Tarnishing Our Jewel
New feature to spotlight blighted areas in La Jolla By Sarah Lowrey La Jolla Resident
A
Though it is still 10 months away, more than two dozen doctors, lawyers, bankers, architects and other professionals belonging to the Torrey Pines of La Jolla Rotary Club are gearing up for their golden moment — the club’s upcoming 50th anniversary celebration, June 30, 2014. “Over the past 50 years, we’ve had hundreds of the most dynamic, giving, and personable members you’re going to meet anyplace in Southern California,” said club president Gordon Shurtleff, who has visited almost 230 other Rotary clubs in 11 states and four countries in the past 43 years.
Sarah Lowrey
fter reading several writeups on the littering, overflowing garbage cans and cracked sidewalks in the La Jolla Light, I’d like to propose a new feature for your paper: Tarnishing Our Jewel. It would be great! What’s better than public humiliation to get people to clean up their acts? Here’s your first feature: the state of the pavement and concrete on Marine and Cuvier Streets. I have written to the city several times to request that the serious cracks and fissures be fixed (photo at left), only to be assured that “Cuvier Street is on hold for an underground utility project” (that the resident engineer knows nothing about)
and “Marine Street is currently being evaluated for permanent repairs” (that haven’t taken place during my two years living here). Not only are these streets serious eyesores, they are bicycle and pedestrian accidents waiting to happen! Let’s call the city and other offenders out to clean up our Village. Editor’s Note: Here we go! Fellow La Jollans, for this new feature to work, we need citizen journalists to send us the leads and we will go after the perpetrators! Just e-mail the scenarios and attach a photo, or call us and we’ll investigate who or what is Tarnishing Our Jewel! Reach Editor Susan DeMaggio at (858) 875-5950 or susandemaggio@lajollalight.com

Top tier university ■ Shanghai Jiao Tong University recently ranked UC San Diego 14th best university in the world, while Washington Monthly magazine soon after dubbed the university No. 1 in the nation (a nod it has received since 2010). ■ The median GPA for incoming freshman at UCSD is 4.06. “If I were to apply today, I would not get in,” quipped UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla.
in this country.” Fast forward to 2010 and beyond. “The wealth is not being distributed evenly and there is a bigger divide now between the rich and the poor,” Khosla said, adding that the smaller the middle class, the closer the U.S. moves toward becoming a third-world country. “It’s going to take decades,” Khosla said, “but I think we are on that trajectory — and I think the American public university has an obligation to make sure that we don’t go down that path. … “That means that I have to focus a lot on raising money for scholarships and making sure that this education is accessible and affordable to one and all — the rich, the middle class and the poor, and that is not a simple challenge.” Role of a public university Though UCSD remains a public university, Khosla said many schools in the UC system are increasingly regarded as private institutions, “for all intents and purposes.” UCSD’s revenues are about $3.6 billion per year. However, it only receives $250 million from the state to educate nearly 30,000

By Pat Sherman UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep Khosla delivered some sobering statistics during the Aug. 20 meeting of the Rotary Club of La Jolla: the annual cost for a UCSD student living on campus is about $40,000. Meanwhile, the median income for a family of four in the United States is just $45,000. “That is really a problem facing American higher education right now,” Khosla said, noting that as the cost of education continues to soar, “the number of people who cannot afford it without taking out too much in loans is going down.” Though education costs are rising faster than inflation, Khosla said the real culprit is the decline of the American middle class. While research institutes such as UCSD were evolving over the past five decades — initially spurred by the need for more lab research during World War II —the country and economy benefited from their contributions tremendously, Khosla said. “When we were busy generating all this wealth to make everybody’s life better, the best thing was that this wealth was distributed reasonably evenly,” he said. “That means the middle class was growing

DERMAPEN Former FBI special agent Keith Slotter (left) and TV personality Lynn Stuart will host a presentation on how real life crime compares to what is presented on TV during a lunch hosted jointly by the Rotary Club of La Jolla and Kiwanis Club of La Jolla, noon Sept. 12. Tickets are $27. students and pay some 15,000 employees. “People tell me, ‘Only 6 percent of your budget comes from the state; why are you (considered) a public university?’” Khosla said. However, he said being labeled a public university is not only about how much money UCSD receives from the state, but “what it perceives its mission to be.” To that end, Khosla said UCSD is focused on ways to better serve the public, and increase access to higher education. “If you look at our student body, we don’t have enough Latinos and we don’t have enough African Americans,” he said. “I’m not saying there has to be a 1-to-1 (ratio), but there has to be a critical mass so that every student, when he or she attends UC San Diego feels like they belong — they see the role models … they see a community out there of similar thinkers and similar backgrounds.” To boost access to higher education in the region, Khosla and UCSD have taken three schools from disadvantaged areas under their wing, providing free tuition to students who apply and meet admission guidelines (part of UCSD’s participation in the Achieve UC program). So far, 45 first-generation college students have been admitted from these schools, Khosla said. “For me, as chancellor, one of my biggest challenges is to make sure that the public university does not become an elitist university, where only people who can afford to pay can come,” he said. “It should be an elite university for the pubic.” Khosla said another challenge will be to increase a sense of connection to the university for current students and alumni, the latter of which contributed only 2 percent to the $1 billion capital campaign spearheaded by former chancellor Marye Anne Fox (the national average contribution to university fundraising campaigns by alumni is 50 percent). Asked by a Rotarian to comment on the college admissions process for high school students and their families, Khosla said, “It creates more turmoil than it needs to.” The number of applications universities receive across the nation has risen markedly. “It’s not that the number of college-(bound) students in the is country went up,” Khosla said. “What’s happening is the same kid is applying to 20 colleges instead of five, and

However, he noted, “It’s also the most difficult to maintain because the feds don’t want to fund it. … The Republicans think this research is making people too liberal. The liberal people think that this research is trying to make people more conservative — and that’s not really a good way to think about research. “Seeking the truth should be independent of whether you like the answer or not.”

