Hidden Valley noise abatement study gets Town Council support By Pat Sherman La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) approved a proposal by Hidden Valley Homeowners Association (HOA) to ask the City of San Diego to extend a 200-foot sound wall barrier along La Jolla Parkway to reduce traffic noise residents say exceeds levels recommended by the city and state. The proposal, presented by Hidden Valley HOA President Richard Haskel, included a petition signed by 48 homeowners on Ardath Road, Ardath Court and other adjoining Hidden Valley streets. Residents seek to extend the sound wall by about 1,600 feet to reduce noise in their community, which Haskel said has been particularly pronounced during summer months, when residents leave windows open at night to keep cool.

Richard Haskel presents a proposal to extend a 200foot sound wall barrier along La Jolla Parkway to reduce the impact of traffic noise. Pat Sherman Haskel cited a study from 2004 showing that noise from vehicles traveling in and out of La Jolla averaged about 75 decibels. Acceptable noise levels

established by the city are between 40 and 50 decibels for residential areas, he said.

The LJVMA board, which works to woo shoppers and tourists to La Jolla’s business improvement district (BID), will undergo a dramatic change next month, when 10 open seats on the 15-member board will be filled. There are 15 candidates vying for the seats (after Finch’s Bistro and Wine Bar owner Marshall Ravden pulled out of the race this month). Only one person per business within LJVMA’s BID boundaries is eligible to vote, and must cast his or her ballot in-person during the Donors will have group’s annual their names displayed election, 8:30-10 a.m. on Village banners. Wednesday, Oct. 8 at Cuvier Club, 7776 Eads Ave. Anyone from one of the approximately 1,200 BID members wishing to vote must assure their business tax certificate (business license) fee has been paid for the current year, as of Sept. 30, 2014. They must also provide a copy of their business tax certificate or the following information: business name (doing business as), business address, business tax certificate number and San Diego rental tax certificate number (which will be verified off a list provided by the city treasurer’s office).

Ebola fight fund opens at bank in La Jolla By Ashley Mackin To help with the headline-grabbing and heartache-inducing crisis of Ebola in West Africa, the Foundation For Women (FFW), a 501(c)3 non-profit, has set up a bank account in La Jolla where those interested can donate money to help those fighting the outbreak. Focusing on Liberia, La Jolla resident and FFW Founder Deborah Lindholm, is spearheading the effort to get assistance to the African country. With guidance from friend and banker Jennifer Harter, a FFW account has been set up at the City National Bank (La Jolla branch), 800 Silverado St., Suite 100. Harter said those wanting to donate can walk into the branch and contribute directly to the FFW Ebola Campaign account, or mail a check made out to Foundation For Women, with a memo indicating it is for the Ebola Campaign. The account opened Sept. 9, and there is no deadline for giving. Lindholm explained a $20 donation (or increments thereof) will provide one family in Liberia with bleach and a bucket to help sanitize their hands (and hand sanitizer) to help prevent the spread of the virus. “People who have contact with those with Ebola have to wash their hands with water and bleach to kill it because it is very contagious,” Lindholm said. “I would love for the community to do something and I think if people knew they had the option to do something that will help people directly

Through these women and others, she has been getting updates about the dire situation. Quoting James Dorbor Jallah of the Liberia Ebola Task Force, Lindholm said, “The virus is spreading at the speed of sound and international aid is coming at the speed of a snail.” The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) cites the current outbreak as the worst in

As of Aug. 31, the CDC reports 1,698 suspected and confirmed cases, 871 suspected case deaths, and 403 laboratory confirmed cases. The World Health Organization first announced the situation in March. “While the world is figuring it out at the top level, we are figuring it out at the grassroots level here,” Lindholm said. u

Voters may select as many as 10 candidates (the number of open seats). For more than a year, the LJVMA has been proactively trying to recoup revenue needed to achieve its objectives, by informing business owners that they must pay their annual business tax certificate fee — something they say some business owners are not aware of. During the meeting, one such merchant, Lauren Lahaye, owner of Lolo clothing boutique on Girard Avenue, said she recently received a violation notice from the city stating that she owes $350 a year in back business taxes for not filing her business tax certificate, plus $200-per-year in late fees. “If you can just take away the late fees, I’ll pay the $350 a year that I owe,” she said. “It’s a lot of money that you’re asking from a small business owner.” LJVMA board President Claude-Anthony Marengo noted that the merchants association merely manages the funds and thus she would have to make her request to the city, though Marengo said he would ask the city’s BID advocate if waiving late fees is possible. Lahaye said her husband pressure cleans the sidewalk in front of her store every three months, and noted other merchants in the vicinity are not taking the same initiative. “It looks silly because ours is neat … but then all the others look awful,” she said, further questioning how her annual BID assessment is used (the amount is based on a business’s location, size and number of

Ahern said such support will help organizers in their quest to solicit donations needed to complete a roughly $30,000 schematic design, which still needs $26,000 by the end of this month, he said. The proposal calls for replacing the existing, 1,100-square-foot restroom with an 1,800to 2,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art “comfort station,” to include six additional unisex bathrooms and expanded gathering space. Although La Jolla Cove is getting a new lifeguard station (currently under construction) Ahern said the existing bathroom is a visual travesty in the upscale tourist destination of La Jolla. “It smells, it’s moldy, it’s dirty. … It looks like hell,” he said. “Something needs to be done.

CRIME NEWS

Man charged with felony assault, battery in La Jolla ‘sucker punch’ incident By Pat Sherman A man was charged in San Diego Superior Court with felony assault and felony battery Aug. 29 in an alcohol-fueled incident that occurred outside a La Jolla eatery almost two years ago. The jury found defendant Sean Hendricks guilty of the charges, one carrying an enhancement, in an attack on La Jollan John “Casey” Irwin that occurred outside Jose’s Courtroom restaurant Nov. 21, 2012. Sentencing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., Sept. 30 at San Diego Superior Court, Central Division. The charges carry a

maximum sentence of up to four years in state prison, said prosecutor Cherie Somerville with the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office. According to the victim’s mother, Jan Irwin, an inebriated patron was “yelling obscenities and insults into the restaurant at the manager, who was not allowing him or his friend back in because of intoxication.” The incident occurred the night before Thanksgiving, Irwin said, when La Jolla High School alumni often meet up at gathering spots in the Village. Irwin said her son, now 32, knew the man yelling obscenities and went outside to

conviction, the DA’s office phoned the family again in December of 2013 to say they were moving forward. Irwin said she believes their decision to reconsider the case may have stemmed from a letter her son wrote to District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, pleading for justice. “He thinks that’s what did it,” Irwin said, noting that her son is still dealing with residual effects of the assault, such as pain and double vision. A similar incident in 2007 — involving the so-called “Bird Rock Bandits” — led to the death of professional surfer Emery Kauanui, who died after being punched in the jaw once outside his La Jolla home, then falling back and hitting his head on the pavement. Seth Cravens received a sentence of 20 years-to-life for the fatal assault. “Every two months you read about some kid on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach or downtown in the Gaslamp that gets suckerpunched and falls back and dies,” Irwin said. The violence has got to stop. … To me, this is one case where justice eventually did get served.”

calm him down. The alleged assailant was standing to the left of the belligerent man when her son approached. “No good deed goes unpunished,” Irwin said. “He (Hendricks) came up, said ‘get out of here, leave us alone,’ and then out of the blue hit our son with a sucker punch to the left eye,” Irwin said. “Instead of falling backward like so many of these tragic cases, he just crumbled.” Irwin said her son, who was bleeding and in pain, drove himself to Thornton Hospital in La Jolla, where he underwent surgery to repair a fractured left eye orbit, and remained hospitalized for days. “He had plates and Teflon and all manner of things to repair his eye socket,” Irwin said, noting that her son had to have surgery again two months later when one of the plates slipped. Irwin said the testimony of witnesses, as well as surveillance camera footage were crucial evidence in the trial. Although the District Attorney’s office told the Irwin family early in 2013 they would not pursue the case because prosecutors did not feel they could get a

Police Blotter

San Diego Police await toxicology report in Nautilus St. collision San Diego Police say they have not filed charges against the driver of a vehicle that caused a three-car collision while reportedly speeding at up to 100 miles per hour down Nautilus Street Aug. 21. However, the case may be sent to the city attorney’s office for prosecution, pending results of a toxicology report, SDPD Media Services Lieutenant Kevin Mayer said. During the incident, which happened about 9:40 a.m. the driver struck two other cars, flipped over, knocked down a power pole, street sign and palm tree, sending two drivers and two children to area hospitals. The collision occurred at the intersection of Avenida la Reina, across from Muirlands Middle School. The driver and children in the minivan suffered minor injuries and were taken to hospitals for evaluation. San Diego Gas & Electric Co. representative Amber Albrecht said SDG&E is evaluating the incident and will make a decision as to whether it will seek reimbursement from the driver of the vehicle that caused the collision.

