ENLIGHTENING LA JOLLA SINCE 1913
SNEAK PEEK
La Plaza set for opening in January By Pat Sherman Construction on the former Jack’s La Jolla restaurant and nightclub complex is again moving at a steady pace, in anticipation of its planned January 2015 reopening as La Plaza La Jolla boutique shopping center. It was announced early this summer that Catania coastal Italian-style restaurant will open in the prime, third-floor corner space, though representatives for building owner Davlyn Investments have been mum as to what businesses will occupy 21 other spaces in the three-story, 27,000-square-foot building at the corner of Wall Street and Girard Avenue. During a tour of the building Sept. 10, Tara Meehan of Davlyn Investments assured that several national brand retailers have signed leases at La Plaza, and that Davlyn is in negotiations with other prospective tenants. “There’s been a lot of interest,” Meehan said, noting that Davlyn Chief Operating Officer Jon Williams has “really stuck to his vision” for an upscale mix of tenants with a synergy that will make La Plaza a shopping/dining destination. He hopes to court a clientele that will linger and enjoy the ambiance. “He’s looking for what is going to fit this building and fit La Jolla,” Meehan said, adding See La Plaza, A18

It is designed to train educators and nonprofit leaders, focusing on three initiatives: charitable giving, strengthening gender relations and coaching students to be inspired learners.

Finding A Cool Spot
onday afternoon on Sept. 15 (in the middle of the heatwave), I drove up to Mt. Soledad. I snapped this picture of Mike and Nancy Beruman (who were visiting from St. Meinrad, Indiana) enjoying the view. Their daughter’s dog, Beau, had the right idea. He was more interested in finding a cool spot than digging the scene! — Sharon Hinckley
he Rig2Reef exploration project, spearheaded by Scripps Institute of Oceanography graduates Amber Jackson and Emily Callahan, is a finalist in the National Geographic magazine’s Expedition Granted contest and in contention for $50,000. The winner is selected by a public vote, which is open through Sept. 29. Callahan formerly told La Jolla Light that underwater oil rigs situated off the U.S. coasts, in place for decades, allow sea life to grow on the bases, effectively turning them into artificial reefs. Rig2Reef is an alternative to the complete removal of decommissioned oil rigs, allowing the sea-life that has grown on them to thrive.

TARNISHING OUR JEWEL
Bridge over Torrey Pines Road is again in sad, unkempt state n The bridge near the intersection of Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Shores Drive also connects The Children’s School to local businesses. This picture at left shows the numerous unsanitary items and trash that has not been cleaned in the past two weeks. Residents, children and visitors walk across this bridge every day. It doesn’t take 250 words to express how terribly inadequate it is not to maintain this bridge in a basic, sanitary condition. Steve Montal La Jolla Shores
Photo by Steve Montal
n Living in the Hidden Valley area of La Jolla, I use the pedestrian bridge a couple of times a week. The bridge has always been poorly maintained, there have been broken lights, piles and piles of leaf litter, broken branches, and at one end it was dark and overgrown with an ornamental fig vine. It seems in recent months the solution for the overgrown vine was to cut it off at the roots allowing it to die. Now when driving into La Jolla via La Jolla Parkway, everyone gets to see the dead vine across the bridge. It just looks horrible! I’ve noticed that the homeless people are using the bridge as a toilet and for sleeping. This is just disgusting! Parents and their children use this bridge to get to and from The Children’s School and many others use it to get to the beach. The pedestrian bridge needs to be regularly cleaned and cared for, and the dead vine needs to be removed. The situation gives an awful first impression of a

Gala to benefit youth sports mentoring program By Pat Sherman Although squash is considered by most to be an elitist East Coast sport, for the past eight years a nonprofit organization operating out of a business park near La Jolla has been leveling the playing field, introducing the sport to students from poor, underserved neighborhoods. Each week after school, 10 students enrolled in the Preuss School at UC San Diego are picked up by van and driven to the Access Youth Academy campus in Sorrento Mesa, where they receive both academic tutoring and instruction in squash — a sport played on a court with racquets. “For three hours half of the students are on the squash court learning the game, while the other half are getting … additional, very
targeted, very specific tutoring and mentoring in subjects like math or English that (they may be) struggling with,” explained La Jolla resident and Access Youth Academy Board Chair Blair Sadler, the former chair and chief operating officer of Rady Children’s Hospital. “Many students have said that it made the difference in keeping their grade point average up or even increasing their grade point average to be able to get into a great college.” Access Youth Academy will hold its second annual fundraiser, “A Squash Soiree,” 6-10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18 at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, 2000 Spindrift Drive. Tickets are $300 each or $3,000 per table at (858) 202-0406 or stayclassy.org/squashsoiree The gala will feature a cocktail hour, dinner, silent auction and guest speakers.
The a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization is funded by individuals or foundations, and events such as a beer run held last month at the Embarcadero downtown. Students enter the program in seventh grade, continuing on until they graduate high school, receiving further guidance in their college years through the academy’s “Twelve Year Promise.” Sadler said first-generation college students studying out of state at an institution like Columbia University or Dartmouth College often drop out without the support of family close by. “Through our academic enrichment program we want to make sure that they have the highest chance of graduating from college,” Sadler said. “I think we do a good job.”

Parks & Beaches board tables action on off-leash dog hours La Jolla
Parks and Beaches n Group will revisit the issue Oct. 27 after delving deeper into proposal’s pros and cons By Ashley Mackin Amid a standing-room-only audience Monday evening, Sept. 24 in the library’s community room, the La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory committee heard arguments in favor of and against a proposed one-year trial period for a limited off-leash dog area in La Jolla. The board listened to more than an hour of presentations and public comments before deciding to table the discussion and potential vote to next month’s meeting.
Those in favor
acknowledged doing so when she moved to the area in June 2013. “The dogs got socialized and exercise, and we met and got to socialize with our neighbors. It was a wonderful experience for newcomers to the area,” she said, adding in her experience, those who allow their dogs to run off-leash self-police each other when it comes to dog waste and behavior. “That all ended in May when the city was asked to start enforcing leash laws vigorously, even early in the morning. I was sad about that and met others who were as well. So, being a lawyer, my thought was, we need to change the law. We need to legalize the activity.”
La Jollans gather at the library to discuss the issue with Parks & Beaches board members on Sept. 24. Photos by Ashley Mackin
Linck began circulating a “Dear Neighbor” letter to gather feedback, and reportedly received more than 100 e-mails — just four of them negative. Based on the feedback, she and two other residents drafted a proposal, suggesting legal off-leash hours only before 9 a.m. in a limited area. The proposed area is Marine Street Beach (north of Marine Street up to the dividing area known as Horseshoe Point), with an alternative site at WindanSea Beach (south of Playa del Norte to a natural barrier near the beach access point). Linck said her group is not looking to designate the area as a “dog beach” similar
to ones at Ocean Beach and Fiesta Island. Proposal co-author Scott Staub addressed concerns that have been brought to their attention. He explained the group found a study of off-leash dog areas conducted by UC Davis that provided guidelines to make the areas successful. They used it as the basis of their plan for La Jolla. “The primary concern with providing an off-leash dog area is safety, at least for me that would be the first thing I would look at,” he said, noting the UC Davis study reported “injuries to people and dogs from dog bites at legal off-leash areas are rare.” To keep incidences low, suggestions included not bringing puppies to off-leash areas,
s
Speaking as a proponent of the off-leash area, proposal co-author Nancy Linck of La Jolla touted the benefits of allowing dogs to run on the beach off-leash, and

La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory committee members, including chair Dan Allen (standing), hear arguments for and against the proposed off-leash dog area. supervising young children and only allowing dogs in the area that are receptive to vocal commands. Proposal proponents also suggested not bringing dogs that bark excessively, and limiting the number of dogs each person can bring to three. These regulations would be posted on a sign at beach entrances. Regarding sanitation, Staub said his experience reflected Linck’s in that he has seen dog owners police themselves, picking up dog feces and any other trash they find. Staub said early morning hours and lack of parking would deter out-of-towners and keep usage at a minimum. “Other dog areas have parking, we do not have parking (specifically for that area), so it is a disincentive to those users to come here,” he said, questioning who would come out to La Jolla, find parking, run their dog

and return home to clean up — all before they have to go to work.
Those opposed With each side allotted 30 minutes, those in opposition had their chance to present. As part of the basis for her disapproval, Barber tract resident Cynthia Chasan explained that the geography of Marine Street Beach and WindanSea Beach are not the same as other off-leash areas or dog beaches. She said Ocean Beach and Fiesta Island have natural barriers between the beaches and nearby homes, public parking, trash cans and access points so the city can maintain the areas. The same, she said, cannot be said for Marine Street Beach, and that WindanSea, although having trash cans, is densely

populated and frequently used, even before 9 a.m. She displayed time-stamped photos of the area before 9 a.m. that showed children on the beach. Regarding the natural barrier that would define the off-leash area, Chasan and others questioned whether they would be effective borders, and who would enforce compliance. She also expressed concern that signs defining the rules dogs and dog owners must abide by would have to be posted at each beach entry point, and she showed the crowd what the sign at another San Diego dog area looks like. Insisting she is not against the concept, but the location, Chasan said she and others she spoke with would be more amenable to another location. She suggested Cuvier Beach (though Chair Dan Allen said the area goes by many names), behind the Museum
of Contemporary Art in La Jolla or La Jolla Shores. Chasan said these areas have similar assets to Ocean Beach and Fiesta Island — public parking, trash cans, access points for city cleanup crews and distance from residences. Other concerns raised came from those who reported being “nipped at” and “knocked over” by off-leash dogs, and those who witnessed aggressive canine behavior. Observing that the La Jolla Parks & Beaches board needs to look at the issue “at length and in depth,” Allen suggested the discussion continue at next month’s meeting, 4 p.m. Monday, Oct. 27, at a location to be announced. Any vote taken then would be passed to the city’s Department of Park and Recreation for consideration. To contact the group, visit LaJollaParksAndBeaches.org u

