Overnight Frustration

Community Planners revisit short-term rental issue By Pat Sherman During the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s (LJCPA) Oct. 2 meeting, residents voiced concern about homes being used for short-term vacation rentals (STVR), or those in which the home is rented for less than 30 consecutive nights. La Jolla Meeting attendees and Community trustees first heard from LJCPA Planning secretary Helen Boyden, who chaired LJCPA’s ad hoc Association committee on STVRs that met from January to July of this year. Boyden discussed the group’s work and a set of proposed solutions it crafted that LJCPA trustees will consider submitting to the City of San Diego next month. During opening presentations by two community stakeholders, trustees considered input on how San Diego Police’s Community Assisted Party Program (CAPP) is used to handle noise and other complaints about short-term See Planners, A6

and apprentices took advantage of the warm weather this weekend to build some castles at La Jolla Shores. Berce says the sand in La Jolla Shores is ideal for castle construction as it is holds together well and has a “beautiful black and tan color which creates nice marbled effects.” It also contains pyrite (fool’s gold), causing it to glitter in the sun, he said. u — Submitted by Rob Whittemore

Jolla Light question last month stating they do not favor the addition of paid on-street parking in the Village to generate additional income for the LJVMA. The group’s executive committee is exploring this and other options to increase revenue for its objectives, including the formation of a property maintenance assessment district (PBID), which would assess a fee on property owners, in addition to business owners (as the BID does). The public has a one-week window to challenge the LJVMA election results. If no challenge is received, the group’s inspector of elections, Warren Simon, will certify the new board members, and they will be assigned term limits at the Nov. 12 meeting.

In other LJVMA news n Olfactory assault: LJVMA executive director Fortune noted that despite the city periodically spraying the bluffs above La Jolla Cove to rid them of bird and marine mammal excrement, the pungent odor at the Cove that created a national stir last year has returned — and is worsening. “We have witnessed all summer a

reduction in tourism,” Fortune said, noting that numbers tracked by LJVMA Visitor Information Center staff were down between July and September. “My concern is that all the negative publicity we took last year has impacted us greatly this summer. We had a treatment July 3 and it has not helped at all.” Board president Claude-Anthony Marengo said he broached the issue in a meeting with Mayor Kevin Faulconer, who said the city was doing what it could to alleviate the smell, though considered it a “federal issue.” “I think the feds need to be put on notice to let the city do what it needs to do,” Marengo countered. Fortune said a lawsuit filed by a group of residents and merchants organized as the Citizens for Odor Nuisance Abatement is still in the works. She said she met with La Valencia Hotel’s managing director, Mark Dibella, and restaurateur George Hauer, who are trying to get the city to approve adding more gates in the fence above La Jolla Cove. A gate installed there in December 2013 has allowed the public to walk onto the bluffs, ostensibly deterring wildlife from congregating and defecating there.

“They’re talking about having to go through the city process and that could be two or three months or longer just to present that and get that approved,” Fortune said. “I don’t think that’s all that needs to be done.” Fortune said Hauer indicated he might return to the idea of seeking monetary damages from the city for business he has lost at his restaurant above La Jolla Cove due to the smell. n BID bylaws “tune-up”: LJVMA trustees voted unanimously to approve a motion by Marengo (seconded by trustee Berwin) to ask merchant members for their feedback on the LJVMA’s bylaws, and suggestions for possible revisions that would make the organization more beneficial to merchants. “I’m going to ask that we put our bylaws into a cursory review, just to see what we can do,” Marengo said. “I know we’ve looked at it before but (let’s) look at it again and see if there’s a way to facilitate being more available to the merchants … just to get an overall tune-up.” Trustee Nancy Warwick suggested the

Although not significant, the number is up from 63 who voted in last year’s election, LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune said (there are currently a little more than 1,200 merchant members within La Jolla’s BID). The top two vote-getters were returning board members Krista Baroudi of La Jolla Cove Suites and Leon Chow of C&H Photo (81 votes each), followed by: Terrance Underwood of the Grande Colonial Hotel and Richard Walker of Richard Walker’s Pancake House (78 votes each); current trustee Claudette Berwin of Gallery Properties (77 votes); businessman and consultant Paul Burke and current trustee James Niebling of Esteban Interiors (74 votes each); Elsie Arredondo of Monarch Gallery (73 votes); Michael Dorvillier of Symbio Financial (72 votes) and attorney Glen Rasmussen (71 votes). Two board members seeking re-election, Trenton Bonner and board vice-president Mark Krasner, did not receive sufficient votes.

discussion also be put on the agenda for a couple of months so the group can receive adequate public input before it votes on any revisions. n BID income increase: Fortune noted that BID revenue increased from $15,000 in June and $16,000 in July to around $26,000 in August and $19,000 in September. She attributed the increase to efforts by LJVMA’s “block captains” to educate merchants and let them know they need to pay their business tax certificate (business license) fee, a portion of which funds LJVMA’s efforts. “A lot of that dollar amount, the $26,000, was penalties and (delinquent) fees,” Fortune said, noting the city would roll the surplus BID money into next year’s fiscal budget. “There’s still a lot of businesses that are (listed) on the tax roll I get monthly that have huge amounts still outstanding that we and the city are working together to try and collect,” Fortune added. “There are still, I bet, 400 to 600 businesses still operating in the BID that are not paying their business license fees, so we are still far from resolving this issue.” Fortune said LJVMA is not making much progress getting independent contractors operating under a larger business model to pay BID fees. “That’s one of the groups we’re working on — nail salons, real estate offices, architectural firms … anyone that has some executive suites,” she said. n Effort to increase parking limit on Girard Avenue: Trustee Warkwick of

Warwick’s Books said she circulated a petition to business owners within a threeblock radius on Girard Avenue where her store is located seeking to increase the limit on free street parking from 60 to 90 minutes. Several years ago, Girard Avenue was reported to be the most frequently ticketed block in the City of San Diego, she said. Warwick said one hour is typically not enough time for shoppers to frequent more than one store or dine in the area, and is not compatible with a “shop local” ethos. “If you want to go clothes shopping and get a sandwich or buy a book, you’re pushed for time,” she said. “Right now, I don’t really need 90 minutes for Warwicks ... but I like the idea that people are going to come down and go other places, too.” Warwick said only three businesses declined to sign the petition, including one who liked the idea of high customer turnover, and another concerned with employees taking advantage of a longer time slot. Warwick will bring her proposal to La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation committee for consideration as an official recommendation to the city. n Navigating city bureaucracy: Marengo said his plan to have the LJVMA be a conduit to help businesses seeking to open in the Village navigate red tape at the city is not coming along as seamlessly as he’d envisioned. As a test case, Marengo said he sought to help Esteban Interiors with permits for ongoing construction to its storefront and has experienced confusion and delays at the

city’s Development Services Department. “We are now on month six in dealing with an over-the-counter permit. I’ve got 29 years experience doing this kind of work and I can tell you that I’ve never been so disgusted (with Development Services),” said Marengo, adding he received “three different responses that had three different criteria on what to submit, who to go see, how to go pay … and we’re talking about something that’s in construction, not something that has to go through a community review process.” n Pillage the Village: The LJVMA is again gearing up for its annual Halloween trick-or-treating and costume contest event for children, Pillage the Village, to take place at participating stores along Girard Avenue and on some adjoining streets 3-6 p.m. Oct. 31. pillagethevillage.info n Business transitions: LJVMA board member Leon Chow noted that Village Greens, a restaurant serving breakfast and lunch made with hormone-free meats and organic and farm-to table produce, is slated to open on upper Girard Avenue, in the space formerly occupied by Ariccia Italian Market. The owners are Nanci Kirk and April Richardson Caulk (who operated The Cottage restaurant on Fay Avenue, before selling it in 1983). In addition, Derma Utopia skin care center has opened at 7509 Draper Ave. (near Pearl Street) and Aly’s Pilates & Therapy opened at 7448 Girard Ave. Meanwhile, CJ Charles Jewelers recently unveiled a significant interior restoration to its space at

1135 Prospect St. Closing recently in the Village were Nosh Delicatessen at 7734 Girard Ave. and La Jolla Yoga Center at 7741 Fay Ave. Ligne Roset, the French furniture and lifestyle brand that has been a part of the La Jolla community for more than a decade, is closing its showroom at 7726 Girard Ave., with discounts and floor-sample savings. n Bookkeeper departs: Fortune noted that LJVMA’s part-time bookkeeper, Maryam Kheradbakhs, has resigned to travel. Mary Joseph, a consultant who provides bookkeeping services to the San Diego BID Council, will assist Fortune in the interim and through LJVMA’s annual audit. Joseph will also offer a monthly review of the books for La Jolla’s Coastal Access & Parking Board, for which the LJVMA is the city’s contracted fiscal agent. La Jolla Coastal Access & Parking will pay a monthly $1,200 administrative services fee to LJVMA for the use of its equipment, supplies, bookkeeping and accounting management services — about a $2,000 peryear reduction in CAPB’s current bookkeeping expenses, Fortune said. n La Jolla Day at Petco Park: Fortune reported that the LJVMA’s cross-promotion with the San Diego Padres, in which they received a portion of ticket sales, netted $754 for the organization. u — The La Jolla Village Merchants Association next meets 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12 at the Cuvier Club, 7776 Eads Ave. lajollabythesea.org

in our residential neighborhoods just disrupts our quality of life,” he said. “It dramatically increases our intensity of use.” However, STVR ad hoc committee member Jonah Mechanic, representing the San Diego Vacation Rental Managers Alliance, noted that a 2007 memorandum from then San Diego City Attorney Mike Aguirre found “no evidence that past zoning codes prohibit short-term vacation rentals in the single-family zone, nor do current regulations prohibit such a use.” (LJCPA board President Joe LaCava, who was not in attendance, later told La Jolla Light some residents who spoke with current city attorney Jan Goldsmith this year confirmed that this is still the city’s official legal position on STVRs.)