La Jolla Town Council From Merchants, A1

In other LJTC news

n Alzheimer’s facility proposed for Fay Ave.: Several trustees, who also serve on La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance (PDO) committee, talked about a proposal to convert a commercial building on Fay Avenue to a residential care facility for people with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. The building at 7630 Fay Ave. was once home to the Chopra Center and, most recently, SPA MD cosmetic surgery center. The proposed project, dubbed Monarch Cottages, would require coastal and site development permits, as well as a conditional-use permit for the 26-unit, twostory care facility. LJTC trustee Joseph Pitrofsky said his colleagues on the PDO committee seemed generally impressed with the project, although they had reservations about its location — next door to the La Jolla Music Society’s planned performing arts center and across the street from the seven-screen Boffo Cinema complex under construction in the building formerly housing Jonathan’s Market. “If this was like a block over on Eads, we’d

La Jolla Town Council president Steve Haskins prepares to hand off a bottle of Chardonnay to the person who correctly answers the group’s September trivia question as fellow trustees Natasha Alexander and Charles Hartford look on. Pat Sherman say, ‘No problem, fits right in,’ ” he said. The building is zoned for retail on its ground level, which is not part of the Monarch Cottages proposal. The applicant hopes to obtain zoning deviations by making elements of building environmentally sustainable.

PDO member and LJTC trustee Michael Dershowitz said the applicant, Brian Longmore, sent a notice to residents and businesses within a 1,000-foot radius of the project. “They have spoken to … the people who are going to be developing the movie theater across the street and the music

“A motorcycle — and they’re a lot of fun as they turn up the power (going up La Jolla Parkway) — is 90 decibels; a diesel truck at 40 miles per hour, 50 feet away, is 90 decibels,” Haskel said, noting that a 2008 city study showed an average of 52,000 vehicles daily entering and exiting La Jolla via the busy thoroughfare. Haskel said the small section of sound wall was added when The Throat intersection of Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Parkway was reconfigured during Scott Peters’ term as District 1 San Diego City Council representative. “Why they stopped, we don’t know,” he said. La Jolla Shores Association Chair Tim Lucas, who was in attendance, noted the Hidden Valley HOA will have to present its proposal to La Jolla’s other city advisory groups for approval, including the one he chairs, as well as the La Jolla Community Planning Association and Traffic & Transportation board. Hidden Valley resident Julie Crawford said

she and her neighbors would “at the very least” like city officials to send a traffic engineer to determine how high the wall needs to be and generally recognize the problem. She said the neighborhood would also hire its own “engineers and experts” to make independent determinations. In the end, trustees passed a motion to “have the city start looking at how to solve the noise issue in that area.”

hall next to it,” he said. “They said they’ve gotten everyone’s approval for this.” n Sprucing up ‘The Ivanhoe’: Pitofsky also noted a proposal before the PDO this month for aesthetic changes to the threestory building at 7817 Ivanhoe Ave. (at Silverado Street), housing Keller Williams Realty and other businesses. The work will involve new landscaping, the addition of trees along Ivanhoe and new paint to soften the appearance of the mammoth, gray structure (to be rechristened “The Ivanhoe”). n Bylaws changes afoot: LJTC President Steve Haskins announced appointments for an ad hoc bylaws committee to mull over suggested changes to the LJTC’s bylaws, which Haskins said he hopes to present to trustees next month for their consideration. Committee members, approved by trustees during the meeting, include Haskins, Pitrofsky, past president Cindy Greatrex and trustee Al Ramirez. n Cove Pavilion passes muster: Trustees lent their support to the new restroom proposed for Scripps Park, dubbed the La Jolla Cove Pavilion (see related merchants association story, page A1). The community group organizing the project, including Patrick Ahern and Judy Adams Halter, is seeking $26,000 by the end of September to complete a schematic design for the project. They are seeking private donations, as well as donations of $5,000 from as many as five local organizations, which would be thanked via a donor appreciation

plaque on the side of the building. “They represent thousands of people, so when we go out there we can say we have at least 20,000 people involved in this,” Ahern said, noting that having the community shepherd a majority the project would cost 30 percent less than having the city do it. To donate or for more information, contact Adams Halter at (619) 890-3284 or halterJAH@aol.com, or Ahern at (858) 2209001 or AhernGroup@gmail.com n ‘La Jolla’ ship to be decommissioned: Haskins noted that the only warship named after the Village of La Jolla — the fast attack submarine USS La Jolla — will be decommissioned at the end of this year and converted to a training ship that will be permanently moored in Charleston, South Carolina. The 360-foot-long ship was commissioned Oct. 24, 1981, and can be armed with antisubmarine torpedoes and Tomahawk-guided cruise missiles. “Its final voyage to San Diego will be during the end of October and they are inviting up to 25 of us to take a tour of the submarine and Ballast Point Submarine Base,” Haskins said, adding the LJTC is organizing a reception for the 100-member crew of the ship at that time, possibly to coincide with a LJTC Sunsetter event. n Renewals up: Vice-President Glenda Rothberg said since the LJTC’s last meeting the council received $1,250 in membership renewal fees, following two mailings sent this summer. u

City meets with Shores board to discuss utility project n Merchants/residents want work done without delays By Ashley Mackin At the Sept. 10 La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) meeting, residents and business owners came together to discuss possible night work suggested by merchants for an upcoming utility construction project on Avenida de la Playa, the Shores’ main thoroughfare. As part of Group Job 809, sewer and water lines must be replaced down the middle of Avenida de la Playa. Merchants, including owners of restaurants with outdoor seating, suggested the work be done at night to minimize impact from dust, noise and lack of parking. Project manager Sarah Chavez said, “We’ve been speaking to residents and our neighborhood code compliance to see if day work, night work — or a combination of the two — would be best.” To proceed with a night work permit, all businesses and residences within 500 feet must be considered, so project managers are in the process of gathering applicable addresses and sending out letters. Recipients are encouraged to respond within a twoweek window. Based on the responses, project managers can make a decision and propose a schedule. At the LJSA meeting, some residents voiced opposition to night work, but seemed amenable to 24-hour, round-theclock work to speed the process.

At the LJSA meeting, Café Solange owner Christian Malecot says his restaurant will offer takeout while Avenida de la Playa is under construction. Photos by Ashley Mackin Speaking as both a resident and a business owner, Café Solange owner Christian Malecot called the non-stop construcion schedule a justifyable solution. “It’s not fair for the residents to only work at night, and it’s not fair for the businesses to only work during the day, so let’s share the pain and deal with this all together,” he said. “We could share the burden and (have crews) work during the day and at night.” Steve Lindsay, senior construction engineer for the City of San Diego, said dayand-night work is possible, but would be contingent on the night work permit. Although still facing construction impacts,

some residents and business owners feel the total construction schedule would be shortened if the work hours were extended. “If they can get through the area in a month instead of five months, then let them do it,” LJSA chair Tim Lucas said. “We can suffer for a month or a little more, but we cannot suffer for three or four months — especially if it’s unknown (when construction will be done).” The construction schedule, though ever changing, has work starting on Avenida de la Playa in mid-November, with expected completion in spring 2015. However, construction would not be taking place every day of that period. Lindsay noted a 30-day window, while pipes are settling. “Once the sewer is laid, we have to wait 30 days to make sure the pipes work before we can repave the whole street,” he said. As far as advanced notice of work, Lindsay said he could only provide projections in three-week increments. Aiming for proactivity, Surf Diva co-owner and LJSA member Izzy Tihanyi said with enough notice, store owners could close up shop for the day when their businesses would be most impacted, send employees home, and use the down time to make store improvements, such as painting interiors. In another proactive effort, Malecot announced Café Solange would offer takeout options for those who want to patronize the business but not be disturbed by construction activity. Hoping for continued support through

the project, Ocean Girl owner Terry Kraszewski said, “Please come visit us, even if it’s a mess!”

