By Ashley Mackin The Rotary Club of La Jolla’s motto is “service above self” and at its Sept. 30 meeting at La Valencia Hotel, San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman explained why she believes the concept also applies to America’s Finest. “This badge we wear is not just a piece of polished metal,” she told the group, “it is our symbol of service above self. It is our symbol of honesty, integrity, dedication, Shelley distinction, personal Zimmerman courage, professionalism and the oath we took to protect and serve.” See Police Chief, A5

Both business owners and residents clearly understand the importance of this effort.

Bill Kellogg named 2014 ‘Good Scout of the Year’ by Torrey Pines Boy Scouts n Tickets on sale for awards night benefit By Ashley Mackin La Jolla resident and La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club President Bill Kellogg is this year’s Good Scout Award recipient, to be honored for his philanthropic contributions at a fundraising dinner, 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15 at The Marine Room restaurant, 2000 Spindrift Drive in La Jolla Shores. The award is presented annually by the Torrey Pines District of Boy Scouts of America, San Diego. Although never a Boy Scout himself, Kellogg’s community service and leadership make him a perfect candidate for the honor, said Laura Scheid, Boy Scouts’ Torrey Pines District executive. “We try to recognize exceptional people whose standards with how they live their lives are consistent with those of the Scouts,” she said. “In the case of Bill Kellogg, he was recommended because he represents our youth development goals and who we want our boys and girls to become, which is outstanding members of their community.” Scheid applauded Kellogg’s civic involvement as Chairman/CEO of the
2014 Good Scout of the Year Bill Kellogg Courtesy Mount Soledad Memorial Association (a position he held for more than 25 years), chair of La Jolla Shores Association, and his longtime support of youth tennis programs at the Barnes Tennis Center. “He’s exactly the type of person we like to highlight on behalf of Boy Scouts,” she said. “He represents everything we are trying to do with our program and he has the type of leadership we try to develop in our youth — he knows who he is and what he can do.” She also took note of the Kellogg
family lineage in La Jolla — operating the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club for four generations. The Kellogg family also manages The Marine Room. At the awards event, a 6 p.m. reception will precede the 7 p.m. dinner that includes speakers and a flag ceremony. The presenters include Rayph Cosford, an Eagle Scout with La Jolla’s Troop 506, who will share Scouting experiences; former San Diego City Manager Jack McGrory; and San Diego District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner. “We’ll have a full house,” Scheid joked. Of the upcoming event, Kellogg told La Jolla Light, “This is an unexpected, but fun, thing to have happened. But for me, the greater opportunity is to do something for Boy Scouts.” The evening doubles as a fundraiser for Scout camps and programs, he said. “I think we’ll be able to contribute a nice sum of money to the Scouts at the end of the night.” Kellogg added, “There’s going to be a lot of wonderful people in attendance, the venue couldn’t be better and I think it’s going to be a lovely evening.” Gala tickets available from $150 at TorreyPinesBoyScouts.weebly.com u
City seeks residents for Citizens Review Board
S
an Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer is seeking citizens interested in serving on the 23-member Citizens’ Review Board on Police Practices (CRB). The CRB is responsible for reviewing serious citizen complaints against San Diego police officers, officerinvolved shootings, and in-custody deaths. CRB’s role is to ensure the investigation and findings are accurate, thorough and objective. CRB reviews the administration of discipline in cases where the officer has been found to have disobeyed proper policy and procedure. The CRB makes policy and procedure recommendations to the Chief of Police. To see an informational video regarding the work of the CRB, visit sandiego.gov/citizensreviewboard and watch the featured video: “About CRB.” The time commitment is extensive — about 20 hours per month and includes case review, report writing, regular monthly meetings and continuing education. Applicants must undergo a background check. Prospective members are selected by the mayor and undergo training in preparation to serve. Board members are then appointed by the mayor from the pool of prospective members when vacancies occur. Board members may serve up to eight, one-year terms and serve at the pleasure of the mayor. Those interested may provide a letter of interest and résumé to the Mayor’s Director of Appointments or to Danell Scarborough, executive director of the Citizens’ Review Board, by e-mail: dscarborough@sandiego.gov and visit sandiego.gov/citizensreviewboard for additional information. u

added, waving her arms as if throwing statistics out the window. When she reminded Rotarians that she is an Ohio State University graduate — an audience member booed, to which she replied, “It’s OK, not everyone can get into Ohio State.” Zimmerman then recalled first traveling to San Diego in 1980 to attend a football game with her boyfriend (while a junior). “We rented a car and came down (from Los Angeles) to go to the zoo. I had no idea places like (San Diego) existed. I made a decision then and there I had shoveled my last driveway,” she said. After graduation, Zimmerman returned and made her way up the ranks of the San Diego Police Department to her current post. Joking that she could share police stories for hours, Rotary Club president Russell King said he was hesitant to “cut her off” because “most of our speakers do not carry guns.” The Rotary Club supports the San Diego Police Foundation, which provides trauma kits and K9 police dogs to the department. Rotary and San Diego Police Foundation board member Charles Hartford said the foundation exists “to support the men and women who keep us safe in San Diego. I think few San Diegans recognize that virtually every dog (in the K-9 police unit) that helps fight and stop crime is privately funded. That partnership to support our men and women in blue is something we take great pride in doing.” n The Rotary Club of La Jolla meets noon Tuesdays at the La Valencia Hotel, 1132 Prospect St. Lunch is $30. More information at RotaryClubOfLaJolla.com
Sometimes using humor to convey her point, Zimmerman addressed what she referred to as a sense of decreasing public satisfaction in San Diego police officers, her efforts as chief thus far, and her plans for the department moving forward. “We have had a few officers over the years who have made the terrible decision to discredit our badge and dishonor our noble profession. I, as chief, and we, as a department, are not going to tolerate that,” she said, adding that in her first week as chief, she sat down with division captains and discussed the department’s code of ethics. “I’ve instilled a culture of excellence in our police and we will demand that culture of ourselves,” she said. She also implemented an employee development and training program to bring newer officers up to speed. “We are in a huge rebuilding mode right now,” she said. “I have 400 officers who are eligible to retire. On the other side, I have more than half my officers who work patrol, who have six years or fewer in our police department … so we are either really experienced or really inexperienced.” Zimmerman said her department may receive 1,000 job applicants, though not all are qualified for the law enforcement positons they seek. When she asked the Rotarians whether they could recall the words written on the doors of San Diego police cars, she wasn’t talking about “To protect and serve.” “It says ‘America’s Finest,’ ” she said. “It doesn’t say San Diego’s Finest, it says America’s
Rotary and San Diego Police Foundation board member Charles Hartford explains the Foundation’s role. Ashley Mackin

Finest and that is what you are going to get from me as chief of this department.” One way she sees that happening, and something that “could not come fast enough” is outfitting officers with body cameras to document all encounters. The Northern Division, which includes La Jolla, is the next division to start using them, based on its size and the fact that its officers cover many San Diego beaches. “The goal is to have every patrol officer wear a body camera by the end of next year and I am a huge proponent of that,” she said.
Another way is to have police engage in conversations with residents. “I like to drive around in my black Chief of Police car,” she said, “First of all, because it’s cool, but also because I find the community likes that the Chief of Police is driving around.” She said it also affords her a chance to speak with citizens one on one. “Crime statistics are only one measurement of how safe an area is. What I want to know is, ‘Do you feel safe in your neighborhood?’ Because if the answer is ‘No,’ it doesn’t matter what the statistic says,” Zimmerman

