By Pat Sherman Though District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner and a representative from the Park and Recreation department told La Jolla Light this month that a second round of cliff cleanup in September had diminished pungent odors from bird guano at La Jolla Cove, La Jolla Village Merchants Association board
members refuted those claims during their Oct. 9 meeting. After more than a year kowtowing to environmental regulations, city officials finally contracted Blue Eagle Distribution to apply a bioactive foam to the excrement-encrusted Cove cliffs that digests the bird guano, leaving virtually no residue or runoff.
‘Partners in Grime’
By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Village Merchants Association at its Oct. 9 meeting voted unanimously to partner with the La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) on a new campaign to clean up the Village. “La Jolla has an international, national and local reputation for being beautiful and a great place to visit; we do not live up to that promise by any measure, anymore,” LJVMA board president Phil Coller said, introducing the community foundation’s executive director, Julie Bronstein. During her presentation, Bronstein said the goal of the project is to “ensure the cleanliness and attractive appearance of The Village, La Jolla Parkway and triangle which comes into Torrey Pines Road.” “Partners in Grime” will reach that goal by hiring a contractor to: See Partners in Grime, A5
Retired attorney Mark Evans, who has served as a liaison between the community and city and government officials to find a solution, said former Mayor Bob Filner, “basically plowed through … a lot of hemming and hawing among city officials.” “He issued an emergency declaration saying this has to be solved right away
because it’s a threat to public health and safety,” Evans said. “He took aggressive action and promised us that this was just an interim step, and that he was committed to finding a permanent solution. The first round of treatment (over the summer) actually helped,” Evans said.

Shores Association gears up for new comfort stations By Ashley Mackin La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) board member Mary CoakleyMunk addressed three points related to the comfort stations at Kellogg Park in her report during the group’s Oct. 9 meeting.
rendering at next month’s meeting.
South Comfort Station
North Comfort Station Though LJSA voted several times during the past few months on which materials would be used for the new North Comfort Station (construction of which is slated for early November and involves demolition of the current comfort station), yet another vote was called. The board originally approved using the same graffiti-resistant material to coat the exterior of the North Comfort Station that was used for the South Comfort Station. However, because the stone and roofing design approved for the South Comfort Station was selected to match nearby La Jolla Shores Hotel (to give a cohesive appearance), the board ultimately opted to have the new North Comfort Station designed with materials that would match its nearest landmark — the new lifeguard tower. At last month’s meeting, the board voted to approve the use of
The North Comfort Station will be demolished in November and rebuilt shortly after. regal-stone, so the exterior of the North Comfort Station matches the lifeguard tower, again, to show cohesion. LJSA also voted on a peaked, tiled roof for the station. Coakley-Munk said she met with roofers to determine what kind of tile would be most appropriate for the new North Comfort Station. Based on concerns related to bird droppings, the roofers suggested installing a low-slope roof (which does not have a peak and would not disturb the view) with a different material. Coakley-Munk said for the project to begin on schedule the plans should be complete and include the roof. The LJSA decided to call a special meeting to discuss the issue further and see station
renderings before voting. At the special meeting, which was held Oct. 14, the board voted to approve the low-slope roof with the material suggested by the roofers. Once the North Comfort Station is constructed, a tile “surfing safety” mural will be installed on the wall. President of the La Jolla Shores Surfing Association, Lorraine Schamalenberger, presented mural renderings to the group for feedback. Because LJSA was only approving a mural concept and not a draft image, the board asked that an image not be made public until something more formal is approved. Schamalenberger said the mural would be kept simple, minimizing language instructing surfers what

not to do and instead, focusing language on what they are allowed to do. The proposed design shows five waves, each with the image of a surfer and a suggestion on it, such as “Communicate: Give warning like ‘right’ or ‘left’.” Surf Diva instructor and board member Izzy Tihanyi said she has seen similar designs that work for people with short attention spans or those eager to get into the water. She also said, based on her experiences, people don’t understand that black-and-yellow checkered flags indicate a surfing area, and suggested this information be added to the surfing safety mural. The board will vote on an official
At the South Comfort Station, which has unisex toilet stalls and one vacant stall, Coakley-Munk reported that the City of San Diego intends to place a vending machine in the vacant stall, in accordance with the city’s concession contract. However, because the machine has yet to be installed, CoakleyMunk said she would prefer that an additional toilet be installed there, and asked LJSA to approve sending the city a letter making that request. The Friends of La Jolla Shores group would pay for the toilet, she said. Coakley-Munk requested an immediate vote on the letter because it would need to be drafted and sent to appropriate parties so that if approved, the additional toilet could be integrated into the construction of the North Comfort Station. The group voted 11-0-1 to write a letter to the office of District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner affirming it would like the space to house an additional toilet instead of a vending machine.

Bioengineer to speak about healing hearts The Shaffer Family Foundation Endowed Science Lecture Series at The Bishop’s School presents Karen Christman, Ph.D., associate professor of Bioengineering at UC San Diego, who will speak about “Healing the Heart with Biomaterials,” 6:30 p.m. Oct. 24. at The Bishop’s School Michael & Marlene Teitelman Science Center, 7607 La Jolla Blvd. Christman’s presentation will cover examples of biomaterials that are being used to treat heart issues with a focus on injectable materials, which have the potential to be delivered through a minimally invasive approach, thereby
requiring less recovery time and reducing risk to the patient. Her UCSD lab focuses on developing novel biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Projects include the development of materials for in vitro differentiation of stem cells to injectable biomaterials for tissue repair and regeneration. The lab has a strong translational focus with a goal of developing novel minimally invasive therapies for cardiovascular disease. This lecture is open to the community.

$ La Jolla Community Foundation Executive Director Julie Bronstein speaks to the La Jolla Village Merchants Association about a new ‘Partners in Grime’ effort to keep the streets of the Village clean and trash-free. Pat Sherman From Partners in Grime, A1 n Empty trash cans on city streets as often as needed. n Pick up litter on sidewalks, gutters and roadsides. n Strip and repaint tops of trash cans (where necessary). n Maintain clean trash can surfaces. n Power wash and wet vacuum sidewalks (where possible). n Remove graffiti and stickers. n Conduct weed abatement. Community members working on the project include Tom Cummings; LJVMA Director Sheila Fortune; La Jolla Town Council board president Cindy Greatrex; Community Foundation board members Andy Nelson and Matt Peterson; LJVMA board member James Niebling; and LJCF chair and La Jolla Light publisher Phyllis Pfeiffer. Bronstein said LJCF members and others in the community interested in keeping La Jolla clean and beautiful would fund the project. LJCF will first target key areas to assure the program’s efficacy before expanding to other parts of La Jolla. “Once this portion of the project is successful, then of course, we’d want to extend to the beach area, to Bird Rock, but this is the initial area where we see the most demand and the most interest,” Bronstein said, noting that LJCF members recently met
with the office of District 1 City Council representative Sherri Lightner, who expressed enthusiasm for the plan. LJCF will contract with one of two nonprofit community groups to do the work, Arc of San Diego or Partnerships with Industry. “They both have track records working with major organizations and corporations in town … (and) both provide (supervised) job training to disabled adults,” Bronstein said. Bronstein said the foundation is still weighing city and environmental restrictions as to where they may powerwash and wet-vacuum sidewalks. “It is our goal to do power-washing on a regular basis, whether that’s once a week or once every two weeks,” she said. Once the program is up and running, Bronstein said, LJCF will begin raising funds for its operation. “We really applaud (their effort),” Coller said. “The funds are coming from private individuals … and not businesses — although LJCF will happily accept donations from business owners. Businesses are as impacted, if not more so, by … overflowing trash cans, gum on the streets and dirty sidewalks.” Coller said he hopes LJCF’s “precipitous action” will bring others interested in polishing the Jewel to the table — including the City of San Diego. “It’s part of the city’s responsibility to keep our streets clean … and they just don’t do it,” he said.