Retraining your immune system to fight cancer
G
iven the complexities of cancer, there is not — and likely never will be — a single way to destroy it. Instead, the oncologist’s armamentarium must be stocked with many weapons, which include diverse advances in chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and stem cell technologies. Often, treatment is a combination of the above. But even combined approaches are not enough. Cancer cells evolve. They fight back. And so, too, must cancer science. Among the most promising developments is immunotherapy, which employs the body’s own immune system to seek out and kill cancer cells and tumors. “Cancers not only have to figure out how to grow, they also have to learn to evade the immune system,” says Sandip Patel, M.D., a medical oncologist and assistant clinical professor of medicine at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. “Our bodies fight foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses routinely. Our bodies also reject organs from other people, something we actually try to prevent with organ transplants. What if we take that logic and retrain our immune systems to reject a tumor as a ‘foreign organ?’” Cancer immunotherapy is not a new
idea. In the late 1800s, William Coley, a New York surgeon, observed that getting an infection after surgery helped some cancer patients get better. He began injecting patients with certain kinds of bacteria, which came to be known as “Coley toxins,” but his experiments were soon overshadowed by other approaches, such as radiation therapy. For immunotherapy to successfully emerge demanded a fuller and deeper understanding of how the immune system works and how it can be tweaked to more diligently and smartly attack cancer. That time has come. Immunotherapy involves different kinds of treatments. Some broadly boost the immune system; others train it to target specific cancer cell types. There are many variations, but I’ll briefly discuss just a few: monoclonal antibodies, cancer vaccines, T-cell therapies and immune checkpoint blockades. n Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are proteins naturally produced in abundant numbers by the body. They circulate through the bloodstream, looking for specific foreign proteins, called antigens, found on invasive microbes and foreign cells. Different antibodies stick to different
antigens, and then signal other immune system cells, such as macrophages, to come and destroy the invasive cell. A lot of research is ongoing to synthesize mAbs specifically designed to seek out proteins found on cancer cells. For example, we’ve just launched the first-ever phase one clinical trial to test a novel stem cell-based mAb therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the most common form of blood cancer in adults. The approach was discovered and developed here in the lab of Thomas Kipps, M.D., Ph.D., deputy director for research at Moores Cancer Center. n Some cancers are caused by viruses. Strains of human papilloma virus, for example, have been linked to cervical, anal, throat and other cancers. People with chronic hepatitis B infections are at higher risk of liver cancer. Cancer vaccines work differently than those used against viruses like the flu. Rather than attempting to prevent illness, they are designed to attack a disease that already exists by training the immune system to recognize and attack targeted cancer antigens — and remember them in the future. n Some treatments stimulate the overall immune system in ways that better help the body rid itself of cancer. They may involve cytokines, such as interleukins and interferons, that help immune system cells grow and divide more quickly. The BCG vaccine, based on a bacterium originally designed to treat tuberculosis, is also used in bladder cancer, where it appears to spur a local immune response against tumors.
n T lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that play a central role in immunity. Some T cells help other white blood cells. Some destroy foreign cells. Some remain after a threat is eradicated as “memory” against future threats. A variety of immunotherapies focus on different ways to make T cells more effective at their jobs. Many cancers counter such measures by exploiting the immune system’s safety features for avoid attack on normal cells. These cancers may dim or turn off immune signals to T cells or erect shields behind which they hide or fend off attack. Much progress has been made in stripping away these corrupted protections, knocking down shields so that T cells kill cancer cells. n This kind of immunotherapy, dubbed checkpoint blockade, has proven very effective for treating melanoma, and researchers at Moores and elsewhere are expanding similar efforts into cancers of the lung, colon, breast, bladder, prostate, kidney, head and neck. “What if we can release the brakes that have been placed on the immune system by the tumor, so your body’s immune system can remember how to fight the cancer and kill it,” said Patel. “This is the current reality of our immunotherapy clinical trials, which look across tumors to the various brakes cancers puts on the immune system. We have therapies that can interfere with those brakes, unleashing the renewed immune system against the tumor.” u — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.

Planners ‘respectfully reject’ city’s advice on election challenge La Jolla Community Planning Association n George’s at the Cove patio expansion approved

point two available seats were filled by top vote-getters Costello and Cindy Greatrex. LaCava said that though the city advised him not to proceed with the July election, he did so based on the “passion of the trustees at our April meeting” and to “make the best of the awkward situation we were in.” “There has not been any challenge to the mechanical aspects of how the March election was conducted,” LaCava said. “There were several complaints about (our) planning group’s operations, and the city dismissed every one, except one.” Senior City Planner Lesley Henegar, who was in attendance Sept. 4, drafted the city’s final recommendation letter to the LJCPA for recently departed City Planning Director Bill Fulton. Henegar maintained the city’s
recommendation that Morton be seated complies with both council Policy 600-24 and the LJCPA’s bylaws. The city’s recommendation letter states the ballot should have informed people that new candidates receive priority over those who are termed-out. However, it was noted during LJCPA’s August meeting that Henegar was present during the March election, reviewed the ballot and was alerted to the “unusual situation,” though Henegar maintains this did not equate to her tacit approval. “Community planning groups are selfgoverning,” Henegar said. “I don’t get involved in every election. … Please, folks, resist the temptation to put words in my mouth or actions that I did not take. It is offensive.” Trustee Rob Whittemore said the
s
By Pat Sherman During its September meeting, La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) trustees spent more than an hour crafting a response to city officials regarding challenges to the group’s March election, which were filed with the city by several individuals. In August, the city issued the group a strong admonition that failure to follow its advice to seat March board candidate and architect Michael Morton could result in a loss of the group’s certification as one of the city’s 42 recognized planning groups, as well as its legal indemnification. Several LJCPA trustees elected in March or July recused themselves from voting on the election challenge, including Michael Costello, board president Joe LaCava and board vice-president Bob Steck. On Sept. 4, trustees grappled with a difference in how they and city officials are
interpreting the LJCPA’s bylaws, San Diego City Council Policy 600-24 (which governs city planning groups, including the LJCPA) and administrative guidelines for 600-24 drafted by the city attorney’s office. Although Morton received the fewest votes of any candidate in the March election, per Policy 600-24, new candidates who receive even one vote should get priority over those who have exceeded term limits and are vying for another term, as was LaCava. Termed-out candidates are allowed to run for an additional two-year term, as long as they receive two-thirds of the vote and there are not enough qualified candidates to fill available seats, per Policy 600-24. Like LaCava, former LJCPA treasurer Jim Fitzgerald was termed-out, yet ran again in March because there were initially not enough candidates to fill available seats. The 11th-hour addition of three write-in candidates changed that. “The problem goes back to, not the way the election was handled, but the interpretation of Policy 60024,” said Fitzgerald, who resigned despite receiving a required two-thirds of the vote. Fitzgerald noted that during the March election nine candidates received votes — “four on the original ballot, three write-ins and two termed-out candidates” (himself and LaCava), he explained. “In my opinion,” Fitzgerald said, “even though I received a large number of votes, the termed-out candidates should not have been seated (or) declared the winners.” Another election was held July, at which

responsibility for the election quandary falls on “multiple parties,” adding he believes the city is engaging in fear-mongering and should hold another election instead of seating someone who received so few votes. Trustee Ray Weiss suggested the best solution would be for the city to accept the results and work to prevent a similar situation from occurring in the future. To seat Morton, Weiss said the group would likely have to unseat president LaCava. “That’s not acceptable because it undoes five months of things that we have done,” Weiss said. “It doesn’t work.” Morton — who was in attendance — reminded trustees to consider how the election was handled, and not his “politics” or the way in which he has voted on development-related issues as a member of other committees. Trustee Patrick Ahern suggested that to maintain the LJCPA’s credibility and standing, trustees should seat Morton and put the election challenge behind them. “I kind of like Mr. Morton here,” Ahern said, to the grumbling of some in attendance. Ahern said that while Morton may not agree with trustees on every issue, he might add “creative abrasion” and “different points of view.” One audience member likened the severity of the city’s proposed consequences to “extortion.” “I just don’t understand why the city has invested so much in this?” she questioned. “Why are they so interested in this? I think the answers might explain a lot of the inconsistencies.” In the end, Whittemore made the following motion: “Having considered the

LaJollaCPA.org city’s recommendations as detailed in their letter of Aug. 27, 2014 we affirm the elections of March and July and respectfully reject the city’s advice.” The motion passed 9-1-4, with LaCava, Costello, Steck and secretary Helen Boyden abstaining, and Ahern in opposition. Boyden suggested during next month’s meeting the group discuss sending a LJCPA representative to a city council meeting in October, when the council is expected to consider a proposed amendment to Policy 600-24. “The LJCPA should let the city council know how the staff management interpretation of our bylaws have an affect on the community,” Boyden said.
In other LJCPA news n Valet parking approved: LJCPA trustees approved an amendment to Eddie V’s valet parking permit that extends its operations to coincide with the Prospect Street restaurant’s new weekend lunch service. New valet hours are 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The request was approved unanimously in July by the LJCPA’s Traffic and Transportation (T&T) subcommittee, then pulled from the LJCPA’s consent agenda last month for further discussion.

Husband and wife Claude-Anthony and Deborah Marengo are representing the Prospect Street steakhouse pro bono. Claude-Anthony Marengo is president of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association and a partner with Michael Morton in La Jollabased Marengo Morton Architects. Deborah Marengo noted that the T&T’s approval was contingent upon Eddie V’s adding the words “public welcome” to its valet signage to let people know they do not have to patronize Eddie V’s to use the valet service, which she said the owner has done (though it is not required per San Diego Municipal Code). “One board member said there were some allegations that they were illegally parking cars on the street and not using the garage that’s designated for the valet parking,” Deborah Marengo added, assuring that all Eddie V’s employees are now required to sign a statement agreeing to only park cars in the establishment’s designated garage spaces. Trustee Dan Courtney said there are potentially more valet parking spaces on Prospect Street than public spaces, bemoaning the loss of such public spaces to benefit private businesses. “Several years ago we were going to have a moratorium on the valet increase until we
had a comprehensive study on the impacts of valet parking and find out if it really helps or hurts,” Courtney said. “That hasn’t really happened and I think we should continue to have that freeze on these until that study is done.” A motion to approve the valet extension passed, with opposition from Courtney and trustee Fran Zimmerman (who felt the Eddie V’s sign should be uniform with other Village valet signage). n George’s expansion approved: Trustees were in accord with the LJCPA’s Development Permit Review (DPR) subcommittee in approving the proposed expansion of the outdoor patio area at George’s at the Cove restaurant. Restaurateur George Hauer is seeking to relocate and expand the bar and reception area of his Prospect Street establishment by 800 square feet. The DPR’s approval was contingent upon Hauer agreeing “to either install or cause to have installed screening to conceal from view the existing and new mechanical equipment on the roof of the building.” n Tour bus nuisance: Sally Miller reported that tour busses are parking and leaving their motors idling for extended periods in La Jolla Shores, impacting patrons at outdoor cafes with noise and exhaust fumes. LaCava said he believes this activity violates San Diego’s vehicle code. u — La Jolla Community Planning Association next meets 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2. Visit lajollacpa.org for meeting location.