In other LJSA news:

n Shores Fall Fest will be held at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 22, when restaurants along Avenida de la Playa will provide samples, as well as games, prizes and activities for children. n In memory of Sue Geller, LJSA member Janie Emerson took the opportunity to praise the community activist, who passed away Aug. 4 at age 86. “Sue was an amazing woman … She was involved in land-use issues right up until the end,” Emerson said. “It shows what one person can do. At one of our meetings we heard the DecoBike issue, and she was one of the number of us who opposed Sue Geller it … DecoBike subsequently (1927-2014) pulled out of the Shores and out of La Jolla completely. So when you get discouraged about an issue or feel like you are the only one out there, don’t stop. One person does make a difference and the ripple effect is tremendous.” u — La Jolla Shores Association next meets 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8 at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, 8840 Biological Grade.

Steakhouse Swap

Azul closes on Prospect, Donovan’s to relocate there from UTC By Pat Sherman he Steakhouse at Azul has closed its doors at 1250 Prospect St., to be replaced in early 2015 by Donovan’s Steakhouse, which is relocating from its space near UTC Westfield Mall. The notice — posted on the door of Azul and on its website Sept. 4 — confirms rumors circulating around La Jolla the past three months. Donovan’s General Manager Steve Josefski said Donovan’s will most likely remain in its current location at 4340 La Jolla Village Drive until the beginning of the year due to “obligations with reservations and parking.” “We have a good amount of holiday

parties already booked,” Josefski said Sept. 9. “This (news) all hit today.” The notice from Azul operators, Brigantine, Inc. said it had “reached agreement to sell The Steakhouse at Azul La Jolla to Donovan’s Prime Steakhouse Restaurants” which is “scheduled to close at the end of 2014 or early 2015.” Brigantine, Inc. President and CEO Mike Morton, Jr. said, “We wish to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of our guests and hardworking staff who have supported Azul over the past 15 years. Donovan’s will be a great addition to Prospect Street and we wish them continued success at their new location.” Azul opened on Prospect Street in

1999. Another steakhouse in the same block, Eddie V’s at 1270 Prospect St., opened in the fall of 2011 and has recently applied for expanded weekend valet parking hours. Nearby upscale eatery and mainstay George’s at the Cove is also planning an expansion of its rooftop dining area. Morton said the sale of Azul will allow Brigantine, Inc. to focus all of its attention on its core brands of Brigantine and Miguel’s eateries. Brigantine operates 12 restaurants in San Diego County, including six Brigantine Seafood and oyster Bar locations and six Miguel’s Cocina locations. u

La Jollan wins national STEM award for mobile app

he Bishop’s School junior Jake Chasan of La Jolla won the inaugural House STEM Academic Competition for his app, “Path to Eagle Scout.” 52nd District Congressmember Scott Peters met with Chasan and his family in Peters’ Washington, D.C. office, Sept. 11. Chasan, who developed The Bishop’s School mobile app when he was in ninth grade, said: “Participating in the House App Challenge taught me important lessons in customer service, video editing and coding. I am glad I devoted the time to build this app and participate in the Challenge.” The “Path to Eagle Scout” app provides a guide for Boy Scouts to keep track of their progress on merit badges through the ranks to the top rank of Eagle Scout. In addition to the progress tracker, the app features checklists for each rank and a quiz to prep

the Scout before meeting the Board of Review. “With our region’s innovation-focused economy, an app contest that challenges local students to think critically and creatively is a perfect fit,” Peters said. “I’m excited to announce Jake as our first winner. His app is a testament to skills in science, technology, engineering and math that our country will need to stay competitive in coming years.” Chasan’s app will be featured on Peters’ website and can be found in the iTunes App Store. A video narration of “Path to Eagle Scout” is available on YouTube. The House STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Academic Competition focuses on software applications or “apps” for mobile, tablet and computer devices, was open for submissions earlier this year. A panel of local technology and innovation leaders chose the winner. u

Shores residents speak up about kayak contract rules La Jolla

Shores

Association

By Ashley Mackin During the Sept. 10 La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) meeting, residents and business owners got their last chance to offer suggestions for the next kayak concessionaire Request for Proposal (RFP) before it is prepared and presented to the city for approval at the end of this month or early next. LJSA chair Tim Lucas explained an RFP contains the conditions that the concessionaires must abide by. “It could cover things like hours of operation, number of tours … where kayaks are stored at night, how things get to the beach, etc.” Representing the San Diego Lifeguards — part of the triad responsible for drafting the RFP, along with the city attorney’s office and the real estate assets department — Lt. Rich Stropky was at the meeting to answer questions and gather feedback that could potentially be integrated into the RFP. At previous LJSA meetings, public comments on how to improve the current RFP were documented, so those improvements could be written into the next, four-year contract. “This is the third RFP, but my impression is that every time the RFP goes out, there is progress made. There was progress from the

Right: A standing-room-only audience listens to information about the kayak RFP. Ashley mackin first to the second and (presumably) the second to the third. We are 100 percent committed to making it better,” Stropky said. “We want to see if there are some things we can change to make the whole process better for everyone — kayak concessionaires, the community and the lifeguards.” A worry that has repeatedly been brought to his attention, he said, is capacity. Currently, approximately 54 tours can be put on the beach in a day, with 10 kayaks per tour. He said capacity cannot exceed what is now in place. “We also heard loud and clear there is an issue with the (kayak company) trucks parking,” he said, and that lifeguards are looking into the use of Kellogg Park parking

lot at night and other parking options within the limits of the law. “We will look into every viable way to address that concern.” Certain issues, such as whether surfboards and paddleboards could be integrated into the RFP and thereby follow the same rules, were verbalized at the meeting, but the RFP in development is strictly for kayak concessionaires. Other possible RFPs, Stropky said, “are on the captain’s radar.” It was also mentioned that shops that merely rent equipment, and not conduct a service (such as take kayaks down to the beach or conduct tours) are not bound by the RFP. Shores resident Wayne Thomas worried that because the contract terms apply for four years, residents unhappy with those

terms would “have to live with it.” However, Lucas explained that it’s written into the RFP that terms be flexible enough “to allow for significant changes,” and the RFP would undergo an annual review. “I want members of the community, so all of you, not just members of our board, to be a part of that review process,” he said. Once the RFP is approved, it will be open to businesses that would like to apply for an RFP contract. The new RFP will go into effect April 1. u — La Jolla Shores Association next meets 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8 at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, 8840 Biological Grade. LJSA.org

Rottweiler documentary ‘Black Beauty Breed’ to screen in La Jolla By Ashley Mackin For one night only, Landmark La Jolla Village Cinemas will screen the documentary “Black Beauty Breed,” about the unknown skills and heart behind Rottweiler dogs. The first feature documentary for director Angie Ruiz, the film features La Jolla resident Dr. Julie Swain, who trains search-andrescue dogs, including Rottweilers. In the film, Swain was interviewed about her experience with training her Rottweiler Bayes. Swain, her Rottweiler Klaus, and her sister Judy were also featured in the Jan. 9, 2014 La Jolla Light article, “Double Agents: Twin sisters are La Jollans, cardiologists and search-and-rescue dog ‘trainers.’ ” Swain’s experience was ideal for illustrating the message of the film, Ruiz said, because, “The film is about the positive character traits and inherent working ability of the Rottweiler breed. I wanted to show the side of the Rottweiler the general public is not aware of.” In the course of her research, she said, “I asked people (who didn’t own one) what they think of when

