look at your lease, talk to your landlord, and make a plan to fix it, because you’re liable if anybody trips.” LJVMA board member Leon Chow noted that residents and business owners See Sidewalks, A8

By Pat Sherman The owner of property occupied by a Unocal 76 gas station at the corner of Pearl Street and Eads Avenue is moving forward with plans to redevelop his property. Mark Conger said he hopes to replace the station with a two-building mixed-use project that would include a restaurant and retail space on the bottom floor and residential units in both buildings. Conger said he is seeking a coastal development permit to remove the service station at 801 Pearl St. and construct four retail units, one restaurant and 12 condominiums with a subterranean garage (the entrance to which would be off Eads Avenue). A two-story building would front Pearl Street (with two residential units on its second level), and a separate, three-story building comprised of 10 condos would be at the rear of the property. The property falls within two different zones: La Jolla’s Planed District Ordinance zone (along Pearl Street) and a residential zone (at the rear of the property), though it will be developed as one complete parcel.

that walls of the building would be offset at various locations to create a “more friendly experience from the pedestrian point of view. “That is a technique we used throughout the entire project,” he said. “It softens the look of the building.” Entrances to the residential units would be on the interior of the building, which would include 600 feet of loading space. In addition, the third story of the rear building is set back from the curb by about 24 feet to soften the project’s

overall appearance. The front building is planned at about 24 feet tall, while the rear building is less than 30 feet, meeting La Jolla’s height limit requirement. The project would include 24 parking spaces for residential units (including three tandem spaces), plus 13 spaces for the restaurant and seven for retail. “The way La Jolla calculates parking requirements, we have one more than required,” LaCava said. “The way the city calculates parking, we’re way over (the requirement).”

An existing six-foot masonry wall dividing the rear of the property from residences on Eads will remain, as required by the city. The PDO committee on Aug. 12 approved most of the project’s landscaping elements, though committee members were concerned that the project designs call for adding palm trees along Pearl Street instead of jacarandas — the designated street tree for Pearl Street and La Jolla Boulevard under La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance, or development blueprint.

Joe LaCava (representing Conger) gave an overview of the project during the April 13 meeting of the Development Permit Review (DPR) city advisory group. (The project was presented to the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance committee on Aug. 12). Though La Jollans will have one less place to refuel their vehicles, the project would break up Pearl Street with an attractive façade and landscaping, LaCava said.

“Retail really requires a pedestrian friendly experience, and Pearl Street today is really anything but that,” he said. “Our little contribution to make Pearl Street a little more comfortable to walk along is to put a landscape buffer along the curb line.” LaCava noted that there are several other three-story buildings on Pearl Street with a “big, boxy” appearance and little ornamentation. “We wanted to create a different design aesthetic,” he said, noting

The owner of the property (housing a gas station since 1964) is seeking to develop a mixed-use project (at left) that would include 12 condominiums, plus ground-floor retail space and a restaurant. Pat Sherman

Land-use consultant Joe LaCava (right) shares details about a mixed-use project planned for the corner of Pearl Street and Eads Avenue (now a Unocal 76 gas station) during the Aug. 13 meeting of the Development Permit Review committee (architect Alex Faulkner looks on). LaCava is representing property owner Mark Conger. Pat Sherman LaCava said the reason for proposing palm trees instead of jacarandas is the presence of two nearby bus stops and the fact that the right travel lane hugs the curb. “A full canopy jacaranda tree, or any full canopy (tree) is not going to be very (conducive) to big delivery trucks and the busses (going by),” LaCava said. “We thought palms trees would have a better chance of thriving in that condition and still give us the buffer for that project. It would add to the palm trees that are in front of the (adjacent) bank.” LaCava assured that any contaminated soil caused by gas tank seepage would be cleaned up before development begins. A noise study on the project is still forthcoming, he said. La Jollan Sally Miller questioned whether the project would significantly reduce visibility at that intersection, though LaCava said there would be nothing over three feet high at the corner of the property (which is indented to maintain visibility and add to the design aesthetic). In the end, DPR members requested of the applicant: a photo simulation of the Eads

Avenue side of the project, including views of at least the next three houses to the south (for bulk, scale and design comparison); the possibility of planting jacarandas along Pearl Street instead of palms; providing a materials sample board; additional variation in the surfaces of the east elevation fronting the alley; and additional landscaping along the alley. Conger said the property was developed as a Union Oil auto service station in 1964. According to the La Jolla Historical Society, it was part of the larger La Jolla Carwash during the 1950s and early ’60s. Conger purchased the station in 1999. If the project passes muster with La Jolla’s advisory groups, Conger said it should be considered by the San Diego Planning Commission before the end of the year, and could possibly break ground sometime next summer. The DPR committee was scheduled to consider the project for a final review at its meeting this week. La Jolla Light will include coverage of the meeting and the DPR’s decision in next week’s edition.

‘Buffy’ actress recounts Torrey Pines beach attack for upcoming TV series The premiere of Investigation Discovery’s new cable TV series, “Surviving Evil,” will include an account of the near-fatal attack on actress Charisma Carpenter at Torrey Pines State Beach. In 1991, Carpenter and two friends were swimming there when they were violently attacked by an armed, rogue police officer. Carpenter fought for her survival after being held at gunpoint, but her friends were both shot and seriously wounded. After helping police identify her attacker, Henry Hubbard (who was sentenced to 56 years in prison for the attacks in addition to a series of rapes and robberies), Carpenter went on to star as Cordelia Chase in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and its spin-off series, “Angel.” The “Surviving Evil” episode includes an interview with Carpenter (who is also the series’ host), as well as Arthur Gracia (a friend who was with her during the attack), Charmaine Agnos (who survived a previous attack by Hubbard) and retired police and sheriff’s officials who worked the case. The episode airs 10 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 28 on Former San Diegan and actress channel 214 (Time Warner), 260 (AT&T U-verse) and 285 Charisma Carpenter (DIRECTV). investigation.discovery.com

