Construction for the Avenida de la Playa Infrastructure Replacement Project and Group Job 809 — which began Dec. 9 and paused for the summer construction moratorium in May — was scheduled to resume Sept. 2. However, work was pushed back to Sept. 8 so a subcommittee of business owners could meet with the construction team and the city.

Tourism Authority launches $1 million marketing plan to promote La Jolla By Pat Sherman The San Diego Tourism Authority (SDTA) has embarked on a three-pronged, $3 million international marketing plan for three San Diego “sub-regions,” including Mission Bay, Mission Valley and La Jolla. SDTA public relations manager Robert Arends, who is marketing La Jolla as a world-class, luxury destination, announced plans during the La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s (LJVMA) August meeting. During the yearlong publicity blitz, which began July 1, Arends and his team will pitch the Village to travel writers throughout the U.S. and Canada. “We’ve got a huge database of every publication in
the country — broadcast and print,” he said. Arends is in Canada this week promoting La Jolla during a trip to Vancouver, British Columbia and Calgary, Alberta. “I have sit-downs with all of the Robert Arends editors/travel editors at publications (there),” he said. In November, SDTA will host a “Luxury La Jolla Media Tour,” for which it will fly in six to nine print/broadcast travel writers for an all-expenses-paid tour of La Jolla.

Avenida de la Playa must be closed. Business and restaurant owners are hoping the work can be done at night to minimize the impacts from dust, noise and lack of parking. “We are scared to death,” said Barbarella restaurant owner Barbara Beltaire. “This project was just thrown at us, and they did not tell us the street would be closed.”

Bike-sharing operator pulls unpopular plan from La Jolla streets
From Shores Merchants, A1 Business owners received notice Aug. 21 that the work was scheduled to start Sept. 2, and would involve the daytime closure of segments of the thoroughfare. Both Beltaire and Surf Diva co-owner Izzy Tihanyi expressed concern over whether businesses would survive the construction. “The impact is not only because the street will be closed, but because people don’t want to eat, drink and shop in a construction zone,” Beltaire said. “Our customers are going to go elsewhere. They are going to find other places.” Construction manager Yoftahe GhiliaMichael explained at a standing-room-only meeting Aug. 29 that the Avenida de la Playa Infrastructure Replacement Project work that resumes Sept. 8 involves closing off Avenida de la Playa at Camino Del Sol up to Calle de la Plata for the completion of the storm drain, and installation of box culverts along with sewer and water mains. The fenced off area would be closed 24 hours a day until around Thanksgiving. The sidewalks would remain open and vehicles will have access to Calle de la Plata. For Group Job 809, the sewer lines along Avenida de la Playa will be replaced in two scheduled phases. The first of which would close the street from Sewer Pump Station 27 at Laureate Park (mid-block between El Paseo Grande and Paseo Del Ocaso) to just west of La Jolla Shores Drive, and is scheduled to begin in November. The second phase covers the portion of the street where businesses would be most impacted

— restaurants, retail shops and cafes — between Sewer Pump Station 27 and Calle de la Plata, and is scheduled to begin in January, when business is generally slower. During the latter phase, the sidewalks will remain open. Streets that feed into Avenida de la Playa will also have sewer and water lines replaced. Attorney and art gallery owner Shirley Church said, “What we need is a coordinated effort to minimize the harm. If you can do some of the work at night, that kind of assistance to the merchants on the street would help us make it through this. We can work with the city, if the city will work with us.” Recognizing the “problem with communicating” thus far, Transportation & Stormwater department spokesperson Bill Harris said, “The extent and the timing was news to everyone, and I apologize for that …
but we are going to try to minimize impacts to every extent that we can and work with you to do so.” Originally squashing the idea of nightwork due to its potential burden on residents and additional costs, Harris committed to seeking a night-work permit for the Avenida de la Playa project, for which a petition will soon circulate to get the required signatures. Any business or resident within 500 feet of Avenida de la Playa must be considered. Harris also said the city would work to better communicate with merchants regarding the construction schedule and work planned. An update will be provided at the next La Jolla Shores Association meeting, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10 at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Building T-29, 8840 Biological Grade.

By Pat Sherman The operator of a citywide bikesharing program that initially included 14 bike kiosks in La Jolla e-mailed the heads of local community advisory groups last week stating that the program will not involve La Jolla for the foreseeable future. The retreat follows heavy criticism of the kiosks during presentations by Florida-based operator DecoBike, which resulted in them nixing three proposed sites in La Jolla Shores this summer. “Thank you all very much for giving us your time last month to meet and tour proposed Decobike sites in La Jolla,” wrote David Silverman of DecoBike San Diego. “We have decided to hold off on locating any sites in La Jolla for our initial (Oct. 30) launch, and have moved proposed La Jolla sites to other areas of the city. “We still think La Jolla is a good market for DecoBike and our service could be a benefit to the community, so we hope to include La Jolla in future service expansions,” Silverman added. “We don’t have a timeline for future expansions yet, but we will be sure to contact you if we consider expanding service to La Jolla in the future.” u

From Tourism, A1 “The writers have to be on assignment and guaranteed to generate a story, and La Jolla has to be the angle,” Arends said. “I’m going to come up with an itinerary that includes a lot of the major attractions, activities and then probably a few of the major hotels. For example, if I have them hosted at the La Valencia Hotel for the overnight stay, I’ll take them out to dinner, say, at Nine-Ten at the Grande Colonial. Then maybe I’ll take them to the Marine Room for lunch and a tour at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club and lunch at A.R. Valentien at The Lodge.” The four-day, morning-to-night itinerary includes a smattering of the best that La Jolla has to offer, including stops at cultural institutions such as the La Jolla Playhouse and Museum of Contemporary Art. “We want to get them in the water, maybe do some kayaking and/or hiking at the Torrey Pines State Reserve … maybe go to a gallery for a wine reception,” he said. The sub-market media plan was established largely at the request of hoteliers, Arends said. Rita Moore, director of sales and marketing for La Valencia Hotel, said the strategic marketing plan is the SDTA’s largest initiative to-date, and benefits the entire Village business district. “We requested their campaigns include extensive outreach to the luxury traveler, a visitor that will not only enjoy the beauty of the Village and its oceanscapes, but who will also populate our restaurants, bars and cafés, arts and culture institutions and local shops
The San Diego Tourism Authority will host travel writers in La Jolla and bring them to iconic places, such as the Cove, La Valencia Hotel and The Lodge at Torrey Pines. Light File Photos and businesses,” Moore said. “More tourism money means more money flowing into our local economy, more tax revenues flowing into our city coffers to help pay for the neighborhood improvements we all want, as well as dedicated funds to support our local icons, such as the La Jolla Playhouse.” Working with Arends will be SDTA International Marketing Representative Joe Timko, “La Jolla’s voice to the European markets” and the strong, emerging Asian travel market, Moore noted. Terry Underwood, general manager of the Grande Colonial, said the renewal of San Diego Tourism Marketing District funds last year allows resources to target the six subregions of San Diego. “Previously, all resources needed to be focused on the greater San Diego destination,” he said. In addition, Underwood noted, the SDTA has formed a Hotel Advisory Committee for
La Jolla consisting of a hotel managers from the Village, UTC and the Torrey Pines area. “Through our participation in this Advisory Committee, we can ensure that the Village gets its share of attention from the program,” he said. The nonprofit San Diego Tourism Authority (formerly San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau) has been in operation since 1954.

