Community Center launches car service for La Jolla seniors

Seeing Stars: Alan Arkin among the celebrities in town for film festival, A10

By Ashley Mackin In September, the La Jolla Community Center started a transportation program called Senior Express, which provides rides to those with mobility issues. To acquaint members and non-members with the service, free rides are being offered throughout October. Community Center Executive Director Nancy Walters said the program is in line with the wishes of the late benefactor Florence Riford. “She wanted transportation for seniors that was safe, affordable and convenient, so that is what we are trying to do,” Walters said. Riford left the LJCC with a transportation fund that pays for the program. Senior Express offers three types of rides: roundtrip evening rides from local retirement communities to the Community Center, recreational excursions and door-to-door transportation for errands within La Jolla.

By Pat Sherman La Jolla’s Development Permit Review committee (DPR) had a full slate of projects to consider during its Sept. 19 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. After a final project review, the DPR — which analyses all discretionary permits in La Jolla (outside the Shores) — denied a proposal to construct “guest quarters” behind adjacent homes at 901 and 911 Skylark Drive, as well as a deck, swimming pool/spa, retaining walls and a pergola (outdoor shaded area). Trustees expressed concern with the thin line between the city’s definition of “guest quarters,” in which visitors may only reside for short intervals, and

Up in the Club

La Jollan pens book on San Diego’s storied University Club

‘A Pictorial History of the University Club of San Diego’ by Julie Walke Courtesy

of San Diego, Inc. corporation and coauthor of a newly released pictorial book on the club’s history. Richard Crawford, San Diego Public Library’s supervisor of special collections and a former San Diego Historical Society archives director, co-authored the book, penning bios of the club’s influential presidents. The book chronicles University Club from the founding of its 1896 precursor group, the College Graduate Club (comprised of 21 women and men who met for intellectual discourse) through its present incarnation as two entities: the philanthropic-minded corporation Walke leads and the networking club and dining facility atop Symphony Towers managed by Dallas-based ClubCorp (which owns or operates 160 business, golf, sports and country clubs across the United States). Like University Club’s current home, Symphony Towers opened in 1989, built around and above the historic Fox Theater (today’s Copley Symphony Hall). In 2011, ClubCorp invested $2.4 million into remodeling University Club, expanding into the remainder of the top floor formerly leased by a law firm.

Raising a glass, shattering a ceiling In 1907, the College Graduate Club was reorganized by several of its male members as more of a fraternal organization and renamed University Club. From 1909-1977 women were excluded from becoming members, “except on stated occasions.” Walke said she suspects lifting the prohibition on female members in the 1970s was both a sign of the times and a practical way to boost lagging membership to cover the mortgage on its former clubhouse at Seventh Avenue and A Street. Former La Jollan Ann Beard, University Club’s first female board president (1996-’98), downplays the significance of that distinction because she said she was always made to feel like any other member and shown utmost respect by male club members. “Back then it was a big deal, I guess, and I was extraordinarily honored … (but) I didn’t at the time think so much about being the first woman president,” she said. “I really felt that there was work to be done and I was the person that was in the forefront doing this particular work.”

By Pat Sherman t is well-known that some of San Diego’s most significant business deals have been sealed over dinner and drinks at the University Club — a 105-year-old San Diego institution now located atop downtown San Diego’s Symphony Towers, in the 34th-floor penthouse. The 360-degree views from this exclusive business networking and social club are spectacular — with members and invited guests treated to sweeping vistas of downtown, San Diego Bay, Point Loma, Coronado, and, on a clear day, Mexico. The food and wine are above reproach. Selections from the club’s art collection adorn walls and scholarly books line the shelves of the Sefton Library (known to members as the “War Room”). New members are typically invited to join by current members. There is an initiation fee and monthly dues that start at around $200 per month. So how does one otherwise finagle their way up in the club?

www.lajollalight.com As social director, Beard managed the speakers bureau — a return to the club’s founding focus of discussing arts, current events and scholarly topics — and oversaw its youth scholarship program. She first learned about the club while expanding her former Portland, Oregon-based framing and art business to San Diego, opening a store in Fashion Valley Mall where several University Club members were clients. “I was invited a few times to come in for lunch or to meet people there or to give talks and I decided this was a wonderful place, so I joined,” Beard recalled. Walke first joined University Club in the 1980s as an employee of nowdefunct San Diego Trust and Savings Bank. In 1989, she served on the team that handled the transition from the organization’s third clubhouse at Seventh and A (which it sold to the San Diego County Bar Association) to its rented space atop the then brand new Symphony Towers. Walke said she enjoys being downtown without battling the crowds and cacophony of the Gaslamp District. “I like the idea of being able to pull my car into valet, come up, have a nice dinner and meet with people who I know are interested in business or doing interesting things,” she said. “We have lots of different types of members, but I think (it’s perfect) for

Only two women have been University Club presidents: Ann Beard (1996-98) and Julie Walke (2008-present). Melissa Jacobs people who are brand new to San Diego, especially those wanting to meet and network.” To date, the club has about 2,900 individual members. La Jolla-based architect Jim Alcorn, who first joined University Club in 1973, and currently serves on the corporate board with Walke, said the board’s primary focus is to manage funds left over from the club when it sold its building at Seventh and A — when University Club was a more traditional men’s club with a roundtable for business lunches, private meeting rooms and a gymnasium, sauna, steam room and billiard room. Alcorn said his favorite memory of

University Club is being a member of its Men’s Glee Club in the 1980s and ’90s. Men’s Glee Club met once a week in University Club’s card room (adjacent the bar) to sing its favorite tunes, including “The Pope: He Leads a Jolly Life,” “Death is a Long, Long Sleep” and “Once in Our Lives Let Us Drink to Our Wives.” Beard said she was the only woman allowed to perform with the male troupe, often accompanying them on piano during performances such as Coronado’s annual Fourth of July parade. “I was a good piano player and I knew how to keep my mouth shut,” she recalled, with a laugh, adding there are some Glee Club anecdotes that are better left unsaid. “It was just a riot. … These men were noted attorneys, bankers and architects from all walks of life. They had sang all their lives and they were really good. One of our phrases was, ‘A good time was had by all.’ ” The San Diego City Council will honor the University Club with a proclamation on Oct. 7. u n “A Pictorial History of the University Club of San Diego” is available for purchase by calling (858) 729-9933. Proceeds benefit the University Club’s Lamp of Learning Scholarship Fund, which has awarded scholarships to more than 45 local students.

In 1907, William S. Hebbard, along with Edgar A. Luce and Frank von Tesmar, reorganized the foundering University Club of San Diego, changing it to an organization in which only male college alumni were eligible. In 1909, University Club was formally incorporated as an organization. This was the club’s second location, and included apartments.

The third clubhouse was also developed at Seventh Avenue and A Street (opening in 1970). It was later sold to the San Diego County Bar Association and is currently vacant. San Diego History Center Photos

Perched above La Jolla Cove, We Olive at 1158 Prospect St. features a balcony with ocean and coastal views.

We Olive greets fall with taste events, new menu By Marti Gacioch e Olive’s general manager Chris Swain said the new season begs new experiences and flavors, and his tasting room stands ready to oblige. “We recently poured five new fall wines for our guests, and they sampled new dishes,” Swain said. “We’ve expanded our food service to include fresh, hot paninis, flatbreads, salads and cheese plates in our wine bar.” Throughout the year, We Olive offers wine- and olive oil-tastings and educational events where guest speakers share their passions for California olive oil and wines. We Olive’s staff (a blend of sommeliers, culinary graduates and retail experts) enjoy educating visitors. “Our idea is to create simple, healthful dishes that feature products we carry in the store,” Swain said. “We also bring olive oil products to the table and spend time teaching guests about the health benefits of extra virgin olive oil.” New menu items include a flatbread topped with sweet balsamic mustard, shaved gruyere cheese, smoked duck, crispy arugula, olive oil and aged balsamic. “We also offer a delicious Burrata Caprese with flat leaf basil, an assortment of colored tomatoes, olive oil and blackberry balsamic,” Swain said. The shop’s focus is to showcase artisan farmers throughout California’s wine and olive growing regions. Rather than focus on the big corporate companies, We Olive seeks the small ones and touts their strengths to guests. “We may only get three cases of a particular wine, so we’re a great place to find

that hidden gem,” Swain said. We Olive has grown rapidly since opening in 2012. “Our goal is to make We Olive a neighborhood place where locals can connect on a regular basis without having to spend a fortune,” Swain added. Tuesday and Wednesday nights are geared to La Jolla residents. “Every Tuesday we do happy hour from 4-8 p.m. and people living in La Jolla can show us their I.D. and receive a 10-percent discount on their retail purchases,” Swain said. “Each Wednesday from 3-7 p.m., all of the wines we serve by the glass on our list (of three dozen) are half price.” We Olive also has a guest rewards program. Names are collected at the register and every dollar spent earns a point. When guests earn 250 points, they receive a $20 voucher for use in the store or the wine bar. u n We Olive at 1158 Prospect St., La Jolla sells California premium artisan wines, olive oil inspired tapas and craft beers, hosts food events and provides free tastings of all of its California extra virgin olive oils, vinegars and gourmet foods. The store is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday-Thursday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. FridaySaturday. Happy Hour: 4-7 p.m. MondayFriday ($3 off glasses of wine, $7 off bottles of wine, $2 off craft beer). The wine bar and kitchen are open at 11 a.m. daily. The kitchen closes 30 minutes before closing time each day.