for raising the issue of a young girl who drowned Aug. 2 at a property in the 5000 block of Rutgers Road used for STVRs. “I think it’s despicable that a child’s death was brought up to support any case,” said Mechanic, noting that the renters were his clients. “However, since it was brought up, I think it’s essential to note that the child was a member of a family who was staying at that home for 38 days. They were not a vacation renter.” (Mark and Barbara Leinenweber, who live adjacent the home where the drowning occurred, disputed how long the couple was renting.) Mechanic said STVRs generate $4.4 million in annual transient occupancy tax (TOT) for the city, and are estimated to have a $312 million annual economic impact. “Short-term rentals are ideal for families,

traveling professionals, tourists, visiting professors and small groups who want to experience the best that La Jolla has to offer,” he said. “Short-term renters are contractually obligated to follow all the laws, in addition to management rules, and are held financially accountable.” Of an estimated 460 La Jolla houses being used as STVRs, Mechanic said the ad hoc committee only heard about four problem homes — all of which he said would be considered “party houses,” or those rented for one or two weekend nights that involve amplified sound, parking issues and a blatant disregard for neighbors. “Those four houses represent less than 1 percent of the total inventory,” he said. “I believe everyone in this room is all on the same page that we need to work together to make sure that these kind of houses do not exist in our communities.” Mechanic said current methods in place to prevent party houses and disruptive STVRs, “while not perfect, are effective and need to be improved.” “They need to ensure that those who are not following the rules are penalized, however, not at the expense of those who are,” he said. La Jolla Shores resident Jim Thomas said he has used his home for STVRs for almost 15 years and has never heard complaints from his neighbors. “I don’t have a pool, a Jacuzzi, nor a fire pit,” Thomas said, adding that if his home were used for a disruptive party he would “shut it down very quickly.” Fellow Shores resident Lani Buchbinder

Tips to avoid delays in your escrow closing

It finally happens! You have an accepted offer on your home and you are in the escrow period and counting the days until it closes. What you don’t want to do is have any delays. Here are some helpful hints from an escrow officer to make sure you are not the cause of any delay. 1) Promptly return any paperwork sent to you by the escrow company. 2) Let escrow know immediately if there are any changes in your escrow due to credits for repairs, closing date change, names misspelled, etc. 3) Make sure your ID matches the name on title. Check on middle names and initials. Make sure your ID is not expired. Many papers need to be notarized in escrow. 4) Allow extra time if you are going out of town for the closing – a traveling notary will need to be arranged if you will be out of town. If you will be out of the country, you will need to meet with the American Consulate to have papers notarized. 5) Is there more than one HOA? Many homeowner associations take up to 10 days to provide HOA documents. If there are two homeowners associations, make sure escrow has the information on both of them. The buyer needs to receive this information and approve the materials before escrow can close. Sometimes the seller also needs to pay each HOA before they will prepare the documents for the buyer. 6) If the buyer is getting a loan to purchase the home, just before the closing, the seller will need to sign a closing statement showing credits and debits prepared by the escrow for the lender. The loan will not fund until this is signed and some lenders require an original signature. It is important for seller and buyer to check with escrow to make sure all forms are signed and received by escrow.

vacation rentals. CAPP is designed to identify and penalize the owners of homes hosting loud and disturbing parties on a chronic basis. Once a home is identified as problematic, it is considered “CAPPed,” and a zero-tolerance policy is enforced. In lieu of warnings, officers must then take direct enforcement action, including arrests, citations, property impounds, sobriety checks and vehicle impounds. Representing the 30-Day Club, a group advocating that all vacation rentals be for durations of 30 days or more, ad hoc committee member Jon Mangerich argued that under CAPP the threshold for enforcement on STVRs is too high to be effective. CAPP is more appropriate for dealing with houses rented as so-called “mini-dorms” near San Diego State University, he said. CAPP also suggests citizen monitoring and citizen arrests, placing the burden of enforcement in the hands of residents, instead of the police or the STVR industry, Mangerich said. The ad hoc committee’s recommendations for strengthening CAPP “further requests citizen policing via video and audio evidence,” he noted. “The wisdom of pointing a video camera at a group of intoxicated partiers should be clear.” Mangerich characterized STVRs in San Diego as “unacknowledged businesses,” adding most CAPP violations merely wind up in an already overburdened small claims court system. “A short-term vacation rental

La Jollan Jon Mangerich of the ‘30-Day Club’ says the city should not allow short-term vacation rentals of less than 30 days, which would prevent homes being rented for loud parties and events, such as weddings.

recounted her experience living next door to a home on La Jolla Scenic Drive North that was rented for weddings until it was CAPPed. She noted a “continuous stream of trucks” arriving every Thursday over several months delivering party décor, music equipment, tables and chairs. “How about someone ringing your bell and asking where to deliver porta-potties … invasive music and shouting that increases as the night progresses, and inebriated people piling into cars at night’s end?” she posed. Chelsea Street resident Mary Kinyon said short-term renters on her street cursed at her when she asked them to turn their music down, telling her that they paid $5,000 to rent the property for the weekend. Gale Baccaglini said STVRs lower property values, adding that some STVR landlords she knows are not paying their transient occupancy tax, as required by the city. As the meeting reached its end, LJCPA trustees voted to continue public comment and trustee discussion on STVRs at its next meeting, 6 p.m. Nov. 6 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. In November, trustees will consider the ad hoc committee’s suggestions, including that the city strengthen CAPP and establish a permitting process for STVRs; strive to substantially improve police response times to citizen complaints; substantially increase fines for CAPP violations; and dedicate CAPP fine revenue for code enforcement and public outreach. In addition, the ad hoc group is recommending that once a house has been

Representing the shortterm vacation rental industry, Jonah Mechanic tells LJCPA trustees that the incidence of problem vacation rentals in La Jolla is exaggerated, and that the rentals bring much needed tax revenue to the city.

n Reservoir rebuild OK’d: LJCPA trustees also discussed and approved the city’s plans to rebuild the La Jolla Country Club Pump Station and Reservoir off Encelia Drive on Mt. Soledad. The rebuild is designed to meet La Jolla’s future water needs and comply with current Homeland Security mandates.

designated as problematic under CAPP, the owner be required to give the city a substantial security deposit that would be forfeited if there is a subsequent CAPP violation. The ad hoc committee stopped short of recommending that the city codify STVRs as stays of 30 days or more, or that there be no more than 12 rentals in any 12-month period at a given property. President LaCava said trustees will likely forward whatever final recommendations come out of the November meeting to the offices of District 1 City Council representative Sherri Lightner and Mayor Kevin Faulconer, and to La Jolla’s new community planner, Karen Bucey.

Former jewelry shop owner arrested, charged with grand theft, embezzlement Police Blotter

CRIME NEWS By Pat Sherman he subject of a 2014 La Jolla Light investigation into consignment stores, Karl Winchell of Winchell Jewelry Designs, was arrested Oct. 7 and charged with grand theft and merchant embezzlement, said detective sergeant Meryl Bernstein with San Diego Police’s Northern Division, who led the investigation. Winchell closed his shop on Wall Street in La Jolla in June, after SDPD began looking into his business practices, which included claims he scammed customers of thousands of dollars in jewelry and cash. Bernstein said Winchell was arrested at his home near San Diego State University, where she recovered 47 pieces of jewelry matching those reported as stolen or misappropriated by at least five of his victims. “A good 27 to 30 of those 47 pieces I can match up with victims,” Bernstein said, noting that she recovered about $40,000 in evidence from Winchell’s home. Winchell was released on bail, and the case has been sent to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Economic Crimes Division for prosecution.

Longtime la Jolla jeweler Karl Winchell vacated his space at 1123 Wall St. in June, shortly after San Diego Police launched an investigation of his business practices, which include multiple court cases filed claiming Winchell scammed customers out of their valuables and/or money. Bernstein said the district attorney’s office could pursue charges of elder abuse. “Some of my victims are over 65 years old,” she said. “What I’m doing right now is just contacting my victims and sending them pictures and trying to make sure that they can identify (which pieces belong to them),” she said. “He’s out now, but at least he’s being held accountable. I think the victims are very happy at this point.” One of Winchell’s victims, Del Cerro resident Jim Hall, noted that four months after receiving a small claims court

judgment against Winchell for $10,0000 (in April) he was finally paid, plus $600 in interest and court fees. “We had to go back to court again, and a judge threatened him with going to jail,” said Hall, who gave Winchell a ring to sell more than 17 months ago, which was never returned. “I was actually happier with his arrest than with being paid $10,000,” Hall added. “My whole thing when I started this was … that I wanted it to stop so there wouldn’t be more victims.” u

Community mourns SHOWROOM CLOSING Melissa Bonney Ratcliff FINAL SALE T he family of Melissa Bonney Ratcliff, the 45-year-old woman killed in a tragic accident on Girard Avenue Oct. 7, held a memorial service in her honor, 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 12 at St. James by-the-Sea church. Ratcliff, who was struck by an out-of-control car driven by an elderly motorist in La Jolla, was an executive with the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce and a one-time aide to former Vice President Al Gore. A La Jollan and mother of three young children, Ratcliff had parked in a diagonal parking space on Girard Avenue shortly before noon when a car driven by the 91-year-old woman backed out of a space across the street, continued across both traffic lanes and hit her, pinning her between the two cars, police said. A San Diego police spokesman said the agency would have no additional comment on the investigation or whether the driver’s license would be reviewed. Jerry Sanders, the chamber president and chief executive officer, sent an e-mail to chamber members afterward expressing “great sadness” over Ratcliff’s death. “Melissa was a well-respected and valued member of the Chamber team and will be missed by all of us,” Sanders wrote. “We are all deeply saddened by her loss and send our thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.” Sanders said in a phone interview that Ratcliff had worked for the chamber for about six months and was in charge of four or Melissa Bonney Ratcliff five staff members. She served as the chamber’s vice president 1969-2014 of marketing and events. Ratcliff, who was divorced, was an “extremely dedicated mother,” said Sanders, adding that her three children were regular visitors at the office over the summer. Before joining the chamber, Ratcliff worked as a strategic communications consultant for 11 years and served as director of communications for the Broad Foundation. From 1999 to 2000, she was deputy director of communications for Vice President Gore and press secretary for the Democratic National Committee from 1997 to 1999. According to her LinkedIn profile, she was the DNC spokesperson during campaign finance and the Monica Lewinsky scandals. Gore issued a statement Wednesday night that said: “Melissa was an integral part of our team in the White House. A loyal and dedicated colleague, her counsel, foresight and determination were indispensable. All of us who worked with Melissa send condolences to her family.” Ratcliff lived in La Jolla with her children, Ava, Beckett and Serena, according to her biography on the High Tech High website. She served as a director on the San Diego school’s board. During last weekend’s La Jolla Art & Wine Festival on Girard Avenue, U.S. Bank sponsored a booth in honor of Ratcliff where La Jollans could express their condolences to her family. u — From U-T San Diego and La Jolla Light reports