Research Report LynnE Friedmann
‘WIFIRE’ developed to predict wildfire behavior
U
C San Diego researchers are building cyberinfrastructure to perform real-time data-driven assessment, simulation, prediction and visualization of wildfire behavior. Dubbed WIFIRE, the project will integrate satellite and real-time remote sensor data with computational techniques in visualization, modeling and data assimilation to provide real-time estimates on a wildfire’s rate of spread based on climate, wind speeds, topography, urban dynamics and fuel content. WIFIRE participants include three research organizations within UCSD: San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) Qualcomm Institute, and the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) department at the university’s Jacobs School of Engineering. Also participating in the project is the
University of Maryland’s Department of Fire Protection Engineering. When fully implemented, WIFIRE will enable users to access specialized web interfaces and user-specified alerts for environmental events broadcasted to receivers before, during and after a wildfire. The goal is better situational awareness, response and decision support. More information at http://bit.ly/18xTuDp
New map of insulin pathway A team led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) created the first comprehensive roadmap of the protein interactions that enable pancreatic cells to produce, store and secrete the hormone insulin. Within beta cells of the pancreas, insulin precursor proteins are synthesized, folded and processed into mature insulin that is secreted into the bloodstream when glucose levels rise. While researchers have
catalogued hundreds of individual proteins found within beta cells, it was unclear which of these proteins actually interact with insulin and therefore participate directly in the production, storage and secretion process. The TSRI study used antibodies to bind to early and late forms of the hormone in the synthesis/secretion process. By pulling insulin proteins out of the “soup� of beta cell molecules, these antibodies also isolated whatever proteins happened to have bound to the insulin—and thus presumably had functional interactions. Mass spectrometry identified both the insulin-interacting proteins within beta cells as well as differentiate “pro-insulin� proteins that seem to play a role in the early insulin-synthesis phase, versus mature insulin proteins that seem to function in the later stages of insulin storage and secretion. Findings are published in the journal Cell Reports. News release at http://bit.ly/18mQk6v
Fear of predators alerts honeybees behavior The life of a honeybee seems idyllic. Fly from flower to flower, collect nectar and turn it into honey. But honeybees live in a world filled with dangerous predators ready to ambush. Such fear drives bees to adopt different strategies when behaving as a colony versus acting as individuals.
Colonies exhibit more caution by avoiding food sources associated with dangerous predators. Individual bees take on more risk in their foraging behavior, pursuing sweeter food sources even in the presence of an aggressive predator. Collectively this helps honeybees exploit all of available food sources in a region. The insight came when UC San Diego biologists worked with scientists at Yunnan Agricultural University in China to study the impact on foraging Asian honeybees in the presence of the Asian Giant Hornet and a smaller hornet species. In a series of experiments, bees were presented with different combinations of safe and dangerous feeders — depending on their association with the larger or smaller hornets — containing varying concentrations of sucrose. Testing how bees respond when sweeter food sources was also more dangerous, they found that individual bees were more risk-tolerant. On the other hand, the colony as a whole avoided the Giant Hornet at the best food, but continued to visit lower quality food associated with the smaller hornet. Findings appear in the open-access journal PLOS ONE. News release at http:// bit.ly/15O53Ew Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

Helping You Plan Your Financial Future
by Janet Douglas
Pre-Approved or Pre-Qualified: What is the difference? Pre-qualification is usually just an informal discussion whereby a mortgage broker tells you from your description of your assets, what price range you can afford. It is not a commitment to lend to you. Whereas, a pre-approval means that the lender has actually done a credit report, reviewed your income tax returns, verified your employment, checked your bank and stock accounts, and is prepared to actually lend you money to purchase a home. They will formally write a letter stating how much you are approved to borrow subject to an appraisal on the home you choose. Pre-approval from a lender makes you a more attractive buyer to the seller when you find a home you want. If multiple offers come in and you find yourself competing with other buyers, pre-approval from a lender will make your offer stand out far above others. If you actually attach a copy of the account statement showing your down payment, your offer will even be more attractive.

Art and Wine Festival draws 50,000 visitors to the Village
A
n estimated 50,000 people attended the fifth annual La Jolla Art & Wine Festival Oct. 12-13, according to festival founder Sherry Ahern, that’s compared to about 30,000 last year. Ahern said the response was so positive that organizers are expanding the festival to add an additional block of Girard Avenue, bringing it all the way to Torrey Pines Road. The event, with the assistance of some 500 volunteers, raises money for La Jolla’s
public elementary schools and middle school. Last year’s festival netted $220,000 for the four schools. “The entertainment was fabulous, the weather was great and it was very well received,” Ahern said. “It’s the smoothest festival we’ve ever put on. I want to thank La Jolla and all of San Diego County for their support. … I know we did well for the schools.” — Pat Sherman n More photos at lajollalight.com

State commission denies appeal of Romney home rebuild The Romneys plan to demolish their 3,000-square-foot oceanfront home on Dunemere Drive and rebuild an 11,000-square-foot, two-story home with a pool, spa and subterranean garage. The motion to deny the appeal was made by San Diego County Supervisor and Coastal Commissioner Greg Cox, who said the project would be “very compatible” with other development in the neighborhood. “I think staff did a very good job of evaluating the issues raised by the appeal,” he said. “It seems like these people have played by the rules that are in place.” Commissioner Steve Kinsey, who seconded Cox’s motion, said the CCC needs
to “prioritize” how it spends its time. “Our staff says that they believe it’s consistent with the LCP (Local Coastal Program),” Kinsey said of the Romneys’ plans. “There’s much bigger challenges facing our coast.” However, in voting for the appeal, Commissioner Jana Zimmer said the project has broader implications for California’s coastline. Ciani, who once owned a three-story home kitty-corner to the Romneys’ property, contends that the former presidential candidate and his wife claimed ownership of the beach to inflate the size of the home they are allowed to rebuild. Ciani produced a map of the beach from the La Jolla
Community Plan which shows that the beach is owned by the city, though city staff and La Jolla land surveyor Michael Pallamary contend the Romneys own the beach up to the mean high tideline. “The question of whether a property owner can count areas of their lot that are clearly not buildable for purposes of calculating FAR (floor-area ratio) or … how large a house should be allowed in terms of mass, bulk and scale is a statewide issue,” Zimmer said, adding that how the state develops its coast and protects it from rising sea level during the next four decades will be a “huge issue.” “I’m kind of flummoxed at the

By Pat Sherman While last week the California Coastal Commission (CCC) ignored its staff’s recommendation to deny expansion of the San Diego Convention Center, the following day coastal commissioners sided with their staff by allowing a proposed rebuild of Mitt and Ann Romney’s La Jolla home to proceed — despite some strong words in favor of an appeal of the project. During a meeting held Oct. 11 at a Mission Valley hotel, the CCC voted 7-4 to deny an appeal of the project filed by architect and former La Jollan Anthony Ciani, stating that they found no substantial issues to warrant the appeal.