From Senior Express, A1 The evening trips, Walters said, help those living in retirement communities. “A lot of (the facilities) provide transportation, but it ends at 4:30 or 6 p.m. If a senior wants to go anywhere in the evening, they have to get their own taxis,” she said. “Several people have told us they want to come to our Friday evening jazz concerts or hear our speakers, but they don’t have the ability to drive here, and for some, it’s out of budget to take a taxi each time.” She offered as an example: White Sands resident Ellen Cohen, who recently used the shuttle to attend a Distinguished Speaker series event. “I don’t mind walking during the day,” Cohen explained, “but I worry about walking at night because the streets are so broken up. I won’t walk in the dark down crooked and cracked streets.” Cohen said she’ll definitely use Senior Express again to attend more nighttime events. The recreational excursions, Walters said, are organized daytrips to spots in the Village and UTC — one for lunch, one for happy hour, and one for a movie or shopping. On Oct. 20, the daytrip will be to UTC for lunch and shopping or a movie, departing the Community Center at 10:30 a.m. and returning around 2:30 p.m. On Oct. 23, the lunch trip goes to The Shores Restaurant, departing the Community Center at 11 a.m. and returning 2 p.m. On Oct. 29, participants can enjoy happy hour at CUSP at the Hotel La Jolla, leaving at 3:30 p.m. and returning around 6:30 p.m.

Request a Ride ■ Call (858) 337-0275 to schedule services from La Jolla Community Center’s Senior Express transportation program. The service is free through October, although a fee might be charged in the future.

Marjorie Berns of La Jolla takes the Senior Express to the Community Center with assistance from driver Youness Hansel for an iPhone class. Ashley Mackin The third leg of Senior Express, though still in development, will assist those who live in La Jolla and have errands in town. The program currently provides rides from residents’ homes to the Community Center. “This would be for Betty in Bird Rock who wants to come to a balance class here,” Walters explained. “We can pick her up and take her home. Down the road, we hope to offer rides to assist with errands and meet seniors’ other needs, such as going to the grocery store or doctor’s office.”

Citing a statistic from the American Public Transportation Association, Walters said, “Compared with those who still drive, older non-drivers make 15 percent fewer trips to the doctors, 59 percent fewer shopping trips and visits to restaurants, and 65 percent fewer trips for social, family and religious activities.” LJCC implements the program using companies like Star Limo and Martina’s Transportation, through the phone number (858) 337-0275. Walters said if someone

doesn’t pick up, just leave a detailed message, as calls are checked regularly. For Marjorie Berns of La Jolla, having the little black car arrive at her door “made me feel like the Queen of Sheba.” She used the shuttle service to attend the Community Center’s iPhone class, and wants to continue doing so. “Traffic is getting worse and worse,” Berns said. “It’s fretful to drive around here, and there are no breaks in traffic. But I’m active and want to be a part of the world.” The service is free through October, although a fee might be charged in the future, depending on use and demand. Community Center members, Walters said, would receive a discount, if not get the service for free. “You hear a lot about depression and isolation among the senior community and how, when someone’s spouse dies, they become a hermit,” Walters said. “We feel this transportation program is a way we could help such seniors out.” u

From Mural, A1 more powerful and amusing (aspect),” said Wegman, speaking with La Jolla Light last week from his New York City home. Wegman’s fascination and longtime working relationship with Weimaraners began after he purchased his first dog, Man Ray, while teaching at California State University, Long Beach in 1970. “He was more mysterious to me than just a snapshot of a dog,” Wegman said. “He was really interested in me photographing him and he acted differently when I was pointing these things at him than if I was just playing ball or goofing off with him.” Wegman said his affinity for photographing Man Ray (an homage to the American modernist photographer) grew over time. “There was something really special and interesting about this relationship and I was really careful with it,” he recalled. “I didn’t want to abuse it or overuse it … or make it into a caricature of itself. It lasted about 12 years and dominated my work from the ’70s into 1981. … When he died, I was absolutely thinking that was the end of that.” Wegman wouldn’t obtain his second Weimaraner until 1986. During the ‘80s, he explored painting and other work, such as a commission with UC San Diego’s Stuart Gallery, appropriately titled, “La Jolla Vista View” (1988). “It’s kind of an ironic piece because it was like a scenic overlook overlooking probably the least scenic area in La Jolla — kind of highway sprawl,” said Wegman, a native of Holyoke, Mass. “I became very bonded with

Artist William Wegman and one of his beloved canines. Courtesy Photos (Stuart Collection Director) Mary Beebe and her gang … so when this mural project came, up of course I wanted to do it.” Wegman had moved to New York by the time he “cautiously accepted” Fay Ray, whose puppies would also appear in his photographs. As artist in residence at Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, he photographed Fay Ray using the college’s large format Polaroid camera. From there, his work exploded into the mainstream, appearing in children’s books, films, calendars and even TV’s “Saturday Night Live.”

Wegman found the regal composure of the ashen to charcoal colored breed the perfect canvas for his artistic expression. “Being still and pointing out the duck or the pheasant is something they just do,” he said. “They’re sort of neutral gray and they go with anything. … They’re not like Dalmatians or Golden Retrievers or Boxers, which are much more identifiable as specific creatures. They give you lots of latitude. ... I’ve had about 10 different Weimaraners and they all have slightly different looks: some are sad, some are comic, some are serious and scary, and some are just silly.” There are 13 works in the Murals of La Jolla, a project of the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library that was started several years ago by the La Jolla Community Foundation. Wegman’s mural replaces Robert Ginder’s “House,” which was installed in 2012.

In 1992, Wegman displayed an artist’s book, “Field Guide to North America,” at the Athenaeum. It depicted paintings, drawings and photographs from a camping trip, with one photo featuring a dog covered in tree bark, titled, “His bite is worse than his bark.” Murals of La Jolla selection committee member Lynda Forsha said the Athenaeum currently has artists completing proposals for other mural sites around the Village that have never been used, and others proposing work to take the place of existing murals, which are temporal, and must be rotated out periodically to keep the project vibrant and fresh, Forsha said. u n ON THE WEB: For more information about the Murals of La Jolla, visit LJAthenaeum.org and MuralsOfLaJolla.com

Oct. 10 forum to address role of domestication in human evolution

he UC San Diego/Salk Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny (CARTA) will host a public symposium about “Domestication and Human Evolution” 1-5:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10 at Salk Institute in the Conrad T. Prebys Auditorium, 10010 N. Torrey Pines Road. The domestication of animals has, in large part, been a primary factor in the planetary dominance and success of modern humans. Recently, a convergence of views has led to the notion that the study of animal domestication may tell us something about our own evolution as a species in the more distant past. CARTA’s public symposium will bring together researchers from a variety of backgrounds to discuss whether a number of the unique anatomical, neural, developmental, social, cognitive and communicative traits that define our species may be attributable to selection for lack of aggression and to a process of self-domestication. Admission to the symposium is free, but registration is required. To register, visit carta.anthropogeny.org and click on “Domestication and Human Evolution.” CARTA is a trans-disciplinary and scholarly effort involving UCSD and Salk Institute faculty, whose goal is to explore and explain the origins of the human phenomenon. u

a high degree of skepticism on this committee as to what this actually is. No matter what you call it, it’s going to end up being a residential unit. … The name is irrelevant.” “It’s true,” DPR trustee Angeles Liera added. “All over the city, guest houses have become additional units.” Project representative Mark Farrington noted that as a condition of the HOA’s approval, the owners signed an agreement stating the units would not become rentals, which the HOA could enforce with legal action, if necessary. In the end, however, DPR trustee Mike Costello made a motion to deny permits for the project (seconded by trustee Robert Mapes). The motion passed 6-1-1 with trustee Brian Will in opposition and Benton abstaining. Will said he didn’t feel the proposed units were designed to be rentals.