Sewage spill Tuesday closes beach at Children’s Pool

n estimated 5,000 gallon sewage spill occurred Tuesday, Oct. 14 at 1132 Prospect St. in La Jolla. The spill occurred when a sewer lateral became blocked causing sewage to flow southwest down Coast Boulevard. The sewage entered a storm drain which discharges to the beach at Children’s Pool, impacting the Children’s Pool beach and potentially impacting the surrounding coastline. The sewage spill began about 5 a.m. and

was stopped the same day around 8:45 a.m. Signs warning of sewage contamination are posted at Children’s Pool, South Casa Beach, and at other beach access points extending approximately 1,000 feet north and south of Children’s Pool. The signs will remain in place until samples confirm that water is no longer impacted. For more information, call Arian Collins with City of San Diego Public Utilities Department at (619) 527-3121. u

Labyrinth makers send message of peace across the sea By Jane Wheeler At low tide on Sunday, Oct. 12, the Bird Rock Artist Guild, La Jolla High School Interact Club, Splatter Art Club, and Bully Busters/Kindness Counts Club created a labyrinth in the sand at Law Street Beach and dedicated it to the Rotary Club’s 2014 Peace Initiative. Many community members came to experience the ancient spiral walking path and temporary art experience. At sunset, the path was lit with 200 luminaries. As guests listened to sounds of the healing harp played by Cheryl Angela, they walked the path to send out a message of peace across the sea. Located in the center of the labyrinth was a no-obligation donation jar to collect funds for Interact Club’s fall project — building its 21st home in Mexico for an impoverished family. The donations will be used to

purchase building materials. Interact is an action-oriented community service club tied to the La Jolla Rotary to foster ambitious volunteerism and leadership development. Peace is one of Rotary International’s six “Areas of Focus.” On the regional level, Rotary District 5340 (San Diego County and part of Imperial County) promotes peace primarily through a Model UN program for high school students. The Rotary MUN initiative takes place over several months preparing for a weekend mock UN session in San Diego. More than 150 students participate. The district’s Peace Initiative committee is developing new projects. To become involved, contact Cal Mann at Calmann@ me.com LJHS Splatter Art Club members came to the beach to learn how to create improvisational art. At the labyrinth, they

For more information, call the school at (858) 459-4211. Filling the air with the aura of PEACE was healing harpist Cheryl Angela, who played the harp in the frequency of love (528 Hz) and the frequency of peace (432 Hz). Scientists are now studying the effects of sound frequency on healing. Angela performs throughout San Diego and is a regularly featured artist at The Chopra Center.

Farewell Maitre D!

Restaurant sale marks the end of fanciful dining era

Maitre D restaurateur Louis Zalesjak poses with closing-sale items in the dining establishment he has owned and operated in La Jolla for the past 32 years. Susan DeMaggio

or most of his 79 years, Slovenia-born Louis Zalesjak has been on the giving side of the hospitality business, attending to the needs of the rich and famous in tony hotels and restaurants around the world. Now, as he eyes retirement in Monte Carlo, “I’m going to be on the other side,” he winked. “I’m going to get!” During last-minute preparations for a liquidation sale Oct. 9-12 at his beloved Maitre D restaurant in La Jolla, Zalesjak paused to reminisce. He said he closed the restaurant Sept. 20 and sold the two-story building at 5521-5523 La Jolla Blvd. for $2.34 million to “a Belgian national,” not knowing the new owner’s plans. (The San Diego Daily Transcript reports the new owners “have begun actively looking for a new upscale restaurant to lease up the space.”) He pointed to hundreds of photographs along the walls, recalling the scientists, doctors, mayors and movie stars who dined there in privacy and Old Worldstyle over the past three decades. “Many of my customers became my friends; they made dinner reservations for 8 p.m. and stayed well past midnight,” he said. “They loved my Steak Diane and Bananas Foster flambéed tableside. Those were very good times. This restaurant was my life.” Next to the tables filled with the vases, goblets, silverserving pieces, domed platters and works of art priced to sell, stood a glass cabinet full of trinkets. “Those items are gifts from grateful guests and are not for sale,” Zalesjak said. “I’m taking some of the memories with me.” u

VIP preview kicks off ‘Gauguin to Warhol’ exhibit By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt On Oct. 1, in the Thornton Rotunda of the San Diego Museum of Art, 300 of the museum’s VIP donors gathered at a preview reception to celebrate the opening of “Gauguin to Warhol,” a selection of more than 70 masterworks of 20th century art from the AlbrightKnox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York. SDMA Executive Director Roxana Velasquez welcomed the guests to the preview. “We are creating the history for this museum,” she said. “We want to serve our community through art,

SDMA trustee Toni Bloomberg with executive director Roxana Velasquez and Sharon Pratt, and Andy Warhol’s famous soup cans. “This is one of the best shows I’ve seen in San Diego,” Bloomberg said.

and that’s what we’re doing with this magnificent show.” She introduced Douglas Dreishpoon, chief curator emeritus at the AlbrightKnox, who organized the exhibit. “I wanted to create a show that would highlight our museum’s collection,” he said. “And it’s interesting seeing the pieces here, in a new context, old friends having different conversations.” There are paintings and sculptures by more than 40 artists, including van Gogh, Picasso, and Jackson Pollack. But there are also impressive pieces by

less-familiar names, like Clyfford Still, whose huge abstract canvas dominates the back wall in the last room of the exhibit. The Albright-Knox owns the largest public collection of his works. Among the admiring viewers were Budd and Joanne Rubin. “If you go all around the world to different museums, they might not add up to what we have here,” he said. A must-see, beautifully mounted, “Gauguin to Warhol” will be at SDMA in Balboa Park through Jan. 27. Details at (619) 232-7931. SDMArt.org u

the beach during certain hours, on leash. Speaking in opposition, Chasan used video, comparisons to other dog beaches, and the LOLA proposal to illustrate her concerns. She showed video of dogs defecating on the beach without their owners picking it up (in some cases, walking right by); and timelapsed video of Marine Street Beach to show how many cars pull up to the entrance. Chasan also questioned the locals-only goal, pulling dog ownership data from the 2010 census and a study conducted by the Humane Society in 2012, which indicated people would drive 15 miles to get to a dog beach. “If we were even talking about a fivemile radius, (based on the data) we’d be talking about 50,000 dogs (a year),” she said. “If we are talking about 10 miles, we’d be talking 148,000 dogs. The whole 15 miles, we are talking about 321,000 dogs in this area.” Chasan also expressed concern that the off-leash area might end up on websites such as BringFido.com or Yelp.com With a possible spike in usage, Chasan brought forward other concerns, including health and safety standards (along with questions as to who would enforce compliance), maintenance, neighborhood impact and environmental impact. Other 24-hour dog beaches, such as the one in Ocean Beach, had high levels of bacteria that led to beach closures on a regular basis, according to the California State Library report “Dogs on the Beach: A review of regulations and issues affecting dog beaches in California,” which was included in the proposal. Regarding maintenance, Chasan said (quoting the LOLA proposal itself), that sand is often “difficult for municipalities to maintain and keep clean, often requiring special equipment.” The quoted material, which was also included in the proposal, came from a UC Davis report “Guidelines for establishment and maintenance of successful off-leash dog exercise areas.” The Davis study also suggests: “Locate the park so that it is not directly adjacent to residential property lines, to help

By Ashley Mackin During its Oct. 9 meeting, the La Jolla Town Council became the latest board to hear presentations on a proposed off-leash dog area in La Jolla. The proponent group, now calling themselves Limited Off Leash Access (LOLA) Beach Supporters, wants to see dogs able to run leash-free before 9 a.m. only on a defined part of one La Jolla beach (suggestions include Marine Street Beach or a portion of WindanSea beach) for a oneyear trial period. The proposal was also discussed at the Sept. 22 La Jolla Parks & Beaches meeting, where a detailed plan was distributed. Tackling concerns brought up in September, founding proponent Nancy Linck presented to the Town Council in a point/ counterpoint format. Barber Tract resident Cynthia Chasan spoke for the opposition. “We love our beach but we also love our dogs and we want our dogs to enjoy our beaches with us, in part with limited offleash activities,” Linck said. She responded to arguments against the plan as follows: 1) Too close to residences: The successful Dog Beach in Del Mar is also near densely populated residential areas. 2) Limited public parking: By not having public parking, outsiders would be deterred from using the leash-free dog beach, preserving it for La Jolla residents. 3) No vehicular patrol: The beach is already patrolled (when possible) on foot for offenses like drinking, littering and sleeping on the beach. 4) Not enough trashcans: While agreeing that more trashcans are needed, Linck argued the majority of trash comes from negligent beach users, not dog waste. 5) Danger to people: With a designated leash-free area, those who go to the beach in the early morning would be advised of the off-leash dogs. Should they be concerned with being approached, these residents could go to a different beach. 6) Scheduled cleanup: Linck said additional beach cleanup would not necessary, since dogs are already present on

decrease the chance of actual and perceived problems between park users and their neighbors.” One of the proposed areas lists rocks as natural barriers, which Chasan said are actually tidepools. “If a dog defecates on the beach and a high tide or rain washes it to the water, you are talking about decimating the life in the tidepools,” she said. Chasan said she also collected 561 signatures (as of the meeting date) of those opposed to the proposed location, with at 250 of them La Jollans. Insisting that she and other residents do not take issue with having dogs off leash, just the proposed location, she said she hoped the Town Council would “find an alternative site for these off-leash dogs … and consider keeping the rules (prohibiting off-leash dogs) in place without change.” Town Council president Steve Haskins said it would vote on the proposal as a consent agenda item at its next meeting, 5 p.m. Nov. 13 at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. The off-leash dog proposal now moves to La Jolla Parks & Beaches next meeting, 3 p.m. Monday, Oct. 27, at La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. u

By Ashley Mackin La Jolla Coastal Access & Parking Board (LJCAPB) continues to grapple with an easier-said-than-done dilemma: How to use $275,000 earmarked for a Village shuttle service to alleviate traffic congestion. The problem is trustees don’t see the idea as sustainable and the off-site parking lot in Bird Rock required to supplement the shuttle has since been developed. After a “disappointing” meeting with City of San Diego and California Coastal Commission representatives in September, the LJCAPB is back at square one. Members are trying to figure out how to bring a shuttle into La Jolla, per the terms of the La Jolla Parking and Transportation Fund, which was collected from developer fees in the 1970s and ‘80s and set aside for the project.