La Jolla Community Planning Association From Planning Association, A1
Architect Richard Gombes addresses criticism about the bulk and scale of his residential project in La Jolla Shores. differently on the matter, it was noted, with the current city attorney not recognizing a FAR limit in the Shores). Defending the bulk and scale of his project, architect Richard Gombes noted that it has a generous setback from La Jolla Shores Drive and slopes down 3.5 feet westward from the sidewalk, diminishing the impact of the project from the street. Gombes also said the project has almost twice as much landscaping as is required by the city. A covered, outdoor open area at the rear

of the project pushed its FAR by .15 to .89, Gombes said. However, LJCPA trustee Rob Whittemore said that without the covered space, the project would still have a .74 FAR, which is well above the citywide .60 limit. “You’re still talking about a home that’s approximately 25 percent larger than would be allowed in other areas of the city that are controlled by citywide floor-area ratios,” Whittemore said, adding, “from the street there isn’t much of a difference from the
houses around it — I concede that.” Gombes said that in conducting a citymandated survey of homes within a 300-foot radius of the project, he found that at least 20 of the 50 homes assessed had FARs of .74, while five had FARs of .90 or more. LJCPA trustee Janie Emerson, a member of the PRC who voted against the project, said this section of La Jolla Shores Drive where the McClelland family owns two homes (including the project site) contains “huge houses” that do not conform to the
s
Permit Review Committee (PRC) voted 4-3 to recommend the city approve the project, although LJCPA trustee Dan Courtney felt the vote was too close, and pulled the project from the LJCPA’s September consent agenda for further discussion. The applicant is seeking coastal and site development permits to demolish an existing home and rebuild a 4,060-squarefoot, two-story house on a 5,500-square-foot lot — resulting in a .89 floor-area ratio. A FAR, defined as the ratio of the size of a structure to the size of its lot, is used to manage density in residential and commercial development. La Jolla Shores does not technically have floor-area ratio limits — something some Shores’ residents are pushing to change by updating the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance (or blueprint for design). Many Shores and La Jolla committee members feel that in the absence of this mandate the citywide FAR limit of .60 should apply (various city attorneys have weighed in

character of the neighborhood and probably shouldn’t have been approved by the city. She said to the left of the project site the majority of the houses are single-story. “Some of them have been remodeled and the people have kept them (single-story) because they want to keep the character of the neighborhood,” she said. PRC Chair Phil Merten, who voted in favor of the project to break in initial 3-3 tie, said he did so out of fairness to the applicant. “The existing houses on this block of La Jolla Shores Drive are larger than we’d like to see, but the horse was let out of the barn a number of years ago,” Merten said, noting that in many ways the proposed home has more articulation than those around it, helping to soften its impact. LJCPA trustee Fran Zimmerman lauded the project’s design, though asked if it was possible to scale the home back to .6 FAR, which Gombes said was not workable. A motion by LJCPA trustee Nancy Manno to approve the project (seconded by Zimmerman) failed by a vote of 7-8. A second motion to deny the project was made by Whittemore and seconded by trustee Bob Collins, which resulted in a vote of 8-7. Vice-president Bob Steck, who presided over the meeting in the absence of LJCPA president Joe LaCava, created an 8-8 tie by voting in favor of the project. Thus, no action was taken on the project in view of the city. n Whale Watch … and wait: A controversial residential development
Project representative John Krizan maintains his clients’ project on Skylark Drive, voted down in September by LJCPA’s Development Permit Review (DPR) subcommittee, complies with San Diego Municipal Code. As a concession, property owner Antonio Sacido agreed to remove one of two guest quarters proposed for his properties since the DPR’s denial. Photos by Pat Sherman proposed for the Shores, at 8490 Whale Watch Way, could undergo some community appeasing revisions. During the Oct. 2 meeting it was noted that when considering the LJCPA’s appeal of the Whale Watch project to the San Diego Planning Commission, the commissioners were leaning toward denial of the project, though first offered the applicant a chance to redesign the ultra-modern style home by Pritzker Architecture Prize-winner Zaha Hadid. “We went before the planning
commission a week ago and I’m pleased to report that … it looked as though the project was going down in flames by a vote of 4-3 or maybe even 5-2,” LJCPA trustee and PRC Chair Phil Merten said. “It’s seldom that we win one at Planning Commission but this one was particularly important and we seem to be ahead of the game right now.”
In other LJCPA news
trustees voted to deny a two-property proposal and sent it back to its Development Permit Review (DPR) subcommittee for further consideration.

From Planning Association, A9 Since DPR recommended denial of permits, the applicant has removed the planned guest quarters from 911 Skylark Drive. The loss of one unit removes uncertainty regarding a mandate the owner must reside in either the primary residence or the secondary unit (as they could not concurrently live at both properties). Landscape architect and project applicant John Krizan said five of the DPR’s six recommendations cited city municipal code sections that did not apply to this project. DPR members grappled with the issue of drainage and whether the proposed 700-square-foot secondary structures were actually companion units, which could be used as rentals, or guest quarters, which are only meant for short-term visits. Trustee Zimmerman read a letter from Bill Peirce, president of La Jolla Mesa Vista Homeowners Association, where the project is located. It noted that after the Sept. 9 DPR meeting “numerous neighbors” contacted him voicing opposition to the project. “Not one person felt this encroachment on our open canyons would benefit the longstanding character of the community,” Zimmerman read, adding the project would “set a precedent for similar development on La Jolla’s open space canyons.” In the end, trustee Emerson noted the project was not listed correctly on the LJCPA’s agenda, and that she would not be comfortable voting on it. Trustee Alex Outwater made a motion to send the project

Couple abducted, assaulted near UCSD
A
pair of robbers held up a man and woman at gunpoint near UC San Diego early Oct. 5, forced them into their car, then dropped them off a few blocks away. The suspects — who both had their faces covered — initially cruised their silver Subaru past the 22-year-old man and the 20-year-old woman as they were walking in the 9800 block of Genesee Avenue around 2:15 a.m. The Subaru then backed up and stopped alongside them, said San Diego police Officer Robert Heims. One of the suspects got out of the Subaru’s backseat, pointed his gun at the pedestrians and demanded their property, Heims said. The victims handed over their backpacks. The suspect then told them to get in the car or he would shoot them, according to the officer. The victims complied and were driven
about a half-mile away, to the 10100 block of Campus Point Drive. There, the driver stopped and then punched the male victim several times in the face before ordering both out of the car, Heims said. The suspects drove away, but turned around, stopped near the bushes in which the victims were hiding, got out of the Subaru and fired one shot into the air, Heims said. The man and woman said the assailants then sped off. Police described both suspects as Hispanic men in their 20s and 5’9”- to 5’11”-tall with a medium build. One was wearing a white shirt and a black bandana, and the other was only described as having short hair. Police said the robbery and kidnapping was unrelated to a carjacking and robbery on the 805 Freeway not far away (see next report). — City News Service
Carjacking reported in UTC area
A
husband and wife (victims) were on the Nobel Drive off ramp at I-805 when another vehicle collided into the couple’s vehicle, causing minor damage. The couple stopped to exchange information, when three men forced them from their vehicle at gunpoint. The men took the couple’s cell phones, wallet, purse and then left in their vehicle. San Diego Police later found the vehicle
unoccupied at 4200 48th St. Suspect No. 1 (who brandished a handgun) is described as a Hispanic male in his 20s, who was wearing a bandana over his face and dark clothing. Suspect No. 2 is described as a Hispanic male in his 20s wearing a bandana, and suspect No. 3 as 25-30 years old with black, short hair and a medium build.

All Stressed Out?
Doctor has coping tips at Community Center lecture By Ashley Mackin oes anyone here ever have stress?” Dr. Mimi Guarneri asked a chuckling crowd at La Jolla Community Center, Sept. 23, raising her own hand. For her presentation, “Transforming Stress and Creating Balance,” the integrative medicine cardiologist and team member at Pacific Pearl in La Jolla spoke about pressure, its impact on the body and how to reduce it in daily life. Her talk was part of the Community Center’s Distinguished Speaker series. Community Center Director Nancy Walters said she knew the topic would strike a chord with members after Guarneri gave a similar presentation earlier this year. “When Mimi spoke at the center in February, she mentioned the various topics she talks to her patients about, and when she mentioned transforming stress and creating balance, everyone went oooh and aaah, so I immediately knew I needed to have her back soon to cover this topic.” Walters also noted Guarneri’s many accolades — board-certified in cardiology, internal medicine, nuclear medicine and holistic medicine; President of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine; and Senior Advisor at Atlantic Health for the Center for Well Being. It turns out, Guarneri said, a lot of stresses

are simply between our ears. “Our attitude is everything,” she said, explaining that the feeling of stress often starts with an initiating event, such as a financial issue or children dating someone the parents don’t like. “The perception of that initiating event could result in a flooding of stress hormones,” she said. “When we are in a stressed state, the body is sending messages from the heart to the brain that tell the brain, ‘we are under stress, we are under attack, produce stress hormones.’ We aren’t using the cortex, which is our rational mind. Ever say something under stress you regret five minutes later? That’s because we aren’t using our rational mind.”

