Shores merchants upset over utility construction By Ashley Mackin After receiving notice Aug. 19 from the city about the schedule for the resumption of the Avenida De La Playa Infrastructure Replacement project and Group Job 809 in La Jolla Shores, residents and business owners held a meeting Aug. 21 in the Shoreline Kitchen restaurant. They met to discuss their fears surrounding the amount of time needed to complete the infrastructure improvement and the city’s insufficient communications. The memo announced that construction would

resume on Avenida De La Playa on Sept. 2, after Labor Day (in accordance with the summer construction moratorium). Starting at the western intersection of Camino Del Sol, work would continue eastward block-by-block, installing box culverts on one block and concurrently replacing sewer and water lines on the street, with work on the last block scheduled to start in late November. Special attention would be given to the annual Fall Fest block party in October. The new pipes inspection and final street paving is scheduled for

February and March, 2015. The project first got underway Dec. 9, 2013 and was put on hold May 26 for the summer moratorium. Surf Diva co-owner Izzy Tihanyi said construction and subsequent street closures would hurt businesses. “A lot of merchants are worried because we have full-time employees we have to pay, who are supporting their families,” she told La Jolla Light.

Community phone scam alert CRIME NEWS

he San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is alerting residents to a scam in which the victim receives a call claiming there is a warrant out for his or her arrest. The caller typically tells the person the warrant has been issued due to a failure to pay taxes or to appear for jury duty, but may entail other false threats. The caller is very pushy and poses as an employee of the sheriff’s department. To make the pitch convincing, the scammer will: use the name of an actual sheriff’s department employee; give the actual phone number of a sheriff’s station or substation; have some of your personal information such as a former address or your date of birth; threaten you with jail time or taking away your driver license; ask for more personal information and/ or money, either with a credit, debit or prepaid card. Recent cases have involved scammers using a technique called “caller spoofing,” in which the call appears to be coming from a legitimate government agency such as the sheriff’s department. Impersonating a sheriff’s deputy is a violation of state law. No deputy

or employee of the sheriff’s department will ever contact members of the public by telephone to demand money or any other form of payment. If you get this type of call, hang up immediately. If you receive one of these calls, go to the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) website fcc.gov/complaints to report the incident. If you are a victim of a scam, call the sheriff’s department at (858) 565-5200.

he long-vacant commercial space at 1216 Prospect St. that was once home to Top of the Cove restaurant is getting a new lease on life. The space is scheduled to open in fall 2015 as Duke’s, a high-end seafood and steak restaurant founded in 1977 that pays homage to Hawaiian surfing legend, swimmer and actor, Duke Kahanamoku (1890-1968). “The restaurants are pretty specific to the site, so while they’re themed and they honor Duke Kahanamoku, they also honor the beach lifestyle in each of the locations where the restaurants are,” said Jessica Mills of Cenci Ventures, the PR firm for TS Restaurants, which operates 13 high-end eateries, including other Duke’s locations and Jake’s Del Mar restaurant. “I expect you will see some things specific to the La Jolla location honoring the surf culture that grew up there and is still alive and well in La Jolla.” A creative team that includes Hatch Design Group and La Jolla-based Marengo Morton Architects and Sixteenfifty Creative Intelligence (Rancho Valencia and L’Auberge Del Mar) will design and build out the two-story interior space, which includes ocean-view decks on both levels. One of two iconic, remaining ficus trees on Prospect Street dramatically extends through a cutout in the roof of the building. “The exterior is finished, but none of the kitchen, bathrooms or staircases is done,” Mills said. “We’re still very early on. It’s going to be a Duke’s but we don’t know exactly what we’re going to call it.” Michael Burton of Cassidy Turley’s Urban Strategies Group brokered the lease for TS Restaurants, on behalf of property owner Sheila Lipin of SGL Holdings. Mills said TS Restaurants signed a long-term lease, but declined to disclose the duration. Other Duke’s locations are in Waikiki, Maui and Kauai Hawaii, and in Huntington Beach and Malibu, California.

n Petition drive grows for opponents of La Jolla Village Square trolley stop Residents near La Jolla Village Square (LJVS) mall have gathered 350 signatures on a petition to prevent an elevated trolley station and parking structure from being constructed at the mall. The project is part of the northward extension of the San Diego Trolley that includes stops at UC San Diego, the VA Medical Center and UTC Westfield Mall. The group is headed by Steve Arndt of Villas Mallorca complex (on Villa La Jolla Drive, west of LJVS mall). The signatures were gathered within a 45-day period. In a letter to San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, the San Diego City Council, the San Diego Association of Governments’ (SANDAG) board of directors and California Coastal Commission, Arndt said “the response by residents in such a short period of time proves there is something seriously wrong with the current plan.” “The current plan for a railway station and a parking garage at LJVS is a significant waste of taxpayer money,” Arndt said. “The stated need for the project is to better serve UC San Diego. Plans already include several nearby stops at the VA Medical Center and UCSD locations, making yet another stop at LJVS unnecessary and not a good fit for the La Jolla community.” In a separate letter to SANDAG Executive Director Gary Gallegos, Arndt suggests “using the existing ‘Coaster’ railroad corridor would save millions of taxpayer dollars and eliminate much of the expensive elevated concrete railway. Another solution is placing the rail tracks at road level or underground until the rail line passes Nobel Drive, as the neighborhood suggested at a March 13, 2014 meeting with SANDAG.” Concerns regarding congestion, public safety, noise and blight can be read online at LaJollaPetition.com u — Compiled by Pat Sherman

Dr. William Brody’s piano solo delights Symphony at Salk patrons

record 700 guests attended the 19th annual Symphony at Salk concert under the stars Aug. 23, where after cocktails and dinner, they were treated to a stirring performance of George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” by Salk Institute for Biological Studies President William R. Brody, M.D., Ph.D., at the piano. Dr. Brody was backed by members of the San Diego Symphony, under the direction of maestro Thomas Wilkins, which had just finished playing Rossini’s “Overture to La gazza ladra.” With an armful of roses and to thunderous applause, Brody left the stage and dessert was served during intermission. Act Two featured selections from the Great American Songbook deftly performed by song-and-dance man Matthew Morrison of “Glee” and Broadway fame. The Salk Institute is this year marking the 100th birthday of Dr. Jonas Salk (1914-1995), who died of heart failure at age 80. Salk, who founded the institute for cutting-edge biological research in 1960, made TIME magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century. He saved countless lives through his polio vaccine, introduced in 1952. The architecturally inspirational Salk Institute was designed by Louis Kahn to manifest Salk’s vision of “a crucible of creativity.” With the Pacific Ocean as its backdrop, the Symphony at Salk raises funds to support the Institute’s scientific research and educational outreach programs. u

Permit review group asks George’s at the Cove to screen roof equipment during patio expansion La Jolla

Development Permit Review Committee n Romney home rebuild, other coastal construction progressing on Dunemere By Pat Sherman During the Aug. 12 and 19 meetings of the Development Permit Review committee (DPR) — which analyses all discretionary permits in La Jolla outside La Jolla Shores for conformance to the La Jolla Community Plan — DPR members considered the proposed, rooftop expansion of George’s at the Cove restaurant on Prospect Street. The DPR submits its recommendations to the La Jolla Community Planning Association to be ratified/approved and submitted to the city’s Development Services Department. Restaurateur George Hauer is seeking a coastal development permit to convert an unused roof area atop the building he leases at 1250 Prospect St. to accommodate a 550square-foot bar and reception area that would complement his existing dining terrace. Although DPR members were satisfied that the project meets existing height and parking requirements, they asked that rooftop ventilation and air conditioning equipment visible from Prospect Street be screened from public view during the process, as proposed by La Jollan Gail Forbes during the Aug. 12 meeting (Forbes first made the request during the July meeting of the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance committee, which recommended approval of Hauer’s plans). Hauer said he e-mailed Forbes telling her to “hold my feet to the fire.” “That’s why I’m here,” Forbes said Aug. 12, adding that the new waiting area and larger

Restaurateur George Hauer said nobody complained about rooftop mechanical equipment related to his restaurant that has been there for decades, until he decided to expand his business. Pat Sherman bar space would increase safety by preventing congestion in the existing bar and on stairs up to the restaurant patio. To relocate the existing bar, additional equipment will need to be moved further toward the roof’s edge along Prospect Street. Architect Mark Steele, who is designing the addition, said he and Hauer hope to begin construction by December or January to avoid having to request a waiver for the city’s moratorium on summer construction in the coastal zone. Steele initially asked if DPR members would approve the project to keep it on schedule if they promised to add the metal screening, for which he displayed rough photo simulations. “We don’t know (what the screening will look like); the owner of the building doesn’t know — and it’s actually not part of George’s project,” Steele

said. “He’s merely a tenant, but the owner is refurbishing the building and has agreed to this and is working with us.” Hauer said the building owner was planning a “fairly large facelift, so it stands to reason that they’re going to want to do that. … It’s just saying that George will guarantee it happening, I can’t, because it’s not my building.” George’s at the Cove has been in operation for 30 years, and the rooftop patio open since 1991. “This is the first time anybody has ever mentioned the equipment to me, ever,” Hauer said. “Had this been an issue … had we known that anybody cared about it, we certainly would have mitigated it in the past.” DPR chair Paul Benton said his committee has seen both residential and commercial project applicants eschew such aesthetic

aspects of a project, only to have to deal with them later. “I think intensification of the roof is enough justification to say that we really have to have this (screening) as part of the permit,” he said. DPR member Robert Mapes concurred that Hauer has “a chance to change that eyesore.” “I agree,” added DPR member Mike Costello. “It’s just inconsistent with the really first-class views from the structure to have this visible on the roof. It shouldn’t cost that much. For Mr. Steele, it’s just child’s play. He just needs permission.” Steele said delaying the project with a permit amendment could permanently derail it. “If we keep putting it off there won’t be a project,” he said. “It’s got to hit some deadlines. We’re happy to work with you, but we’d also like you to work with us.” Hauer said he appreciated DPR members dedicating time and effort toward improving the community. “You’re bringing up legitimate questions,” he said. “We’ll get your screening done … (but) to stop an $800,000 project with the commensurate revenue to the city — and with the construction jobs — on the basis of a condition that has existed for 23 years, to me is not rational. … Don’t worry. I’m not some person who just dropped into La Jolla. I’ve lived here for 50 years. I’m not going to do anything to ruin my reputation.” In the end, Steele and Hauer signed and dated renderings of the proposed screening, indicating that its installation was an official aspect of the job. A motion that findings could be made to approve the project was made by DPR member Jim Ragsdale and seconded by Mapes. It passed 5-0-1, with opposition by Matthew Welsh, who asked if there would be food service in the new area. Hauer said cocktail tables would hold no more than one plate, and that his kitchen is near capacity. “If all those people came to eat, we would probably not do a good job serving them, so food will be available (in the new area), but we’re not going to be encouraging it,” he said.