Parks and Beaches By Ashley Mackin At the Aug. 26 La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) meeting, Children’s Pool was the center of attention. City Park & Recreation Department District Manager Dan Daneri explained the legalities involved with any beach cleaning at the Pool and LJP&B Chair Dan Allen read a response to the group’s suggested guidelines for the Seal Cam stationed there (currently in storage). Later, Phyllis Minnick provided an update about her fundraising efforts for the
n Wrack cleanup Daneri came to the meeting to address reports he’s received about the “wrack” at Children’s Pool. (Wrack is described as anything that washes up on shore; in this case, lots of kelp that is drawing sand flies to the beach.) He told La Jolla Light that historically, lifeguards would rake the wrack off the beach as part of their duties, but that is no longer the policy. It is now the responsibility of Park and Rec employees to collect the wrack with tractors and load it into a dump truck at beaches where a Coastal Development Permit is not required and the wrack is accessible to their equipment, such

However, at Children’s Pool, the city equipment cannot access the wrack and private citizens are not allowed to remove it without a Coastal Development Permit as required by the California Coastal Commission. Daneri said he would report any updates regarding wrack removal from the Coastal Commission at the next LJP&B meeting. n City responses At a previous meeting, LJP&B voted to send a letter to the city suggesting guidelines for the live streaming Seal Cam at Children’s Pool, based on subcommittee concerns that the camera is being “misused” by aiming it at humans and areas of the beach where there are no seals. The letter contained eight guidelines for camera operators. Though the camera has temporarily been taken down (due to the lifeguard tower construction), the letter was sent

anticipating its reinstallation. Allen said he determined that the appropriate department for the letter was the lifeguard service, so he sent it along with photos of camera “misuse.” The lifeguards’ response indicated they are considering guidelines for camera operations and “would be happy to consider” LJP&B’s suggestions. Responding to requests from LJP&B about the stench cleanup at the Cove, Allen said he received a note from Councilmember Lightner’s office indicating the second phase of the Cove cleanup is scheduled for early September. The message, which Allen read aloud, reported that Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists have been observing the area every few days for nesting birds. Once the biologists confirm that the nesting period is over, the second round of cleanup will begin. See Parks and Beaches, A11

Over 55? Prop 60/90 What you should know.
If you are over 55yrs and selling your primary residence that you have owned for a number of years, you may be able to take that lower property tax rate to your new home! There are a few rules, as always when you are talking about money to be saved. Check with your CPA and actually call the Tax assessor's office at 619-531-6175. You can also look up all the details at www.SDARCC.com. You will need to get the exemption form from the Tax assessor anyway to process this savings. In general, here are some of the rules to see if you might qualify for this program: 1. The new replacement property must be of equal or lesser value than what you are selling. 2. This is a one time only benefit. You must be at least 55yrs and it must be your primary home. 3. Proposition 60 was designed for replacing your residence within the same county. Proposition 90 allows you to move to a few other counties that have been participating in the program. At last check - they are: Alameda, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Clara, El Dorado, Orange, San Mateo and Ventura.

Renting out your home?
Residential rentals require collection of occupancy and tourism taxes By Ashley Mackin Residential rental websites like AirBandB.com, FlipKey.com and HomeAway.com make it easy for La Jollans to rent their seaside homes or apartments to out-oftown guests. There are more than 100 listings in La Jolla on AirBandB and nearly 200 on FlipKey, where homeowners describe rentable rooms and residences with the price they want for one day or one month. Seemingly simple, but some neighbors are asking if these property owners are following the letter of the law? Specifically, three letters: T.O.T. All residential rentals are subject to the same San Diego Transient Occupancy Tax (T.O.T.) and Tourism and Marketing District (T.M.D.) assessments imposed on hotels. The city treasurer’s office is the department responsible for administering and collecting these taxes. Property owners who list on residential rental sites must obtain a T.O.T. Certificate Number for their property, according to the city treasurer’s office, so that the department can expect assessments.
The amount due would reflect how long the property was rented during a given time. Tess Morton, a spokesperson for FlipKey.com explained its policy. “Each owner and/or property manager is responsible for keeping
themselves up-to-date and educated on the local laws in their community, as it relates to short-term rentals and taxes,” she told La Jolla Light. “FlipKey provides a specific field for the owner and/or property manager to input the tax rate, which is

disclosed in the rates section on the site across all of the listings.” Several property managers, who’ve listed homes, include and identify T.O.T. in the rental fees. All “hotels” in the city of San Diego must pay T.O.T. assessments
based on the number of rooms. Hotels with less than 29 rooms must pay 10.5 percent for T.O.T. and 0.55 percent of assessable rent for T.M.D. fees. Per the City of San Diego’s municipal code, “any structure or any portion of any structure. which is occupied or intended or designed for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging, or sleeping purposes, and is held out as such to the public” is subject to T.O.T. fees. One notable exemption, however, is, “when the transient has exercised occupancy or was entitled to occupancy for one month or more.” Should a property owner list and collect money on a rental without a T.O.T. Certificate, they could become subject to an audit, at which point penalties may incur. The city treasurer’s office said the penalty amount is determined on a case-by-case basis by the person or group performing the audit. The application for a T.O.T. Certificate Number can be found at sandiego.gov/treasurer/pdf/ tr172.pdf

Are you safe?
Police officer shares security tips with community By Susan DeMaggio Lights! Camera! Action! That’s what homeowners need to defend against crime, said Community Relations Officer Larry Hesselgesser to the group who gathered at the La Jolla Community Center Aug. 28 to hear his presentation on safety precautions. Lights — to indicate someone’s home and illuminate entrances, yards and driveways; Cameras — to survey surroundings and record trespassers; Action — to take personal safety matters into their own hands. “Think security!” he urged. “Role play! To deter burglars, walk your property, think, ‘how do I get in?’ and then make sure your doors and windows lock and you follow the two-inch rule: use a bar or pole to prevent them from opening more than two inches wide.” Hesselgessel said Northern Division (Pacific Beach, La Jolla and Clairemont) is experiencing about six home burglaries a week. Most home burglaries happen during the day and car break-ins at night. The perpetrators are looking for guns, cash and jewelry — usually for drug money to buy their next fix, he said. “They’ll look in your windows to see what you’ve got and what’s the perfect way to get in and out without being seen. So make it look like you’re home, that you’ve got a dog (put a big water dish out
Larry Hesselgesser SDPD Northern Division ■ Phone: (858) 552-1631 ■ E-mail: lhesselgesser@ pd.sandiego.gov in the yard), leave the radio or TV on, keep your side gate locked, keep bushes trimmed. It’s also good to have a security screen barrier to your front door.” Hessellgesser also said a trip to Home Depot, Costco or Lowes would yield inexpensive security products that are easy to install, like motion lights, fake TVs that shoot out LED lights, alarm systems and surveillance cameras. (“Lowe’s ‘Iris’ is under $200,” he said. “The only catch is you need to have WiFi.)