It’s all about, she said, “the lens we are going to see things through.” To prove her point of how different people will see the same situation differently, she showed a video of people in various colored shirts passing a basketball. She asked participants to track how many times the ball was passed based on shirt color. Not only did different numbers come up, but also some people found themselves instead looking at a person walking through the set in an animal suit. Further still, some people thought it was a bear, some thought it was a gorilla and some didn’t see it at all! Guarneri said changing the way we perceive what could be a stressful situation
may have long-term effects on our health. She cited studies that indicate those under stress tend to take longer to heal from minor injuries and ailments, and said she knew someone who had their cancer return after 12 years in remission, during the 2008 recession. Worse still, there are physical manifestations of stress that include brain cell death, impaired memory and learning, osteoporosis, loss of muscle, skin sagging, impacted immune system, and increase of weight around midline. “What does that sound like to you?” she asked. “Aging!” If, despite our best efforts to keep a good attitude, we still find ourselves feeling stressed, Guarneri said coping mechanisms are needed. “No one is spared from life’s ups and downs,” she said. “But what is your stabilizer every time life throws you a curveball or you feel like you can’t cope?” For some, she said, it’s exercise. For others, it’s prayer or meditation. But her suggestion is to attack the problem on all fronts. “Everything is about mind, body, emotions and spirit. It’s not just about the physical body. Ask yourself every day what you did (to support) all these things? Did I eat right? Did I lay off the sugar? Did I meditate? Did I appreciate things in my life and be grateful for them?”

Ocean sunfish Mola mola
I
f you are out boating in local waters, one of the strangest fish you may come across is the ocean sunfish or Mola mola. These gigantic odd-looking fish are the largest bony fish in the world (whale sharks are larger but have a cartilaginous skeleton). An average mola is 6 feet in length, and up to 10 feet vertically; an average one may weigh up to 2,500 pounds! They are roundish in shape and compressed from side to side. Their large triangular fins (one dorsal, one anal, set far back on their body) often look like a shark fins when they are swimming upright in the water. The fish itself looks like a swimming head — there isn’t much body behind their tall fins — just a scalloped tail, which is called the clavus. To swim, molas wave their fins back and forth and steer with their clavus. A few years ago, I found myself snorkeling with three junior molas in the Galapagos Islands, where they seemed to just float up and down in the water column, while keeping curious eyes on us. Most often they are seen at the water’s surface basking on their sides. While lazing
about at the surface, gulls may help pick off parasites (molas typically have a heavy dose of parasites). Molas have large eyes that are set back from their tiny mouths. Strangely they cannot close their mouths, and their teeth are formed into a beak-like structure, as is seen in pufferfish (a relative). This beak helps them break down their gelatinous prey, such as jellyfish and squid. Their predators include sea lions, killer whales and sometimes dolphins. This past summer, the waters off San Diego were especially productive for molas and large groups of juveniles could be seen swimming together. Usually, you may see a solitary mola or you may find a few within a bigger area. They are one of the most productive fishes in the sea, with a mature female producing some 300 million eggs. Perhaps this past year was an especially good recruitment year for molas. Ocean sunfish are vulnerable to being caught in some kinds of fishing nets and may mistake plastic bags floating in the water for jellyfish prey, which is why it’s always a good idea to pick up rogue plastic

Lessons at the Library
Bishop’s student moves the chess club along By Ashley Mackin or the last 10 years, The Bishop’s School sophomore Rachel Hong, 15, has played chess competitively, earning accolades from national organizations. She puts her skills to good use running the La Jolla Chess Club, which meets 1 p.m. Sundays at La Jolla’s Riford Library. Hong is on the U.S. Chess Federation’s list of the top 100 girls under 16 years old (at No. 88), and on the nationally implemented Elo rating score used to rate skill in chess, she has a 1660. Those with 2600 are considered a grandmaster. Head Librarian Shaun Briley said, “Chess playing and libraries go together nicely and we are very pleased to have Rachel and offer this venue as a backdrop to such a thoughtful game.” Hong said she runs the club to meet the community service hours required by Bishop’s, but also enjoys teaching the chess skills she has honed over the years. “I’ve taught a range of kids of all ages and the main thing is you just have to be eager to play,” Hong said. “But it also requires critical thinking and patience — you stare at the board for a long time — so you’ve got to be willing to stick with it.” Those skills can be taught, she said. “The more you play the better you get and patience is something that takes time to develop. A lot of parents send their 5-yearold children to chess competitions because chess players develop patience, thinking skills and sportsmanship — it encompasses everything.” Having played chess for as long as she has (since age 5) Hong has developed the ability to predict moves and play accordingly. “You have to calculate and see moves

hortly before noon, Tuesday, Oct. 7 a female pedestrian was hit by a car backing up in the 7700 block of Girard Avenue in La Jolla. The woman, in her 30s or 40s, died en route to the hospital, police said. Police closed a wide section of the street where the accident occurred and where a pool of the victim’s blood could be seen. A large dent was visible in the rear passenger side of a silver Ford sedan involved in the incident. La Jolla Light will provide more information on this developing story at lajollalight.com and in next week’s edition. u — Pat Sherman

in advance; you have to see the game five moves in and visualize how the board will change. I have friends who can play a game without a board. They just say the moves and can visualize it,” she said. She also uses her intense focus and ability to think ahead as a member of the varsity soccer team at Bishop’s. Hong said the kids who come to Chess Club, which she took over from another Bishop’s student last year, are 5 to 12 years old, but all are welcome. “My club is really just for beginners. We’ve had adults come in, but it would get awkward when they would lose to a kid and become embarrassed.” Along with running the club, Hong, the daughter of Jin Hong and Yuanyuan Zhou of Carmel Valley, plans to compete in chess tourneys for as long as she can. u n La Jolla Riford Library is at 7555 Draper Ave. For more information on the chess club, call (858) 552-1657.

Bishop’s School graduate Elliott Kennerson is working on his second installment of the series ‘Animal R&R’ for KPBS television. It follows the efforts of two local organizations that rescue and rehabilitate injured wildlife.

Reserve that was on the cusp of what geographers refer to as an “urban edge”— the boundary where wildlife and human development converge. Scampering or soaring across the “hard urban edge” of his family’s home were deer,
raccoons, rabbits, hawks and a family of foxes that settled into his backyard, eventually prompting a call to animal control. One day, Kennerson returned from school to learn that the foxes had been exterminated, which he said had a profound
impact on him. Too often urban edges create what Kennerson refers to as a “tripwire” for animals, causing them to be injured or in need of human assistance to extricate themselves from precarious, unnatural situations.

The design center, located at 7844 Herschel Ave. in La Jolla, will allow clients to realize their dream space with over 500 high-end product lines including tile, granite, turf, windows, cabinetry, furniture, audio and flooring. Interior design and architecture services for both new home construction and renovations will be offered.

Ladelsky also said that La Jolla was the perfect place to open the design center because it is a place where culture and art thrive. “The community is so open to new and innovative art and design concepts, and we felt that we could serve our clients well in this environment,” she said. “La Jolla provides a perfect backdrop for our clients to gather inspiration from, and can work with our designers to create their dream living spaces.” At the grand opening event guests will be invited to view some examples of products and services while enjoying appetizers and drinks.

Fund for Animals veterinary technician Gina Taylor shows where damaged feathers were removed from the wing of a red-tailed hawk injured at a Chula Vista trolley station. KPBS aired the first installment of the hawk’s story in ‘Animal R&R,’ which will be continued in another installment. To that end, Kennerson hopes a documentary he is producing will help others consider how to coexist harmoniously with local wildlife, as well as options available to people impacted by animals that breach the urban edge. He is currently wrapping up production on the second in his series for KPBS titled, “Animal R&R” (or “rest and rehabilitation”), to air sometime next spring. The first in the series aired in May. “Animal R&R” focuses on the work of two local nonprofit organizations, Project

hen Ron and Marg Bowers opened Bowers Jewelers on La Jolla’s Wall Street in 1945, they could never have known that their business would later become one of the longest standing retail landmarks in the community. But 65 years and a few blocks later in the heart of Girard Avenue, Bowers Jewelers, under the ownership of Larry and Sheila Combe is a thriving La Jolla business. Bowers’ history is one of family tradition and loyalty. Larry’s mother Adele once worked as a designer for the store. Larry later joined her as an employee until he purchased the business in 1981. Since then, he and wife Sheila of 39 years, have been the go-to for La Jollans when it comes to fine jewelry, unique trinkets, jewelry repairs and exceptional, personalized service. With an unparalleled selection, fine quality and real personality, the
family feel at Bowers is contagious. Patrons are encouraged to pull up a chair while they marvel at the many unique necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and time pieces on the showroom floor. The folks at Bowers remain true to their customers and work tirelessly to provide quality products at fair prices. Boasting a highly qualified, passionate and friendly staff, Bowers keeps the tradition of old La Jolla alive and well.