Beyond Dentistry

La Jolla Oral and Facial Surgery offers wide scope of expertise, services By Marti Gacioch For oral/facial surgeons Dr. Albert Lin and Dr. Robert Gramins, any day can require their full spectrum of specialty skills. The partners and owners of La Jolla Oral and Facial Surgery must handle everything from extracting wisdom teeth to dental implant placements to performing cosmetic facial surgery and treating full facial injuries from traumatic accidents. Both doctors say that for more than four years, they’ve been the only board certified oral and facial surgeons practicing in the Village of La Jolla. “We cover everything from the collarbone up to the top of the skull,” Gramins said. “This includes elective cosmetic surgery — including brows, eyelids, face and neck lifts — to facial rejuvenation with laser skin resurfacing and cosmetic fillers. We also treat broken jaws and noses, and more.” Recently, their extensive training was called upon for a young man in his 20s, who sustained severe facial trauma in a motorcycle accident. “He hit something in the road and was thrown, going full face into a boulder on the roadside,” Gramins said. “Despite his helmet, he sustained pan-

Implants used to take 6-9 months. Now they take 1-2 months.” — Reach Drs. Robert Gramins and Albert Lin at La Jolla Oral and Facial Surgery, 7855 Fay Ave., Suite 240, La Jolla.

on a daily basis, they treat facial lacerations, torn lips and ears, and dog bites.

Lightner Press Conference:

Petition will NOT support minimum wage increase By Ashley Mackin City Council District 1 Councilmember Sherri Lightner held a press conference Aug. 22 outside La Jolla Village Square to affirm her support for the minimum wage increase and earned sick leave ordinance. The ordinance, which the city council approved by a 6-3 vote, was vetoed by San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. The council voted to override the mayor’s veto, 6-2, on Aug. 18. The ordinance calls for gradual increases to minimum wage that go into effect Jan. 1 of the next three years. On Jan. 1, 2015, the minimum wage will increase to $9.75; to $10.50 on Jan. 1, 2016; and to $11.50 on Jan. 1, 2017. It also allows those making minimum wage to earn five sick days per year. “(This ordinance) will boost the minimum wage for 172,000 of our neighbors and allow more than a quarter of a million workers to earn sick leave,” Lightner said. “It means workers can take care of their health needs, their sick children or parents, by using the days that they have earned by working.” Lightner also explained there are petitions circulating against the ordinance, and she accused signature-gatherers of providing false information and suggesting the petition is to support the minimum wage increase to garner signatures. “If they tell you the public must weigh in

via a petition — don’t sign it. Signing any petition in the next month about minimum wage or earned sick leave will take away the minimum wage increases that are coming on January 1 of the next three years,” she said. “Polls show 63 percent of San Diegans support the council’s actions. That means they will need to lie to you to get your signature.” Asked why the measure was not put to a vote, Lightner said, “This is an ordinance adopted by the San Diego City Council and is the result of multiple hearings held by the

The owner of this corner home at 335 Dunemere Drive (left) is seeking to add a secondstory addition. A flurry of construction is ongoing on the Barber Tract street.

neighborhood with gabled roofs. “Dunemere Drive is under construction/ destruction,” Duddy said. “In the 20 years I’ve lived here, I have never seen almost every house on the block being destroyed or let go. … The Barber Tract was the first developed neighborhood in La Jolla. We’ve essentially lost Cliff Robertson’s home to a minor remodel and I’m afraid to see a small, beautiful cottage that the neighborhood is known for disrupted. I just hope it’s done in a way that is sensitive to the history of neighborhood. I’m seeing it just slowly erode away.” John Mallory, of 369 Dunemere, agreed that neighborhood character should be preserved. “Everyone should be able to bring in their uniqueness and design things that they like … but we want to keep some of these new remodels with second stories as inconspicuous as possible,” he said. Benton suggested Despojado return to his client and work on softening the project’s visual impact, rather than having DPR members take a final vote and potentially recommend denial of the permit. Despojado said he would discuss the issue with the homeowner and return to DPR at a later date.

In other DPR news n Dunemere (over)Drive: A flurry of construction is ongoing near the coast on Dunemere Drive, including Mitt and Ann Romney’s Barber Tract home rebuild at 311 Dunemere. The home he visited during his 2012 presidential bid is now completely demolished and construction of the Island Architects-designed replacement home is underway. Directly south, a two-story wood frame at 323 Dunemere has popped up, and at 325 Dunemere renovation of the former estate of late La Jolla actor Cliff Robertson (also designed by Island Architects) is ongoing. Architect Tony Crisafi said that significant restoration of the home’s historic site and structure is near completion and soon to follow, crews will finish construction on the main house. Meanwhile, during its Aug. 12 meeting DPR members reviewed plans for a proposed two-story addition to a potentially historic, single-story home at 335 Dunemere Drive (Serros Residence). The applicant is seeking a coastal development permit to add 79 square feet to the first floor and 647 square feet to the second story, including two exterior decks totalling 100 square feet (on a 4,152-squarefoot lot). During a July 15 DPR courtesy review of the project, neighbors expressed

concerns that street views might be blocked, though DPR member Mike Costello noted that Dunemere is neither a protected view corridor or scenic overlook per the La Jolla Community Plan. “There’s not a view corridor to protect, so (the issue) is whether to be nice to neighbors or not,” Costello said. Project architect Ron Despojado said the homeowner is working with a historical consultant, adding that existing wood shake roofing would be replaced with textured asphalt shingles that meet current fire code standards. Asked about the DPR’s earlier request to reduce visual impacts by pulling the second story back from Dunemere slightly, Despojado said he was “still massaging the design.” “I spoke to the owner recently and we made that suggestion. … His concern was that we’d lose some square footage,” he said. Mike Duddy, who purchased his home at 360 Dunemere in 1993, said a proposed balcony that sticks out over the garage is intrusive. (Despojado countered that the balcony would abut the property line, not protrude over the street.) “I know you can’t protect personal views, but as you make that corner at Dunemere Drive there’s quite a beautiful ocean view that I think will be obstructed by that,” Duddy said, adding he believes the project’s boxy, four-gabled roof design is also obtrusive and unlike other homes in the

Other DPR reviews n Zavaro Residence: On Aug. 12 DPR unanimously approved Golba Architecture’s plans to construct a new, 4,843-square-foot,

two-story home above a basement on a steep hillside at 1994 Via Casa Alta (with 2,491 square feet of exterior deck areas, including a pool and spa). It was first reviewed July 15. Read more at bit.ly/DPRJuly n Buckingham Residence: DPR members also recommended approval of a coastal development permit to demolish an existing single-family residence at 1545 Buckingham Drive and build a fivebedroom, 8,499-square-foot home, with a 984-square-foot pool cabana and two garages (under the city’s Sustainable Building Expedite Program). n Anzar Residence: DPR members were so impressed with the thoroughness of a home rebuild presentation for 1253 Muirlands Vista Way that they nearly approved the plans during a preliminary review (which the committee may do per a unanimous vote), though DPR member Matthew Welsh opted to conduct a site visit first. The applicant is seeking coastal and site development permits to demolish an existing single-story home and build a 8,636-square-fooot, two-story residence in its place. u — DPR meetings are open to the public and held 4 p.m. the second and third Tuesday of the month at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St., Room 1.

Frontline Cancer SCOTT M. LIPPMAN, M.D.

Exercise, exercise, exercise

egular exercise improves health in ways most of us already know. It helps control weight, maintain strong bones, muscles and joints, reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and premature death. Exercise quite literally makes us feel better, physically and mentally. There is strong evidence that physical activity is associated with reduced risk of some cancers, such as colon and breast. Studies have also linked regular exercise to reduced risk of uterine, lung and prostate cancers. But having cancer doesn’t change the equation. Indeed, for patients diagnosed with and treated for cancer, a life of regular physical activity can become even more critical to having a life with quality. Physical activity is a critical component of energy balance, a term researchers use to describe how weight, diet and physical activity influence health. Indeed, researchers at Moores Cancer Center are currently conducting a pair of studies to assess the effects of healthy diets and exercise programs on women at risk of breast cancer and breast cancer survivors. You can find more information at cancer.ucsd.edu/care-centers/

breast/Pages/breast-cancer-study.aspx In a seminal series of papers published in 2012 in the journal Lancet, scientists from multiple institutions, including the UC San Diego, concluded that physical inactivity could explain more than 5 million deaths worldwide each year — a number comparable to mortality figures associated with smoking. “A surprising finding was that inactivity explains 10 percent of deaths from both breast cancer and prostate cancer,” said Jim Sallis, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Family and Preventive Medicine and director of the Active Living Research program at UC San Diego. “Thus physical inactivity is a major contributor to common cancers of men and women.” Regular exercise prevents obesity, which increases a person’s risk of a host of different cancers. It helps reduce inflammation, also linked to cancer, while boosting the body’s immune system function, which helps prevent cancer. How much exercise do you need? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention broadly recommends adults engage in

“moderate-intensity physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week” (about 30 minutes per day) or “vigorous-intensity” exercise for at least 75 minutes per week. The former is defined as activities like walking briskly, dancing or riding a bike on flat terrain. The latter refers to stuff like race-walking, high-impact aerobics, robustly climbing stairs or participating in fast-moving sports like basketball or soccer. The best time to begin a lifelong anticancer exercise program is today, right now. Once you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, the best time is still today, right now. Often, patients become sedentary after a cancer diagnosis and treatment. They’re going through or have been through a lot. It might seem too much to launch into an exercise regimen. People tend to slow down. Don’t. As contrary as it may seem, physical activity is the most effective long-term solution to fatigue, a common characteristic of cancer and its treatment. How and how much you exercise while undergoing cancer treatment depends upon you, your condition, treatment protocols and your doctor. You may need to take special care to monitor issues like blood counts, hydration or new or unexplained symptoms. Exercise for some cancer patients can carry a slightly higher risk for heart problems. You’ll likely need to adjust your intensity — at least at first. You’ll have to adapt. For example, older cancer patients with impacted bones or problems like

arthritis or peripheral neuropathy (numbness in hands or feet) should only do exercises with minimal risk of falling or injury. Patients undergoing radiation should not expose treated skin to excessive sunlight or chlorine in swimming pools. Regular exercise boosts cancer survivorship. One study, for example, found that women diagnosed with breast cancer who exercised moderately (the equivalent of walking three to five hours per week at an average pace) had better survival rates than comparable sedentary patients. Physical activity has also been shown to help patients cope psychologically with the rigors of their disease and treatment. On a more personal note, I see these benefits of exercise at the annual Pedal The Cause (sandiego.pedalthecause.org) bicycling fundraiser in San Diego. Many participants are cancer survivors or current patients. They ride for their health and because Pedal The Cause net proceeds are devoted entirely to local cancer research. This year’s event is Sept. 20-21. I will be there, riding alongside them. It’s good exercise. It’s a good way to help prevent cancer. I hope to see you there. u — Scott M.