The board had hoped other alternatives would meet the intention of the governing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) without having to implement an “unsustainable” shuttle program. It submitted a list of alternatives of what to do with the money to La Jolla Coastal Parking & Transportation Fund overseer Meredith Dibden-Brown and Commission coastal program analyst Alex Llerandi. However, it was determined these ideas would not meet the terms of the MOU. LJCAPB member Sheila

Fortune said, “(They) kind of laughed in our face.” She added, “We could go put a shuttle (in place) and bus people in from outside the Village into the Village and just run it until the money runs out. The city would be happy, but we would not be happy.” LJCAPB chair Deborah Marengo said she was disappointed with the September meeting and concerned that the city was not willing to work with the board to find a solution amenable to all parties. One idea proposed at the

October meeting by member Tom Brady was to implement a service similar to La Jolla Community Center’s “Senior Express” program. This new service transports seniors around La Jolla through a livery system paid for through a grant left by benefactor Florence Riford. (La Jolla Light, Oct. 2). To evaluate the feasibility, LJCAPB announced it would ask someone familiar with the program to speak at its next meeting, 5 p.m. Nov. 11 at a location to be determined. LaJollaCPA.org/cap.html u

Mary Coakley-Munk shows the concept for the fenced off Map installation, with the hopes of making it a ‘destination.’ Ashley Mackin

La Jolla Shores readies for ‘Map’ repair project By Ashley Mackin Hoping to get one step closer to repairing the degraded educational “Map” display in Kellogg Park at La Jolla Shores (which has fallen into disrepair to the point the city blocked the area off for safety reasons) Friends of La Jolla Shores member Mary Coakley-Munk presented a concept for a new Map installation during the Oct. 8 La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) meeting. The Map, which is a visual representation of the canyons and sea life in the ocean at La Jolla Shores, is made of glass beads in various shades of blue. It began to crack soon after the installation in 2008. The city roped off the area in 2012. Coakley-Munk showed a mock-up of the new design, which involves fencing in the Map to make it a “destination,” using unobtrusive protection around it. One entrance would be built in, so those wanting to walk on The Map still could, but those on their way to the beach would pass around it. The fencing would be no more than three feet high, designed so it could be seen through to protect the views. “As a thoroughfare, people would walk over it without knowing what it was, and the filth that was carried onto it (was too much),” said Coakley-Munk. To guide Map-viewers to the designated entrance, walking paths would also be built (likely from decomposed granite), with additional paths built to lead visitors to the adjacent restroom and to the boardwalk. Coakley-Munk said the path component could possibly be completed as an Eagle Scout project. As for the Map itself, Coakley-Munk said she is hoping the new installation will be made with LithoMosaic, colorful, durable tiles that would recreate the same visual effect with less maintenance. Negotiations between Friends of La Jolla Shores and Map contractor T.B. Penick are ongoing, with both parties eager to find a solution for the Map’s repair, which was necessitated after T.B. Penick’s sealing agent Lithocrete failed. Friends of La Jolla Shores filed suit last year after T.B. Penick refused to fix the Map. Hoping to avoid litigation, the two parties have been meeting to mediate. “We want to make sure we have approval from (LJSA) in terms of what (T.B. Penick is) asking for, so we can move forward,” Coakley-Munk said, noting her presentation was for the new concept and that more formal presentations would be coming soon. A motion to approve the concept was approved 11-0-2.

In other LJSA news: n Avenida de la Playa update: A decision on whether city crews can proceed with requested night work for the Avenida de la Playa Infrastructure Replacement project and Group Job 809 is expected in the coming weeks. Plans call for replacing sewer mains that run down the middle of the street, so portions of Avenida de la Playa must be closed, drawing ire from merchants concerned with keeping their businesses open in the midst of daytime construction. A survey went out to residents within 500 feet of the proposed night work, and feedback is being gathered, said Steve Lindsay, Senior Construction Engineer for the City of San Diego. “We’re hoping to see something soon,” he said. The portion of the project already underway — on Avenida de la Playa at Camino Del Sol up to Calle de la Plata for the completion of the storm drain installation — is on schedule, Lindsay said, and that Camino Del Sol should be open in early to mid-November. In the meantime, with traffic diverted away from Avenida de la Playa, Dennis Rush of the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club requested signs be installed indicating there is construction ahead, cautioning drivers to slow down. “Now that a considerable amount of traffic has moved north (as a detour), there are three streets that intersect — Vallecitos, Camino Del Sol and Ave de la Ribera — and nobody stops,” he said. “When there was no one there, it wasn’t an issue. But it might become a safety issue that I would hate to see happen.” n New member seated: Filling the vacancy left with the passing of LJSA member Sue Geller, the board sat Shores resident Jenny Feinberg as a new member. “I look forward to being a participant in (efforts to) bring more business to the community and discuss traffic issues … and I welcome any suggestions to beautify La Jolla Shores,” she said. n Fall Fest coming: The La Jolla Shores Merchant’s Association annual Fall Fest will be 4-7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 22 along Avenida de la Playa. There will be activities for children (who are encouraged to come in costume) and a passport for adults that will grant something from each participating business. Passports are $7 in advance, $10 the day of. u — La Jolla Shores Association next meets 6:30 p.m. Nov. 12 at 8840 Biological Grade, Scripps Institute of Oceanography. LJSA.org

trends & events Adelaide’s continues to support local La Jolla community On Wednesday, Oct. 22, Adelaide’s is partnering with The Gillispie School and Warwick’s for a fundraiser as a way to give back to the school and community. Even after 78 years in business, Adelaide’s never seems to stop giving. “Throughout the year, we select various different organizations to support, and some of this support is as simple as providing an arrangement or gift card for an event they have already established to raise money,” said Jerry Parent, Adelaide’s vice president and general manager. “This year I wanted to help the local schools and reached out to several about a day where parents, family and friends of children in these schools could come to Adelaide’s, shop for fall or Halloween, and we would donate 20 percent of sales back to the school. In this process, I was approached by Gillispie, as they had already set up a similar day at Warwick’s.” The Bishop’s School and Stella Maris Academy have also accepted the invitation to shop on that day at Adelaide’s to benefit their schools. Adelaide’s, known for their floral arrangements, also has a very large store of home decor, permanent botanicals and gifts. The store is located in La Jolla at 7766 Girard Ave., and the online store is always open at www. adelaides.com. “We have brought in extra merchandise this year – all with a fall or Halloween theme to them,” Parent said. “People can also plan ahead and order their Thanksgiving and holiday arrangements or schedule a meeting for us to come out and discuss holiday decorating at their home or office. We will donate 20 percent of those purchases as well.” With a long tradition of giving back to the community, Adelaide’s has already partnered with the Ronald McDonald House Charities, Lawyer’s Club of San Diego and Las Patronas through various promotions this year alone. “I think it is every business’ duty to give back in any way that they can,” Parent said. “While we need to run a business that is profitable, we also need to remember that those that support us often need support themselves for their various charitable activities. While we can’t do all, unfortunately, we do try and include a new organization each year that can benefit from a fundraiser.” For more information, call Adelaide’s at 858-454-0146 7766 Girard Avenue www.adelaides.com

Warranty, equipment and care set Family Auto Service apart By Marti Gacioch Family Auto Service’s 3-year 36,000-mile warranty on all parts and labor sets them apart from other auto repair/service centers. “Most auto repair shops offer just a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty, but ours is a national warranty,” said owner Rob Rowsell. “We’re part of a network of other auto repair shops, so our customers will be taken care of anywhere in the United States.” Family Auto Service is the go-to place for customers seeking an oil change, smog certificate, brakes, alignment, tune-up or regular scheduled maintenance. Every repair that Family Auto Service does is linked to a CarFax Report that can prove vital for customers when they want to sell their car — a history of all their repairs and maintenance is included in the report. “The quality of the technicians and parts we use also sets us apart,” Rowsell said. “We use OE (original equipment) specification parts or better.” The company’s high-quality diagnostic equipment is among the best in the repair industry, he said. “Today’s vehicles are highly sophisticated and what used to be the best of the best scan tools and diagnostic equipment is now mediocre; you really have to invest in elite diagnostic tools

Rowsell said he has been involved in the auto repair/service industry all his life and it’s been his full-time career for 30 years. He grew up learning the industry while working at his father’s shop in Arlington, Mass., and came up in the industry by working as a service advisor for other auto repair facilities for many years. After his father relocated to El Cajon, Rowsell learned that his father’s associate was selling his shop in Alpine, so Rowsell bought his first auto repair shop 11 years ago. In 2010, he bought his second shop, Bob Bowens Auto Service in La Mesa and opened his third shop, Family Auto Service in July. “We have a great team, including our general manager Kevin Schuger and six technicians, three service advisors and an office manager,” Rowsell said. u

Jackson Design celebrates milestone anniversary with 25 acts of giving The Challenged Athletes Foundation will hold its annual Triathlon Challenge Sunday, Oct. 19 at La Jolla Cove. One of the many teams supporting the cause is local remodeling firm Jackson Design and Remodeling (JDR). The CAF event is one of 25 charitable acts JDR will participate in this year to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

It’s been such a rewarding experience and we’ve all become closer as a team as a result of getting out there and putting our heads and hands to work to support these incredible organizations.” This isn’t the company’s first charitable