received complaints about trash and debris on the sidewalks, and that public trash bins are overflowing and unclean. While the LJVMA will do its best to keep on top of the trash bins, it is ultimately the city’s responsibility, he said. “If we start spending our funds solving a city issue, they will never come out again,” Coller said. “That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do anything about it — and I would request that every business, resident and visitor in La Jolla that feels offended by the mess call the city and tell them. We have to get action from the city to do the job that we’re all paying taxes (for).” Car Charging Stations Also during the meeting, Jacques Chirazi

with the City of San Diego’s economic development department and Clean Tech Program, asked merchants to consider what locations might be suitable in La Jolla to install electric car charging stations. Chirazi said there are currently 345 charging stations on public and private land in San Diego, or about 400 countywide. The charging stations are typically located at libraries, parks, recreation centers or on other city property, Chirazi said. However, if city property is not feasible, the city then looks at partnerships with private property owners and, as a last resort, considers locating them on city streets. Chirazi told La Jolla Light older model electric cars can get about 11-12 miles for an hour of charging, while newer models

can call the city’s Street Division at (619) 527-7500 to report sidewalks that pose an immediate trip-and-fall hazard. “They literally will come out within 48 hours to inspect it and do what they can immediately,” Chow said, noting that a city employee just patched the sidewalk south of his store (C&H Photo on upper Girard Avenue) with black asphalt. Though there are some instances in which the city may take responsibility for the sidewalk, such as when damage is caused by the roots of a city-owned tree within the PROW, both city and state law places the onus of the burden for maintaining sidewalks on the property owner (who may

“We need a list of good ideas of effective ways to spend $300,000 or $400,000 that will have lasting effects on coastal access and parking,” Allen said. “We’re taking about using that fund maybe as leverage for grants.” — E-mail suggestions to coastalparking@ lajollabythesea.com

City of San Diego Clean Tech Program Manager Jacques Chirazi asks merchants where La Jollans would agree to have electric car charging stations placed within the Village. can get about 24 miles per hour of charging. The stations are for people to charge their vehicles enough to extend their trips, though not for people to park their cars and charge them all day, he said. Chirazi said the city tentatively considered installing a charging station along seven parking spaces on Herschel Avenue near Torrey Pines Road, though it was deemed too costly. Another was proposed for Kline Street near Mary, Star of the Sea church, which was also abandoned after negative feedback from residents and parishioners (mainly due to potential traffic impacts). Coller and board member Trenton Bonner suggested the city consider renting space for a charging station from the operator of one of the Village’s private parking lots (Ace Parking and Sunset Parking Service), which they said are frequently more than half empty. Chirazi told the Light that the Vons grocery store parking lot on Girard Avenue would be and “ideal” location for a charging station. “I’m surprised some of the hotels are not offering (charging stations) for their guests,” Chirazi said. Chirazi said that for the public to become “confident” in electric car technology, and transition from combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles or hybrids, the city has to

build a reliable system of support infrastructure. Though community member Sherry Ahern said she believed electric cars to be an important component of the region’s evolving alternative energy solution, she said parking on La Jolla streets is already too scarce. “The only reason why we choose on-street (locations) is because we have no place else to put them,” Chirazi said. “On-street is the last resort.” LJVMA member Tom Brady suggested Chirazi bring the issue to La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation city advisory committee to get its input on potential locations. “I’m quite sure if it’s explained properly there will be a tremendous amount of community support for electric vehicles,” Brady said.

In other LJVMA news

n Parking input sought: Dan Allen, chair of the Coastal Access and Parking Board, said his committee is seeking input on how to best spend upwards of $400,000 in developer impact fees intended to improve access to the coast and parking in the Village. The money, amassing since the early 1990s, must be spent in a reasonable amount of time to avoid the city using it for other purposes.

n Art & Wine Festival: Sherry Ahern, founder of the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival (Oct. 12-13 along Girard Avenue) offered a presentation on this year’s event. Ahern said the free event is still in need of sponsors and volunteers, though the 179 vendor slots are all booked up. The event draws about 30,000 people to the Village. Proceeds benefit La Jolla’s three public elementary schools and one middle school. Last year’s event netted about $26,000 for the schools, Ahern said. — To volunteer or become a sponsor, visit lajollaartandwinefestival.org n Merchants partner with Concours: The LJVMA unanimously approved a promotional partnership with the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance for its 10th annual event, April 11-13, 2014 in Ellen Browning Scripps Park. Proceeds from the event benefit La Jolla Historical Society and the Monarch School. Coller said the LJVMA hopes to utilize the

area of Prospect Street between Herschel and Girard avenues that is normally closed off during the event to give people a taste of what the city-approved Belvedere Promenade project would look like once complete. The project would remove traffic from one side of Prospect and replace it with a pedestrian-only area where visitors could gaze at the ocean and enjoy café seating. n Haute Nights: Coller said no Business Improvement District (BID) funds are being used to produce the LJVMA’s monthly Haute La Jolla Nights music and shopping events in the Village, as some business owners have suggested. “We’ve budgeted BID funds to be used if necessary, (but) they aren’t being used,” Coller said. “We have had some comments from businesses that we should be spending the money in a different way, but we’re not spending (BID) money at all.” n Volunteer needed: The LJVMA is seeking a volunteer to serve as its representative to La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance advisory committee, which assures signage and façade changes are in accordance with the aesthetics of La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance (blueprint for development).

La Jolla consultant lands $260 per hour contract coaching embattled mayor

Students from Kaplan language school frequently darted across Torrey Pines Road during breaks to the dismay of nearby residents. The school moved its offices to downtown San Diego last week.