SAND SCULPTING CHALLENGE & 3D ART EXPOSITION Friday, Aug. 29th - Monday, Sep. 1st, 9am-7pm*

Twelve box culverts will be installed under Avenida De La Playa between Calle Del Sol and Calle De La Plata.

What’s next for La Jolla Shores and Avenida De La Playa ■ Avenida De La Playa Infrastructure Replacement project (pertaining only to Avenida De La Playa): Avenida De La Playa between Camino Del Sol and Calle De La Plata will be fenced off so a sewer main, water main and 12 storm drain box culverts can be installed, starting Sept. 2 until approximately Feb. 9, 2015. ■ Group Job 809 (for Avenida De La Playa and the streets that feed into it): Calle De La Plata between Avenida De La Playa and Paseo Dorado will have sewer and water lines replaced, starting Sept. 9. From Shores Merchants, A1 “Some merchants are wondering if they are going to have to lay off people … we are left wondering if these businesses will survive,” Tihanyi said. Tim Lucas, chair of the La Jolla Shores Association said, “The city missed a huge opportunity to be forthright with the community about what was going to happen. Communication has not been great here. The last construction update was July 31, and it did not mention what was coming up. “The website (established to provide updates) still says construction will be done by January. There were a lot of opportunities where the businesses could have been involved.” Steve Lindsay, Senior Construction Engineer for the City of San Diego, reminded those in attendance it was disclosed that work would start after the summer moratorium. “I’m not sure you didn’t know the work was coming. Now that it’s here, it’s kind of scary for you.” Arguing it was not a matter of fear, but of awareness, Lucas countered, “This has to go both ways here; you’re telling us we should have known construction was starting after Labor Day, but in the same breath, you

should have known construction was going to start after Labor Day and produced a tentative schedule months in advance.” Had the city provided a schedule, residents and business owners would have had the opportunity to offer ideas for speeding construction and helping each other. At the meeting, suggestions such as doubling up on the amount of construction workers, and working at night were introduced. Shores resident Mary Coakley-Munk told city and construction team representatives, “the businesses here are the lifeblood of this community, but I’m not going to eat at local restaurants if there’s going to be jackhammering, so please take their concerns and ideas into consideration.” Lindsay said the team would look into a permit to work at night. However, any building within 500 feet of the work zone on Avenida De La Playa (including private residences) would have to be considered. In an effort to improve communication, a meeting was set for 9 a.m. Friday Aug. 29 at Barbarella restaurant, 2171 Avenida De La Playa, where the result of the night-work permit application will be discussed, along with any other details leading up to the Sept. 2 work start date. u

Planners debate requiring more than one trustee to pull items from agenda La Jolla Community Planning Association n Some say ‘further review’ actions increase project costs By Pat Sherman During the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s (LJCPA) August meeting, a heated discussion ensued about the process of pulling items from its monthly consent agenda. At meetings, LJCPA trustees ratify decisions on development projects previously approved or rejected by its subcommittees, such as Traffic and Transportation (T&T), Planned District Ordinance (PDO) or Development Permit Review (DPR). Once ratified by trustees, the LJCPA sends subcommittee decisions to the city as the official recommendation. However, an item may be pulled by just one trustee or meeting attendee, requiring the applicant to return at a later LJCPA meeting and present their project again or answer more questions — often delaying construction start dates and increasing applicant costs. During the Aug. 7 meeting, some audience members and trustees suggested that more than one person should agree to pull an item for further review. The debate ensued after four items were pulled from LJCPA’s August consent agenda that its subcommittees had already approved unanimously, including: conversion of the former Jonathan’s Market space on Fay Avenue to a luxury cinema (approved by PDO); rebuilding a single dwelling unit at

604 Gravilla Place (approved by DPR); and street closures for the La Jolla Christmas Parade and extended weekend valet parking hours for Eddie V’s (both approved by T&T). A representative for the Boffo Cinemas project on Fay noted that the project meets the city’s parking requirement and has already been approved for a process 1 (ministerial) building permit. The cinema developers were only presenting the project at PDO as a courtesy to the community; it was not required by the city, noted project spokesperson Janay Kruger. PDO committee chair Jim Fitzgerald concurred that project plans “totally complied” with La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance, or blueprint for development. “We’re in there removing asbestos from the building,” Kruger said. “We can go to the PDO committee and say, ‘We don’t need this. We’ve got our building permit, we’re moving forward,’ and then we don’t have to come back, right?” LJCPA board president Joe LaCava conceded, “No, you don’t have to come

back. … There’s nothing we can do to stop you,” noting that, in the future, process 1 project applicants might decline to offer a courtesy presentation to subcommittees if they know they risk significant delays and added expenses. The LJCPA is trying to assure all projects are vetted by subcommittees for conformance to established community standards. Katherine Kennedy, who owns the home at 604 Gravilla Place, noted that each neighbor on her block expressed written support for her project to the DPR. “How can you call yourself a community group when you reverse the (subcommittee) vote and it costs the homeowner and the residents thousands of dollars for every month of delay?,” Kennedy questioned. LaCava agreed that the LJCPA should be conveying more confidence in its subcommittees’ deliberative processes. “That’s the best place for projects to be reviewed in a more intimate setting between the committee members, the applicant and any neighbors,” he said. “I have to admit,

even though anybody has a right to pull items — either trustees or members of the public — (pulling items indiscriminately) is disconcerting and it has shaken the confidence of people about what individual subcommittees are doing.” LJCPA trustee Ray Weiss said he also feels the current process is problematic. “I understand the importance of protecting community members’ opportunity to object, particularly in some cases where the issues are extremely contentious, but we have to have a better way of doing this,” he said. “It’s an example of the road to hell being paved with good intentions.” Although it is not required that a person state the reason he or she is pulling an item from the agenda, LaCava suggested those pulling items e-mail him an explanation to be forwarded to the applicant. Trustee Dan Courtney suggested LJCPA bylaws be changed to make it mandatory for a person to state publically why the item is being pulled. LaCava, who chairs the San Diego Community Planners Committee (an umbrella organization to the LJCPA and the city’s other 40 community planning groups), said almost all other city planning groups discuss pulled items at the same meeting. “I think long ago it was decided that in La Jolla we didn’t want to have meetings that ran till 11 o’clock or 12 o’clock at night,” LaCava said of scheduling them for a future meeting. Architect and LJCPA member-at-large Michael Morton (himself a former LJCPA trustee) noted that the association’s bylaws once required that at least two trustees agree with any reason for an item being pulled. “That served the LJCPA well for many, many years and I would recommend this body review that (policy),” Morton said. “That does give credence to the subcommittees … (and demonstrates) that there is something of a major, substantive value to have that item pulled.”

Member Don Schmidt agreed. “I like public participation, but I am sympathetic to the applicants,” he said. “When you pull something it has to be something very serious — (because) it is very serious to the applicants.” Trustee Rob Whittemore noted that former city attorney Michael Aguirre loosened the LJCPA consent agenda policy while the group was revising its bylaws to comply with the Brown Act, the state’s open meeting law. “Aguirre said the LJCPA had to open up the process and let any member of the public pull an item for further discussion,” Whittemore said. “I don’t agree with that. I think it might be possible to get a second opinion from the (current) city attorney.”

n LJCPA trustees also entertained whether revisions are needed to the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance (LJSPDO), and what that might entail. “As I understand from the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC), the question was not, ‘Should we change it?’ or ‘What should we change it to?’ but was the appetite there to put in the work … (and seek) the extensive civic engagement that might be necessary?” LaCava said. Bob Whitney, whose proposed mixed-use project in the La Jolla Shores has for years been held up by the discretionary review process and a difference of opinion about its bulk, scale and compatibility, said the proposed “mini-update” to the LJSPDO

Tim Lucas, chair of the La Jolla Shores Association, said there are many aspects of the LJSPDO besides FARs that are subjective and warrant clarifying, such as the lack of established minimums for property line setbacks. “I think it would be very useful if someone could go down and speak with our city council person,” Lucas said. “How much money is (an update) going to take?

In the end, LJCPA trustee Janie Emerson, who sits on the PRC, made a motion to have her group further clarify its plans to revise the LJSPDO and bring them back to the LJCPA for consideration. The motion was seconded by LJCPA vice-president Bob Steck and approved unanimously. u — The La Jolla Community Planning Association next meets 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 4 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

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.

Our READERS WRITE

Why does merchants association need a big operating budget? La Jolla Village Merchants Association needs to “increase revenue for its group and its objectives.” Why does the group itself need money? Junkets? Dinners? Its mysterious objectives need that much money? What objectives? If they need that much money, perhaps they shouldn’t be objectives. Electric vehicle charging station? People who frequent La Jolla are either local or tourists from afar, neither of which need charging stations. Why does La Jolla need to keep up with anyone? By-the-way, I notice the “Children’s Pool” is now slowly being referred to as “Casa Beach.” Pretty soon there will be no more “Children’s Pool.” Ever notice in the U-T weather section that the La Jolla Children’s Pool is reported year-long as “Polluted waters to avoid”? That’s quite a distinction! Way to go you tree huggers — if you want and like it so much, why don’t you take a little dip there once and awhile? Show us how it’s done, and that it is OK. Show us that this is the right thing to do for our children and tourists. Keeping the environment clean is a good idea, except when you myopic tree-huggers think it’s not. Pete Ward La Jolla

Parking meters would kill shopping in Village Silly me, I thought a merchants association was supposed to encourage shoppers, but evidently with the La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s proposal to explore parking meters for the Village, ours is interested in creating more empty storefronts. The UTC Westfield mall has acres of free parking so you can leisurely shop without

Seals at Children’s Pool was never the plan

Coastal Commission voted to close Children’s Pool beach (aka Casa Beach) during the seals’ pupping season, Dec. 15-May 15. Pat Sherman worrying about going back to feed the meters before the meter maids make an appearance. UTC has hundreds of stores, while Village choices seem to shrink. Our Village streets are dirty. I walk in the Village most mornings and have for almost 20 years, and I can count on the fingers of one hand the businesses that hose off their sidewalks or steam clean them. Overflowing trash cans and litter complete this lovely picture. UTC is kept clean and litter free, and since the renovation, it provides lovely canopied sitting areas complete with rugs and comfortable chairs. At night a fire pit adds an attractive glow. Of course, UTC doesn’t have oceanview restaurants as we do, but since they don’t have the stench either, I would guess maybe that is a win for them. I have encountered two people in the past couple of weeks holding pieces of clothing against their nose and mouth because of the smell at Scripps Park. It is incredible to me that the LJVMA could even consider such a proposal when just a few years ago hundreds of La Jollans rose up in protest against parking meters. The protest revealed some interesting facts about the proposal, such as the self-interests of the committee members and the unethical actions taken to stifle dissent. Nancy Shields La Jolla