From Muirlands, A1 “The students really take responsibility for their learning,” enthused Klein, who graduated from University of California, Santa Cruz with a double major in economics and environmental studies. “They care deeply about their academic grades and citizenship (and are) motivated by their performance. … It’s a campus anybody could feel proud of.” Nevertheless, as he begins his first full school year in La Jolla, Klein said he’s eager to put his stamp on Muirlands, ramping up character development and 21st century skills. “Those are two things I’m really, really passionate about,” said Klein, who for nearly a decade has served on the board of directors for University of San Diego’s Character Development Center, as well as with San Diego Unified School District’s “Learning on the Go” program, which supplies middle school students with wireless netbook computers for school and home use. Klein said he hopes to add new elective courses for students in seventh and eighth grades that are in line with the Gateway to Technology program, part of Project Lead the Way, a national K-12 organization providing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curricula. Among Gateway to Technology’s pre-engineering electives for middle-schoolers are: Automation and Robotics, Design and Modeling, Energy and the Environment, Flight and Space and Green Architecture. Because such courses work best when the instruction continues into high school, Klein said he has been meeting with La Jolla High School Principal Chuck Podhorsky to build a stronger bridge for students between middle and high school. Klein and Podhorsky also plan to have their staffs and departments meet and collaborate on specific learning goals, which Klein said has not happened in several years. Klein said he was heartened to learn that La Jolla schools have such a strong focus on STEM education (as well as the arts). He plans to host a STEM-based career fair on campus in March. “All the research I’ve done suggests that that’s where the jobs are going to be,” he said. “The competition is dramatic in those areas, so putting emphasis on STEM is something that I think will prepare students to be thinking about jobs and opportunities that may not exist yet, or that they might

not have considered.” A former principal at Clairemont’s Toler Elementary School and, most recently, Innovation Middle School (a publicallyfunded, seventh- and eighth-grade charter school focused on technology education), Klein said he welcomes the challenge of leading Muirlands, which has about 1,050 students enrolled this semester — more than double that of Innovation, plus an additional grade level. Klein said it was a difficult decision to leave Innovation earlier this year. “I put my heart and soul into opening (that school), hiring the entire staff and building that program; it was kind of like an independent, mom-and-pop type business … something that I really believed in and worked hard to build,” he said. “I’ve been very selective my entire career about where I wanted to be and where I thought I could add value. I saw Muirlands as a school that already had a great reputation and a lot of positive things going, but I saw that there were things that I could contribute to improve the school.” Klein said he wants to continue the collaborative environment between educators fostered under Hargrave’s tenure, where teachers model themselves as lifelong learners through professional development. Klein also wants to see teachers move from traditional, by rote lecture-type instruction to a Common Core Standards model by which teachers pose questions that require students to form opinions, take stances and evaluate and critique their thinking, as well that of their peers “We call that ‘collaborative conversations,’ and it’s a requirement,” Klein said. “So, a student can’t be successful in a class by sitting quiet, being passive and absorbing

Before preparations begin, Muirlands is seeking parents and local scientists, engineers and industry leaders to volunteer as coaches for its team.

information. Students need to be contributing to discussions, defending their thinking and revising their thinking based on the thinking and sharing of others. … It’s an expectation of this campus and a part of their whole grading process. … The majority of the speaking should be coming directly from them. … It’s their learning environment. That requires real explicit planning and pacing by the teachers, knowing what type of questions to ask.” As a result of engaging in an educational dialogue with their peers, he said, students become more invested in their education, often exceeding established expectations. “The sense of (having an) audience does force students to improve the quality of their work,” said Klein, who began his teaching career as an outdoor educator in Veronia, Oregon, later going back to earn his teaching credential. He landed his first job in the San Diego Unified School District 15 years ago, as a teacher at Spreckels Elementary School in UTC. With a goal of being both hands-on and accessible, Klein said he tries to spend three hours of his day in the classroom with teachers and students. “The best part of any principal’s job is

A North County resident, Klein and his wife have a 5-year-old son and are expecting their second child in January. As such, he said he’s encouraging his staff and teachers to maintain a healthy balance between their work and professional lives. “I (respond to) e-mail all the way up to midnight, one in the morning. I don’t like to fall behind,” he said. “But now I’m trying to also have balance in my life. … Having my own child actually forced me to not be a workaholic and to have boundaries.” Asked what a student should know if they ever find themselves in the unfortunate position of being sent to Muirlands’ chief disciplinarian, Klein laughed. “First of all, be honest. If you made a mistake, admit it, take responsibility and we’ll learn from that mistake,” he said. “I’m very much interested in second and third chances and I want to teach students how to take responsibility and make the right decisions, and I will reinforce the idea of choices.” u

A walkway connects two of the main tenant spaces on La Plaza’s third floor. Catania restaurant is scheduled to open in the space at right in January 2015.
From La Plaza, A1 Williams has turned away some prospective tenants, while actively courting other businesses that fit his vision. “He’s been using the word ‘curate’ a lot, because he’s really very selective,” Meehan said, noting Williams’ ideal tenants adjacent Catania are an upscale salon fronting Girard Avenue and possibly a wine/cognac and cigar bar fronting Wall Street. “The property has a colored past,” project representative Cindy Weigle said, referencing the building’s former lack of accessibility and dim interior that left it almost completely vacant after Jack’s La Jolla closed in 2009. “I think he’s looking to make it right this time.” To increase accessibility, Williams added an elevator and clock tower on the Girard Avenue side, by which all three levels can be accessed, and widened stairs and walkways.

Bluemotif Architecture is designing the space, which Kassel said would be warm, but less “kitschy and crafty” than the décor at Whisknladle, a block away on Wall Street. “Restaurants over the last couple years have started to look more and more alike, I’d even say homogeneous,” Kassel said. “We are going to challenge ourselves and our design team to break away from that and do something drastically different.” Parking for La Plaza shoppers will be in the garage of the adjacent Brooks Brothers building.

Davlyn is hoping the building’s historic Spanish and Moroccan flourishes will also lure people into La Plaza. San Diego-based Unique Stone Imports said Rancho Santa Fe-based Stafford Design strove to “complement the other historic Spanish influenced landmarks of La Jolla, while giving this project its own sophisticated interpretation of the style,” stated press material. The building is designed in the vein of 1920 Spanish Revival estate — from ceramic, inlaid steps to encaustic tile wall murals. An entry fountain along Girard Avenue features embossed stoneware and turquoise ceramic tile. Meehan said waiting for the custom tile, stone and woodwork to be delivered also delayed the project. Catania owner Arturo Kassel, who also owns nearby Whisknladle restaurant and three Prepkitchen locations, said he will hold a soft opening in January and open Catania to the public ideally in early February.

From Sanford Center, A1 of Arizona State University (ASU) in establishing both the “Inspire” and “Harmony” programs. “I conceived but I couldn’t complete (them),” he said. “It took a great organization, ASU, to do the research and the programing, and another type of organization, with a different type of methodology and a different characteristic, to put it all together — and that is National University.” Founded in 1971, National University is the second-largest private, nonprofit institution of higher education in California, with 30,000 students and more than 140,000 alumni. National University President Michael Cunningham, formerly dean of San Diego State University’s School of Business Administration, thanked the mayor and city for helping create the center, located adjacent National University’s existing La Jolla campus, in less than nine months. Cunningham said National University is constantly working to assure its programs are innovative and relevant to societal needs. “That’s a great segue way into the programs we’re offering here at the Sanford Education Center,” he said. “Our goal is by the end of two to three years to be in all the major (private, nonprofit) universities across the country, offering the Sanford-inspired programs.” Sanford touted existing collaborations with other private, nonprofit institutions, such as Long Island University, with which National University signed a memorandum of understanding last week to offer The Sanford Harmony Program, which encourages positive relationships between girls and boys from pre-kindergarten through sixth grades. Developed by ASU researchers, the program empowers teachers to foster relationships between boys and girls that increase cooperation, inclusion, mutual respect and empathy. Sanford said research has shown children in the program have improved test scores and enjoy the learning environment more, and that boys display less aggression.