La Jolla management consultant and Filner coach Justin Gittelman’s book ‘Whole Mind Thinking’ is designed to help professionals connect individual performance to organizational alignment.

ccording to a report by the independent news website Voice of San Diego, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner hired La Jolla-based management consultant Justin Gittelman May 1 to assist his embattled office, which includes personal coaching. Filner hired Gittelman for $25,000 in city funds for up to one year of work. He is tasked with creating a strategic plan to improve overall performance of the mayor’s office, including professional, staff and organizational development for the mayor’s staff and “individual coaching with Mayor Filner.” According to a signed and dated copy of Gittelman’s contract, obtained by Voice of San Diego via a public records act request, Gittelman is required to have two individual coaching sessions with Filner every month. Gittelman is committed to 96 hours of work over the life of the contract, which would put his hourly rate at $260. Read the full report at bit.ly/Gittelman

Busy language school leaves La Jolla for downtown spot

aplan language school, formerly located in a three-story building on a busy section of Torrey Pines Road, has left La Jolla for a space on Sixth Avenue in downtown San Diego’s Gaslamp District. The bustling language school, which had more than 200 students enrolled in day and evening classes, was a source of frustration for some residents, who noted the dangers of students frequently darting across Torrey Pines Road during breaks, and a lack of adequate parking for students.

Though the school was located in an office building at 1111 Torrey Pines Road that includes an underground parking garage, a sign at the entrance to the garage read “no student parking.” During the last day of classes on Aug. 15, a representative for the school said it had outgrown the space in La Jolla, though declined to comment further on the relocation. The 5,000-square-foot space, which occupies the entire second floor, is currently for rent. — Pat Sherman

Seasonal CO2 amplitude growing

evels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere rise and fall as plants take up the gas in spring and summer and release it in fall and winter through photosynthesis and respiration. Now the range of that cycle is growing as more CO2 is emitted from the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities, according to a study led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego. Results come from a multi-year, airborne survey of atmospheric chemistry in which observations of atmospheric CO2 at altitudes between 3 and 6 kilometers (10,000 to 20,000 feet) show seasonal CO2 variations have substantially increased in amplitude over the last 50 years. This increase is roughly 50 percent across high latitude regions north of 45-degrees N, in comparison to previous aircraft observations from the late 1950s and early 1960s. This means more carbon is accumulating in forests and other vegetation and soils in the Northern Hemisphere during the summer, and more carbon is being released in the fall and winter. It is not yet understood why the increase in seasonal amplitude of CO2 concentration is so large, but it is a clear signal of widespread changes in northern ecosystems. — Findings appear in the journal Science.

Earthquake retrofits for ‘soft’ buildings Earthquakes are particularly damaging to multi-story dwellings with first-floor parking garages or street-level storefronts because these open spaces are prone to collapse. Tens of thousands of such structurally weak or “soft” buildings are found throughout California and nationwide, constituting a serious safety issue. Led by Colorado State University, a team of engineers from academic institutions, industry, and government entities spent last month shaking a four-story building at the Englekirk Structural Engineering Center (Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego) — the world’s largest outdoor “shake table” — to learn how to make structures better withstand seismic shocks. Earthquake retrofits were tested on a 44,000-square-foot building using a variety new and innovative materials: crosslaminated timber, straps and clips, steel special-moment-frames, anchor tied-down systems, and viscous fluid damper frames similar to car shocks. The wood structure — three stories atop an open first floor — survived three of four simulated seismic events of increasing

Mechanism helps viruses shut down body’s immune defense Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have discovered a previously unknown mechanism by which viruses such as influenza, West Nile and Dengue evade the body’s immune response and infect humans with these potentially deadly diseases. So-called “enveloped viruses” (because they possess an outer wrapping of a lipid membrane) disarm a host’s innate immune response by activating a class of molecules, known as TAM receptors, located on the

outside of immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells. TAM receptors are used by these cells to clean up dead cells, and they are also central to the body’s immune response to bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. Researchers found that a substance called phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) on the surface of enveloped viruses binds to extracellular proteins and activates TAM receptors on immune cells. In dendritic cells, TAM receptor activation turns off a set of genes disabling the interferon response which is key to antiviral defense. — Findings appear in the journal Cell Host and Microbe.

Ashley Olson is making a difference with dentistry By Marti Gacioch Ashley Olson, D.D.S. said she spent six years in the business world before finding her true career calling in dentistry. Olson, a native of Seattle, moved to San Diego 14 years ago to earn an undergraduate degree at the University of San Diego. She then joined the sales department for Stryker Medical Devices — cranial-facial division. Her position involved many hours in the operating room observing and assisting with head and neck surgeries. “Every day was different; there was always a new challenge,” Olson said. “It was that exposure to those surgeries that inspired me to pursue a career in dentistry.” She said that her lifelong interest in science and medicine helped. “I was fortunate to work for Stryker where I had both the business and medical exposure, and I debated between enrolling in medical school or dental school. I finally chose USC School of Dentistry,” she said. “I find I still use my business skills to show leadership and help run a business and manage a wonderful team in an office where

Like most dentists, Olson said she takes continuing education courses to stay updated on the newest surgical techniques, including a recent in-depth implant course. ”I truly love that I get to make a difference in patients’ lives by enhancing their quality of life through my skills,” Olson said. “There is so much that is rewarding about dentistry; I love the patient interaction with unique people each day, knowing they’re going to be long-term relationships, and I love getting to create beautiful smiles.”

Arthritis Foundation to present tips for living with rheumatoid arthritis When your doctor told you she suspected you had rheumatoid arthritis, you probably thought, “Arthritis? That’s a disease old people get.” You’re thinking of osteoarthritis, the most common kind of arthritis, a disease in which cartilage in the joints breaks down. It does become more prevalent with age. Though rheumatoid arthritis affects the joints, it’s a disease of the immune system, which normally protects us from infection by attacking viruses and bacteria. For reasons no one fully understands, rheumatoid arthritis causes the immune system to go awry and mistakenly attack healthy cells such as the synovium, a thin membrane that lines the joints. As a result of the attack, fluid builds up in the joints, causing pain and inflammation. Over time, this can wear away the

usually becomes systemic, affecting organs such as the skin, heart and lungs. Rheumatoid arthritis most commonly affects the joints of the hands, feet, wrists, elbows, knees and ankles. While there’s no cure for this chronic disease, its symptoms often come and go. Periods of mild disease activity may be punctuated by flares — bouts of more intense activity and symptoms. In some cases, with appropriate treatment, the disease goes into remission. If you’ve just been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, you should know you’re not alone. The disease affects an estimated 1.5 million Americans — three times more women than men. The usual age for adult onset is between 40 and 60 years, but it can begin at any age, even in childhood.