‘Black Beauty Breed’ plays for one night only, 8 p.m. Sept. 25 at Landmark La Jolla Village Cinemas. they see a Rottweiler. Every single one of them either said they are dangerous or they are guard dogs. I found that really enlightening.” Given their natural ability to herd, cart and search, the

Because of their ability to herd and search, the Rottweiler is considered part of the Working Dog group. Courtesy Rottweiler is considered a Working Dog breed that includes the Saint Bernard, Siberian Husky, Great Dane and Bernese Mountain Dog. Ruiz also reports Rottweilers were used as search-and-rescue dogs in

the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. All of this was unknown to Ruiz when she got her “Rottie” Samson in 2007. “At the time, he was nine months old and the family in

Bakersfield that had him was going to take him to the pound,” she said. “I offered to take him to the Rottweiler Rescue of Los Angeles. In the midst of that transportation I fell in love with him and decided to take him in.” At the time, she and her husband, Mark Terbeek of La Jolla, knew nothing about Rottweilers, so she did research online. “There was a ton of negative stories about them. I was looking for documentaries or videos so I could understand the dog better and there was nothing,” she said. So she made one. A filmmaker with Wandering Films, Ruiz spent six years to research and create the documentary. It premiered in June in Los Angeles, where Ruiz and Terbeek now reside, and is making the film festival rounds. u n IF YOU GO: The La Jolla screening of “Black Beauty Breed” will be 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 25 at Landmark La Jolla Village Cinemas, 8879 Villa La Jolla Drive.

La Jolla Family Dentistry is ready to handle special-needs cases By Marti Gacioch When a child with special needs has a dental emergency, anxious parents need an immediate remedy. Thankfully, La Jolla Family Dentistry stands ready to help with a 24-hour hotline linked to the dentists’ cell phones.

Jana is a dental anesthesiologist — one of only 300 in the United States. Eric is an oral maxillofacial surgeon specializing in oral surgery, including dental implants, wisdom teeth extraction, Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ) and trauma care. Recently, Jana responded to a parent’s request to help their severely mentally challenged 19-year-old son. “He was in acute pain with an infected molar, which we took care of in one visit,” she said. “We were able to safely and comfortably treat him under anesthesia, so he had a good experience. We not only treated his problem, we were able to establish a new outlook for him as to how he viewed a dental experience.” A mother’s nervous call requesting help

Royal Dance Academy expands into Sorrento Valley From RDA Reports

Royal Academy

Royal Dance Academy in the Piazza Carmel Shopping Center of Carmel Valley has provided dance classes for thousands of children over the past 13 years. It is known as the dance studio many children call “their second home,” but has been bursting at the seams for a number of years. Due to a high demand for more dance opportunities and additional performing arts programs, RDA is expanding and introduces Royal Academy of Performing Arts (RAPA) soon to be opened in Sorrento Valley. RDA will continue to operate from its very successful Carmel Valley Studios (next to Ace Hardware and Hallmark), and RAPA will be a new entity in Sorrento Valley. RAPA will not only provide an extensive dance program incorporating all aspects and styles of dance, but it will also provide acting lessons, singing/voice lessons, musical instrument lessons, yoga, Pilates, Gyrotonics, nutrition, conditioning, life coaching and educational tutoring. The new 15,000 square-foot facility will also host a juice/snack bar, five large dance studios, Pilates reformer studio, acting studio, three music/voice rooms, a large studio including an auditorium with retractable seating for in-house performances, homework room, large waiting area and a dance store. RDA already offers many ballet classes for recreational dancers to pre-professional level

dancers. RDA is the only studio in San Diego offering the world renowned “Royal Academy of Dance” ballet syllabus which trains dancers as young as 5 years of age. Dancers in the RDA program have an opportunity to take ballet examinations where an examiner flies in from anywhere in the world to assess them. The results have always been outstanding and the children love receiving their certificate from the Royal Academy in London. RDA also has a competitive program with 30 teams of dancers competing in jazz, hip hop, tap, lyrical, musical theatre and contemporary. Students also have the

opportunity to perform solos. Although RDA produces excellent dancers and winning teams, the whole experience is

more important than just winning the trophy. RDA provides more than just a dance class and technique. Children learn life skills, build friendships and create memories to last a lifetime. That is what RDA and RAPA will always maintain as their mission statement. As well as a thriving competition program, RDA and RAPA hope to provide the whole spectrum of performing arts opportunities for children of all ages and levels. RDA has been voted “Best Dance Studio” on the north coast for the last five years and is proud to be serving the community and surrounding region. u n Royal Dance Academy, 3880 Valley Centre Drive, Suite 201, San Diego.

Our basic rights are under attack, daily By J. E. Ward Concerned Resident of La Jolla

Guest Commentary

re you tired of seeing and hearing the daily assault on our constitutional rights under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution? I am. Let us be clear on exactly what the First Amendment says: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The informed U.S. citizen knows this Amendment was written to ensure that any and all U.S. citizens have the right to practice the religion of their choice and that no one religion would be imposed on anyone. The First Amendment provides for the freedom of religion and the freedom from a single religion. It was written to prevent the “establishment of religion,” but not to prohibit the promotion of religion or the open encouragement of religious practices. Unfortunately, the ultra-liberal courts and ultra-liberal minority interests have distorted the true and intended meaning of the Amendment. All too frequently, we hear of incidents like Janie who was told she could not wear a necklace with a cross on it, because it may

offend someone in her class. Or Johnny, who was told he could not bow his head and say a prayer in silence over his lunch, because the school did not allow praying in school. Or Mary, who was removed from her classroom after saying, “God Bless You” after one of her classmates sneezed. Most frequently, freedom of religion rights are being attacked relative to Christian religions. However, the “anti-religion” activists and atheists do not and will not limit their actions only to Christians. These highly vocal and active minority groups have extensive goals to remove religion from America. Some of their activities and actions are obvious and overt. Some are more subtle or covert, designed to undermine our basic rights and religious values. By assailing our history and traditions, these vocal minorities attack our religious rights and moral standards. Some attacks are as open and as obvious as those by individuals and groups that attempt to remove the word “Christmas” from events and situations. It is both sad and misguided. To a further extent, these activities become attacks on our freedom of speech and the principle of majority rule. These highly vocal minority groups, using behind the scenes

maneuvers with community leaders, continue to insist that their agenda should prevail over the community’s majority view. Those who stand up to maintain our religious rights, or freedom of speech, or to preserve our moral standards, are often branded as “bigots” or “racists” or even “anti-Semitic.” In the pursuit of a singular agenda, these groups attempt to gain credibility and personal protection by gathering a few like-minded individuals into a self-promoting and selfpreserving group with a clever label like the “Diversity and Inclusiveness Group.” These myopic individuals push their individual agenda by dragging out old history of the La Jolla community to demonstrate incidents of prejudice, bigotry or discrimination. Naturally, they fail to note that today La Jolla is most diverse and inclusive in religion, in ethnicity and in race. The world has changed and La Jolla has changed. Take a look around and appreciate what this community stands for and its values. Let us not live in the past, and let us be grateful for who we are and what we have today. Let us not allow a few biased individuals to tear apart our wonderful community. The silent majority cannot be silent when our basic rights are being attacked. As Edmund Burke stated, “Evil will prevail when good men do nothing.” u