Sanford referenced additional research that he said shows gender segregation in children can lead to relationship problems in men and women, as well as an increase in divorce, sexual harassment, abuse and workplace discrimination. Sanford said there have been similar programs addressing the problem, “but they just don’t get the job done.” “The Harmony Program came from two divorces that I had to go through and the recognition that the divorce rate in this country is about 65 percent … that’s unhealthy,” said
Sanford, who initially approached John Gray, author of the classic “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus,” to write the curriculum. (Not coming from an academic background, Gray declined and Sanford approached ASU President Michael Crow.) However, the program does have a martian theme in the form of its gender-neutral space mascot, “Z from the Planet Z.” The Sanford Harmony Program will be introduced to 30 classrooms in California, Florida and New York City by year’s end, center officials say. The Sanford Inspire Program will provide teachers with tools and strategies needed to encourage student learning in kindergarten through 12th grade. Sanford said surveys show that most people can’t name three teachers they had in elementary and middle school that truly inspired them. “Those are the most formative years, and the ones where someone has to help them light their own spark,” he said, adding the program mirrors the model of Teach for America, a nonprofit that enlists recent college graduates and professionals to teach for at least two years in low-income communities. “Their primary attribute is to get kids inspired,” Sanford said. “They do it at poverty-level schools. We’re going to do it at all schools.” The third center initiative, the Sanford Institute of Philanthropy, will provide training in nonprofit leadership with an emphasis on fundraising techniques, cause selling and relationship building, through programs being developed by National University’s School of Business and Management. Bob Kelly, who served for nearly 20 years as president of the San Diego Foundation, was hired as the institute’s executive-in-residence. Sanford Institute of Philanthropy is expected to launch a master of arts degree in Cause Leadership in Spring 2015. Sanford Education Center includes a lecture hall space, capacity for 150-plus people and integrated video technology. u

Sound is one thing. Making sense of it is everything. BrainHearing technology provides a wide range of hearing benefits to its user, including: • Helping both ears work together • Recognizing and preserving natural speech • Separating speech from background noise • Coordinating how sound is best understood by your brain What happens in your ears when you listen to a conversation is actually a very small part of the process of hearing. The real heavy lifting is done by a different part of your body: your brain. It’s in the brain that sound waves become sounds that have meaning to you. Your brain is what uses the information from your two ears to figure out where a sound is coming from. And your brain is what helps you focus in on a conversation and tune out unwanted noise. And because no two people’s brains are the same, no two people hear the same. Recognizing that your hearing is as unique as your fingerprint inspired Oticon to innovate their revolutionary BrainHearing technology. BrainHearing technology enables Oticon hearing instruments to be minutely tuned by a hearing care professional to match your unique hearing profile and personal sound preferences. Then it delivers sound with the clearest, purest signal possible in the way your brain is best able to understand it. BrainHearing technology delivers a more natural, effortless listening experience — one that leads the industry.

trends & events The La Jolla Wellness Studio offers innovative fitness options With so much emphasis on living a healthy lifestyle these days, people are realizing that while exercise and eating correctly are a step in the right direction, having a personal trainer can also be a huge benefit. In La Jolla, the La Jolla Wellness Studio offers a wealth of personal training options and has a staff of dedicated and passionate individuals who work with clients to achieve their own unique goals. “Committing to a lifestyle of fitness is about living your life to its fullest,” studio managing director Michelle Racine said. “A personal trainer can provide accountability and motivation, as well as help you reach your goals by making changes to your exercise program regularly and seeing where you can make changes to your eating habits. A personal trainer can also determine if the goals you’ve set are realistic for you.” At the studio, the revolutionary, patented 30-minute workout called the MyoMetrix Method is a new implementation that can provide an extremely satisfying workout. This method utilizes state-of the-art equipment one-onone with a personal trainer and the 30-minute workout boasts the same effectiveness as 100 minutes of weight training, 60 minutes of aerobic exercise and 20 minutes of stretching. “Most trainers bring new ideas to challenge both your body and your mind,” Racine said. “Knowing how to set up a complete exercise program that includes cardio, weight training and flexibility can be overwhelming. This is where La Jolla Wellness studio makes things easy for you.” Other benefits of the MyoMetrix Method include increased energy, strength and flexibility, enhanced elasticity of skin, ability to help eliminate diabetes, normalized cholesterol and blood pressure, strengthening of collagen and stimulation of muscle fiber, anti-aging with improved blood circulation, digestion and flexibility and the burning of fat and building of muscle. Also at the studio are three machines that add to the allure of getting into better shape. A Body Composition Analysis device will answer questions like where muscle mass is distributed through the body and how this impacts mobility, what a person’s body composition is and how it impacts what they can eat to lose weight and what an individual’s body water levels are and how they impact energy. Sound and Motor Vibration devices deliver a reduction in cortisol (a person’s stress hormone) and lactic acid (an enzyme that makes one sore) such that an individual better prepares for and recovers from the workout, maximizing its impact. A Range of Motion (ROM) Machine delivers a High Intensity Training workout in four minutes focusing on cardio, muscle development or both. Racine added that even if certain people want to change their quality of life with an exercise regimen, doing it alone may not be the way to go. “More people should utilize a personal trainer rather than going it alone to execute a fitness program in a safe and effective way,” Racine said. “An experienced trainer can also help heal injuries and avoid further problems.” The studio, located at 7580 Fay Ave., Suite 103, is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Sunday by appointment only.

Lantana’s bright flowers attract butterflies, birds
G
This trailing lantana has intensely bright yellow flowers.
rowing in sunny spots in many gardens at this time of year is lantana. Sometimes called red or yellow sage, and a member of the verbena family of plants, lantana grows widely across the southern United States. The main species cultivated is Lantana camara, but there are dozens of varieties and hybrids. Native to the tropical Americas, lantana is successful here because it is fairly salt tolerant and drought resistant. This makes it ideal for growing in coastal locations like La Jolla, although it has a tendency to become invasive in some places if it escapes cultivation. A favorite visiting spot for butterflies and hummingbirds, lantana can be planted to attract pollinators of many types. All parts of the plant are said to be poisonous to animals, although birds reportedly enjoy the fruits. This shrubby plant has bright green leaves and cheerful bunches of flowers, often with multiple colors and hues on the same umbrella-shaped cluster. The flowers have a unique fragrance that’s not quite flowery. The smell has been described in various ways, both pleasant and unpleasant (citrus, sage, onion, spicy,
herbal); I think it smells more peppery than anything. The leaves do smell like citrus (lemons) when crushed. A sun-loving perennial here or annual plant in cooler climates, lantana continues to bloom throughout the summer and into the fall, giving us bright spots of yellow, orange, red, and white. — Kelly Stewart is a marine biologist with The Ocean Foundation, working with NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla.

Sadler, who was introduced to the game while a student at Amherst College in Massachusetts, said squash, played in 155 countries around the world, enriched his college experience and worldview. “I know what the game can do for young people,” Sadler said. “It encourages good habits, self-discipline, sportsmanship and leadership.” Once Access students gain experience in the game during middle school, high school players travel to compete in squash competitions in Southern California and at colleges on the east coast — all funded by Access Youth Academy. Most of the students have never set foot outside San Diego and have parents who never attended college. Sadler said the experience of traveling to colleges such Yale, Columbia or Harvard is transformative. “The double whammy here is they’re not only learning to compete against other girls or boys their age from New York, Boston, Philadelphia or Chicago, but they’re also seeing these remarkable colleges and often seeing college teams play,” he said. “The results have been quite remarkable in the number of our graduates who have gotten into terrific places with full scholarships.” Sadler said Access Youth Academy is considering developing a similar relationship with Hoover High School in City Heights to accept players.

ne hundred years is a significant landmark in any life, in this case the beautiful Irving Gill historic building on Draper Avenue, home to La Jolla Woman’s Club, which has become “younger” with each passing year. Huge efforts have been made to restore and maintain the unique beauty of this property, and it has become a sought-after venue for weddings, reunions and meetings. By 1908, Gill was a well-established San Diego architect. Gill’s fountain in Horton Plaza downtown, built in 1909, remains there today. He was considered to have a mature style, marked by spare designs and ingenious technical details. One of Gill’s most prominent clients was Ellen Browning Scripps, a self-made newspaper millionaire born in England and raised on the Illinois prairies. She moved to San Diego in 1891 and to La Jolla in 1897. Gill designed many progressive projects that Scripps sponsored, including the La Jolla Recreation Center and the La Jolla Woman’s Club, which together with The Bishop’s School and her own home, formed a “Scripps enclave.” She commissioned Gill to design and build La Jolla Woman’s Club in 1913-1914. This prominently sited building is considered one of his masterpieces. It is similar to his other works in its stylistic simplicity, but here he used a “tilt-slab” construction technique to assemble the exterior arcade walls on site.

The method comprises pouring loads of concrete onto a huge table tilted 15 degrees, hollow tiles on a table (forms for walls) divided by 4-inch vertical steel bars as reinforcement and metal frames for doors and windows integrated into forms. The result is California’s first tilt-up concrete building. These walls integrate hollow, clay-block infill to lighten the slab’s weight. For the interior walls and central “pop-up” volume, however, he employed conventional balloon-frame construction. Although Gill is often associated with the tilt-up method, he used it in only a handful of structures. In the La Jolla Woman’s Club, Gill’s traditional arches frame the wrap-around porch (veranda) and a vine-covered pergola extends to the street. Walls were finished flush with the casing – walls join the flooring slightly rounded. He used no molding for pictures, no baseboard paneling or wainscoting to catch and hold the dust. The entry doors are of single slabs of hand-polished mahogany swung on invisible hinges. The roof opening (for ventilation) in the lounges was also a favorite device, and he planted exquisite gardens around the building. To recognize its historical significance, the
Where have all the lobsters gone?
When all said and done, Children’s Pool is for kids On Aug. 14, I attended the California Coastal Commission meeting on the closure of the La Jolla Children’s Pool. Both sides presented their views and there was high emotion. One side was for closing the Children’s Pool during pupping season and the other was against closing it. The argument for closure was that there aren’t any other calm beaches in the area for the seals
to go and the people just get too close and disturb them. The argument against the closure and keeping it open was that it wasn’t built for the seals it was built for people. Also little kids like to go swimming there. Lastly, it is the only good spot in Southern California where people with disabilities can swim in the ocean. My feelings were mixed because the seals need an area to be, but this place was built for children so it should remain open to the children. Kyle Heuschele, age 12 Boy Scout Troop 680, Poway
Clean Children’s Pool for the children La Jolla is so beautiful with its craggy coastline and rock outpourings — the perfect environment for seals, just as the enclave at the Children’s Pool is perfect for children. The wall helps form a small pool and is protection from crashing waves and dangerous rip currents. Let’s clean up the Children’s Pool (using the sluiceways) and return it to those for whom it was built. The seals will find other rocks and pools. Bill Graham La Jolla

The recent letter to the editor regarding seal poop on Children’s Pool beach being good for the ecosystem reminded me to dig out my lobster fishing gear anticipating the early opening of lobster season this year. After the season opens I’ll be on the beach with gloved hands waiting for the lobster to march up the Children’s Pool beach seeking all that wonderful seal poop! The lobster should be an easy catch, since they will be so distracted by the goldmine of seal poop
in abundance on the Children’s Pool beach to enhance the ecology of our environment. But wait! I remember seeing photos of the huge lobster pulled out of our local waters in the 1930s and ’40s and I compare them to the barely legal size we find so infrequently today around Children’s Pool. Let’s think about this. No seals at Children’s Pool in the 1930s and ’40s compared to hundreds there today. Huge lobster back then and tiny ones today. Thanks for the reminder, but something’s not adding up. Something about this attempt to justify stealing Children’s Pool from the children just stinks. Ken Hunrichs La Jolla