Shame on the Coastal Commission. After more than 20 years of debate, they have finally caved into the seal huggers! My wife and I were both born in La Jolla almost 90 years ago and were delivered by old Dr. Gillespie, a medical icon of the era. It was at Scripps Hospital when it was located on Prospect, just a driver and an iron from the Pacific. We recently returned to spend our final years in my old family home, built by my grandfather in the 1920s. My wife and I lived in the Village when we were children and used to swim in the Children’s Pool. The other beaches, except for the Shores, were not as safe for youngsters and it was an easy walk. I believe Ellen B. Scripps would spin in her grave if she could see what has happened in the pool she donated to build as a safe place for the children of La Jolla. Excuse me, but the last thing La Jolla needs is another tourist attraction. Fred. R. Livingstone La Jolla

Children’s Pool languishes in sad state of decline CHILDREN LOSE. That doesn’t sound so good when read next to your headline on the front page of the Aug. 21 issue, SEALS WIN, does it? Sadly, both seals and children win a fecalfilled toilet of a beach at the Children’s Pool, covered with dead kelp now that it is supposedly illegal to remove because the birds need its content of fleas, flies and insects. As the California Coastal Commission mandates, we should demand the City of San Diego clean the sand, water and polluted air at our formerly gorgeous coastline. Sue Bridge La Jolla

OPINION

Paid parking will harm Village Living here for 35 years, I know La Jolla residents and merchants overwhelmingly oppose charging a fee (tax) for public street parking. La Jolla is a place where wealth sits easily with beach and university culture, where joy comes

from interests well beyond getting and spending money. Proposals to allocate the limited public streets to only those willing and able to pay the high price of paid parking would irreparably harm La Jolla’s urban culture, which welcomes a rich mix of surfers, students, scholars, sightseers, and stodgy old-timers. Six years ago this matter was litigated

LA JOLLA LIGHT - august 28, 2014 - Page A27

in an all out battle resulting in a massive defeat for those few who want to serve special interests by charging to park on public streets. Bringing this back now is an irresponsible waste of time. I call upon the leaders of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association to act responsibly by removing paid parking from their agenda. u John A. Berol, La Jolla

OBITUARIES

Jeannette L. Hutchinson 1922 – 2014

Jeannette Hutchinson, 91, passed away on August 7, 2014. She has reunited with her beloved husband, Edward, who predeceased her in 2004; as well as her sister, Betty, and mother, Blenda. Those who had the joy of knowing her and what a kind, caring person she was were fortunate. “There are no strangers to me, only friends I haven’t met yet,” sums up her approach to life. Whether she was taking Swedish Classes, visiting Europe with Eddie, or just being a true friend to all who knew her, she always had a smile. Jeannette was a fond friend of the Riford/La Jolla Library and the San Diego Humane Society, and loved her life in La Jolla. She and Eddie were two of the original renters in the Villa La Jolla complex they lived in, as well as original buyers when the units were sold as condo units. “Jeannie” could frequently be found scouring the beaches of La Jolla looking for shells and other treasures. She can now search the beaches of eternity for the treasures of heaven and a life well lived. And remember, if one day you find yourself near the seashore and an unexpected spray from a crashing wave should touch you, maybe it’s just Jeannette saying, “hello old friend!!” She is survived by her nephews, Robert (Joanne) Dienhart of Clarksville, TN, Gary (Darlene) Dienhart of Rockford, IL, Gregory (Kathy) Dienhart of Hinckley, IL, and Edward (Cecelia) Dienhart of Oswego, IL.

In accordance with Jeannette’s wishes, a private family burial was held with interment at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, where she rejoined her beloved husband, Edward.

Mary Ann Northcraft Shelton 1924 – 2014

Long active in La Jolla’s tennis and social circles, the doubles team of Mary Ann Shelton and John Shelton won dozens of national senior mixed-doubles tennis championships throughout their 35 years together. They played their last competitive senior doubles match in 2003. A career physical therapist and life-long tennis enthusiast, Mrs. Shelton died August 2, 2014, in La Jolla at the age of 90. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Hermosa Beach, California, Mrs. Shelton, then known as Mary Ann Morgenstern (“Morgie”), competed at the top levels of regional, national and international tennis events, going headto-head with the likes of Gertrude “Gussy” Moran, Louise Brough and later, the legendary Maureen Connolly. After graduating from

UCLA in 1941, Mrs. Shelton became a member of the U.S. Federation Cup team that competed in prestigious events around the world. Mrs. Shelton had two sons, Philip and Carl, and a daughter, Rosemary, from her first marriage, which lasted 22 years, to the late Dr. Richard D. Northcraft, a professor of biology at Amherst College and California Western University (now Point Loma Nazarene University). In 1972, Mrs. Shelton married the late Dr. John S. Shelton, an accomplished geologist, aerial photographer, and college professor. Dr. Shelton died in 2008 at age 94. In the early 1970s, Mrs. Shelton served as president of the San Diego Tennis Patrons and was an avid fan of the San Diego Friars pro tennis team. Along with her love of playing and watching tennis, Mrs. Shelton was a devoted fan of the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers. After raising her family in Point Loma, Mrs. Shelton resided in La Jolla. She spent her final years at Chateau La Jolla Inn. She is survived by sons, Philip of Washington State and Carl of La Jolla; daughter, Rosemary of Berkeley; granddaughter, Eleyce of Capetown, South Africa; and grandson, Augustus of Washington State.

Murle Rack 1918 – 2014

Murle Ranney Rack, wife, mother of four and retired teacher and musician, passed away in La Jolla,

CA, surrounded by loving family on August 16, 2014, at the age of 96. Murle was born in Dodge, North Dakota, on February 26, 1918. She was the first of four daughters born to Cecil and Ruth Ranney. A graduate of Minot Teachers College, she had a fulfilling career as an English, math and band teacher. Music was always a big part of Murle’s life from a very young age when she played piano for a local radio station and dance studio. She later founded a 32-member Drum and Bugle Corp in her parent’s basement in Minot that won awards and toured the Midwest and Canada raising money for Girl Scouts. She also earned the coveted “Golden Eaglet” award in Girl Scouts. Murle always said that music took her to places she never would have seen and was able to go to summer camps in such exotic locations as Wisconsin because of her bugle-playing ability. She taught band and could play every band instrument. During WWll she had a job with the Red Cross scheduling big name swing bands for American Red Cross and Army hospitals. In 1945 Murle married the love of her life, Frank Rack from Cincinnati, Ohio, and they had four children. After the war they settled in San Francisco and then Palo Alto where Murle was active in various civic activities such as Girl Scouts, Stanford International Center, and with her husband, Frank, was an original founder of what is now Abilities United. Murle was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Frank; two of her daughters, Lynn Rack Franz and Betty Jane Rack; and her sister, Katheryn Stenehjem. She is survived by two sisters, Elizabeth Littig and Mary Johnson of Arizona; daughter, Maureen Rack Lochtefeld of La Jolla; son, Thomas Rack of Alameda; as well as nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Murle was known for her quick laughter, warm hugs, love of family and friends, and her wonderful

piano playing at family gatherings. She was warmly loved and will be greatly missed. A funeral mass followed by a celebration of Murle’s Life will be held on August 29, 2014, at 1:30 pm at Mary, Star of the Sea Church, 7669 Girard Ave., La Jolla, California.

Charles O. Peinado 1934 – 2014

Chuck Peinado, of La Jolla, died early Sunday morning, August 17, 2014, after a three month illness. No one can tell Chuck’s story better than he, so the following is an excerpt from the speech he gave at his 80th birthday party on January 3, 2014: “I’m 80, can you believe it? Sometimes I feel like it, like when I’m sick, most of the time I don’t. I have had a great life, many happy times and a few disappointments. I was second born into a wonderful family. My parents were finding their way into the new world of El Paso, TX, from Mexico. My five brothers and I grew up playing football and baseball in a sandlot across the street. We all went to El Paso High School where I played football for the Tigers. My parents were very supportive. I got a tuition scholarship to Johns Hopkins University and they paid room and board. I was elected Chairman of the Honor Commission, which was an honor. During my graduation ceremony, they announced that I had graduated with

honors. My dad was so excited that he put his cigarette out on his new Stetson hat. I held a teaching assistantship at Caltech. After graduating, I took a job with Atomics International. I left and joined General Atomics when I heard that Atomics International was moving into military programs. During that time, my wife and I had two sons, Chuck and Rene. I was at General Atomics for 25 years and retired as Operations Manager of their Nuclear Program. Afterward, I met the love of my life and partner, JoAnne, in 1984. She brought with her a beautiful young daughter, Barbara. Our family is a great comfort to me. I went back to work as a Project Manager and Contract Officer Representative for the Department of Energy/ National Nuclear Security Administration. I received an Honor Award from the Secretary of the DOE for my work in removing and securing nuclear material in Kazakhstan. JoAnne and I have had a wonderful life together. We traveled a lot and had many experiences, some disappointments, but many great times. We love to do many of the same things together. We have learned to Live Well, Laugh Often and Love Much.” Chuck is survived by his loving wife, JoAnne; sons, Charles Jr. (Nancy) and their children, Alex and Samantha, and Rene (Amy) and their children, Marco, Odessa and Beto; daughter, Barbara (Ken) and their children, Zachary and Ryan; and four brothers, Arnold, Robert, Raul and George. He is predeceased by brother, Arthur. The family is planning a private memorial service. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ lajollalight.

Our READERS WRITE CONTINUED FROM A26

A vote for time zones when dogs can run free I wish to write in support of the proposal to have areas of WindanSea or Marine Beach designated an off-leash beach for dog owners to walk and play with their dogs during limited hours, the proposal suggested before 9 a.m. and after 8 p.m. There are many responsible dog owners who would like to see this happen. The proposal has been sent to District 1 Councilmember Sherri Lightner and our hope is that she will help this proposal going forward. Mary Pat DesRoches La Jolla

Off-leash dogs can connect neighbors There has recently been a lot of discussion about the proposal of a limited time period in a limited area for dogs to be off-leash. My wife and I live in the WindanSea area and visit the beach frequently. We are in support of the limited time in a limited area dog off-leash zone. We think this will add to the great sense of community we have in La Jolla. If the limited hours are in the morning

this will promote resident attendance and not visitors. Whenever residents of La Jolla with similar interests get together it is great for the entire community. It promotes a sense of pride and a commitment to respect each other, the beaches, our city. Buck and Brittany Wright La Jolla

Dog droppings, not leashes are the problem I have long thought that leash laws are unnecessarily discriminatory against dog owners and their dogs. As the laws exist today, there are very few venues where a dog owner can allow their dog to play off-leash. I know of three dog beaches, but that is not enough to serve all of San Diego County. More are needed to serve the 40 percent of all households that own a dog. The “dog parks” I’ve seen are small, dirty and not satisfactory for most dogs to truly express their birthright, which is to run fast and freely. In almost every area of San Diego County where a dog could recreate off-leash, safely and with consideration for others, it is illegal to do so, and the fines are punitively high. This is true of every park and natural area regardless of the hour of day or remoteness of location.