From Animal R&R, A19 residential neighborhood near Boron, Calif. (on the western edge of the Mojave Desert). Kennerson said the Fund For Animals facility, the opening of which is documented in “Animal R&R,” has become a destination for larger animals from across the state in need of rehabilitation. “It’s the first time there’s been a bear cub rehabilitated in San Diego County,” Kennerson said, noting one of the challenges when rehabilitating wildlife is not to let the animals bond with humans. “That’s often how they run into trouble in the first place — they don’t have perhaps enough of a fear and a respect of humans,” he said. Linda Vista-based Project Wildlife focuses on smaller animals, such as the red-tailed hawk, screech owls, bats and osprey on the mend in the forthcoming installment of “Animal R&R.” Beth Ugoretz, Project Wildlife’s executive director, said the “Animal R&R” series is a great way to highlight the work of its volunteer rehabilitators. “We appreciate the opportunity to be able to show the public what animal rehabilitation is about,” she said. “They typically don’t get the opportunity to see that because we need to maintain the wildness of our animals by treating them in a very hands-off way. We have to make sure that they maintain their natural fear of humans for their own protection and that they maintain their wild behaviors so that they can feed and protect themselves when

The winged mammals often get trapped in people’s attics and eaves. Drought conditions have also affected their food and water supply, she said. “People don’t often see bats here and don’t think of them as part of our landscape but they are critically important to our ecosystem,” she said. “They eat so many insects; they are a natural population control that does not require pesticides or anything unnatural.” Kennerson said he hopes people come away from “Animal R&R” with a sense of
compassion for the diversity of wildlife within their own backyards. “San Diego is one of the most biodiverse areas in the nation,” Kennerson said. “Most of the species that are on the endangered list in San Diego are not spectacular — you know, they’re not koala bears and pandas; they’re fairy shrimp and small birds and a lot of plants. A lot of the nature that’s precious that we (intersect with) in our daily lives is actually kind of invisible. I want people to understand that that’s precious too and deserves respect and not to be wiped out.” As with the first installment, the second “Animal R&R” series will be narrated by local wildlife advocate and Zoological Society of

Spotlight on Local
Robin’s Nest focuses on therapeutic massage, yoga training
Robin Oleata, owner of The Robin’s Nest, specializes in therapeutic massage and Hatha yoga instruction. Courtesy
By Marti Gacioch After more than a decade of working as a massage therapist and hatha yoga instructor, Robin Oleata’s focus is on the healing arts with The Robin’s Nest. Born and raised in La Jolla, Oleata earned a degree in Spanish and Portuguese at UC Berkeley before training to be a holistic health practitioner at International Professional School of Bodywork. A few years later, she earned her yoga teaching credential at Shivananda Yoga Farm in northern California. While Oleata does a variety of massage work, she specializes in geriatric massage and massage for people with special needs. “Geriatric massage is beneficial because there is inherent loneliness in growing older and massage provides physical contact,” Oleata said. She added that as a person ages and becomes less active, massage can benefit their circulatory system. “When we walk, the muscle contractions push the lymph (fluid) through our
system, and massage can manually help that circulation happen if an older person becomes inactive,” she said. Aged skin also benefits from massage. “As we age, the skin becomes more delicate and dry and using massage oil helps keep it hydrated,” Oleata said. She also specializes in teaching one-onone yoga. “Many of my clients are going through a transition in life, such as dealing with cancer or recovery from a major accident, and may not feel comfortable doing yoga in a regular classroom because they’re extremely overweight or they’ve had a major surgery or been in hospice care,” Oleata said.
She said she finds that being able to bring both massage and yoga training into her healing practice helps her understand what her clients are going through and helps her accommodate their needs and work within the boundaries of what’s appropriate for them. “Sometimes I see clients and know that they’re not having their best day, but by the time I leave them, their cheeks are rosy and they’re smiling and have a different demeanor,” Oleata said. “It’s extremely satisfying to have the ability to make people’s lives more pleasant in the day to day and see them feel good.” u n While Robin Oleata has had various offices in La Jolla and San Diego, she is currently doing only out-call massage.

n Aug. 30, two people 5,000miles apart simultaneously tied to became the 5,000th person to create their own fragrance at Tijon Fragrance Lab & Boutique. Fabrizia Arriola of La Jolla made her own perfume at the Tijon fragrance lab in La Jolla while Nile Lee from Washington, D.C. created her fragrance at Tijon’s headquarters on the French Caribbean island of St. Martin. Arriola called her lovely perfume “Tally 101,” which included notes of mango, lime, lemon, papaya, freesia, verbena and amber. At Tijon, one dons a lab coat and then chooses from three unique, interactive and memorable experiences ranging from 15 minutes to three hours in creating their custom fragrance. From beginners to those with a “nose” for fragrances, anyone can create their own fragrance at Tijon’s onsite laboratory. They choose from more than 300 oils in blending their custom formula.

Response to comments regarding Children’s Pool, seal waste Guest Commentary By Ken Hunrichs President, Friends of the Children’s Pool
M
y recent comments in La Jolla Light about the claim of an enhanced ecosystem from seal waste seems to have drawn some surprising reactions. Who would have thought I could be “outed” for my support of restoring the Children’s Pool to the rightful owners and for being president of the Friends of the Children’s Pool (FoCP)? Both are true statements but not relevant to the tongue-in-cheek comments about hunting lobster on the beach at Children’s Pool. I mentioned this to call attention to the lack of maintenance of the Children’s Pool Beach by the City of San Diego, causing the ongoing county health department advisory posted for years at Children’s Pool. My comments were not intended to carry the weight of a peerreviewed scientific study, although some thought that was required. I thought my observations would bring attention to the causes of degradation of our environment in La Jolla and would create concern for a solution. I hope it will be given a higher priority among our city leaders. Causes of this decline may include impacts from human activity, but is the explosion of the pinniped population just a coincidence? What is certain is that maintaining conditions hazardous to human health is never the right direction for proper coastal management in La Jolla or anywhere. The animal-waste-filled Children’s Pool and the smelly bluffs around the La Jolla Cove are failures in coastal management. A “hands off” approach is not appropriate in a densely populated urban environment. Neither is knowingly causing even greater ecological imbalance by closing off sections of the coast. Friends of the Children’s Pool will continue to advocate for the restoration of the Children’s Pool for its intended use as a park, playground and bathing pool for children, and to honor the donation of the seawall by Ellen Browning Scripps. Fishing rights and convenient access were protected in the state land grant also known as the “Children’s Pool Trust.” The Trust reflects fishing rights protected in our State Constitution for fishing in our coastal waters. Miss Scripps built the Children’s Pool for
La Jolla’s Casa Beach is also known as the Children’s Pool and has been occupied primarily by seals for years. “those handicapped in life’s game” to great acclaim and gratitude from the citizens of San Diego. It was dedicated as parkland in 1931 by actions of the State Legislature. Those using wheelchairs and those who need a more protected area to do water therapy would find the beauty of Children’s Pool to be a wonderful boost to their recovery that cannot be matched in a concrete swimming pool or a swim in the bay. Sadly, officials from the City of San Diego are currently opposing an ADA-access lawsuit to maintain their deliberate exclusion of those unable to navigate the steep stairs to the beach at Children’s Pool. A beach access ramp, built in the 1940s, already exists at the Children’s Pool. Although it does not meet current ADA standards, it was used for many years by those in wheelchairs with assistance. This same ramp was the primary access to the beach for all beach-goers, including children in strollers, and those pulled to the beach in wagons. It is the most convenient way to the beach. It was never an issue until the city chose to bar access to that ramp with a locked gate and allowed that ramp to disintegrate. It is shame this issue has become so
controversial. The City of San Diego is responsible for proper management but has let this unique coastal resource go to near ruin with crumbling stairs and a closed public access ramp. The beach biohazard warning signs confirm the problem already detected by your sense of smell. The Pool is scheduled to be closed and become a seal reserve from December to May every year in violation of the Children’s Pool Trust, the California Constitution and San Diego City Charter, Section 55. Wisely, a condition of the California Coastal Commission’s five-year closure permit will be for the city to figure out a way to clean up the mess at the Pool for the seven months of human use and provide access for everyone. It all could have been avoided by following existing laws and using just a bit of common sense.