— making it difficult for institutions to recruit the next generation of scientific innovators. “Young scientists come out of school … and they’re wondering whether the United States is going to fund their scientific research,” he said. “They question whether
they should go to Israel, Singapore, Brazil or China … because that’s where they’re making those investments — and that’s something I’m very concerned about. We have to invest in the NIH as a budget priority, just like we would invest in keeping bridges from falling down.” In terms of immigration reform, Peters said he supports the Staple Act (H.R. 1227), which would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to make it easier for foreign nationals with advanced degrees in science, technology, math or engineering to establish residency. “Immigration law is telling us to kick out these really smart people,” he said. “Imagine if (Google co-founder) Sergey Brin had been sent back to Russia. Google would be a Russian company, and we don’t want that.” Peters also touted local innovation in the field of medical devices, such as ResMed’s CPAP machine, which helps people with sleep apnea, and tools for less invasive back surgery developed by NuVasive. He said he feels the federal government is “making some big mistakes” by taxing medical device companies on their sales. “A young company starting out is going to have a hard time making profits,” said

Peters, who represented La Jolla on the San Diego City Council (2000-2008) and served as chair of the Port Commission before being elected to Congress in 2012, touched on the political climate in the nation’s capital and his working relationship with other Congressional leaders in the region (he faces Republican former City Councilmember Carl DeMaio this fall in his quest for a second term). During his talk, Peters touted the San Diego region and La Jolla as hubs for the military, drone development, biotech and clean technologies, noting his role as cochair of the newly formed Congressional Algae Caucus and UC San Diego’s role as a leader in research and development of algaebased biofuels. Peters also highlighted the importance of advocating for increased National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for research into

That’s going to drive those jobs over to Europe.” Peters also spoke about his work with retired Navy Rear Admiral Ronne Froman, a longtime homeless advocate and former chief operating officer for both the Red Cross and City of San Diego. The two of them worked in concert to form the Military Transition Support Project to connect San Diego Veterans with resources to help make the shift back to civilian life easier. Of the 15,000 Marines and sailors released from duty each year in San Diego, about half remain here, Peters said. “San Diego has the third largest population of veterans in the United States,” he said. “We can provide them the support they need to get on their feet and get employed. The great thing about this is that we’re doing it without a dime of federal money and without an act of Congress. … I’m already getting calls from Virginia, Colorado Springs and other military towns who want to follow our model.” Peters maintained that Congress is still largely broken, though he said he continues to employ the bipartisan approach he championed when he ran for his first term.

Working with San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jerry Sanders, the five legislators successfully lobbied the president for $226 million to fund the next phase of improvements to the San Ysidro border crossing, where Peters said wait times can sometimes reach four hours,
preventing business owners from visiting their Mexican-based companies and decreasing the number of cross-border shipments. “We are losing millions of dollars in economic activity because of those border waits,” he said. One guest asked, “Do you see any hope that we can avoid a half trillion or a trilliondollar addition to our deficit each year?” Peter said that of the proposals being floated to manage the debt, he supports “many aspects” of the 2013 Simpson-Bowles
plan, for which he was attacked this year in TV ads featuring Bush-era Security Advisor Karl Rove (Rove’s Crossroads GPS spent $705,000 to air the DeMaio-boosting ad in San Diego this year). “We reduced the rate of increase of veterans benefits for mid-career veterans — we didn’t cut them,” Peters said of the plan. “We said they wouldn’t go up as fast, and we were hammered for doing that. It was the one part of (the plan) that I didn’t like, but we had to have a budget … and I was committed to hitting budget.” (Peters said he later worked to restore the cut.) “The point of it is, when you take responsible leadership there’s always going to be something that people don’t like.” Asked by an attendee with a “poor opinion of the president” for his thoughts about the fellow Democrat and commanderin-chief, Peters maintained he has firmly established his independence as a legislator, and is not in lockstep with the president. Although Peters said he agrees with many of Obama’s policies, he expressed concern with the president’s seeming aloofness. “Sometimes I feel like he’s given up on Congress and a lot of us in the freshmen class, and I would like to have more contact with him. I wish that he would wake up tomorrow and decide he’s going to be more engaged with us. I think that would make more (things) more productive,” he said. However, Peters said Congress and public opinion have not been easy on the president. “When something goes wrong in foreign policy, I want the people to say, ‘The enemy is not the president. The enemy is Hamas, the enemy is Isis.’ ” u

Parks & Beaches group wants Children’s Pool cleaned after pupping season By Ashley Mackin In the aftermath of the recent California Coastal Commission (CCC) decision to close Children’s Pool/Casa Beach during the harbor seals’ pupping season, Dec. 15-May 15, La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJPB) community advisory committee weighed in on the vote at its Aug. 25 meeting, noting what members would like to see happen next. “I am thrilled with what happened at the coastal commission (meeting) because the line has been drawn,” said LJPB member Melinda Merryweather. “There will be five months of just seals on that beach and seven months of children on the beach. I just think it’s imperative that when it is turned over to the children, that it is cleaned. … And I think the city should do it. If the city won’t do it, I’ll tell you, there are people in this community who are willing to pay for it.” Examining the water and sand quality, and determining quality improvement methods during the five-year period for which the permit to close the beach applies, were part of the unanimously approved CCC motion. “I would like to see it happen soon,” Merryweather said. “It doesn’t seem fair for the children that when their turn comes to use the beach, they are given a litter box.” LJPB chair Dan Allen noted it was not known at the LJPB meeting what level of cleaning would be required, whether the city would simply have to look at the feasibility of cleaning, remove seaweed from the beach, or something more extensive. One option the LJPB board would like to
with the cheapest, fastest, most efficient way to do this.”

However, during excavation, it was determined the roots of two trees were larger than expected and had to be removed.
La Jolla Parks & Beaches members Debbie Beacham and Melinda Merryweather see explored would be to open the sealed sluiceways in the seawall — passages that allow for the flow of water into the Children’s Pool — as a means of removing the sand and regulating the flow of water. Not the first time the board made such a suggestion, Allen referenced a letter the board sent to the city in 2012. It read, in part: “La Jolla Parks & Beaches requests that the city investigate the benefits of reopening one or more of the four existing sluiceways in the Children’s Pool seawall as a mitigation measure to correct the excessive buildup of contaminated sand. If it is determined this measure is technically not possible, then we would ask your staff to prepare an alternate plan to mitigate the sand and water quality issues at the site.” The letter also referenced a study conducted in 1998 that looked into the

practicability of opening the sluiceways at an estimated cost of $30,000. LJPB requested Allen re-send the letter, which was revised Aug. 29 to include, “In consideration of the pace of deliberations and decisions related to the Children’s Pool to date, the study that the Commission asks for should begin promptly. We reiterate a previous request.” Should the city deem the reopening unfeasible as outlined in the 1998 study, LJPB member Ken Hunrichs said a new type of gate that might regulate the flow of water and sand is also an option. “There are certainly other ways to do it other than (reopening the sluiceways),” he said. One idea would be to install large, durable airbags that could be inflated to block water and sand from flowing through, and then deflated to let water through. Merryweather added, “We need to get on
n La Jolla Cove Pavilion: Judy AdamsHalter, part of the committee working to replace the Scripps Park restroom facility, reported the workshop held June 3 to gather feedback went well, and some good ideas were generated. Based on feedback, architects Safdie Rabines were able to proceed with creating renderings for the pavilion, which would be available in approximately eight weeks. Leading up to the renderings’ production, the committee will go to charitable organizations with “the feel of the building,” via rough sketches, upon which Adams-Halter said she is confident people will donate. “We are also looking to collaborate with organizations that hold events at the park, because the pavilion will be at their venue,” she said. u — La Jolla Parks & Beaches next meets 4 p.m. Monday, Sept. 22, at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