Marilyn Blow Bar joins the hair trend Marilyn Blow Bar, a designated area within the ProRituals Salon and Academy at 7443 Girard Ave., opened in May and is yet another spot in La Jolla to get a blowout hairstyle (completing the list in a story in the July 25 La Jolla Light). Like other salons in La Jolla, a blowout is $35 for any length and texture of hair, though for thicker strands that require a flatiron, there is an additional $15 charge. Named for the unique hourglass-shaped Marilyn Brush used by stylist Terrance Michael Renk, Marilyn Blow Bar prides itself on one-on-one customer service and styling based on whatever best suits the client. Renk is the 2011 Daytime Emmy winner for hairstyling. He said he agrees with other La Jolla stylists who maintain that the blowout is here to stay.

OPINION

Hoping the best for La Jolla High … In regard to your Aug. 15 cover story, “Search underway for new principal at La Jolla High,” I am curious to know how 100 parents of current and former LJHS students knew about the Aug. 6 meeting? WHO WAS NOTIFIED? BY WHOM? HOW WERE THEY NOTIFIED? One other concern I have from information in Pat Sherman’s article relates to the viceprincipal positions at LJHS. The remaining viceprincipal, Will Hawthorne, is brand new (less than a full semester) at LJHS, just learning the job and campus himself. He’ll be the trainer of the new principal? And, this is all happening after the students arrive on campus to begin the new school year? Scary. Joyce Singer Abrams La Jolla

Please come join the Village cleanup Saturday For all of us who have written to the Light regarding the littering and trash problem, we now can join the Cornerstone Church of La Jolla on their second weekend of clean up, Saturday, Aug. 24, meet at 9:30 a.m., park at 835 Pearl St. and check in. I admire this group of people who have taken to good old elbow grease. No committee, no funds to be raised, just cooperating as a team to spruce up La Jolla. Please join me. Many hearts, minds, and hands doing the work that is needed. Cathleen Christian La Jolla

We need to ban the leaf-blowers … period! In support of Howard Tenenbaum’s letter of Aug. 1, of all the issues that plague “The Jewel,” I found the mention of leaf-blowers got my hackles up the most. I wake up to leaf blowers; they are the background noise that starts and stops my day. I read online that 20 California cities have total bans on leaf-blowers, including Del Mar and Solana Beach, and in Los Angeles you can get cited for using a leaf-blower within 500 feet of a residence. I’ve observed the operation and use of leafblowers around town. My observations include the following: noise (obviously); clouds of dust blown erratically in every direction, and then specifically aimed at the delineation of a neighbor’s property line, driveway or fence, and mostly aimed toward storm drains. You know, storm drains — the ones with the imprint of the cute little dolphin, reminding us that what goes down that drain ends up in the ocean?

OUR VIEW Table, California Closets, Goodwill) spruce-ups at venerable sites (St. James Episcopal Church, La Valencia, La Jolla Historical Society, Top of the Cove, Prospect Street buildings); tasty new dining choices (Amaya, Iberico, The Hake); a plan for cleaning the Cove stench; and the installation of more free-spirited murals for a total of 11 public contemporary masterpieces,

OUR READERS WRITE I care a lot about many environmental issues that swirl about us, but this one should be a nobrainer. Who needs this extra noise that rattles the nerves, fuels allergies, disturbs the peace, and pollutes the air and water? Does it positively contribute to our community? Why not just sweep? Neva Sullaway La Jolla

Leaf-blower use must be banned It is Saturday, and as I sit here writing this, the Songbird of La Jolla — the weed blower — is belching out its sweet sound and noxious fumes. The property owners, much like owners of barking dogs, seem oblivious to this ENDLESS noise cycle. Gardeners seem unable to blow a 10-foot square yard in less than 20 minutes — OFTEN TWICE — and then blow it all over the cars or into the house next door where THEIR gardener then blows it ALL back. Are myself, Eric and Howard, THE ONLY ONES WHO GET THIS? La Jollans seem absolutely mindless and clueless, oblivious to everything but their own little worlds. “Why is my house sooo dusty?” Gee. Rocket science. I spoke with a woman from law enforcement about Del Mar’s COMPLETE BAN on weed blowers. I was told that although they are still in use, it is done VERY quickly, so that often by the time officers respond to the reported location, the DBF (Dust-Blowing Fool) has already gone. So rather than the requisite 1-2 minutes per square foot of property in La Jolla, dirt, trash and dust is quickly blown on to the street, cars, and others yards within a few moments (at least), rather than the baffling 20-40 minutes required here. And to all those who scoff at this, go look up the effects of noise like this on the human psyche. Is it any wonder 70 percent of Americans are now pharmaceutically medicated? Thanks for your letter, Eric. We seem to be the few. Rand Hogen WindanSea

Why are motorcyclists in town so often? Very, very frequently I hear through my windows what sounds like a group of motorcycles streaming — with much noise — to the nearby intersection. It happens so often, I thought someone might know if there is a meeting of motorcyclists, or is it a race that is held regularly? Julia Blake La Jolla