We must weigh the cost of opening the sluices at Children’s Pool There is some talk about opening the sluices (vents) in the sea wall at the Casa Beach. The purpose of this would be to restore Children’s Pool for children as designed in 1931. Until about mid-century, local children needed a safe place to learn to swim. With the thousands of swimming pools that La Jolla has today, that need has passed. Children’s Pool is now serving mostly other communities, snorkeling and other water-related businesses. The cost of opening the sluices might be absolutely prohibitive. Nobody knows how deep down the vents are located. A qualified architect familiar with the current changes of
wave action would have to study how waves might differ now from a century ago. The waves shift the sand south in the winter and north in the summer. In the 1930s, the strength of the waves coming through the vents plus the backwash was so powerful as to be dangerous. Before 1931, the seal population favored the beach by Seal Rock. That’s how the rock got its name. Therefore, seals were not a problem. When the wall was built, however, the smart seals naturally moved over to the protected area. The opening of the sluices would completely destroy the pupping nursery and the seals’ haul-out area. The newborn seal pups cannot
survive in the water until they are about two days old. Seals need dry land to rest during the day. The rush of the waves through the vents would be detrimental to the seal population. Last but not least, the wall may be so old and weak as to require complete reconstruction. The old wall would collapse. Just who would benefit from such a renovation? Beachgoers from other communities and tourists would be grateful. Snorkeling and other water-related businesses would profit greatly. La Jolla property taxes would go up! u Patricia Weber La Jolla

LA JOLLA LIGHT - October 9, 2014 - Page A27
Our READERS WRITE Readers commented on La Jolla Light’s Oct. 2 ‘Tarnishing Our Jewel’ column with this image of La Jolla Shores beach covered with litter and debris from overflowing trash cans and possible culprit seagulls in search of food. Light reader Caroline Chamales took this photo 8 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 21.
More trash bins needed
Seagulls are to blame
Please have the city place more large trash bins on the beach (near the street) for easy city removal. More are drastically needed. It is not uncommon for the jewel-like ocean beach along Marine Street and Dunemere Drive to be fully scattered with plastic, paper and broken glass — all of which gets lifted by the ocean and carried out. Certainly we all want a beautiful scenic experience and hope the fish we feed off of are not consuming carcinogenic plastic waste we have left behind. Andra Welsh La Jolla
n I have seen the seagulls myself picking apart the trash at La Jolla Shores. As soon as everyone leaves the beach, they go to work. These winged rats are truly a nuisance. Gail Powell n That’s the seagulls pulling everything out of the trash cans. They do it on Girard Avenue, too, but Village store owners clean it all up when they arrive and then the city trash trucks come by and empty the cans. James Russell
Teachers and educators provide diverse perspectives One wonders upon what the letter writer in the Oct. 2 La Jolla Light bases her opinion that one of the major problems in education today is that “administrators and many faculty members teach intolerance and exclusion based on their personal opinions and beliefs.” This has not been my experience and I don’t believe it is true. Further, a student who completes high school has had, by my count, approximately 25 teachers along the way. The student has thus been exposed to the opinions and beliefs of 25 different teachers and has probably therefore figured out that adults have opinions, that they don’t all agree, and that the student needs to figure out for him/herself what he/she thinks about the world. Actually, the more different opinions the student has heard, the more likely it is that he or she will be able to do that intelligently. Candace Carroll La Jolla
Children of all ages can develop parasitic diseases such as giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis from swallowing contaminated water during swimming (cdc.gov/parasites/children.html) A USA Today article, “Dog Waste Poses Threat To Water,” states, “... dog waste ... It’s an environmental pollutant. From mutt to blue-blooded champion, all dogs harbor socalled coliform bacteria, which live in the gut. The group includes E. coli, a bacterium that can cause disease, and fecal coliform bacteria, which spread through feces. Dogs also carry salmonella and giardia.” (usatoday.com/news/ science/2002-06-07-dog-usat.htm) Kaia Gantzel La Jolla
Beaches would be lost if dogs allowed off-leash
n I would like to ask that the La Jolla Light reconsider its coverage of the off-leash dog proposal. From all accounts (I believe) your coverage has been biased in favor. I would like to see a new poll established on your website so that those of us who are opposed can vote. I don’t know what you are thinking. The proposed area (for dogs) is a densely populated residential area with very little parking, no facilities, the most minimal supervision by the city and lifeguards, and totally inappropriate for this purpose. Tourmaline Beach or La Jolla Shores are much better suited (to an off-leash dog beach). Holly McMillan La Jolla
n We risk losing our most beautiful swimmable beaches if they become off-leash dog areas. Why does California state law 7985.1 not allow animals on any beach designated for swimming or where lifeguards are present? Because popular swimming beaches are not compatible with off-leash dog areas. How much dog poop is needed to contaminate a swimming area? Who will link children’s illnesses to their swim in the ocean? Once a beach is designated “off-leash,” who will pay for the study to test if the water is polluted? We must cherish our remaining clean beaches and choose a different location for dogs to be off-leash. The off-leash proposal circulating in La Jolla targets beaches from Big Rock (Camino de la Costa) to Horseshoe Beach (220 Coast Blvd.).
Editor’s Note: The La Jolla Light has never taken a position on whether or not there should be early morning hours for dogs to be leash-free on La Jolla beaches. Our news stories on the campaign over the past few weeks were unbiased and presented both the pros and cons of the issue, as well as the personalities for and against the proposal.

Rancor over La Jolla Christmas Parade name divides us I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood in New York and always looked forward to celebrating Hanukkah. But every year my family would go for an evening drive to see the festive Christmas lights in the town next to ours. When I started junior high school, my group of friends became more diverse. On Christmas Eve, my Italian and Irish friends invited me to attend midnight Mass just so I could be with them. Although I might not have agreed with all that was preached, I did enjoy the ritual and pageantry. When I was in high school, my best friend’s mom (an Irish Catholic married to a Russian Jew), hung up a stocking with my name on it on the fireplace mantel. She always referred to herself as my second mom. When my daughter was young, I took her to the La Jolla Christmas Parade just for the festivity. I dearly love and honor my religion, but I also find a place for the holidays and traditions of others. The acrimony over the name of the parade divides us and I truly wish that we could find a compromise or let it be and move on. I fear that fights such as these stoke anti-semitism, which is growing at a horrific rate throughout the world. I’m sure that others find the tone of some of the letters against a name change alarming, and I would like to see our community get past this issue. u Jeri Feldman La Jolla

Low tides expected in La Jolla Oct. 8-9 n Coastkeeper offers online guide to responsible tidepooling
T
his week, La Jolla tides will be lower than they’ve been in six months, and we don’t have to tell you how unseasonably hot it’s been. Snorkeling and tidepooling will lure thousands to La Jolla Shores and the Cove. Unfortunately, tidepooling and snorkeling nature lovers, especially in a crowd, can have a negative impact on our coastal ecosystems. But we can protect and preserve the ecological gems of La Jolla while still exploring their beauty. San Diego Coastkeeper published a five-part guide to tidepooling and snorkeling with tips on getting the most enjoyment out of your experience while protecting coastal wildlife. The tips can be viewed at sdcoastkeeper.org or directly at bit.ly/lajollatidepools Common sense will guide most well-
intentioned beachgoers toward good ecological etiquette, but some of our behaviors can have less obvious negative effects on La Jolla’s coastal ecosystems. Read San Diego Coastkeeper’s guide to learn about: n The types of sunscreen that can poison our water n The effect of feeding animals and overturning rocks n What can happen when pets and wildlife meet We also include information about what you can expect to see snorkeling and tidepooling and information on the dwellings of different plants and animals and how they fit into the local food chain. Happy tidepooling and snorkeling this week. The lowest tides will be Wednesday, Oct. 8 and Thursday, Oct. 9 around 4 p.m. u Megan Baehrens Executive Director, San Diego Coastkeeper

FROM HANDLING Stress, A12
babies and pets are always a good choice.
n De-stressing the body In addition to physical exercise, Guarneri suggests a breathing exercise to calm the nerves and steady the heart rate during times of stress: take a few rounds of breath, with inhales and exhales each lasting five seconds. Eventually, move to shorter inhales and longer exhales, ideally breathing in for four seconds and out for seven. The latter has a direct effect on the nerves. To demonstrate, she took Community Center member Bob Scott and clipped a biofeedback sensor to his ear. Nervous in front of all the people, he had an off-pattern heart rate. After a minute or two of breathing five seconds in and five seconds out, his heart rate stabilized to a balanced more healthy, rhythm.
n De-stressing the emotional state An attitude of gratitude is a practice she encourages from all her patients. “I had one come to me and say, ‘Today is a good day, I’m vertical!’ ” she joked, adding that volunteering is a good way to feel happy, and some people experience “helper’s high.” Having a supportive social circle is also something to be grateful for, she said, and that can include family, friends and colleagues. “I always say the ‘i’ in illness stands for isolation and the ‘we’ in wellness is we … having a tribe is something that gives you a reason to get up in the morning and experience joy.”
n De-stressing the mind As one of many options, Guarneri suggests mantras to help calm the mind. Respecting that each individual person would need to find one that has a calming effect, she said the word mantra literally means, “to free from the mind.” “If you can’t sleep at night, I have people breathe and repeat their mantra in their mind. When your mind jumps from the grocery list to what happened that day, come back to the mantra,” she explained. Other mental exercises include recognizing the negative emotion one might be experiencing — anger, frustration, pain — and shifting thoughts to something that brings happiness or gratitude. She said
n De-stressing the spirit Prayer and meditation, too, can be effective ways to appease the spirit, said Guarneri. Her practice, Pacific Pearl at 6919 La Jolla Blvd., offers free monthly meditation classes to help ease people into the practice. “It’s powerful medicine,” she said. She also recommended practicing forgiveness. “Forgiveness is for you, not for the person you are forgiving,” she said. “Part of one’s mediation can be to picture the offending person and think, ‘I forgive you.’ “That can include ourselves. If you did something you regret, cut the cord and forgive yourself.” u — La Jolla Community Center’s Distinguished Speaker series is on hiatus and resumes in January 2015 with speakers to be announced.