conclusion that there’s no substantial issue because the Local Coastal Program does not expressly prohibit counting unbuildable areas on the beach,” Zimmer said. “To me, that is a huge red flag. … The LCP clearly prohibits counting — for floor-area ratio purposes — other kinds of unbuildable area, such as canyons and gullies.” Zimmer said that at a coastal law conference some commissioners recently attended, they were told that the issue of where the mean high tideline is located is generally decided by the California State Lands Commission or a court — and not a land surveyor or city staff. “In this case we’re relying on city staff, city maps and their conclusions as to what those maps mean,” she said. Though the City of San Diego requires the Romneys to file a lateral beach access easement allowing the public “passive recreational use” of the beach in front of their home, Zimmer maintained, “There could easily be a dispute about the scope of recreational use that will be allowed under this access easement in front of this home. “Usually, lateral access easements presume that people will just be strolling across the property,” she said. “If this is supposed to be for passive recreation, then we need to ask, are people going to be asked to leave if they set down picnic blankets, if they put up a volleyball net, if they play Frisbee? … I think these are things that could be clarified on any permit that this commission would issue — and I think they need to be clarified, because it’s quite predictable … that a future owner would turn immediately to a very restrictive interpretation of what the public

is allowed to do in front of that house on the beach.” Representing the Romneys, La Jolla attorney Matt Peterson told commissioners that his clients are not “intending to take the beach away.” “It’s the opposite,” Peterson said, adding that for one of Ciani’s local, oceanfront houses, he “utilized the entire beach area for purposes of determining his FAR. “After the project was approved, then he granted an easement for public access in front of it, just like our client is going to do,” Peterson said. Commissioner Dayna Bochco said her mother lived a half-mile from the Romneys’ home for 20 years. “I’m very familiar with that part of La

Jolla, she said, noting that she and Zimmer walked the beach and the Romneys’ Barber Tract neighborhood prior to the meeting to “get a sense of the character of it, and what was going to be built there.” “I am struggling with this idea that what they call their lower level is a basement,” Bochco said. “I think that’s another issue that we need to define in the Local Coastal Program — what we really mean by a basement.” Zimmer noted that an addendum to the CCC staff’s original report specifies that “if the beach areas that are non-buildable were excluded from the calculation, this house would be at least 1,100 square feet over the maximum allowable floor-area ratio.” Peterson told La Jolla Light following the hearing that Mitt and Ann Romney were
“very pleased with the result, and happy that the Coastal Commission took a close look at it and handled it appropriately. “It’s probably the most thorough and comprehensive staff report for a house that I’ve ever seen before,” Peterson said, adding that it will take four to six months for the Romneys to obtain a building permit, and that construction of the new home would begin immediately thereafter. Responding to the Light via e-mail, Ciani said he was “very disappointed, but I appreciate the four commissioners who recognized the potential statewide precedents raised by my appeal. I will explore other legal remedies regarding the failure to adequately address those important aspects.”

From Merchants, A1 incoming members Claude-Anthony Marengo, Corey Bailey, Justin Stewart, Carol Mills and Billy Borja — will be to help the association recover from what board president Phil Coller referred to as “severe financial distress.” Though the group, which manages funds collected from merchants within the La Jolla business improvement district (BID), had high hopes for the Information Center it opened on Prospect Street this year, revenue it was banking on to pay the rent (about $100,000 more per year than its previous office space) hasn’t panned out. The LJVMA decided to open its own Information Center when the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau (ConVis) announced it no longer wished to operate the (now closed) La Jolla Visitor Center on Herschel Avenue. The La Jolla Village Information Center at 1162 Prospect St. combines the LJVMA offices with a conference room and high-visibility information center that board members hoped would generate enough revenue to cover its rent. “When we signed the lease for that property it was a gamble,” LJVMA Treasurer Tom Brady said, noting that the group expected to cover a majority of the rent by selling advertising in its windows and on TV monitors, most of which are now blank. Brady said the LJVMA was not able to pay rent on the space for September. “We are in arrears,” Brady said. “We’re not insolvent, but we’re certainly at the precipice — not unlike the federal government.” Coller said the LJVMA also received about
Monitors for commercial and nonprofit advertising have been installed at the La Jolla Village Information Center at 1162 Prospect St. The monitors have not generated much revenue, which the La Jolla Village Merchants Association had hoped would help pay nearly all the rent on the new space. Pat Sherman $56,000 (50 percent) less than it was expecting in city grants to operate the center (including funds previously awarded to ConVis to maintain the visitor center on Herschel Avenue). “It is very difficult to qualify for these grants. As soon as I say I am representing La Jolla you can see the interest turn off in the faces of the panel,” Fortune said. “I believe it is assumed that we have plenty of money in our community and we don’t need to take it from other communities who may need it more. But if you look at our streets and sidewalks, as well as our coast walk and public bathrooms, that tells a very different story.”
A solution?
Coller said the LJVMA is working to weather the storm and remain in its current location by temporarily subletting twothirds of the space, which would include use
of the rear half of the building, the conference room and one of the windows facing Prospect Street. The LJVMA is asking about $6,500 per month in rent. “This will not change the front of the Information Center,” Coller told those attending the Oct. 9 meeting. “It will still be the Information Center, it will still have a desk, still have its TVs and programs … and there will possibly be another front desk for another organization.” Speaking with La Jolla Light, Coller said the LJVMA is “not bankrupt or negative in money,” but merely experiencing momentary “cash-flow issues.” “We have no funds for doing anything other than what we’re doing,” he said, which includes paying rent and meeting the payroll for its full-time executive director, full-time paid intern, part-time bookkeeper and a couple other part-time information
center employees (as well as other minor expenses, such as maintaining the Village flower baskets and the LJVMA’s website). Coller said time is of the essence to find a tenant, as the board must vote upon and ratify the proposal at future meetings, and make sure the landlord is amenable to subletting the space. “Unless someone cuts us a check for $100,000 — which we’ll gladly accept — we need this money desperately,” Coller said. “If an opportunity arises, it needs to be seized upon.” LJVMA member and attorney Mark Krasner suggested the incoming board “consider subletting together with other potential alternatives.” Krasner also suggested arranging a meeting with Interim Mayor Todd Gloria to see if funding could be located to make up for the shortfall in grant money. “Tourists, of course, generate tax revenue and fee revenue,” Krasner said. “I would think the city has a vested interest in cooperating with this organization to continue to provide the services that it does — not only for the merchants and residents of La Jolla, but citywide.” Until the organization can get back on track, Fortune said the LJVMA will enact cost-cutting measures such as closing the Information Center on Mondays through the winter and reducing staff hours. “We want to make sure we keep the La Jolla Village Information Center running, as it is a great asset to the Village,” Fortune said. “We will continue to look for grants, donations and ways to increase our exposure and market position. If we don’t market our Village, who will?”