need to verify your numbers.” If this happens to you, do not respond to the sender (who may have a fake homepage set up so you think you’re on that company’s website), but instead call your bank or the business directly and ask if they were trying to contact you. If the scams come by phone, “just hang up!” Hesselgesser said, relaying a con someone tried on his mother. “Be savvy. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is,” he said.
Scams and Internet issues Hesselgesser said Phishing is the practice of using an e-mail to pry personal information from someone under the guise of “we
Nextdoor.com & Neighborhood Watch “We’re reaching out to citizens like we did back in the 1970s, when Neighborhood Watch programs
were the eyes and ears working together with police,” Hesselgesser said. “Now, social media and smartphones are here, providing a great way to communicate messages to each other. “Nextdoor.com is the evolution of Neighborhood Watch; it’s free, you register to verify you live there, then you can communicate with your neighbors by posting messages and pictures, and the police can post crime information and updates.” He said the police department does not run the site, but San Diego Police Chief William Lansdowne has endorsed its use. Calling the police Audience members questioned
Hesselgesser about response times and police procedures. Citing the shortage of officers in San Diego, Hesselgesser explained that calls must be prioritized. “We get a lot of complaints about the homeless,” he said, as an example, “But for us to come out, they’ve got to be committing a crime. If the problem is consistent, call us with location, times, descriptions and then we have something to go on.” He said after a burglary is reported, if it’s “cold” (the thieves were in and gone) an officer is dispatched to peruse the scene, dust for fingerprints and get any DNA samples. This data is then put into a database and detectives begin to investigate, looking for stolen property or fingerprint matches.

Dropping by the store on opening day, Phil Coller, owner of Everett-Stunz bath and linen boutique across Girard Avenue, said he was happy to see the store finally open, adding that he believes other “destination retailers” like Sur La Table are ideal for La Jolla’s design district, and will help further entice shoppers to the Village. The retail chain has more than 100 stores. The La Jolla location is the third in San Diego County. Other locations are at the Forum Shops in Carlsbad and at Fashion

Valley Mall in San Diego. The Village vibe “Street-front locations provide a unique way to serve our customers,” said Sur La Table’s Vice President of Real Estate, Mark Comstock. “Particularly in La Jolla, there is a very attractive and fun environment afforded on the street. The convenience of adjacent parking, great restaurants and shops all make La Jolla an exciting new location for us. “With the existing mall store (Fashion Valley) and the lifestyle store (Forum Shops),
opening on the street in La Jolla affords our customers the opportunity to choose the type of venue they like,” he added. Mike Slattery of Cassidy Turley La Jolla Property Group, who handled the lease for Sur La Table, said opening stores in both malls and on “main streets” can help a company weather the economy. During downturns, people tend to shop closer to home, “rather than driving to the mall 10 or 15 miles away,” he said. Slattery said Sur La Table was being offered considerable incentives to open in the UTC Westfield Mall, before they ultimately

opening, Christopherson said customers peered through the windows in anticipation, frequently knocking on the door. Carma Royce of Palm Desert, who vacations in San Diego each summer with friends, was in La Jolla for the afternoon when she came upon the new Sur La Table. “I love it!” Royce said, as she purchased a new grater-zester and a few other items. “And that kitchen — OMG!” she added, noting that she would likely be back to take a class. A calendar of classes is available online at surlatable.com and includes everything from “Lessons in French Pastry” to “Healthy Mediterranean Eating.” “We’ll do fall soups and fall stews, artisan breads, and macaroons,” said Chef Andrew Young, who spent several years in the pastry department of the Four Seasons Aviara in Carlsbad (now Hyatt Park Aviara) before joining Sur La Table. The classes start at $69, or customers can opt for a quick $5 demo in topics such as pizza preparation. Instruction is hands-on, allowing students to ask questions along the way. “It’s a full-on, start-to-finish (experience) — you make it, you put it together, and then you enjoy the end result,” Young said. “It’s you cooking with the instructor, not sitting and watching the instructor cook.” The courses also show how to use some of the items for sale at Sur La Table, from a Breville Sous Chef Food Processor to small gadgets such as a balloon whisk. “I think we all know a blender can be used

Slattery, who also handled leases for Chico’s, The Gap and other national retailers in the Village, said it is challenging for independent property owners to compete with malls to secure national retail tenants, who are often wooed by the promise of reduced rent and free or deferred space improvement costs offered by malls. The owners of the space Sur La Table occupies on Girard recently upgraded their space, including new air conditioning, plumping and roofing — all of which helped sweeten the deal, Slattery said. “Tenants are very sensitive to spending a lot of money,” he said. “It’s very expensive for stores to build out. … You could be looking at over a million dollars.”
n Coast Walk fundraising LJP&B treasurer Phyllis Minick opened her report by saying, “If I have another month like this, you’re going to have to scrape me off the ceiling! Every day since work began on the new lifeguard tower, I have had donations come in.” Thus far, she reported, LJP&B has $40,000 in hand for the Coast Walk project, which would replace 11,000 square feet of cracked sidewalk above Children’s Pool. There is also a $25,000 promised donation, as well as non-monetary donations, such as Casa De Manana offering its space for fundraising events or meetings. “The community has stepped up in a most remarkable way,” Minick said. One detail that has yet to be finalized is which method will be used to thank the donors who support the project. One option discussed is having small plaques, three-by-sixand-a-half inches, on natural objects like trees and
boulders, thanking donors. Another option is to have one large plaque with all the donors’ names at a central location, like the new lifeguard tower, once built. “Some years ago, we had concerns about too many signs and too many benches popping up around the coastline … so we want to keep things as natural as possible,” member Patrick Ahern said. One previously discussed option was naming rights, though Daneri said that was not possible. Further, he would have to hear a more definitive plan on the plaques before lending his professional opinion. n New representation Greg Parkington was

introduced as the new community liaison for Councilmember Lightner. Though he has been with Lightner’s office for a few years, Parkington said he’s been reassigned to attend LJP&B meetings and handle park and beach issues. “I look forward to getting to know all of you,” Parkington said. n La Jolla Cultural Landscape Survey LJP&B decided to form a subcommittee to contribute to the La Jolla Cultural Landscape Survey, a list of places and things that “make La Jolla, La Jolla,” said Ahern. This inventory would be given to the city so it would know which areas have special
significance to the community; what needs protecting. The City of San Diego has been conducting this survey for more than 10 years, Allen reported, but is now coming to La Jolla and requested input from the board. Ahern said that places, such as the pebblecobbled walls at Children’s Pool, certain buildings and historic trees, would be items that make up La Jolla’s cultural landscape, and suggested they be included in the list. — Those with suggestions may attend the next LJP&B meeting, 4 p.m. Monday, Sept. 23 at the La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St.