Shores seeks residents’ input on late-night project In an effort to have the least disruption to the neighborhood, the La Jolla Shores Merchant Association is requesting the city schedule its improvements between the hours of 11 p.m. through 11 a.m. This is only for the twoblock business district on Avenida de la Playa from Calle de la Plata to Paseo del Ocaso. The city has ensured us that the 12-hour shifts would be the most efficient and would help get the project completed sooner. We all want the construction to be completed in the shortest amount of time as possible. Opening the street between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. would allow the businesses to stay open and operational to better serve everyone! Parking will be available, the street would be open and therefore less traffic would be forced into the residential streets. If the work is done during normal business hours, the financial hardship to the impacted businesses, their employees, and the purveyors that sell to them would be devastating! We are asking for support in our efforts to ensure the city does the work in the quickest possible fashion with the least amount of impact. Please respond to the city notice and show your support for the proposed 11 p.m. to 11 a.m. work hours on the two blocks of Avenida de la Playa. We sincerely thank you, La Jolla Shores Merchant Association Avenida de la Playa
Thank you La Jolla Cove Swim Club for being the first ‘pillar’ on the block! As co-chairs of the La Jolla Cove Pavilion project, we would like to publicly acknowledge the La Jolla Cove Swim Club for being the first to donate $5,000 toward the schematic design of the new La Jolla Cove Pavilion. For the last two weeks, we have been presenting plans to our local community organizations to raise $34,000. We have many organizations that are very interested in supporting this critical component of the project; La Jolla Cove Swim Club was the first to step up and we want to thank them as well as encourage other local organizations to jump in! The schematic designs are critical to obtain further community support and financing. The local organizations that step up and donate $5,000 will be acknowledged on a plaque at the new Pavilion as Pillars of the Community. We are so grateful for the Swim Club’s leadership and look forward to seeing other organizations support this vital project. La Jolla Cove Pavilion will replace the current deteriorated restrooms that were built in 1967, and the new facility will house restrooms, changing rooms, showers and a place to gather. We are excited by this opportunity to take care of our park — one of our Village’s most-prized possessions. Questions?

Brouhaha over La Jolla Christmas Parade name is silly Come on folks, let’s call it what it is: It’s a “Christmas Parade.” Enough of this politically correct bs. If you don’t like it, don’t go. By the way, I’m Jewish. Donald Maescher La Jolla
Local associations may not take stands on religious basis I was in attendance at the Sept. 4 La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting and found the conduct of the trustees appalling. This was far from my first time as an LJCPA audience member, but indeed the first time I exited with the belief that the very core of our community group
LA JOLLA LIGHT - september 25, 2014 - Page A27
premise has been shaken in La Jolla. Having attended Oath of Office ceremonies at LJCPA in past, I know that to “uphold the U.S. Constitution” is not explicitly stated, yet it is obviously inherent in any civic undertaking. How is it then that the great majority of the LJCPA trustees forgot this basic duty on Sept. 4? The Constitution guarantees Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Assembly. By allowing San Diego School District Superintendent Cindy Marten and Howard Singer to request that a parade permit be denied on a religious basis, the trustees failed in their duty as La Jollans and as Americans. It is hard to fathom what Cindy Marten could have been thinking when she appeared at this public meeting. She stated she was in attendance only as a “private citizen,” yet in the next breath she said she would be reviewing the matter with school administrators and may advise that students not attend the parade based on a religious guise. A private citizen can in fact do no such thing, only a superintendent can. I ask how the LJCPA trustees could possibly veer from what they were supposed to do (which was to approve or disapprove a street closure based on traffic safety), into a dialogue on religion. If LJCPA is denying permits based on religion, it must disband as an organization. Only trustees Dan Courtney and Cindy Greatrex followed the law. No one else did. In regard to community associations as a whole, the La Jolla Light reports that La Jolla Town Council is updating its bylaws. In doing so, they should lengthen term limits and bring Ms. Greatrex back as president. This community needs strong law-abiding leaders who stand up to lawless bullies and conduct themselves in a transparent manner. Kimberly Beveridge La Jolla
Public note to School District Superintendent Cindy Marten and La Jolla CPA trustees Please carefully reconsider the long-term ramifications of the decisions you make regarding the La Jolla Christmas Parade, a magical event, a La Jolla tradition and part of our heritage. We beg to differ that the word Christmas is exclusive. Christianity represents love of neighbor as oneself and it also represents charity, hope, peace, compassion and forgiveness. The United States of America is a country based on religious freedom, but we are slowly taking this religious freedom away and relegating it to behind closed doors. It is a slippery slope. What comes next? Do you want to live in a country where Christianity is not tolerated? We can think of many nonprofit Christian organizations that help needy families at Christmastime. Perhaps they are guilty of excluding wealthy people? Every year, Father Joe’s Village takes families living in poverty Christmas shopping in an effort to bring them Christmas. Will these events be shut down because they have the word Christmas in them? We agree with Ray Weiss who said, “It made me think of places in the world where people don’t have inclusiveness. This should not be one of them . . . the questions being raised are part of the fabric of our society.” What kind of a society do we want to live in? Do we want to live in a country devoid of hope, charity, peace and love, where we cannot display a cross or any other religious symbols out of fear? We feel immense gratitude for the freedom of religion we have in our community and we beg you all to seriously consider the ramifications of what you’re doing by considering to remove the word “Christmas” from the name of the Christmas Parade. It slowly chips away at the values of our country and the fabric of our society.

City must stay neutral on Christmas parade name issue
Having focused on constitutional law at USD School of
Law, where I graduated magna cum laude with a J.D. degree in 1980, I submit the following commentary on the La Jolla Christmas Parade name issue. While this is by no means scholarly, I believe it could help advance important understanding of the First Amendment in relation to the parade. Our Constitution’s First Amendment prohibits government from establishing or prohibiting religion. The rest of us, when not acting as agents of government, have a Constitutional right, in public or private places, to assemble and establish, promote, worship and refute any religion. Government officials must remember that the public street is the paradigmatic place for freedoms of speech and assembly. In regulating streets, the city may not regulate the religious or political content of a parade. When the La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival Foundation puts on a parade, it gets to choose what to name it. Others get to choose if they wish to participate or if they wish to organize a separate parade offering prayers to Zeus, nothing, or the Universal Spirit with equal inclusion of every religion. The city must be neutral. It may not use its authority to regulate traffic as a backdoor way to favor one religion or prohibit another. The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) exists for the purpose of advising the city of local thoughts and feelings that might not otherwise get heard, but a doctrine of inclusiveness, which prohibits public expression of specific religious faith is Constitutionally outside the domain of what city government may consider. At its last meeting, the LJCPA did very well to recognize that it would be out of order (waste of time) to opine on the name of the Christmas Parade, which now offends those who seek universal inclusiveness. Note also: Christmas is enacted by Congress as a National Holiday. One explanation offered for that being Constitutional is that the broad cultural meaning of Christmas has become secular (gifts from Santa) instead of religious. However viewed, the tradition of the Christmas Parade appears safe as long as there are people to support it. John Berol La Jolla
No parade name change needed All faiths treasure tradition, so maintaining the name of the traditional La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival is in keeping with what all faiths hold dear. Founding Father Patrick Henry said, “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ! For this reason peoples of other faiths have been offered asylum, prosperity and freedom of worship here.” Ben Stein, a columnist and adherent of the Jewish faith, said he likes Christmas and is not offended by all the trappings of this season of peace. Let us move on. This community debate was lost once before. Lou Cumming La Jolla

What can we do to fix crumbling sidewalks in town? This headline was found in Sept. 16’s U-T: San Diego: “39,000+ tripping hazards found on San Diego sidewalks.” As a La Jolla resident, I would venture that La Jolla has more trip hazards on our sidewalks than any other part of the city. I know we have a lot of senior citizens who are at risk, not to mention unsuspecting tourists. What can we do to make the city and property owners fix this situation? It took two years to fill in a hole left by a removed telephone pole on my neighbor’s sidewalk on Monte Vista; plus multiple calls to the city. Not only are there an exceptionally high number of broken and uneven sidewalks here, but in many welltraveled parts of La Jolla residents are not trimming back shrubbery, and, in some cases, forcing pedestrians into bike paths or roadways. I have traveled through many poor parts of the city and they don’t seem to have this problem! La Jolla is such a beautiful place, but it is in such disrepair. John Murphy La Jolla
Stench returns to La Jolla Cove area Please explain to me why money is being spent to bring tourists and travel industry people to La Jolla? When the winds blow into the Village, that will send them running away from the awful stench. We even have to try and tolerate the stench at the Shores! Barbara Groce La Jolla

Do you think adding paid on-street parking in the Village of La Jolla would be beneficial for business?