In the back: Joe LaCava (vice chair of the Community Planning Association) and La Jolla Shores Association Chair Tim Lucas.
After approaching the La Jolla Parks and Beaches group with his concept for an off-leash dog park north of Scripps Pier, La Jollan Rob Whittemore said he would reach out to the LJSA for similar feedback. He did not attend the Oct. 9 meeting, but John Bavasi, a volunteer at Scripps Coastal Reserve, did. Bavasi spoke on behalf of the UCSD Natural Reserve system to voice opposition to an off-leash dog park. “The proposed area is an environmentally sensitive, yearround, research and teaching area,” he said, adding that it is “a state marine conservation area and an area deemed to be of biological significance at which special measures are taken to keep the seawater clean and natural and limit discharges of any sort, including that of off-leash dogs.” Bavasi said there is also a concern that dogs will disturb roosting birds and buried grunions. After his comments, LJSA Chair Tim Lucas said that Whittemore told him the process is too difficult to pursue, and that he would no longer be supporting the idea.
In other LJSA news n Fall Fest: The event will return to the Shores, 4-7 p.m. Oct. 24 along Avenida De La Playa. Terry Winn-Kraszewski reported that children’s band Hullabaloo will perform.

Passports are available at Ocean Girl, 2162 Avenida De La Playa; Surf Diva, 2160 Avenida De La Playa; and Hike Bike Kayak 2216 Avenida De La Playa. n Shores fees: Lifeguard Lieutenant Rick Strobel assured that LJSA’s ongoing requests that money collected by outdoor recreation RFPs (fees) at the Shores be funneled back to the Shores have not fallen on deaf ears. Member Janie Emerson’s comment, “It just seems unfair that money collected from the Shores goes to the (city’s) general fund and not back to the area it’s coming off of,” was heard “loud and clear,” Strobel said. He also confirmed that discussions have taken place on the subject. — La Jolla Shores Association next meets 6:30 p.m. Nov. 13 at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography Martin-Johnson House, 8840 Biological Grade.

Modern Home Systems provides security and peace of mind By Marti Gacioch Remote home monitoring, providing security and priceless peace of mind, is now available at every budget through Modern Home Systems (formerly La Jolla Home Theater). Modern Home Systems installs what is known as the Savant System in client’s homes, so that every room and home perimeter can be monitored remotely using iPhones and/or iPads. “A client may begin by wanting to control just one room,” Danielle Ryan, marketing and business development manager, said. “Typically a lot of people want to start by controlling their audio and visual components and their lighting.” From there, clients can control doors, heating and cooling systems, swimming pool gates, hot tubs, irrigation, shades, child monitoring and more. “The possibilities are limitless,” Ryan said. A recent client wanted multiple cameras placed around his property home for security purposes. “He enjoys the fact that there’s a fence around his home that can also be controlled through the Savant System, so if someone rings his front door, he can check the camera to see if it’s someone he wants to allow in, and if it is, he can buzz them in through his iPad,” Ryan said. For clients who travel frequently, the Savant System provides them with priceless peace of mind. “It allows them to remotely check on every part of their property that has a security camera installed so that they can check to see if everything is fine by viewing the different
View Modern Home Systems’ gallery of completed projects at modernhomesystems.com rooms and entrances of their home or property,” Ryan said. “They tell us that it makes their lives easier.” Modern Home Systems can be installed in a few days, but they also take on many projects with homebuilders and contractors for homes in the construction stage that tend to take longer while they wait for different phases of the project to be completed. The next step for Savant System is adding voice control activation to their automated system, which is expected to

Wagners, Prebys to receive UCSD Chancellor’s Medal UC San Diego will award Conrad Prebys and Molli and Arthur Wagner its 2013 Chancellor’s Medal. One of the highest honors given by the campus, the Chancellor’s Medal recognizes exceptional service in support of UCSD’s mission. The awards will be presented on Nov. 16, as part of the annual Founders Celebration. “Our honorees are remarkable leaders who have significantly enhanced arts and culture in the region — both for students and the community,” Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla said. “Conrad Prebys made it possible to build one of the world’s finest concert halls right here at UC San Diego. Arthur and Molli Wagner’s support has helped position the campus as one of the nation’s top colleges to study theater and dance.” The Chancellor’s Medal was established in 2000. Real estate philantropist Prebys gave $6 million to build the Conrad Prebys Music Center, which houses a world-class concert hall designed by one of the most distinguished acousticians in the world. He then gave an additional $3 million endowment for graduate
Conrad Prebys student fellowships and to maintain the infrastructure of the concert hall. Prebys has also made gifts to UCSD Moores Cancer Center and The Preuss School UCSD. In addition, Prebys has shown leadership throughout the San Diego community with gifts to the San Diego Zoo, Scripps Health, the Old Globe Theatre, the Boys and Girls Club, KPBS, San Diego Opera and others. Molli and Arthur Wagner arrived at UCSD in 1972, when Arthur Wagner was appointed the founding chair of the department of drama, now the department of theatre and dance. Together with his
Molli and Arthur Wagner department colleagues he raised its reputation to where it is recognized as one of the top three in the country. The Wagners provided funding for the Molli and Arthur Wagner Dance Building, the Arthur Wagner Theatre, the Wagner Endowed Graduate Acting Fellowship, the Arthur and Molli Wagner Endowed Chair in Acting (the only one of its kind in the nation) and have made the lead gift to the Student Production Fund Endowment, for which they are also serving as co-chairs. The endowment seeks to provide continued funding for student productions, despite state budget cuts.
In recognition of the Wagners’ generosity, the campus renamed the Wagner New Play Festival in their honor. They have also supported ArtPower! scholarships and The Preuss School UCSD. They are Friends of the Stuart Collection and members of UC San Diego Chancellor’s Associates. In addition to the awarding of the Chancellor’s Medals during Founders’ Celebration, UCSD will also bestow the Revelle Medal upon Walter Munk, professor emeritus of Scripps Institution of Oceanography. — For details about the Founders’ Celebration, visit founders.ucsd.edu

OPINION
Time to rally behind ban on leaf-blowers in La Jolla Of all the issues that plague our community, I personally feel the priority should be the use of gas-powered leaf blowers. This nuisance directly impacts my quality of life on a daily basis. As discussed by other readers, they are very noisy and ineffective; they do not dispose of the leaves and dust, they simply blast it into the street, onto parked cars or into the neighboring yard. On weekdays here in my La Jolla neighborhood I have a difficult time concentrating on my work due to the loud, disturbing noise. Worse than that, they are unbelievably dirty. “The hydrocarbon emissions from a half-hour of yard work with the two-stroke leaf blower are about the same as a 3,900-mile drive from Texas to Alaska in a (6,200-pound 2011 Ford F-150 SVT) Raptor,” said Jason Kavanagh, Engineering Editor at Edmunds.com If homeowners cannot encourage use of an alternative method, I hope you will join me in proposing a leaf-blower ban similar to that in other nearby communities. Lynn Laumann La Jolla
Kudos for keeping community informed about post office sale The La Jolla Light is to be congratulated on its thorough and continuing coverage of the potential relocation and/or sale of the La Jolla Post Office. Not only is this an important issue for our community, it is of national consequence. We are only one of many historic post offices across the country, which are being relocated or closed against the public’s wishes. As noted in the recent exposé, “Going Postal” by Peter Byrne, the reasons for the sell-off are highly questionable, while those promoting it are either avoiding public scrutiny, or are not providing answers or processes that meet the test of good governance. That this story has been under-reported or completely ignored in the national media is part of the unfolding tragedy. According to UC Berkeley Professor Grey Brechin, (interviewed in “Deadline to comment on postal service audit extended,” by Pat Sherman in your Oct. 10 issue), the La Jolla Light is the ONLY regularly published newspaper in the country that has actively pursued the story. While the Fourth Estate has been collectively asleep at the switch, the Light has carried the candle in the dark alone. Thank you for your persistence and courage in covering this issue. Not only does La Jolla need you, the country needs you. Diane Kane Save the La Jolla Post Office Task Force
Congress: Take a lesson from these young problem solvers! Much has been made of the inability of Congress to resolve differences. Yesterday, 12-year-old twins in the dentist’s office demonstrated a solution. With their mother