Hundreds of parents help register students at La Jolla High By Pat Sherman ome 200 parents descended on the La Jolla High School campus last week to help more than 1,600 students prepare for a new school year during the campus’ four-day registration process. “Students go through seven stations, each one manned by parent volunteers,” explained Marina Hayden, who began volunteering five years ago and now organizes the annual volunteer process with fellow parent Jane Schuman. “We will make sure that they have all their forms, get their pictures taken, get their schedules, lockers and books, so when they start the first day of school, they’re ready to go.” Hayden said she recruited parents via e-blast, assuring there were about 60 volunteers at 7 a.m. each day. “If we try to (register students) all in the same day the line would still be going at 5 o’clock at night,” noted front office receptionist Jo-Ellen Palreiro, accepting paperwork Aug. 27 from incoming senior Serena Robella, who said she was excited to return to La Jolla High after spending a year at a charter school. “I’m excited for grad night,” she chimed. “Now I can be here and do the walk down the field. … I’m also looking forward to only five classes my second semester, possibly.” Principal’s assistant Rita McGee-Bastani said teachers had three days of preparation on campus last week. “They work all summer getting ready, but now they’ve got their rooms, they’ve got their keys and their coworkers are all together.” Students chose their classes in the spring, including second and third choices. Placing registration paperwork in plastic sleeves, to be bound in a binder for school administration by other volunteers, parent Kristi Pieper said parent involvement sends a message to students that parents are a vital component of campus life and crucial to students’ academic success. “The kids know that you’re part of the campus, that you’re welcome on campus

Sophomore Samantha Poole has her school ID card and yearbook photo taken by Phil Reyman. Poole said she is excited to be playing clarinet in the school’s newly formed marching band.
Parents Haleh and Babak Bolour have volunteered assigning lockers for the past five years. This year, Haleh, who has a background in programming, computerized the checkout process, allowing students to chose their own lockers, with seniors receiving priority. “I’ve been involved volunteering since La Jolla Elementary,” said Haleh, whose oldest son, Arman, graduated from La Jolla High and is now studying biology at UC Irvine. “I love just interacting with the kids.” Her son, freshman Cameron Bolour, also helped out. “I’m excited and nervous because of challenging classes as well as social involvement,” Cameron said, noting this older brother advised him to choose a centrally located locker and to enjoy his time at La Jolla High, because it “goes by so quickly.” Earlier that morning, Dr. Chuck Podhorsky, who took the reigns as La Jolla High’s principal in January, addressed teachers in the school’s auditorium, including about a dozen new faculty faces. Podhorsky asked all staff and faculty to sign a declaration committing themselves to five leadership goals, including the principals of team-building, collaborative training, leadership development and
professional development. Podhorsky said he also wants to promote professional learning communities among faculty, in which teachers in a given discipline meet on a regular basis to evaluate their progress and share strategies. “The entire summer was spent working with our instructional leadership team to really develop what I’ll call an intellectually coherent system for our students,” he said. “We’re going to take a look at our indicators with a proactive lens. I don’t want to wait till the end of the year to (realize) we had a number of students that had 15 or 20 absences. I want to know in real time how our students are doing and how we can support them.” Podhorsky said he also asked teachers to revise their syllabus to indicate a student support plan. “I’m asking them to be very transparent in communicating to the parents,” he said. “If my daughter was struggling in her math class, I would want to know in a couple of weeks (how to get her back on track). I don’t want to know six weeks or nine weeks down the road … (when) she’s not going to pass the course and her self-esteem is going to be affected.” u

Bishop’s students come back to remodeled hall
T
he first day of school is a rite-ofpassage for all children, but for the 800 students at The Bishop’s School, this year’s opening day on Aug. 20 was particularly exciting — and not just because of the rare August thunderstorm. Bishop’s completed the renovation of its Ellen Browning Scripps Hall, which houses many student activities, including the school’s dining room and kitchen, health center and student center. Performing arts students also have new spaces to call home with the addition of a black box theater, instrumental and choral music classrooms. Students were welcomed back to school by Head of School Aimeclaire Roche who, in her remarks, drew from the Associated Student Body Council’s theme for the year, “Game Knight.” “The ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus once wrote, ‘The most important thing in the Olympic games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but competing well,’ ” Roche told students. “As we start our new school year, my advice is like that of old Epictetus: engaging in what Bishop’s has to offer is what this school is all about; follow your curiosity, feed a passion, discover just for the sake of uncovering something new. Compete well. Take part.” u — Keri Peckham, The Bishop’s School

Link Crew eases transition for incoming La Jolla High freshmen By Ashley Mackin he first day of high school brings a bevy of emotions. It also brings a series of questions. Will I make friends? Should I join a club? Will classes be too hard? What if I get bullied? Does that person like me? For the students entering their freshman year at La Jolla High School this year, they have the Link Crew to ease the transition and answer questions before their first day. During freshman orientation Aug. 28, the more than 400 incoming freshmen broke into groups with the 150 Link Crew leaders, who are all in their junior and senior years. The incoming freshmen played icebreaking games so they could get to know each other and their Link Crew leaders. “The whole point is so each freshman leaves here with 10 new friends,” said senior and Link Crew leader David Schultz. “These orientation games help people get to know each other and help them with the transition, because it helps to have a familiar face on your first day.” Associated Student Body (under which the Link Crew operates) president Zoe Rashid agreed. “The hardest part of your first day of school is walking into class and not knowing anyone,” she said. “You might know people from middle school when you come here, but this is a new place and people are going to be looking for new friends and someone they have something in common with. So the activities are more to introduce people and see that they find someone they can talk to. We want to make it so when they walk down the hall on the first day of school, or walk into a classroom, they see a familiar face.” In a group of nine incoming freshmen and three Link Crew members, icebreakers included each student stating their name,

what they had for breakfast, and from what middle school they came. They also did the Human Knot, where students standing in a circle grab a hand and have to untangle themselves without detaching, and created lists of all the things they had in common (loving In-N-Out Burger seemed to be universal). The small sessions also offered the opportunity to ask questions. “There might be something they wouldn’t want to ask in front of everyone, or ask an adult. They might think some questions might be frivolous and you wouldn’t want to ask, but this is a great way for them to know we are there for them and are happy to help them,” Rashid said. A common topic, Schultz said, is teacher reputations. “There are some teachers that have a bad reputation and the incoming freshman want to know more about that,” he said. “We let them know every teacher is

different. Some are … interesting.” At the breakout session, the topic was broached. Addressing the reputation that a certain teacher is mean, the Link Crew leaders clarified that she is just tough. “If you can pass her class, you can pass anything,” Schultz said. One teacher was commended for her unique wardrobe, another for his jokes. Questions for Link Crew leaders are encouraged, both in the groups and throughout the year. “We have them wear their bright red Link Crew shirts throughout the year so they can be spotted across campus and a freshman would know they can go up to them and ask questions,” ASB advisor Kerry Dill said. She added the students are encouraged to focus on the positive, so as not to overwhelm incoming students. That’s why the heavier subjects, such as bullying or drugs, are not brought up with Link Crew.
But soon after school starts, the campus recognizes the anti-bullying month of October, where students learn that bullying will not be accepted. “We have a zero-tolerance policy for bullying,” Rashid said. “We want people to feel as welcomed as possible. Everyone is a part of the school.” So Link Crew orientation day keeps it light, offering get-to-know-you games and a tour of the school, led by Link Crew leaders. Schultz said he even gives his phone number to his Link Crew group, so they can contact him throughout the year. “Link Crew was something that helped me when I came to La Jolla High, because I didn’t know too many people,” he said. “I was in a group with people from different middle schools, and I’m still friends with some of them today, so I wanted to pass that on.” u

Wellness Studio adds “beauty game changer” to fitness regimen
i-Lipo Pre-Sales Event
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.