The greatest complaint seems to be dog poop left unattended. This is an annoyance to all, including dog owners. It is a problem that began when early humans first domesticated wolves and has been with us ever since. Clearly, leash laws do nothing to eliminate this problem. If fines must be imposed let them be for the infraction of failure to clean up after your pet and not for a well behaved off-leash dog. No one would oppose that. I encourage all dog owners to lend support by contacting Nancy Linck through e-mail: nlinck@rothwellfigg.com Fred Steiniger La Jolla

The ‘myth’ stops here about beach drowning In the June issue of La Jolla Light, there was an letter by Dr. David Valentine in which he rightfully calls the story of a 1940 drowning on our beach a “myth.” A myth is a story without proof and very often about some subject that adds enchantment and charm to an area. The above mentioned “myth” does the very opposite! This fable states that a child caught his swimsuit on a scupper in a sluice at the sea wall. (A scupper is a metal bar that guides water through a drain. A sluice is a vent designed to drain water through a wall.)

In 1940, there were no scuppers and no sluices. The sea wall sluices were long since cemented shut as a result of a well-recorded drowning in about 1931. Two children were washed through the vents by a powerful backwash. Following that, the vents were cemented shut. Records indicate the closure was to only be temporary. Irving Gill, foremeost architect of the time, no doubt studied wave action of our beach and knew quite well of the shifting of the sand south in the winter and north again in the summer. Vents in the wall were designed to keep sand from piling up and filling the pool. That is just what has happened. However, let’s go back to the 1940 myth. In that year, there were no sluices in the sea wall, no scuppers, and no 1940 drowning. End of myth. u Patricia Weber La Jolla resident since 1953

LA JOLLA LIGHT - august 28, 2014 - Page A29

Free heart screenings for teens Sept. 28 in La Jolla By Ashley Mackin In collaboration with The Bishop’s School, free heart screenings will be offered for area youth (ages 12-19) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28 at La Jolla High School, 750 Nautilus St. The screening is non-invasive and will look for anomalies in heart rhythm. Although rare, anomalies can contribute to the risk of sudden cardiac arrest in teens and screening for them is not part of routine checkups or sports physicals. “The reason we like to focus on teenagers is if this anomaly is going to happen, it likely happens during the teen years,” said Alexa Page, a La Jolla High parent and surgeon. “Adults should not be screened because when you enter adult years, electrocardiograms (EKGs) become part of a routine examination.” EKGs detect irregularities in how the heart beats. Although Page recommends all teens be screened — and noted the event is open to all students, not just those who attend La Jolla High or The Bishop’s School — checking young athletes is of critical importance. Maureen Legg, executive director of the Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation, which provides the screenings, said typical warning signs of heart problems in teen athletes are often hard to spot, if present at all, as they can be miscredited to overexertion or exercise. Common warning signs, Legg explained, include unexplained fainting (which during summer months, many think is caused by the heat), lightheadedness, chest pains,

T E A K

Abnormalities can stem from different conditions and would require different corrective action, which Legg said, “For most kids, is relatively simple and they can go on doing their thing and playing sports.” She added, “At each screening we’ve done, we have found an abnormality the kid did not know about or a risk-factor their parents did not know about. We would hope if they don’t get screened with us, parents get their kids screened somewhere.”

First-hand experience

Juliann Ford, a Bishop’s School parent, had both of her sons checked through the Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation when a screening was conducted at Cathedral Catholic High School. “There was no medical reason to have the screening done — just the knowledge of other teens dying suddenly of cardiac arrest,” she said. “Both my boys are athletes and I felt that I should know if they had any heart abnormality. This was totally a preventative measure for our family.” The results for both her sons showed no abnormalities. “As a parent, I am relieved my sons passed their EKGs, my fear is that one of their friends who is unknowingly at-risk, won’t know to get screened, is afraid to get screened, or is too busy to get screened,” she said. Screenings take less than 30 minutes, though wait times vary. Families can register and download the family history form at EPSaveALife.org u

Volunteers with the Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation offer free, youth heart screenings that include an EKG to identify heart abnormalities, which can put teens at risk for sudden cardiac arrest. Courtesy shortness of breath, unusual heart palpitations and irregular heartbeat. “We live in an uber-competitive society and kids are taught to push through the pain and excel,” Legg said. “They might not realize the chest pain felt when working out is not because they are out of shape but because they have a heart condition.”

To screen a teen

The screening itself is two-fold, with possible follow-up based on the results. The first part is a health and family history, including whether the person has exhibited any warning signs and at what state (resting, walking or exercising). The health history also looks at whether the person consumes

potentially harmful substances such as performance enhancing drugs or supplements, and energy drinks. From there, each student receives an EKG to measure the electrical beat of his or her heart. “If the EKG looks good, they are done,” Page said. The results of the EKGs are mailed home with the family for their records. Participants are asked to bring a selfaddressed stamped envelope. Based on what screeners see in the EKG, about 30 percent of participants also receive an echocardiogram, “which is basically an ultrasound of your heart,” Legg said. If the echocardiogram detects something irregular, screeners suggest follow-up with the family physician.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL

La Jolla High’s synergy leads Joe Palatella to All-CIF honors By Ed Piper ynergy. That’s the word. Joe Palatella and Jack Chapman, hitter-blockers on the La Jolla High boys volleyball team, came together on the court and off, and clicked during the spring season, leading a senior-less Viking varsity squad to the Division I CIF Semifinals after graduating half their starting lineup from the year before. “Jack and I thought to ourselves, this was going to be a very difficult season,” said Palatella, named All-CIF for his hitting exploits. “The team really came together and exceeded my expectations. I’m very proud of that.” Both players were named to the All-Western League First Team. Chapman, who like Palatella has been a three-year starter for Coach Dave Jones since his freshman year with excellent numbers, could easily have been named All-CIF as well. But as Jones explained to the team, there are only so many positions in the allstar selections. Also, “I always tell our guys that an ‘individual award’ is really a reflection upon the entire team,” Jones said. Palatella evidenced the same team-oriented approach his coach promotes in an electronic interview. He gave credit to the team, despite his individual honors. His numbers as a middle hitter-blocker were: 269 kills at a 49.4 percent rate; and 79 blocks, far away the leading total on the Vikings. That’s up

Above: Joe Palatella and Jack Chapman confer between games at the Valhalla Volleyball Tournament April 18. Left: Palatella and Chapman apply the block against Kamehameha, Hawaii, in the Beach City Invitational March 20. Photos by Ed Piper

from his sophomore year statistics the year before: 211 kills, 47.5 percent. But he did have more blocks in 2013, at 106. As a freshman starter in the middle, Palatella had 92 kills at a 42.2 percent rate, with 54 blocks. His hard work has paid off. Palatella was one weapon among the big four La Jolla had at the net this season, including Chapman, Austin Jertberg and

sophomore Jake Northrup. The first three were all juniors. The Vikings, on the season, were 17-15, 7-5 in the Western League. Palatella, who played in the Junior Olympics in Houston, June 27-July 1, said he likes history and science in school and would like to pursue business or engineering in college. Regarding his friendship with Chapman,

he said, “Jack and I have become such great friends and even better teammates with the rest of the team. Team chemistry is hard to come by.” Coach Jones agreed. “Both Joe and Jack really had to step up this season. Without any returning seniors on our team, they each accepted a leadership role and excelled with it,” he said. u

Blues and rock shaped musician Carlos Rodriguez

a Jolla native Carlos Rodriguez, whose band Stone Horse’s album “Grit” is nominated for Best Rock Album at the upcoming San Diego Music Awards, attended Gillespie Cottage, La Jolla Elementary, Muirlands Junior High and La Jolla High schools. His family migrated to Pottery Canyon in the mid 1930s, following his grandfather, master potter Cornelio Rodriguez. “My little sister and I used to hike up and down in the canyon hills when we were young,” he Carlos Rodriguez said. “I got into trouble in my youth, which made the front page of La Jolla Light (Seven boys in trouble), so I decided against a life of crime, opting instead to learn how to play guitar.” Growing up during the Vietnam War-era, he hung out with his cousins listening to British blues/rock and the music of the era. He was influenced by Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Muddy Waters. His mother bought him his first guitar at La Jolla Music. Teacher Robby Lawrence taught him songs by Cream and Jimi Hendrix. He loved King Bisquit blues and Ruby and the Snakes, “my friends and I followed and hung out with these bands.” In the late ’70s, his group “Salty Dogs” played concerts and parties. The band was comprised of sons of prominent local families. The Rolling Stones influenced their music. They started writing originals and received airplay on 101.5 KGB. “Surfing and music always went hand in hand, so I worked in surf retail a good part of my adult life,” he said. “Stone Horse started as a blues outfit. When Danielle Spade joined in 2009, our musical direction changed. Without my sobriety and the support of my friends, our nomination to this year’s San Diego Music Awards would not have been possible.” Stone Horse’s songs have been played on San Diego radio stations such as 91X, Rock 105.3, 102.1 KPRI and 94.9 FM.

La Jolla’s hand-held Mexican meals are sure to satisfy

By Ashley Mackin s there any food better than a burrito? It’s a complete meal — protein, vegetables, fruits and carbohydrates — all wrapped into one delicious hand-held package ... or in some cases ... so doused in sauce and toppings it’s impossible to pick up, but you get the point! It just so happens La Jolla has more than 10 places to get these bundles of joy — plus a few chain restaurants that offer them. La Jolla Light looked at the Village’s selections, including signature burritos, what’s considered crucial to a good burrito, seafood options (we are, after all, in San Diego), and more. Here are some of the choices, presented in alphabetical order:

Alfonso’s of La Jolla Many restaurants offer ‘wet’ burritos smothered in a variety of sauces, such as these from Alfonso’s of La Jolla. Top: Carne or Chicken Asada Burrito with ranchero sauce Bottom: Shredded Chicken Burrito with mole sauce, which blends chiles and chocolate Photos by Ashley Mackin

Nearly 40 years ago, owner Alfonso Fierro created a Carne Asada Burrito for his burgeoning restaurant that remains a bestseller today. A close second, he said, is the Spicy Shrimp Burrito, which he put on the menu 35 years ago.