n Fellow La Jollans: Please send La Jolla Light your leads of Village eyesores and we will go after the perpetrators. E-mail the scenarios and attach a photo, or call us and we’ll investigate who or what is Tarnishing Our Jewel! Reach Editor Susan DeMaggio at (858) 875- 5950 or e-mail susandemaggio@ lajollalight.com
present but not intruding, the girls were arguing with each other, albeit gently, about who was going first to visit the dentist. (Right there you know these are unusual kids.) After just a few moments of discord, one said, “Rock, Paper, Scissors!” Immediately, they started counting, and on “four,” each put out a hand in one of those shapes. After three ties, the “winning” twin happily trotted off to the dentist chair, the other sat down seemingly content. A fair decision had been reached. Amazed, I turned to the remaining twin and asked if I could send her and her sister to Congress to show them how to settle disputes. She smiled, but declined my offer. Art Cooley La Jolla
‘Whiff’ at your own risk In regards to your recent article, “Give it a Whiff” (Oct. 3), whiffing is something tourists and residents may not want to do on nice, warm days. My husband and I were enjoying the beautiful warm Oct. 5 afternoon, walking in the Village and got a ‘whiff’ of the bird guano on Prospect Street. The strong odor would come in waves, but the smell lingered in the background. We continued on to George’s at the Cove to have a bite (awesome view and great food) while enjoying the weather. While there, we, along with other patrons, could still smell the guano. We heard a group of patrons making comments about needing to leave the restaurant due to the stench, and others were determining if they could handle the smell before sitting down to order. It is great to read that the city has begun to address this problem. In our opinion this is not an issue that can linger and wait for more years
and years of buildup. We believe there should be a continued maintenance effort to keep the stench under control. La Jolla has visitors from around the world — and their experience of this jewel shouldn’t be tarnished by a “fowl” smelling memory. Melanie Ault La Jolla
Unleashed dogs at Calumet Park a non-issue Let’s not turn Bird Rock into Del Mar. La Jolla, and Bird Rock in particular, does not have a serious public safety issue with unleashed dogs. If you want a serious issue, worry about the ever-changing storefronts along La Jolla Boulevard, the frequent surges of home robberies and now neighbors in the “hood” getting shot. Unleashed dogs at Calumet Park or on the bike path are the least of our concerns. I frequent Calumet Park and have never seen dogfights, people fights or bicyclists getting attacked by rabid canines. Yes there is dog litter, so pick it up dog owners and fine the irresponsible when necessary. But, let’s let Officer Cartwright worry about more important issues. Bird Rock is a neighborhood. We have the young and old, surfer dudes, moms with strollers, students tanning and dogs frolicking. I am sorry but no one is getting hurt, dogs aren’t going crazy, this is a non-issue. Stop being a curmudgeon former Community Council President Parker … you are barking up the wrong tree. Lex Lyon Bird Rock

OUR READERS WRITE
Cigarettes a bigger issue at park than unleashed dogs Congratulations to the San Diego police and animal control for giving tickets Saturday at about 5 p.m. The 92-year-old longtime Bird Rock resident who walks her miniature schnauzer on a leash to the park twice daily in order to maintain her health was the first recipient, followed by a woman surfer walking to check the surf. These are typical of the people who go to the park with their dogs and are all local residents. I have gone with my dogs for 21 years and rarely witness the problems cited in the (Oct. 10 “Dog Day Afternoon”) article. Those of us who socialize at the park with our dogs have common sense to avoid weddings and ask any aggressive dog to be leashed. The pictures of the dogs cited as examples of having balls thrown to them are breaking the law, but if no one else is there, why is it a problem? One of the dogs was a 12-pound West Highland Terrier and both dogs are well behaved. The city could get a lot more money by ticketing every person smoking in the park as this is much more common. I pick up butts daily from around the benches and cliff to prevent contaminating the ocean. Let’s have sensible enforcement of dogs at Calumet Park instead of using a shotgun approach to this issue. It is obvious some people just don’t like dogs and are willing to take photos and complain to aggravate the situation. Why not meet with we dog owners and allow us to help solve any problems that arise. Jack Resnick La Jolla

Is the plastic-bag ban a boondoggle? As a native La Jollan, born in the old Scripps Hospital on Prospect Street, I currently live in the Muirlands. My great aunt and grandmother both worked in the old Green Dragon Colony in the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s. I am a founding member of the La Jolla High School Alumni Association, and I’ve lived here and in various parts of San Diego all my life, so I possess a huge sense of the history of the community of La Jolla and the City of San Diego. I have seen many changes in La Jolla over the past 60 years that range from original cottages
and homes being replaced with monolithic, outsized edifices to far too many people crowding our Village to our beaches and coastal parks being fouled by environmental terrorists. But thanks to the recent vote by the San Diego City Council’s Rules and Economic Development Committee, we are facing an even more insidious affront: a side effect of the potential ordinance to ban plastic shopping bags in the City of San Diego. As a result of such a ban, it is apparent that consumers will only be able to obtain a paper bag if they pay for it. This ludicrous idea is nonsensical for two reasons. First, paper bags have been free to consumers for more years than anyone can remember. Second, this will be a definite
hardship for the working and unemployed poor, the disabled, and those on a fixed income. One has to wonder who will be profiting from the sale of these bags — the politicians who’ve proposed this boondoggle or the bag manufacturers and unions that represent them and contribute to those politicians’ campaigns? I respectfully urge our representative on the city council, Ms. Sherri Lightner, to lead the effort to abandon this pointless and detrimental portion of the potential ordinance to ban plastic bags and make clear her concern for those struggling and less fortunate residents of the City of San Diego.