Women Occupy San Diego (WOSD) in partnership with League of Women Voters-San Diego; International Museum of Human Rights at San Diego; Women’s Equity Council, United Nations Association-San Diego Chapter; Women’s Museum of California; Bilateral Safety Corridor Coalition; and American Women for International Understanding are kicking off a campaign, “No More Excuses. Stop it now!” to declare San Diego as ground zero for ending violence against women in every form. The kick-off event is 6-9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24 at World Beat Center, 2100 Park Blvd., San Diego 92101. Speakers at the event will present an overview of how violence is perpetrated against women and actions we must take to end it. The Occupellas and spoken word artists from Page to Stage: Women’s Words will provide their interpretations of the problem and solutions. As part of the “No More Excuses. Stop it now!” campaign, WOSD and its community partners will present a series of educational programs focusing on different manifestations of violence against women and girls. The first workshop, “Speak Up!” addresses the problem of sexual harassment, and provides training on recognizing and responding to such illegal behavior in the workplace and on campus. Violence against women is the most pervasive human rights violation on Earth — and the most costly. Trillions of dollars are wasted and millions of lives impacted because of the many forms of violence against women and girls. Such violence occurs everywhere: within our homes or family (e.g., battering, spousal rape, iincest); within our communities (e.g., rape, sexual harassment, trafficking, stalking), and within/ by our military (e.g., sexual assault of military women, rape as a weapon of war, and torture). All San Diegans are invited to get involved with this campaign to end violence against women and girls. As Michelle Bachelet, former President of Chile and former Executive Director, UN Women, said: “There can be no peace, no progress, as long as there is discrimination and violence against women.” Join the conversation and the movement.

The Bishop’s School student receives Congressional Award Jacob Chasan, a sophomore at The Bishop’s School, was presented with the Congressional Award by La Jolla resident and U.S. Congressmember Scott Peters (D-52nd) on July 26. The Congressional Award recognizes youth between the ages of 14 and 23 who achieve personally challenging goals that build character and foster community service, personal development and citizenship. Chasan completed more than 190 hours of public service as a senior patrol leader of his Boy Scout troop to earn the Congressional Award as a bronze medalist. Chasan satisfied the physical fitness component of the award by joining his school’s squash team, where he earned his varsity letter while learning about teamwork and collaboration. To satisfy the “exploration” requirement for the award, he planned a trip to Barona Cultural Center where he tape recorded the difficulties facing Native American youth. At age 12, Chasan began producing apps for the iTunes App Store and the Google Play Store. He currently has several apps available for download including: Downton Trivia Quiz, Pranxter, Knights Polo, Booki It!, The Bishop’s School, Sherlock Trivia Quiz, SAT 2400 Grammar and others. In addition, Chasan worked with Boy Scouts of America to create an app to help other Scouts with their journey to become Eagle Scouts. Chasen satisfied the personal growth requirement by expanding his app and website business by 25 percent. To obtain the next level of the Congressional

Gillispie to begin school year with new sports field just looks beautiful,” said Fleming, who credits school trustee and Building and Grounds Chair Mike Ryan with keeping the project on schedule and seeing it to fruition. “Because of Mike Ryan it ran, incredibly, like clockwork,” Fleming said. “It really moved along.” Late last week cement for the sidewalk in front of the field’s barrier wall on Fay

Avenue was being re-poured. Evergreen ash trees and other landscaping are being added there this week. The inside of the wall on Fay Avenue features concrete seating for parents and students that will be padded for safety. Planters on either side will include trees and flowers that can be planted and maintained by students.

Last year the independent learning institution purchased the 7,500 square-foot parcel at 7411 Fay Ave. on which to construct the field, for a little more than $1 million. A private dedication ceremony for Gillispie School family and friends will be at 5 p.m. Sept. 6, at which time the field will be renamed for a person Fleming said is near and

Gillispie Head of School Alison Fleming said she expects the work will be complete when classes resume at Gillispie Tuesday, Aug. 27. dear to Gillispie parents and administrators. Upper Girard reconfiguration In addition, the portion of upper Girard Avenue which fronts The Gillispie School and La Jolla Elementary School will be a little safer when classes resume, thanks to a city traffic-calming measure in the final stages of construction. To slow traffic along that stretch of Girard, where Fleming said there have been a lot of “near misses,” the city has added a concrete median and narrowed the street to only one lane in either direction. Ryan said many residents use that stretch of upper Girard as a shortcut to the Muirlands area and WindanSea.

To narrow the street, Ryan said city engineers extended the curb, leaving in its place 12 to 16 feet of concrete between the curb and the sidewalk, where there is typically only six feet. “We could play half-court basketball out there now,” joked Ryan, who is working with the city to see if some of the concrete can be replaced with low-lying shrubbery or other groundhugging greenery to soften the visual impact while keeping the view corridor open. “Hopefully they will acquiesce, but that’s out of our control,” Ryan said. “We will have to eventually live with their decision on that.” In addition, Fleming said the city would add a traffic calming light to the crosswalk on Girard between Gillispie and La Jolla Elementary.

La Jolla oral surgeon will travel to India as conference keynoter By Ashley Mackin La Jolla oral surgeon Dr. Peter Nordland, DMD, MS, has spent the past 25 years traveling and teaching — and he’s not stopping now. On Oct. 21, Nordland will depart for India to be the keynote speaker at the Indian Society of Periodontology National Conference. He will also give six smaller talks about his specialties in oral plastic surgery and perform a surgical demonstration for the 1,500 doctors expected to attend. Norland has had a private practice at 850 Prospect St. since 1989. The year before, he helped form the International Society of Periodontal Plastic Surgeons (ISPPS). “Because of the international flair of the group, we get a lot of people interested in raising the consciousness and level of care in their area of the world,” he said. Nordland has been the president of ISPPS for the last three years, which was the basis for his invitation to speak in India. “One of the best things about traveling to another country is getting to understand others’ cultures and realize how different people can be, but also how similar we can be,” he said. This will be his first trip to India, but he has previously traveled to Japan, Holland, England, Italy, Mexico, Canada and Chile for similar teaching opportunities. He said his keynote presentation would showcase newer technologies in oral surgery, but what he’s most excited about is the demonstration. “It will be done at the university in Puni. They’ll film the surgery as I’m doing it with a live feed from the surgical center to a larger room,” he said. “The doctors will be able to ask questions while I’m performing the procedure (such as) ‘Why did you make your incision there?’ or ‘Why are you taking bone from that side?’ — questions to figure out the thinking process. “Having a teaching scenario like this allows doctors to see, rather than try to imagine during a lecture, (what I’m doing) — especially on that small scale.” SEE ORAL SURGEON, B8

Taste of Tijuana Institute brings south-of-the-border art, food, wine, music and dance to La Jolla

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt f you’ve heard about the new culinary, art and music scene that’s sprung up in Tijuana but haven’t felt like battling the border-crossing traffic to see it for yourself, here’s a chance, locally. The Institute of the Americas, an independent nonprofit based on the UC San Diego campus that has been encouraging investment and informationsharing between the United States and Latin America for the past 30 years, is hosting a grand event Saturday, Aug. 24, which will give folks on this side of the border a taste of the other side’s art, music, dance, wine and cuisine.