Fixing a Hole

Town Council listens to ins and outs of opening Children’s Pool sluiceways By Pat Sherman hey’ve been referred to as “sluiceways,” “sluicegates” and, in one City of San Diego report, “underdrains.” By any name beach access advocates are again urging city officials to open these four, long-sealed rectangle openings in the south end of the seawall (breakwater) at Children’s Pool/Casa Beach. Opening the sluiceways is one proposed method of cleaning and removing excess sand there contaminated by nearly two decades of excrement from the seal colony (a remedy largely favored by beach access advocates). During its Oct. 9 meeting, the La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) considered pros and cons of the proposal, as presented by coastal access advocate Melinda Merryweather, and countered by Adrian Kwiatkowski, executive

director of the Seal Conservancy of San Diego (formerly Friends of the La Jolla Seals). Beach access advocates — including members of the group Friends of the Children’s Pool and the La Jolla Parks and Beaches (LJP&B) city advisory group — are emboldened to move forward with their request by the California Coastal Commission’s (CCC) August vote to close Children’s Pool beach entirely during the seals’ five-month pupping season (Dec. 15May 15). As part of its approval, commissioner Martha McClure added a condition that the City of San Diego study the feasibility of cleaning the water and sand at Children’s Pool — possibly by dredging the beach or

OPINION

La Jolla should consider memorial to crash victim We have all been so affected by the tragic accident that resulted in Ms. Melissa Bonney Ratcliff’s death last week on Girard Avenue. I didn’t know her, personally, but her untimely passing is a reminder of the slim probability of tragic, unforeseeable possibilities occurring at any moment and manifesting into reality. As a mother, I feel so deeply for her children. As a member of the community, I feel we should look at our parents and grandparents and try to balance their desire for independence and mobility with the reality of their present faculties and individual situations. I hope that maybe we can commemorate Ms. Ratcliff with a sculpture, a rosebush or small mural at the site of her death … something to remember her by. May she rest in peace and may her children be well cared for. Yasmine Aldana La Jolla

Setting the record straight on history of Children’s Pool How is it possible there is so much misinformation out there? This is in response to a letter written in the Oct. 9 La Jolla Light issue about opening the sluicegates in the seawall at Children’s Pool. Children’s Pool has a name: it is the Children’s Pool. Casa Beach is south of the Pool. The wall is not at Casa Beach, it’s good to know what you are talking about. The writer went on to say we have so many swimming pools in La Jolla that the need has passed for a safe place to swim in the ocean! Really? The writer also says the pool is now serving other communities. I have no idea what those other communities are doing in the pool. Yes, snorkeling goes on at the pool. It is one of the reasons for the pool. Snorkeling, as we know it, started at the Children’s Pool around 1943 — it was one of the most famous diving spots in all of California. We know the cost to open the gates, the city did a study with taxpayer money to see if it was possible, and yes it is. The price in 1989 was $30,000. We are now finding out what that would cost today, and perhaps if the city cannot afford to clean the sand, we as a community will. The writer goes on to say before 1931 the seals favored the beach at Seal Rock, but there is no beach at Seal Rock, and there were no seals in La Jolla in 1931. Then the writer further goes on to say when the wall was built the seals came to the pool. Also not true. Since the 1950s, there were a few seals around but the real rush to the pool was around 1990. The letter was indicative of how much misinformation is out there. It is this kind of thinking that has given us this mess at the Children’s Pool — one of the most wonderful gifts a community could have been given. I do so miss my beautiful beach. The good news is the seals get the pool for five months and the children have been given the pool for seven months, but as directed by the California Coastal Commission, the beach and water need to be cleaned for the children. We cannot invite them to come play in the sand and water in the condition it is in, so we

as a community are trying to find out what is the best way to clean the sand from 20 years of seal poop. It could be opening the gates or it could be to just remove dirty sand. I have to say my favorite line in the letter was, “If we clean the beach, our property taxes will go up.” Melinda Merryweather La Jolla

Weigh the cost of opening the sluices at Children’s Pool Here we go again. Seal advocates use the same stale arguments to justify their positions. Do they not know that the basic issue has been settled? The seals get the pool for five months, mid-December to mid-May; the people have it for seven months. The argument about children not needing the Children’s Pool anymore is spurious. Their thesis is that contemporary La Jolla has “thousands of swimming pools,” and so the Pool is no longer need for children to swim in. As a matter of curiosity, I looked at Google Earth aerial photographs of La Jolla. I looked at two areas, one encompassed by Pearl Street to Nautilus and the Pacific Ocean to Fay. I looked for little square blue areas: swimming pools. There were four in this area. Next I looked at La Jolla Shores, the area bounded by Torrey Pines, Scripps and La Jolla Shores Drive to the Pacific. I found 11 swimming pools in this area. That can hardly be called “thousands.” Further, the Pool before the seal invasion could have been used by any of the 3 million

San Diego County residents or the hundreds of thousands of yearly visitors to San Diego. The issue is not one of just La Jolla kids, but residents and visitors as well. The issue of the sluiceways is one of maintaining water quality with the city’s new, shared Pool use policy. The five months for seals/seven months for humans was seen as a viable solution to a seemingly intractable problem. The challenge to the city is how to keep the beach suitable for seals yet make the sand and water safe for humans. The only viable, cost effective, option is to periodically open the sluiceways. There are original construction drawings detailing the sluicegates. The City recently retained a private contractor to verify location and presence. There are also recent photographs from the sea showing the closed sluicegates. The gates were completed to about mean lower low water. The gates, themselves, are overlain by approximately 11 feet of concrete. Opening the sluicegates would be inexpensive. The challenge is installing new sluicegates. Such sluicegates could be opened on the yearly highest high tides from mid-May to the end of June, after pupping season. These high tides all occur in the early to late evening, well after the beach should be cleared of humans. The gates need only be opened for several hours on either sides of high tide. When a foot or so of sand was washed to sea they could then be closed. The sand and adjoining water should then be safe for humans. There would still be a beach for seals to occupy in December, when it was their turn to use the beach. David W. Valentine La Jolla

Our READERS WRITE

San Diego and California state laws allow dogs on beaches I read with interest Kaia Gantzel’s letter in the Oct. 9 La Jolla Light. Her question: “Why does California state law 7985.1 not allow animals on any beach designated for swimming or where lifeguards are present?” implies that the law prohibits animals on beaches. This is not correct. If one reads the rest of this two-sentence regulation it makes an exception for horses on designated equestrian trails and clearly indicates in its second sentence, “This regulation is not intended to prohibit or supersede any local ordinance now in effect or which may be enacted.” The City of San Diego, as well as numerous other cities in California, allows dogs on the beaches in accordance with local regulations. I also noted with interest that the 12-year-old USA Today article quoted focuses mainly on dog waste issues in Florida, Virginia and a river in Idaho. Reading on in this article the writer points out the impact of birds, at many California beaches and perhaps our own: “Even where dogs aren’t the prime offenders, they’re one of the few polluters authorities have control over. At many California beaches, for example, seagulls and other birds are most responsible for high bacteria levels. But federal laws protect birds.” It should always be the responsibility of all dog owners to clean up after their dogs regardless of where the waste is deposited. Chuck Marsh La Jolla

Cure for the leaf-blower blues This idea is simple and effective. I know it works because I accomplished this myself without any new laws, without breaking any laws or societal norms. Early this summer I asked the people who do our gardening to please not use a leaf blower in our yard as the dust got all over everything.

They said yes! They have not used a leaf blower since. So I suggest for the betterment of La Jolla, please ask your gardener to stop using a leaf blower. Rental homes, condos and apartments, if you ask your employees or gardeners to stop using leaf blowers, they will stop. Renters ask your landlords or their gardeners to stop using leaf blowers. I truly believe if you ask the people who work for you to cease using leaf blowers that they stop using leaf blowers. I’m guessing that in order to make you, their customer, happy, they’ll stop. If they don’t, hire someone else. A drop in the use of leaf blowers means less noise, dust, air pollution and climate disrupting emissions. Menace mitigated. John Dowd La Jolla

First Amendment protects name of Christmas Parade This is a response to the superlative letter by J.E. Ward in the Sept. 18 La Jolla Light issue. What was La Jolla’s beginning? Two centuries ago, a group of distinguished men (philosophers, doctors, artists and scientists) predominately of one religion, established a mini paradise and an aura of charm that gave La Jolla a precedent. Today, La Jolla enjoys diversity. However, the town has a right to preserve its beginning philosophies. Let me quote the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; abridging the freedom of speech.” Therefore, atheists and agnostics have no right to assassinate our villagers’ rights under this amendment. Kudos to Mr. Ward for stepping up to the plate and hitting a grand slam! Now, let’s keep the charm alive and the Christmas Parade as nothing but that … the Christmas Parade. William Wyatt La Jolla

Public officials should keep their personal opinions private This is my first-ever “letter to an editor,” but I felt compelled to weigh in on San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Cindy Marten’s comments as a “private citizen” to rename the La Jolla Christmas Parade, citing inclusiveness, especially since she was appointed as the superintendent of the second largest school district in the state without any community or public input. I agree with the letter from Eleanor Mosca in the Oct. 2 issue of La Jolla Light that school administrators should not teach intolerance and exclusion based on their personal opinions and beliefs — this has no place in the public education system. u Sandra Nobile La Jolla

New public restroom opens at Black’s Beach By Pat Sherman A small dedication ceremony was held Oct. 10 for a new public restroom perched just above the southern edge of Black’s Beach, near the bottom of a paved access road leading down from the intersection of Black Gold and La Jolla Farms roads. The restroom is open to the public from sunrise to sunset. A separate bathroom at the facility is accessible to lifeguards only. The new facility also includes a storage shed for lifeguard emergency equipment and trash and recycle compacting machines, similar to those located on the UC San Diego campus. The $300,000 project, a partnership between the City of

La Jolla Town Council From Town Council, A24 opening the sluiceways to flush the sand. “The children are welcome now at the pool, and actually get it for seven months, (but) we can’t ask these children to play in the sand, to make castles in the sand. It’s a cesspool,” Merryweather said, noting that she first asked the city to open the sluiceways 23 years ago. Repeated requests made by her and LJP&B have fallen on deaf ears, she said. Merryweather, a member of LJP&B, said the group is asking the city to open the sluiceways “sooner than later.” “I would like to see it done by May 15 (2015), when the children are allowed to return for seven months,” she said. However, Kwiatkowski noted that the CCC’s directive to the city was study the feasibility of cleaning the sand and water (and providing access for people with disabilities) during a five-year pilot pupping season closure, then report its findings to the commission at that time. Just as with the Seal Conservancy’s proposal to close the beach during pupping season, a proposal to open the sluiceways would have to make its way through the city’s “rigorous, multi-year” approval

