Planners OK event’s street closures following rebuke of faith-based name By Pat Sherman he La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) approved street closures for the La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival during its Sept. 4 meeting — but not before several trustees criticized event organizers for not following the example of other December events in San Diego County, the names for which have been changed to replace the word “Christmas” with “holiday” (or something that does not reference a particular religion). Name change proponents were handed an unexpected feather in their cap during the meeting when San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Cindy Marten, who attended, urged LJCPA trustees to deny the street closures until a more inclusive name is determined.

up to the inaugural Pearl Street game (named for the street that divides the schools).

ocents from the Seal Conservancy of San Diego turned out Saturday, Sept. 6 for a cleaning party on South Casa beach. “It was especially important this weekend because unusually high waves take much trash out to sea,” said Pam Thomas, who organized the service project through I Love a Clean San Diego. “Every little piece of trash we removed from the area prevented harm to ocean life. Thanks again to all participants for doing such a great job!” The group removed cigarette butts, forgotten clothing, food debris and even a large tree limb from the beach area. u

La Jolla Village Merchants Association: Candidates for board of directors From Merchants Candidates, A1

n *Krista Heron Baroudi, La Jolla Cove Suites: La Jolla has been my home since 1976. I have been CEO and managing partner of La Jolla Cove Suites and my family’s properties here in La Jolla since 2001. Making a contribution to this wonderful community has not only been important Krista Heron to me as a merchant in the Baroudi Village, but also on a personal level as a resident raising two sons. It has been a pleasure serving on the board of directors for LJVMA for the last two years as secretary. We have made progress in building a stronger business community, but the work has only just begun, with so much more to be accomplished. n *Claudette Berwin, Gallery Properties: I’ve had the great privilege of serving on the LJVMA board since the inception of the newly formed business improvement district (BID). I am the owner/ broker of Gallery Properties on Herschel,

tunein

and have been at this location since 2002. Prior to moving to La Jolla, I served as director of the Newport Beach Association of Realtors, liaison to the Newport Beach City Council and chair of that city’s government and political affairs committee. I am passionate about our Claudette Village, cultural Berwin diversification and keeping businesses here. I originally served on the branding, website development, promotions and marketing committees for LJVMA. Being the LJVMA’s acting block captain for Herschel has provided me with the opportunity to meet many of our merchants. I also serve as the liaison for the La Jolla Real Estate Brokers Association (REBA) and am on the Pillage the Village and Concours d’Elegance committees. During my tenure, our board aggressively and successfully negotiated installation of the fence gate on Coast Boulevard as a remedy to alleviate the Cove odor. We also opened the La Jolla Visitors Information Center on Prospect to serve our merchants, community and tourism. 1) LJVMA is working hard to establish a streamlined, all-inclusive permit processing system to assist new incoming businesses. It would be great to establish co-op print and/ or digital advertising campaigns to drive consumers to La Jolla. Our design team has

worked very hard on the beautification of La Jolla and with additional funding will continue to do so. We are working hard to create seasonal events to encourage local residents to shop/dine locally such as our very popular Haute La Jolla Nights and Pillage the Village. 2) I do not support on-street paid parking. 3) Landlords are responsible for the areas in front of their buildings — not the City of San Diego. LJVMA has repeatedly appealed to the landlords to power wash and clean their sidewalks. I think we need to continue to apply pressure on the city to stay on top of the guano odor. We were successful in opening the gate but the odor has returned. We need regularly scheduled treatments to be proactive. As much as I believe in private property rights, it pains me to see businesses fail. I wish we had a better balance of rental rates that would be more commensurate with economic times to prevent vacant storefronts. n *Trenton Bonner, Trenton Bonner Coastal Real Estate: The vision I see for LJVMA is to continue to improve, bring together and maintain the integrity and historical view and values of the Village. If I am fortunate to be reelected to the board, I will Trenton strive to help maintain those Bonner values. Past and present

want to see businesses continue to thrive. The best way I know how is to volunteer my time and efforts to be part of new ideas and solutions. My graduate degree is in regulatory affairs. Before I became an entrepreneur, I was in health-care administration with more than 15 years experience Elsie managing staff, budgets and Arredondo growth. As the owner of an art gallery, I understand event planning, fundraising and the challenges of local small business. 1) We should not re-invent the wheel but instead leverage what has already been successful in other communities similar to La Jolla. One example that comes to mind is the “Festival of the Arts-Pageant of the Masters” in Laguna Beach. Activities like this will continue to attract people from, not just inside San Diego County, but also beyond. 2) I attended the LJVMA meeting where this subject came up and I know that paid parking was NOT the topic of discussion but rather the topic/proposal was to evaluate all potential opportunities for new revenue to promote our Village. As part of this evaluation, nothing was excluded. I support this broad evaluation because good decisions come from comprehensive information.

3) It is important to know the cause of the problem and who is ultimately responsible. My assumption is that the responsibility will be a combination of the business owners, property owners and the City of San Diego. A solution will require collaboration and buy-in from all three of these entities with the LJVMA acting in a strong facilitator role.

Soledad Memorial Association; La Jolla Presbyterian Church. n Paul Burke, real estate agent, PSB: I seek a seat on the LJVMA board to offer my time, commitment and business acumen to ensure the Village of La Jolla continues to draw global and local visitors, is a desirable venue for businesses and events, and has the resources and infrastructure to grow Paul Burke with the times. I can assist the board in structuring and implementing an elastic model that will see it through the changing economy and times. My business-development experience spans from growing one coffee kiosk into more than a dozen (which I sold to a burgeoning franchise) to founding and growing a globally recognized company in the semiconductor industry and taking it public. I continue to consult for a number of leading chip manufacturing companies worldwide. My experience with the Malibu Business Committee may also be of use to LJVMA. During my time in Malibu, we improved Old Town from a fledging local stop into a flourishing tourist and local destination. I have settled in beautiful La Jolla. I will raise my 4-year-old twin girls here and do what’s in my power to ensure they have a

place to work in the Village. 1) Draw from the success of similar communities by showcasing the beauty and elegance of the Village on a domestic and international level. This may be achieved by marketing the “Jewel of California” with the close proximity to Metropolitan San Diego through various methods that include collaborative events and celebrations, sports, shuttle service, advertising with airlines and airports and cooperative sister community relations. 2) Part of the charm of La Jolla Village is fashioned by visiting the uniquely elegant stores, restaurants and hotels in a noncommercialized setting. I would require more information on the pros and cons of adding parking meters as a means of generating funds for the beautification of the Village and marketing but at this time do feel the addition of parking meters lining our streets would detract from the lovely ambiance of the Village. 3) This is a great question and one which has motivated me to seek a seat with the LJVMA Board. I feel strongly the merchant association should work closely with the community and land owners to implement an ongoing campaign to keep the Village clean, its appearance pristine and inviting.

Christophe Cevasco

n Christophe Cevasco, Eddie V’s restaurant: I’ve been in the Village as a merchant since our opening three years ago. I’ve seen

quite a few things that make La Jolla unique and attractive, and I’ve seen other things I think could further give the Jewel better outreach to visitors and residents alike. By participating (and not just vocalizing my opinion), I can better help our Village to flourish, working as a network of equals collaborating to bring a mutual benefit to the business district.

Leon Chow

n *Leon Chow, C&H Photo: As an original member of LJVMA, I cherish the opportunity to continue volunteering on behalf of the merchants and aid in the future successes of the Village.

n G. Michael Dorvillier, Symbio Financial Partners: I’ve lived, worked and raised my family in La Jolla for the past 24 years. I will bring fresh perspectives, ideas, and energy to enrich the business community as a member of LJVMA. Over the past three years, I’ve served as chair of the La Jolla G. Michael Concours d’Elegance, Dorvillier elevating what once was a small car show to one of the most soughtafter concours in the United States. As both a business owner and homeowner in La Jolla, I am invested in my community. I understand that the relationship between the Village businesses, merchants and the community has been instrumental in the

growth of the Concours d’Elegance and will bring that same ideology of partnership between the community, businesses and events to help raise much-needed revenue for the betterment and awareness of the Village. My other civic involvement has included the San Diego International Sports Council and La Jolla Youth Baseball. n *Mark A. Krasner, attorney at Blanchard, Krasner & French: As a secondgeneration native San Diegan, I’ve enjoyed La Jolla my entire life. As a CPA and founding partner of a La Jolla law firm, I understand what needs to happen and what needs to be done by La Jolla business Mark A. owners to improve and Krasner enhance their own prospects and the sterling reputation of the community they serve. It has been my honor and privilege to serve as a board member and officer of LJVMA. I look forward to continuing to do so.

La Jolla Village Merchants Association: Candidates for board of directors From Merchants Candidates, A7

n Vahid Moradi, Charles Jewelers & Panerai Boutique: La Jolla is an incredible community that I am proud to call my home. As a Prospect Street merchant of 30 years, I have experience grappling with the unique challenges faced by La Jolla business owners. Keeping La Jolla beautiful and welcoming is a matter of solving parking issues, keeping streets and sidewalks well

kept and free of debris, and promoting events which both attract visitors and are a point of pride for community members. As a business owner I’ve balanced the needs of residents and visitors, and I know it takes both for a thriving merchant community. We all know that consumers want a Vahid more authentic relationship Moradi with companies. … I am results-driven and want to improve the bottom line for every La Jolla business. n *James A. Niebling, Esteban Interiors: I’ve served as chair of the LJVMA Design Division for my entire three-year term. We have led the following initiatives: landscape enhancements; holiday décor vision; sidewalk furniture repair and beautification. Our key goals James A. for the community remain: Niebling raise the aesthetics of La Jolla to attract and retain shoppers; promote public awareness with enhanced design and beautification of the community; and create a new and exciting community for businesses looking to locate in La Jolla. As a business owner and partner of a flourishing interior design business for some seven years, I’m incredibly excited about the

growth potential for La Jolla and understand and support the Main Street Four-Point Approach as an optimum way to elevate the community: economic restructuring, promotions, organization and design. I was a founding member of Little Italy’s Art and Design District and accomplished many key initiatives, including work on the “Kettner Nights” events streetlamp banners, sponsor tags, and extensive PR activities (including TV and print coverage). I also bring more than 25 years of senior level retail management with retailers, including Ralph Lauren, Ann Taylor, Express, Macy’s and Pacific Sunwear. n Glen Rasmussen, attorney: I’ve served on numerous boards in La Jolla including: Coastal Access and Parking; La Jolla Town Council (president); La Jolla Community Planning Association; Planned District Ordinance; Promote La Jolla (interim entity); La Jolla Community Center (board Glen chair); and Kiwanis Club Rasmussen (president). I believe in building consensus and majority decisionmaking (to get things done.) La Jolla is now in a position to achieve a successful vision for business owners and land/building owners, in order to serve its residents’ needs. I believe in the use of logic and expression rather than coercion and accusation.