OBITUARIES
Ivan Fall Lee 1922 – 2013
Ivan was born October 6, 1922, in Tabor, Alberta, Canada, where he spent his earliest years on his family’s wheat farm. When he was five, his parents, Arthur and Minnie (nee Fall), moved their seven children to Santa Ana, CA, where he passed the remainder of his youth. He graduated from Tustin High School in 1940 and attended Santa Ana Junior College until the outbreak of World War II. On December 8, 1941, the day after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Ivan enlisted in the U.S. Navy and trained as a pilot. Upon earning his wings, he was assigned to fly with the VPB 107 Squadron, whose mission was to detect and destroy German U-boats. For the duration of the war in Europe, he piloted B-24 bombers (“Liberators”) throughout the Atlantic in pursuit of enemy submarines, flying from bases in South America, North Africa and Europe. After VE Day, he retrained as an aircraft carrier fighter pilot in preparation for planned operations in the Pacific. His carrier was en route from Hawaii to Japan when the Japanese surrendered.
Soon after the war ended, he returned to civilian life. In 1947, Ivan married Darlene Grace Sherfey of Santa Ana, CA, who supported him by working as a teacher while he completed his education. In 1951, he graduated from the University of California Dental School in San Francisco as a specialist in the emerging field of orthodontics. Ivan opened his first practice in San Diego, with Darlene serving as his secretary and chair assistant. They eventually settled in La Jolla, CA, where they raised four children and Ivan developed a busy practice. He became a leading member of his profession, pioneering treatment methods and technologies that contributed to significant advances in the practice of orthodontics. He had the distinction of being the first orthodontist in the San Diego region to be American Board Certified. He served as President of both The Angle Society and The Southern California Association of Orthodontists and taught at The Angle School of Orthodontics. An avid golfer, Ivan was a long-time member of La Jolla Country Club on whose Board of Directors he served. He was a gifted athlete and an outdoor enthusiast who relished jogging on the beach, swimming in the ocean, cycling and skiing. He looked forward to yearly family vacations on a cattle ranch in Southwest Colorado, in which he was a partner. There he enjoyed fishing, river rafting, horseback riding and camping, as well as laboring at projects he conceived for improving the
property. In 1977, Ivan sold his practice in La Jolla and purchased a farm in Brawley, CA, which he worked with his son Brad while practicing orthodontics part-time. In 1986, he and Darlene moved to La Quinta, CA, and opened an orthodontic office in Palm Desert, which Darlene managed. They joined La Quinta Country Club and later became members of Marrakesh Country Club. After a 55-year career as an orthodontist, Ivan retired in 2006, but continued to lead an active life. He was a keen golfer well into his eighties (on several occasions shooting his age), enjoyed traveling with Darlene and treasured the time he spent with his children and grandchildren. A year ago, Ivan and Darlene moved to The Fountains at The Carlotta in Palm Desert where he died just days before his 91st birthday on September 27, 2013. He is survived by his wife, Darlene; sister, Marjorie Campshure of Orange, CA; four children, Claudia (married to Mark Ainsworth) of Philadelphia, PA, Bradford (married to Evelyn [nee Lamat]) of Bermuda Dunes, CA, Brian (married to Melanie [nee Stone] of Carlsbad, CA, and Kristin (married to Peter Roberts) of Annapolis, MD; and seven grandchildren, Tyler, Hunter, Alexa, Colter, Slater, Shelby and Andrew. A service of remembrance was held on Saturday, October 12, 2013, at 2 pm at The Carlotta, 41-505 Carlotta Drive, Palm Desert, CA 92211.

Joy R. Wolf 1923 – 2013
Joy Wolf of La Jolla, CA, passed away August 24, 2013, at age 89. She is survived by her three children, Peter Wolf of Oakland, CA, Kathy Wolf and grandson, Matthew Towt, of San Diego, CA, and Barbara and Neal Schwartz of NY, NY; and sister, Geri Rosen of Washington, DC. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Thomas L. Wolf. They were married for 56 years. Joy was born in Philadelphia. She and Tom raised a family in Baltimore, MD, and by 1973, Joy and Tom moved to Manhattan. They moved from NYC to La Jolla, CA, in 1982. Joy had many interests and talents. She was a long time advocate and was instrumental in developing programs for child daycare. Starting in the early 60’s in Baltimore and continuing through the 1980’s, she was on the steering committees for the San Diego Friends, California Children’s Lobby and San Diego’s Child Care
Coalition. Joy’s creative and artistic talents drew her to volunteer at the CooperHewitt Museum in New York where she became a volunteer assistant in the Decorative Arts Departments and later served on the Advisory Board for the Decorative Arts Committee. Joy’s love for the arts brought her to volunteer at the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Arts. She became a part of the project that was dedicated to the preservation of artists’ insights and conversations that had influenced The Museum of Contemporary Art. Interviewing, recording and cataloging their memories and conversations created an Oral History project for the museum library. Joy was introduced to The Athenaeum Music and Arts Library and soon began to volunteer much of her time working on their oral history projects. She put her creative energies to work by volunteering on the Decorations Committee for their annual “Gala” fundraising event. Joy was truly in her element. She loved to entertain and was challenged to make each year more successful and beautiful than the previous year. There she developed wonderful friendships which were a source of great joy. Joy will always be remembered for her great sense of style, her creative and artistic talents, her beauty and sense of elegance. She will truly be missed.

WATER POLO: La Jolla High School Vikings 10, The Bishop’s School Knights 9
No. 6-ranked La Jolla boys water polo edges No. 2-ranked Bishop’s By Ed Piper La Jolla’s boys water polo team held on to narrowly defeat Bishop’s 10-9 Oct. 10 at Bishop’s home pool before a large and vocal crowd from both schools, in No. 2-ranked Bishop’s’ only second loss at home this season. “It was an exciting game. I hate to say it, but La Jolla outplayed us,” said Knights’ stalwart Tommy Higginson, moments after the final horn sounded. “Their outside shooting was substantially better. Their ball awareness was better,” added Higginson, the center defender who played the entire game. Bishop’s, though holding the home court advantage, fell behind early in the match, their deficit expanding to 6-3 after Viking senior Cole Martinez’s second goal with 41 seconds left in the second quarter. Martinez scored yet again against Knight goalie Andrew Chun to make it 7-4 midway through the third quarter. The Vikings, coached by Tom Atwell, enjoyed their biggest lead, 9-5, with 1:26 remaining in the third quarter. The Knights, coached by Jim Fales, fought back. Evan Elig scored at the end of the third quarter, followed by teammate Esteban Vasquez netting a goal to start the final quarter. Elig, an offensive powerhouse, poured in two more goals of his own within 42 seconds of elapsed time on the clock. Evan’s last goal was a high floater that he sent from nearly mid-pool, yet it sailed into the La Jolla goal just under the crossbar. La Jolla was only able to make one to Bishop’s

Chun made an excellent save on a Viking shot to his goal with only 39 seconds left in the contest to keep Bishop’s within striking distance. But it was to no avail, as time ran out without another score by either squad. “We definitely crashed on the two-meter (center) defense well,” said the Vikings’ Martinez. “We definitely played good defense on their shooters. We executed our offense well, like Coach (Atwell) wanted us to.” La Jolla’s Connor Hallman said, “The key was we played as one cohesive unit. It wasn’t just a bunch of guys doing their own

thing. We communicated well and we were just all on the same page.” Matt Allen, a junior goalie and three-year starter, got to participate in a win at Bishop’s for the first time in his high school career. Coach Atwell said of his team: “I’m super proud of them. They fought hard all the way to the end. We started a little bit of playingnot-to-lose … instead of playing-to-win, so it was a little scary in the last few minutes. But I was very proud of them, at how hard they battled. They were prepared for today.” He singled out his seniors, Martinez, Isaiah Porter, Duke Becker and Hallman for excellent play, well as Carlos “Tito” Hernandez and sophomore Max Battle-Picas,
a foreign exchange student from Spain. Commented Coach Fales: “It was another great game with La Jolla in a long rivalry. They outplayed us in all areas. Elig and (offensive shooter) Richard Daly played strong games. Our two-meter man, Tommy (Higginson), had no goals but he played a good game. I was proud of my players. They played the whole game without subbing.” Though the two schools play in different leagues during the regular season, they are rivals in the same division in CIF playoffs, Division III. They play a home-and-away series against each other, in addition to their possible meeting in the post-season playoffs later this fall.