a Jolla Symphony and Chorus (LJS&C) will kick off its 60th Anniversary Season with a Diamond Jubilee! gala Saturday, Oct. 11 at The Westgate Hotel in downtown San Diego. The event will include auctions, a wine raffle, dinner and dancing, and a tribute to educator and piano legend Cecil Lytle. On selecting Lytle as LJS&C’s “Arts Angel 2014,” Music Director Steven Schick acknowledged Lytle’s impact at UC San Diego, in the community and in the concert hall. During his tenure with the music department, Lytle helped establish it on an international level. His years of service as provost of Thurgood Marshall College resulted in student, faculty and curricular diversity, and as a founding member of The Preuss School at UCSD, he was instrumental in developing this nationally recognized, transformative charter school. Lytle is an advocate of contemporary and 19th- and 20th-century music as a piano recitalist and recording artist. Gala tickets for $175 per person are available at LaJollaSymphony.com and (858) 534-4637. The 2014-15 concert season begins the weekend of Nov. 8-9 with Schick conducting Gustav Mahler’s “Symphony No. 5,” and Choral Director David Chase conducting a world premiere by Nathan Davis and librettist Laura Mullen for chorus and four percussionists.

Let Inga Tell You
Whatever it takes
N
La Jolla Cultural Partners
ow that the airlines have become so relentlessly rude and unresponsive to passengers, I almost wish my older son Rory were 11 again. He’d know how to get their attention. I can say with no hesitation whatsoever that Rory was — and is — the most creative (some would say diabolically creative) and unique individual I’ve ever known. Since he’s adopted, I can’t claim credit (or in some cases, blame) for any of it. I aver, however, that Rory (now an adult) had psychological warfare skills from which the armed forces could benefit. Send Rory to his room for a time-out and he’d open up both his windows, pound on his bed with a tennis racket, and wail loud enough to be heard all the way down the block, “Please stop beating me, Mommy!” Or worse: “No, no, don’t touch me there!” He could never be bought at any price. In fact, his fourth grade teacher observed on his report card, “Rory would make the perfect CIA agent as they could pull out his finger nails one by one and he would still never divulge his spelling words.”
I just never knew what Rory was going to do next but I was pretty clear it was going to be something. Scaring the bejeezus out of me was probably his alltime favorite sport, embarrassing me or his father in public a close second. His younger sibling, Henry, could be a target as well. As Olof, my second husband, often said after he came on the scene, “Rory looks for excitement. And finds it.” Oh, did he. The Rory stories are so plentiful and varied — part of his genius was that he never repeated anything twice — that they’re just referred to in family shorthand: “the Jolly Jumper baby brother slingshot disaster,” “the spray painting Henry silver crisis,” “the Mom’s office fiasco,” “the Jack in the Box ketchup explosion,” “the dropping the big rock down the chimney onto the metal grate two feet from where Mom was reading prank”, “the mummifying Henry episode,” “The Cleveland airport debacle (hopefully the warrant has expired),” “the Chinese restaurant catastrophe,” “the 15-inch rubber penis in the guest bath during
ATHENAEUM
Mom’s dinner party event,” and yes, even “the Bomb Squad incident.” In Rory’s defense, the HazMat guys should have realized right away it wasn’t a real bomb before they cordoned off the area. His handmade Mother’s Day card the year he was 10 read: “You’ve been like a mother to me.” But sometimes that incredible creativity saved us. We were on our way to the Jersey Shore for a three-week vacation but our flights had left San Diego late so we missed our connection. By the time we got to the Philadelphia airport, it was late — and our bags were nowhere to be found. We didn’t dare leave without them, as we doubted that even the most dedicated airline baggage service was ever going to find us in our remote barrier island location two hours away. The airline baggage lady had nothing but ennui for our situation. As I was getting increasingly irritated with her profound lack of interest, Henry, 9, sat quietly playing on his Game Boy while Olof read one of his massive technical tomes. Eleven-year-old Rory, who seemed oblivious to my conversation, was careening around the waiting area in a wheelchair he’d found there. Just as it seemed like we were going to spend the night in Philadelphia, he wheeled up to me and, twitching alarmingly, whimpered plaintively, “Mommmmmy, I left my medicine in my suitcase.” The color drained out of the baggage

lady’s face. All of a sudden she can’t type fast enough. Noting his success, Rory cranked it up a few notches, drooling out of the corner of his mouth, making scary guttural sounds, and flailing his arms so hard he fell out of the wheelchair. I thought the baggage lady would faint. The flight on which our bags were coming in was quickly located and we were showered with food and lounge coupons to make our wait more comfortable. (Rory made a miraculous recovery the second we wheeled him out of the baggage area.) Two hours later, the bags arrived and we were on our way. I was beyond grateful, so much so that I almost forgave him for the Chinese restaurant thing. (I’m still afraid to go back to that place.) u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

Watermelon Goat Cheese Salad is interspersed with rocket arugula, tomato slices and drizzled with cava dressing.
Humphreys caters to celebrities, steak-and-seafood lovers By Kelley Carlson hen it comes to his duties as executive chef at Humphreys, Paul Murphy sometimes has to play it by ear. Murphy caters to the “regular folks” who stop in to dine before a show, yet he also has the unique task of cooking for the seaside venue’s performers — an undertaking that keeps him and his staff on their toes. Many of the musicians’ culinary requests are spontaneous, although some of their menus are planned out ahead of time. But Murphy takes it all in stride. In fact, some of these celebrities have helped inspire the creation of dishes at Humphreys. For instance, Murphy based this season’s special 33rd Anniversary Performers & Plates menu on the tastes of those he has enjoyed cooking for over the years. Among the choices: Sauteed Sriracha Honey Shrimp, in honor of Greg Allman; Heirloom Carlsbad Tomato Caprese Salad, inspired by the Indigo Girls; Petite Filet Mignon, for Michael McDonald; and Grilled Sea Bass, devised with the Doobie Brothers in mind. Murphy doesn’t lose sight of the restaurant patrons, though, and ensures selections that satisfy a wide range of tastes. And they’re served in a dining room with picturesque scenes of San Diego Bay.

And we have simple, straightforward food. We try to please all palates.” While perusing the menu, guests can imbibe cocktails such as the seasonal Melon Lemonade, a not-too-sweet blend of Grey Goose Le Melon, lemon juice, iced tea and mint; or perhaps sip on wines such as the smooth Laird chardonnay. For a possible first course, patrons may scan the list of appetizers, soups and salads,
which includes Murphy’s specialty, the Belgian Endive Salad with spinach, gorgonzola, walnuts, pears, enoki mushrooms and raspberry-walnut vinaigrette. Another option is the summery Watermelon Goat Cheese Salad with rocket arugula, tomato slices and cava dressing. Seafood lovers can delight in the Jumbo Lump Crabcake with aioli and hearty chunks of crab meat. The entrees come from land and sea, and one longtime crowd favorite is the Macadamia Crusted Sea Bass. There’s also the Swordfish Oscar, with crabmeat resting on top and asparagus spears on the side. It’s all covered in bernaise sauce, lying on a bed of lemon tarragon basmati rice. Murphy said some menu items will soon change and there will be more lamb-based fare. There will also be variants on ribs and swordfish, and more sandwich options. At the end of the meal, there’s a hard-toresist dessert tray. On a recent evening, there was a crème brulee with fruit; ricotta cheesecake with plum sorbet; chocolate mousse bonbon; chocolate chip cookie pie with caramel sauce and ice cream; white chocolate cheesecake with raspberry sauce; and a light and airy bread pudding made with a croissant, chock full of diced pears and topped with caramel and ice cream. u

The former is a metaphor for eating refined sugars or simple carbohydrates, like cotton candy and white bread, which causes a spike in blood sugar levels, while walloping the pancreas. The latter scenario occurs when eating complex carbs or sugar substitutes, such as whole-wheat pancakes drizzled in brown rice syrup, causing a gradual rise in blood glucose. The glycemic index is an indicator of the speed at which particular foods cause a boost in the blood sugar levels. High glycemic index foods like glucose (GI 100) should be swapped out for low GI sweeteners (Stevia GI) not only for
diabetics, but the health-conscious smart eater. The sweet tooth denizens can easily satisfy their craving with such delightful choices as: Stevia, an herb indigenous to South America is 300 times sweeter than sugar, so a little pinch will do you. This zero-calorie sweetener with no glycemic impact can be enjoyed by diabetes in such treats as dark chocolate fudge, dessert crepes, oatmeal raisin cookies and apple crisps. Yacón syrup, an Incan culinary treasure from the Andes Mountains is derived from tuberous roots of the yacón plant.