When Cinder, the cat known for roaming La Jolla High School until he was struck by a car and killed last week (La Jolla Light Sept. 18) was a kitten, his owners were the Gray family. At the time of his death, however, Cinder’s owners were the Thickstun family. u
I believe locals would be less likely to shop in the Village (if meters were installed) and would be encouraged to go to a shopping center where they could park free. The revenue from meters is far less important than the revenue generated from higher retail sales. What La Jolla needs is a multi-level public parking lot with at least two hours free parking, like they have in Beverly Hills. — Karen Fox
n Letters to the Editor for publication should be 250 words or less, and sent by e-mail to editor@lajollalight.com
With my nine years of business experience owning a restaurant in the Village, I say paid parking would definitely hurt the employees and the customers. Even if you charged a worker (.25 per 12 minutes like downtown) $1.25 every hour of work it would cost the worker $10 a shift, 5 days a week. $200 a month for having a job in the Village! My employees would find a job in UTC or Mission Valley where parking for going to work is FREE. Don’t even get me started on charging customers. — Kevin Smith

La Jolla High School, Bishop’s bring on new coaches By Ashley Mackin he La Jolla High School Vikings and The Bishop’s School Knights are getting some new leadership this season, when three new coaches enter the varsity arena. The Bishop’s School welcomes Nick Levine to the varsity boys basketball team, and Ron Witmeyer to the varsity boys baseball team. La Jolla High School brought on Drew Burdette to coach varsity girls volleyball. La Jolla High School varsity girls tennis team will also play in a new division.
T
n Knights Basketball
As the young Knights on the varsity boys basketball team prepare for the 2014 season, which starts Nov. 15, new head coach Nick Levine is eager to get started. Coming from Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad, where he coached two seasons, and six seasons of coaching at La Jolla Country Day School before that, Levine is ready for whatever challenges may arise. One of them is that this year’s team is generally shorter than other teams. However, the Philadelphia native said, “We are fast and we have guys that are really good with the ball, so we’ll get up and down the court and I expect us to play fast.” Levine added, “I think the best part of our group this year is how we defend. We have a really scrappy, athletic, tough group of guys. I think that’s what we’ll pride ourselves on most this year — how we defend and how
we rebound.” Another challenge the team’s prepared to face is their schedule of league games. Bishop’s basketball is in the Coastal League — along with Francis Parker, Army-Navy, La Jolla Country Day, Horizon Christian and Santa Fe Christian schools — and “there are no nights off,” he said. “When you look at the schedule, there are no nights when you can say, ‘let’s consider that a guaranteed win.’ Each one is going to be a tough game and each team brings something different we have to prepare for.” For the non-league games, the one Levine and his players seem most excited about is the continuation of the cross-town rivalry, when the Knights play the La Jolla High School Vikings in January.
n Knights Baseball
When it comes to finding a baseball coach, you want someone who has been there and done that. That’s what happened at The Bishop’s School in new varsity baseball coach Ron Witmeyer. The former major leaguer, who played with the Oakland A’s, also has two NCAA National Championships under his belt from his time at Stanford University. After moving to San Diego, Witmeyer opened a Frozen Ropes baseball and softball training center near 4S Ranch and recently opened a second location in Del Mar.

CRIME NEWS Police arrest suspect in kidnapping/robbery On Sunday, May 4 at approximately 12:40 a.m., a suspect approached two females as they were attempting to get into their vehicle, parked at 7700 Draper Ave. in La Jolla. The suspect, armed with a gun, forced the kidnapped victims into their car and ordered them to drive to nearby ATMs, where each was ordered to withdraw a significant amount of money from their accounts. After taking the money, the suspect ordered them to drop him off at a selected location where he fled the scene. On Sept. 18, 24-year-old Keith Russell Lucket, who was identified as the suspect in the case, was arrested at a private residence in Moreno Valley, California by San Diego Police Department robbery investigators. He was charged with two counts of kidnapping and two counts of robbery with a gun and booked into the San Diego County Jail. Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the SDPD’s robbery unit at (619) 531-2299.

Heart screening for teens this weekend
I
n collaboration with The Bishop’s School, free heart screenings will be offered for area youth (ages 12-19) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28 at La Jolla High School, 750 Nautilus St. The screening is non-invasive and will look for anomalies in heart rhythm. Although rare, anomalies can contribute to the risk of sudden cardiac arrest in teens and screening for them is not part of routine checkups or sports physicals. Screenings take less than 30 minutes, though wait times vary. Families can register and download the required family history form at EPSaveALife.org u
From New Coaches, A29 “I bring a lot of experience (to Bishop’s),” he said. “I’ve coached a lot of players over the years, have had 70 make it to the pros, and about 13 play major league. Hopefully, I can help these players make it to a higher level.” Because the season doesn’t start until spring, with the first game in early March, Witmeyer is still becoming familiar with his team. “I think we have a good nucleus of senior leaders. They play hard and they work hard. And the younger players can learn from the seniors,” he said. Leading up to the start of the season, the players not currently playing another sport are staying in shape with strength training. For the fielders and hitters, speed and explosiveness will be key. For pitchers, there is the delicate balance of keeping their arms strong, and keeping the elbows and shoulders injury-free. Witmeyer has three sons: Luke, a junior at Cathedral Catholic High School; Clay, a freshman at The Bishop’s School; and Tommy, a sixth grader at Bishop’s.

For Drew Burdette, the new varsity girls volleyball coach, landing the job with the Vikings came after some “net” working. While living and coaching in South Carolina, he became friends with other coaches who either lived in San Diego or had connections here. “I wanted to live at the beach where I could play beach volleyball. Some college coaches I knew encouraged me to move to San Diego,” Burdette said. Once here, they helped him get a job with Coast Volleyball Club. “A lot of the athletes that played (at Coast Volleyball) attend La Jolla High School, so I met a bunch of players and parents. When there was an opening, they encouraged me to apply,” he said. “La Jolla is just like where I grew up in Florida — the people, the beach-community feel and even the kids — it really made want the job.” And he came on at a good time. “Most of the girls playing varsity have been playing varsity for a few years now,” he said. “They started varsity when they were young and
La Jolla High’s newest varsity girls volleyball coach is Drew Burdette. Ashley Mackin were advanced at an early age. They’ve also been playing together for a while.” However, some players, although having played before, did not play varsity last year, and therefore aren’t familiar with the high pressure and level of competition. The Lady Vikings are three games into the season (1-2). When their season winds down, Burdette said there is one game not to be missed, and no surprise, it’s against The Bishop’s School. “It’s our last home game of the season, plus it’s Senior Night, so it’s the last game seniors play, and it’s right before playoffs,” he said. “That game is 4:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 3.”
n Vikings Girls Tennis
The La Jolla High School varsity tennis team, though keeping with the same coach, joins seven other schools in their migration to open division. Participation in open division is determined by CIF scores, and many of the schools moving up have been finalists or winners. Other divisions are determined by the school’s population. “If we play this year and continue to win, we could stay in open division,” said head coach Lisa Shih. “But the goal is to do well, and we are going to do our best wherever they put us. We are in a tough division with tough teams so they have to give it their all.” u — Find La Jolla High School’s full athletic schedule at sandi.net/ljhs

Irving Gill Violinist Midori and pianist Özgür Aydin come to UC San Diego’s Prebys Hall Oct. 1. Angela Jimenez
Superstar violinist Midori opens 2014-15 UCSD Concert Season By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt n Oct. 1, UC San Diego’s fall concert season will be off to a start with superstar violinist Midori performing a selection of “new music” pieces in a recital with her frequent collaborator, Turkish-American pianist Özgür Aydin. Born in Osaka in 1971, Midori began playing the violin at age 3, gave her first public performance at 6, and made her U.S. concert debut at 11 with Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic. Even as a child, she was known for her ability to communicate the underlying emotional quality of every piece of music she played. Early on, when asked how she was able to put so much expression into a Mozart piece she had just performed, she answered: “I think of a dear, dead dog.” These days, Midori, now in her 32nd year of performing, has many more things to think about. Besides touring extensively worldwide, she is a Distinguished Professor of Music at the University of Southern California, has a guest professorship at Japan’s Soai University, and spends a great deal of time bringing music to underserved populations, with organizations like “Midori & Friends,” a nonprofit she founded when she was 20. “It started with a simple idea: to bring music to children,” she wrote on her website. “In the 1980s and early ‘90s there was a great deal of discussion concerning federal budget cuts to public education and their effects on the availability

By Linda Hutchison he Irving Gill Photographic Project at the La Jolla Historical Society is a tribute to both a pioneering master architect and to three contemporary photographers who are masters of their art. The three were commissioned by the historical society to capture the essence of Gill’s philosophy as they photographed his buildings and houses, some more than 100 years old. The result is a unique perspective of a man who was unmatched in his time. The exhibit, which opens Sept. 27, “is part of our strategy to bring history to contemporary society in a meaningful way,” explained Heath Fox, executive director of the historical society.

San Diego Museum of Art welcomes the arrival of “Gauguin to Warhol: 20th Century Icons from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery,” an exhibition that traces the path of modern art through iconic 20th century works from the renowned collection of the AlbrightKnox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York. Featuring masterpieces from significant names in art, the exhibition opens Oct. 4 and runs through Jan. 27, 2015. Artists featured include Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O’Keeffe, Salvador Dalí, Frida Kahlo, Paul Gauguin, Francis Bacon, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, among others. More than 70 paintings and sculptures will be grouped thematically, spanning modern movements from PostImpressionism to Pop. “Gauguin to Warhol” makes its only West Coast stop at SDMA. “The works in this exhibition are so iconic they could each be the star of their own show,” said Roxana Velásquez, SDMA executive director. “ ‘Gauguin to Warhol’ offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to

Four dining venues await at Rancho Bernardo Inn By Kelley Carlson fter a day of making the rounds on the golf course, patrons of the Rancho Bernardo Inn can spend their evenings casually making the rounds of the restaurants. Several eateries await, ranging from upscale dining to a sports-bar setting. “We cater to a different crowd here (compared with the coastal and downtown restaurants),” said Trevor Woods, manager of Veranda Fireside Lounge and Restaurant, and The Bar. “We’re not next to the freeway — we’re in a little town, tucked away between houses. The locals bring their friends and families here.”