Called “Flavors of the Americas: Tijuana, Baja & Beyond,” the event is a collaboration with IMAC (Tijuana’s Institute of Arts and Culture), which is dedicated to positioning the city as a cultural center. Last August, the two institutes partnered to present “The Roots of Art,” a touring exhibit of artworks from across Latin America. This year, they decided to focus on the many facets of the new Tijuana, and turn the event into more of a happening. “We want to create an experience, where one thing flows into another,

Let Inga Tell You

Neighbors you wish would evaporate

La Jolla Cultural Partners

very neighborhood seems to have its requisite nutcase. Over the years, I’ve done informal research on this subject by querying friends if they have at least one problem neighbor. I’ve never had anyone say no. In fact, I usually get a 20-minute diatribe on the wingnut who is terrorizing their particular block. One of our highest priorities has always been getting along with the people who live around us. Fortunately, we’re had nice neighbors over the years with the exception of two that we were really happy to see go. One died (but not soon enough) and the other moved (but not soon enough either). Two bad neighbors over several decades is actually pretty good. But even one difficult neighbor can wreak a lot of havoc. Sometimes it was hard to stick to our inviolable rule: No matter what, do not escalate. But we’ve entertained some very ugly fantasies about their cats. The houses in my area are in close proximity so it doesn’t take much noise for the entire block to hear it. Still, my husband and I consider most noise to be in the category of the music of life. Dogs, kids, parties, the occasional loud band. We often comment that not hearing these sounds would be the hardest part of ever

moving to a retirement home in our old age. Of course, even the music of life can occasionally get seriously out of tune. Chainsaws on weekends. Or drums, ever. We also remind ourselves that for years, WE were the noisiest family on the block. We had one of the few pools in the neighborhood then and multiple trees with tree forts, a veritable attractive nuisance. Everybody came to play. But even so, our elderly, spinster, retired teacher, next-door neighbor never complained once in her 25 years there. We could never tell whether this was because she was just an incredibly sweet lady (she was) or because she was deaf. Actually, she WAS fairly deaf but we never wanted to explore whether our kids had contributed to it. The first of our two terrible neighbors was one we encountered a year after we moved in. All of a sudden we were getting regular notices from the La Jolla Town Council that a neighbor had complained we were “not maintaining our property.” We were puzzled as we took great pride in our place. Turns out that an elderly lady down the block felt our trees were blocking the breeze, which she maintained her doctor had prescribed for her Raynaud’s Syndrome. (My then-husband, a physician,

The bar at Davanti Enoteca gets lively as the sun sets.

Eat, drink and be merry at Davanti Enoteca By Kelley Carlson lively neighborhood wine bar with a Mediterranean flavor has opened in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. Davanti Enoteca — Davanti translates as “in the front (of)” — is rustic and casual. During the day, it’s bright and relaxed with guests sipping wine on the covered patio surrounded by lemon trees. As the sun sets, the lights dim and the atmosphere grows vibrant, enhanced by upbeat music. Lined along one of the exposed brick walls are bottles of vino, 60 percent of them from Italy. The decor incorporates proverbs such as “Noi non potemo avere perfetta vita senza amici” (“We cannot have a perfect life without friends”). The dining room is perhaps the ideal place to experience Davanti Enoteca, said Assistant General Manager Jessica Wakely, because the large windows are often open to permit a breeze, and it’s a vantage point for people-watching. Before perusing the menu, customers may first want to order the Focaccia di Recco, a thin-baked, golden bread filled with soft cheeses with a piece of honeycomb on top, along with a fruity, dry glass of Gavi white wine from the Piemonte region. With appetizer and glass in hand, it’s time to study the offerings, much of which incorporates local ingredients and is based

All five of the Davanti Enoteca establishments (including those in San Diego and Illinois) have a core menu, but some items are specific to the location. One staple at all sites is the Truffle Egg Toast with fontina and asparagus. There is also the seasonal Roasted Corn Salad tossed with walnuts, mushrooms, arugula, aged goat cheese and rosemary oil, and served hot. Another dish of note: The Mascarpone Polenta and Ragu of the Day consists of a soft, white cornmeal blended with mascarpone cheese for a creamy consistency. The mascarpone is brought to the table in a pot,

It pairs well with a dark red Primitivo that is bold and fruity. Special to the Del Mar list is the Crispy Pork Ribs topped with saba, bacon and hazelnuts and served with gorgonzola dolce coleslaw.

Patrons often select reds such as the full-bodied Barbera d’Asti or the concentrated Rosso Piceno to accompany it. Among the available desserts is the rich Caramel Budino, layers of pudding with chocolate cookie crumbles at the base. To aid in the digestion of all this food, there is the Limoncello, a fizzy, smooth after-dinner liqueur that is popular in Naples and along the Amalfi Coast. “We really pride ourselves on our servers,” Wakely said. “They know the menu front and back; they know every ingredient and dish.”

Handcrafted Almond Butter and Jelly Sandwich

Catharine L. Kaufman

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches: Persona non grata in school yards? “Peanut butter is the pâté of childhood.” — Florence Fabricant hances are a majority of back-toschool lunch boxes will contain a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, especially since (statistically speaking) the average American child will consume more than 2,500 of these iconic duos before they graduate high school.