Our READERS WRITE

Slow progress on lifeguard tower hurting La Jolla Thank you to letter-writer Doug Burleigh, who in last week’s La Jolla Light was the first to say that the pace of construction for the new lifeguard station at the Cove is going maddeningly slow. As a builder, I have some understanding of schedules, and at the current pace, the work could take years to complete. This is not an exaggeration. The work began in February. It is now September. After eight months of construction, it is my guess the work is 20 percent complete. At this rate, the work will go on until summer of 2017. If the work is 35 percent complete at this time (although I doubt it), it will complete in early 2016. An interesting question to ask the architect, builder or city official is what percent of the contract amount has been paid to the contractor? That is usually a good gauge of the percent of completion. Someone please tell me I have it all wrong! This year, due the construction, La Jolla lost the 84th annual Rough Water Swim, which has provided fun and competition for 2,000 swimmers each year (plus thousands more spectators). How much did this cost La Jolla and our local businesses? Get ready to see this event cancelled again in 2015, unless local political and business leaders do something quickly to significantly change the construction pace and have everyone involved engage in the full-court-press necessary to complete on schedule in March of 2015. By the way, my calls to the City of San Diego phone number posted on the construction fence, which invites calls for information at (619) 833-4207, have not been returned. I hope someone with clout can do something before it is too late. For another day, we can explore why an

80-square-foot lifeguard station costs $1,850,000 ($23,000 per square foot). Fred Steiniger La Jolla

La Jollans need time out to consider follies of late Glenda Rothberg’s letter in the Sept. 11 issue relaying her experience with an Animal Control officer harassing Nancy, an elderly, handicapped woman and her off-leash dog, Pearl, left me appalled. I don’t know Nancy but I’ve frequently seen her and Pearl during my walks and it’s always warmed my heart. This dog is no threat to anyone and that officer should be fired for incompetence and abuse of power. It’s also highly unlikely that he just happened to be passing by at 7:30 a.m. on a Saturday, which means a neighbor must have called anonymously, which would be yet another example of the breakdown of our community where people run directly to authorities to handle minor conflicts instead of just talking to each other. It’s not surprising, as common sense left La Jolla a long time ago. We’ve allowed environmental extremists to turn our beloved Children’s Pool and Cove area into a stinky, toxic dump of seal and bird poop where even the slightest action toward relief involves jumping through multiple bureaucratic hoops and years of wasted time. We also spend millions of dollars erecting lifeguard towers (are they gold plated?) whose building never ends, while the ugly construction shackling is left standing during peak summer seasons. We are also on the verge of losing the word “Christmas” to activists who want it taken out of the name of a parade that celebrates, wait for it ... Christmas! C’mon folks! No one is excluded from attending or participating in the parade

and many people of other faiths enjoy it. That is the very definition of diversity is it not? Even more ridiculous, we now have San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Cindy Marten threatening to pull student participation from the parade if the name isn’t changed. Seriously? Talk about an abuse of power! This is not progress, it’s madness, and those of us who still have and appreciate common sense need to start pushing back. We stand to lose a lot more than a beach and a parade name if we don’t. Tricia Butler La Jolla

7 letters regarding the Christmas Parade name n 1) Grinches are out to steal Christmas again. Why some people never give up trying? Christmas is a special holiday that reminds us to be a gift and blessing to others. It carries the message of love and hope, goodwill and peace to all mankind from the heavens. It’s a deep tradition enriched with great stories and songs. Merchants all over the world love it because gift giving is good for business. Changing the name, Christmas, implies there is something shameful or wrong with it. The Grinches say it is the lack of inclusiveness. To the contrary, we know it is celebrated on all continents by people of all ethnic groups, even in oppressive communist countries, with the exception of radical Islamist states that would like to see Christians and Christmas eliminated. I think the pretense of inclusiveness is a disguise for something more sinister. Perhaps it’s deepseated vengefulness for perceived wrong doings by a few “misbehaving Christians” in the past? Few other religions preach forgiveness and tolerance like Christianity. In the name of

OPINION

LA JOLLA LIGHT - september 18, 2014 - Page A27

Our READERS WRITE (Continued) inclusiveness, please do not exclude believers and lovers of Christmas. Last time I checked, freedom of peaceful gathering is still protected by the Constitution. The more parades the merrier. The suggested replacement name of “Holiday Parade” just doesn’t cut it. We have holidays throughout the year. It only means to me any long weekend followed by a “no garbage pick up Monday.” As for our new city school chief Cindy Marten, Ms. Marten, please think how teaching the spirit of Christmas may be good for your school curriculum. Your proposed bully tactics to include street closure denial and forbidding school bands from the parade participation really smacks of tyranny. Don’t copy Vladimir Putin. Sutton (Bob) Chen, M.D. Resident of La Jolla since 1965 P.S. To Mr. Howard Singer, just because other cities have renamed their Christmas parades, it doesn’t mean we need to imitate them, or we should call ourselves Les Lemmings instead of La Jollans. n 2) I just read the Sept. 11 issue of the La Jolla Light. Reporter Pat Sherman’s portrayal of the La Jolla Christmas Parade meeting topic was fair, balanced and exactly right. Thank you for this report. Fran Zimmerman La Jolla n 3) Regarding last week’s issue, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. There are La Jollans ready to defend all the way to the Supreme Court that what is clearly a religious symbol is somehow “inclusive” of all veterans. There are other La Jollans who want to take “Christmas” out of a parade in which Santa Claus is a participant, and yet in all of this, no one notices that the Christmas/Holiday/ Inclusive/Exclusive Parade was scheduled on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor? Sunday, Dec. 7 — a date which will live in infamy, but not, apparently, in the priorities of La Jollans. As a relative newcomer, I will assume that the parade has been held on that date in other years. Nevertheless, this year, when there is so much talk about changing the name of the parade that even the San Diego school superintendent has gotten involved, I’m sorry that no one pointed out there’s more to commemorate in December. I feel I’m as much at fault for not attending July’s LJCPA meeting, when the date was set. Civic duty lesson learned. Karen Heyman La Jolla n 4) The assault on the name of our Christmas parade reported in your last issue makes me feel like one of the persecuted Christians in Iraq. This is still a predominantly Christian country and those who don’t like it should consider moving away to a secular humanist state where political correctness rules the day. When I last pointed this out in June, I got a phone call from someone who then proceeded to harass and bully me to try to change my point of view. I hope this doesn’t happen again. The current parade, which celebrates the birth of Christ, is appropriately named. Leave it alone. No one is being forced to attend. John Cotter La Jolla

n 5) And just who does Cindy Marten think she is? The Queen of Children? The children who are enrolled in schools within the San Diego Unified School District are not pawns of the superintendent. Her private-citizen opinions are no more than just exactly that, personal, and nothing more. No, she does not speak on behalf of the Board of Education, her employer. The “cautioning” quotation she espoused at the LJCPA meeting on Sept. 4 sounds like a clear blackmail threat to me. Jack Stevenson La Jolla n 6) Kudos to the La Jolla Community Planning Association trustees for their fairness, patience and understanding about a diversity and inclusiveness issue. We have been told the La Jolla Christmas Parade excludes no group; it’s name should reflect that fact and mirror the reality of our democratic, secular, global, 21st century society. Period. Howard G. Singer La Jolla n 7) Your article regarding the Christmas parade seemed to be slanted to name-change proponents. I wonder if these “politically correct” individuals in their youth ever celebrated Christmas with a tree and hanging stockings by the fireplace hoping Santa Claus would fill them with goodies. School Superintendent Cindy Marten should be ashamed for threatening to deny student participation if the name is not changed. If Santa is watching these politically correct proponents, I hope he fills their stockings with a lump of coal. Norman Henry La Jolla