I bring the La V reputation and stature to the table — linking arms cohesively with all of the merchants. My prior career experience as a business owner and leader in the hospitality field, as well as my understanding of marketing, are uniquely appropriate to assume a role on LJVMA board. My vision is to support the association in building more Village engagement in local programs and initiatives that further the reputation of La Jolla as a world-class destination. My close relationship with the San Diego Tourism Authority and its PR engine, plus the La Valencia PR team, will enable me to communicate the Village features to a wide audience. 1) My role as Director of Sales & Marketing for La Valencia allows me to leverage strong relationships with the San Diego Tourism Authority, and gives me a national and international platform to work closely with public relations and media representatives to showcase La Jolla, a destination that can parallel Beverly Hills in attracting the discerning, luxury-tier visitor. 2) The beauty of an open forum is that we get to listen to each other and carefully weigh our respective opinions. This being said, I need to learn more, gain insight from all business owners to understand points of views as well as objectively review any new research or technology that is presented.

I know that some parking meters now can be paid for by cell phone, and you get an alert if your meter is running out, so no more dashing out of a restaurant or dropping your purchases if your 1- or 2-hour time limit is up. As a past business owner, I know that if my customer can’t park and come into my business — I won’t be able to thrive. Our job at LJMA is to ensure that business THRIVES and no one on the board will jeopardize that primary goal. 3) It can’t be all about funding, it needs to start grassroots with us all walking the walk — picking up trash, hosing down sidewalks, and sweeping up debris. If each of us is involved in making our one street the most beautiful street in La Jolla — that energy will fuel us to do even more with the public areas. Energy begets energy, if we put all of our efforts into our own areas we then will enthusiastically be able to support projects and fundraising to advance our goals to our medians, our parking lots, and our signage. Pride of place at the end of the day is really the final solution.

www.lajollalight.com 1) Merchants should support the upcoming banner program that will fund street and sidewalk cleaning, but every merchant should also develop responsibility to keep their own sidewalks and gutters free of trash, gum and cigarette butts. Provide trash containers for your customers! The LJVMA is primarily responsible for developing programs for business development. That is what members of the BID pay their tax assessments for. I would encourage more events not only to attract customers to the Village, but as a means for providing funds for business development, such as a fiesta or sporting event like the Roughwater Swim. How about bringing back “Off the Wall” to benefit LJVMA, which of course would put the revenues back into the Village? Other similar events benefit nonprofits, including the La Jolla Historical Society and the Art & Wine Festival. Little Italy has its own crew to keep its streets clean, landscaping maintained and curbside enhancements, but Little Italy has not only BID funding, but besides its events it has (or had) two other sources of funding that La Jolla does not have — a Maintenance Assessment District and Redevelopment funding. People don’t want to pay more taxes for these kinds of things, but they cost money, so a viable source are events that not only attract people enhancing sales, but provide funds from admissions or other revenues. 2) No, not unless a majority of BID members support it. La Jolla businesses are very sensitive to attracting La Jolla residents. They do not want to discourage our

LA JOLLA LIGHT - september 11, 2014 - Page A9

residents from patronizing our businesses and many perceive that paid parking would do that. 3) This question was answered, above. However, the City of San Diego must do better in referring discretionary matters such as color, signage and, as a new program, “architectural appearance” to local groups like the Community Planning Association and its subcommittees, to coordinate, in the future, the look of La Jolla. n Marshall Ravden, Finch’s Wine Bar & Bistro: As a long-time resident and small business owner in the Village I’m strongly aligned with LJVMA’s mission to promote and enhance the business environment in our community. As a semi-retired surgeon, I also bring some 40 years experience working in Marshall the medical field. Ravden 1) Hold quarterly Villagefocused events that will attract visitors — like previous years’ Haute Summer Nights — and be consistent with holding those events. Develop a calendar of category-specific monthly merchant events like a restaurant crawl where a group of restaurants get together and offer a “progressive dinner” of tastings/bites or a ladies retail night where a group of boutiques offer a discount for the night or a gift shopping night (each month something different). LJVMA could help to support something like this — but consistency is key — same day/night each month- maybe first Tuesdays? People must

ask themselves “What is happening in La Jolla this month that might be fun to attend?” 2) I do not support paid on-street parking as it will negatively affect the businesses in the area. 3) Improve the surface quality of our streets and sidewalks. Make it easier for businesses to install tubs of flowers and other plantings to improve their frontage. Make it easier for restaurants and cafes to have sidewalk seating areas. Encourage stricter enforcement of rules governing littering and clearing animal waste. n Terrence Underwood, Grande Colonial Hotel: Having directed operations of the Grande Colonial for nearly 15 years and operations at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club for six years, I’m very familiar with the business climate in the Village. I have prior experience as a board Terrence member of the La Jolla BID, Underwood and while doing so participated as a member of the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance subcommittee. I have prior experience as a board member for the San Diego Hotel Motel Association, California Hotel Lodging Association and San Diego North Convention & Visitors Bureau. I would work toward improving cooperation within the business community to maximize the benefit of our individual resources. 1) The Village is seldom thought of as a shopping and dining district. There is little

that unifies the various and disparate businesses other than geographic location. Working toward having a more unifying message and more unifying themes will make the Village itself a destination for shopping and dining rather than having customers who come primarily to patronize one specific store or restaurant. 2) I do not support adding paid on-street parking. 3) If each business would take greater care and ownership of the sidewalk, planter, gutters, etc., right in front of their own businesses we could make a big impact. If everyone thinks that the trash, gum and debris needs to be cleaned by someone else, it will never get cleaned. The larger issues like broken sidewalks and decrepit streets will take much greater effort in working with the City. n Richard Walker, Richard Walker’s Pancake House: Before opening the pancake house in the heart of the Village, I graduated with honors in business from the University of Iowa. Out of college, I worked for 12 years as a process improvement advisory consultant for Ernst & Richard Young, LLP, where I served Walker on several committees focused on large social events. I’ve traveled to more than 60 countries and so have great respect for diversity and different perspectives.

Caught on Camera

La Jolla Light reinstates online community photo contest

aught on Camera community photo contests are coming back to La Jolla Light. Each month, the Light will feature a community photo contest on lajollalight.com The theme for the contest’s revival debut in September is “Best Travel or Vacation Photo.” Readers are invited to upload photos of their favorite travel shot, which could be up the road or across the world. Go to lajollalight.com and click on the online contest photo player to enter your submission. Enter as often as you like. See site for rules and guidelines.

Readers are encouraged to view photo entries and vote for their favorite photo. La Jolla Light editors will determine the monthly winner based predominantly on the photo receiving the most votes, so get your friends to click on the contest link to vote for your photo. Each month, the winning photo will be published in La Jolla Light and the winning photographer will receive a $100 gift certificate to Bijou French Bistro in La Jolla.

From Merchants Candidates, A9 In transitioning from the corporate world to the entrepreneurial world, I managed a 12-week construction schedule turning the once-vacant Forever Fondue space into the anchor tenant of 909 Prospect St., funding the endeavor on my own. Only three months into operations, RWPH has donated hundreds of dollars to charity. My contributions to LJVMA will be transforming what some view as problems into opportunities. 1) LJVMA should embrace a coordinated marketing campaign that penetrates outside of the Village and beyond San Diego County to build awareness about the Village and our incredible shopping, dining, convenience and natural beauty. 2) I do not support paid on-street parking. Instead, LJVMA can explore less invasive ways to raise additional money. For example, tasteful recycling trash cans about the Village that demonstrate to visitors and locals alike our sensitivity to the environment while using the revenues for marketing. On said recycling trash cans, we can rent ad space for local businesses. 3) We can challenge our local business owners themselves to take more responsibly for the vicinity of their business/storefront. Going a step further, we can divide and assign small sections/blocks of the Village to members of the Board. Drive ownership to the LJVMA Board to create responsibility between us and business owners in each of our small sections. Piece by piece, we will improve the cleanliness and appearance of the Village together. u

n School district superintendent opposes parade name, threatens pulling student participation From Christmas Parade, A1

San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Cindy Marten urges LJCPA trustees to deny approval of street closures for the La Jolla Christmas Parade until organizers change the name to something that is more inclusive. Marten said she might consider asking the school board to pull student participation from the event if the name remains as is. political opinions.” Trustee Janie Emerson said she is “sympathetic to a discussion of the name,” though was ultimately “uncomfortable voting on a motion that includes things not on the agenda.” LJCPA’s Traffic & Transportation (T&T) subcommittee unanimously approved street closures and detour plans for the annual parade — set for 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7 — during the group’s July meeting (closures are

from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.). LJCPA trustee Fran Zimmerman, who pulled the item from the LJCPA’s August consent agenda, noted that The Washington Post will no longer use the racially insensitive term “Redskins” when referring to its local NFL team in editorials. “The United Nations has asked The Netherlands to please rethink its centuries-old Christmas tradition of Black Peter, Santa Claus’s righthand man, in Holland,” she said, noting the

feeling of many that the icon perpetuates racist stereotypes. “I’m not a big advocate of times changing, but I can tell you they have,” she said.