From Music Society, B1 The ambitious season’s familiar favorites include young Russian piano virtuoso Daniil Trifonov, Cuban jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval and Israeli-born pianist (and SummerFest fixture) Inon Barnatan. The new season opens on Friday, Oct. 17 with Louisiana’s own Branford Marsalis, who’ll be performing with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. The concert will be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s Sherwood Auditorium, site of many of the season’s performances. Other venues include the Auditorium at The Scripps Research Institute, or TSRI, and downtown San Diego’s Jacobs Music Center/ Copley Symphony Hall, Balboa Theatre, Spreckels Theatre and Civic Theatre. Beach calls Marsalis the perfect choice for opening night. “One of his performances I will remember for the rest of my life,” he said, recounting a duet with double bassist Eric Revis two years ago at LJMS’s SummerFest. “It was a tour de force,” Beach said. “Just musical mastery.” There’s plenty of that to go around in the 2014-15 season, which mingles classical music with jazz, dance, cabaret, even ukulele. Yes, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, tickets for which are “selling like hotcakes,” Beach said, will perform everything from Tchaikovsky to Ennio Morricone’s music for the so-called “Spaghetti Westerns” on Jan. 23. The Revelle Chamber Music Series will showcase “masterpieces of the string quartet repertory,” Beach said. “You’ve got Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven … something for

everybody.” Two ensembles new to La Jolla, the Hagen Quartet (Oct. 25) and Danish String Quartet (Nov. 15), will join the Takács Quartet (Jan. 17) and Jerusalem Quartet (Feb. 21) as part of the series. In addition to Trifonov (April 10), Barnatan (March 14) and András Schiff (Feb. 20), the Frieman Family Piano Series will feature 22-year-old Nikolay Khozyainov on Jan. 31. Beach said he first encountered Khozyainov on a YouTube video. At his LJMS Discovery Series performance last year, Khozyainov “did eight encores with the audience screaming,” Beach said, adding “I will put this (Frieman Family) piano series up against any piano series of anybody’s in America.” On the subject of piano, this season’s
Celebrity Orchestra Series is distinguished by the presence of three notable pianists: Jean-Yves Thibaudet, with the Czech Philharmonic conducted by Jiri Belohlavek on Nov. 6; Yuja Wang with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas on March 29, and Hélène Grimaud with the Rotterdam Philharmonic on Feb. 13. The latter’s music director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, was recently named the music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra. “In the world of classical music today, he’s one of the most exciting conductors around,” Beach said. The headliner of the season’s Dance Series is New York City Ballet’s Wendy Whelan on Jan. 30 in a program with four male choreographers titled “Restless
Creature.” She’ll be followed by Moses Pendleton’s theatrical MOMIX company on March 13, and then Malandain Ballet Biarritz on May 3, which will premiere in America its work “Romeo et Juliette.” Besides Arturo Sanodval and Poncho Sanchez and his Latin Jazz Band on May 16, the Jazz Series offers keyboardists Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea on March 20, and the legendary bluesman Buddy Guy, 78 and still going strong, on April 11. Also in April, on the 25th, Michael Feinstein and his big band will present an all-Frank Sinatra program, a special event for fans of Ol’ Blue Eyes. The Discovery Series of new stars includes pianist Jiayan Sun on Jan. 25, pianist Ingolf Wunder on Feb. 8, pianist Charlie Albright on March 22 and cellist Han Bin Yoon on April 26. Beach is particularly proud of the season’s Celebrity Recital Series, which boasts violinist Gidon Kremer and pianist Trifonov on Jan. 15, violinist Gil Shaham on Feb. 27 and violinist Christian Tetzlaff and pianist Lars Vogt on May 9. “We are presenting here in little Sherwood Auditorium by the sea people who fill the great halls of the world,” Beach said. “You get to see and hear them 25 feet away. To see this recital series is a once-in-alifetime luxury.” u n IF YOU GO: For details and tickets to La Jolla Music Society’s 2014-15 season, visit ljms.org or call (858) 459-3728.

German Lieders to fill the air at Athenaeum Music & Arts Library’s performance series From Athenaeum Reports
The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library will present “Bringing Lieder Alive,” a three-part performance lecture series 7:30 p.m. Oct. 17, 19 and 21 at 1008 Wall St. Attendees will experience the entire spectrum of Lieder written between 1785 and 1901, and will gain a better understanding of how to listen to Lieder. Lieder is a type of German song (especially of the Romantic period), typically for solo voice with piano accompaniment. The performances of mezzo-soprano Kindra Scharich penetrate deeply into the hearts of listeners, including those experiencing Lieder for the first time. Her piano collaborator and partner in designing the series is San Diego pianist and lecturer, George Fee. Their selections will include many of the most familiar and best-loved Lieder, as well as lesser-known gems. The first session will include Lieder by
Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. Session two will feature late-Schubert and Schumann, and also include works by Mendelssohn and Liszt. Bass opera-singer Kirk Eichelberger will join Scharich and Fee in this program. The final session will cover Brahms, Hugo Wolf, Richard Strauss and Mahler, and will enhance the opening chamber concert with Luca Pisaroni the following week. Pisaroni will perform the Lieder repertoire set to the words of Geothe and Heinrich Heine and accompanied by the Metropolitan Opera’s greatest accompanist, Noah Wolfinger. Listen to an hour-long Lieder recital performed by Scharich and Fee, and find information on important Lieder composers and the evolution of the Lieder at dersnah-fee.com/lieder-and-more.html The individual lectures/concerts are $20 for Athenaeum members and $25 for the public at LJAthenaeum.org/lectures or (858) 454-5872. u

pride that we work ourselves to the point of exhaustion. This heroism deserves to be recognized, appreciated and rewarded, but it never is. The reason why burnout is never rewarded is because we created this opportunity to work ourselves into exhaustion in order to cover up some deeper feelings. The brain of other people know this and is not impressed. The capacity for the human brain to protect itself by engaging in feelings and behaviors that distract it from the true feelings and nature of its being is simply a survival strategy designed to keep it working, to keep it productive, and to ensure its survival. Sometimes we grow up in families that teach us how to feel good about ourselves and how to feel good about others. And sometimes we grow up in families that teach us how to feel bad about ourselves and how to feel bad about others. But beyond the experience of family, there is the capacity for self reflection, which allows a balancing of our self-interest with the interest of others. This self reflection involves a comprehension of the social forces at work. This
comprehension allows us to perpetuate a sense of balance, as well as a sense of control that allows us to feel secure. Men and women who burnout by working themselves to exhaustion are simply continuing the fantasy that they can cover up their deeper needs for security. Sometimes this will work for a long time, upwards up ten years perhaps, but it can’t be done indefinitely. Yes, you can physically burn yourself out. This is physical exhaustion. Then there is emotional exhaustion that comes from denying the truth about how safe we feel. Take the time to tell the truth. Self-denial is a survival strategy but taken to the extreme. Don’t ignore the voice inside you that may be telling you, “I know something isn’t right, but I’m just not sure what it is.” I have over 15 years of experience working with professionals of all variety.