Seals at Casa Beach are a gift to us all I, too, am tired of the so called “seal debate,” which if we were a humane society would be no debate at all. The Village of La Jolla has been abundantly blessed with many wonders of nature, among them, the La Jolla Cove, Torrey Pines State Reserve and Seal Rock Marine Mammal Reserve. I, like thousands of visitors to America’s Finest City fortunate enough to visit the seals at the Casa/Children’s Pool, have been delighted by the opportunity to view a group of wild animals in their natural habitat. What a rare and unique privilege. It is the only seal rookery on the California mainland south of Carpenteria and I am saddened and ashamed that there is a small, selfish and insensitive vocal minority in our midst that want to destroy this unique habitat. Our nation, along with others, openly condemns countries in Africa and Asia for encroaching on habitat and displacing their wildlife. Yet we think nothing of doing here what we condemn in others. We have 73 miles of recreational coastal beaches within San Diego County. This calculates to 0.1 percent of the San Diego County Recreational Beaches being used by the seals. With our 385,440-foot coastline in San Diego County can’t we be kind or generous enough to allow the seals to have just 300 feet? For the seals the use of this

tiny piece of sand is a matter of life or death. For us it is simply for recreational pleasure which could be satisfied somewhere on the remaining 385,140 feet of coastal beaches. I would like to quote a friend of mine, Virginia McKenna, co-founder of the Born Free Foundation: “We can no longer pass through paradise in a dream. It is vanishing before our eyes and at our hand. Before it is gone forever, we must try to rekindle a spiritual awareness, try to recapture a forgotten innocence, and put ourselves into our true perspective as sharers of the Earth, as compassionate protectors, not as masters.” Florence Lambert 44-year resident of La Jolla

Children’s Pool and seal waste must be addressed by the city It is inane for a layperson to post that the presence of seal fecal matter in the Children’s Pool is somehow beneficial to the local ecology. This is akin to letting dogs defecate in a yard and saying it is beneficial for a neighborhood! The presence of so many protected carnivores in such a small area cannot benefit the local ecology. If anything, it will destabilize it by removing natural biological controls. Regarding the sluiceways, on Sept. 14, 2004, the city passed resolution 299646 directing city staff to undertake an effort to examine the feasibility of opening the sluiceways to restore water quality. Nothing was done. On Aug. 25, 2005, Judge William C. Pate

directed the city “to reduce the level of water contamination in the Pool to levels certified by the County of San Diego as being Safe for humans.” The city fought this ruling and changed the Trust governing the Children’s Pool. This change was interpreted as relieving the city of responsibility for making the Children’s Pool safe for humans. The city went so far as to request that they be allowed to close all beach access year around. On Aug. 14, 2014 the California Coastal Commission gave the city permission to completely close the Children’s Pool beach to ALL human access for five months, considered important for harbor seal pupping. As part of this decision the city was directed to allow unfettered beach access to humans the remaining seven months and to examine the feasibility of opening the sluiceways to clean the beach. The city was given five years to come up with a plan. Given the city’s past performance, the probability that they will actually look at opening the sluiceways is remote. The five months for seals/seven months for humans is a viable solution to a seemingly intractable problem PROVIDING the city restores the water to human contact standards. If this is not done the offer to make the beach available to humans is hollow since a potential hazard is still present, especially to children who would play on it there. David W. Valentine La Jolla

Our READERS WRITE (Continued) From Letters, A27

Children’s Pool seal waste is indeed a problem I gotta hand it to Jim Hudnall (Opinion, La Jolla Light, Sept. 11). He does a great George Orwell impression: Fecal matter on the sand at Children’s Pool is good for the ecosystem; clean sand would be harmful. He presents a specious argument that fecal matter deposition at Children’s Pool is an important benefit to the health of La Jolla lobster populations. C’mon, get a grip. La Jolla lobster populations have done just fine in all the years previous to seal over-population at Children’s Pool. As the old refrain goes: You should have been here in the ’40s. Please note, my letter here is not in any way intended as a slight to the writer personally; I’m sure he means well. I’m only trying to point out some of the misinformed ideas that have surfaced in regard to the Children’s Pool seal overpopulation situation. Stephen Roberts La Jolla

Early mornings for the dogs is all LOLA seeks The group LOLA (Limited Off Leash Area), in my opinion, represents the epitome of what a community can bring to bear. They are responsible, caring, considerate individuals united by their common love of their best friend — their dogs. I have met many on the beach and enjoyed their camaraderie as the dogs frolic. This has gone on for

years with little, if any enforcement of the existing leash laws. These people, myself included, are not scofflaws, far from it, but have come together as a result of a demand by one individual with a backdoor to the mayor’s office, who demands there be no unleashed dogs on her beach and leash laws be strictly enforced. My 30-pound terrier likes to play with two, 90-pound Bouviers. They bounce her all over the beach like a soccer ball, yet she comes back for more. Some dogs chase birds, some each other, some balls, and some their tails. They tire after about an hour or two in the sand and we all go home. These people are better stewards of this beach than nearly all the people they share it with. We all pick up after our animals, each other’s animals, as well as the homeless, the smokers, the drinkers, the picnickers, the careless, and some young families who think diapers left on the beach naturally disappear. Mondays are the worst. A few hours in the morning —when no one is about — is all we are asking. By nine we are gone. u Zeke Woolley La Jolla

In their only loss so far, they lost to Cathedral Catholic 2-1 on Sept. 11. n Girls Volleyball: In an odd coincidence, the first two games in the La Jolla High girls volleyball season had the exact same result.

Let Inga Tell You

The cushy life of the pampered pet

La Jolla Cultural Partners

or the sixth straight summer, our granddog Winston has summered in La Jolla. We just pretty much expect that Winston will arrive with our younger son when he comes down for the La Jolla Half Marathon in late April and stay until early October. My son and daughter-in-law tend to have a lot of weekend trips in the summer months — weddings, etc. — and it’s far easier for them to just leave Winston here rather than for my daughterin-law to make multiple trips from L.A. with tiny kids in the car to drop him off and pick him up. Never mind that Winston hates being in the car. He made a special point of that one trip by having a severe case of lower intestinal instability in their back seat. Aside from the fact that we truly adore Winston and are happy to house him, we just wouldn’t put Winston in a kennel. Not even the Ritz Carlton of kennels. The ostensible reason is that Winston is not reliably friendly with other dogs and we’d hate for him to be on lockdown because decided to eat a Chihuahua. But even more so, if we’re honest, neither his parents nor we could bear for Winston not to have the amenities, the love and

attention, and the lifestyle to which he has become accustomed. He definitely gets it at Camp Grammy and Grampy. We admit it: we are total suckers for our pet (in this case, surrogate pet). This still doesn’t keep us from laughing at some of the sacrifices that other people make for theirs. A friend was recently telling me that she couldn’t wait for the hot weather to be over as it was stifling in her bedroom. She hadn’t had a decent night’s sleep in weeks. But, I said, don’t you have ceiling fan in your bedroom? Yes, she said, but she can’t use it. It annoys the cat. At a party recently, I spoke with a woman who makes homemade fresh food for her dog (he eschews frozen or dried.) The dog is particularly fond of green beans, but he only likes them cooked in certain ways (not microwaved; he can apparently tell) and with a light gravy of hamburger drippings. She rarely travels anymore, she lamented. No matter who she hires to come in and care for the dog, she’s convinced they don’t make the dog’s food the way he likes it. She’s especially suspicious they’re microwaving. In our case, Winston likes to play a game that my husband refers to as “reverse

fetch.” Instead of our throwing a ball and Winston going to get it, Winston delights in batting the ball under pieces of furniture or in inaccessible corners then whining piteously until we go and get it for him. A minute later, it’s back under there again. We tell ourselves that we can easily dissuade him from this game by ignoring him. Let him whimper and whine all he wants. But Winston is nothing if not persistent. If action is not forthcoming, he ratchets it up a few notches, instinctively whining especially loudly when it’s a crucial play in a baseball game or a key point in a movie. We cave. And we’re making fun of the friend with the fanaverse cat? One issue we have with Winston in La Jolla that he doesn’t have at home in L.A. is that he seems to be allergic to a multitude of things here that he is not subjected to at home. It totally baffles us: what’s here that isn’t there? Inquiring minds want to know. Even pumping him full of Benedryl twice a day and regular applications of the Frontline flea stuff, the poor little guy seems to be perpetually itchy. Our vet here (with whom Winston is on a first name basis) has prescribed a regimen of products with which Winston’s ears, skin folds, and toes must be cleaned daily. Preferably two — or even three — times daily. Cleaning between the dog’s toes the other day, I observed to Olof that it helps that we have no life. Several times this summer, despite our heroic efforts, the allergies have turned into nasty ear or skin infections. When we had him at the vet again this week, they

recommended that we might want to take Winston to a dermatologist. I said, “I don’t think our dermatologist sees dogs.” The vet said, “No, a doggie dermatologist.” I know what our dermatologist charges so I can’t even imagine what the services of the canine version cost. It’s both the good news and the bad news that anything you can do for a person, you can now do for a pet. Fortunately for us, there’s a cheaper solution: Sorry, Winston. Time to go home. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