Africa and Beyond
The beauty and diversity of African art drives gallery By Marti Gacioch he splendor and assortment of Africa’s many cultures enchanted Ian Allen throughout his boyhood in Zimbabwe. Now his passion and appreciation for Africa’s exotic art forms continues through his Africa and Beyond gallery, 1250 Prospect St., which is celebrating its 25th anniversary in the Village of La Jolla. His “Hats Off” exhibit (on display through October) showcases 50 hats and headdresses from throughout the world. Pieces include a Zulu hat woven from the hair of a mother and daughter that illustrates the unity of the two. “We have some feathered headdresses, including American Indian from the Iroquois, and a Sioux Indian porcupine hat, too,” boasted Allen. “You’ll also see beaded crowns from Nigeria and pieces from Asia,” There are literally thousands of languages spoken and hundreds of different cultures making up the continent of Africa, so naturally there are also many diverse beliefs from which comes the art so rich in culture, according to Allen. “Our gallery blends a mixture of both old traditional works and contemporary crafts with everything in between,” he said.
doing all they can to support fair trade projects that encourage indigenous peoples’ creativity. They’re also helping the Foundation for Woman, which micro finances projects to help women set up small businesses. Africa and Beyond has an overstocked warehouse that it uses to create changing exhibits. “What we’re showing now will be different next week because we’re constantly changing and evolving, and we try to tie in all of our exhibits with charities to help them,” Allen said.

Allen and his wife, Julie, visit Sub-Saharan Africa annually for several months in search of traditional and contemporary pieces for their gallery. “We’re always looking for something new, and we’re finding some terrific contemporary ceramic artists creating whimsical animals and people out of clay that are fresh and modern,” Allen said. The couple encourages indigenous artists
to use every part of the animal — whether it’s bone or horns — to make their jewelry. They give them beads and wires to create with, and watch them transform the supplies into magnificent art pieces. Allen is disheartened that the art of so many traditional cultures is dying out quickly as Africa makes its transition to the first world. In response, he and Julie are

Parkinson’s Association to open offices in Ximed Building
T
he Parkinson’s Association of San Diego will open offices in the Ximed Building at 9850 Genesee Ave., Suite 740 in La Jolla. “With the opening of this office, we will be able to broaden our reach to people who have Parkinson’s and they will have a convenient access to the association’s Minds and Motion program, close to where they see their primary physicians,” said Executive Director Jerry Henberger. Arika Johnson, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist, will be seeing patients. Appointments can be made at (877) 737-7576. The Parkinson’s Association will continue its work with a team of master’s level, predoctorate and post-doctorate professionals to provide therapeutic support groups, oneon-one counseling and family counseling to those who have Parkinson’s disease, members of their families, caretakers, and others who may be experiencing stress, depression and anxiety associated with the condition of Parkinson’s, as well as others with movement disorders.
Johnson said there’s often a lot of adjustment and difficulty with a diagnosis like Parkinson’s; almost always, patients and families don’t know what it’s going to look like in the future. “At any point, whether from the first diagnosis or 15 years later, most people will struggle with stress, feeling worried and anxious about the condition. Usually, medical doctors are quite Arika Johnson good at trying to manage the physical symptoms but progressively there’s a huge need to address the non-motor, non-physical symptoms. That’s what we do,” she said. The Parkinson’s Association is contracted to provide services for a number of insurances including Medicare and Medi-Cal. It also offers private-pay and sliding-scale rates for those with no insurance. u

Shores residents will meet to discuss aquatic businesses GUEST COMMENTARY By John Sheridan FOR La Jolla Shores Neighbors
A
ttention La Jolla Shores residents! We all have seen the exponential growth in the past five years of kayak and related aquatic businesses here in our Shores community. Kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling and scuba classes all compete with us for parking spaces, room on sidewalks, sand and even in the water at our public beach. We need to speak up now before this commercialization takes over our community. The issue is up for discussion at the next La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) meeting 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10 at the Scripps Oceanography building T-29 located at 8840 Biological Grade. Please use Lot P010 or P011 to park for free. LJSA meets once a month to make recommendations to the San Diego City Council and Councilmember Sherri Lightner (La Jolla) on matters concerning our neighborhood. Part of the meeting will include the opportunity to voice your opinions on the expansion of businesses on Avenida de la Playa and its impact on our community. There will be representatives from the lifeguards, Lightner’s office and many of your friends and neighbors in attendance. The city is developing a new RFP Master Plan agreement that will govern the rules and regulations by which the kayak operators must abide. We feel it is important that ALL sides be

heard in these discussions, as this RFP contract will dictate how these businesses will operate in our community for the next few years. The city’s general fund has annually taken in more than $350,000 in business license fees for these kayak businesses and not returned any of this money to improve parking, trash collection and maintaining our beaches in the Shores. We believe this has been a totally one-sided affair, with little attention paid by Lightner’s office toward resolving these issues. Please join us to listen, learn and express your
opinions on how you would like our neighborhood to develop. It is important to have the support and participation of as many of our friends and neighbors as possible. We look forward to seeing you there. Please share this information with anyone you may wish to encourage to attend. Our councilmember must see that this is not just about business dialogue; it is about the future quality of life for all of us who reside in the Shores.

The woman was walking to a parking lot about 8:30 Saturday in the area of La Jolla Village Drive at Executive Way when a man or a teen grabbed her and pulled her into the bushes. The attacker attempted to assault her when she started screaming. Witnesses tried to chase after him, but he escaped. He was described as a Hispanic male with a mustache and wearing a long-sleeved shirt with long-sleeved black and white sleeves, black pants and a black baseball cap. His age and other details were not reported. The police sex crimes unit is investigating. — U-T San Diego