Marten noted that the names of most district-wide school performances have been changed from “Christmas” to “holiday” out of respect for non-Christian students. A former La Jolla Country Day School student, Marten suggested that students in the district could help come up with an alternative name as part of the “critical discourse” encouraged by the Common Core State Standards initiative. Many schools have marching bands and color guards that participate in the parade, including Standley Middle School in UTC. La Jolla High School added its own marching-band program this fall. Although speaking as a private citizen, Marten cautioned, “I will consider going to my board in the future and making recommendations for whether or not it’s appropriate for our schools to be participating in parades that have names that are not as inclusive as we might like.” La Jolla Shores Association board Chair Tim Lucas, who attended the meeting, cautioned several times that the LJCPA agenda only noticed the closure of Girard Avenue and several side streets for discussion. “Everything else is off-topic” and “beyond our scope,” Lucas said, adding, “Your agenda noticing is defective if you consider name changes and all these

Keith Wahl speaks in favor of changing the name of the La Jolla Christmas Parade as LJCPA board Chair Joe LaCava looks on. the parade until organizers broke off to form their own nonprofit 501(c)3 organization for tax purposes — he had long been opposed to the name. Nevertheless, Weiss said he was conflicted about whether to vote for the street closures. Although he approves of closing Kline Street for Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church’s annual “So Fine on Kline” Fall Festival — a religious event on a public street — he said the La Jolla Christmas Parade is larger in scale, and plays a more significant role in the community. “I was shamed by Ms. Marten — what she said about considering not having schools participate in this process because (the name) is not inclusive,” Weiss said. “It made me think about places in the world where people don’t have inclusiveness. This shouldn’t be one of them, and I am really torn because one of my principles says it’s a Traffic & Transportation issue and has nothing to do with the questions being raised, but the questions being raised are part of the fabric of our society.” Longtime parade organizer Ann Kerr Bache has consistently refused to meet with name-change proponents — as recommended last year by the City of San Diego’s Human Relations Commission — or to discuss the matter with La Jolla Light.

Warren Heenan, who handles crowd control and equestrian contingents for the parade, attended the meeting to answer questions, noting that the parade does not exclude anyone from participating, regardless of religious affiliation. The parade is largely funded by private dollars, and does not receive any money from the city. However, Weiss said he was uncomfortable with parade organizers’ refusal to even have a conversation about the name. “The people who are organizing (the parade) … are doing a community service but they are being intransigent about this question,” he said. “Something has to be done.” Trustee Rob Whittemore favored denying the street closures to send a message to event organizers. “We have a private organization using a public facility and about the only way we have any leverage to get the organization to sort of come (in line) with the modern times and become more politically correct … is by denying the street closures,” he said. Trustee Dan Courtney countered that the LJCPA should not be used as a “tool” for Singer and his group to “pursue their agenda.” “I don’t think it’s appropriate, and personally, I think it’s really sad that it’s come to this,” Courteny said. “The

Planning Association trustee Cindy Greatrex displays a map of the La Jolla Christmas Parade that she said San Diego Police use as a model for other civic gatherings throughout the city. ‘If we’re sticking to (a discussion of) street closures, I cannot come up with a reason why we would not pass this through,’ she said.

Christmas Parade is a great thing. It makes everybody happy and it should not be attacked like this.” In the end, a motion by Zimmerman to deny the street closures failed. A separate motion by LJCPA Vice-President Bob Steck to approve the closures passed, with trustees Whittemore, Zimmerman, Weiss, Robert Mapes and Helen Boyden in opposition. In July, the La Jolla Village Merchants

Association voted to ask that La Jolla Christmas Parade organizers change the name to one that does not reference a particular religion. u n To read more coverage from La Jolla Community Planning Association’s September meeting, visit lajollalight.com later this week or pick up a copy of the Sept. 18 La Jolla Light.

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS Renovations for Rec Center centennial in 2015 underway Replacement of old flooring throughout La Jolla Rec Center began last week and is expected to be complete by next week, La Jolla Recreation Council (LJRC) board chair Doug Fitzgerald said. The 1950s tile flooring will be replaced with durable, dual-tone vinyl flooring paid for by the city and rec center funds, he said. “It’s nicer looking and will last a little longer,” Fitzgerald said. “It’s really going to perk up the old place.” Anticipating the Irving Gill designed facility’s centennial celebration in July 2015, the LJRC has requested city funding to repaint its exterior. Fitzgerald said LJRC also hopes to replace fixtures in the rec center bathrooms and replace chain-link fencing around the perimeter with decorative wrought iron — each expected to cost at least $75,0000. To donate to next year’s centennial celebration, contact Fitzgerald at (310) 3836633 or Rec Center Director Nicole Otjens at (858) 552-1658.

The property, nicknamed Foxhole, was relisted Sept. 4 for $5.95 million, according to the Multiple Listing Service. Copley, formerly publisher of The San Diego UnionTribune, died of a heart attack in November 2012. The home, site of many lavish events, was first listed April 2013 for $7.95 million. It was later reduced to $6.95 million before the listing expired. The residence is a 15,309-square-foot mansion with seven bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. The building, originally a small home built in the 1970s, now boasts grand formal rooms with high ceilings and chandeliers, and salons with wood paneling. It has eight fireplaces. Greg Noonan, the listing agent for the property, said there’s been a consistent level of interest, and he believes the property will sell at the new price point.

Coastal Access & Parking Board faces tough decision on use of La Jolla Parking and Transportation Funds La Jolla

Coastal Access and Parking

Specializing in New Home Construction & Remodeling

LJCAP member Sheila Fortune lamented, “With all the brilliant minds (working on

Finding free parking in the Village of La Jolla can be difficult during peak hours. LJCAP member Sheila Fortune lamented, “With all the brilliant minds (working on this) no one has been able to meet that intent. Is it going to take 30 years to figure out a plan?” Of the submitted suggestions, the one that gained the most traction with coastal commission analysts was to “Fund the startup of a Village shuttle that circulates between parking lots and garages and various destinations in La Jolla.” Fortune asked whether a golf-cart system could be implemented to avoid large buses,

and the idea is to get people here, but also get them around once they are here.” He added, “There needs to be a way to move people that cuts down on parking, that’s why a shuttle is (a requirement), to encourage that alternative transportation mindset that not everyone needs to drive to La Jolla.” Dibden-Brown suggested the board complete a request for information, a nonbinding proposal to see how much some of their ideas would cost to implement and what is available.

which Llerandi affirmed, because “it will bunch of people not driving on the street. …

By Ashley Mackin After meeting with representatives from the City of San Diego and the California Coastal Commission (CCC), the La Jolla Coastal Access & Parking Board (LJCAP), has a tough decision to make. The board has been tasked with implementing the twofold La Jolla Coastal Access Parking Plan to alleviate vehicle congestion in the Village. This involves finding a) short-term and/or long-term parking and traffic circulation related programs, and b) a shuttle system with an off-site parking reservoir. Finding the shuttle and reservoir system portion unfeasible and unsustainable, the board submitted a list of alternatives that were reviewed by Meredith Dibden-Brown, overseer of the La Jolla Coastal Parking & Transportation Fund and Alex Llerandi, a

CCC coastal program analyst. After reviewing the suggestions, DibdenBrown, Llerandi and the LJCAP board met Sept. 2 to discuss their options going forward. Chiefly, whether to continue to pursue and suggest an alternative that meets the goal of the shuttle/reservoir system or amend the governing document so the money — from the La Jolla Parking and Transportation fund, gathered largely from developer impact fees and interest collected by the CCC since the 1970s — could be used in other ways. “Our view for a very long time has been that spending the money on the shuttle would be pouring it down the drain,” said board member Ray Weiss. “(The money) would be gone in a year and it didn’t pass the common sense test. We were hoping that we could propose something good for the community … we are trying to make the place better.” However, the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) dictate that 50 percent of available funds, approximately $275,000, must be spent on a shuttle/ reservoir system, however, Llerandi explained, “It might be possible to come up with a plan that doesn’t mirror exactly what was in the MOU, but the key part is that it has to meet the intent of it.”

www.lajollalight.com Other explorations into ways to meet the shuttle requirement included incorporating one into the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit project — an extension of the trolley system that reaches University City, with expected service in 2019 — to bring people from the nearest stop into La Jolla. Llerandi reported there were no plans to integrate a shuttle at the time of the meeting. Should they decide to find an alternative for the shuttle/reservoir system, they would need to formally propose a program or combination of programs to the CCC. Otherwise, the board would need to begin proceedings to change the language of the MOU so the funds could be applied to another program to alleviate traffic. “(To change the) MOU would require an amendment to the Local Coastal Program (LCP) to change the ratio or the use of the money,” Llerandi said. Amending the LCP, he continued, “is not going to be the easiest process and it’s not one we would encourage,” and he noted any suggestion that does not incorporate public

transportation would be “a tough sell.” He explained that the process starts at the City Planning Department. Once it approves the proposed change, it goes to the City Council for approval. From there, the Planning Department and the City

Attorney’s office file an application to CCC analysts, who review the application and either suggest changes or recommend approval to the Coastal Commission. “We would be starting over,” said Fortune, noting the board has been working on

finding an amenable way to spend the money for 30 years. Funding for the La Jolla Coastal Access Parking Plan primarily came from developer impact fees collected during the 1970s and 1980s and the half dedicated to the shuttle system is in an interest-bearing account. A portion of the half not dedicated to the shuttle has since been used to fund discounted parking passes for Village employees. The nonshuttle funding also previously paid for bus passes, but as MTA stopped selling discounted passes, so did LJCAP. “It’s not doing anyone any good to have that money sitting (in a bank) collecting dust, and we may have disagreements as to how the money should be spent, but the goal is to get it spent on something that would benefit the community and not just sit there,” Llerandi said. u n The La Jolla Coastal Access & Parking Board next meets 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7 at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org/cap.html