Find authentic-style Japanese fare at Samurai By Kelley Carlson fter nearly 30 years in business, Samurai Japanese Restaurant is practically a North County legend. First opened in 1979 by David Song, it was the first Japanese restaurant in the area, said Song’s son, Charlie Song. It was located on Highway 101 in Solana Beach, until it was destroyed by a fire in 1986. Yet like a true warrior, the business survived the tragedy, and reopened a year later on Lomas Santa Fe Drive. Today, the establishment continues to thrive under Charlie Song, who took over as owner when his father died in 1992. Guests can choose various types of settings — whether it’s relaxing at the sushi bar or cocktail lounge, relishing a meal in the dining room, watching chefs slicing and dicing their way through foods at a teppan grill, or experiencing the fare “Japanesestyle” in a Tatami Room. Originally, Samurai only served sushi, but the menu has expanded over the years, featuring authentic Japanese cuisine prepared in the “old-style tradition,” Charlie Song said. In the teppanyaki dining room, patrons are seated around a teppan table, which features an iron griddle. Chefs provide entertainment of sorts, playfully flipping utensils while preparing grilled fare such as chicken, steak, scallops, prawns, mahi mahi, salmon, calamari and vegetables. Customers can request them individually or in various combinations, including the Samurai Special with filet mignon and lobster.

Guests can enjoy Japanese-style dining with low-level tables in the Tatami Room.

On The Menu Recipe n The Recipe of the Week is Samurai’s Sunomono Salad Find it at the bottom of the online version of this story at lajollalight.com or visit www.bit.ly/otmrestaurants Teppan dinners are served with miso soup, salad, a shrimp appetizer, vegetables and rice. Those who are seated in the dining room have a different set of menu options. They may start with an appetizer such as Yakitori, a shishkabob with alternating pieces of grilled chicken lightly glazed in a sauce with peppers and onions. Other starters include Gyoza (pork dumplings), Fried Calamari, Harumaki (egg rolls), several types of tempura (deep-fried seafoods and vegetables) and more than a dozen other choices to whet the appetite. Entrée selections range from Tonkatsu (deep-fried pork cutlet), Sukiyaki (sliced beef and vegetable soup) and Teriyaki Chicken, to Yosenabe (seafood, chicken and egg soup) to Lobster Tempura. Since it started as a sushi establishment, Samurai is most widely known for its raw fish. Among its specialties is the Rainbow Roll, which has an outer layer of avocado

Sunomono Salad combines raw seafood and cucumber with rice vinegar. and assorted fish, and an inside that contains the standard California Roll fillings of avocado, cucumber and crabmeat. The rice is prepared in a mix of vinegar and a dash of sugar. Another popular draw is the sashimi, with varieties such as bluefin tuna, hamachi (yellowtail), sake (salmon), hirame (halibut), tako (octopus) and albacore. In the semi-private Tatami Room, guests pad barefoot across mats and settle on cushions placed on the floor before lowplatform tables. Then, patrons put trust in the chefs’ choice to create a delicious meal (omokase). Reservations for these rooms are required at least a day in advance, and the cost is between $80 and $120 per person. For a less formal setting, patrons can head to the recently remodeled cocktail lounge or the 50-seat sushi bar for happy hour specials on select wines, beers, well drinks, hot sakes, sushi rolls and appetizers. u

n Step 2: Attend events where seniors gather. To meet like-minded people of a similar age, Galarza recommends places like the La Jolla Community Center, with programs already in place where men and women gather. Other options include book clubs and church events, and finding meet-ups where like-minded gather to partake in a particular activity. She said she’s seen meet-up groups for wine tasting, hiking, and painting — all targeted toward older people.

n Step 3: Have a few conversation starters ready. When the stage is set, people still need to know how to open a conversation, how to approach someone they don’t know, and how to read body language. These skills are taught in Galarza’s classes.

Prime Rib -- 5PM --

“What is it that you are hoping to achieve?” Galarza poses. Making one’s intentions clear, she said, is very important with seniors, because dating in their youth had a different meaning. “Senior citizens come from an era when there were different means of courtship. A woman I was speaking with brought up a really good point that the relationships of her generation were pre-marital; couples knew they were going to get married because that’s what you did.” Coming from that era, however, can also be a benefit. “When you meet people of similar age, that makes dating easier because there are common topics you grew up with and historical events that open people up and act as conversation starters,” she said. (Think: Where were you when Kennedy was shot?)

For seniors who are computer-savvy, there are online dating sites available. These come with a strong word of caution, Galarza said: have safety measures in place. One measure is to create an e-mail account for dating online with a name that helps conceal identity, like a nickname. Another measure is to always let someone you trust know where you may be meeting a date you’ve arranged online. “During class, we show seniors how to do

Trouble with a local dating service was the reason the course was created, accordng to Eva Dunlap, administrative assistant at the La Jolla Community Center. She explained that several members, mostly women, approached her about a dating seminar, but it never materialized. When a member went to an in-person dating service and nearly got scammed, community center staff decided it was time to look into the topic. “This member called us for directions to the dating place because she didn’t want to use the freeway,” Dunlap said. “When I looked up the service, review after review reported it was a scam. One reviewer said she got scammed for $3,000. We couldn’t let our member go.” So Dunlap and Community Center Director Nancy Walters searched for an expert who could tailor a dating class to seniors, and found Galarza. “We just fell in love with her personality,” Dunlap said. “We hope the class picks up and those ready to date come to our other events — Jazz Night or Opera Night — because they can be really romantic evenings.” She noted that with almost 600 members, the opportunity for making friendships abounds, some seniors just need some tools and practice. u

Jack Whitten retrospective opens at MCASD this weekend From MCASD Reports

Jack Whitten’s ‘Black Monolith, II: Homage to Ralph Ellison the Invisible Man’ (1994) is made from acrylic paint, molasses, copper, salt, coal, ash, chocolate, onions, herbs, rust, eggshells and razor blades on canvas.

ith 60 canvases from the 1960s to the present, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) will host “Jack Whitten: Five Decades of Painting,” Sept. 20-Jan. 4 at 700 Prospect St. in La Jolla. The show will be the premiere installation of the largest traveling, full-career retrospective exhibition of this consistently active artist. For 50 years, Whitten has explored the possibilities of paint, the role of the artist, and the allure of material essence in his innovative studio process. “With compositions that are abstract and elegiac, Whitten operates with both discipline and intuition,” write curators in a press release advancing the exhibit. “Whitten foregrounds material properties of paintpigmentation, viscosity, and mark-to capture the momentary and suggest the

FROM MCASD, B8 and adopted his call for peaceful protests. Ultimately, the incivility Whitten encountered during such protests caused the artist to abruptly leave the South, moving to New York City. Art scholars often describe Whitten working through the gestural influences of Abstract Expressionism before achieving creative maturity in the mid-1970s. This show will debut a series of small black-andwhite “ghost” paintings from 1964 that reveal Whitten working “without the wrist” almost a decade before his noted abstractions of the 1970s. These early wet-on-wet paintings are followed by an interlude of gestural works (his “garden” series), which may be seen as a digression from the material-based experimentations to which he returns in the 1970s. Throughout the ’70s, Whitten emphasizes formal innovation and devises tools to help him produce his effects — long-handled squeegees, rakes and serrated combs. As his