In other DPR news n Que Serros Serros: DPR members went another round with an applicant seeking to add a second-story to a home at 335 Dunemere Drive (Serros residence) that the city’s Historical Resources Board has deemed potentially historic. After presenting his plans at DPR meetings in July and August, architect Ron Despojado returned Sept. 9 to present scaled back project renderings that took into account trustees’ and residents’ concerns about the project blocking street views toward the ocean (particularly, a balcony at the

northwest corner) and its design being out of character with the neighborhood. The gable-style roof was diminished and its exterior was altered to provide a small setback along Dunemere, resulting in a reduction of the second-floor area from 647 to 611 square feet. Although trustees noted that Dunemere Drive is neither a designated view corridor nor scenic overlook per the La Jolla Community Plan, Dunemere resident Michael Duddy displayed a section of the community plan’s natural resources chapter (page 46) which identifies Dunemere as a “coastal vantage point” from which a body of water can be seen. Since the home’s historic status is still under review, trustees expressed concern with approving the project until they know whether it would need to comply with federal Secretary of the Interior Standards for historic homes. Owner Linda Serros said the property was not historic when her family purchased it 32 years ago, though significantly altering a home 45 years or older automatically triggers a historic evaluation by the city. Serros said she would do “whatever it takes” to assuage her neighbors concerns, though noting that other residents on her street have been allowed to develop larger, taller homes, including Mitt and Ann Romney and the owners of the former Cliff Robertson estate. “We have not had a view for the 32 years we’ve been there,” Serros said. “We are

“companion units,” which include complete living facilities (including a kitchen) and can be rented. In July, homeowner Antonio Sacido was asked to return to DPR with proof he recorded an “owner agreement” with the city attorney’s office stating that he would reside in either a primary residence or companion unit (proving neither would be used as rentals). Such agreements transfer with the property title to future owners. Although Sacido did not return with the signed agreement, per the city’s request his project designers did nix plans to include a full kitchen in each unit, the addition of which would have defined them as companion units, as opposed to guest quarters, per city municipal code. Removing the kitchen, and thus their presumed rental potential, also did away with the city’s requirement for at least one additional off-street parking space per unit. “They’re not technically a dwelling unit (anymore) … so those parking requirements

go away,” project representative and landscape architect John Krizan said. Although during July DPR meetings residents and homeowner association (HOA) members expressed concerns that the project could still be used for vacation rentals, on Sept. 8 the HOA’s architectural jury approved the plans, and a subsequent 15-day appeal period passed with no opposition. DPR Chair Paul Benton noted that the DPR does not consider private agreements such as a HOA’s covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs), though the HOA could advise the DPR on issues such as community character, he said. Krizan said the Sacido family might potentially use one unit as an art studio and the other as an exercise studio. Both would likely have bathrooms he said. “We have no problem accepting the limitation of not having a kitchen,” he maintained. “These are not companion units. … (They are) guest quarters.” However, DPR members were not assured that the current owner or subsequent owners would not use the proposed units for vacation rentals, student rentals or apartments down the line. Trustee Diane Kane noted that the removal of a kitchen wouldn’t preclude people from living in the units. “Hardly anybody cooks today,” she said. “If you’re allowed to put in a refrigerator and you’ve got water and you can bring in a hot plate, you’ve got a kitchen. … I think there’s

I don’t like to be greedy, but maybe it’s our time after 32 years.” Despojado and Serros requested that the matter be continued until after the city makes a determination on the home’s historicity. n Reservoir redux: DPR members also approved replacing a 500,000-gallon reservoir and pump station above La Jolla Country Club with one that has an increased storage capacity of 880,000 gallons. The reservoir, just west of the estate of Audrey Geisel, wife of the late author Theodor Geisel, went into service in 1927. It is located on city land, is shielded from view by vegetation and behind wroughtiron fencing. The city says the larger facility is needed to meet current city standards; help reduce maintenance and energy costs; improve water quality and water supply reliability; and meet La Jolla’s increased water demands. The project, to begin in Nov. 2015, will be under construction for about two years.

Trustee Kane, who lives in the area, noted “twisty, older streets that have poor sight lines and are fairly narrow. “I’m really pleased that we’re getting an upgrade to our system … but I just want to be sure that we’re not going to be having the streets disrupted and traffic and safety issues as a result of construction,” she said. City of San Diego Associate Planner Darren Genova said he and his colleagues would “definitely keep that in our minds as we go to the next stage.” n Care facility presentation postponed: A presentation on a proposed Fay Avenue residential care facility for people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia scheduled for the Sept. 9 DPR meeting was postponed while project representatives consider feedback from their presentation during the Sept. 8 Planned District Ordinance (PDO) meeting. The proposed project, dubbed Monarch Cottages, would require coastal and site development permits, as well as a

conditional-use permit, for a 26-unit, twostory care facility at 7630 Fay Ave. The building was once home to the Chopra Center and, most recently, SPA MD cosmetic surgery center. Although the PDO committee was pleased with the project, its members had reservations about its location — next door to the La Jolla Music Society’s planned performing arts center and across the street from the seven-screen Boffo Cinema complex under construction in the former Jonathan’s Market building. PDO member Michael Dershowitz said the applicant, Brian Longmore, sent a notice to residents and businesses within a 1,000-foot radius of the project. “They said they’ve gotten everyone’s approval for this,” Dershowitz said. In a statement to La Jolla Light, the music society’s executive director, Christopher Beach, confirmed, “We have met with them and we believe they will be good neighbors and look forward to working with them.” The applicant requested a continuance,

and will present the project again at PDO and DPR meetings in October. n La Jolla High concession stand/ restrooms: DPR members also considered a proposal to construct a concession stand and restrooms atop a water main abandoned in 2001 at La Jolla High School (near the athletic field). The school is seeking an easement vacation and coastal development permit for the project. DPR discussion included concerns about access to the facilities for people with disabilities, the public-right-of-way, possible proscriptive rights and other issues. Prior to a school district representative returning to the DPR’s Oct. 14 meeting, trustees requested: larger, colored project drawings, details of future plans for the area and photos of the site and its surroundings. n DPR meetings are open to the public and held 4 p.m. the second and third Tuesday of the month at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St., Room 1. u

CRIME NEWS Synagogue director sentenced to 18 months for embezzlement On Sept. 19, U.S. District Judge Dana M. Sabraw sentenced Eric S. Levine to 18 months in prison for stealing money from La Jolla’s Congregation Beth El synagogue. Levine served as Beth El’s executive director from July 2007 to December 2013, overseeing the synagogue’s annual budget. He also had access to, and control over, Beth El’s bank accounts, credit card accounts and bookkeeping records. According to a release issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigations, beginning sometime around February 2008, Levine began embezzling money from the synagogue for his own use. As part of his guilty plea, Levine admitted misappropriating $394,872 from the synagogue over five years. Based on additional accounting analysis and review of financial records, the congregation identified its ultimate losses from Levine’s conduct at more than $540,000. Levine was able to carry out his embezzlement by virtue of his control over Beth El’s bank account and credit card. On most occasions, he used money located in the congregation’s bank account to pay his own bills directly. On other occasions, he transferred balances from his personal credit card to the congregation’s credit card account, and then paid his balances with the congregation’s funds. In order to fool the congregation, its bookkeepers and executive staff, Levine falsified Beth El’s books and records to cover up his ongoing theft, hiding thousands of dollars in payments to himself by creating entries for legitimate expenses of the synagogue, in categories such as “Ritual Fund,” “Rabbi Emeritus,” “High Holidays,” “janitorial expense,” “utilities,” and “landscaping expense.” Levine also prepared false financial reports and annual budget proposals based on these inflated figures. The funds were used to pay a variety of Levine’s credit card charges, including trips to Mexico, Hawaii, Las Vegas and Canada; charges at a North County resort; monthly gym membership and regular $1,400 charges for a personal trainer and other expenditures. Levine also used Beth El’s money to appoint his home with expensive leather furniture

and barbecue equipment, buy jewelry and send his children to private school. Judge Sabraw said the case involved “deeply troubling circumstances” because Levine’s scheme victimized both his employer and congregants who shared his life and faith. “It’s a deception not only of the synagogue, but everyone who makes up the synagogue, so there are hundreds of victims. The sense of betrayal cannot be overstated,” he said. The Court ordered that Levine pay $543,000 in restitution for the funds he stole. He was also sentenced to three years of supervised release upon completion of his prison term. U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy added, “Mr. Levine embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars to finance a life of luxury for himself while betraying the people who believed in him. This defendant was a one-man wrecking ball to this congregation, both financially and emotionally, and today the court imposed a fitting sentence for such abhorrent conduct.”