United They Stand

United Nations group to hold gala at UC San Diego n San Diego one of three U.S. cities with U.N. ‘consultative status’

United Nations delegate and La Jolla resident Cindy Greatrex poses at the Balboa Park office of the United Nations Association of San Diego. Pat Sherman Association of the United States, San Diego Chapter (UNASD). Alongside New York and Washington, D.C., San Diego is one of three U.S. cities whose associations are conferred a consultative status allowing members to represent the U.S. on topics of global

importance during U.N. summits. UNASD has about 180 members, and can send as many as 20 delegates to a given conference. “In general, as a delegate I can speak on any topic that the U.N. covers, which is pretty broad — (including)

By Pat Sherman here is perhaps nothing quite as hypnotic — or humbling — as entering a room to the murmur of more than 100 languages being spoken at once, all conveying varying perspectives on matters crucial to future of humanity. That’s how La Jollan Cindy Greatrex, a periodic delegate to United Nations summits and conferences (and former president of the La Jolla Town Council) describes it. “Just like the Olympics, English and French are the (most common) languages the U.N. uses,” along with Russian, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic, Greatrex said, noting that because some attendees are from countries where English or the other five official U.N languages are secondary, or not spoken at all, oration must be translated and piped through hearing devices. Formed in 1945 as an intergovernmental organization of 51 “member states” — each hoping to prevent another conflagration on the scale of World War II — U.N. membership now includes 193 countries. Greatrex is a member of the United Nations

peacekeeping, education, health care, human rights and children’s rights — at any U.N. convention, anywhere in the world,” said Greatrex, who works in sales for the telemedicine industry, which uses software to diagnose people remotely. “Quite often we’re just sharing with other countries what’s going on in the U.S., in terms of our economic and social affairs,” she said. “As the name implies, we’re trying to come up with global standards on a very baseline level to reduce war, reduce poverty, promote prosperity and protect the planet — things that every country theoretically wants.” U.N. association members around the world are typically invited to become a delegate, but may apply to speak at a conference dealing with a topic in which they have expertise. Greatrex serves on the U.N.’s Millennium Development Goals committee. UNASD will hold its annual gala 6 p.m., Friday, Oct. 24 at UC San Diego’s International House (I-House) to coincide with United Nations Day, the date in 1945 when the U.S., U.K., France, Republic of China and Soviet Union came together to ratify the body’s charter. This year’s theme is Promoting Global Citizenship and Youth Engagement through the organization’s Model United Nation’s program, noted UNASD President and CEO, Bettina Hausmann.

www.lajollalight.com “As you can imagine, it’s people like me in their mid-40s and up who usually go and discuss these subjects, but we have to get our youth more involved because they will carry on the big issues that we’re unable to tackle,” said Hausmann, a South Park resident who has attended U.N. summits around the world. Blair Sadler, past president and CEO of Rady Children’s Hospital, will be honored during the event. There will be a bar and tray-passed hors d’oeuvres. Blair Sadler “The purpose of the event is to bring speakers and people together to highlight what the U.N. has done over the past year and what their plans are for the next year,” Greatrex said. “People can come to the gala and learn about the U.N. and, if they want, get involved.”

Birth of a global citizen

Greatrex was introduced to the U.N. as a young girl growing up in Riverdale, an upper middle-class neighborhood in The Bronx area of New York City. Her grandmother, Mollie, worked as a political analyst for the American Jewish Joint Distribution Commission (JDC), a Jewish relief organization whose founding focus was broader, and included assisting political prisoners, refugees and those displaced by World War II. Greatrex’s grandmother was an associate of Swedish diplomat Dag Hammarskjöld, the U.N.’s second Secretary-General (spokesperson and leader). The JDC collaborated with several U.N. agencies at the time, and its Manhattan office was a short walk from the U.N.’s Secretariat Building (global headquarters). “My grandmother would walk me to the U.N. on a regular basis and explain that the Secretariat was where the important affairs of the world were being decided on,” Greatrex recalled. “We used to have lunch in the private delegates dining room, which was known for its spectacular views and mediocre food. Children were not allowed in there, but for some reason I was let in. …

The United Nation’s motto: ‘We the people … a stronger UN, for a better world.’

This definitely left an impression on me.” As a young girl half a world away, Hausmann was forging a hunger for gender equality and women’s rights in the factories of East Germany (before the fall of the Berlin Wall), where women’s equality was constitutionally guaranteed and tied to achieving socialist objectives. “I experienced equality to a fault,” Hausmann said. “Every year, beginning in the fifth grade, we had to go into the manufacturing Bettina Hausmann companies for five or six weeks and work there. I know how to wire a house. I know how to build a house. I how to lay a foundation.” In March, Hausmann attended the U.N.’s 58th session of the Commission on the Status of Women at U.N. headquarters in New York City. “This one was particularly important,” she said, noting that eight Millennium Development Goals established by the U.N. in 2000 — including tackling extreme poverty, maternity health and HIV/AIDS — have not been solved and require adoption of “post2015” strategies. It was also discussed that violence against women around the world needs to be better addressed, she said. Although some have criticized the United Nations as being elitist or ineffective at handling international conflicts, Greatrex said dealing with anything on a global scale is a slow, daunting process. “There’s never going to be a time when you’re going to have massive change very quickly, but I think if you look at how we deal with humanitarian affairs alone, through U.N. convoys and education, that things are better than they’ve been — cleaner water, food aide. Education for children in third world countries didn’t exist even 10 years ago. … These are things that in the last 20 years have really improved the quality of life for people all over the world.” As far as its peacekeeping mission — the U.N.’s core objective in 1945 — Greatrex said the organization continues to seek disarmament around the world. “It’s not easy because there are these groups on the radar, like Isis, that nobody would have even thought of years ago,” she said. “When you look at World Wars I and II, even Vietnam, people were on different sides of the line and they fought each other. That whole premise has changed. It’s completely different with IEDs and fright groups coming up that aren’t even specifically attached to a country … but I think in general the U.N. is doing all they can to promote counter-terrorism and to promote sanctions for those countries that are (enabling terrorism).” Hausmann said the predominance of U.N.-like intergovernmental organizations in works of science fiction, such as the Galactic Federation (“Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”), United Federation of Planets (“Star Trek”) and Galactic Republic/Empire (“Star Wars”) suggest an enduring and intuitive need for such structures. “It seems even the filmmakers have accepted the fact that there will be a body where planets or galaxies come together to tackle certain issues — peace and scarcity of resources,” Hausmann said. “For me, I cannot imagine a world without the U.N.” u

Find friends and fresh fare at Finch’s Bistro & Wine Bar By Marti Gacioch “Civilized” is how diners frequently describe Finch’s Bistro & Wine Bar on Girard Avenue in La Jolla. “It’s a nice, quiet spot where people can come to have a conversation over wine or dinner,” owner Linda Ravden said. She explained that until she saw the space she transformed into Finch’s three years ago, she had never considered opening a restaurant. “It reminded me of Parisian bistros and I saw a lot of possibilities,” Ravden said. “It had two separate dining rooms and La Jolla didn’t have a wine bar then, so we made one room into a wine bar that seats 16.” Next, Ravden focused on creating a bistro for local residents. She wanted it to be a place they could meet and feel they were receiving good value for their money. “Our idea was to offer up-market dining, but for casual dining prices,” she said. Ravden and her husband were both born in South Africa and are world travelers with an adventurous spirit for food and cooking. Their menu reflects an eclectic mix of international cuisine and personal family recipes. Their South African Bobotie is one dish not often seen on local menus. “It’s like a Malaysian shepherd’s pie with

Ahi Poke Wontons, Osso Bucco En Croute, and Crab Avocado Sopes ground lamb and vegetables topped with béchamel and served with jasmine rice with raisins and a homemade mango chutney,” Ravden said. “Diners also love our Shrimp Portofino with giant butterfly shrimp in olive oil, served with marinated cherry tomato/avocado salad and crispy Yukon Gold potatoes with lemon garlic sauce,” Ravden said. Their eclectic menu is a big draw for diners, but the local camaraderie keeps patrons coming back. Finch’s daily events also help create a lively, bistro ambience:

Treasured scarf becomes tribute to 9/11 tragedy “One eye sees, the other feels.” — Paul Klee, artist This unique piece of art touches my soul. The artwork itself is actually a large silk scarf with a brightly colored montage of New York City’s landmarks hand-drawn by artist John Rombola. It was given to me while working at New York magazine in 1993. At the time, I was only 25 years old and the magazine was celebrating 25 years since its inception. A group of us were given the scarves as commemorative mementos to toast 25 years of the magazine’s success. The scarf was just a scarf to me back then, so I tucked it away into a drawer and forgot about it. After Sept. 11, the scarf suddenly became a treasured keepsake of my beloved NYC. It was the last thing I had depicting the Twin Towers standing tall and proud. I took the wrinkled scarf to The Artful Framer in La Jolla and had it steamed, blocked and framed. It hangs in our home, not only as an inspirational collage for my family to enjoy, but a meaningful reminder of the tragedy of 9/11. Lorri Sabban La Jolla

Case of unfair ticket for neighbor’s off-leash dog

As we dropped our kids off for the first day of school, we noticed the following sign on the fence of Bird Rock Elementary. I think it’s fair to assume that the city and school district “sign designer” disabled the spelling-and-grammar check when creating these. This reminds me of the pictures the late Johnny Carson would show the audience on “The Tonight Show.” I’m assuming this sign is used at multiple school sites across the county — spelling and grammar errors unnoticed.