San Diego, San Diego lifeguards and the Black’s Beach Foundation, was paid for entirely with unrestricted, nonstate university funds. The environmentally friendly facility includes rooftop solar panels that power low-voltage lights and security cameras. Safdie Rabines Architects prepared renderings and documentation for California Coastal Commission approval. Addressing a group of about 30 people shuttled down to the restroom, District 1 City Council representative Sherri Lightner called Black’s Beach “one of the premier surf breaks in the state.” “I’m very pleased that UCSD and the city have been able to work together over the years to ensure that Black’s Beach

process, receiving buy-in from the city’s development services department and planning commission, city council, mayor, coastal commission staff and, finally, the CCC itself, Kwiatkowski said. Merryweather noted a 1989 feasibility study conducted by Testing Engineers-San Diego, which showed the sluiceways (now largely buried beneath decades of sand buildup) could be opened with the assistance of divers using underwater cutting equipment on the ocean side of the wall. The report noted that care must be taken to prevent disrupting red, silty sand material on the inside of the wall, which, if disrupted, could undermine the wall’s integrity. At the time, opening the sluiceways was estimated to cost just shy of $30,300. “We all paid for this study as taxpayers,” Merryweather said. “They had the money for it … from transient occupancy taxes, they were going to open the sluiceways, resurface the top of the wall and replace the railings and they never did it.” (A city report shows a portion of the handrail was replaced prior to 2003). Kwiatkowski said more than a decade after the city’s last assessment of the wall (2003), it is in sorry shape. “It’s unlikely that the structural integrity of that wall today would survive reopening the sluiceways,” he opined. Kwiatkowski noted that Hiram Savage, the engineer hired by the late La Jolla benefactress Ellen Browning Scripps to construct the wall, had the sluiceways sealed off in March 1931, two months before the wall was completed. “He and his engineers noticed that the sand level of the pool constantly fluctuated with the ebb and flow of the tide when the

has lifeguard coverage and is a safe destination for all who come to visit,” she said, noting that prior to the new lavatory being built the nearest public restrooms were either at La Jolla Shores or the Torrey Pines Gliderport. Although the public is encouraged to use the facility, Brian Gregory, UCSD’s Assistant Vice Chancellor for Strategic Campus Resource Initiatives, confirmed that there are no plans to add signage on the beach alerting beach-goers that there is a restroom just a short walk up the blacktop path. “The community down here seems to know about anything that goes on down here,” Gregory told La Jolla Light. “I can’t imagine we’d want to add a bunch of signs on the beach. … We’d have to talk to the Coastal Commission about that.” u

sluiceways were open,” Kwiatkowski said, noting Savage’s further observation that “ ‘a strong suction pool caused by the water running in the sluiceways and then receding made it difficult for the pool to have an even sandbar.’ ” Kwiatkowski said opening the sluiceways would wash away the beach that Merryweather and others so cherish. “You can’t have it both ways,” he said. Although Merryweather and several others at the meeting noted that it was Scripps’ expressed intent that the beach be used for the benefit of children (codified when the state deeded the wall back to the city in the 1930s), Kwiatkowski and Seal Conservancy treasurer Jane Reldan mirrored the sentiment of coastal commissioner Dayna Bochco, who in August noted that times and the use of the beach have changed since the 1930s. “Nature doesn’t always follow humans’ desires,” Kwiatkowski said. “You have the only beach south of Ventura County on the California mainland where seals give birth to their pups. … I think that’s something that we should be protecting and applauding, and not trying to undermine.”

In other Town Council news n More money for Children’s Pool Walk: Phyllis Minick, the dynamo behind the Children’s Pool Walk beautification project that once seemed like it had only a dismal chance of being funded, reported the possibility of receiving substantial, additional city money to complete the project. Reading an e-mail from the city’s assistant director of Park and Recreation, Andy Field,

Minick noted that the Park and Rec department has “requested and been preliminarily approved for (more than) $360,000 in La Jolla development impact fees for the Children’s Pool Walk project.” Field’s e-mail went on to explain that the “funds will be reviewed over the next few months and, if all goes well, will go before the city council for approval early next year.” The city has already approved $75,000 for the project, which also received a pledge of $200,000 from La Jollan Tom Morgan. Field’s e-mail also noted potential city funding on the horizon for the restroom replacement at La Jolla Cove known as the La Jolla Cove Pavilion project. “This is, I think, such a delight for this community if all this goes as spoken of — and you never know — but if it does our entire downtown Coast Boulevard will be improved,” Minick chimed. n Town Council to host crew of USS La Jolla: LJTC President Steve Haskins noted that the group’s next Sunsetter event will be an invitation-only reception for the crew of the USS La Jolla nuclear fast-attack submarine, 5:45-9 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21 at La Jolla Woman’s Club, 7791 Draper Ave. After 33 years La Jolla’s namesake ship is being decommissioned, making its final voyage from its base in Pearl Harbor to the East Coast, with a stop in San Diego. The event will include a bar, appetizers by Girard Gourmet, a live funk band and a chance to meet some of the crew. The cost is $20.

La Jolla High School Strength and Conditioning coach Ryan Lennard shows form and focus during a rope exercise.

La Jolla High launches strength, conditioning program By Ashley Mackin tudents at La Jolla High — athletes or not — are on their way to becoming stronger. The school has a new program devoted to strength and conditioning, headed by coach Ryan Lennard. With it, thanks to the Foundation of La Jolla High, comes new weight-room equipment. The program, though common in colleges across the state, is not common in high schools. When it comes to athletes, “The No. 1 goal is injury prevention,” Lennard said. “Everything else, getting faster and more powerful, is really secondary. It doesn’t matter how big strong and fast you are, if you’re hurt, you can’t play.” Part of the program takes in-season teams and puts the athletes through a movement screening to see each individual’s alignment and to determine what areas they need to work on.

For example, “I’ll put them through a squat and see where their hips are in relation to their knees and ankles,” Lennard said. “I can see if they are leaning too far forward, that means they do not have enough strength in their gluteal muscles. If you’re not strong in your glutes but stronger in your quads, that predisposes you to an ACL injury. “It’s about balance and having equal strength all across the body. I can make that assessment and work on those problem areas so they will get stronger in certain areas.” As part of the training Lennard provides, he demonstrates techniques for muscle strengthening and then supervises the athletes to make sure their form is correct, and then other coaches implement the exercises daily in their warmups. Obviously, he joked, that could not be done with 800 students participating in

regular PE classes. The special goal for the general student population is to “undo the harm that takes places from sitting all day.” Foremost, he said, is hip flexor mobility. “Kids sit in class all day so their hip flexors get really tight from being in the flexed position. We get them out and stretch their hips and we do hip mobility exercises,” he said. Additionally, thoracic (chest) and spine mobility helps with posture. Because of the different abilities and strengths, Lennard said he is starting with the very basics and will progress throughout the year. “One goal is to get students ready to pass their Fitnessgram (a physical fitness test required by San Diego Unified School District for students in ninth grade) but I don’t have a set number of reps they should be able to do or anything,” he said. “It’s just to have them get stronger through the core and have better posture.”

The Girls Golf team continues its undefeated streak in the Western League with seven wins. At the La Jolla Country Club Sept. 30, the Lady Vikings overcame University High School, with low scorers Waverly Whiston at 36 and Madeleine Garay at 37. On Oct. 2, La Jolla defeated Scripps Ranch, also with low scorers Waverly Whiston at 37 and Madeleine Garay at 38.

When the La Jolla High School Vikings – who have split their season thus far at three wins and three losses – win, they win big. In their first victory of the season, they beat La Jolla Country Day 64-19. Their two other victories were 41-0 and 38-7 against Clairemont and Coronado, respectively. Aside from their 42-7 loss to Bishop’s, their narrow losses show they still have the fighting spirit, with a 55-52 loss to Fallbrook and 26-24 loss to West Hills. In their next home game, 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, the Vikings take on Madison High School, which also has a split season. A few weeks later, 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7,

Under the guise of new coach Drew Burdette, the girl’s volleyball team had a slow start in early September, but they continued steadily on to victory. According to MaxPreps.com, the Vikings won the best of three on Sept. 24, 26 and 27, and continued the streak Oct. 1, 3, 4 and 10. The ladies will participate in the SoCal Invitational this week. Their season closes Nov. 5 in a matchup against Scripps Ranch, but not before they take on The Bishop’s School Knights, 4:45 p.m. Monday, Nov. 3. u

By Ashley Mackin he La Jolla High School Viking teams are in full gear this month — the football team prepares for homecoming, girl’s golf remains undefeated and girl’s volleyball is picking up steam.

Girls Volleyball

Of the new program, La Jolla High Athletic Director Paula Conway said, “We are thrilled to have Ryan Lennard on staff to help support our students. He brings a wealth of knowledge about strength, conditioning and wellness.” Lennard coached wrestling at LJHS for nine years before earning his kinesiology degree from San Diego State in 2012. He worked at UCSD in its strength department and spent a summer at UCLA in its program. “I told Paula Conway before I left for UCLA that the school would really benefit from the strength and conditioning program (because) injury prevention is huge,” he said. “And for most of these athletes, when it comes to working out in the weight room, coaches tell them to go exercise on their own. The (coaches) teach as they were taught and they don’t always have weight room knowledge.” u

Splash Bash set for Sunday at Coggan Aquatic Complex

he 13th annual community-wide fundraiser “Splash Bash,” will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19 at The Coggan Family Aquatic Complex at La Jolla High School, 800 Nautilus St. at Fay Avenue.