Decisions on Syria, U.S. budget, await returning legislators By Pat Sherman During the home stretch of Congressional representatives’ August recess, La Jolla resident and Congressmember Scott Peters (D-52nd) spoke with La Jolla Light about his focus upon returning to Washington this week. At the top of his to-do list will be a briefing on the situation in Syria (Last Friday, a “war-weary” President Obama said that
while the U.S. should hold Syria accountable for a chemical weapons attack that reportedly killed more than 1,400 of its own citizens, he leaning toward a limited response). “People are horrified by the notion that a government might be gassing its own children to death — and that’s something that deserves serious attention,” Peters said, adding that, if the
United States gets involved, it should “not act unilaterally.” “I don’t think it would be appropriate to go it alone,” Peters said. “To the extent that we have any action we have to be absolutely certain that it is the government that’s using chemical weapons. We also want to be certain what the mission is and how we exit. “I suspect that people, like me, while they’re concerned

about the situation, have a lot of questions about what the objective would be and what success would like if we were to take any kind of action. … I don’t think anyone’s proposing an extended boots-on-the ground kind of campaign.” Peters and his colleagues will also grapple with the budget and sequestration, hoping to broker a compromise between the House and Senate. “So far the House leadership has refused to appoint negotiators,” Peters said. “I don’t expect to be appointed a negotiator as a freshman, but I think one of us could put together a deal that would make sense and end the sequester.” Congress will also revisit the Senate immigration reform bill. “It’s not perfect,” Peters said, “but it would do a lot for San Diego and for California. I’d love to see (us have) a chance to talk about that. … I think the Senate gave us something that we can work with.” Then there’s the student loan rate compromise Congress struck this year (a previous deal would have fixed the student loan rate at 6.8 percent after a temporary reprieve rate of 3.4 percent had expired). “I, along with a lot of people, thought that that was awful high,” said Peters,
Congressmember and La Jollan Scott Peters (D-52nd) who himself made his way through college on student loans. “The (recent) compromise was that loans will be able to increase with market rates, but within certain constraints, so families would be able to plan for their kids’ education without facing drastic changes in the rates and payments. “For my part, I think we are underemphasizing the affordability of college,” Peters added. “Part of it is trying to hold down increases in costs at colleges and universities, which has exceeded the rate of inflation. I’d love to see us take that up as part of our budget negotiations, but have a bigger discussion about how to make sure that

college is affordable for every American kid who qualifies.” The former two-term San Diego City Councilmember said he was saddened by the sexual harassment scandal that led to last month’s resignation of Mayor Bob Filner (he reportedly left a phone message for Filner early on, asking him to resign with a modicum of dignity). “Clearly, I think everyone wished he’d called me back,” Peter said, while expressing his confidence in the city’s newly appointed chief operating officer, Walt Ekard, and Interim Mayor Todd Gloria. Peters said he’s weighing the field of potential mayoral contenders in the upcoming special election. “I expect to be engaged in helping to find the right mayor,” he said. “It’s important for the city and I’ll probably get involved with a candidate in the next couple of weeks.” At press time last week, former city councilmember and 2012 mayoral candidate Carl DeMaio hadn’t announced whether he would drop his intended challenge of Peters’ congressional seat to run for mayor. (DeMaio announced Sept. 3 that he won’t run; Republicans are instead backing Councilmember Kevin Faulconer.) Asked if Peters would rather see DeMaio challenge him, or vie to take San Diego’s mayoral reins, Peters chuckled, “I’m enjoying watching him go back and forth like everybody else.” Peters said he is sticking by his campaign promise to be a public servant who builds bridges, and eschews hard-line partisanship. “I’m the fourth most independent Democrat, according to the National Journal,” Peters said. “We take for granted the California culture of collaboration and cooperation,” he said. “It’s very common for us to sit around the table and figure out problems without regard to rank or hierarchy. “When you go to Washington, D.C. you really notice how they could really use a dose of our leadership style … (being) less worried about what your title is than what your idea is.”

The Divorce Help Clinic: When ‘happily ever after’ is over By Marti Gacioch When Nancy Fagan, owner of The Divorce Help Clinic, experienced her first marriage ending in divorce, she thought she had a better chance of encountering an alien than finding a second husband. But instead of accepting the single life, Fagan said she began to write her first book, “Desirable Men: How to Find Them.” Fagan holds an M.S. in clinical psychology (emphasis in marriage and family therapy), so she felt well-suited for her task. She also had more than 20 years of experience working with conflicted couples. After her first book was successfully in print, she penned a second, “The Idiot’s Guide to Romance.” “And that’s when everything changed,”’ Fagan said. She expected the book to attract couples seeking to improve their relationships, but instead, she got people who wanted help negotiating the details of their divorce. Feeling ill-equipped to assist them, she said she began training in divorce mediation. But she quickly learned she would still need an attorney to handle legal documents. “I now have the largest divorce mediation company in north San Diego and a fantastic team of four mediators with law degrees and

women (85 percent), who contact the clinic and initiate a divorce. “Many people have thought about divorce for years, but they don’t know where to start,” Fagan said. “So we offer a free Divorce Drop-in Clinic where anyone can visit Wednesdays between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. and meet privately with a mediator.” Fagan said hiring a mediator with a law degree to facilitate a divorce costs less than one retainer for a divorce attorney. At the Divorce Help Clinic, a divorce costs less than $4,000. “That includes filing a divorce petition, serving a spouse, assisting the client and their spouse to make decisions on support, division of finances, debt, as well as custody and visitation,” Fagan said. “We also complete the legal documentation, notarize the final Marital Settlement Agreement, and file everything with the court. Best of all, the couple never has to go to court.” — The Divorce Help Clinic, owner Nancy Fagan, M.S., 11622 El Camino Real, San Diego (Carmel Valley). (858) 863-3380.