OBITUARIES
Ruth Andersson May 1919 – 2014
Ruth May of Dallas, TX, formerly of La Jolla, passed away June 1, 2014, in Dallas. Ruth, known as “Bumps” to her friends, led a long and fruitful life. She was born March 13, 1919, in Dallas. She was preceded in death by her husband, Lewis L. May Jr.; her parents, Ruth Holmes and Alfred O. Andersson, the founder and publisher of the Dallas Dispatch; and her siblings, Alfred C. Andersson and Alice “Polly” Hudnall. She is survived by three sons, a daughter, and nine grandchildren. Ruth was an alumna of The Hockaday School of Dallas and Scripps College of Claremont. Her interest in art was sparked by Professor Millard Sheets at Scripps College and carried through her life. She was president of the Ski Club. Beginning in WWII, where she served in the Weather Bureau and met her husband, she had a lifelong interest in aviation and remote destinations. The aviation author,
Patrick Dean, noted her great knowledge and experience with transport airplanes and attributes her contributions in his work. Gemstones and minerals became an interest, in which she received recognition as a Gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America. She was an early conservationist. Many years ago in Dallas, she adopted a portion of Harry S. Moss Park, restoring it to its original native grassland state. Her botanical watercolors of Texas wildflowers may be recognized by her distinctive signature embracing her initials in a ram’s head. Ruth was a member of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, the Gemological Institute of America, the Texas chapter of the Colonial Dames of America, both the Founders Garden Club and Dallas Garden Club, and the Dallas Country Club. She was instrumental with the Scripps College Press which publishes literary works. She graced the Cove at La Jolla with her presence at every opportunity, expressing her love of the unique community and the Pacific Ocean. Interment will occur on September 6, 2014, at 11am at Greenwood Memorial Park in San Diego, California. In lieu of flowers, a memorial may be sent to the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, 1700 University Dr., Fort Worth, TX 76107, or to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower
Center, 4801 La Crosse Ave, Austin, TX 78739. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ lajollalight.
Bette Jane Gray 1936 – 2014
Bette Gray passed away on August 11, 2014. She was 78 years of age. She is survived by son, David Phillips. Though stricken with dementia and knowing what it would entail, Bette somehow never lost the very essence of what she must have always been, a loving, smiling beam of joy ready to engage in conversation, mobility and action. Born on January 22, 1936, in Newton, New Jersey, she grew up as an only child in a small town. She lost her father as an adolescent and having only her mother and the quiet of a big, near empty house, most days after school she would stop by the “other” Gray household where a handful of her cousins lived, This household, a constant vortex of youth and energy, came complete with a couple of slightly older teenage
boys who managed not only to include her in their activities of the day but also surely provided her comfort not only as companions but as big brothers she would not otherwise have had. Grateful for an extended family, she and her cousins built friendships that remained connected to the end. After attending Green Mountain College, Bette made her way to New York City where she quickly found work on Park Ave. as an executive secretary. After a year or two, she ran into a man by the name of Bob Phillips. Bob and Bette recognized and remembered each other right away as they had both been in the same elementary school band back in Newton. Mutual attraction led to marriage and son, David. Bob, having gone professional since age 17, was now accepting gigs at Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden and even working in the orchestra pit for “Promises Promises” on Broadway. Alas, conflict lay in wait as the work schedules of both left them with scant time together. Though divorce loomed, they too remained friends for life. Somewhere along the way, Bette and David found themselves in California and while many chapters unfolded, this next one is the one worth telling. The year was 1984 when two souls found each other and the idea of “destiny” became lovely reality. Bette Gray and Clyde Brictson, a grand mythology of two. Here is
a sample: Their ability to remain true to each other, true to the spirit of couple as team and sublime in the ability to celebrate and not sacrifice individualism. Happy Magic. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obitiuaries/ lajollalight.
Patricia Margaret Doty 1922 – 2012
Patricia Doty passed away two years ago on 3 September 2012 in Sun Valley, Los Angeles, CA. She was born 11 January 1922 in Lynn, MA, to William F. Hooley and Florence A. (Curtis) Hooley. With an older and a younger brother, the family lived for a while in Swampscott, MA. In 1930, the family moved to Portsmouth, OH. She graduated from Holy Redeemer High School there in 1940. After a brief, prankprone stint at college, she parlayed her acting ability into radio, working first in New York City, and then at WPAY in Portsmouth as program director from 1943 to 1946. Patricia married Lucien M. Doty Jr. in Portsmouth

on 15 February 1946 and started raising a family. They resided first in Seattle, WA, and then in Madison, WI, where she started and hosted a TV informational show for women in 1954. The family then moved to Southern California and took up residence in La Jolla beginning in 1955. They built a house in what was then a new development, The Muirlands. She worked as a publicist for the La Jolla Playhouse, rubbing shoulders with Mel Ferrer, Gregory Peck, John Kerr, Eartha Kitt, and Jeanne Cooper. After her marriage ended in 1969, she moved to Los Angeles, eventually finding work as publicist for the Hollywood Palladium where, among other duties, she warmed up the audience for the Lawrence Welk Show. She also was an assistant to Lainie Kazan before becoming an actors’ agent. After retiring, she moved back to San Diego and worked for the Jonas Salk Institute and organized the first Symphony for Salk fundraiser. Needing to be nearer to her grown children, she moved back to Los Angeles in 2002. Patricia is survived by her daughter, Patricia Ann Doty of Grants Pass, OR, and her son, Lucien Michael Doty of Oxnard, CA. All who knew her remember her strong will and incredible sense of humor. Her remains were cremated. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ lajollalight.

PREP FOOTBALL: La Jolla High School Vikings 64, La Jolla Country Day School Torreys 19
Torreys host Football Alumni Night at first game against Vikings By James L. Lambert a Jolla Country Day School’s Head Coach Tyler Hales and his Torreys’ coaching staff invited past members of the La Jolla Country Day football team to help celebrate the school’s first “Football Alumni Appreciation Night” on Aug. 29. The event coincided with the school’s season opener against La Jolla High School. The game was also a first in that Country Day School has never played a varsity football match against their regional rival: La Jolla High Vikings. But first, a little history. La Jolla Country Day’s football program dates back to the 1962 season when the team was coached by Bob Guess, Leonard Macatee and Jack Wigley. Back then the highest grade in the school was the junior class, which only held 18 boys. The size of the school’s other classes was similar. In 1968, Country Day won the school’s first Southern League title. For the student body and the school’s athletic department, it was a momentous event. Then-coach John Fahey (now a semi-retired Catholic priest) remembers it as a very happy time in his life. He recalls being held up on his players’ shoulders after the team won their final game. Team co-captains that year (Jon Grout and Rob Hagey) have equally warm feelings about the season. Hagey, best known for his “Street Scene” concert venues in San Diego, said the football season was an important and very positive part of his senior year. Grout, now an independent insurance agent, said the championship “was very rewarding … when you consider a lot of us played both offense and defense.” John Meanley (Class of 1967), who also attended the alumni celebration last Friday, said playing football “added a whole new dimension to the Country Day experience. It was a valuable team endeavor that brought us all together.” John is the son of the former owner of the Meanley’s Home Store

Day’s campus and football field has undergone major transformations. The original football field was located next to a live Marine Corps firing range from Camp Matthews (only separated by a large protective mound built by the Marine Corps). Back then, the current football field was an undeveloped piece of land and University Towne Center (now Westfield Mall) was covered with sagebrush. There were no other buildings in the area except for the main campus of the school. Today, the only building that still remains from those days is the old school gym that was donated in the mid-1960s by James Copley (then-owner of the San Diego Union-Tribune). His two children, Michael and Janice, attended the school. The boy’s (and football team’s) locker room in the rear of that building is still being used by the Country Day squad. Country Day’s opponent last Friday, has an even longer school football history. La Jolla High school is one of San Diego’s oldest schools dating back to 1922. Its football program is at least 70 years old, according to vice principal Will Hawthorne. The football field (dedicated to popular former coach Gene Edwards) dates back to the 1930s. Presently, La Jolla High and The Bishop’s School share the field during the regular season. Now, about Friday’s game. It started with Country Day scoring the game’s first touchdown. From there on it was all La Jolla High. The Vikings won a resounding victory (64-19) in a game that was both schools’ first meeting — ever. It appears that the Vikings should have a solid season this year. The school last won a CIF title in 1994. Perhaps this will be the year the Vikings’ squad can make it into the CIF playoffs? Only time will tell. u — James L. Lambert is an author and television host. 16AmazingStories.com and JamesLLambert.com

eigh Hartman of Bird Rock has been named 2014-15 Chair of the San Diego Women’s Foundation. She joined the Foundation in 2006 and has been an active member ever since. Leigh is a 1995 LEAD San Diego graduate and a past president of National Charity League. Her volunteer experience includes leadership positions throughout the Episcopal community, Bird Rock Elementary and Muirlands Middle School PTAs, La Jolla Village Garden Club and St. Germaine Auxiliary. A former clinical laboratory scientist who spent more than Leigh Hartman 15 years in Clinical Lab Medicine for Mercy Hospital (retiring in 2005 from Children’s Hospital where she was the coordinator of The Brain and Tissue Bank for Developmental Disorder), Leigh holds a BS degree in microbiology from Arizona State University and a certificate in fundraising and development from UC San Diego Extension. What brought you to La Jolla? My husband Stan and I were raised in Phoenix and summered in San Diego. When he returned from Vietnam, we got married and “escaped” in 1970 to beautiful San Diego, living in Mission Beach and Pacific Beach. We moved to the Bird Rock area in 1984. We loved the “Beaver Cleaver” feel of the neighborhood with walkable sidewalks and the ease of our children finding friends to play with nearby. The neighborhood has just gotten better and better with real village charm, shops and restaurants — all within walking distance of our home.