From the Peanut Gallery n Peanut butter is eaten in 90 percent of American households. n Women and children prefer creamy varieties, while men choose chunky. n April 2 is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. n The world’s biggest PB&J sandwich was created in Grand Saline, Texas, in 2010 weighing 1,342 pounds (720 pounds of bread, 493 pounds of peanut butter, 129 pounds of jelly). nA rchibutyrophobia is the fear of getting peanut butter stuck to your palate

In the beginning St. Louis physician Ambrose Straub laid a solid claim to the creation of peanut butter in 1880 when he crushed the legumes into a palatable paste for his geriatric patients with dental problems. Two decades later, Dr. Straub received the patent for the peanut grinding mill, and sold the commercial rights to Bayle Food Products. The food novelty was soon available in bulk tubs in groceries throughout the land until Peter Pan and Skippy launched their brands in the 1920s and ’30s. Depressionera moms, along with WWII soldiers, started adding jelly to the sandwiches to make the peanut butter less adhesive to the roof of the mouth. This cheap (24 cents a jar) and hearty snack stood the test of time, and today American consumers spend $800 million yearly on the spreadable stuff, making more than 10 billion PB&J sandwiches — and that’s no peanuts! What’s inside? Peanut butter has loads of folate and 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients (including stress- and brain fatigue-busting B vitamins) and is naturally cholesterolfree and rife with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. However, the bad news for peanut butter and jellyphiles is daunting. It seems that the inexpensive-stick-to-your-ribsvegetarian-protein is going to seed. Peanuts are susceptible to strains of fungi called Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus that form on the legumes stored in moist, warm silos. These molds produce an

n Ingredients (Use organics, where possible) • 2 cups roasted unsalted almonds • 1 teaspoon honey (clover, blossom, your choice) • Choice of flavorings (1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of cocoa powder, few drops of almond or vanilla extract without alcohol) • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt aflatoxin, a notorious allergen and potential carcinogen. Although the U.S. Government tests for aflatoxin levels, forbidding crops exceeding 20 parts per billion, the sneaky compound continues to grow while sitting on supermarket shelves. There’s more. Peanut crops grown in the south are also exposed to residual pesticides from their rotated cropmate, cotton. But even organic peanut butter, which is free of pesticides and additives like corn syrup, emulsifiers and hydrogenated oils that also trigger allergies, might still contain the aflatoxin. For diehard peanut butter and jelly fans, standing advice applies — moderation, along with buying organic, locally grown, if possible, and freshly ground at natural supermarkets. Refrigerate peanut butter at all times to

beer and wine vendors, arts and crafts booths. Food Bank asks all to bring two cans of food • SDBluesFest.com

n Method In a food processor, grind the nuts and sea salt, gradually adding the honey and flavorings until the nut mixture has reached the desired smoothness. (If you like chunky, toss in a handful of nuts at the end.) Spread on your favorite bread or toast and top with a crisp lettuce leaf. Slather a layer of fruit spread on the other slice. Serve with crust intact and carrot and celery sticks. put the skids on the growth of aflatoxin, and toss after a month or two. Finally, keep PB&J far and away from those with peanut sensitivities. As for the jelly part, although grape is the most popular choice, at least make it organic or pick natural all-fruit preserves without added sweeteners. Whole-wheat bread also trumps refined, pasty-white in terms of its fatty acid profile, as well as fiber, folate, potassium, protein, trace vitamins and minerals. One in four kids wants the crust removed, but try to break that picky habit as the crust contains a mother lode of dietary fiber and antioxidants.

so guests can have a feel for the kind of rebirth that’s now going on just across the border,” said Institute of the Americas Development Director Sherry White. The evening will begin at 6 p.m. at the Institute’s outdoor plaza, with brief introductory remarks by Tijuana notables. Then guests will move into the gallery, where paintings and photographs by a dozen Baja artists will be on display. These pieces, and others, will be available for purchase, with a percentage of the sales going to the Institute as a donation. Starting at 7 p.m., there will be tastings of “Mexiterranean” tidbits from Romesco, one of the popular Plascencia group of restaurants that includes the original, now fully remodeled, Caesar’s. There will also be a half-dozen wines from Guadalupe Valley and some Baja brews, accompanied by impromptu dance performances (think flash-mob, minus the mob). Dancers will include Aire Flamenco, with the dynamic Norma Michel and her guitarist, Hiram Gutierrez, and a tango duo, Miguel Angel Reynaga and Sandra Martinez. The highlight of the evening will be the 8 p.m. appearance of Madame Ur and Her Men, a nuevo cabaret/ indie jazz group that is surely like nothing you’ve seen or heard lately. Fronted by Azzul Monraz, a mild-mannered Tijuana art teacher and mom by day who transforms herself into a soulful and glamorous roots-and-art-rock-influenced diva onstage, the band — which wowed the crowds at their Del Mar Fair concert in June — brings a flavor all their own to La Jolla from south of the border.

Scientists, surfers join up to wipe out cancer By Greg Wiest t was a beautiful day for the 20th annual Luau and Longboard Invitational on Aug. 18 at Scripps Pier, which featured some of the biggest names in surfing teaming up with amateurs to raise research funds for the UC San Diego Moores Cancer

Center. I’m not sure how much money was netted, but the mai tais were flowing, and the bidders were bidding! What a great group of people! This year’s Rell Sunn Award was presented to Kary Mullis. In 1993, Mullis won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his invention of the

polymerase chain reaction, considered one of the most monumental scientific techniques of the 20th century. The event included an auction of one-of-akind prizes and entertainment by Hawaiian folk rock singer Anuhea and traditional Polynesian dancing from Heali’i’s Polynesian Revue.