From NAT Reports

an Diego Natural History Museum (theNAT) presents “The Discovery of King Tut,” a world-class exhibition that theatrically tells the story of Howard Carter’s discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922. It will be on display through April 26, 2015 in partnership with Premier Exhibitions, Inc. and Semmel Concerts GmbH. San Diego is the second U.S. market to host the exhibition, making this run its West Coast premiere. It features more than 1,000 breathtaking, scientifically produced replicas handcrafted by Egyptian artisans, allowing the public to enjoy the splendor of these priceless Egyptian treasures without harming the fragile, sensitive originals, which can only now be exhibited separately and are no longer permitted to tour outside of Egypt. “We are thrilled to bring this exhibition to San Diego for locals and visitors to enjoy,” said Dr. Michael Hager, president and CEO at theNAT. “Fresh off its European tour, The Discovery of King Tut is a unique and incredibly visually stimulating presentation of King Tut’s tomb as it was discovered in the 1920s. I’m confident each visitor to the exhibition will walk away amazed at what they’ve seen and learned about the iconic boy king.” Using faithfully recreated artifacts and state-of-the-art technology, the 9,500-square-foot the exhibition provides an unparalleled presentation not only of Carter’s experience entering the burial chamber for the first time, but also of 18th dynasty Egyptian history. Visitors will discover new worlds and new wonders while seeing King Tutankhamun’s tomb and treasures like never before. Tickets are $17-$27 at sdnat.org/kingtut and include audio guides (English and Spanish) that will give visitors a personalized tour of the exhibition. Visitors will also have access to all other exhibitions in the museum, along with 2D and 3D films in the giant screen theater, including, “Mummies 3D: Secrets of the Pharaohs.” Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily (closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day). 1788 El Prado in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Let Inga Tell You

So over it

La Jolla Cultural Partners

few years back when I wrote about our birds, I cautioned that one should never let kids get a pet with a longer life expectancy than yours. I really, really mean it. It all started when my older son, Rory, then age 9, talked me into a cockatiel. It was such a simple request. Sure, I said blithely, you can have a cockatiel. Who knew what far reaching ramifications that simple line would have. What I didn’t know I was really saying was, “Sure. I’d be glad to clean bird cages for the next 27 YEARS.” Rory is now 36 and married to a cat person in Santa Cruz. We still have birds. As for cage cleaning, I am so over it. While cockatiels can live to 30 years (and ours seemed destined to), it’s the children and grandchildren of the originals who have hung in there with us over the years. We also became an inadvertent avian social service agency for parakeets as neighborhood kids bought them as pets then quickly became bored with them. It was not unheard of to find an abandoned cage with bird – no note – on our front doorstep. Word gets around. Our bird population expanded as Rory talked us into buying “friends” for the

original one. While our cockatiel population technically lived in cages in the house, they were generally riding around on someone’s shoulder as they had all been hand-tamed by bird-whisperer Rory. But as their population increased, it was clear that we needed a different housing situation for them as a bunch of loose birds were producing an effect around the house that our cleaning lady perceptively termed “too much caca.” Besides, Rory wanted to try bird breeding which required that the birds not only be able to fly freely, but a nesting box as well. And so we had a 4x4 by 6 foot high cage built into our protected back porch and moved the birds outside. I wasn’t at all disappointed about this as the kids had a tendency to escape to their dad’s house and leave bird doody, er, duty to me. Rory’s bird breeding project succeeded waaay too well. The birds suddenly began hatching a new baby bird per week. We were starting to feel like our own personal Hitchcock movie. Threatened with an exponentially expanding bird population, we finally did wrest the nesting box from the aviary, leaving the birds nothing to do but sit on their perches looking horny and sullen (not unlike some other members of

the household at the time). The nice thing about an outdoor aviary is that it didn’t have to be cleaned daily. Still, a burgeoning bird population could cover that newspaper pretty fast. One thing you may not know about birds: they are phenomenal slobs. Seriously, they put teenagers to shame. Birds like to fling seed everywhere — outside the cage onto the patio and all over inside the cage as well where it becomes entombed in the poop below and thereby unrecyclable. At one point I estimated that out of every five-pound bag of birdseed I bought, only eight ounces actually ended up inside the birds. As I’ve remonstrated with them on more than one occasion as I shoveled up buckets of poopy seed, “Is this how you live in the wild? Throwing seed around like it grows on trees? I think not!” I admit we are hugely fond of the little guys. At this point, they’re family. We enjoy listening to their morning chirp-athon. But after 27 years, I am truly, profoundly sick of cleaning birdcages. When my husband Olof retired last year, he took over feeding the birds in the morning but the cage cleaning was still on

me. Besides changing the newspaper and sweeping up seed, we have a bunch of white PVC perch stands that Olof made for the birds which become encrusted in concrete-like bird excrement. Seriously, if there were ever a cement shortage, I can say with some authority that bird poop would be an excellent substitute. You need a fire hose to get that stuff off. Last Sunday morning I came out to the patio with my breakfast and the newspaper trying not to look at the seriously overdue cage that I promised myself I would clean right after breakfast. But a blinding light caught my eye. It was the glare of brand new newspaper on the bottom of the cage and the shimmery white of poop-less PVC pipe. Olof had cleaned the aviary for me. I don’t know whether it was self-defense or the ultimate act of marital kindness. But thank you, Olof. You just racked up two million irrevocable non-conflagratable husband points. And the gratitude of a wife who will never ever utter the words “sure, you can have a cockatiel” again. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light.

Beef and chicken Sosaties

The dining room at Peri-Peri.

South African flavors spice up dining at Peri Peri By Kelley Carlson he San Diego region is a hot spot for ethnic cuisine, and restaurants such as Peri Peri are turning it up a notch. Open since March 1, the South Africanthemed eatery is named for its signature fiery sauce, which was originally introduced to Portuguese explorers by indigenous Africans in Mozambique around the 15th and 16th centuries. First referred to as African Bird’s Eye Chili or pili-pili (“pepperpepper”), the Portuguese — who embraced the ingredient in their cooking — changed the name to peri peri. Owner William Sussman, who was raised in South Africa, wanted to introduce the flavors of peri-peri to San Diegans without losing the authenticity and traditions experienced by his family. And his goal is to keep the dishes simple, with a clear focus. “I’m very much a traditionalist — I believe firmly that the primary ingredient of the dish is the star of the show, whether it be vegetables, beef, lamb or chicken,” he said. Before diving into the dishes, patrons can warm up with an appetizer, soup or salad. One “must try” is the Prawn Bisque, featuring pieces of prawn and basil-infused croutons floating in a rich soup of heavy cream, sweet butter and spices. For the main course, guests will find

On The Menu Recipe n The Recipe of the Week is

Peri Peri Lamb Shanks Find it at the bottom of the online version of this story at lajollalight.com or visit www.bit.ly/otmrestaurants classic South African entrees, including the signature Prawns Peri Peri and the Chicken Peri Peri, both of which are cooked over flames. Another is the Sosaties, with pieces of grilled meat (beef or chicken) that alternate with slices of onion and apricot on a skewer — complemented by aromatic basmati rice and sides of vegetables such as asparagus, zucchini and peppers. Additional offerings include Boerewors, a traditional beef sausage flavored with coriander, cloves and other spices; Seared Salmon on a bed of couscous with roasted fennel and a red wine reduction; and Grilled Chicken Breast marinated in Dijon

mustard and red wine. Curries are yet another menu fixture, but patrons who come in on Wednesdays can order “bottomless” bowls for $25. The two “standards” are Natal Curry, a medium heat beef curry; and Saag Curry, a 100 percent vegan concoction with spinach, chickpeas and beans. In addition, there are three rotating varieties, which range from the creamy Chicken Tikka Masala and spicy Madras Lamb Curry to the Murgh Badami Curry, a smooth chicken curry cooked entirely in yogurt, and flavored with ginger, coriander and almonds. Sussman ensures there are always vegetable, lamb, beef and chicken curries available. For the meal’s final touch, indulge in Malva Pudding, a spongy, warm cake with buttercream sauce poured over it. To supplement its fare, Peri Peri offers international and domestic wines, with about half of the selections from South Africa. One that pairs well with most of the dishes is the 2012 Glen Carlou chardonnay, which is fruity and balanced with oak. Beer lovers can enjoy local brews on tap, such as Stone and St. Archer. If the San Diego Chargers are playing and the Bolts are winning, have your favorite drink in hand, as the next round is on the house if the team wins. u

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

‘The Royale’ puts tough choice to boxing pro making history Note: John Arthur “Jack” Johnson, nicknamed the Galveston Giant, was an American boxer, who — at the height of the Jim Crow era — became the first African American World Heavyweight Boxing Champion.

efore national sports teams welcomed players of different ethnicities, there was a time when African-Americans, and others, were shunned in baseball, football, boxing and other sports. The Old Globe tackles this subject in its production of Marco Ramirez’s “The Royale,” on stage through Nov. 2. Some people in history stood against intolerance. Jack Johnson did when he worked his way up to boxing in the big leagues and became the first African American Heavyweight Champion of the World in 1908. “The Royale” is based on his life story. We meet Jay (Robert Christopher Riley) in the ring as he’s about to begin a boxing match, his first professional fight. Referee and promoter Max (John Lavelle), leaves little to guess about when he roars, “And now, the fight you came for!” Lavelle steals a lot of this show.

Jay does a decent job pounding on his opponent Fish (Okieriete Onaodowan) and ultimately wins the fight. As he builds his self-esteem in the next few fights, Jay’s selfworth also grows. His trainer, Wynton (Ray Anthony Thomas), overlooks Jay’s symbolic pat on the back, and reminds him that his struggles are just beginning. “I see those gloves go down; I swear to god, son, you’re payin’ for dinner,” Wynton tells him. Nicholas Vaughan’s boxing ring set design on the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre stage works well for different beats of the story and the juxtaposition of the characters — especially when threats become a stumbling block to Jay’s journey. Promoters don’t want him to know (but Jay learns) that some white patrons have brought guns to the boxing matches — obviously with ill intent. His anger is more over the information withholding than the obvious danger these dangerous attendees present. Still, Jay continues on until the big day when he will fight for the World Heavyweight Championship. Physically, he’s in top shape, but as he’s talking with his crew, his sister Nina (Montego Glover),

Jay (Robert Christopher Riley) asks key questions of his trainer Max (John Lavelle) as Wynton (Ray Anthony Thomas) looks on in The Old Globe’s ‘The Royale,’ directed by Rachel Chavkin. Jim Cox steps up on the stage, staring at them all. She begins to recite moments of history, reflections of what dangers Jay faces, and more importantly, how he might be enticing other young men to follow in his footsteps and create more situations where lives are in danger. Jay moves about the stage sluggishly, stopping in surprise when he reads something Nina hands him. Riley does a good job all through the play, but here, especially here. His bravado lessens as he heeds Nina’s advice, but his heart is set on

this win and its future. “In Memphis, somebody’s loading a pistol,” Nina says. Jay has only minutes to make up his mind — will he fight? u n IF YOU GO: “The Royale” plays Oct. 4-Nov. 2 at the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park.