Senior has tips for living with macular degeneration Guest Commentary By Roy K. Erickson La Jolla Senior Citizen

aradise Lost. No this is not being written by John Milton the famous English poet/ author of the 17th century. He had glaucoma and went completely blind at an early age. This is being written by Roy Erickson, a new White Sands resident. I have macular degeneration and sharply reduced vision. Macular degeneration affects about 20 percent of all American seniors over age 75, according to medical authorities. My condition began in May 2010. Since, my vision has slowly but steadily declined to a stage here where I am classified as “legally blind” with 20/200 vision, compared to the normal 20/20. I can still navigate without too much difficulty. Two main problems: reading printed matter without strong magnification is not possible and recognizing facial features or people more than 3 to 4 feet away is a problem. I have met at least a dozen residents here already who have macular degeneration. Sure there are many more still undiagnosed. My reason for writing this is to share some knowledge of what I have learned in the past four years. What causes macular degeneration? Heredity plays a major role. That we cannot change. The other major cause is prolonged

exposure to UV rays. Twenty years of playing golf in Arizona without wearing sun glasses wasn’t the smartest thing I have done, in retrospect. A third factor is lack of the special nutrients the eyes need. How can it be treated? It cannot be reversed, only slowed down. Getting the eye nutrients in supplements like Occuvite may be the most single helpful thing one can do. Certain foods, like blueberries, also are a source. For some, intra-occular injections with Avantis or Lucentis by a retinoligist can

slow down vision loss. How do you cope with it? There are a number of visual aids that can help. They range from closed-circuit TV cameras that can both enlarge printed material and some versions can also read copy out loud as well. With the help of software called Zoom Text, I can use my computer effectively. It not only magnifies things on the screen, but can also read material out loud to you. This is a summary of what I have learned in the past few years. Hopefully, it may be of interest to you or your spouse. u

Our READERS WRITE

Research reveals man, not seals has affected lobster size In a letter in the Sept. 25 issue, Ken Hunrichs asserts that the purported increase in seal population in and around the Children’s Pool has led to a reduction in the size of lobsters. I have two problems with this letter. One, Mr. Hunrichs makes this bold assessment of ecological cause and effect, but offers no data to support this assertion and I believe had he actually researched the issue, he would have discovered the scientific research that links over-fishing by humans and the use of rigid hoop nets by recreational fisherman to changes in the lobster population. In my review of several scientific publications on the issue of spiny lobster populations in California (one published as recently as May 14, 2014), I was unable to find a single reference to seals or sea lions as a contributing factor to the declination in the population or size of lobsters. Secondly, I am also disappointed that Mr. Hunrichs did not identify himself as the President of Friends of the Children’s Pool, a role he has served for a considerable period of time. He has fought passionately and tirelessly for what he believes is the appropriate use of the Children’s Pool. However, I fear that this difficult journey for him, and the recent decisions adverse to his cause, may be impacting his objectivity and judgment. David G. Boss La Jolla

There is room for parades for all beliefs, occasions

Congratulations to last week’s letter writer Donald Maescher for his knock out, three-line, letter to leave the name of the La Jolla Christmas Parade alone. Wow! What punch and to the point! The “B.S.” neutrality has gone too far, as well as the bullying tactics of the extremists. Based on their premises, the names of the Gay and Lesbian Parade and the St. Patrick’s Day Parades should be changed to “Brand X.” Diversity is fun and I’d be glad to attend a Hanukkah Parade, Diwali Light Festival, or any other excuse for goodwill and good cheer. Cindy Marten, and her veiled threats to not allow children to march in the parade, is a disgrace. As far as Howard Singer, his obsessive campaign to change the name has long been known. Mary Rayes La Jolla

Tracing the real spirit of the Christmas Parade Regarding the Guest Commentary and letters about La Jolla Christmas Parade in the Sept. 18 issue. I didn’t see the “Christian” spirit therein. “ … their agenda ... prevail … over the community majority” “… dragging out old history … incidents of prejudice, bigotry or discrimination” “… a few biased individuals” “… deep-seated vengefulness”

“…. for perceived wrong doings.” (Once upon a time), La Jollans did officially and unofficially discriminate. We need to admit that, apologize, and move to how we can be inclusive for these past mistakes. That is “Christian.” Call the parade what you want, but just don’t use any of my tax dollars to underwrite or sponsor it. If a business supports the current name, I can decide not to patronize them. The parade is a marketing tool to open the “holiday season” in La Jolla for business and the economy. Charles Kaminski La Jolla

Thanks for candid review about profanity Thank you for your recent candid review of “Kingdom City” at La Jolla Playhouse. It helped me a great deal. Like one of the play’s this season at The Old Globe, profane language may represent reality in certain segments of society, but I simply don’t have the stomach for it. I walked out of the Old Globe play. I thank you for saving me the same pain for my tickets last Wednesday. May this be a lesson to producers and directors of the theaters: Know your audience, don’t let them suffer needlessly. You can produce good theater without an overdose of profanity.

OBITUARIES

Esther Feier 1933 – 2014

Robert Feier is sad to announce the passing of his beloved wife and best friend of 54 years on Saturday, September 20, 2014, at 4:20pm. Esther Feier passed peacefully at home surrounded by family and friends. She will always be remembered for her passion for equal rights. Her passion for education. Her passion for arts. Her passion for keeping teen moms in school. She was a catalyst for change in the community and her home was a welcome gathering place for family, friends and anyone needing a place to go. She has been a source of inspiration and an amazing example for her three children, Dan, Andrea and Hilary; their spouses; her seven grandchildren, Natasha, Joel, Ana, Francesca, Aaron, Sofia and Alex; and extended community. Born with the fighting spirit that would come to define her, Esther Rona Haberman came into the world prematurely on September 25, 1933, at 3 ½ lbs. She was not expected to survive and so was brought home from Beth Israel Hospital in New York City without any name. She grew up in the tenements of the Lower East Side of New York and was a standout from the beginning. She was the youngest of three siblings, Ethel who was 11 years older, and Harry who was 13 years older. But Esther, as was her way, caught up fast. She excelled academically and graduated high school at age 16 and headed off to City College of New York (CCNY) where she earned her Bachelors in Business Administration. Esther worked for a Jewish Advertising Agency (full Mad Men style) and she and her best friend,

Renee Wexler, supported the local boutique spending every cent they earned on the most current fashions. For Esther, there was no contradiction between fashion and feminism. So when Esther met Robert through his cousin and he was wearing a green suit, a green shirt and a huge flower tie (in defense of Robert, he is colorblind) Esther was unimpressed. So unimpressed that, she said, he looked like a Greenhorn. It was not love at first sight. Several months later after a night of dinner and dancing – the spark was ignited and thus a lifetime of shared interests and values began. In 1960, Bob and Esther were married, and lived in the Bronx while Robert finished his senior year at NYU College of Engineering. Esther supported Robert while working as a bookkeeper in Manhattan’s Jewelry District (initiating a lifelong love of jewelry for Esther). Esther’s real political activism began during the Kennedy campaign and she attended many rallies. In 1961 Esther and Robert moved to Melrose, MA, and she really found her political and intellectual voice at American Association of University Women (AAUW). In 1970, following the birth of her two daughters and the arrival of her stepson from Israel, the family moved to Andover, MA. She rallied the women in Andover to stand up and support the Equal Rights Amendment and was pivotal in raising their consciousness. As President of AAUW in Andover she helped secure a place for a delegate to march in Houston along with Bella Abzug. As a result of Esther’s leadership her team insisted she join the delegate as well and Esther was thrilled to participate in such a momentous event. Her passion for equality and education led her, in 1982, at age 48, to enter Harvard for a Master’s Degree in Education. For Esther, this was a logical extension of her commitment to justice, and her love of education, which she passed on to her children. Esther wasn’t just extraordinary in the work

she did with others. She was also a great mother, totally devoted to her children. She was a role model to her kids. Esther was, outside of her family, but especially inside, a fierce advocate. If she loved you, she would fight for you. Esther was so sure that Dan would succeed at Brandeis that she fought for him to go and was unsurprised when he succeeded. She was unstintingly supportive of Andrea’s dancing aspirations even though it wasn’t a traditional career path. She was equally as supportive of Hilary’s career in a male-dominated field, and an advocate for her grandkids. She wanted them all to value education, do what they were passionate about, and do it justly. In 1985, Esther and Robert relocated to La Jolla, CA, and her leadership skills were quickly tapped as she became President of the Brandeis University National Women’s Chapter in San Diego, (BUNWC). She really took to her work educating and mentoring pregnant and parenting Latina teens. For these women, Esther became their advocate and cheerleader and encouraged them to continue their education; helping without enabling them. Esther was a great friend, too. She was a community builder, always bringing people together. Whether it was family or women’s rights or Jewish holidays, the Feier home was always busy and full: hosting events, parties, study groups, salons and consciousness raising groups. Esther was, until her very last moments, a fierce and passionate fighter. She threw all of herself – heart and mind – into what she thought was important, whether it was her children’s educations or the opportunities for young women born into poverty. She fought fiercely, but she also lived fiercely. She was passionate about justice, education and feminism, but especially about her children, grandchildren and community. And even though he sometimes drove her crazy, Esther was especially passionate about Robert, the love of her life. And for all the

ways they made each other crazy, they also made each other complete. Robert and Esther’s love was, from the first, deep and real. Esther Feier was a feminist, an advocate, a warrior for justice who changed, touched, and transformed so many lives. She was, in her home and outside, in her community and beyond, a woman of valor and a true mensch. The world, and her family, will not be the same without her. And there is no question, no question at all, that Esther’s memory will be, as her life was, a great blessing.