Veranda Fireside Lounge & Restaurant
Dining on the patio at AVANT PHOTOS By Kelley Carlson
One way to start the evening is to watch the sun setting over the greens from Veranda. While perusing the menu, patrons can wet their whistles with specialty cocktails, wines and beers. One guilty pleasure is the Original Lava Flow, a blend of rum, strawberry and piña colada ingredients. Those who make Veranda the first stop on their restaurant tour can begin with appetizers such as the Seared Togarishi Spiced Yellow Fin Tuna on a bed of wakame salad, enhanced with wasabi and yuzu ponzu sauce; and the warm Pretzel Bites, which are lightly salted and buttered, and perfect for dipping in spicy mustard and chipotle aioli. Guests who stay for dinner can select from a list that encompasses salads, steaks, burgers
On The Menu Recipe n The Recipe of the Week is
Rancho Bernardo Inn’s Roasted Pork Loin Find it at the bottom of the online version of this story at lajollalight.com or visit www.bit.ly/otmrestaurants and sandwiches. Server recommendations include the Caprese Salad or the Pan-Roasted Salmon Filet.
AVANT
Upstairs from Veranda is AVANT, a ranchstyle restaurant with a rustic bar, patio, private dining rooms and wood-burning fireplaces. Patrons may start their dinners with a glass of wine, such as the fruity pinot noir from Flowers Vineyard & Winery, then there are charcuterie, cheese and starter plates such as the Sea Urchin Tartine. Seafood and meat dishes are at the heart of the entrees. A new one is the Roasted Pork Loin, to usher in the fall. The pork medallions are complemented with yams, braised endive and several forms of apple, with hints of cinnamon.
There are also classics with a twist, like the Latin-flavored Mary’s Free-Range Chicken. A trail composed of meat, corn, Swiss chard stems and summer squash lead to a center of melt-in-your-mouth spoonbread. Meals can be finished off with confections that range from the White Chocolate Panna Cotta surrounded by hazelnut and chocolate dehydrated mousse and raspberry sorbet; and the Pistachio Macaron Trifle, composed of pistachio macaroons filled with orange blossom mascarpone, pistachio ice cream, crumbled pistachios and cherries in cherry liqueur.
The Bar
When it’s time to cap off the night, visit The Bar. Guests can kick back with a glass of medium-bodied Trapiche malbec, a B52 Coffee (Bailey’s, Kahlua, Grand Marnier and java, topped with whipped cream) or a local craft beer while watching televised sports or playing shuffleboard. The Bar shares the same menu as Veranda, and if someone skipped out on dessert at AVANT, they can find satisfaction in “The Rancho Bernardo Inn” Bread Pudding with raisin bread covered with crème anglaise.
Café Granada
To experience the fourth restaurant at the Rancho Bernardo Inn, people can order breakfast or lunch at Café Granada. It’s ideal for a quick yogurt parfait, house-made pastries, fruit and nut bars, and sandwiches. The café also has Starbucks coffee. u

Culinary Camouflage for kids (and adults)
O
ne of the mammoth struggles of parenthood has been (and still is) to get kids to eat their veggies. Moms and dads have been inventing games, devising deceptions and striking deals to accomplish this goal. Now, Jeff Dunn, former Coca-Cola executive, presently carrot king of Bolthouse Farms, has launched a revolutionary ad campaign using junk-food marketing tactics to reposition fruits and vegetables as an awesome kid-friendly treat. Taking a page out of Dunn’s book, this parent has been successfully transforming the gross vitaminladen monsters into gleefully accepted snacks. n The Name Game: Take a cue from the merchandisers of Crayola crayons, and create fun and funky names for various fruits and vegetables like wild blue yonder blueberries, vivid violet plums, brink pink watermelon balls or football field green beans. Thanks also to horticulturalists for using such junk-food monikers as cotton candy grapes, sugar snap peas, donut peaches and chocolate peppers. n Brain Freeze: Freezing certain fruits like bananas, grapes, berries, mango and
peach slices gives the illusion of munching on ice cream or other dreamy forms of frozen bliss. Impale the fruits with popsicle sticks and the mirage just got sweeter. n Dip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah: Kids love to dip and play with their food. Whip up both sweet and savory fondues by melting antioxidant-rich dark chocolate or organic cheeses to accompany divine dippers, everything from dried apricots, bananas, figs and strawberries to steamed broccoli and cauliflower florets, fingerling potatoes and asparagus spears. n Sticks and Stones: Convert celery and carrot sticks, jicama and cucumber strips, along with slices of stone fruits (peaches, nectarines, plums, pluots) and other phytonutrient powerhouses into sassy snacks. Whip up ethnic spice blends to imitate potato and corn chip seasonings. Try savory Southwest (chili powder, cilantro, cumin, garlic, Mexican oregano and crushed chipotles), a spicy Asian blend (Chinese 5-spice powder, lemon peel, garlic and pepper flakes), zippy Italian (basil, oregano, marjoram, thyme, parsley, anise and fennel) or a dessert delicious Irish
n Ingredients • 1 large sweet potato • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil • Sea salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, paprika, ginger powder and turmeric to taste n Method: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Peel sweet potato and cut into uniform slices about 1/2to 3/4-inches thick. In a large mixing bowl, combine oil and spices. Toss sweet potato slices into the bowl until they are evenly coated. Spread on a cookie sheet so the slices do not overlap. Bake for 15 minutes, then turn with a spatula. Bake for another 10 minutes until crispy and golden. Serve with ketchup or Greek yoghurt dipping sauce. concoction of cinnamon, allspice, ginger, mace and cardamom, and sprinkle away. n Liquid Salads: Gazpacho has many regional versions that seamlessly sneak a treasure trove of antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies into a smooth, refreshing “soup.” The red version is chock full of lycopene-rich tomatoes, a dose of Vitamin C in sweet peppers, and hydrating cucumbers. Other chilled offerings include watermelon basil, carrot ginger, strawberry mint, sweet corn chowder, and sweet peach with mascarpone cheese. n Hamburger Hocus-Pocus: Whether beef burgers, lamb, turkey, chicken or salmon make sure to pack in plenty of immune-boosting mushrooms from oyster

My reaction was to become actively involved — hands on — in addressing the issue.” She also gives performances and workshops in schools, hospitals and institutions around the world and provides learning opportunities for young artists. Additionally, she does a fair bit of recording, including, this year, a selection of violin and piano sonatas with Özgür Aydin that was nominated for an International Classical Music Award. At UCSD, she and Aydin will present pieces written over the past three decades by six different composers, including the late Iannis Xenakis and Alfred Schnittke, as well as the very-much-alive John Adams, better known for his operatic works, like “Nixon in China,” which will be coming to San Diego Opera next spring. Also on the program are pieces by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho,
Argentina-born, New York-based Mario Davidovsky, and Stephen Hartke, a New Jersey-native who teaches, as Midori does, at USC’s Thornton School of Music. The recital will be the first of this season’s “Wednesdays @ 7,” a series that offers new and experimental music performed by faculty and visiting artists.

California Women Lawyers salute Lynn Schenk
C
alifornia Women Lawyers (CWL) presented the Fay Stender Award to Lynn Schenk, Sept. 11 at its 40th anniversary dinner held at the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel in San Diego. The dinner also featured keynote speaker Justice Joyce L. Kennard. The award was created in 1982 in honor of Fay Stender, a CWL founder and staunch supporter of under-represented groups and individuals. It is presented each year to someone who has demonstrated feminist perspective, has served as a role model for female attorneys, and has demonstrated ability to affect change as a single individual. Schenk, of La Jolla, is a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives and has held multiple leadership roles for the
California state government. Among her accomplishments, Schenk is credited with being the first woman to hold a cabinet post as Secretary of the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency during her tenure with Gov. Jerry Brown. She also became California’s first female chief of staff when appointed by Gov. Gray Davis. Furthermore, Schenk holds the recognition of being the first female Congressmember elected south of Los Angeles. She is a “founding mother” of Lawyers Club of San Diego and CWL, both of which have missions to advance the status of women in law and society. Still active in the legal community, Schenk serves on the board of directors for Sempra Energy and Biogen IDEC, and is a member of California High Speed Rail Authority. u

Athenaeum prepares for two new art exhibits From Athenaeum reports
The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library will host an opening reception 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26 for two new exhibitions — “Speaking Otherwise,” the artwork of Allison Wiese in the Joseph Clayes III Gallery and “Unexpected Beauty in Everyday Life” by Pat MacGillis in the Rotunda Gallery. The works will remain be on display through Nov. 1 at the library, 1008 Wall St. Wiese, an interdisciplinary artist who makes sculptures, installations and architectural interventions, offers a new installation using common materials and textual diversions. Her work drags ideas through time “re-plumbing the social and political landscape of the near past as a way of querying the lingering presence of certain American myths and pointing to truths about the present,” according to press materials. Wiese’s work has been exhibited at such venues as Machine Project in Los Angeles, The Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego and Socrates Sculpture Park in New York. She is a fellow of the MacDowell Colony, an alumna of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and was a
Core Fellow of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 2001-2003. Wiese lives in San Diego, where she teaches studio art at the University of San Diego. MacGillis will present mixed media paintings and drawings. From her daily walks above the ocean on the chaparral cliffs of Torrey Pines, to her extensive travels throughout the region and Latin America, MacGillis draws inspiration “from the beauty of daily life in Southern California.” She has practiced art-making for some 30 years showing her work locally and nationally. MacGillis grew up on Long Island. She attended SDSU and also studied visual art and anthropology at UCSD. She has taught in San Diego Community Colleges and at the UCSD Craft Center. She has organized many art projects with grants including a Picerne Foundation grant to work with San Diego’s underserved youth. u n IF YOU GO: Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St., is open 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.

“
Some people think you should pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, but I am a firm believer in the importance of having mentors, guides and teachers who influence and help you develop.
”
— Tom Hom
Tom Hom shares inspiring stories about overcoming adversity for his book, ‘Rabbit on a Bumpy Road: A Story of Courage and Endurance,’ at Warwick’s Bookstore Sept. 10. Hom, age 87, was in La Jolla to sign copies of his new book, “Rabbit on a Bumpy Road: A Story of Courage and Endurance.” One reader described the book as, “A sunny memory that made me feel good every time
I turned a page.” The rabbit in the title and on the book cover is a reminder that Hom was born in the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese horoscope. “As a youngster, I loved to read
autobiographies,” he told the audience. “I think my favorite was by Benjamin Franklin. We all have a story to tell. Somewhere along the way, I was advised that I ought to keep a diary, which I have done for 55 years.

By Will Bowen lways be a gentleman.’ That’s what my father, who was one of my mentors, used to tell me at the dinner table at our nightly family meal,” said retired San Diego politician/ realtor, and now autobiographical author, Tom Hom, to the audience at Warwick’s Bookstore Sept. 10. “That was my first lesson in civic responsibility. “My second lesson in civics came from my second mentor, William J. Oakes, who was the principal at Memorial Junior High School in Logan Heights, where I was a student. “Oakes used to tell us that despite our ethnicity or cultural background, we were all Americans and we could become anything we wanted to be. “My third important lesson came from my third mentor, Admiral Les Gehres (now retired), who took me under his wing and taught me how to be a politician. Gehres told me that if I wanted to run for office, I should go ahead and do it and he would help me. Because of Gehres, I switched from the Democratic to Republican Party and we won big in my first outing. “Some people think you should pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, but I am a firm believer in the importance of having mentors, guides and teachers who influence and help you develop.”