young man stated, “I need to see your identification.” Like all of us, Nancy didn’t bring her ID to walk her dog, so this man followed her into her home through her garage. I tried to engage him in discussion of the circumstances, but he told me that since this was not my business he didn’t have to talk to me. He followed Nancy into her home and issued a ticket for not having Pearl on a leash. He was clearly there to issue a ticket, not to assess the situation. Frankly, I was stunned by his arrogance. Yes, he was legally correct. Pearl was not on a leash. But I assure you it is scary to meet people with power who are without human compassion. As a retired attorney I do recall that compassion is also part of justice. I generally support the leash law in La Jolla, though it is a challenge to me that we lack dog parks and trash receptacles to assist us in caring for our dogs. I do understand there is resentment toward dogs and dog owners in La Jolla. It is my humble opinion that, instead of threatening people and their loving dogs, the real war should be on dog owners who don’t clean up after their dogs! The 90 percent of us who DO clean up are just as grossed out as anyone when we see an abandoned poop pile. But as for Nancy and Pearl, they are a great team who brighten our days. We should embrace them, not threaten them. I hope we can let Nancy and Pearl preserve their independent walks without the threat of fines and Pearl’s removal from Nancy. Unlike the sad young man from Animal Control, we are better than that, I hope. Glenda M. Rothberg La Jolla

Cleaning Casa Beach would harm ecosystem The proposed “cleaning” of Casa Beach during the summer months would disrupt the nutrient-rich natural beach conditions that contribute to the ecological health of nearshore waters. The ecology of the beach and adjacent waters provide a wealth of nutrients for the spiny lobsters so sought by sport divers during the lobster season. Shame on members of the La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory committee (LJPB) for their failure to consider all of the other species involved in the vicinity of Casa Beach. The unique La Jolla harbor seal rookery is well established at Casa Beach and the seals can be viewed there year-round. Use of the beach by the seals differs in different seasons, and this time of year, the best seal viewing is late at night and at first light in the morning. Fecal matter deposited on the beach by the seals during the night becomes part of the beach nutrient load not to be disturbed, however, one might not wish to let children play in or ingest this sand. Included with the sand-sanitizing proposal by LJPB is the old, rehashed idea of cutting holes through the seawall at Casa. Long ago this idea was dismissed for various reasons (including public safety), and the beach sand has long since become stabilized at its current level.

It was 7:30 a.m. on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. We three neighbors ran into one another as we walked our dogs. We began chatting in our shared driveway as our dogs waited together, peacefully, while we visited. Suddenly, an Animal Control van pulled into our driveway, the first such van I have ever seen in La Jolla. A young man got out, walked up to us and asked “Whose dog is that?” Our neighbor, Nancy, acknowledged that the offleash dog, Pearl, was her dog. Nancy is 79, and suffers from multiple sclerosis. She requires a motorized wheelchair. Her illness also precludes her managing a leash. The only way she and 11-year-old Pearl can walk together outside is if Pearl stays near Nancy’s mechanical wheelchair. Everyone in this neighborhood is acquainted with Nancy and Pearl. It is always a better day when we run into them on their walks together. We know this is the only time they are in sunshine. My theory has always been that Pearl must have been God’s special gift to Nancy because Pearl is perfectly behaved. Without a single word of conversation the

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com

Crime(s) at Cove need reporting I have been watching the glacial progress in the construction project at La Jolla Cove. It’s like watching grass grow. Some days you might see one person sort of working, maybe looking at a drawing. Many days you see no one working. At this rate, the construction project might be completed in about two years. The Empire State Building was built in a little more than a year. The Cove project is relatively simple. In addition, they received two dedicated parking spaces at the Cove so more people can park and do nothing? What are they doing in that trailer, playing cards? Where does the city find these contractors and why to they fail to manage them so that the work gets done expeditiously? Doug Burleigh Clairemont P.S. The message below has been posted around the Cove. I wondered if you could publicize this, as it’s a threat to those who use the Cove. It was reported to the police, but I don’t expect they’re going to “jump right on it.” Warning to Swimmers: We have some car thieves operating at the Cove. On Thursday, Sept. 4, between 3 and 4 p.m., a swimmer’s black SDSU backpack was stolen from under the green table on the deck. The contents included car keys, a cell phone, etc. When the owner walked to her car parked on Silverado at Exchange. Her car

(2005 Silver Audi A4) was gone! The car key was just a simple metal key, not electronic, so the car could not have been easily located by pressing an alarm or trunk button. Her wallet was in her car. When she called her bank, someone had already tried to use her debit card twice, including the CVS in La Jolla. It’s possible that the thieves saw her park and walk away with her swim bag. They then could have followed her to the Cove and stolen her bag when she went out swimming. Just before the victim went out to swim, two people had arrived and sat down on chairs at the rear corner of the deck. They were a heavy-set Caucasian couple, around 40. The guy had long brown hair; he was wearing a white tank top, extensive (mostly black) tattoos on his arms, and a large scar inside his left bicep. They may not have had anything to do with it, but they may have. People of the same description have been noticed at the Shores also. If you see them around, watch them. At the same time on Thursday, another guy reported someone had gone into his swim bag and taken his car keys, too. Try not to leave your car keys in your bag. Look around before you leave your car to see if someone is watching you. If you see someone who seems out of place on the deck area, take a photo of them and let them see you do it.

could access the bluffs and discourage the birds and seals. Unhappily, it was a small, wienie gate that was frequently closed and the (dicey) path down was problematic. I have lived here since 1960 and until the fence went up, never noticed an odor. I think if a six-foot-wide gate were installed and some steps carved out instead of a treacherous slide then more people could access the area with less city liability and our birds and seals could find a more peaceful haunt. P.S. Why a gate at all? Robyn Willsey-Morton La Jolla Village

OBITUARIES

Sonja Khoury 1938 – 2014

AWARD WINNING AND PIONEERING INTERIOR DESIGNER Sonja Alexandroff Khoury, of La Jolla, CA, formerly of Southfield and Detroit, MI, died on August 29, 2014, after a long and valiant battle with cancer. She was 76 years old and lived every one of those years as one of the kindest and most caring and loving people that anyone has ever known. Sonja, known as Sonny to many, was born on April 1, 1938, in Detroit, MI, to Mary and Peter Alexandroff and was younger sister to Anne.

She attended Pershing High School where she was a model student and graduated with Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa distinction. While in high school she was the state of Michigan champion in dramatic reading, played piano and excelled in other artistic endeavors particularly as a painter and singing as a member of the renowned Kenneth Jewell Chorale. As a child and into her teen years, she greatly enjoyed trips to Chatham, Ontario (Canada), where she had numerous aunts, uncles and cousins who lived on and worked actively on family farms. Sonja attended the University of Michigan and graduated in 1959 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Design and Education. She also sang with the University of Michigan Choral Society. It was in Ann Arbor that she met the love of her life, husband Jamil, to whom she was wed for 54 years. They were married in 1960 and began their life together in San Francisco and Los Angeles where

Sonja taught junior high students, many of whom were new to the United States and did not speak English. Her patience, love and caring for those students was legendary, and the ingenuity of her teaching methods helped many of them to become proficient in English. Sonja and Jamil shared many great memories with family and friends in California, driving up and down the coast, enjoying the pristine beaches and relative simplicity of life in California in the early 1960s. They moved back to Michigan in 1965, just after Todd’s birth, where they had daughter Kim in 1970. They settled in Southfield where Sonja immersed herself in her children’s life and built a beautiful home in addition to volunteering with groups such as Junior League and school parent teacher associations. She also sat on the board of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. While living in Southfield, she was delighted to be closer to her parents, sister and nieces in addition to the many relatives she still had

nearby in Canada. In 1977, Sonja and her family moved to La Jolla, CA, where she and Jamil started a successful model home interior design, furniture and flooring business known as Designers Showcase. With Designers Showcase Sonja became known as a pioneer in creating design showrooms servicing trade customers in San Diego, and her legacy in that business is still felt today in San Diego’s design community. In La Jolla, she successfully balanced raising her family with excelling in her career, winning numerous industry awards for interior design projects throughout California and Arizona, most notably several San Diego Building Industry Association Sales and Marketing (SAM) awards for excellence in interior design. She took pride in her children’s academic and athletic careers, hosting the Yale and Penn collegiate tennis teams for many years and passionately supporting both schools and programs. Following

her retirement from business, she tutored elementary school students in La Jolla and continued to immerse herself in the lives of her children; granddaughters, Anna, Abby and Alex; and grandsons, Peter and Charlie. She enjoyed tennis, power walking up to the Mt. Soledad cross in La Jolla and reading and spending time with Jamil on the beach at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, where they shared so many wonderful memories together and with their children and grandchildren. Sonja traveled abroad extensively, memorably on a family trip to Europe during the summer of 1985; with Jamil at various times to Hawaii and the Caribbean; and most recently with her husband, daughter and grandchildren to Italy. In addition, Sonja tirelessly traveled across the country for many years to help her children, her daughter-in-law, Laurie, and grandchildren with anything and everything and was always available

for her family and friends in person or by phone for as long as anyone would need. Her survivors include husband, Jamil Khoury of La Jolla, CA; sister, Anne Moloney of Beverly Hills, MI; daughter, Kim Khoury of Wellesley, MA; son, Todd Khoury and his wife, Laurie, of Greenwich, CT; grandchildren, Alex and Charlie Coleman of Wellesley, MA, and Peter, Anna and Abby Khoury of Greenwich, CT; and numerous cousins, nieces nephews, brothers and sisters-in-law, all of whom have been greatly touched by her life and will miss her dearly. In accordance with her wishes, private, family-only services will be held in La Jolla, CA, and in Michigan at times to be determined. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund in her name benefitting children in need is being established. Family and friends will be notified once the fund is operational.