Herbert Wohl 1928 – 2014

Herbert Wohl, 86, passed away at home on Wednesday, September 24, 2014, after a few months of weakness and declining health. He was surrounded in his last days by his loving family and close friends. His style in medical practice and in life is epitomized by three questions: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? These guiding principles have been quietly passed on to his children and grandchildren, and to all who have known him. Herb was born in Manhattan in 1928 and grew up in the Bronx. After graduating from the Bronx High School of Science at the age of sixteen, he followed his passion and studied Chemistry at Cornell University. He then completed his medical degree at Columbia

University. He had a long and distinguished clinical and academic medical career, first at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, followed by a sabbatical year at the Karonlinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, then at UCSD and the V.A. Hospital where he was Chief of Hematology/ Oncology, and finally in private practice in West Hills, CA. He was well loved by his patients for his gentle demeanor and his compassionate bedside manner. Herb enjoyed a vibrant, 20-year retirement in which he pursued his many artistic and creative interests. His hobbies included making orange marmalade, concocting new recipes for the soap he loved to make, designing and creating beautiful jewelry, and studying the art of intricate Japanese braiding (Kumihimo). He also studied the Japanese language, an interest that began when he was stationed in Japan in the army for two years. He developed an interest in computers in the mid1970s, which led to a deep knowledge and expertise in technology that endured until the end of his life. He also loved to tinker in his large, well-stocked wood, jewelry and craft workshop. He enjoyed his seven grandchildren and 1.75 great-grandchildren immensely. Herb is survived by his wife of 53 years, Audrey Wohl; daughters, Stacie (Martin) Zanzucchi and Jennifer (John Perona) Wohl; son, Matthew (Pam) Wohl; granddaughters, Natalie, Audrey and Francesca Zanzucchi, and Sydney Wohl; grandsons, Dominic Zanzucchi, and Owen and Ben Wohl; great-grandson, Jerome Zanzucchi (and one greatgrandchild on the way); and nephew, Andrew Todd (Kate) Wohl. Friends and family are invited to the memorial service in honor of Herb on Sunday, October 26, 2014, at 2pm at UCSD Faculty Club, 9500 Gilman Drive, Muir Ln., La Jolla, (858) 534-0876.

Surfrider Foundation installs 200th ashcan in San Diego The Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter’s Hold On To Your Butt (HOTYB) committee revitalized its ashcans in Pacific Beach, replacing dilapidated stickers and installing new ashcans on Sept. 28. HOTYB volunteers, along with partners I Love A Clean San Diego and Discover PB, hit the streets to replace eight older ashcans and install 14 new ones while cleaning up cigarette butts at the installation locations. “Cigarette butts and other tobacco product waste are the most commonly found items during urban and beach cleanups worldwide,” said SDSU Public Health Professor Thomas Novotny and researcher Elli Slaughter in a recent article published in Current Environmental Health Reports. “An estimated 4.5 trillion of the 6 trillion cigarettes sold annually worldwide do not end up in a dustbin or ashtray, but are simply flicked away along a roadside or on a pavement.” The number of cigarette butts found on beaches is overwhelming, accounting for 40 percent of the items collected during Surfrider’s monthly public beach cleanups. Cigarette waste discarded miles inland compounds the problem as it can end up in drains that flow to streams, rivers, bays, lagoons, and ultimately the ocean.

Noisy air-cooling units may need servicing My wife and I returned (after 50 years of living elsewhere) to the place of our birth, just a few months ago. We were both born at Scripps Hospital when it was just a driver and an iron shot from the Pacific Ocean. We moved into the Park Row house built by my grandfather before we were born in the 1920s. We are in our 80s and hoping to finish our reamining years in peace and quiet. It was a peaceful and quiet neighborhood years ago, but that has changed. Perhaps the thing that bothers us most is the noise from the roof-top air-conditioning units. In these warm summer months, there is a constant drumming cycle sound to these units that can be heard throughout the area. If this is a natural condition, so be it. We hope perhaps it will be quieter in the winter months. However, if the noise is caused by roof-top units that need service, repair or some sort of sound barrier, we wish it would be done so we (and the rest of the neighborhood), can have some peace and quiet. Fred R. Livingstone La Jolla

Educators should keep opinions to themselves San Diego School District Superintendent Cindy Marten’s comments concerning the La Jolla Christmas Parade emphasize one of the major problems in education today. Rather than teaching respect for the complexity of society, administrators and many faculty members teach intolerance and exclusion based on their personal opinions and beliefs in elementary, secondary and collegiate levels.

This installation will help the HOTYB committee reach its goal of installing the 200th ashcan in San Diego County. The organization has seen a 65 percent decrease in cigarette butt litter where ashcans have been installed. For details, visit sandiego.surfrider.org/ campaigns/hold-on-to-your-butt and direct questions about the Pacific Beach ashcan project to hotyb@surfridersd.org James Marvel and Patrick McDuffie Hold On To Your Butt Co-Chairs

To deny students the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in public forums such as a parade based on an administrator’s prejudice robs both the students and the citizens of the community. Steps should be taken to eliminate this intolerance, bigotry and narcissism from our educational system. Eleanor Mosca La Jolla

Arch Academy relay team swims Catalina Channel under nightfall

Arch Academy’s Zombie Patrol team celebrate after returning from their Catalina Channel relay. Courtesy Photos

By Stephen Metcalfe Braving the threat of giant swells and rough seas from Hurricane Norbert, Wesley Metcalfe, 17, of La Jolla, and his Arch Academy relay team swam across the Catalina Channel the night of Sept. 5. Team members swam through the darkness for most of the 20-plus miles, witnessed a beautiful sunrise over the Pacific and completed the journey to a rocky Palos Verdes cove just before noon on Saturday in 11 hours and 45 minutes. The Arch Academy is a year-round, wraparound, private, college prep, comprehensive school serving Kindergarten through 12th grade. Its students are those who struggle in the traditional school setting. “What is most amazing about the Zombie Patrol members, as they call themselves, is that many of the swimmers struggle with Autism, ADD, ADHD or other issues that have precluded them from participating in team sports,” said school founder, Cheryl Zak. For most of the Arch students, this is the first time they have relied on others or have had to be a reliable team member. The rules are exacting; the physical demands extraordinary, and each team member must have a high tolerance for the unknown and deep trust for their fellow team members.” The swim, monitored and sanctioned by the Catalina Channel Swimming Federation, requires swimmers to begin the timed event from dry land and complete it on dry land,

so giant surf is a concern. The relay has to be done just right or months of preparation can be lost. The swimmers follow exacting rules or face disqualification. No swimmer may use or be assisted by artificial aids. including wetsuits or fins and no swimmer may touch or be touched by any person or object during the swim. An official observer is responsible for the timing of the swim and the interpretation of the rules. Zombie Patrol members have been training for the swim over the past year. They began with three-day-a-week sessions of weight lifting and 2,000 meters of swimming at the Santee Cameron Family YMCA. In recent months, the 6 a.m. sessions moved to the shores of La Jolla Cove. In the spring, they traveled to San Francisco and completed the Alcatraz Sharkfest swim from Alcatraz Island to Aquatic Park near Fisherman’s Wharf, and this summer while other students were enjoying the beach for surfing, sun and relaxation, Zombie Patrol continued their 6 a.m. ocean swims three times a week. In July they added two night swims per week that started at 8:30 p.m. The night swims acclimated the team to the cold temperatures and sensations of night ocean swimming. Dan Simonelli, founder of the Open Water Swim Academy, coaches the team.

trends & events Tickets on Sale for 100th Anniversary Celebration of historic Irving Gill building The amazing and beautiful Irving Gill historic building on Draper Avenue has become “younger” with each passing year. Ellen Browning Scripps commissioned this building as a permanent home for the La Jolla Woman’s Club. In recent years and with the grants from the Scripps Foundation and Riford Foundation, huge efforts have been made to restore and maintain the unique beauty of this property. The La Jolla Woman’s Club welcomes the public (ladies and gentlemen) to join us as we commemorate this unique and important milestone within our beautiful community! The evening’s festivities will start at 5:30 pm with wine, hors d’oeuvres and music. Our guest speaker is Professor Molly McClain of USD who has penned several books included one on Ellen Browning Scripps. As part of the evening, we will feature La Jolla in pictures from over the last 100 years provided by our friends at the La Jolla Historical Society. A special dinner will be served by one of La Jolla’s own, Girard Gourmet. Join us with our Master of Ceremony, the “Voice of La Jolla” Ron Jones as we celebrate our historic La Jolla landmark.