Wahoo’s: Fish tacos and a whole lot more! By Kelley Carlson t Wahoo’s Fish Taco, using fresh ingredients in unique combinations seems to make a world of difference. The 26-year-old restaurant chain — which offers an eclectic Mexican-Brazilian-Asianinfluenced menu — is popular among all ages, with a core market of casual diners and décor inspired by the surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding scene. At the La Jolla location — locally owned by Tal O’Farrell — the beach vibe, stickercovered windows; and colorful, wooden furniture make it a neighborhood favorite as a place to hang loose, especially after a day of catching waves. As the name implies, the inspiration behind the restaurant is the Fish Taco, which Wahoo’s co-founders (and brothers) Wing Lam, Ed Lee and Mingo Lee grew to crave while on surfing trips to Mexico several decades ago. Their version features wahoo, mahi-mahi or wild-caught salmon, simply grilled and placed inside soft corn tortillas. The tacos are stuffed with cheese, lettuce or cabbage, salsa and green sauce. A specialty alternative is the Citrus Slaw Taco with a mixture of cabbage, cilantro, onions and carrots tossed in lime juice, olive oil and spices on top of the tender fish. For those who like tacos super-spicy and extra flavorful, many customers add Mr. Lee’s Chili Sauce, a blend of green chiles, garlic and ginger made by the founders’ father, who opened the famous Shanghai Pine Garden Chinese restaurant in Orange County. The result: Kung Pao-style fish tacos. Guests may order tacos with other proteins besides fish, including grilled or Cajun-spice blackened chicken, braised-pork (carnitas), Angus-grilled steak (carne asada),

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured ‘On The Menu’ restaurant at www.bit.ly / menurecipes

n This week’s recipe:

Wahoo’s Citrus Slaw Fish Tacos

Wahoo’s top seller is the entree No. 2 with two, grilled-fish tacos; citrus slaw, beans, rice and salsa fresca.

sautéed shrimp, grilled salmon or tofu. They can be supplemented with sides of white or brown steamed rice and 100-percent vegetarian white or black beans that do not contain lard, according to Lam. Skinny versions of tacos can be prepared, as well, with the use of lettuce wraps rather than tortillas. However, Wahoo’s offers plenty more besides tacos; in fact, the menu recently underwent some changes upon the hiring of Head Chef Raymond Martin, who was most recently vice president of culinary development and corporate executive chef for BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. “Bringing Chef Martin on board — with his stellar culinary credentials, creativity and Ohana spirit — was a bold move,” Lam said. “By infusing his style with Wahoo’s signature recipes, we plan to tap into the latest food trends and introduce new recipes that will ride a wave of new creations.” Among the newest items is the Son of Classic Burrito, filled with protein of choice, beans, citrus slaw and a spicy roasted

tomato salsa; and the Kale Kai Salad with avocado, mixed greens, tortilla strips, black bean-and-corn salsa and a choice of protein. But there are still familiar favorites such as the Banzai Bowl, a colorful assortment with a protein of customers’ choice, bell peppers, onions, zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms and cabbage, sauteéd with teriyaki sauce on top of rice and beans. Also, many items can be prepared glutenfree, vegetarian and vegan. Patrons who want to wait out traffic and “chillax” at Wahoo’s before driving home for the evening can find contentment with small bites and a drink. These appetizers range from cajun fries with spicy ketchup to taquitos and quesadillas. One unique appetizer is the Baja Rolls with chopped chicken breast, cream cheese, spinach and salsa wrapped-and-rolled in a soft, flour tortilla and then sliced into bite-size pieces. For beverages, customers can sip glasses of wine, a variety of both bottled and ontap beers, or take advantage of the “beer of the month” at discounted prices. u

Black Bean Brownies Reprinted from ‘Ten Dollar Dinners’ by Melissa d’Arabian. Black beans add a velvety texture and incredible moistness to these rich, chocolaty brownies. The best part is because of the grounding protein and fiber they sneak in, the brownies don’t send kids into a sugar rush after they eat them. Makes 12 brownies n Ingredients 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 3/4 cup cooked black beans 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 large eggs 1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

Photo by Ben Fink

n Method: Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish with butter and set aside. Place 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each until the chocolate is melted. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a small bowl, and set aside. Purée the beans with the oil in a blender. Add the eggs, cocoa, granulated sugar, coffee, vanilla and melted chocolate, and purée until smooth. Add the flour mixture and pulse just until incorporated. Scrape the mixture into a medium bowl and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until the surface is somewhat matte around the edges and still glossy in the center, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing into 12 squares. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve.

Hunger Games in the Real World

t age 6, Nya, a girl living in San Diego, was suffering from malnourishment because her father, a single parent was struggling to raise (and feed) his children on an $11-an-hour job. For long periods of time their cupboards were bare, and Nya, who is now 18, subsisted on a diet of ramen noodles and free lunches provided by her charter school. She was in crisis, severely starving and depressed, with failing grades one of the many forms of collateral damage. After three weeks of eating cheap, toxic carbs, Nya landed at Urgent Care. At this turning point, her proud father was now willing to accept help from the county in the form of CalFresh benefits (food stamps), enabling him to buy healthier foods, and provide a more balanced diet for his family with an assortment of fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins and grains. Once the children had access to nutritious food, they were transported from a dark past to a future of hope. Today, Nya is thriving as she completed her senior year of high school with an impressive 3.5 GPA. She is enjoying a fulltime summer job and headed to community college this month. According to Jennifer Tracy, executive director of the San Diego Hunger Coalition, 15 percent of San Diego children are not getting enough food to sustain themselves, and some are stuffing their bodies with cheap, empty calories causing obesity (another form of malnutrition) and diabetes. Tracy claims this problem is a curable one. The

Center for American Progress conducted a recent study that found it costs more to allow hunger to persist than it does to eradicate it, taking into account taxes for health costs and education. For every additional dollar a parent is allotted to spend on food, the more likely they are to buy healthy food, adds Tracy. In a noble effort to stamp out childhood hunger in America, the San Diego Hunger Coalition has collaborated with its sister national organization, Share our Strength for a gastronomic fundraiser, the 20th annual Taste of the Nation. Slated for 3-6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 14 at Hilton San Diego Bayfront, the event will showcase bites and beverages from 50 of San Diego’s finest chefs and restaurants, wineries, brewers and distilleries, along with silent auctions and other entertaining activities. Philanthropic purveyors include Alchemy, George’s California Modern Cuisine, Ironside Fish and Oyster, Leroy’s Kitchen, Marina Kitchen Restaurant and Bar, Odysea Lounge at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, Pacifica Del Mar, Pizzeria Mozza, Puesto and Searsucker. As the cherry on top, VIP attendees can meet local culinary and Food Network rock star, Melissa d’Arabian, the honorary chair of the event who has also graciously contributed this kid-friendly, brownie recipe you can whip up and enjoy at home.

When your website is EatABurrito.com — you better have good burritos! At Don Carlos,

Jose’s Court Room Burritos are popular with Southern Californians as fast-and-convenient ‘to go’ (para llevar) meals.

they have burritos for every taste preference, and even have a secret menu for locals. Secret food items include dishes named after local bands or stand-up comedians who perform regularly at The Comedy Store across its street. Owner Ryan Hill said being hyper-local means they have a responsibility to their customers, whom they regularly see, so the secret menu is in addition to the breakfast, vegetarian and meat burritos already offered. “We go for what’s cool and what people ask for,” Hill said. One such example is the El Niño Burrito, which was inspired by a friend’s love of Philly Cheesesteaks, and includes carne asada, peppers, onions, cheese and salsa. n Signature burrito: California Burrito

When describing the signature Carne Asada Burrito at Jose’s, general manager Kristin Hollingsworth said, “It’s basically everything you could want in a burrito,” because it has steak, guacamole and salsa fresca, topped with sauce and cheese. Their burrito menu is limited to the usual choices, but each one is stuffed with quality ingredients, which Hollingsworth said is key. This also applies to the Surf and Turf Burrito, which used to be on special only, but due to frequent requests, became a regular fixture on the menu. n Average cost of a burrito: $12 n California Burrito?

Here, the sheer amount of burritos is enough to make you dizzy. There are more than 20 choices (!) that include different meats, combinations of meats, various meat preparations (such as grilled or shredded chicken), vegetarian options and a handful of seafood selections that include smoked tuna and lobster. Most, excluding vegetarian options, come in mini or full-sized. “We have a big menu,” joked Connie Bravo, the owner’s daughter.

Porkyland

It wouldn’t make sense to call your restaurant Porkyland if you didn’t serve pork. That’s why one of the specialties is their Carnitas Burrito, which is slow-cooked pork prepared in a copper pot with a recipe used since 1982. But the Porky Signature Burrito takes it up a notch, layering carnitas, a whole chile relleno, rice and sour cream. For other meats, Porkyland also uses homemade marinades to season and tenderize. A popular choice for its marinade is the chicken, which is used in several burritos. n Average cost: $7 n California Burrito: Yes, but on top of that, it’s a Surf and Turf California Burrito with fries, steak and shrimp. n Seafood options: Shrimp n Key to a great burrito: Manager Gabriel Camacho insists the meat — whatever it is — needs to be tender, juicy and flavorful. n How to find Porkyland: 1030 Torrey Pines Road.

One of the newer additions to the Village of La Jolla, this place is stepping it up when it comes to making things in-house, the key to a great burrito.

You can even see the tortilla-making station in the back of the restaurant. As an added bonus, they offer online ordering and payment, so customers can just walk in and pick up orders.

Verdes El Ranchero

Here, size matters. The burritos are huge, says owner Gloria Green, so much so that she said she sees several patrons unable to finish one in one sitting. The burritos can be covered in homemade sauces, made with recipes often handed down from the cooks’ families. But, Green attests, there is nothing fancy about these burritos, just simple with great flavors. Flavors, she said, is the key to a good burrito, adding that every component has to be well seasoned and distributed evenly so every bite has flavor. Case in point: The Shrimp Burrito has shrimp chopped up so there is some in every bite. n Signature: The Carne Asada or Carnitas Burritos — both with guacamole, cheese and salsa fresca. Green recommends adding beans to both. n Average cost: $12 n California Burrito? Yes, but it was only added to the menu four months ago.

Wahoo’s Fish Taco

At Wahoo’s, the name of the game is choice. Instead of specifying one type of protein to one type of burrito, Wahoo’s offers different styles of burritos with your choice of protein. Owner Tal O’Farrell explained there are five specialty burritos that patrons can fill with fish (grilled or blackened with Cajun spices), chicken, shrimp, pork, steak, salmon or tofu. Another important choice to make, all burritos are served dry, but can be covered in either a traditional enchilada sauce or Wahoo’s green sauce made from roasted peppers and cilantro. His choice? The signature Outer Reef Burrito with fish covered in green sauce. n Key to a great burrito: Fresh ingredients and the right cook who can prepare it correctly, with spot-on seasonings and sauces. n Average cost: About $6 n California Burrito? Yes. While it does not appear on the menu, Wahoo’s can make it upon request. n Seafood options: Wahoo fish — the restaurant’s namesake that is grilled and not fried as with most other restaurants — as well as sautéed shrimp and grilled salmon. n How to find Wahoo’s: 637 Pearl St. (858) 459-0027.