Massive grape vines grow on Shores house
T
he southern side of Rob Whittemore and Cynthia Bond’s beachfront home in La Jolla Shores became a mini-vineyard this summer, after three grapevines Bond planted several years ago grew beyond expectations. They had always stayed small, Bond said, but this summer the wine grape vines grew full enough to cover almost the entire side of their home and commingled with other plants, like the bougainvillea already there. With the explosive vines came an influx of grapes. The couple recently had a mass harvest of all the clusters they could grab, and have already made several jars of jelly and jugs of juice. u

What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would renew infrastructure … water, sewer, newly-paved roads without potholes. I would also have public schools where every child is valued and given opportunities to succeed.

uneven terrain.
La Jolla Cultural Partners
n May, I received the following e-mail from some friends who were doing a driving tour of Israel: “We are thinking about going to the Timna Valley tomorrow to look at the Neolithic copper mines. Totally not sure about it — 100-plus degree heat, potentially getting lost in the desert — but it could be something fun to tell the grandkids about at Thanksgiving dinner over the years.” I immediately e-mailed back. Go, or don’t go, but not for the grandkids. No idea where this myth started. I guarantee that every time you start to tell the story, one of them will whine, “Not the Neolithic copper mine story again, grandma! We, like, DON’T FRIGGIN’ CARE!” Olof and I heard this “something to tell your grandchildren” line a lot from American friends we met during our twoyear work assignment in Europe a few years ago. Many of them were coaxing us to join them on a post-Christmas excursion to the Arctic Circle to stay in the Ice Hotel in combination with a dogsledding trip. When they came back, stories of misery and injury abounded. Spending a night in the Ice Hotel is apparently on a famous list of 100 Things You Have to Do Before You Die. I can only
wonder: do the other 99 require this much suffering? As its name implies, the Ice Hotel is built yearly entirely out of ice, including the beds. Sleeping on a block of ice in a 23-degree room is apparently just as comfortable as it sounds. Our friends Laurel and Greg reported there were definitely not enough reindeer skins (used for padding) on theirs. Mostly you lie on your block of ice in your claustrophobic full body sleeping bag counting the hours until you can get up and leave. The bathroom and dining facilities, for obvious reasons, are in another building — OUTSIDE of yours, which means leaving the relative warmth of your 23-degree room and traipsing out into the minus-15 below (or colder) temperatures. The price tag for this misery: $500 a night. Immediately after telling you that it was positively the worst night they ever spent, childbirth was more fun, the next words out of their mouths were invariably, “But you have to go!” “Um,” we said, “didn’t you just say ...” “Oh, yes,” they continue, “it was absolutely horrible. But you’ll be able to tell your grandchildren.” As for the dogsledding part of the trip,
own four-dog sled team — over very everyone agreed on one thing: Do the Ice Hotel on the first night, so that you have a warm comfy place for your broken dogsled body to sleep on the second night. On Laurel’s dog sled tour, each person had to drive his or her own four-dog sled team — over very uneven terrain. Laurel said the balance was really tricky: you stood on a board on the back of the dogsled, your soon-paralyzed arms in a death grip on the hand rail in minus-22 degree temperatures. The dogs wanted to go a lot faster than Laurel wanted to go and the tour guide had to finally admonish her to stop riding the brake; it was annoying the dogs. Laurel kept losing her balance on the curves and falling off the sled into the snow. She reported amazing bruises, including one on her rear, which she said was an exact replica of Abraham Lincoln. She hoped to eventually regain full use of her shoulders. Unlike Laurel, Janice and her husband were the only two passengers on a sixperson 12-dog sled driven by a professional dog sled driver. However, from time to time (like every two minutes) the sled would go over some truly treacherous topography and they would barely escape
being thrown from the sled. Eventually, they hit a mogul so deep that Janice was ejected out of the sled and landed head first in a snow bank. Boding ill for her marriage, her husband thought it was the highlight of the trip. If only he had caught this on tape, he said, they would have been a lock for the $10,000 grand prize on “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” If you want my guess for someone who didn’t get any for a long time after, this was the guy. From there, they checked into the Ice Hotel for a night of sleepless frozen pain. Worst night she ever spent, said Janice. But, she insisted, Olof and I just had to go. The tell-your-grandchildren thing again. We were already clear “grandchildren” was a code word for “abject misery.” Our friends did go to the Neolithic copper mines, didn’t get lost in the desert, and loved every minute of it except for the blistering 110-degree heat. But they’ve decided not to share it with the grandkids. Didn’t sound nearly miserable enough to qualify anyway. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light.

Ceviche de Acapulco consists of mahi mahi marinated in lime juice.
Mexican street food in the Village? Yep! By Kelley Carlson n the two years since Puesto established roots in La Jolla, it has branched out with a downtown location and blossomed into an award-winning establishment. Most recently, owners Eric Adler, Alan Adler and Isi Lombrozo have modified the original La Jolla restaurant, which includes an expansion of dining space, a full bar and new menu offerings — much of it based on Puesto at The Headquarters in San Diego. “I couldn’t be happier to expand our vision for Puesto and provide our loyal customers with the opportunity to enjoy what we’ve created downtown right in La Jolla,” Eric Adler said. Whereas the La Jolla location previously had been a casual stopping point for street tacos, the revamped version now includes a bar — with jugs of house-made sangria hanging overhead — and seating for a full dining experience. Patrons can begin their visit with “antojitos,” or Mexican snacks. Among the choices — the Crab Guacamole or Ceviche de Acapulco with mahi mahi marinated in lime juice. Either can be enjoyed as served or as dips with a basket of chips. Entrees range from Barbacoa Short Ribs to the Carnitas Chilaquiles. But the tacos — which feature Puesto’s signature crispy melted cheese and housemade tortillas — continue to be the center of attention. The unique ingredient combinations appeal to a range of tastes, and it’s difficult to order just one variety. There’s the crowd-pleasing Filet Mignon Taco with avocado and spicy pistachio
I Puesto is best known for its gourmet-style street tacos, which includes varieties such as Baja Fish, Filet Mignon, Zucchini & Cactus, and Mahi Mahi.