From ROCKIN’ COACH, B1 “Stairway to Heaven” riff). Meanwhile, Sage was busy taking piano and voice lessons at night. Twelve years of music study paid off. Sage would go on to tour with Vince Neil of Motley Crue and write and record with rock band, Velvet Revolver. He currently serves as lead singer of the Bay City Rollers starring Ian Mitchell (one of two incarnations of the tartan-clad, Scottish pop band that penned the No. 1, 1975 hit “Saturday Night”). He also fronts the Bon Jovi tribute band “Livin’ on a Prayer,” and performs with other musicians regularly at La Jolla hotpots such as Beaumont’s Eatery and Amaya. In between his busy schedule, Sage penned a book about a system of tennis instruction he developed while simultaneously teaching celebrities and studying music that is based on chord progressions. Sage (born Eric Crabb in Toronto) will sign copies of his book, “The Magic Key to Tennis,” and talk about his career as an instructor and rock performer at noon, Sunday, Aug. 25 at Warwick’s bookstore, 7812 Girard Ave. Sage said his method is particularly useful in helping people learn how to master topspin, in which a player puts a spin on a ball to make it bounce or travel far, high or quick, usually by hitting it with a sharp, forward and upward stroke. “Topspin is truly the key to what the pros are doing,” said Sage, 42. “I’m always amazed that it’s not discussed more and

They’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, I just need to hit three feet over the net and it goes in the perfect spot every time.” When not on the courts, Sage can be found making female audiences “freak out” as an ersatz Bon Jovi (a well-paying gig he

grew into after an agent saw him performing Bon Jovi songs at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas), or touring with Mitchell in his version of the Bay City Rollers. “It’s so fun and interesting to watch all these people singing every lyric of these songs and wearing the tartan clothes,” Sage said. “Not only are there 50-year-old women throwing panties, but their 20-yearold daughters are there. I throw on leather pants and do my thing. That’s part of the fun, I think, is that they get to relive that part of their lives.” Sage’s own trip down memory lane includes moving to San Diego at age 17, where he studied tennis at San Diego State University on a full ride scholarship.

Three Kinds of Care at Home Care Assistance Our three tiers of care are always available to clients at no extra cost!

BuIlT IN 2013 By AwARd wINNINg

Home Care Assistance covers the three major areas of home care: Balanced Care, Dementia Care and Post-hospitalization Care. We provide specially trained caregivers for each of these areas. Just take a look... Balanced Care is for those seniors who choose to age in their own homes. All caregivers receive training in the Balanced Care MethodTM, a program that promotes healthy mind, body and spirit for aging adults. Cognitive Therapeutics is provided to help delay memory problems. We use specially trained caregivers to provide an active set of cognitive activities to slow the progression of dementia. Hospital to Home Care is for those seniors who need help after a medical incident. We are the experts on a smooth recovery at home, having written the popular book From Hospital to Home Care. One last thing... Other home care agencies require strict contracts and special charges. There could be hidden meal-time rates, transportation charges, an over-night rate or even a bathing rate. Not so at Home Care Assistance. We have no contracts or obligations! There are never hidden fees! And our caregivers are available 24/7 at the economical live-in rate!

othing is sacred when it comes to comedians taking on the follies of San Diego in Second City Theatricals’ “The Good, The Bad and The I-5,” on stage in the La Jolla Playhouse’s Mandell Weiss Forum through Sept. 1. When the writers swept into town last month to garner material for the show, they struck pay dirt. La Jollans weren’t spared their satirical slings and arrows — among the skits are roasts of folks in La Jolla, Santee and El Cajon. There are also playful pokes at The Zoo, Children’s Pool, Comic-Con, the U-T, and of course, Bob Filner sprinkled throughout the show. Tickets from $15 are available at (858) 550-1010.

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 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.

Coldwell Banker raises $48,000 at charity golf event Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage hosted the company’s seventh annual Charity Golf Tournament on June 10 at the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo. The event was a benefit for the Coldwell Banker Community Foundation, a charitable organization that combines the resources of the company’s agents, staff and affiliates, directing their efforts through financial contributions and promoting volunteerism to organizations throughout the community. The daylong event featured a golf

tournament, cocktail hour, raffle, silent and live auctions and dinner to raise more than $48,000, the largest amount to date. The Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego will be the main beneficiary of the proceeds, along with 130 other communitybased non-profits. The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions enriching the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Approximately 200 wishes are granted by the Make-A-Wish San Diego Chapter annually.

‘Luxury U.S. home market being driven to new heights’ ‘Fannie Mae: Confidence in home price gains’ ‘Local home sales jumped 15 percent in May: Median prices continue their steady climb’ These are just a few of the headlines you read in the news today. The truth is the figures support these headlines! This is due to several factors which include shortage of homes for sale, historically low interest rates and high buyer demand. As of Aug. 1, 2013, there were 304 properties on the market in La Jolla. This includes condos, some in UTC area. This number is down from years past. These asking prices range from $218,000 to $17,750. The number of properties in pending is 113, with 68 being under $1 million. Two are in the high end above $15 million. The number of properties sold as of Aug. 1, 2013 is 465, with 236 of those sales being under $1 million. The highest closed sale as

of Aug. 1, 2013 is $12 million. The number of properties sold this time last year was 372, showing sales are up! The highest price sale for last year was $15 million. These figures are taken from Sandicor, the Multiple Listing Service for San Diego area, for 92037 ZIP code. These are just a few of the figures and market trends that your REBA professional real estate agents are monitoring for you. If you have questions, or want more housing market information, contact a local REBA real estate agent. We have been going strong since the Great Gatsby 1920s and getting stronger each year.

La Jolla is home, and like all homes, it needs maintenance and TLC. Mere tax dollars aren’t enough. Together, we can pool our resources to keep La Jolla the jewel that it is. The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis. Membership is open to all La Jollans who care. Join the LJCF and have a voice in selecting annual grant recipients – making a difference here, at home, where you live. Please join us. Annual local projects will receive 75% of your contribution and the other remaining 25% will go into a permanent endowment. To make a contribution, please go to lajollacommunityfoundation.org and click on GET INVOLVED. Become a member today!