North Coast Rep Theatre

Season 33 promises to be a powerhouse I

said. “It was written near the end of his life and reveals some of his inner demons. It will be performed on the ‘Fallen Angels’ set.” Later in September, there’s a very special event, presented in connection with the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture — an updated version of “The Rothschilds,” the 1970 Broadway musical that turned out to be the last collaboration of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, best known for “Fiddler on the Roof.” Composer Bock died in 2010, but lyricist Harnick and bookwriter Sherman Yellen have been re-working the play, now titled “Rothschild & Sons,” for the past few years. Local audiences will have a chance to see the results in a two-nights-only workshop production Sept. 22 and 23, before the show goes back to New York, and, possibly, Broadway. Next up, on Oct. 15, is the San Diego premiere of the 2011 off-Broadway hit, “Freud’s Last Session,” with Ellenstein directing. In this imagined encounter between the aged, cancer-ridden father of psychoanalysis (a devout atheist) and the brilliant young author/professor C.S. Lewis (a former atheist turned devout Christian), their meeting on the eve of World War II turns into an intellectual duel-almost-tothe-death on the subjects of love, God

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt n numerology, No. 33 is what’s called a “master number” — a balance of powers, transforming the consciousness of many. North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 33rd season looks to be all of that. Starting with Noel Coward’s “Fallen Angels” on Sept. 3 seems numerologically perfect — No. 3 means creativity, charm, wit and humor, and Coward’s plays have no shortage of those. This one features a pair of married BFFs anxiously awaiting a blast from their once-romantic pasts, with a passionate Frenchman, a sassy housekeeper and two clueless husbands adding to the fun. Not as well known as other Coward classics like “Blithe Spirit” or “Private Lives,” “Fallen Angels,” which first opened in London in 1925, has lately been making the rounds of theaters here and abroad and scoring rave reviews. “It’s a Champagne cocktail of a play, one of Noel Coward’s earliest, and it’s directed by Rosina Reynolds, who played one of the leading ladies herself, in the late 1980s, at the old Gaslamp Theatre,” said NCRT’s Artistic Director David Ellenstein. During the run, on Sept. 15, there will be a one-night reading of one of Coward’s last plays, “Song at Twilight.” “The later play is much darker,” Ellenstein

and the meaning of life. Closing out the year is “This Wonderful Life,” a one-man tour-de-force based on the Christmas film, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” “Jim Leaming — the Narrator in our recent production of ‘Who Am I This Time?’ — plays all the parts himself,” Ellenstein said. “He’s very charming, very Jimmy Stewart, and he’s been taking the show around the country since 2008. This is the smallest theater he’s performed in, so it should feel very intimate here.” The new year kicks off with “Gunmetal Blues,” a musical spoof of 1940s film noir, followed by Neil Simon’s autobiographical rom-com “Chapter Two” (the first play ever produced by NCRT), and “Unnecessary Farce,” a zany escapade involving molls, cops, hitmen ... and bagpipes. Harold Pinter’s powerful “Betrayal”

arrives next June, followed by the musical “Side by Side by Sondheim” in July. Response to Season 33 has already been positive. “It’s an audience-friendly season, and our subscriptions have really gone up,” Ellenstein said. “But we’re still looking out for a new space. We have 194 seats here, and we’d like to have at least 350, plus a larger stage and more backstage facilities — a bigger and better space to do what we do.” u

Sexy and witty ‘Fallen Angels’ opens North Coast Rep season By Diana Saenger Prepare for an entertaining trip back to 1925 when North Coast Repertory Theatre opens its 33rd season with Noël Coward’s “Fallen Angels.” Director Rosina Reynolds said she took on the play with gusto when Artistic Director David Ellenstein asked her to helm the production. Among the projects in her amazing resume is a production of “Fallen Angels” years ago at the Gaslamp Quarter Theater. “Noël Coward is the master of repartee. He knows how to write a witty, well-written, well-constructed play,” she said. “His work parallels that of Richard Brinsley, Butler Sheridan, George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde with high comedy and clever language.” “Fallen Angels” is set in 1925 London. Julia Sterroll (Joanna Strapp) and Jane Banbury (Summer Spiro) have been best friends for a long time; so close that seven years ago they had an affair with the same Frenchman, Maurice Duclos (Richard Baird). Since then, they’ve both been married for five years to two Englishmen. Out of the blue, they receive a postcard that Maurice is in town. “They freak out,” Reynolds said. “They love their husbands and respect them; but are not in love with their husbands. After five years with that sense of restlessness, they’re still looking for romance and passion.” The cast of the show includes both

returning artists and new artists to NCRT. “I wanted young actresses for the right spin on the play,” Reynolds said. “Because these characters are very close friends, they have to know how to ring the other person’s bell. It’s a wonderful give-and-take and back-and-forth between them. One minute they’re leaning on each other for support to stand firm in their decisions, and the next, they’re competing and fighting with each other. It’s actually rather insightful on the mercurial quality of women’s minds.” She credits stage manager Aaron Rumley, set designer Marty Burnett and lighting master Matt Novotny for performing miracles with the staging. “The NCRT stage is a tiny, very challenging space. There’s no wing space, no back stage, no height,” she said. “They made it all work. Also, costume designer Alina Bokovikova did a lovely job on the 1920s styles, which is very important in representing the era.” Still, the question remains for theatergoers, will the “Fallen Angels” remain faithful to their husbands or run away rather than confront Maurice? With such talent behind the story, you’ll surely want to see it told. u n IF YOU GO: “Fallen Angels” runs Sept. 3-28 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $37 at (858) 481-1055 and NorthCoastRep.org

At Age 104

Trude Hollander shares thoughts on her very special life By Pam Kragen Special to La Jolla Light

ooking back on 104 birthdays, retired Dr. Trude Hollander said she’s had a wonderful life: a long and happy marriage, a trailblazing career in medicine, good health and great friends. But things weren’t always easy for the La Jolla resident, who survived the Holocaust in Germany, then dealt with intense sexism when she moved to the United States in the mid-1930s to launch her medical practice. Hollander’s parents died in Nazi concentration camps, which influenced her difficult decision to remain childless. But the good years have long outweighed the bad, she said. And when asked how she endured the prejudice she faced first as a Jew in Germany and then as a rare woman doctor in Depression-era America, she has a simple answer. “I got used to it,” she said. Despite her age, Hollander still walks without assistance, doesn’t need eyeglasses, regularly attends symphony concerts and reads voraciously, including Frenchlanguage magazines. Longtime friend Dr. Don Kikkawa said Hollander has a true zest for life. “We are seeing increasingly more healthy patients in their 90s, but Trude is one of a kind,” said Kikkawa, who works at Shiley Eye Center in La Jolla. “In my professional

“

I thought I might want to be a nurse because I like to see people get better. My mother heard me say that and said, ‘Why not become a doctor?’

”

— Dr. Trude Hollander practice and in my personal life, I have never met anyone else like her. She is the epitome of beauty, elegance and compassion.” Born in 1910 in the Black Forest village of Offenbach, Trude was the only child of shopkeepers Bernard and Meta Kahn. They spoiled her and encouraged her to dream big. When her father was sent to the battlefront during World War I, her mother ran their housewares store alone. She proved so adept at business that she continued working even after he returned home. One day, a family friend asked the teenage Trude what she wanted to do with her life. “I said I thought I might want to be a nurse because I like to see people get better. My mother heard me say that and said, ‘Why not become a doctor?’ ” Trude said.

In the 1920s, there were few opportunities for girls, but her parents encouraged her decision to enroll in medical school in Bonn, where she would be one of four women to graduate in a class of 120. Years later, when she was setting up her gynecology practice in Springfield, Mass., she was shunned and criticized by the mostly male medical establishment. “For any woman it was difficult in those days,” she said. “All the men hated me, and the city’s two other women doctors hated me even more because I was competition.” But overcoming obstacles and making hard choices had become a way of life for Hollander. When she was halfway through medical school in January 1933, Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany, and a clampdown began on Jewish travel, education and business. Friends and neighbors she grew up with turned away almost overnight. “I had a lot of very good friends until Hitler came to power. Then, anyone in a brown uniform had nothing to do with me after that,” she said. Worried about the future, the Kahns sent their daughter in 1935 to San Francisco, where she did her medical internship at Mount Zion Hospital. Because she heard there were good hospitals in Massachusetts,

she moved to Springfield in 1938 to take her exams. Not long after, love came knocking on her door. Dr. Alfred Hollander, a dermatologist who had recently emigrated from Germany to Springfield, went to the electric company to find voltage adapters for his Europeanmade office equipment. Just a few months before, the utility had solved the same problem for Trude, so they handed him her address. It was love at first sight. “I wrote my parents to say I met the man I’m going to marry,” she said. But their joy was tempered by tragedy. While she was studying for her boards in November 1938, Kristallnacht — known as the “night of broken glass” — occurred in Germany. Her parents’ store was destroyed and they were sent to concentration camps. Her father would die in a French camp, and her mother died in Auschwitz. The experience was so traumatic, and the future for Jews so uncertain, the Hollanders decided not to have children after they married in 1940. “It was a hard time to bring Jewish children into the world,” she said. “I was working, too. It was no place for children.” For 45 years, Trude ran her practice, and her husband became world-renowned in the field of dermatology, serving on the teaching staffs at Harvard and Boston universities and at UC San Diego. In 1979, they retired and moved to San Diego, which they picked for its weather. Together, they traveled the world, cooked, entertained and were active in arts, medical and philanthropic organizations. In 1986, they were on vacation in Europe when he suffered a fatal heart attack at age 87. Although losing her husband was the most difficult life challenge she faced, Hollander stayed active in local causes she has endowed, including UC San Diego ophthalmology department and the Shiley Eye Center. u