‘Fiddler’ lyricist brings remodeled ‘Rothschild’ show to town By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Multi-award-winning lyricist Sheldon Harnick has been writing songs for more than 70 of his 90 years — and he’s still going strong. Harnick was at North Coast Repertory Theatre Sept. 22-23 for a twonight staged reading of “Rothschild & Sons,” a newly revamped version of his 1970 Broadway show, “The Rothschilds.” This first public viewing of the work-inprogress was preceded on Sept. 21 by a celebration of Harnick’s career that included a conversation with Arnold Mittelman, director of the National Jewish Theater, who presented Harnick with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Lawrence Family JCC’s Garfield Theatre. Mittelman, a Miami-based producer who presented “The Rothschilds” at the Coconut Grove Playhouse two decades ago, is the power behind “Rothschild & Sons,” which he hopes to bring to Broadway. Harnick, best-known as the lyricist for “Fiddler on the Roof,” started out as a violinist, studying chamber music at Northwestern University, while indulging his love of wordplay by contributing songs to the school’s annual musical revues. “My original ambition was to be second violin in a second-rate symphony,” he said. “But then, in my third year at Northwestern, a friend went to New York and brought back an LP of ‘Finian’s
Rainbow.’ When I first heard those Yip Harburg songs, I said: That’s what I want to do!” So he set his sights on Broadway, and first hit the big time with “The Boston Beguine,” a comic number you can still see on YouTube that was featured in “New Faces of 1952,” a musical revue that gave a head-start to a handful of stars-to-be, including Eartha Kitt and Mel Brooks. In 1958, after years of writing for revues, Harnick teamed up with composer Jerry Bock for a full-length musical called “The Body Beautiful.” It wasn’t exactly a hit, but it proved to be a good showcase for their talents, and their next venture, “Fiorello,” about NYC mayor Fiorello La Guardia, was a smash. Besides winning the Tony for best musical, it also snagged the 1960 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The peak of Harnick’s career was surely the 1964 mega-hit “Fiddler,” though he did several other shows with Bock afterwards, virtually all of them Tonywinners or nominees. Sadly, “The Rothschilds” turned out to be their last collaboration; they had a falling out and never worked together again. Bock died in 2010, but Harnick has never stopped working with other collaborators, including Sesame Street music man Joe Raposo and film-score composer Michel Legrand, and even with a couple of musicals of his own.
But right now, there’s ”Rothschild & Sons,” for which he has written one new song, and polished some of the old ones. Along with “Rothschilds” librettist Sherman Yellen and Jeffrey B. Moss, director of the 1995 Coconut Grove production, he is broadening the show’s appeal. “We’re making it more universal, more applicable to ghettos everywhere,” he said. At NCRT, he said he was thrilled with the performers, and audiences responded to both performances with standing ovations. From here, “Rothschild” goes on to a November reading in New York, but that’s not the only item on Harnick’s calendar. This is the 50th anniversary of “Fiddler,” now heading for its fifth Broadway revival, with UC San Diego acting alum and five-time Tony winner Danny Burstein playing Tevye. And there’s a book of NYC photographs by his wife of 50 years, actress Margery Gray (she was in the 1960 Bock-Harnick musical “Tenderloin”), to which he’s contributing a series of poems. And as always, he’s got a few other projects in the works. Not long ago, Harnick revised the lyrics of “Sunrise, Sunset,” a hugely popular song at wedding ceremonies, to fit same-sex couples. The years may fly swiftly, but Sheldon Harnick goes on creating and recreating, keeping in step with the times. u

San Diego Ballet to open 25th season with ‘Seven Beauties’ From SDB Reports
In 1991 Robin Sherertz-Morgan founded the new San Diego Ballet with her friend and choreographer, Javier Velasco. They collaborated to fulfill SDB’s mission to “excite, enrich, and entertain its diverse audience through an imaginative presentation of quality classical and contemporary dance.” To mark its 25th anniversary season, SDB will present the U.S. premiere of “Seven Beauties,” 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11 at San Diego Civic Theater. Next, the Company will perform the holiday favorite “The Nutcracker,” Dec. 2728 at San Diego Symphony Hall; the sultry “Sweet Synergy Suite,” Feb. 6-8 at Lyceum Theater in Horton Plaza, and will wrap up the season with combined performances of “Carnival of the Animals” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” March 20-21 at the Lyceum Theater. With only eight dancers and two productions in its inaugural season, SDB has grown to include 20 dancers and a repertoire that includes original pieces such as “Mambomania,” “Luna Lunera,” “Opus Swing” and “Sweet Synergy Suite.” The Company also performs pieces from the New York City Ballet’s choreographer George Balanchine, including “Serenade,” “Concerto Barroco” and “Rubies,” plus classical pieces including “The Nutcracker,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Romeo & Juliet.” SDB features dancers from all the United States, Russia, Japan, and Mexico. “Seven Beauties” is a first-of-its-kind
collaboration with the Azerbaijan Ministry of Culture & Tourism, the Consulate General of Azerbaijan in Los Angeles, and the Grossmont Symphony Orchestra. Resident choreographer Velasco was inspired to create this ballet after reading a 12th century poem by the Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi, and listening to the score from Azerbaijani composer Gara Garayev. “Most people don’t know that women had the right to vote in Azerbaijan before they had the right to vote in America; or that this is a region of the world where poets have always been revered, because they were seen as social critics and reformers,” Velasco said. “When I first started wrapping my head around the piece, I just thought ‘Ugh! One guy and seven women — that is a bit archaic when it comes to modern day life.’ It wasn’t until it was explained to me that the seven beauties in question are representative of Azerbaijan’s centuries-old tradition of multiculturalism that I got it. This will be very special evening — with a few surprises even.” In addition to the formal season, Dance Gallery 2015 will feature the original choreography of SDB dancers at the Company’s home studio April 4 at Dance Place San Diego at Liberty Station in Point Loma. The Company will host its annual gala May 9 at the Westin Hotel with entertainment, a silent auction and dinner. n IF YOU GO: • Tickets are free for San Diego Ballet’s opening night, “Seven Beauties: An evening

Lee (Manny Fernandes) and his brother Austin (Francis Gercke) rub each other the wrong way in ‘True West,’ directed by Cygnet Theatre Artistic Director Sean Murray. Daren Scott
Let’s Review Diana Saenger
‘True West’ and ‘Fool for Love’ explore love and jealousy
A
merican playwright, actor, author, television and film director and Pulitzer Prize-winner Sam Shepard, gets a mix of reactions on his plays. Some call them brooding and dark, while others praise them as grand and maybe mythic. Cygnet Theatre is staging two, “True West” and “Fool for Love,” in repertory at the Cygnet Theatre in Old Town. “Fool for Love” takes place in a small hotel room where May (Carla Harting) is holding up and hoping her rodeo rider boyfriend Eddie (Francis Gercke) will not find her. No such luck as Eddie storms through the door professing his love and begging her to take him back. May screams and yells for Eddie to leave but when he tries; she hugs his legs at the door begging him to stay. After the two down some shots of alcohol, May remembers she’s mad because he had an affair, swiftly proved by
gunshots from the other woman’s car barreling through the hotel room window. Now really upset, May remembers she has a man coming to pick her up for a date and nicely pleads with Eddie to leave. Again he refuses, and when her date Martin (Manny Fernandes) shows up, has a drunken laughfest in leading Martin astray about his identity, even throwing out the possibility May might be his half-sister. The play itself is one many theatergoers might think about ignoring, but it’s the powerful performances that keep the intrigue building in this love spectacle of rather unpleasant people. Gercke, a real staple in San Diego theater, once again exhibits perfection in embodying the character of Eddie. One moment you like him, the next you don’t. It’s almost the same with Harting. At first there’s a craziness, almost manic personality that arouses little symphony
Eddie (Francis Gercke) tries to explain to May’s (Carla Harting) date, Martin (Manny Fernandes), who he is to her in ‘Fool for Love.’ Ken Jacques for her situation. But then there are moments when one can see she’s probably one of many in this situation. Fernandes is good at playing the “what’s next” character as more and more revelations about this sparring couple unfurl. One of the most interesting characters in the play is the Old Man (Antonio TJ Johnson). He appears in the corner of the room in a rocker just observing for much of the play, but then he addresses both May and Eddie and reveals pertinent facts of their past that paint a more vivid portrait of who they are and how they got to this point in their lives. Gercke, Fernandes and Johnson also star in “True West.” In a small, neat kitchen Austin (Gercke) sets typing out a screenplay he’s in the process of selling to a producer. He is house sitting for his mother (Jill Drexler), who is on a trip to Alaska. Everything is fine until his disheveled brother Lee (Fernandes) arrives. He makes routine trips to the fridge for a beer while bragging about breaking into a house and stealing things. But when he learns of Austin’s good luck, he becomes an angry, jealous man who taunts and physically throws jabs at his brother. Austin is very astute at trying to both compliment his brother and steer him in a path out-the-door mainly so he will leave
him alone to continue his writing. This only irritates Lee more. Austin is really hoping to get rid of Lee before his producer Saul (Johnson) comes over. Not only does not that happen; Lee buddies up to Saul and they make a golf date for the next day. Returning from his golf game the next morning Lee blissfully informs Austin that Saul is now going to back his story for a movie and not Austin’s. At this point the two brothers actually reverse the good brother, bad brother characters. Lee continues to taunt and actually try to type his screenplay, while Austin gets plastered and completely destroys his mother’s kitchen. For me it was hard to buy this total switch of personalities and I thought the ensuing violence by Austin required more explanation for such a severe reaction. There’s some humor in this play, but mostly fostered from more violence. I wholeheartedly agree with what Shepard himself said about his plays; “Beginnings are definitely the most exciting, the middles are perplexing and the endings are a disaster.” 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.