Arch Academy members get ready for the relay to begin at night and watch the sunrise during the 20-plus-mile swim through the Catalina Channel. From Catalina Swim, A25 Simonelli is an official observer and support crewmember for the Catalina Channel Swimming Federation. He is an experienced English Channel support swimmer and crewmember. Friday evening as they left for Catalina on their boat, The Bottom Scratcher, Metcalfe and his fellow Arch students knew they could face rough seas and treacherous conditions created by Hurricane Norbert as it churned its way up the Baja coast. The team had already faced disappointment the previous week when their first attempt was cancelled because of high seas and rough conditions created by Hurricane Marie. The relay started when The Bottom Scratcher arrived off the shore of Catalina Island around 11 p.m. One member of each relay team jumped from the boat into the dark waters of the Pacific. It was just before midnight and the swimmers were only visible with red and green waterproof lights they wore. The first two team members swam to the Catalina Island shore and got out of the water to comply with the federation rule that the relay must start on dry land. They re-entered the water, the relay clock started and the swim for San Pedro began. With unpredictable currents, swells and wind and the disorientation of swimming at night, the team members were not sure where or when they would land. Sea sickness immediately became a problem for some and once swimming, team members

encountered stinging jellyfish. As the swim progressed, officials predicted the teams would take 12 to 15 hours to complete the journey, but once the sun rose and with the help of a favorable current, the swimmers increased their speed. According to shipboard observers, an unprecedented number of pods of dolphins also arrived to escort the group, inspiring the students. As the final two swimmers swam toward the dry land of Palos Verdes Peninsula, all the students jumped from the boat into the water to follow their teammates into shore. As the final two swimmers cleared the water, they were joined by all the team members who, together, celebrated the successful completion of the relay. Arch Academy’s Zombie Patrol members include Austin Drawdy, 16, Rancho Santa Fe; C.J. Fotinos, 15, Ocean Beach; Faith Irvine, 13, and Zachary Irvine, 14, Carlsbad; Maddy Israel, 16, San Marcos; Kaylee Kussman, 16, Betzi Lindberg, 19, Matthew Georgy, 15, Diana Linney, 17, and Bella Manley, 17, all of San Diego; Wesley Metcalfe, 17, La Jolla; Noah Rowan, 16, Encinitas; and Lauren Weinreb, 15, Chula Vista. This winter Zombie Patrol members will begin training for an English Channel relay between Calais, France and Dover, England. While the distance is similar to the Catalina Channel relay, the English Channel swim is considered more difficult because of the colder temperatures and stronger currents. For information about the academic, student and family-life philosophy and activities at Arch Academy, contact Julie BeDell, (619) 887-3522. u

Let Inga Tell You

Please don’t come back

La Jolla Cultural Partners

t’s an old joke: if you only ate healthy food, would you live to 100, or would it just seem that way? A close friend of many years, Gina, regaled us at a recent birthday lunch at Sammy’s about the Dinner Guests from Hell whose dietary requirements were so draconian she feared serving her first ever company meal of carrot sticks and water. Now, Gina is actually a pro at feeding picky eaters. Some five years ago, her son and daughter-in-law decided to transition from being vegetarians to vegans. I wish I had recorded the hilarious stories of her first year or two of disastrous vegan meals that provided endless fodder for lunches at Sammy’s. But five years later she’s a pro. Her latest story, told over the complimentary birthday “messy sundae” (definitely not vegan) at Sammy’s should have earned her the Vegan Cook of the Century award. An old college friend had contacted her earlier in the week that she and her husband would be in San Diego for a few days and hoped to get together. BTW, roommate noted, she should mention that her husband had gone vegan, and she, for reasons involving both practicality and marital solidarity, had joined him.

Gina was thrilled to reply that she was now an accomplished vegan chef. Come on over! The e-mails begin arriving soon after. Turns out college friend’s husband has kicked it up a few notches. In addition to being strictly vegan, hubby has electively added numerous other restrictions, including no consumption of added fats or oils, or foods with inherent fats or oils, like, for example, nuts. Further, the e-mails continued, wife did not eat bell peppers; husband would not eat cilantro. No coffee. No alcohol. As Gina had long since learned, a vegan diet is strictly plant-based: No meat, poultry, fish or seafood. Not even honey which comes from bees. (I find this one puzzling; it’s not like you’re eating the bees.) No dairy (milk, cheese, cream, sour cream, cream cheese, etc). No eggs. And with these guests, no baked goods, no salad dressings with oil. Any vegetables, it was noted, must be sautéed in water or vegetable broth. As Gina rejected recipe after recipe from her vegan cookbooks, she began to feel a touch of desperation. But finally she created a menu: ersatz chili rellenos filled with some vegan glop instead of cheese,

and a “shepherds pie” lacking anything an actual shepherd might herd but instead containing a textured soy protein base (in lieu of hamburger) topped with butter-less cream-less mashed potatoes. A fruit salad — no honey! — would add some color. She frankly wasn’t sure how the entrées were going to taste but she was sure her tried and true Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Mousse (melted vegan chocolate chips, silken tofu, raspberry extract, and a little vanilla) would be a hit. In lieu of the nowtaboo nuts, she’d top it with fresh berries. Fortunately no mention on the War-andPeace-length list about chocolate. Whew! When her guests arrived, it was clear that however supportive the wife was being about this new lifestyle, she was not having fun. In fact, she had the distinct look of a woman taking Valium (which is hopefully vegan). Dollars to donuts, wife has a stash of bacon dip and Little Debbie snack cakes hidden in the garage back home. Wife mentions that this was a test trip of their new food plan before commencing more extensive travel. Given that they were potentially planning to visit Europe, a place known to have fat, Gina queried the husband over dinner if, while they were abroad, he would consider some flexibility in his dietary requirements. Husband’s answer was instantaneous and unequivocal: No. I should mention here that these restrictions were largely elective: no allergies to any of these foods. But husband had had a heart scare and had determined that this regimen was his best chance at longevity. And apparently this diet had indeed reamed out his arteries and made him the pride of his primary care doctor’s

office. He was now solidly on track to have many more years of a despondent wife and friends who hate them. Gina clears the table. Dinner had provided sustenance but on the flavor scale had hovered around a two. Or maybe that was a minus two. But she knows the dessert is a winner. As she proudly serves the four beautifully decorated dishes of vegan chocolate raspberry mousse, she is dismayed to see the stricken look on the wife’s face. “Oh, dear!” says wife. “Did I forget to mention that George doesn’t eat chocolate?” She adds, apologetically, “I do, but not after 6 p.m.” “So,” I said to Gina as we slurped down the last of the sundae, “did you pour it over their miserable heads?” No, alas, she didn’t. Too nice a person. Good thing they weren’t eating at my house. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

Mango Chilean Sea Bass

Dine the ‘guacho way’ at Brazilian steakhouse By Kelley Carlson t Fogo de Chão, patrons get a taste of the “gaucho way.” Actually, it’s more like a bellyful. For a set price ($22.50-$51.50 per person), guests can fill up on all-you-can-eat gourmet salads and grilled meats at this Brazilian steakhouse, located in the heart of downtown San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. The experience is unique, and is explained to customers shortly after their arrival and seating. This is the perfect opportunity to order Brazil’s national cocktail, the Caipirinha, a strong, sweet-yettart beverage created with silver cachaça (sugarcane liquor) and muddled with limes. Meanwhile, Pao de Queso (cheesy bread puffs) are brought to the table, and the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail is offered as an optional appetizer (at an additional cost). The next step is to take a trip to the gourmet salad bar. It’s easy to go overboard with all the selections — more than 30 items — but if meat is on the agenda, it’s probably best to take things slow and steady. But the temptation is there, with fresh vegetables, Brazilian side dishes, cured meats and imported cheeses. There’s everything from marinated Shiitake mushrooms, to seasonal salads such as the Strawberry, Spinach and Endive, to smoked salmon slices and triangles of manchego. Then it’s time for the main attraction — meats, prepared the “gaucho way,” roasted over open fire.

On The Menu Recipe n The Recipe of the Week is

Fogo de Chão’s Cheesy Bread Puffs Find it at the bottom of the online version of this story at lajollalight.com or visit www.bit.ly/otmrestaurants Patrons have a card on their table, red side up, and when they’re ready, they flip it over to the green side. It’s not long before the gaucho chefs make their way over, each presenting a different cut. There are 16 to choose from, and the chefs will slice it to the preferred thickness, at the desired degree of doneness. “You can have as much or as little as you want,” General Manager Adam Schroeder said. The signature is the Picanha, a juicy prime cut of top sirloin. But there are others that shouldn’t be missed, including the Alcatra, a flavorful top sirloin; the Filet Mignon, with a tender center; the marbled and rich Beef Ancho (rib eye); and the

robust Fraldinha (bottom sirloin). And there’s more than beef that’s brought around, including Frango (two varieties, including chicken breast wrapped in bacon), Linguica (spicy, slow-roasted pork sausages); Lombo (pork filet encrusted with Parmesan) and Cordeiro (leg of lamb accompanied by mint jelly and chimichurri). Mango Chilean Sea Bass can be substituted for the meats. Meanwhile, sides are brought to the table to complement the meats, consisting of crispy polenta, garlic mashed potatoes and caramelized bananas. And there are a number of wines (international and domestic) that pair well with the fare, including the restaurant’s smooth malbec. The chefs will keep stopping by a table with sizzling selections until the card is flipped back to the red side. Turn it back to green, and the merry-go-round of meats begins again. If possible, diners may want to attempt to leave room for dessert, at least for the Papaya Cream. The rich concoction is a blend of papaya and vanilla ice cream, decorated with crème de cassis. Other sweet options include South American flan, Crème Brulee, and assorted cheesecakes and chocolate cakes. An accompanying shot of espresso can help relieve the food coma. Guests seeking lighter fare may enjoy Bar Fogo for happy hour or small plates, such as Picanha Sliders or Shrimp Skewers. u