La Jolla Art & Wine Festival brings fun in the sun

a Jolla hosted its sixth annual Art & Wine Festival Oct. 11-12 along Girard Avenue with organizers calling it the best yet. “I believe we saw about 50,000 people in attendance,” said festival founder Sherry Ahern. “The sidewalks, the stores, the restaurants and the hotels were all full and that was so gratifying to see. Adding the additional street was a big deal … the beer garden set a sales record. The family entertainment area was very well done, too. Hats off to all the people who helped and that includes the volunteers, the schools and Mother Nature because the weather was spectacular.” Ahern said final figures were being tabulated. Proceeds will be used to support arts and science programs at Bird Rock, Torrey Pines and La Jolla Elementary Schools and Muirlands Middle School. u

The event, a fundraiser for the BraveCort Foundation, a nonprofit that raises money for pediatric brain cancer research and awareness, netted about $20,0000, organizers said. In addition, Geppetto’s Toys is donating 10 percent of sales during La Lolla Art & Wine Festival weekend to BraveCort. BraveCort was founded by La Jolla Art & Wine Festival co-organizer Andrea Dahlberg, who lost her young son, Cort, to brain cancer several years ago. Each day, an average of 13 children in the United States are diagnosed with a brain tumor. BraveCort.com u Photos by Pat Sherman

sponsored columns A recent study conducted by researches at Penn State University and published in Social Science & clinical psychologist Medicine found significantly and consistently 858.750.6669 lower levels of cortisol, a hormone released in response to stress, in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared with when they were at home. Researchers taught the participants to study reveals home may be test their own cortisol levels six times a day as well More stressful than Work as report where they were, how stressed they felt, In general, when most people think about stress, and how happy they were. The majority of subjects had, on average, lower levels of cortisol at they imagine the workplace – demanding bosses work than at home, regardless of what their with last-minute requests, needy clients, difficult occupation was, whether they were married or co-workers, the piling up of emails and single, or even if they liked their job or not. voicemails, etc. But even for those with a happy While both men and women showed less stress family life, the home can oftentimes feel more at work, women were more likely to report they were feeling happier there, while more men taxing than work.

stephen pfeiffer, ph.d.

reported they were happier at home. Researchers say this may be a result of women still being the primary care-givers at home, responsible for most of the daily household duties. But experts speculate there are several reasons why people may feel less stress at work. “Paid work is more valuable in society,” says Sarah Damaske, assistant professor of labor and employment relations, sociology and women’s studies at Penn State. “Household work is monotonous and not particularly rewarding.” Damaske also goes on to say that we are more likely to feel appreciated at work while many of our efforts at home may go unnoticed. There is also a behavioral etiquette at work that carries a certain level of respect for others, while at home, stress and frustration is often contagious.

One important take-away from these findings is that it is critical to address and properly deal with any issues we may be having at home. At work, we are forced do deal with problems because of supervisors, deadlines, and simply the fact that we are being paid to do so. While at home, however, it may be easier to sweep growing problems under the rug; we convince ourselves that we will deal with them later, maybe when there is more time. But our home and family should be our sanctuary, a place where we feel loved, supported, and where we can relax and unwind from our busy day. If you are feeling an inordinate amount of stress – at work or at home – please don’t hesitate to contact me at Stephen@PfeifferPhD.com or at my website www.pfeifferphd.com.

‘Freud’s Last Session’ is with C.S. Lewis at North Coast Rep By Diana Saenger Although famous for different reasons, Sigmund Freud (Austrian father of psychoanalysis) and C.S. Lewis (British literary scholar and author of “The Chronicles of Narnia” series) were intelligent, unique and left a mark on society. The North Coast Repertory Theatre presents an intriguing look at these personalities in the San Diego premiere of the two-actor play, “Freud’s Last Session,” written by Mark St. German and directed by David Ellenstein. It opened off-Broadway in 2011. When the drama begins, Freud (Michael Santo) is near the end of his life and to stir up some excitement, he invites C.S. Lewis (Bruce Turk) for a visit. He’s particularly annoyed because Lewis was once an atheist and is now professing to be a Christian. Santo (“Death of a Salesman,” “The Tempest,” “Tally’s Folly”) said he always wanted to play Freud and was delighted when Ellenstein offered him the role. “Freud is a wonderful part,” Santo said. “He’s brilliant and composed as both characters have to defend their positions in a very fun way. I know quite a bit about Lewis because I had a part in a play called ‘Shadowlands,’ about him and his relationship with Joy Davidman. She was an American poet who admired his work and went to England. They got married and this had him redefine his thoughts about faith.

C. S. Lewis (Bruce Turk) gets a stern talking to by Sigmund Freud (Michael Santo). Aaron Rumley

She ended up with cancer and died.” Freud invites Lewis over to find out why someone with his keen intelligence — who shared his convictions about not believing in God — would suddenly make an aboutface and believe in something he once rejected. “I didn’t know much about Freud with the exception of Montgomery Clift in the

1962 movie ‘Freud’ and the usual clichés people know about Freud,” Santo said. “To delve into his books is a major undertaking … there is a lot of dialogue in the play, and I started three months ago to learn it.” Freud was cantankerous and at age 83, he developed oral cancer. He had a big prosthesis stuck in the roof of his mouth due to an operation on his upper jaw and

pallet, so he was in a great deal of pain and spoke “funny.” “I do not wear a prosthesis in the play because it would be too hard to talk on stage,” Santo said. “However, when I think about the pain Freud was going through and that thing in his mouth … and if you see photographs … it gives you a queasy feeling in your stomach.” The two men mostly discuss the existence of God, but also love, war, religion, politics and life, along with the immense collection of Freud’s ancient artifacts with religious connotations, which are strewn all over his desk. “That is one of the things Lewis asks about … why are there religious objects on his desk when he doesn’t believe in God?” Santo said. “It’s wonderful to work with Bruce (“Titus Andronicus,” “Faded Glory”) as C. S. Lewis. We met in the mid-80s in ‘Much to do About Nothing’ at the Cincinnati Playhouse. He’s wonderful as in the role. “Audiences will be engrossed in the discussion; it’s one that everyone has and that will never die. But it’s up to each theater-goer at the end to judge on their own terms, who’s right or wrong.” u n IF YOU GO: “Freud’s Last Session” is on stage Oct. 15-Nov. 9, at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: CHAROLOTTE G. LYON CASE NUMBER: 37-2014-00033710-PR-PW-CTL To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of CHAROLOTTE G. LYON; CHARLOTTE LYON; CHARLOTTE G. LYON. A Petition for Probate has been filed by KATHLEEN MCGUIRE in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN DIEGO. The petition for Probate requests that KATHLEEN MCGUIRE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 11/20/2014 Time: 1:30 PM. Dept.: PC-2. Address of court: same as noted above. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner:

Protect your bosom buddies: Breast Cancer Awareness month

ere is a lineup of foods found to be the best arsenal against breast cancer.

Cruciferous Cavalry The invincible crucifers like broccoli, cauliflower, turnip greens, kale, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, arugula, the heady cabbage, the pungent horseradish and its Asian cousin wasabi are packed with indole-3-carbinol, which has been found to fake out ravenous cancer cells by transforming estrogen (cancer’s food source) into a more diluted, less appetizing form. Recent studies coming out of the Linus Pauling Institute have also shown that the phytochemical sulforaphane, contained in broccoli sprouts, a new super concentrated brassica, selectively seeks out and destroys the enemy without causing collateral damage to healthy cells. If that’s not enough, research in the U.S., Sweden and China establishes a strong link to higher rates of breast cancer and low cruciferous consumption. So crucifer up with a hearty helping of braised red cabbage, boy choy stir-fry, tangy broccoli slaw, a kale and quinoa chopped salad, balsamic glazed Brussels, and a heap of broccoli sprouts in wraps and on sandwiches and salads. One tablespoon of the latter has as much sulforaphane as contained in a pound of broccoli! Garlic Gladiators Belovedly nicknamed “the stinky rose,” garlic, especially in its raw form is packed with allicin, a potent sulfur compound that acts as a mighty shield against viruses, bacteria, inflammation, breast cancer cells and perhaps even the occasional vampire. Mushroom Militia Formidable fungi, including Portobello,

crimini, shiitake, maitake and reishi have a motherlode of immune boosting polysaccharides, along with lectin, a protein that keeps cancer cells at bay. Toss the mighty mushrooms into sauces, stews, soups, risottos, frittatas or sautéed with a splash of white wine and savory herbs as a topping for everything from pasta and burgers to grilled fish and chicken. Omega-3 Heroes Wild-caught, cold-water fish (please, no bottom feeders) with a goodly store of antiinflammatory omega-3 fatty acids are another defensive weapon against breast cancer. You can’t beat wild-caught salmon, sardines (with their Omega-3 and calciumrich skin and bones intact), herring (pickled in wine, not cream) and anchovies. Seaweed and other oceanic veggies are also treasure-troves of nutrients, especially the fatty acid chlorophylone, to knock cancer cells off their feet. Samurai Seeds For those who don’t do fish, opt for seeds and nuts, another rich source of omega-3s. Flaxseed is well-known as an excellent omega protector of healthy breasts, containing high levels of lignans and anti-inflammatory compounds. Pumpkin, sesame, sunflower and chia seeds also make the cut, along with nuts, especially almonds and walnuts. n FYI: La Jolla’s Brockton Villa will donate $1 to breast cancer research for each Berry Parfait “Pinked Out” purchased. Herringbone in La Jolla will pour Cashmere Red wine for the cause, donating proceeds to the Komen Foundation. u — For additional recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