LA JOLLA LIGHT - august 28, 2014 - Page B17

Soul-stirring musical memoir comes to San Diego Rep By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Mona Golabek is an award-winning concert pianist who has performed with major orchestras around the world and been the subject of several PBS-TV documentaries. In 2003, she co-wrote a book about her mother, Lisa Jura, who was her first piano teacher and lifelong inspiration. The book became the basis for a one-woman show, “The Pianist of Willesden Lane,” which premiered at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles in 2012. Pianist/actor/composer/playwright/ producer/director Hershey Felder, wellknown here for his portrayals of Beethoven, Chopin and Gershwin, adapted and directed the original production, which the L.A. Times called “an arresting, deeply affecting triumph.” The show has since gone on to successful runs in Chicago, Berkeley and New York, and will be coming to San Diego Repertory Theatre Sept. 3-28. At the keyboard, Golabek shares her family memoir of music, hope and survival, accompanying it with her own renditions of pieces from the classical piano repertoire. The story begins in Vienna in 1938, with 14-year-old Lisa Jura, whose mother is also a pianist, dreaming of her Viennese concert debut. But the Juras are Jewish, and the

coming of the Nazis puts an end to Lisa’s dreams. Lisa is lucky enough to be one of 10,000 children taken to safety in London as part of the rescue mission called the Kindertransport. Her mother’s last words to her as she boards the train: “Hold on to your music. It will be your best friend.” Willesden Lane was the hostel where Lisa

managed to survive both the Holocaust and the bombing of London, ultimately having her concert debut at London’s Wigmore Hall. Her parents were not so lucky. Years later, honoring the words of the grandmother she never got to meet, Mona Golabek founded Hold On To Your Music, a nonprofit which provides copies of her book, “The Children of Willesden Lane,” and educational materials about events like the Holocaust, to students and teachers. The organization is dedicated to spreading the message that even in the face of terrible adversity, music has the power to lift and embolden the human spirit. In a recent interview, at the end of a soldout, seven-week run of “The Pianist” in New York, Golabek talked about the show’s evolution, and her own. “I learned my mother’s story during my piano lessons. She would say: ‘Every piece of music tells a story, but you have to discover what the story is.’ “As I played, she would tell me stories, about the boy she fell in love with at the hostel, or how she pounded out a Grieg concerto while the bombs were coming down. Those were the things that sustained her, and she passed them on to me.” “The Pianist of Willesden Lane” began as a 40-minute selection of her mother’s

stories, which Golabek shared at readings around the country. After seeing Hershey Felder’s performance of “Beethoven As I Knew Him,” she phoned him to ask for advice on how to turn her piano-accompanied readings into something more. “He was so generous,” she said. “I showed him what I’d been doing, and he took me under his wing. He transformed and enriched the piece, and made me become my mother, telling the story in her voice. And the music is the secret arrow that pierces the heart.” Performing “The Pianist” has been a thrilling experience, Golabek said, not least because of the hundreds of letters she receives, especially from young people, saying how much her mother’s stories inspired them. “Every night, before I go on stage, I open one of the letters and read it. That helps me give my whole heart to every show.” u n IF YOU GO: San Diego Repertory Theatre’s production with Mona Golabek in “The Pianist of Willesden Lane” plays matinees/evenings Sept. 3-28; opening Saturday, Sept. 6 at Lyceum Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, San Diego.

everything You need to know about Smart tVs Everything seems to be going smart these days, and that now includes our television sets. But if you’re wondering if it is wise to go smart with your entertainment system, here are answers to all the essential questions. What is a smart TV? “Smart TVs”, or what used to be called “connected TVs” are televisions that can be connected to the internet to access streaming media services and entertainment apps, such as on demand video-rental services, Internet music stations, or Web browsers. While some rely on a wired Ethernet connection, most have built-in Wi-Fi. Because of this, it’s

important to keep in mind the location and coverage of your Wi-Fi router. In some cases, you may need a Wi-Fi range extender. How do smart TVs differ from one another? As of today, there is no standard operating system or interface for smart TVs. This means that each manufacturer uses different software and graphics, and also will offer a different variety of online services. For the most part, all smart TVs will provide the most popular services such as Netflix and Pandora, however some companies only offer a handful of apps while others offer pages worth. It’s best to spend some time scrolling through the set’s offerings to see which one will give you the services you’re looking for. Is a smart TV vulnerable to the same “bugs” as computers? Can a smart TV crash or freeze like a PC? Can it still be hacked or contract a virus? Unfortunately, the answer to all of those questions is yes. Smart TVs use computer chips to handle video processing, upscaling, multiple screens and an Internet connection. They also use memory to buffer streaming video and music, and need additional processing power to deal with graphics. While these

things can occasionally cause crashing or freezing, simply turning the set off then on again usually resolves these issues. And while the security is improving, smart TVs are not yet as safe as computers, so it is not recommended to conduct your banking or online shopping on your smart TV. Can you surf the web on a smart TV? In order to fully go online, your set will require a special browser that’s not only compatible with all the HTML standards that websites use, but can also convert and properly display those sites on a big screen. Some smart TVs can do this, but not all. Be sure to ask if your set has its own browser, and also inquire about a wireless keyboard option. Is a smart TV better than a standard TV with a set-top box? Services like Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Fire TV offer some streaming services like Netflix, or iTunes if you go with Apple TV, and can be fairly inexpensive (a Roku Streaming Stick is just $50). So if you don’t want to buy a new TV but want smart-TV services, this may be an option. However, while a smart TV usually costs about $150 more than a compatible TV this isn’t “smart”, that price gap is narrowing and

generally, the smart service is not the only added benefit. Because smart TVs are part of a manufacturer’s higher-end product, you will most likely also be getting better picture quality and additional features such as more HDMI ports. Can a smart TV replace cable? There has been a lot of talk about “cord cutting”, or terminating the need for cable or satellite TV in favor of paid online services such as Hulu Plus and Netflix. While most channels such as HBO offer a limited number of shows through their app, the only way to get the full channel is still through cable or satellite. Additionally, watching live sporting events is still dependent on the standard modes of television. But if your family mainly uses TV for movies and the occasional TV show, then this “cord cutting” may be possible.

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 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.

Youth and mentors in the Boys to Men Mentoring Network on one of the program’s regular surf night excursions to La Jolla Shores Aug. 12. Courtesy Photos

Program connects fatherless, disadvantaged boys with waves and options By Pat Sherman lthough they live less than an hour from the ocean, some teen boys from single-parent, low-income households or foster homes have never been to the beach, much less set foot on a surfboard. “A lot of their families don’t have cars and they don’t have the mom or the dad that says, ‘Hey, let’s go to the beach today,’ ” said Craig McClain, executive director of San Diego-based Boys to Men Mentoring Network. “They just hang around the neighborhood — and for teenage boys with nothing to do, that’s a problem.” Fortunately, McClain’s organization offers these young men a chance to behold the ocean’s seemingly endless expanse — and to contemplate the boundless potential in their own lives beyond the everyday obstacles and limitations they face. As part of its outreach, Boys to Men holds outings for youth at beaches in La Jolla, Pacific Beach and Del Mar, where they learn to surf and connect with adult, male mentors who offer a different perspective on life. Boys to Men held its most recent twilight surf excursion and barbeque in La Jolla Shores Aug. 12. “We had five young men from a group foster home that had never been surfing — and had never been to La Jolla before,” McClain said of the event. “It was amazing how polite, gracious and thankful they were to be hanging out with a bunch of guys … and doing something that they wanted to learn. Each time a kid caught a wave you could see the men’s arms go up and a smiles on the boys’ faces.” Boys to Men will be holding its fifth annual 100 Wave Challenge surf fundraiser for the organization, 6 a.m.-6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 20 in Mission Beach. Surfers — including Boys to Men mentors, youth participants and members of the public — collect pledges of $1 or more per wave. The goal is for adult

La Jolla Realtor and Boys to Men mentor Jason Bernardo takes part in last year’s 100 Wave Challenge fundraiser for the organization. Bernardo said the transformation he has seen in teen boys has been miraculous, and has kept him volunteering for nearly eight years. participants to raise $1,000 each by getting a $1 per wave pledge from 100 people (and surfing 100 waves). South African surfing legend, author and environmentalist Shaun Tomson will be the event’s celebrity host. “It’s a fun day, though it is a challenge,” said La Jolla resident and Boys to Men mentor Jason Bernardo, who competed in the first four 100 Wave Challenges and is soliciting pledges for the fifth event next month. “In a normal surf session you only catch five, 10 or 20 waves on really good days. A hundred waves is a lot of work.” However, it is nothing compared to the effort of Boys to Men participants, said Bernardo, a Realtor with La Jolla-based PS Platinum Properties who got involved with the program reluctantly about seven years ago. After being dragged to one of the event’s fundraisers by a woman he was dating at the time — and viewing a moving

The 15-yearold is training for his second 100 Wave Challenge. He surfed 140 waves in last year’s fundraising event. presentation on the organization — Bernardo volunteered his services on the spot. “I just found myself tearing up,” he said. “It really struck a chord with me.” Boys to Men engages middle school boys ages 11-14, and high school boys ages 15-17, who are identified by school administration to be at-risk of educational failure, dropping out of school, juvenile delinquency or gangrelated offenses. Since it was founded in 1996, the nonprofit has mentored more than 6,000 boys and has trained mentors in 24 states. About 72 percent of boys in the program are growing up without a father. Beyond surfing excursions, mentors take boys on camping trips and other outings. Bernardo said youth typically enter the program extremely bottled up and leery. “These 13-year-old kids come in and they’re acting pretty tough but you … realize how bad they need this and how badly they just need someone to tell them that they’re OK. You know, they’re hearing from everybody, ‘You’re stupid,’ ‘you’re getting bad grades’ and ‘you’re getting in trouble.’ Some people keep reinforcing that and we just kind of go, ‘Hey look, yeah, you’re doing drugs, yeah you’ve got bad grades, yeah you’re skipping school … (but) I think you’re great, I love you, I care about you. If you want to come and show up, I’ll be here either way.’ … It really makes a big difference to know that they’re going to have somebody there to support them that’s not just telling them there’s something wrong with them all the time.” Bernardo recalled a 13-year-old boy who entered the program several years ago, who was hanging around gangs and addicted to pills and methamphetamines. “He pretty adamantly knew that his next step was either death or jail,” Bernardo recalled. “To me, it really felt like he was on the verge of being one of these kids that is lost and goes into a school and shoots up the school. I mean, he had access to guns, he’s on drugs and he’s got nobody in his life.” Eventually, Bernardo witnessed a breakthrough. “It kind of sunk in that he had a reason to keep going … and he brought in a couple other young guys that were also thinking about getting into this gang. … Fast forward three or four years and he’s out of trouble, he’s off drugs … and looking at colleges.” Through his participation in the program, the boy has since started mentoring other

There’s so many layers of transformation you see, but its amazing when you see these kids mentoring other kids a few years later — going from being the ones that are really going to be a burden on society to clearly the ones that are saving society, that are probably more accountable and more responsible than a lot of 30- or 35-year-old men that I know.” Several other La Jolla residents and businessmen serve as Boys to Men mentors and will be participating in the 100 Wave Challenge, including: Jon Sundt (Altegris Investments), Dane Soderberg (PS Platinum Properties), Craig Gagliardi (Berkshire Hathaway), Joris Hitt (Morgan Stanley), Jared Wells (Wells Academic Solutions) and brothers Tim, Trevor and Ryan Callan (Callan Capital). Trevor Callan, a mentor of five years, said it is important to introduce boys to physically challenging outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing like those he experienced with his own grandfather. “For these young men that don’t have that kind of a father figure in their lives, Boys to Men (provides) the exact same situation, but using the ocean and surfing as a mechanism to teach them the importance of not giving up, overcoming challenges and staring adversity in the eye — to keep going and ultimately overcome it,” Trevor Callan said. “Surfing has the ability to do all that for them — and for me — and that’s why I’m involved.” u