More than a ‘river in Egypt’
Denial may be the key to human evolution, dominance
If you go ■ What: Dr. Ajit Varki reads from his new book, ‘Denial’ ■ When: 7:30 p.m. Sept. 11 ■ Where: Warwick’s bookstore, 7812 Girard Ave., La Jolla ■ Website: warwicks.com
By Pat Sherman “Optimism is denying reality” and “reality isn’t very comforting” said Dr. Ajit Varki, a distinguished professor of medicine and cellular and molecular medicine at UC San Diego, speaking recently with La Jolla Light. Sound bleak? Depressing? Maybe not. As Varki posits in his new book, “Denial: Self-Deception, False Beliefs, and the Origins of the Human Mind,” our unique ability to deny reality may also be the key to our success on the evolutionary ladder. Varki will discuss his theory and sign copies of his book at Warkwick’s, 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 11. Though scientists have long sought to answer the question, “What makes us human?” Varki said he believes researchers should instead be asking what has stopped even the most intelligent creatures such as dolphins, elephants, crows and chimpanzees —which have demonstrated the ability to form social groups and make tools — from becoming human-like. The primary human attribute these animals lack is referred to as “theory of mind,” the ability to attribute one’s own
mental states — including beliefs, intentions, desire, knowledge and imaginings — to others (or more simply put, the ability to put oneself in another’s shoes). It is also what allows two people not in each other’s presence to correspond via phone or e-mail. “There have been some pretty smart creatures around for a long time, yet there’s only one species like humans that can put out newspapers, have phone conversations, act in comedy shows or give lectures,” Varki said. “If I’m a chimpanzee, I’m self-aware … but I’m not truly conscious of the consciousness of another chimpanzee.” Yet, theory of mind is also what alerted our human ancestors to the ultimate, grizzly reality: our own mortality. “The first time you get this knowledge it’s very discomforting,” said Varki, who believes human brains likely developed a capacity for denying reality as a means of survival. Since it is unlikely that the brain would develop something as specific as denial of death, Varki said humans developed a broader capacity to deny anything they dislike, wish to avoid or find objectionable.

La Jolla Resident welve years later, our country pauses to remember the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, which reduced the World Trade Center to rubble and turned it into an instant gravesite for nearly 3,000 victims. Today, Ground Zero is home to One World Trade Center, (the tallest building in the United States), a museum, and a memorial paying respect to the innocent people who perished on Sept. 11, 2001. At our annual family reunion in New York this summer, we reminisced about the unifying moments we remembered from that gut-wrenching day. My brother was working at The Bank of New York on Wall Street. Once the planes struck the World Trade Center, the area became a disaster zone, and his best recourse was to walk uptown toward our parents’ place. On his way, he was lucky to catch a ferry to New Jersey where he lived with his wife, and he physically escaped the mayhem that had struck NYC’s financial epicenter. Our mom was near Central Park on the upper westside and smelled the acrid smoke billowing from the attack located over a hundred blocks downtown. Meanwhile, I was living in San Diego, feeling helpless and worried. We didn’t know if this was an isolated attack or if there was more to come. The phones were jammed as we stayed glued to the TV watching the horrifying footage of the World Trade Center under attack. No one will ever forget the images of New York City’s brave firemen lugging their heavy equipment into the burning buildings trying to rescue as many people as possible, the sheer panic as people ran for their lives as the North tower was ablaze and a second plane crashed into the South tower, and then the devastating collapse of both buildings. It was like a war zone. The impossible had happened and we watched in helpless disbelief. Each summer since, the thought of going to visit Ground Zero crossed my mind, but the feelings were still too raw. My hometown had been attacked and thousands of people killed. Still, it had become my mission to visit the 9/11 Memorial for the first time. In July, my husband, two sons and I took the subway to the last stop. As got off and approached the site, I recalled the glimmering beauty of the twin towers and the special

occasion years ago when my parents took me to Windows on the World restaurant atop the former One World Trade Center, riding the elevator to the 107th floor and enjoying dinner in the tallest skyscraper in the city. While I don’t remember what we ate, the view was spectacular. At the revitalized site, my family and I gazed upon the new awe-inspiring One World Trade Center building, also known as the Freedom Tower. It was designed by Michael Arad, an Israeli architect, who also created “Reflecting Absence,” the matching footprints with tranquil waterfalls, artfully framed with the victims names engraved in bronze overlooking the empty pools of flowing water filling the void of where the World Trade Center towers once stood.
Extensive time and contemplation went into rebuilding this hallowed ground to give it the perfect blend of a memorial to honor the dead and a breath of new life for the cosmopolitan area that once thrived with hard-working people. As we walked around the footprints and read the names, we remembered the Sept. 11th tragedy and the many precious lives lost in one senseless act of violence. It is no longer a disaster zone, but instead it is a sacred zone for visitors to come, reflect, and honor the memory of 9/11 victims … and to never forget. By next year, Condé Nast and other prestigious companies will occupy One World Trade Center, adding glitz and glamour to an area being reinvented while overcoming its tragic past with patience and fortitude. (Author’s note: Patience and Fortitude are the names of NYC’s Library Lions. They are words used to describe the nature of New Yorkers. While some people may not grasp the meaning of those two words together, true blue New Yorkers will understand.)

An independent La Jolla could outlaw leaf blowers Until we (secede from San Diego and) become our own city, we will have leaf blowers! This alone is a reason for La Jolla to become independent. We only need $1.5 million and it will be done. We are part of a very backward city. It is sad, but true. Del Mar is its own city, so they can do things that make sense — they even have their own mayor! There must be someone out there who would pay $1.5 million to get rid of the leaf blowers. “Independent La Jolla” will do it for you, just come to us.

Fight for shared use by Sept. 12 meeting In the spring of 2006, my letter, “More than an issue of ‘seal’s rights,’ ” was published in the La Jolla Light. What I expressed was that this was (also) an issue of trust, honor, and the rule of law. This remains true today. In 2006, the City of San Diego had recently been found to be in breach of the original 1931 Children’s Pool trust agreement, and ordered to clean up and reopen the site for public access and use. The decision is a comprehensive review of the history of the Children’s Pool, and the ruling was right, and honors both the 1931 trust, and the public’s trust in the rule of law. In 2006, I asked the city to stop playing politics, “…and act to uphold the trust that a previous city council placed before all future councils to honor, in perpetuity.” Instead, the city unsuccessfully appealed the ruling. Following that, was a successful effort to have the state legislature amend the 1931 trust agreement by adding an additional use – marine mammal watching. “Seal watching” is perfectly fine, so long as the other uses set forth in the trust agreement are also honored. However, that’s not what is being done. Instead, the Children’s Pool may be closed and only seal watching will be allowed there. Not only would this be the wrong thing to do, it would deprive the public of their right to access the ocean as is guaranteed in our own state constitution. Many of us support a policy that both protects the seal’s and public’s rights to access and use it. It’s a policy of shared use and worked fine for decades, and still works, for the most part. The seal population at the Children’s Pool, and along the West Coast, is not endangered nor subjected to levels of harm sufficient to warrant closing the site, as will (again) be considered by the city’s Planning Commission on Sept. 12. Please let them, the mayor’s office, and the city council know that we can share this beach between people and marine mammals. Moreover, remind them it would be the right thing to do, in perpetuity!