Cooking

Champ

Bird Rock resident Jim Stark with ‘Food Fighters’ host Adam Richman (‘Man v. Food’). More online: nbc.com/food-fighters Photos by Eddy Chen / NBC

Bird Rocker bakes, soufflés his way through NBC’s ‘Food Fighters’ finale By Pat Sherman ird Rock resident Jim Stark pit his culinary skills against five top chefs for the season finale of NBC’s new cooking competition series, “Food Fighters,” which aired 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9 on NBC. The home-cookin’ La Jollan prepared five of his signature dishes for the show, each inspired by the recipes of family matriarchs — which professional chefs attempted to replicate, surpassing the originals in flavor and presentation. A native of Grenville, Miss., Stark moved to La Jolla’s Bird Rock neighborhood a yearand-a-half ago with wife, Diane (the couple has lived there part-time for nine years). “I brought dishes that ranged from things

my great-grandmother, grandmother and mother all had a hand in,” he said. “I grew up right in the middle of the Mississippi Delta, so the first one was fried catfish with an Asian coleslaw. Then, of course, I did my special barbecue ribs — the recipe for the sauce was from my great-grandmother. Then I made my grandmother’s chocolate soufflé cake with mascarpone whipping cream and a Grand Marnier reduction; steak with a French burgundy sauce and sweet potato fries; and, last but not least, a cheese-andpancetta grit soufflé.” If the recipes sound a bit fanciful for a Deep South dinner table (or a man who made his living in the action-sports apparel industry) that’s due to the influence of

Stark’s son, J.D., who started off on a culinary track and now works for Google. “My history with cooking was basically a lot of barbecuing but … I started learning from him and just fell in love with it,” Stark said. Taping, done on various Hollywood soundstages, took about 24 hours over a two-day period. “I was worn to a frazzle when I was done,” Stark said. “I had to just go up there, do my thing and say a lot of prayers. My cooking times ranged from 15 to 20 minutes — that’s all they gave us, so I had to get very inventive. I burned myself, cut myself. It was wild.” A devotee of reality cooking shows, who learned about the auditions via a food blog, Stark competed against a different

professional chef while preparing each dish. Although he recognized each chef instantly, he had no idea who he was up against until they walked out on stage — including Elizabeth Falkner (San Francisco, New York City) and molecular gastronomy whiz Marcel Vigneron. “It was like Marcel was in a lab mixing stuff up in test tubes and all kinds of crazy, wacko stuff … using liquid nitrogen,” said Stark, whose own favorite La Jolla eateries include the Promiscuous Fork and Beaumont’s Eatery on La Jolla Boulevard, and Eddie V’s on Prospect Street. In the end, Stark walked away with a $70,000 prize, a portion of which he said he plans to donate to those in need. u

WindanSea Surf Club leads Malibu Classic

ith many calling it the best contest conditions at Malibu in 25 years, the Malibu Surfing Association (MSA) Classic Invitational Sept. 5-7 went off in consistent, shoulder-to-overhead surf under sunny skies, a superb field of competitors, and smiles all around. Taking first place in four of 13 individual divisions, members of La Jolla’s WindanSea Surf Club (WSC) won the prestigious Club Overall crown. The win was WSC’s second this season and the second time in three years it has won the MSA event. The Hawai’i Longboard Association finished second and took two individual titles including the highly competitive Men 20-29 (Matthew Pasamonte, Maui,) and Women 14-19 (Honolua Blomfield, Oahu). The Oceanside Longboard Surfing Club, host MSA, and Malibu Boardriders Club rounded out the top five. While there were any number of topshelf performances, the standout memory may have been the surf — in particular a 20-wave, overhead set Sunday afternoon for the Mens 30-39 finals. With 200-yard rides through First Point on the offer, world-champion and division winner Joel Tudor (WSC), along with finalists Mike Melchiorre (VLF,

NC), CJ Nelson (MSA, CA), Matt Cuddihy (NMC, AU), JP Garcia (SBSC, CA) and Jeff Belzer (VSC, CA) traded hoots and high-fives throughout the heat while showcasing the high standard of traditional longboarding. During the first day of the Invitational, MSA welcomed SurfAid, the humanitarian face of surfing and the event’s official charity partner, as they returned to First Point for the SurfAid Cup Malibu. The tag-team SurfAid Cup Malibu fundraiser was blessed with luminaries of the surfing community and team participants who individually raised money to support SurfAid programs: building stronger communities in the Mentawai, Nias, Telos and Banyak Islands off Sumatra, Indonesia. An initial estimate read by SurfAid founder Dave Jenkins at the award ceremony tallied more than $120,000, a record for a US SurfAid Cup. La Jollans who took first places include: Men 13 & Under: Gus Day of WSC; Men 14-19: Ricky Cunningham of WSC; Men 30-39: Joel Tudor of WSC; Men 60-69: Ron Greene of Pacific Beach Surf Club; Women 20-34: Jen Smith of WSC.

PREP FOOTBALL: The Bishop’s School Knights 42, La Jolla High School Vikings 7

First game for Pearl Street Trophy: Knights dominate Vikings in cross-town rivalry game

home game, even though both teams use Edwards Field as their home field. The victorious student section, which stood the entire game, chanted “We run LJ” early in the fourth quarter after Bishop’s freshman Mozes Mooney picked off a Rugg pass with the Knights up 35-7, thereby sealing the Vikings’ demise. Whiteout fans lingered on the field after the game pretty much until the stadium lights were dimmed. Meanwhile, the blackout aficionados of LJHS fell silent after a thunderous opening and finally went silently into the dark night (darkened by the Knights). Bishop’s quarterback Griffin Seaman efficiently guided his offense to a touchdown on the opening possession of the game, chewing up seven minutes of valuable time and keeping the ball away from La Jolla’s offense. There were numerous penalties in the

game, this drive not being exempt. But the junior field general, who finished with 14 of 22 for 186 yards passing, threw a strike to Mooney in the end zone to put the Knights up, 6-0. After the defense forced La Jolla to turn the ball over on downs, the Knights offense came back with a Graft touchdown reception just before the end of the first quarter, and Bishop’s led 14-0. There was no turning the prep boys back. Instead of wearing down as they played both platoons on offense and defense, as La Jolla High coach Jason Carter had hoped in the face of his no-huddle spread attack, Bishop’s gained strength as the game progressed. Besides Mooney and Graft, there were several other Knights who went both ways. The only time they flagged was in the opening minute-and-a half of the third quarter, when La Jolla rushed the ball twice via Joe Vang, then Rugg caught a

wide-open Carlton O’Neal at the goal line with a 23-yard dart for the Vikings’ only score of the night. Bishop’s Coach Joel Allen’s contingent led 21-0 at halftime, and 28-7 after three quarters. Bishop’s can rightly claim city football supremacy for the year, since it vanquished La Jolla convincingly after La Jolla mauled Country Day 64-19 the week before. Gushed the senior Graft, a four-year starter and captain who piled up 146 yards rushing in a 34-0 rout at Clairemont on opening night the week before, “We came out in practice this week focused. We ran every play they run (to prepare for them). We were ready. It’s a great feeling.” Graft was mesmerizing on a few of his runs and catches, some called back due to penalties. His longest run was 28 yards. He had a fabulous diving catch for 36 yards down the right sideline that led to the Knights’ fourth touchdown.

Allen calmly shared: “It feels good. I think the kids just played hard. They didn’t get caught up (in the hoopla of the rivalry). They just came out and played good football.” n For the La Jolla High Vikings (1-1), Vang, a sophomore, was outstanding in only his second varsity game, with 82 yards on 17 carries. Rugg completed nine of 18 passes for 100 yards. O’Neal had four receptions for 47 yards, Brandon Bonham three catches for 33 yards. On defense, safeties Isaac Gutierrez and Da’Jour Tims had to be active in dealing with the Bishop’s wing-T offense. La Jolla next travels the long way to Fallbrook Sept. 12 in week three of the young season. n For The Bishop’s Knights (2-0) on defense, sophomore tackle Daniel Anderson and defensive end Cyrus Nolan had their names announced after numerous stops throughout the contest. On offense, Reggie Davis and A.J. Britanico gave the Vikings fits, Davis rushing 12 times for 38 yards and Britanico carrying 15 times for 22 yards and adding 26 yards on receptions.

section b 10 QUESTIONS

With an insider’s view, Suzanne Bourgeois pens history of Salk Institute

uzanne Bourgeois was born and educated in Brussels, Belgium. In 1961, she moved to the Pasteur Institute in Paris to join the laboratory of Professor Jacques Monod with whom she undertook a doctoral thesis at the University of Paris/ Sorbonne. She obtained her doctorate degree from the Sorbonne in 1966. It is at the Pasteur Institute that she met one of the future founders of the Salk Institute, Melvin Cohn. In 1963, they married and moved to La Jolla to help start the Salk Institute. There, she founded the Regulatory Biology Laboratory and has Suzanne Bourgeois published numerous articles on gene regulation. She is currently a Professor Emeritus at the institute. After closing her laboratory she realized that she was one of the last witnesses of the amazing genesis of the Salk Institute and she made it her mission to write the book “Genesis of the Salk Institute: the Epic of its Founders.” What brought you to La Jolla? I left my native Brussels for Paris in 1961 to work at the Pasteur Institute. That is where I met my future husband, Melvin “Mel” Cohn; we got married and moved to San Diego from Paris in 1963. As I tell the story in my book “Genesis of the Salk Institute,” Mel was one of the founders of the Salk Institute and it is during his 1961-1963 stay in Paris that the Salk Institute was organized. We moved to San Diego together to help Jonas Salk start the Salk Institute in La Jolla. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I realize this is very selfish, but I wish the area were less crowded. Who or what inspires you? History fascinates me, the incredible coincidences that changed people’s lives.

San Diego company opens its 50th Season in triumph over disaster By Susan DeMaggio an Diego Opera embarks on its 50th year this month, after coming to a crossroads and choosing the road less traveled — to preserve the cultural icon through new leadership and a fresh business plan. On the brink of collapse in March (when longtime CEO Ian Campbell and the San Diego Opera Board of Directors voted 33-1 to shutter the company for financial reasons after the final performance of the 2014 season in April), new leadership headed by former board secretary Carol Lazier took the reigns. Lazier, a major donor to the opera’s 2014 season, gave the company an additional $1 million to explore its options and “encourage the board to rescind the dissolution vote.” The result? A new board emerged; opera offices moved to new, smaller digs; interim artistic advisor Bill Mason was brought in from the Lyric Opera of Chicago; and the Company launched a crowdfunding campaign that resulted in an unprecedented $2.2 million in public donations.