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:
Puesto Perfect Margarita
jalapeño salsa; the Mahi Mahi Taco with sweet corn, toasted almonds, lettuce, avocado, cilantro and jalapeño peanut sauce; Baja Fish Taco, which goes beyond traditional with crispy wild cod, cabbage, avocado, tomato, chile crema and tomatillo
roja salsa; and the sweet-and-spicy Grilled Shrimp Taco, stuffed with epazole jasmine rice, tinga (hibiscus and chipotle), avocado, mango and habañero. Vegetarians will appreciate the succulent Zucchini & Cactus Taco, and the Potato Soy Chorizo Taco, accented with tinga, avocado and tomatillo roja. Puesto even has a “secret” taco: The California is a variation of the California Burrito with filet, potato, salsa and guacamole. To supplement the tacos, there are sides such as Esquite, a flavorful medley of grilled corn, chile, lime, queso and crema; and zesty Charro Beans. Patrons often have a tough time resisting the Buñuelo Ice Cream Sandwich: tortillas lightly fried and dusted with cinnamon and sugar, vanilla ice cream in between, and coconut chocolate drizzled over the top. Along with new foods, there are also new drinks. The signature is the Puesto Perfect Margarita, a simple blend of tequila, lime and agave. For something equally authentic, there’s the smoky Desperado, a sipping cocktail with mescal, carpano antica, dry curacao and walnut bitters. A selection of local and Mexican beers, and several California wines on tap are also available. Although Puesto now offers full-service dining, there’s still a taco line for guests on the go, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. A head’s up for Taco Tuesday fanatics: Bar manager Will Van Leuven recommends making reservations as early as possible. The demand is high for $2 tacos and $3 Dos Equis, especially at dinner time. u

live oil has been dubbed the hearthealthy king of its class, making the Mediterranean diet a global role model. Coconut oil beats the heat like no other fat, has a long shelf life maintaining its integrity for several months while putting the skids on cholesterol. Avocado oil — a blend of monounsaturated, saturated and polyunsaturated fats — has a variety of uses from sautéing to marinades and dressings. Flax oil, a plant-based Omega-3 powerhouse is the vegan answer to fish oil. Peanut oil is superb for deep-frying, while black or white truffle is a divine finishing oil. But the new rock star of the oil world is organic, red-palm fruit. Here’s why.
Everything old is new again Red-palm fruit oil has been revered for its healthful properties by ancient peoples for 5,000 years. Food folklorists have also noted that this magnificent oil (a stunning eye candy worshipped by Egyptian pharaohs as a sacred healing food), may have been entombed in their sarcophagi so they could
enjoy the precious nutrient in the afterlife.
The perks of palm With its rich amber hue, nutrient-dense red palm oil adds a motherlode of antioxidants to amp up ocular, skin and cellular health, bone metabolism and the immune system. It is one of the highest plant-based oil sources of Vitamin A, including alpha- and beta-carotenes, lycopenes and a mighty form of natural Vitamin E called alpha tocotrienol. The latter has been linked to protecting the brain’s nerve cells and dialing up blood flow, lessening the effect of strokes and degenerative diseases, while also acting as a mighty warrior against certain cancers from skin to prostate. In addition, the orangey oil is packed with “medium-chain” and “short-chain” fatty acids, such as monounsaturated omega-9s to mitigate cardiovascular disease and high cholesterol with its antiinflammatory properties and ability to remove plaque accumulation in the arteries. There’s more. A fountain of youth fat, this superfood has been found to decelerate premature aging by its protective effect against harmful UV rays.

While the former is derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree, the latter is extracted from the seed or the kernel of the plant with a whopping 89 percent saturated fat content without the full load of antioxidants and other phytonutrients. Alas, this doppelganger is responsible for creating a stigma for its virtuous cousin, accounting for one of the worst miscon-

Going ape Red-palm oil critics have sustainable bones to pick with the crop. Unfortunately, it has been linked to tinkering with rainforest and orangutan habitats in Asia. However, the organic fruit grown and harvested in parts of Malaysia and Ecuador is sustainable, and does not cause deforestation or any other habitat destruction (especially since the mighty mammals don’t live in South America). u n For additional healthy recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

The evening’s festivities will include cocktails and silent auction at 5:30 p.m., with dinner following at 7 p.m. There will also be a presentation, “Sharing Julia Child’s Appetite for Life,” by Noël Riley Fitch, who wrote the first authorized biography on Child. A culinary icon, Child is credited with Geisel Library at UCSD Courtesy bringing French cuisine to the American public with her cooking shows and famous cookbook, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” Thanks to a generous gift from the American Institute of Wine & Food (AIWF), a national organization founded by Child and Robert Mondavi, the UC San Diego Library is home to the AIWF’s Culinary Collection, which includes more than 6,500 volumes and other food and wine-related materials dating back to the 17th century. As part of the evening, Dorothy Gregor will be honored with the 2014 Geisel Citation for Library Philanthropy. Gregor has played an integral role in the growth and success of the UCSD Library.

La Jolla Playhouse
Visit ‘Kingdom City’ where censorship and culture clash By Diana Saenger In “Kingdom City,” premiering Sept. 4-Oct. 5 at La Jolla Playhouse, the playbill proclaims “A 20th century classic incites a 21st century showdown.” When displaced New York director Miriam finds herself in Kingdom City, Missouri, she reluctantly agrees to direct a high school production of “The Crucible.” As the students fall deeper into their roles, the play unlocks their own unspoken desires, creating a firestorm in this small, predominantly Christian town. Written by Sheri Wilner and directed by Jackson Gay, “Kingdom City” stars husband and wife Todd Weeks (Daniel) and Kate Blumberg (Miriam). “Kate had the audition first, so I went with her to New York and found myself interested in the play,” Weeks said. “I thought it had a good part for me, too, and I realized I worked with the director, Jackson Gay, before. We rooted for each other to get the part, and it happened.” Blumberg said she sees the play’s message as questioning how much the outside world should interfere with personal decisions. “Exactly how much do you want to shelter teenagers?” she asked. “That’s an open discussion for plays like this — ‘The Crucible,’ ‘Grease’ and ‘Rent.’ These plays deal with the elephant in the room in regard to things that teenagers have to face at their age like drugs, sex and rock ‘n roll, so to speak. There’s a lot of therapy in plays and productions. They are venues in high school for teenagers to be able to involve themselves, and maybe talk about issues they can’t talk about at home. “This play really spoke to me, especially the discussion of how much we should acknowledge what education should be, and in allowing educators to do their jobs.

If they want religion, go to a school that focuses on that. Otherwise, go to a school that embraces it all.” Weeks agreed. “I love this play. I grew up in North Carolina and Florida where there was a very strong conservative Christian religious community. I would often experience other churches with friends, but now I’m Jewish. So in regards to this play, I feel like I have my foot in both worlds. “Kate and I have two little girls, so the play is speaking to me. Whether you’re on the artistic, educational side or the religious side, it’s complicated. Both sides are trying to do what’s best in their minds for the kids. I like that both sides are trying to leave a positive mark in the world and help other people — they’re just coming about it
through different points of view.” Weeks’s character Daniel is a writer who has an early triumph when his short story wins an O. Henry Award. Now he has pressure to expand it into a novel. “Daniel has ascended the ladder of success but finds himself stuck and almost paralyzed,” Weeks said. “He’s afraid of letting people down and not fulfilling the expectations that have been placed on him.” Of her character, Blumberg says, “Miriam claims by trade to be a theater director, but she’s never had the opportunity to direct a play. When she gets the opportunity at a high school in a Midwest town, it’s not for the excitement of the process of directing, it’s more about making a point about doing the play she wants to do, which the school does not want. Eventually, she gets lost in

that process and has to face her inner demons — her fears of failing as a director.” The couple is excited to work with director Gay. “She’s fantastic and a director that allows an actor do what he or she wants to do — take big risks, or fail if need be,” Weeks said. “She’s supportive, clear, firm and encouraging at the same time.” The creative team for “Kingdom City” includes Playhouse Artist-in-Residence scenic designer Robert Brill, costume designer David Reynoso, lighting designer Paul Whitaker, sound designer Nick Drashner and dramaturg Gabriel Greene.