From Denial, A17 “I know many cardiologists who … watch other people die of heart attacks and strokes from smoking and they’re still smoking cigarettes,” he said. “We know what we’re supposed to do in terms of exercise and eating right, and we just ignore all of that.” In the book, Varki uses the phrase “mind over reality” to express this. “Actually, what we have is diminished fear responses,” he said. “We humans do crazy things. We jump out of planes, we drive fast cars. … When there’s a tornado in the Midwest, all the animals disappear 10 to 15 minutes early; all the humans come out to watch.” A positive byproduct: optimism Once humans obtained the ability to deny, the world became a much more
tolerable place. “We do amazing things,” Varki said. “We can say, ‘I don’t care what they say, I’m going to swim across the English Channel’ or ‘I’m going to try out this crazy new idea everybody thinks is not going to work.’ So, denial also gives us optimism.” Humans employ denial on my levels — political, social and religious, Varki said. “In some case the denials are actually good, because they help us get through the day and get things done,” he said. However, not all denial-based optimism is beneficial, said Varki, citing mankind’s collective denial of global warming, and Americans’ denial of the national debt (each U.S. taxpayer owes approximately $100,000 as their share of the national debt, now more than $16 trillion). “We have this magical thinking,” Varki

IRS warns of three tax scams These schemes are on the top of the IRS’s “Dirty Dozen” list of scams this year. For the full list or to find out how to report suspected tax fraud, visit irs.gov 1. Identity Theft. Thieves use personal information, such as your name, Social Security number or other identifying information without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may also use another person’s identity to fraudulently file a tax return and claim a refund. 2. Phishing. Phishing scammers may pose as the IRS and send bogus e-mails, set up phony websites or make phone calls. These contacts usually offer a fictitious refund or threaten an audit or investigation to lure victims into revealing personal information. Phishers then use the information they obtain to steal the victim’s identity, access their bank accounts and credit cards or apply for loans.

We have to face up to the reality.” The root of ‘Denial’ Varki’s book was co-authored by the late Danny Brower, a professor in the department of molecular and cellular biology at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

Upon learning of Brower’s death in 2007, Varki published an article about Brower’s theory in the journal, Nature. Brower’s widow, Sharon, saw the article and contacted Varki to ask if he would finish her husband’s half-completed manuscript on the subject. “The book itself is an example of what we’re talking about,” said Varki, who is splitting the book’s proceeds with Brower’s widow. “Here you have a book written by two people who only met for an hour and a half. I get a copy of that incomplete manuscript and I can imagine what he was thinking when he wrote what he wrote, and I’m able to finish his book with my own thoughts.”

La Jolla High girls’ sports season opens on a high note Compiled by Ashley Mackin everal La Jolla High School girls’ sports had their first match-ups over the weekend, which proved to be a beneficial learning experience for the Lady Vikings.
S
Field Hockey Junior varsity (JV) and varsity field hockey played their season opener against Point Loma on Aug. 30 at the Muirlands Middle School field, and both groups brought it home. JV won 4-0 and varsity won 5-0. The field hockey girls will once again utilize the Muirlands field when they take on El Capitan 3:15 p.m. Sept. 6, and then return home to Gene Edwards Stadium play Hilltop 3 p.m. Sept. 9. The cross country and varsity volleyball teams each started their seasons on Aug. 31. Cross Country During the cross country Vaquero Stampede Invitational in Lakeside, in which the Vikings competed in freshman/sophomore and junior/senior groups, the freshmen turned out to be the shining stars. The freshman/sophomore group placed third as a whole and the junior/senior group placed sixth. Coach Roger Karnopp reported less than half the team was there, and hot and humid weather contributed to their performance. “However there were some fine performances by the freshmen,” he said. “Elise Roberts placed third in her race followed by Natasha Ninkovic, Allison Sweeney and Rylee Olson.” He added that sophomore Athena Dong also ran very well.
The girls cross country team will not host any invitationals this season, participating in all meets at other schools. Volleyball The girls varsity volleyball team played at home against Vintage High School from Napa, but lost 3-2 after five sets. Coach David Jones said he was impressed with the competitive spirit and said the Vikings played well. La Jolla won the first two sets 25-16 and 25-19, but then lost the following three sets in equally narrow margins. The Vikings varsity volleyball girls will be on the road for a while, and do not play another home game until Sept. 27-28, when they host the Beach City Invitational (though one “away” game is at the Bishop’s School on Sept. 24). n Full schedule of La Jolla High’s athletics: LJHS. sandi.net

He Walks! He Talks! He Paints! Picasso to ‘come alive’ in one-man show at the REP By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt f there’s one 20th century artist who’s a household name, it’s Picasso. A master of many media, he lived long and prospered, a self-created legend in his time. This month, artist/actor/writer Herbert Siguenza, co-founder of the award-winning Latino comedy troupe Culture Clash, is bringing his one-man show about the Spanish-born, Frenchbred artist to the San Diego Repertory Theatre, where “A Weekend with Pablo Picasso” was first work-shopped in 2010. After successful productions in Houston, Denver, L.A. and the Bay Area, the new, improved version of “Picasso” is back on the stage where it was born. Siguenza’s Picasso is in his mid-70s, working in his studio in the south of France. He talks to

La Jolla couple subject of heartwarming viral photo By Ashley Mackin hile taking a vacation in Boise, Idaho, La Jolla residents Kelly and Jesse Cottle took a quick family photo in the Boise River. Little did they know it would quickly become a nationally noticed, viral photo. The photo of Kelly carrying Jesse, is a double leg amputee who stepped on an undetected Improvised Explosive Device (IED) while serving in Afghanistan, went viral, quickly getting national attention and thousands of likes on social media. The couple was then featured on ABC News, E! News and Huffington Post, and in People magazine, among others. “The photographer wanted to take a few shots in the water, so we offered for Jesse to take his (prosthetics) off so we could all go in. My brother carried him down into the river, we took the pictures, and then as I was carrying Jesse back up to his legs, she took a couple shots of us,” Kelly Cottle told La Jolla Light. “It was totally unplanned.” Kelly carrying Jesse is nothing out of the ordinary since his July 2009 injury. “Jesse and I have found over the years, that it is often easier for me to carry him when we are in hard to

W
navigate situations,” Kelly said. “We started doing it at the beach, where it was easier for me to carry him down the sand and through the break. We do it so often, and hardly think anything of it anymore.” Kelly added that the coastline of La Jolla is her favorite place to be and that she and her husband enjoy picnics on grassy areas next to cliffs and the walking paths along the beach. Because their situation is now routine for the couple, they said they were surprised by the overwhelming reaction to their photo. “It has been very surreal and incredibly humbling,” Kelly said. “It is hard to believe that so many people would pay attention to a photo of us that was taken so sporadically, doing something that we often do.” She added that the national attention hasn’t even really sunk in yet. “For so many people to take the time to comment and share their support and thanks is really a reflection of the makeup of this country,” she said. “There are a lot of ugly things going on in this world, but at the core, Americans are great people, and there is good and courage and heroism everywhere if we just take the time to look for it.”