By Ashley Mackin What a coincidence! Two former La Jolla student-athletes — La Jolla High’s Karly Zlatic and The Bishop’s School’s Viktor Wrobel — both covered previously in the Light — are getting some new, wider publicity. Both students are attending Harvard on sports scholarships, and both made it into the Harvard Crimson on the same page, on the same day, Oct. 2. Zlatic is attending Harvard to play soccer; Wrobel water polo. Zlatic was credited with scoring the first goal of an Ivy opener as part of a cohesive, offensive line. The Crimson newspaper reads: “The Crimson (team) broke through for its first goal of the night in the 75th minute, when Johnson crossed the ball to Keene, who found freshmen forward Karly Zlatic, as Zlatic calmly put the ball in the back of the net.” Harvard played against Penn State to open Ivy League play, eventually winning 2-1. Zlatic was later named Ivy League Co-Rookie of the Week. Wrobel, known for his aggressive shooting while he was at Bishop’s, is continuing to add points to the board. Named the Athlete of the Week in September, Wrobel scored a combined eight goals in two games, including

La Jolla High girls golf remains undefeated in their league By Ashley Mackin The La Jolla High girls’ golf team, continuing an undefeated-in-their-league season, won each of their meets in recent weeks. On Sept. 25, the Lady Vikings took on Point Loma High School at Torrey Pines Golf Course, winning by a tight 26 strokes. The five lowest scores combined gave the Vikings a 218 finish, led by lowest scorer/ medalist Madeleine Garay at 42, followed by Erin Szabo at 43. Coach Aaron Quesnell reported the entire team was within four shots of each other. The next day, the Lady Vikings beat Our Lady of Peace (OLP), finishing nearly 40 strokes under their opponents. La Jolla High finished at 204 and was led by dualmedalists Waverly Whiston and Manci Rasmussen at 37 each. Madeleine Garay followed at 40. “The Lady Vikes cruised to victory at Riverwalk against our rival, OLP,” Quesnell
said of the Sept. 26 victory. “It’s always tough to have matches in back-to-back days, but the girls handled it well.” The streak continued on Sept. 30 against Christian High School (based in El Cajon), when medalist Erin Szabo, at 46, led the Lady Vikings to a 280 total, a whopping 59 strokes under their opponent. Maya Friessen followed Szabo at 53. October started off similar to how September ended. On Oct. 1, the Vikings took on Scripps Ranch High School, winning at 211 to Scripps’ 238. Waverly Whiston medaled at 32, followed by Madeleine Garay at 42. On Oct. 10, the lady Vikings narrowly beat Cathedral Catholic High School, winning just 11 strokes under their opponent. The medalist was actually CCHS’s Jacqueline Garcia at 41. However, the win belongs to LJHS, maintaining the leaguewide winning streak.

10 QUESTIONS
Fundraising work fills the days (and nights) for Hillary Brendzel Hillary Brendzel is director of development for Scripps Health’s Campaign for Cardiovascular Care, a $180 million capital campaign to raise funds and awareness for the new Prebys Cardiovascular Institute and Scripps Clinic Anderson Medical Pavilion. Prior to Scripps, Brendzel worked in Washington, D.C. for the U.S. Senate, American Heart Association, Junior Achievement and Hillary Brendzel the Advisory Board Company. After her 10-year career in D.C., she decided it was time for a change of scenery (and weather) and moved to San Diego. Brendzel grew up in Laguna Hills and attended high school at Phillips Academy Andover in Andover, Mass. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Emory University and completed her graduate work in non-profit management at Georgetown University. In addition to her work at Scripps, the avid sports fan serves on her school’s local alumni executive committees and is a member of the San Diego Women’s Foundation. What brought you to La Jolla? I grew up in Orange County but left for prep school at the age of 14. Since then, my education took me to Boston, Atlanta, Buenos Aires and, most recently, Washington, D.C. Although I loved my time on the East Coast, the horrendous D.C. winter of 2010 made me realize it was time to move back home! Being close to my family, and a great job offer from Scripps, made the decision easy. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would like to see more nightlife in La Jolla. Not necessarily late night clubs, but hip wine bars and jazz lounges with amazing live music. Who or what inspires you? I am constantly inspired by the women I meet through the San Diego Women’s Foundation. They have a passion for improving our community and I am honored to be associated with these ladies. We are launching an under 40 initiative, which is an effort to engage younger women by reducing the dues requirement.

La Jolla Cultural Partners
a Jolla has a number of historically significant buildings and cottages that deserve to be preserved, but every time I hear of a movement to preserve the architecture of the 1947 houses in our neighborhood, I feel compelled to demur. Or barf. Don’t get me wrong: we love our little place (mostly) — but only because the exterior and interior have been substantially upgraded to give it little resemblance to its origins. The house itself still retains its original footprint, however, one of the few in the neighborhood. Pretty much everyone else has already put these houses out of their misery. I’m not unreasonable. I’d be willing to preserve one of these homes as a cautionary tale so that future generations can see what teeny, dark, poorly constructed cookie-cutter houses built by the lowest bidder were like. Before we remodeled in 1999, I would tell people that we still had the original 1947 kitchen (except for the appliances) and they would implore us not to remodel it. It sounds so quaint, they said! There are so few of these kitchens left! Maybe you could even find some appliances of the
era, even some kitschy countertop mixers, and completely restore it! Of course, the people who had seen our kitchen said, “Would you like the name of our contractor?” Retro isn’t necessarily quaint. Sometimes it’s just retro. Even the contractor who ultimately remodeled our kitchen observed, “They sure knew how to build a depressing kitchen back then.” Think gray Formica counter tops, gray linoleum floor, a single overhead light bulb, cheap pine cabinets, one outlet. We used the only outlet in the kitchen for the portable dishwasher as that was another invention that hadn’t yet become a standard fixture in 1947. A lot of people have never seen a portable dishwasher, which rolls over to the sink and is connected by hoses to the faucet. Guests would ponder the dishwasher sitting alone in a corner of the kitchen and finally blurt out, “How on earth does that work?” And I’d say, “It transfers water from the faucet remotely.” There had to be SOME advantages to having the most retro kitchen in America. The single 100-watt bulb as the only
source of light in the standard 1947 kitchen was also problematical. The many scars on my fingers attest to what a bad idea it is to use sharp objects when your only light source is behind you. Another throwback to 1947, of course, is that code at the time prohibited electrical outlets in bathrooms, considering it too dangerous to plug in an electric appliance in the vicinity of a bathtub or shower. Of course, with the advent of hairdryers, curling irons, electric razors and toothbrushes, and of course, ground fault breakers, code changed. But we still didn’t have electric outlets in our bathrooms for the first 26 years I lived here, until Olof married me and decided that living in the 19th century was only charming to a point. And that leads me to the true downside of living in an original 1947 house from our neighborhood: 50 amps of power. When Olof and I married in 1995 and he moved down here from the Bay Area, that’s all the power the house had ever had. Which he quickly discovered when he’d be working on his computer and the kids would decide to toast a Pop-Tart. All of a sudden the house would be very quiet. And very dark. Well, not totally quiet, as the normally mildmannered Olof would say a seriously bad word. The kids and I had long been used to the fact that you could only run one appliance
beside the refrigerator at a time so no microwave if the washer were going, and no toaster oven if the portable dishwasher was plugged in. Faster than you can say, “Can this marriage be saved?”, a dedicated line was put in for Olof’s computer. The 1947 floor furnace was so full of holes that it emitted a lot of fumes and not much heat. Space heaters blew the circuit breaker in nanoseconds. I recently Googled 1947 kitchens. There were some fairly nice kitchens then. Just not in this neighborhood and price demographic. As of 1999, we now have a kitchen with a built-in dishwasher, 14 outlets (OK, I got a little carried away there), under-the-cabinet lights and eight can lights in an 11x11 space. Honestly, turn them all on at once and it looks like a nuclear blast. But having spent decades in the land of single 100-watt light bulbs, I wasn’t taking any chances. We rarely blow a circuit breaker, have central heat and even sport skylights to diminish the darkness of small rooms. So as far as preserving the 1947 house for posterity, I’m afraid the romance is gone for me. I’m happy to have one of these houses preserved — just so long as I don’t have to live in it. — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light.