This book is the product of that diary.” Hom was a highly visible and well-liked politician from the 1960s to the 1980s. He was elected to the San Diego City Council, served as deputy mayor and earned a seat in the state assembly. Some major accomplishments during his tenure in office included the building of Qualcomm Stadium, Old Town State Park, and development of the Gaslamp District, the later of which transformed San Diego’s downtown and was nationally recognized. Like thousands of other Chinese immigrants, Hom’s father, David, came to San Francisco from the Canton region of South China. At the Presbyterian Mission in San Francisco where he was staying, the elder Hom chose the name David from the Biblical story of David and Goliath, which he admired. Later, David Hom came to San Diego where he opened a produce company at 439 Fourth St. named David Produce. Tom Hom grew up speaking only Chinese on the streets of San Diego’s Chinatown. He recalls using chewing gum on the end of a chopstick to fish coins out from between the planks of the plank road that used to run through Chinatown. In time, the Hom family moved to Logan Heights where Hom began to learn English. His first English word was “candy,” uttered in response to the prompts of his teacher, who was trying to soothe him after a fall. At age 5, Hom’s mother passed away, leaving his father with five young boys to raise. The elder Hom wrote back to his family in China and they found a new wife to send him — a well-educated and modern Chinese woman from the days of the New Chinese Republic. This second marriage added four more boys and three girls to the Hom family. The elder Hom wanted his new family to be part of the American fabric, so he named the
boys after famous Americans, such as Thomas Edison, George Washington, John Philip Sousa, Paul Revere, and Francis Scott Key. All of the children helped at the produce market. In 1943, Tom’s father died from tuberculosis. This meant all his children had to work long, hard hours to keep the family business going. In 1949, Tom Hom found that he, too, had the beginnings of tuberculosis. He was sent to a sanitarium in Mission Valley, where, after a year of experimental treatment, he was cured. As he recovered, Hom realized he could not go back to the hard, physical work of the produce business, so he thought about a new career. His primary desire was to be an art teacher, but he was told minorities were not hired to teach in the public school system. So Hom went into real estate, opening up the Thomas E. Hom Realty Company in 1956. As a minority, he was saddled by covenant restrictions. “The way I would sell real estate was to ask a prospective client to take a drive with me to anywhere they would like to live in the city. The client would point out a house that he liked and the next day I would go back and ask the homeowner if he would like to sell his property. It worked pretty well. I sold a lot of houses that way!” Hom faced many closed doors and obstacles on the bumpy road of life as a minority citizen. But he persevered and was able to make many important contributions to the development of San Diego. All along the road of life, a thought guided him: “I knew that America had too many good people not to rectify the injustices of society,” he said. u n Hom relocated his business, THG: The Tom Hom Group, to Fay Avenue in La Jolla.

First, Gill was a progressive figure during his time in La Jolla and the greater San Diego area. Second, he’s now more appreciated as a proponent of early modern style, which also included Rudolph Schindler and Frank Lloyd Wright, and eventually, led to the mid-century modern movement. “His ideas still inform contemporary society,” Fox said. Gill was born near Syracuse, New York to Quaker parents. The son of a farmer and carpenter, he never attended college or had a formal architectural education, but developed an early interest in landscape and building design and worked as a gardener and draftsman. He moved to Chicago, eventually joining the firm of Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan (father of the American skyscraper). There, he also worked with Frank Lloyd Wright and was introduced to modern design and materials. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, builders preferred more fireproof materials, such as concrete, which later became a favorite of Gill’s. At 23, Gill moved to San Diego and set up his own architectural office in the downtown area. At first, his style was an eclectic one, reflecting what was popular at the time, including Tudor Revival and Arts and Crafts/Prairie School. But Gill had a passion for simplicity and a vision of how houses and buildings should reflect their landscape and be enjoyed by their residents.

He loved the beauty of California’s skies, canyons, rolling hills and the old California missions, whose simple lines, natural colors and graceful arches blended with the surrounding countryside. He designed his houses to be easy to clean (no ornamentation to catch dust) and to take maximum advantage of sunlight and outdoor views with skylights and integrated gardens and courtyards. Overall Gill designed and created more than 100 houses, churches, buildings and other projects throughout San Diego and Los Angeles counties, many of which are still standing. In La Jolla, these include early buildings at The Bishop’s School, Ellen Browning Scripps’ home (now the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego), La Jolla Woman’s Club and La Jolla Recreation Center, which will be 100 years old next year. The three photographers who focused on Gill’s work for the exhibit — Philipp Scholz Rittermann, Suda House and John Durant — are all fine art photographers from San Diego. “We wanted a creative approach from a fresh perspective,” Fox said. ”We didn’t just want to send them out, but to interpret Gill’s philosophy on a deep level. Nor did we want to restrict them. We let them choose their own sites.” The three photographers chose three very different approaches. Scholz Rittermann is a “time traveler,” according to Arthur Ollman, professor of art history at SDSU, who wrote the introduction to the exhibit’s catalog.

Related Event Architect Milford Wayne Donaldson, chair of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, poses in front of the Americanization School in Oceanside (now Crown Heights Resource Center), designed by master architect Irving Gill in 1931. John Durant photographing seven Gill buildings (or sites) and then superimposing transparencies of old images over his new ones. The result is that “the new is seen through an older window in time,” Ollman writes. Suda House photographed two buildings in La Jolla focusing on archways, shadows and foliage in 12 black and white pieces. “Her manner of working is one that Gill
would have deeply respected. It echoes his sense of purity and close observation,” Ollman writes. John Durant tells stories with his eight photographs of eight Gill buildings. Each photograph features a person who has in some way interacted with or been influenced by the building — as an architect, landscaper, writer or surfboard designer. u

How to find Success in a Stalled real estate Market Current Climate Even though we are seeing historically low interest rates and have survived the crash of 2007, there seems to be a stalled market right now in San Diego County. While there may be plenty of potential buyers, there does not appear to be as many great homes for the average seller who wants to move up or down.
The properties that are selling are in the lower $300-$500K range, and the high-priced homes over $1M. These are empty-nesters who are downsizing, recent retirees moving out of state, or homeowners with multiple homes selling off their second or third properties. And due to the low inventory, these sellers are cashing in: they are able to find an abundance of buyers who must bid against one another and are able to make cash offers on the properties that are priced well. However, even though the values are increasing, we are seeing fewer overall sales. Cause of Climate So why are the majority of sellers so hesitant to sell right now? Many sellers don’t want to go through the often tedious process of listing their property until they find their next home. But sellers also don’t want to accept contingent offers (offers based upon buyers who must sell
their own homes first). This creates a domino effect of interested sellers who are unwilling to list their homes, and this essentially stalls the market. Solution The solution to both finding something reasonable to buy or to selling your home without the fear of where your next property is, is finding the right agent, someone who is both active and aggressive in this type of real estate market. There are owners willing to sell. So you need to find an agent who is constantly prospecting, seven days a week, searching out those interested sellers, those properties that go unlisted, and those expired listings from the market crash of the last decade. And if you’re thinking about selling, you want to find an agent who can give you a no cost, up-to-date market analysis of your home and is then able
to match you with the right buyer. To find out your home’s current value, visit http://sandiegohomes.valuationstoday.com/. As one of La Jolla’s premier real estate agent’s, I pride myself in being that active, aggressive agent who is willing to work around the clock to match up the right buyer with the right seller. In this current climate, you can’t simply trust what you find listed on the internet, you need to find an agent who knows how to find the perfect fit between a seller and a buyer, and then close the deal. And in many cases, that property might not even be on the market. I am that agent. If you are thinking about buying or selling in the San Diego area, please visit my website, http://carlosgsandiego.blogspot.com , or call me at 858-551-3380.

On Monday, Nov. 10, All-American Rejects, P.O.D., The Workday Release, and San Diego native Austin Burns take the stage. On Tuesday, Nov. 11, the Goo Goo Goo Dolls Courtesy Goo Dolls, Timmy Curran and Korean-American indie folk band Run River North perform. Special VIP packages, including early admission and a meet-and-greet with Machado and the Goo Goo Dolls are available. Funds from last year’s concert and other fundraising efforts went to environmental improvements across San Diego, with a focus on children’s ecological education. Last year’s projects included installing new covered trashcans, made from reclaimed material, at Cardiff State Beach to prevent seagulls and wind from dispersing trash along the beach, as well as recycling bins at San Diego elementary schools where formerly there were none. Funds also allowed for the cosponsorship of the Grow Your Own program at the Solana Center for Environmental innovation, where teachers are trained to start and lead school gardens. Tickets for Monday’s show are $50, and start at $75 for Tuesday night’s show. VIP packages are $250. Doors open at 7 p.m. each night for the 8 p.m. shows.

LA JOLLA HOMES Realtor Greg Noonan to sponsor Canine Companions fundraiser Nov. 22
R
ealtor Greg Noonan of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties is sponsoring San Diego’s “DogFest Walk ’n Roll,” Canine Companions for Independence’s signature event, Nov. 22 at NTC Park, Liberty Station. Founded in 1975, Canine Companions for Independence is a non-profit that provides highly-trained assistance dogs to children and adults with disabilities free of charge. Noonan and his wife, Greg Noonan Marilyn, said they were inspired when they met “Norway,” a yellow Labrador puppy being raised by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices legal associate, Victoria Boynton, a CCI volunteer who raises puppies until they are ready to be turned over for specialized training. “Vicki gives so much of her heart to these puppies for 14 months and then turns them over for those in need,” Marilyn said. “We had just lost our yellow Lab when we met and fell in love with Norway, and we really wanted to find a way to bring more dogs like her to those in need while honoring Vicki’s phenomenal generosity.”
Marilyn and Greg Noonan are ‘Top Dog’ sponsors of DogFest Walk ’n Roll San Diego — a 1.2-mile dog walk on Nov. 22 that supports the mission of Canine Companions for Independence.
CCI’s goal is to raise $75,500 at the San Diego event. Those interested in attending or donating to DogFest can visit CCI.org or bit.ly/dogfestsandiego for details. Greg Noonan & Associates can be reached at 1-800-LA JOLLA (1-800-525-6552), e-mail Greg@LaJollaHomes.com or visit the website LaJollaHomes.com u