Martin/Brickell musical ‘Bright Star’ to shine on Globe stage By Diana Saenger Excitement rocketed like a streak of lightning through The Old Globe rehearsal hall last week as actor, author, composer Steve Martin and singer/songwriter Edie Brickell showed up to tout the premiere of their musical “Bright Star.” “We’re here for a sneak preview of the show,” said Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. “The score is new, the story is new, and we’ve been involved with the project for a little over two years now, since Steve Martin told me about this extraordinary collaboration with Edie Brickell, another giant in this business.” Although they knew each other for 20 years, it wasn’t until Martin (“Picasso at the Lapin”) and Brickell (“Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars”) ran into each other at a function that she told him she would love to write songs for him. He played her a tune; she wrote a vocal. He liked it so well he sent her more tunes, and eventually they had a 13-song bluegrass album, “Love Has Come For You.” At the 2014 Grammy Awards, the title track won for Best American Roots Song. “We discussed how much we love the musicals we came up with,” Martin said. “We had affection for those melodies and confidence in them. We just needed a story.” Brickell happened to come across a 100-year-old newspaper article that sparked the idea for the story of “Bright Star,” so she and Martin began to work on the 25 songs in the play.
Left: Edie Brickell and Steve Martin talk to the media about their new musical. Right: A radio announcer (Scott Wakefield) looks on as returning WWII soldier A.J. (Billy Cane) speaks to his mother in ‘Bright Star.’ Photos by Diana Saenger The action takes place in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina between 1923 and 1945. Billy Cane (A.J. Shively), a young soldier just back from World War II, is happy he’s home. When he meets Alice Murphy (Carmen Cusack), the editor of a southern literary journal, a powerful secret changes their lives. Martin, excited about his Globe collaborators, said, “We are working with the A-Team — Walter (Bobbie, director), Rob (Berman, musical director), Josh (Rhodes, choreographer) — and the cast and crew in this place are

wonderful. The Old Globe has been such a rich experience. Along with Barry’s contribution and energy, the backstage people are so talented and great.” Brickell added, “We love working at The Old Globe. It has elevated everything we brought in. It’s opened new doors in the world that shocks and thrills me.” Rhodes — whose choreography was so fun to watch — calls the musical a rather interesting piece. “It’s very funny and the style of music moves around as it navigates our lives between who our parents want us to be and who we want to be. As a metaphor, there is the bright beacon of a star that helps us find our own Bright Star.” Treated to snippets of a few scenes, the story and music was enticing. When a radio announcer (Scott Wakefield) says in a booming voice, “Folks, we got us a young soldier just back from victory, who wants to say hello to his mama in Hayes Creek,” one instantly feels the era. The face of Billy Cane is jubilant as he addresses his mother, “Hey mama, it’s your
boy, Billy,” he says. “I know you’re listening cause you always are. I know what I want to do now that I’m home, and I can’t wait to tell you.” Cut to another scene where two of Alice Murphy’s co-workers are inviting her to go bowling. She declines, even when told soldiers returning from war are asking about her. “All they want to do is swing dance, and I don’t know how,” she says, and then she breaks into a beautiful song, “Way Back in the Day.” Every heartfelt word tells the story of pain and loss. When she starts to move in her memory, someone gently slips the shoes off her heels as she steps, then sails, across the stage into a white dress. It’s a magical moment in what promises to be one of many in this show. u n IF YOU GO: “Bright Star” runs Sept. 13Nov. 2 at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

There are at three different types of stress, all of which carry physical and mental health risks. True. 1) Routine stress related to the pressures of work, family and other daily responsibilities. 2) Stress brought about by a sudden negative change — losing a job, divorce, or illness. 3) Traumatic stress, experienced in an event like a major accident, war, assault, or a natural disaster where one may be in danger of being killed. The body responds to each type in similar ways. Some people experience digestive symptoms, while others may have headaches, sleeplessness, depressed mood, anger and irritability. People under chronic stress are prone to more frequent and severe viral infections, such as the flu or common cold. Over time, continued strain on your body from routine stress may lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, anxiety disorders and other illnesses. Take time to unwind. It’s healthy to relax, renew, and rejuvenate. Find coping tips at the National Institute of Mental Health website: nimh.nih.gov u

La Jollan writes booklet about San Diego River By Ashley Mackin Marly Isler, a La Jolla native and granddaughter of community volunteers Jane and Tom Fetter, has published a booklet about the San Diego River, the 52-mile long waterway spanning Santa Ysabel in east county to Ocean Beach. “A Brief Walk Along the San Diego River” chronicles the birds, animals, insects and plants one would find along the way. Originally a community service project during her time at Francis Parker School, the publication is now available through the San Diego River Park Foundation. “I have grown up in San Diego my whole life, so this was a great way for me to learn a lot more about the animals and plants of my native city,” said Isler, currently a co-ed at Yale. “I am incredibly happy with how it turned out.” Rob Hutsel, executive director and cofounder of the San Diego River Park Foundation, said Marly’s booklet will enrich the experiences for the many families who visit the area. “At the San Diego River Park Foundation, we work to create opportunities for the emotional connections to our historic River that allow the sense of wonder to come alive, forge lifelong love of the outdoors, and foster stewardship of the San Diego River.” The booklet is available for free download at SanDiegoRiver.org and click on “About Us” and “Online Info Center.” u

Is San diego Summer driving dangerous? We all know that San Diego has glorious, year-round sunshine that makes America’s Finest City truly one of the best areas to live in the nation. And while we have nothing to worry about when it comes to summer rain, driving is nonetheless slightly more dangerous in the summer months.
increased foot traffic and always approach crosswalks and bike lanes with caution.
Consider the following summer scenarios: More teens on the road. Now that school is out, you can expect more teen drivers on San Diego roadways. Unlike experienced drivers, teens are still getting the hang of driving. And like any new skill, perfecting one’s expertise is a matter of trial and error. Unfortunately, in some cases, some errors result in car accidents. Increase in pedestrians and bicyclists. The summer sun often draws people out of hibernation – of course, with the great San Diego weather, who could blame them? As a pedestrian or bicyclist, it’s important to remember to use all the crosswalks and designated lanes when traveling by foot. As a driver, be aware of
Uptick in vacationers. San Diego is known as a summer holiday destination. An increase in vacationers means an increase in potential accidents on the road. Vacationers have little working knowledge of the San Diego area. Driving is often slower and evasive turns and lane changes can also occur due to the unfamiliarity of city driving. Locals are urged to be cautious when traveling, especially when navigating city streets. Effects of sun on rubber surfaces. The sweltering sun is no match against rubber materials that can easily deteriorate and crumble in the hot summer air. Tires, windshield wipers, some bumpers and interior engine parts and belts
can corrode in the summer. Be careful; always keep your vehicle updated when it comes to maintenance. It may also be a good idea to check your vehicle at the beginning of each season (that means now!) Increased shoulder use. It’s no secret that summer months bring warm weather. But even a few degrees more can spell disaster for vehicle coolants, radiators and oil. When cars overheat, drivers must pull over for help. Shoulders and merging lanes can often become congested as a result. Avoid a rear-end car accident and be cautious of increased shoulder use this summer. As we officially usher in the summer season this month, let’s welcome the season safely. Here’s to a happy and injury-free summer season.

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.

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.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid.