Petco Park’s Club 19 has the bases loaded! By Kelley Carlson teps away from the baseball diamond in Petco Park is a hidden gem of a restaurant that is dedicated to one of the Padres’ legendary players. Club 19, which pays homage to Tony “Mr. Padre” Gwynn, is “off the beaten path,” as described by the park’s executive chef, Will Todd. It’s between sections 213 and 215 on the Toyota Terrace, identified by a white neon sign and silhouettes of ball players on the windows. Inside is a cozy and intimate lounge — a relaxed way to enjoy the game, which is shown on monitors around the restaurant. Some patrons perch on stools at the glowing blue bar; others settle onto couches or in booths around the dining room. There are also several tables on the open-air terrace, which provides views of downtown San Diego. Many guests take the time to gaze at the Gwynn memorabilia around the room, from awards and jerseys to photos and inspirational quotes. Gwynn, whose jersey No. 19 was retired by the San Diego Padres in 2004, spent his entire 20-year career with the team and won eight batting titles, tied for the second-most in Major League Baseball history. He is also a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame and a 15-time All-Star. While energizing music and crowd cheers from the stadium can be overheard during a game, the restaurant itself is relatively quiet and relaxed, yet still casual.

n This week’s recipe:
Club 19’s Bullpen Strikeout Sauce
“It’s never too rowdy,” Todd said. It’s often family-oriented during the day, he noted; the bar crowd tends to come in around the fifth inning to take advantage of special $5 snacks. As for the food, it’s not your typical ballpark fare. Mainly, it consists of small American-style plates, and incorporates produce grown in the bullpen’s garden. The signature dish is the Lollipop Chicken (wings covered in classic spicy buffalo and green chile sauces) with a side of carrot and celery slaw combined with bleu cheese, a variation on the standard vegetables sticks. Other offerings include the Baja-style ceviche, a combination of shrimp, mahi
mahi, avocado, cilantro and lime that has a slight kick to it; the Sirloin Tips with potatoes, covered in a crimini mushroom demi sauce, caramelized onions and arugula; and, of course, Tony’s Tenders with a side of mac and cheese, created from a recipe by Gwynn’s wife, Alicia. Dishes can be paired with a variety of specialty cocktails, wines, beers and soft drinks. The “Lil’ Sluggers” menu features handbreaded chicken tenders with ranch dipping sauce and macaroni & cheese in a smoked cheddar sauce and bread crumbs, an organic PB&J sandwich with crusts removed (of course) and Sirloin Tips with potatoes and barbecue sauce. Each is served with grapes and apple juice. During idyllic weather, Todd recommends sitting on the terrace and starting with marinated olives and shrimp cocktail in a chili garlic sauce. For the main selection, order the Bases Loaded Burger, an 8-ounce, smoked cheddar-stuffed patty with bacon and sauteed mushrooms. Food is served through the seventh inning during weekdays and the end of the game on weekends; the bar is open until an hour after the game ends. Reservations are not needed at Club 19, guests are seated on a first-come, first served basis. Club 19 is accessible when there are fewer than 30,000 people at a game. However, patrons need a Toyota Terrace ticket when the crowd is larger.

La Jolla High grad celebrates release of self-produced album By Ashley Mackin Nathan Fox, who grew up in La Jolla and attended Torrey Pines Elementary School, Muirlands Middle School and La Jolla High, will return to San Diego for the official release of his self-produced album, “I’m All Done,” 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17 at the House of Blues, 1055 Fifth Ave. The album is available digitally, but Fox said he’s yet to have a release party or even perform the songs in San Diego. The concert will help him conclude the long and challenging process of selfproducing an album. Fox said he had music in his life for as long as he can remember. After high school, he moved to Los Angeles where he established a studio to make music. “I wrote music for video games and TV movies, so it was writing music, which is awesome, but wasn’t music for me,” he said. Admitting this album was “a long time coming,” Fox said he wanted to make music that was “100 percent me.” He recruited the help of producer Jake Staley to get a sixtrack album together. While in

If you go ■ What: Nathan Fox’s EP release party and concert ■ When: 7:30 p.m. Sept. 17 ■ Where: House of Blues, 1055 Fifth Ave., downtown ■ Tickets: Free, reserve at HouseOfBlues.com ■ Hear the EP: NathanFoxMusic.com pre-production — which Fox used wisely, planning as much as possible before paying for musicians and studio time — they heard the Alabama Shakes’ debut album, “Boys and Girls.” Fox said when he heard it, he could tell it was recorded on analog (reel-to-reel instead of a computer), which he said brings a new energy to the sound. He wanted to do the same thing. “I was impressed and captivated by it, and it just so happened we were in the market for an engineer and a place to record, and we were thinking we wanted to record what we were working on to reelto-reel as well,” he said.
La Jolla High graduate Nathan Fox will return to San Diego to release his EP ‘I’m All Done.’ Whitney Pratt So Fox reached out to studio owner Andrija Tokic, who helped record the Alabama Shakes album, and sent him videos of his own performances. Tokic agreed to work with Fox, lending his Nashville studio and asking local musicians to play on the album. Tokic gathered bassist Dave Roe,
who played with Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Three, Faith Hill, and John Mellencamp; drummer Fred Eltringham, who played with The Wallflowers, K.D. Lang and The Dixie Chicks; and banjo player Richard Bailey, who played with Al Green, George Jones, Kenny Rogers and Johnny Cash.
Because of the impressive talent and the diversity of their projects, Fox said the only way to describe the album is “throwback.” “It throws back to different genres, but it has this older sound,” he said. The title track, for example, has a jazz groove with a bluegrass feel, reminiscent of New Orleans in the 1920s. The experience of recording the album was amazing for Fox, who said from day one, he was going to do it his way. Part of that has meant not releasing CDs. “For one, it’s a lot of overhead to get them produced,” he said. “But more importantly, it’s not good for the environment to produce a bunch of material that is a mix between plastic and metal, and that is difficult if not impossible to recycle. “Also, it’s getting to the point, with modern technology, where people often get the CD, burn it onto their computer and then throw the CD away.” Fox will play a free show at the House of Blues, but those who want to listen to the album before they go, may stream it for free at NathanFoxMusic.com