Let Inga Tell You

Making it all up to the neighbors

La Jolla Cultural Partners

think it should be standard practice that after a remodel, you give a party for your neighbors and beg their forgiveness. The average home remodeler is not living in the construction site but their neighbors are. While the homeowner basks in the idyllic quiet of rental digs, the folks on either side of his remodel project are being subjected to months — sometimes years — of construction noise in the form of backhoes, jack hammers, constant pounding, never mind a realistic recreation of the Kansas dust bowl. There were a couple of years where we had two neighbors doing major remodels producing stereo construction noise, and at one point, when three neighbors were remodeling simultaneously, the equivalent of construction surround sound. At the moment, there are two huge remodels on our street — one four houses to the north, another five houses to the south. One of them is a total-tear-down three-level (there’s a full subterranean floor) new construction that is scheduled to take two years, which translated into English means at least three. I don’t know why the neighbors on either side of them aren’t suicidal. Or maybe they are. Just the

level of noise we get from this, including the constant rumbling of large construction vehicles, is mind-numbing. There’s an absence of street parking within a five-house radius from workers’ pickup trucks. More than a few times, I’ve thought the new house was on fire, such was the cloud of dust wafting from the site. Of course, remodeling is a pretty constant state of affairs in La Jolla. The Light recently covered Mitt Romney’s much publicized demolition of the family’s $12 million, 3,009-square-foot single family home on Dunemere Drive, which is apparently being replaced with an 11,000-square-foot, two-story structure. (Is that really neat automobile elevator on the basement level still part of the plans? If the Romney grandkids are anything like mine, I can see them wanting to come visit just to make the cars go up and down.) Regardless, this remodel is going to go on for a while. Eleven thousand square feet doesn’t appear overnight (unless it’s 11 badly-built thousand-square-foot houses from my neighborhood which I think did appear overnight in 1947). I was just starting to feel sorry for the neighbors when the Light further reported

that virtually every house on Dunemere is undergoing an extensive remodel as well. I had to wonder: is this some genius cooperation between neighbors — everyone remodeling at once to minimize the disruption — or a terminal case of My Remodel is Bigger than Yours? You also have to wonder how the construction crews even keep track of which project is theirs. I would be seriously concerned that my second story could end up in the wrong house. Should there be a mix-up, you can always hope that it was the Romney’s second story that ended up on yours. The construction to the south of us is nearing completion so it was with some dismay that we learned that our next-door neighbor plans to move out temporarily in a few months and do a major remodel on his house. Fortunately, it will be a onestory remodel and therefore hopefully go quicker than the behemoth that is being constructed a few houses north. Ironically, we’ve already lived through a few remodels of this neighbor’s home. Some house flippers made major changes in 2000, including a new roof; the new owner ended up replacing the flippers’ improvements including another new roof. I pretty much spent two years waving at roofing crews when I’d go outside in my nightgown in the morning to feed our aviary birds. Fortunately, we adore this neighbor, and he us, so if there are really any issues, we can address those with him directly. But I think my days of sleeping past 7 a.m. or taking an afternoon nap will be over for a while. The remodel will be extensive enough that it will require — yes — yet

Pat Sherman

another new roof. I guess it’s time to buy some new nightgowns. Maybe some stock in roofing, too. Now, fair enough: it just isn’t possible to do a major remodel without a certain amount of noise and dust and disruption to those who live around you. Which is why I truly do feel that a festivity expressing one’s sincere apologies to the neighbors for all they’ve endured should be part of the construction budget. In the case of the house four doors north, I don’t think that flying all the neighbors within a 10-house radius to Tahiti first class would be unreasonable. Personally, the party I’d like to get an invitation to is the one that the Dunemere Drive folks should throw for the one neighbor who isn’t remodeling. They’re going to owe him big time. For the record, I’d even be willing to bring the canapés. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

Grilled Loch Duart Salmon with ‘fruits of summer’ ratatouille and basil coulis

Nectarine-Heirloom Tomato Salad with burrata and watercress

OB Warehouse: Newest Cohn Restaurant opens in Ocean Beach By Kelley Carlson t may be brand-new, but already OB Warehouse is often packed. The restaurant — which opened Aug. 7 — is the latest venture from the Cohn Restaurant Group, known for its dozens of awardwinning eateries around San Diego County. “This project has been a long time in the making, and we’re incredibly pleased to bring this fun, world-cuisine dining option to the area,” David Cohn said. “Ocean Beach is a vibrant community known for its character and originality, and we’ve created a menu and design that complements the neighborhood.” The 6,000-square-foot OB Warehouse, in the heart of Ocean Beach, is designed by the Cohns’ go-to visionary, Philippe Beltran. The industrial space features repurposed materials and eclectic, vintage artifacts that Beltran collected during his international travels, including oversized tables from an old shoe factory in Portugal, push carts from India, and a bisected 1965 Airsteam trailer that permits guests to peek into the restaurant kitchen. Such diversity carries over into OB Warehouse’s cuisine. “The food has a global thread through it,” said Chef Amiko Gubbins, the Cohn Restaurant Group’s “Special Ops-Food & Flavor.” Gubbins — who was formerly executive chef at Café Japengo in La Jolla and chef/ owner at Parallel 33 in Mission Hills — uses local ingredients to create foods with Asian, Mediterranean, Moroccan and Middle Eastern influences.

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:

Grilled MorrocanSpice, Flat-Iron Steak For starters, there is fare such as the Golden SO-Cal Crabcakes with honey red chili aioli, and Hoisin Chicken Potstickers. Another option is salads: One that’s light and “summery” is the Nectarine-Heirloom Tomato Salad with fruit wedges and slices, creamy burrata, bunches of watercress, and a white balsamic-honey lavender drizzle. Patrons looking for shareables can turn to flatbreads. There are nearly a half-dozen varieties, but one of the standouts is the spicy Merguez Sausage, covered with ovenroasted tomatoes; sprinkles of feta cheese; and harissa. Main entrees range from burgers and steaks to chicken and seafood. Among the highlights is the Royal Goan Shrimp Curry, served with toasted basmati rice and crispy shallots; and the Grilled Loch Duart

Salmon, composed of rich fish on a bed of “fruits of summer” ratatouille (a medley of red-and-yellow tomatoes, zucchini, onions and eggplant medallions) and accented with fresh basil coulis. To round off the dining experience, patrons can choose the Coconut Tapioca with crispy phyllo and lemongrass pink guava coulis; Bittersweet Chocolate Cake finished with espresso sauce and a candied lemon twist; and the Making Whoopie Pie, which consists of a dark chocolate soft cookie sandwich filled with silky dulce de leche, surrounded by crushed pretzels, shaved white chocolate, mini dark chocolate chips and house-made whipped cream. The restaurant’s bar program offers handcrafted, warehouse-themed cocktails, which include The Welder, a blend of Kolsch beer, Pavan liqueur, grapefruit juice and lemon juice; and The Mason, a fizzy favorite made with Svedka Vodka, King’s Ginger Liqueur, St. Germain Elderflower, lime juice and ginger beer. Further emphasizing its international influences, OB Warehouse has a list of more than 50 wines from regions such as Slovenia, Greece and Lebanon; and 20-plus draught beers. u

CORRECTION: In the “On the Menu” story about A.R. Valentien in the Aug. 21 issue of La Jolla Light, the last sentence was incorrect. The Artisan Table pricing does not include tax and gratuity, but covers food, wine and valet parking.

History of San Diego Opera n San Diego Opera Guild is founded in 1950 to present San Francisco Opera productions in the San Diego community. n San Diego Opera Association is incorporated in 1965 as a producing company and presents its first staging of “La bohème” in the new Civic Theatre. From 1965 to his death in 1975, founding General Director Walter Herbert produces a balance of standard repertoire and new works. n In 1976, General Director Tito Capobianco brings the Company international renown with an annual Verdi Festival and expands the season to six productions, with renowned superstars like Joan Sutherland, Luciano Pavarotti and Beverly Sills. n Ian Campbell, assistant artistic administrator at the Metropolitan Opera, succeeds Capobianco in 1983. n In March 2014, citing a decline in donations and ticket sales, and the depletion of a $10 million endowment donated in 2003 by the late San Diego philanthropist Joan Kroc, Ian Campbell and the San Diego Opera’s Board of Directors votes to shut the company down after the final performance of the 2014 season in April. n In May 2014, after former Board Secretary Carol Lazier donates $1 million and rallies a group to save the San Diego Opera, a new board and a reinvented Company announces its 50th Season. u

In May, after two months of deliberations and analysis, San Diego Opera announced its 2015 season — three operas “La bohème,” “Don Giovanni” and “Nixon in China” performed at the San Diego Civic Theatre; a mariachi opera; and special Gala Concerts of favorite arias, duets, ensembles and choruses with the San Diego Symphony at Copley Symphony Hall.

“Clearly there are people committed to saving the San Diego Opera — the third largest cultural institution in the city — and they seem to be making strides in engaging stakeholders and the broader community in the conversation,” wrote Eileen Cunniffe in the April issue of Nonprofit Quarterly.