RSVP at mcasd.org/events figurative references fade, his intent to realize the total picture plane in a single gesture ascends. Works from the period will include test slabs and drag canvases, which were featured in Whitten’s 1974 one-person exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. For more than three decades, Whitten has spent a portion of each year on the Greek island of Crete. He often breaks down words to their Greek etymology and, in the late1970s, used the Greek alphabet as an ordering system for his optical canvases. In these primarily

black-and-white works, Whitten subtly introduces color by rubbing pure powered pastel into the wet acrylic. By the 1980s and 1990s, Whitten amplifies his plastic treatment of the acrylic paint by working directly with Aquatec staff and introducing acrylic emulsions such as Rhoplex. Collage, an admitted influence of Romare Bearden, manifests itself in Whitten’s tessellated constructions, wherein he creates paint tiles and then adheres them to the canvas: he breaks down the paint to remake the painting. In these decades

Jack Whitten’s ‘Apps for Obama’ (2011) is made from acrylic paint on hollow core door. Whitten also develops overall textures and patterns with imprints of screens, grates and other materials. As the century turns, Whitten references bar codes

and apps — the geometry of the Information Age. This retrospective will be followed by a national tour, and is accompanied by a richly illustrated publication

with a lead essay by exhibition curator Kathryn Kanjo, an artist interview conducted by art historian Robert Storr, and new writing by poet Quincy Troupe. u

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

Prepare for a rough ride through ‘Kingdom City’

“K

ingdom City,” Sheri Wilner’s play about a small Midwestern town where biblical teachings collide with worldly ambitions, has a terrific cast who must portray some unlikeable characters. There are a lot of twists in this drama, but by the time some of them arrive, I was already too irritated to care. New Yorkers Daniel (Todd Weeks) and his wife, Miriam (Kate Blumberg), decide to leave the Big Apple for the small town of Kingdom City. Daniel is a writer who has not published anything. Miriam is a theatrical director who has not yet directed a play. Their plan is for Miriam to teach theater at a Missouri high school while Daniel works on his writing prospects. Miriam jumps right into her plans with her class of students (only three are actually on scene.) Katie (Cristina Gerla) is a sweet product of the Bible land, dating her boyfriend Matt (Austyn Myers), wearing a promise ring and attending youth pastor Luke’s (Ian Littleworth) purity classes. Matt is a meek young man, eager to be an actor, be with Katie and adhere to Pastor Luke’s way of life. It’s clear right off the bat that Miriam is ready to work with these two. Enter the

crazy, nearly psycho Crystal (Kate Sapper), who practically assaults the teacher as she arrives like a hurricane. She demands that everything center on her and not her coactors, whom she belittles and calls names. Crystal is ecstatic when Miriam announces she plans to direct the controversial work, “The Crucible.” She immediately marches up to Matt with inappropriate words and gestures. “No real actor is religious,” she gushes, thinking this will gain her favor with the director. Miriam and Daniel are Jewish. Miriam doesn’t expect the school’s backlash when administrators refuse to let her produce the Arthur Miller play. At this point for me, “Kingdom City” begins its negative skid to the end. Foremost is the excessive use of profanity by Crystal and her vulgar accusations at those on the scene. Playwright Wilner’s theme of accepting different points of view is surely a valid issue in today’s complex world, however the message grows degrading and off-kilter as the drama progresses. When Miriam learns she can’t stage the play she wants, it seems to be more about her than the conflict of whose opinion is right or wrong. Daniel’s character has little

input into the controversy and his so-so attitude adds nothing to the plot. Youth Pastor Luke intimidates, manipulates and accuses his students Matt and Katie rather than becoming an effective mentor, which is irritating. Crystal’s unending self-righteous, pompous attitude, excessive use of profanity (and one action that for me went too far), is constantly grating. “Kingdom City,” directed by Jackson Gay, is on stage in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre, which for this production, divides the seats into two sides facing each other. From my response to the performance,

after the Intermission, I wasn’t surprised to see some seats now empty. While the drama itself did not work for me, the Playhouse creative team did a good job with the staging, set design and lighting. The cast members were spot on in their portrayals, even though their characters weren’t pleasant. u n IF YOU GO: “Kingdom City” is on stage through Oct. 5 at Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UC San Diego campus. Tickets from $15 at (858) 550-1010 or LaJollaPlayhouse.org

Singers invited to audition for La Jolla Symphony & Chorus

ingers with excellent music reading skills and a serious commitment to music are invited to audition for La Jolla Symphony & Chorus, which offers a season of choral masterworks and premieres at Mandeville Auditorium on the UC San Diego campus. Auditions for singers in all voice parts are 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 22; 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28 and 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 4. Male singers are especially needed.

Which Luxury Watches Hold their Value Best?

the latter’s more desirable dual quickset movement, which was introduced in 1988 and is still used today. Like with antique cars or fine art, rarity is also a big factor when it comes to a watch’s value. It’s simply supply and demand. In some cases, a rare, coveted watch can actually appreciate in value, like the Patek 2526 or maybe a vintage Panerai (see my article on investment watches). Rarity, however, can be slightly deceiving. The more bizarre watches, those flooded with diamonds or designed with strange shapes and colors, are typically more trendy and can be difficult to sell, lowering their value. If you want a watch to hold as much value as possible, it’s smarter to buy a conservative style from a strong, recognizable brand, like Rolex or Patek Philippe. Watches That Hold Their Value Best In general, a standard luxury watch will lose anywhere from 20-70% of its original value depending on the factors discussed above. If you want your watch to retain its value, your best bet is to buy pre-owned, thereby eliminating that first big chunk of retail margin that you shell out when you buy brand new. Secondly, choose a strong and recognizable brand that is

likely to depreciate less. To get started, here is a recent list of the brands that are found at opposite ends of the depreciation spectrum: Watch Brands That Hold Value Better - Patek Philippe - Rolex - A. Lange & Sohne - Vacheron Constantin - Jaeger LeCoultre Watch Brands That Depreciate Faster - Piaget - Ebel - Concord - Tag Heuer - Hublot Although the internet has greatly improved customers’ knowledge of the industry, it is always best to consult an expert watch buyer. Someone who is well versed on how to evaluate a watch’s condition and mechanics, as well as someone who is active and up-to-date with the current market. If you are thinking of buying or selling a luxury watch or want to learn the value of your current timepiece, please stop by our La Jolla store or contact us at http://diamondestate.com or 858-454-2200.

What brought you to La Jolla? My husband was offered a job in the aerospace industry in San Diego, so we moved to La Jolla a little less than one year ago. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would re-pave all the roads in La Jolla! They're in horrible shape and that makes running with my running stroller really difficult and dangerous — not to mention super bumpy for my 2-year-old daughter! If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I would invite my favorite movers and shakers — Jesus, Oswald Chambers, Coco Chanel, Amelia Earhart, Kara Goucher, Giada de Laurentiis, Jillian Harris and Ryan Raddon. What are you currently reading? Right now, I'm reading “Parenting with Love & Logic” and the occasional issue of Trail Runner Magazine. What is it that you most dislike? This is a loaded question! Probably political corruption ... and running injuries! What is your most-prized possession? That would be my sweet, 2-year-old daughter Maven. She is the most amazing and joyful little creature; she keeps me on my toes and reminds me to slow down and be present! Who or what inspires you? My parents have always been a huge source of inspiration to me. They are both such giving people and until I became a mom, I didn’t realize how much they really did for me and my sisters when we were growing up. Their enthusiasm and encouragement really set the bar high and shaped my perspective for what it means to be a supportive wife

No. 2014-0214558 in Book —- Page —- of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SAN DIEGO County CALIFORNIA. YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED MAY 18, 2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. 301 SEA RIDGE DRIVE, SAN DIEGO (LA JOLLA AREA), CA 92037 “(If a street address or common designation of property is shown above, no warranty is given as to its completeness or correctness).” Said Sale of property will be made in “as is” condition without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest as in said note provided, advances, if any, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. Said sale will be held on: SEPTEMBER 24, 2014, AT 10:30 A.M. *AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE TO THE BUILDING 321 NORTH NEVADA STREET OCEANSIDE, CA 92054 At the time of the initial publication of this notice, the total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the above described Deed of Trust and estimated costs, expenses, and advances is $2,499,996.86. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (888) 988-6736 or visit this Internet Web site: salestrack.tdsf. com, using the file number assigned to this case L544980 L. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the