But one of the noteworthy things about this “Picasso” is: the actor brings the artworks to life, along with the artist. “I’m channeling my own innerartistic self here,” Siguenza said. “It takes a lot of courage to stand up and paint in front of people. It’s not something just anyone can do.” It certainly helps that he started out as an artist, and was drawn to Picasso’s work at an early age. Seeing Luis Valdez’s groundbreaking “Zoot Suit” lured him into acting, and now, decades later, he gets to create his own Picassos onstage. How has the show changed since its original appearance here? “It’s gotten deeper and richer,” Siguenza said. “It’s not that different, really; it’s just better.” Siguenza is quick to admit he’s had help along the way. First,
from director Todd Salovey, at the REP. “He had a lot to do with developing the script,” Siguenza said. “He’s very good at making things clean and concise.” Then, at Houston’s Alley Theater, where Mark Bly, whom Siguenza called “the father of American dramaturgy,” gave him a hand with the structure. But “Picasso” really is Siguenza’s baby. “It’s my ultimate expression as an artist, combining my love of art and theater,” he said. “I had to get older, and more experienced, to be able to do it, to be able to totally find where Picasso was coming from.” Siguenza, now 54, is no stranger to the one-man show format. He has created and performed solo pieces about Mexican film star Cantinflas and 1960s political activist Abbie Hoffman. He’s no stranger to the REP either, having appeared there a number of times, with and without Culture Clash. And he’s just completing an 18-month residency at the REP under a New Generations Future Leaders grant from Theatre Communications Group (TCG),

other side of the table, participating in meetings and decisions. Now I feel like a leader, and where I’ve been most influential is that three out of six of this season’s plays are written
by Latinos — ‘In the Time of Butterflies,’ ‘In the Heights,’ and my play. I think theaters should represent the demographics of their community, and the REP is really doing that.” They are also doing three performances of “Picasso” in Spanish, which Siguenza is excited about. “I believe there is an audience for Spanish-speaking theater here,” he said. “If we build it, they will come!” What’s next for Siguenza, after “Picasso”? The big news is: the LAbased artist/actor/writer will soon be here to stay. “My family and I love San Diego, and I love the theater community here,” he said. “I plan to move here, develop my pieces here, and make this place my own.” Already on tap is his newest play, “El Henry,” based on Shakespeare’s Henry IV. Siguenza described it as a futuristic piece that takes place in a “postgringo” California, where Latinos rule. It will be presented in association with La Jolla Playhouse, and staged outdoors next June, in Barrio Logan.

Tijuana & Beyond draws crowd to Institute of the Americas By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt rom the molé sliders that started off the evening to the tequila sunrises that ended it, “Tijuana, Baja & Beyond,” co-hosted by TJ’s Municipal Institute of Arts and Culture (IMAC) and the Institute of the Americas, was a tasty event. More than 200 guests from both sides of the border mixed and mingled, sipping espressos, viewing the artworks, and enjoying the smooth moves of tango duo Miguel & Sandra, the fiery flamenco dancing of Norma Michel, and the bilingual cabaret of sultry songstress Madame Ur and her Hombres. “We are bi-nationals,” said Mariza Sanchez, an artist and art consultant who lives in La Jolla. “And it’s time for Tijuana to show us their faces here.”

‘The Harder They Come’ stars reggae music legend Jimmy Cliff. Courtesy
ArcLight to screen film that spread reggae to the masses ArcLight Cinemas in La Jolla will hold a 40th anniversary screening of the cult classic, “The Harder They Come,” 8 p.m. Sept. 4-5. The 1972 Jamaican crime film and its soundtrack, starring reggae singer and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Cliff, are credited with spreading reggae music throughout the world. It tells of a young Jamaican man wishing to become a successful reggae singer (played by Cliff) who finds himself tied to corrupt record producers and drug pushers. The character is based on Rhyging, a real-life Jamaican criminal, who achieved fame in the 1940s. Cliff is the only current living musician to hold the Order of Merit, the highest honor that can be granted by the Jamaican government for achievement in the arts and sciences.

www.lajollalight.com From 10 QUESTIONS, B1 Medicine in 1982, and always wanted to live as close to work as possible. My wife, Nissi, and I were finally able to move to La Jolla in 2004. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? Fewer people driving, more people walking, more respect for cyclists, and less fog on cold days. Who or what inspires you? Great thinkers of the past, in science, philosophy and religion. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? On my guest list would be: Mary Magdalene, Gautama Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi,
LA JOLLA LIGHT - september 5, 2013 - Page B17
Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, Ida Scudder (the founder of my alma mater CMC Vellore), my illustrious journalist grandfather Pothan Joseph, and last, but not least, my late coauthor Danny Brower, who I only met in person for an hour or so. Danny and I would spend the evening seeking opinions of the other guests about our new theory for explaining unique features of the human mind. What are you currently reading? I’m reading “The Artful Species,” by philosopher Stephen Davies; “The Bonobo and the Atheist,” by primatologist Franz De Waal; and “Above All Else,” by worldchampion sky jumper Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld. What is it you most dislike?
After more than a century of successful application of rational thinking and scientific knowledge to the problems of the world, many Americans have slipped into a form of “Denialism,” in which they selectively choose to believe and disbelieve well-documented facts that are put before them. This is a very dangerous trend, particularly when it comes to denying serious realities that are staring us in the face, such as climate destabilization. What is your most-prized possession? Nothing I can really think of, since I know that I cannot take anything with me. My late father often reminded me of Leo Tolstoy’s classic short story “How Much Land Does a Man Need?” (six feet, in which to be buried).
What do you do for fun? Get together with family and friends, playing with the dog and cats, listening to rock ‘n’ roll music and also going to work. Yes, I’m among the fortunate few who cannot wait to get to work every day; my work is my way of life. What is your motto of life? “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” — Ecclesiastes 9:10 What would be your dream vacation? A week at Crater Lake Lodge with closest family and friends, with stimulating conversation and reading materials, but minus the phone, Internet and TV.
Food Trucks Fridays come to La Jolla and support local school Every Friday in September from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., a number of food trucks will be parked in front of Donovan’s La Jolla, 4365 Executive Drive, and a percentage of their sales will go to support Torrey Pines Elementary School.

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

Said sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 a 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 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 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case 13-0007788. 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.