Tickets on sale for ‘Cheers’ gala

he National Cheers Foundation will hold its second annual gala, “Tuxedo & Pearls: A Black & White Masquerade!” 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24 at Scripps Seaside Forum in La Jolla. The festivities begin with craft cocktails and a silent auction, culinary creations and specialty entertainment. The inspired “vintage glamour” theme invites guests to “step into in an evening resplendent with Art Deco influences and the Roaring Twenties where speakeasies reigned and gangsters and gambling were rampant.” Tickets are $125 each at nationalcheersfoundation.org. Proceeds from last year’s event, “FantaSea En Masque,” benefitted Barnhart Cancer Center at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, serving low-income communities in south San Diego County. Cheers grants were also presented to Family Health Centers, Postpartum Health Alliance, Scripps Research Institute and Cal State University San Marcos Foundation. The National Cheers Foundation focuses on women’s health and raises funds to support medical research and health institutions and health advocacy groups. u

With the end of the World War I, La Jolla grew to 4,000. True. When World War II began, 7,700 people called La Jolla home. After the war, many service members came back to settle in La Jolla, and large subdivisions began sprouting up on the mountain slopes and old horse trails were paved over. By 1960, there were more than 17,000 people living in La Jolla — today, there are 40,000. u — La Jolla Historical Society

Fearless Carrot Cake

Catharine L. Kaufman

Fearless baking tips for fall (Part 1)

s autumn breezes in, my culinary gears automatically shift full-throttle into baking mode. For some strange reason even competent cooks are fearful of baking, which is really much simpler than cooking. The latter is like jazz, a type of improvisation, a pinch of this, a drizzle of that, allowing much leeway for creative freedom and forgiveness for error. Baking, on the other hand, is a symphony; the music must be read precisely, the maestro’s visible gestures followed exactly, with no room for individual expression, like blindly following a recipe. It’s time to crank up the ovens, pull out the mix masters, cookie sheets and loaf pans, round up the fall spices and perfume your home with aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and cardamom. Your baking fears will now be allayed, your questions answered. n Can I substitute baking soda for baking powder? While both powdery white substances are leavening agents to make your assorted baked goods rise by a chemical reaction that creates bubbles of carbon dioxide, the two are not interchangeable.

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, a pure base. As such, it needs to combine with an acid like buttermilk to counter the acerbic taste. Since the chemical reaction is an immediate one, doughs and batters need to be baked pronto, or the baking soda won’t have any leavening effects. Pancakes, anyone? Baking powder is a hybrid, both an acid and a base, blending sodium bicarbonate with cream of tartar and cornstarch, yielding a neutral taste. It is usually used in recipes with other neutral-tasting ingredients like milk. While baking powder can be substituted for baking soda, (although you will have to add more), you cannot switch baking soda for baking powder. Homemade baking powder can be easily concocted by combining two parts of cream of tartar with one part of baking soda. One last recommendation: Buy aluminum-free baking powder. n How can I soften butter so it’s easier when creaming with sugar? For those who can’t wait till it softens at room temperature, cut butter in cubes in a mixing bowl, or pound in a zip bag with a

n Ingredients: — For the Cake: • 2 cups grated carrots • 2 cups brown sugar • 2 cups unbleached flour • 2 teaspoons baking soda • 4 eggs • 1/2 cup plain yoghurt, Greek style • 1 cup canola or grapeseed oil • 1 cup toasted, chopped pecans • 1/2 cup golden raisins • 1 tablespoon cinnamon • Pinch of salt, nutmeg and ginger powder — For the Cream Cheese Frosting: • 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter • 8 ounces cream cheese • 1/2 cup powdered sugar n Method: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a rectangular baking pan (8x12). Set aside. In a food processor or bowl of an electric mixer, combine sugar, oil, yoghurt rolling pin. If you have a double boiler, put some boiling water in the bottom, the butter on top, and heat gently until softened. Resist the microwave, as it tends to make butter too runny. n How can I tell when my cake is done? Most bakers do the toothpick test, inserting it in the center of the cake, and if

and eggs. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients, and blend with the wet ones. Pour into baking pan and bake for about 25 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test. Let cool before icing. For the frosting, soften the butter, then blend with the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Spread on carrot cake. Garnish with toasted pecans. (Inspired from Brian Malarkey’s cookbook, “Come Early, Stay Late.”) it comes out clean and dry except for a few clinging crumbs, it’s done. Other tell-tales signs – if the cake edges start to separate from the pan, or if the center is firm and springy to the touch. Finally, you can take the cake’s temperature. When it reaches 210 degrees F. in the center, it’s ready. u — For additional baking queries, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

From 10 Questions, B1 If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? San Diego, and La Jolla in particular, are wonderful places to live. If I could snap my fingers to bring about change I would make this county the most sustainable in the country by reducing traffic and emissions, improving public transportation, increasing use of solar energy and comprehensive recycling to reduce waste. I would also like to see an educational system that is more equitable no matter where a child lives or what his/her level of ability may be.

n collaboration with the Center of World Music in La Jolla, students in fifth and seventh grades at San Diego French-American School are learning about the ensemble of instruments from Indonesia known as Gamelan, which literally means “instrument” in Indonesian. This “instrument” is composed of an ensemble of percussion pieces, such as metallophones played with mallets, xylophones and bamboo flutes. This very ancient instrument is still played at traditional ceremonies in Indonesia. Musician Tylor Yamin, from the Center of World Music, is a specialist of Gamelan. He visits SDFAS weekly to teach students how to play as well as discuss Indonesian history and culture. This intricate instrument, which requires an investment of time to transport, assemble and dismantle, will remain at the school for the duration of the program. This is the first time the Center of World Music has taught this particular program to such a young audience. SDFAS is at 6550 Soledad Mountain Road in La Jolla. u

What is your philosophy of life? Although I do believe that some values are and should be constant throughout life, I think that what becomes important at different stages changes with time; a philosophy of life is a developmental process. The two quotes that most resonate with me at this point in time are: “There is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night” by Albert Camus, and given my new position at the San Diego Center for Children, I have been thinking a great deal about Walt Disney’s words, “Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.” What would be your dream vacation? I love traveling, exploring new cultures and retracing the sites where history has been made. I also love to visit locations where nature leaves you speechless. My vacation dreams are many and include spending two or three weeks immersing myself in a city or a country, its peoples and traditions to be able to truly get a feel for what our sameness and differences are. I would like our next adventure to take us to Africa. u

LA JOLLA LIGHT - October 2, 2014 - Page B17

This year’s festival is one block longer, spanning Girard Avenue between Prospect Street and Torrey Pines Road. Courtesy From Art & Wine Festival, B1 permit covers the whole weekend. Although LJAWF is free and open to the public, the Brew Fest is for those 21 and older and costs $35. With admission comes unlimited tastings. At least a dozen brewers are lined up — including URBN St. Brewing Co., Coronado Brewing Co., Helms Brewing, Green Flash, La Jolla Brewing Co., Golden Coast Mead and New English Brewing Co. — and each will bring two types of beer to sample. Many breweries will also serve during LJAWF. “One of the breweries, URBN St. Brewing Co., brewed a BraveCort dry Irish stout just for the event,” Dahlberg said. “They are going to tap that beer for the first time at the Brew Fest.” While proceeds from LJAWF still benefit La Jolla Elementary, Bird Rock Elementary, Torrey Pines Elementary and Muirlands Middle schools, proceeds from the Brew Fest event are earmarked for pediatric brain cancer research. The event, produced by the BraveCort Foundation under the auspices the of LJAWF, is held in honor of Dahlberg’s son Cort, who lost his battle with a rare form of brain cancer two years ago when he was 8 years old. The Brew Fest runs 8-11 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11 on the LJAWF grounds along Girard Avenue. During the Fest, the beer stein holding contest will pit individuals against each other to see who can hold a one-liter stein of beer in one hand the longest. Those interested can sign up to participate at BraveCort.com

The Main Event The two-day LJAWF (expanded by an extra block this year), runs along Girard Avenue between Prospect Street and Torrey Pines Road. “Last year, we stopped at Kline Street, but because of interest by the artists and merchants on that remaining block, we decided to expand the festival and bring the crowds down there, too,” Dahlberg said. The children’s art section and roaming entertainment has been stepped up, too, said festival founder Sherry Ahern. “There will be Cirque (du Soleil) type performances throughout the day, along with Stomp-style percussion dancing, the La Jolla High School Marching Band, dancers from the Ooh La La Dance Academy and singers from all over,” she said, hinting that some flash mobs might pop up.