A mariachi opera, ‘El Pasado Nunca se Termina’ (The Past is Never Finished), is booked for April 25. Courtesy Photos Of his vision for the San Diego Opera, interim director Mason told La Jolla Light, “San Diego opera lovers can confidently look forward to a future of continued artistic excellence and innovation as the Company embarks on its 50th season. “I urge the community to continue to support the company by attending performances, donating as generously as possible, and spreading the word about the beauty and life changing power of opera.” San Diego Opera is not alone in its struggle to survive. With great hope, its new path will save it from the fate of other opera companies that have gone out of business recently — New York City Opera, Opera Boston, Opera Cleveland, Baltimore Opera, San Antonio Opera, Lyric Opera San Diego and Opera Pacific in Orange County. u

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

‘Fallen Angels’ provide laughs in romp about love and longing

irector Rosina Reynolds reveals keen intuition into the hearts of Noël Coward’s two “Fallen Angels.” Playing at the North Coast Repertory Theatre through Sept. 28, the adult comedy, which debuted in London in 1925, is still delicious and delightful. We meet Julia (Joanna Strapp) and her husband, Fred (Thomas Stephen Miller), cuddling up in their British home as she tries to get him to agree that although they love each other, they are not in love with each other.

Men being men, Fred has no idea what she’s getting at, and is anxious to go golfing with his pal, Willie (Jason Maddy). Interrupting the couple’s conversation is their new maid, Saunders (Jacquelyn Ritz), who claims to have done and know everything — including what clubs Fred should use on the course (just his irons). While the guys are golfing, Fred’s wife (Julia’s best friend Jane) stops by to give Julia some startling news. The amorous Frenchman, Maurice — a lover to them both before they were married — is in to

town for a visit. The girls are scared, anxious and giddy all at once. They begin plowing through every alcoholic beverage in Julia’s home and before long are totally schnockered. They steal the show with slapstick antics — Strapp’s willowy body barely able to land on the couch or a chair, and Spiro’s dynamite retorts that make no sense, but bring gales of laughter about the maid’s advice on everything. Soon they are arguing over which of them ex-lover Maurice would want most. Their sparring is on par with the likes of Carol Brunett and Vickie Lawrence; Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau; Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance (Ethel). Of course the tension builds as the girls wait to see if Maurice (Richard Baird) will really show up. And if so, what will they tell their husbands? Miller and Maddy as the clueless husbands do their best to add a comic

demeanor to their one-dimensional characters, even after they discover the scandalous secret of their wives. Ritz does a splendid job as the maid who doesn’t miss any laughs from the audience with her pragmatic, unemotional busybody insertions into the other characters’ conversations. The set design by Marty Burnett and the jazzy music providing the backdrop to the merriment would make Noël Coward proud of everyone and everything in this production. It takes real artists to bring someone’s words to life and this show is proof the North Coast Repertory Theatre is a true contender in the entertainment field. u n IF YOU GO: “Fallen Angels” plays through Sept. 28 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $41 (seniors/students and military save $3 with I.D.) (858) 4811055. NorthCoastRep.org

Go wild during National Rice Month “Rice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.” — Mitch Hedberg

his precious grain that has been nourishing populations for more than 5,000 years, and today feeds some 3 billion people worldwide, has been purported to sustain one of the oldest living humans, a Brazilian man who claims to be 126 years old, thanks in part to his daily plate of rice and beans. Here’s how to get the most out of this versatile seed that is honored in September with a national holiday:

The long and short of it While there are roughly 40,000 varieties of rice grown around the globe, (except in Antarctica), they are primarily classified into long-, medium- and short-grain groups. Long-grain typically contains more amylose, a soluble starch, making this type less sticky and fluffier than other rices. In most kitchens in this country long-grain white is the rice of choice, although the brown has a rich nutty flavor and chewy texture as the bran and germ of the seed are intact.

Basmati rice, a super long-grain, flourishes in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, and is the cornerstone of Indian, Persian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Available in both white and brown varieties, its nutty flavor and delicate aroma make Basmati ideal for pilafs and biryani dishes. Jasmine rice, native to Thailand, has a floral perfume and a soft slightly sticky texture, making it a perfect accompaniment for stir-fries and other Asian dishes. Jasmine rice should be rinsed before cooking to remove any powdery residue. The most commonly used mediumgrains are Japanese sushi rice, which is firm and clingy; and Bomba, the sponge of rices, which absorbs twice as much fluid as long-grains. Since Bomba doesn’t get sticky, it is typically used for Spanish paella. As for short-grains, Arborio, a super sticky, creamy Italian superfine variety is ideal for risottos and rice puddings. There are also “specialty” rices, including Wehani, an American hybrid of basmati with a rich reddish brown hue and chewy texture perfect for pilafs or blending with other rice varieties. Wild rice, not a botanically true rice, rather the seed of a

North American grass is rich, dark, robust and chewy, making a wonderful stuffing for squabs, turkey and other fowls. Finally, the “forbidden” Chinese black rice is firm yet tender and not clingy, with a deep purple hue making an impressive presentation as a simple side.

Grains with benefits Rice is a naturally non-allergenic, glutenfree complex carb, low in sodium, fat and cholesterol free, while a good source of protein containing all eight essential amino acids. White rice is loaded with manganese, selenium, iron, folic acid and niacin, but

n Method: In a wok or heavy skillet heat the oils on medium and sauté carrot, broccoli, pepper, zucchini and ginger. Stir and cook for two minutes, then add mushrooms, onions and pea pods. Cook until tender. Blend in rice, seasonings, then the egg until cooked. Serve with soy sauce, and garnish with cilantro. brown has extra boons, including additional minerals, especially magnesium for boosting bone and immune health, along with four times the dietary fiber as white varieties. While wild rice, although has less mineral content than brown, contains more protein, folic acid, antioxidant-rich Vitamin A, heart-healthy omega-3s, along with a lower glycemic load, making it diabetic friendly. There’s more, rice is easy to digest and convert into energy, and is a good mood food that triggers serotonin in the brain. u n For additional rice recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

new Study assesses consequences of Solar Power on Utility costs As you can imagine, with the rapid growth of solar power, utility companies and Public Utility Commissions are concerned as to what effects they might feel as a result. Various studies have tried to get a handle on what the potential costs and benefits might be, but the results have differed greatly. Some studies reveal that solar power will provide a net benefit to utilities,

while others report that there could be billions of dollars in sales lost due to more customers generating their own power. One of the biggest factors that studies have tried to understand is the necessary investment in infrastructure to keep the national utility grids reliable and stable in the face of varied availability of solar and wind power that may very widely within minutes. Recently, three National Labs (Argonne, Lawrence Berkeley, National Renewable Energy Lab) have partnered with the University of Chicago and the Arizona Public Service (one of the largest utility companies) to conduct what should be a definitive study. What they found is that if utilities are more flexible, including ramping down output of nuclear power plants to 50% of capacity due to

day-ahead forecasts and an hourly tracking of weather patterns, the costs incurred are quite small. The costs would translate to 0.2 – 0.4 cents per kilowatt hour. This means that the rapid adoption of solar power in California would affect prices of power at about 1-2%. Utility companies have tried to balance the return to their shareholders with the sensitivity of rate increases to their customers. They have also been regulated thus far by Public Utility Commissions with mixed effectiveness from state to state. And because utilities have allowed a fixed rate of return no matter what, they are encouraged to invest large sums in infrastructure, such as smart meters and distribution and transmission equipment. Unfortunately what this hundred year old business model does, is leave the utilities with

zero penalties for overspending and poor decisions. These will simply be added to the rate-base and passed along to customers. An example of this can be seen in the decommissioning of San Onofre and the damages done by the Witch Creek fire which was allegedly due to inadequate maintenance and construction of Sunrise Power Link. The utilities will simply recover these costs. It will be interesting to see what effect this authoritative study will have on utilities. But one thing is for certain, and that is that solar power and households generating their own power is here and it’s continuing to rise. If you want to discuss the benefits solar power can have on your home and utility bill, please contact us at hessolar.com or give us a call at 619.692.2015.

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

From 10 Questions, B1

to admit that I am afraid of the dark!

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I would invite people I have never met and who would have wonderful stories to tell. A few scientists: Richard Feynman, Charles Darwin, Robert Oppenheimer. Some politicians: Hillary Clinton, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill. A couple of artists: Pablo Picasso, Charlie Chaplin. It would be interesting to watch how those people would interact!

What is your most-prized possession? A Flemish painting that belonged to my parents. It is unsigned and of no commercial value, but I have known it all my life.

What are your five favorite movies? “Casablanca,” “Les enfants du paradis,” “Bridge on the River Kwai,” “Lawrence of Arabia” and “Doctor Zhivago.” What is it that you most dislike? I most dislike this question because I hate

What do you do for fun? Fun is in the eye of the beholder. I most enjoy what other people call work: reading, writing, thinking, talking. What is your philosophy of life? Never get bored. What would be your dream vacation? I have never been on a cruise because I have always thought of ocean cruise ships as boring and confined. Now I dream of spending lengthy vacations on river cruises, stopping and visiting one city after another. u

Willis Allen Real Estate representative attends global real-estate network event

shley McEvers, business development manager with Willis Allen Real Estate, recently attended the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World Fall Workshop in Phoenix, Arizona. The audience included brokers, managers and relocation directors from real-estate firms around the country. Participants were members of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, a global network of more than 500 real estate firms, which represents more home sales than any other real estate network, according to event organizers. The workshop offered a range of educational sessions on topics relating to the real-estate market and included a variety of open forum discussions concentrating on how to best serve the interests of homebuyers and sellers. Keynote speaker Travis Robertson, CEO and founder of Robertson Coaching International, spoke about “The Millennial Revolution,” and addressed today’s hyper-

connected economy and how to engage with the millennial generation. “The speakers, discussion and tools presented at this workshop were insurmountable. As a representative of Willis Allen, I’m able to bring back relevant real-estate knowledge to our company that helps us stay ahead of the ever changing market,” McEvers said. Willis Allen Real Estate is the San Diego County representative of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (LeadingRE.com), the largest network of premier locally-branded firms producing more than 1 million annual home-sale transactions. LeadingRE provides its affiliates with an extensive range of brokerage services, which include lead generation, cross-market referrals, branding support, luxury marketing, online exposure, technology systems and industryleading professional development.