6th annual La Jolla Art & Wine Festival ■ When: • 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11 • Brew Fest 8-11 p.m., Saturday • 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 12. ■ Where: Girard Avenue between Prospect Street and Torrey Pines Road ■ Benefits: La Jolla Elementary, Bird Rock Elementary, Torrey Pines Elementary and Muirlands Middle. Brew Fest benefits local pediatric brain cancer research. ■ Admission: Free ■ Perks: Valet parking at La Jolla High School, with all-day shuttle service to the festival. ■ Website: ljawf.org The Geppetto’s Family Art Center, located on Wall Street, will have art stations for the little ones in different media — photography with Outside the Lens, cooking with Sur la Table, fragrance-making with Tijon parfumerie, face painting, photo booths and, of course, painting a car donated by Witt Lincoln. For the adults, vino will be available from more than 40 wineries from San Diego and the Valle de Guadalupe region of Baja. “Because of the size of it, we have something for everyone of every age,” Ahern said. “It could take you all day to see everything.” A jury of artists, authors, critics and collectors handpicked the participating artists, who will show paintings, sculptures, ceramics, jewelry, fine glass, woodwork, mixed media and photography. Ahern added there would also be a silent auction, to which almost every artist contributes. Last year, the auction raised a record $26,000. Proceeds from the festival will be used to underwrite school programs such as art, music, science, physical education and technology. Since its inception in 2009, the festival has raised $338,000. u

‘The Royale’ goes ringside with early 20th century boxing circuit By Diana Saenger The Old Globe Theatre ushers in an unusual and exciting play with “The Royale,” directed by two-time Obie Award-winning and Drama Desk Award-nominated Rachel Chavkin. Loosely based on the life of turn-of-thecentury boxing legend Jack Johnson, the male cast includes a lone female, Montego Glover, as Nina. The challenge of playing against the men did not intimidate Glover, although she admits she was a little hesitant about the boxing theme. “Boxing is one sport I cringe at because I find it so brutal,” she said. “It’s taken a little bit of patience and bravery for me to get in the mode, but once we started boxing classes with a trainer, it was really great. Jack Johnson is a fascinating character and this play, based on his life with a woman, was a clincher that attracted me to the project.” In “The Royale,” Jay (Robert Christopher Riley) longs for the title of Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. However, it’s 1905 and “The Sport,” as he calls himself, has to deal with racial tensions. “There’s something exciting and fascinating about the turn-of-the-century and Americans — in particular African-Americans,” Glover said. “In the world of sports, and on the world stage in that era, there were only three — boxing, baseball and horseracing. That boxing had a real center-stage presence was interesting, especially with the number of sports we have now.” Glover said she was excited to join director Chavkin on this production, and couldn’t say enough about how terrific she and the actors

were to work with, including: Riley, John Lavelle (Max), Ray Anthony Thomas (Wynton) and Okieriete Onaodowan (Fish). “Nina is the woman in Jay’s life who is driven, firm and strong in her beliefs,” Glover said. “She enters the play with a clear and direct point that needs to be made to Jay about this incredible experience he’s about to have — the fight of the century for the heavyweight championship. “I’ve been delighted to work with Rachel. We are all so focused and everyone has been so good about staying on their game. But she is clearly at the helm and at the same time extraordinarily collaborative — serving the piece in the process.” Glover called “The Royale” a marvelous play that theatregoers will enjoy, agreeing with Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein that through these characters, audiences will see the world in a new way. “The dialogue around these things matter and have universality about them,” she said. “The roots of this play run deep, but it’s clear and concise, so being able to pull it off the page and send it through space to people in the room, who can grab some of the roots of this story and send it out beyond the room, is amazing.”

Montego Glover appears as Nina, John Lavelle as Max and Robert Christopher Riley as Jay in Marco Ramirez’s ‘The Royale’ at The Old Globe Theatre. Ken Jacques

Two Sam Shepard plays in the footlights on Cygnet stage By Diana Saenger Cygnet Theatre Artistic Director Sean Murray seems to have a good intuition for plays that will both entertain an audience and challenge his actors and crew. Current productions are PulitzerPrize winning playwright Sam Shepard’s “True West” and “Fool for Love.” Murray said he likes many things about Shepard’s plays, including that he’s a witty but visceral writer. “It’s exciting to read his work, but it’s only in the live production that we see what he’s going after,” Murray said. “We’re running these two plays in repertory, but it’s not necessary to see both or one before the other. In a way, they are slightly similar in that you can feel the hand of the playwright focus on identity crisis.” In “Fool for Love” Eddie (Francis Gercke) is hunting down May (Carla Harting), the passionate love of his life. He finds her in a hotel and tries to get her to come back to him. May wants to break the relationship and start life anew.

Cygnet Artistic Director Sean Murray Courtesy “True West” is about two brothers. Austin (Gercke) is a screenwriter who is taking care of his mother’s home in suburban Los Angeles. He sells his screenplay, and a lot of unexpected things come out of that, as his brother Lee (Manny Fernandes) shows up from out of the desert. “Both plays touch on duality,” Murray said. “May is one thing to herself and something different to Eddie. They are one thing and then they are another, split down the middle; they are two halves. The plays work on many levels. In ‘True West,’ the brothers seem to be split between someone who’s trying to make it on the

Hollywood scene, and the other who is antisocial and more of a wild, visceral old west-type. There’s two different energies fighting each other and each one wants to be the other one.” The plays fall under what Shepard fans call his family plays and Murray said he finds them very thought provoking. “They get you thinking,” Murray said. “We think we know who we are. Shepard wants to find out what happens when you strip that away. Who are you really underneath? Shepard doesn’t necessarily like to answer a lot of questions. He likes to leave things a bit unresolved. He puts his characters into these very intense

situations and lets you figure out how they got there and what’s going to happen next. “There’s an old man in ‘Fool for Love’ who just sits on the stage in a mysterious way and we eventually find out he’s a big part of the story. He’s an essential character in a lot of Shepard’s plays. His own father was a very remote World War II fighter pilot who was disconnected, disillusioned and an alcoholic with violent tendencies. That character shows up in a lot in his family plays. In ‘Fool for Love’ he’s an offstage character; in ‘True West,’ he’s a big influence on the two brothers. Yet when we talk about the old man in each, it’s as

if that father character was cut from the same cloth.” Taking on plays in repertory is not new for Murray, but still a big challenge. He stays focused by finding the truth and what’s real and exciting about each. “These plays are for theatre lovers and junkies of American classics,” he said. “Both are written by one of America’s iconic playwrights. They are for people who want to feel like they had an opportunity to see something after which they have something to say. There a lot of surprises and twists and turns, if one has not seen them. If they have, there’s something about watching a great play and actors who have a different interpretation to bring to a script. This particular cast is extremely good and experienced with Shepard’s work.” u n IF YOU GO: “True West” and “Fool for Love” are on stage through Nov. 2 at Cygnet Theatre Company, Old Town Stage, 4040 Twiggs St., San Diego.

6 common Myths about Varicose Veins Varicose and spider veins are extremely common, affecting up to 50% of women and 30% of men. Unfortunately, however, most people are not properly educated about the causes, treatments and potential dangers of chronic venous disease. Here are six of the most common misconceptions about varicose veins. Myth 1: Varicose or spider veins will always re-occur, even after being treated. This is a very common myth and stems from prior inadequate care. In fact, poor treatment methods in the past have actually caused

the recurrence of varicose veins. Now, however, with the birth of Board Certification and improving technology, veins successfully treated by a qualified physician will see a recurrence rate of less than 5-10%. Myth 2: Women should wait until they are finished with all pregnancies before treating varicose and spider veins. Again, this myth comes from insufficient treatment in the past. New treatments, however, are safe, painless, and more than 98% of the time, lead to permanent resolution. It is ideal if obstetric physicians send their patients for venous insufficiency evaluation prior to pregnancy. This could prevent some of the pain and discomfort that often comes with varicose veins during pregnancy. Myth 3: Since the treatment of varicose veins is purely cosmetic, if there isn’t any pain then there is no reason, other than looks, to seek treatment. Not only is this untrue, but the neglect of varicose veins can be very dangerous to the

patient’s health. Due to its insidious nature, chronic venous hypertension is progressively destructive and should be treated as soon as possible to prevent further pain and damage. Myth 4: Since the repair of varicose veins is considered cosmetic, insurance does not cover the treatment. While the treatment of spider issues is often considered cosmetic, the treatment of varicose veins is not a cosmetic issue, and is almost always covered by insurance. In fact, the initial diagnostic evaluation for venous disease is also covered at least 90% of the time. Similar to dental cavities, the earlier venous hypertension is treated, the more successful it is and therefore, the more cost effective it is for insurance companies. Myth 5: “Vein-stripping” is the best way to treat varicose veins. This out-dated treatment is invasive, requires anesthesia, and not only works less than half the time, but often makes matters worse. Ultrasound-foam sclerotherapy is over 98%

effective. It is also virtually painless, carries little to no side effects, and is done in an out-patient setting where the patient is able to drive away and continue with their daily life. Myth 6: Varicose veins are a sign of aging and only occur in older adults. This myth is generally perpetuated because in older adults the disease is more advanced and has had longer to make its symptoms known. But the reality is that the primary cause of the disease is hereditary. In fact, this makes up 80% of cases. It is not uncommon to find varicose veins in young adults and teenagers. At the San Diego Vein Institute, we take pride in making sure each patient is treated with the care and attention they deserve. That is why every aspect of treatment at SDVI is always performed by a trained doctor, specializing in venous disease. If you want to discuss vein treatment further or want to make an appointment, please contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

the sale of this property, you may call (858) 505-9500. Information about postponement that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.