Something old is new at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe By Kelley Carlson he space that was formerly a ballroom at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe was recently converted into Morada, an elegant and sophisticated restaurant that still manages to be comfortably casual and welcoming. Vacationing families clad in jeans and T-shirts mingle with local residents gussied up for date night, dining on locally sourced California cuisine that’s suitable for all tastes. Guests who arrive through the main entrance walk across the polished hardwood floor of the bar and lounge, which is filled with glittering chandeliers, booths covered in Ikat fabric and its signature flower patterns, and picturesque landscape paintings. On weekends, customers gather at the bar to devour burgers while watching sports on TV, which is hidden behind glass during the remainder of the week. A wall with a built-in fireplace divides the bar from the equally grand main dining room. Photos of Rancho Santa Fe in its early days line the walls, a nostalgic tribute to the hotel’s history. Patrons are also welcome to indulge on Morada’s fare in the adjacent living room. There, they can casually sip vintages from California wineries while lounging in large leather chairs in front of the crackling fireplace. It’s quiet and intimate, enhanced by soft instrumental music and dim lighting. But to really experience Morada, Executive Chef Todd Allison recommends terrace dining, where visitors can gaze across the

Morada’s Seared Ahi Tuna & Citrus sprawling, landscaped lawn toward the heart of “The Ranch.” It’s an idyllic spot to watch hot air balloons soar during sunset while sharing a bottle of wine, perhaps getting cozy by one of the fire pits. “The patio has the best view in town,” Allison said. “It’s relaxing and very inviting.” Guests can augment their experience in a variety of ways – entrees, shared plates or a la carte. Allison takes a farm-to-table approach with his creations, using ingredients from his on-site garden, local farms and farmers markets throughout the region. He recommends sharing a couple of starters, perhaps the pan-roasted baby octopus and the steamed black Carlsbad mussels, before moving on to main courses such as the grilled Colorado lamb loin
Pan Roasted Ocean Trout is served over a slice of grilled green tomato and a bed of toasted red quinoa with saffron glaze. PHOTOS By Kelley Carlson chops and the local honey-glazed Chilean sea bass. Then top off the meal with a dark chocolate pot de crème. Other menu items worth considering include the Golden Beet Salad with slices of citrus, sprinkled with white balsamic vinegar and bits of creamy Humboldt Fog cheese; the flaky pan-roasted ocean trout over a slice of grilled green tomato, resting on a bed of toasted red quinoa with saffron glaze; seared Ahi tuna street tacos with avocado mousse and cilantro slaw inside crispy shells; and the coconut panna cotta with a top layer of tropical fruit salsa, served with shortbread cookies. The children’s menu is a bit more standard with items such as chicken Alfredo, pizzas,
hamburgers, chicken fingers and mac ‘n’ cheese. While waiting for their food, kids can tap into their creative side by playing with complimentary neon-colored Wikki Stix, made of yarn and non toxic wax. Morada is also open for breakfast and lunch, offering dishes that range from bananas foster French toast and Dungeness crab eggs benedict to the ginger BBQ Mary’s free-range chicken sandwich and blackened Alaskan salmon. Reservations are recommended at the restaurant, especially on weekends, Allison noted. Much of the “rush” occurs when there is live entertainment — usually flamenco-style background music — from 6 to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

San Diego Youth Symphony
Sacra/Profana Choral Ensemble
La Jolla Presbyterian kicks off 52nd concert series By Ashley Mackin The La Jolla Presbyterian Church’s “Worship and Art Concerts” are known for showcasing exceptional talent, and the 52nd annual series lineup is no different. The five concerts will feature internationally recognized pianists, a youth symphony, and a Christmas program so popular the church had to add a second show to accommodate guests. All concerts and post-performance
receptions with the artists are free. All shows start at 4 p.m., and the first concert is on Sunday, Oct. 20. “The concert series was founded by some forward-thinking people and we’re just blessed to be able to continue that,” said Worship and Arts manager Ron Bolles. “We see music as a bridge to the community and a way for people to come onto our campus and go ‘this isn’t so bad.’ We believe the arts give us a little glimpse of heaven.

Sometimes through music and the arts, people’s hearts can be moved in a way words can’t do.” Carol Manifold, founder of the Choral Consortium of San Diego, isn’t a member of the church, but supports the series’ mission and volunteered to work with the church to organize the concerts. “This is great music, regardless of any connection to the church; these are artists you would have to pay to hear anyplace else,” Manifold said. “They are all very professional, and the choirs are quite good for church choirs.” The Oct. 20 concert will feature Teresa Walters. “We are really thrilled to kick this off with this extraordinary, internally known pianist,” Bolles said. Walters has played at Carnegie Hall, Australia’s International Conservatorium and Paris’s Salle Cortot. She also recently released an album of works by Franz Liszt — an accomplishment that, Bolles said, is remarkable because Liszt’s hands were so large that many people cannot physically recreate his works. The church will present two Christmas concerts on Dec. 15. Bolles said the show has gotten so large and fills up so consistently, an evening performance was added. A professional orchestra accompanies the church choir, and the program also includes a bell choir and children’s choir, as well as Charpentier’s “Messe de Minuit de Noel” (“Christmas Midnight Mass”) — just not at midnight. In the first concert of the new year, the San Diego Youth Symphony (SDYS) will perform Feb. 9, 2014. “It’s astounding in the work they do, they play well beyond their years.” Manifold said. “They are all on the path to becoming professional musicians and better than many orchestras of adults, even though they are only in high school.” The SDYS is an invitation-only ensemble

On March 23, 2014, the Sacra/ Profana Choral Ensemble will perform its unique blend of choral songs and pop hits. “So often the expectation of choral music is middle-aged singers doing works by dead European white male composers and these people really liven it up,” Manifold said. “It’s not pop in a cheap sense, it’s sophisticated music delivered by professional signers. I’m excited for the congregation to be exposed to that.” A teaser video online shows the choir, accompanied only by a few stringed instruments, performing a grandiose version of Jimmy Eat World’s “Chase the Light.” The series closes May 18, 2014 with “The Creation,” a choral presentation featuring at least 60 voices and a full orchestra. According to a church press release, “ ‘The Creation’ is a masterpiece that reflects the optimistic emphasis on the wonders of the natural world, with all the impact of a full choir.” — The La Jolla Presbyterian Church is at 7715 Draper Ave. Teaser videos and biographies of each of the performers is available at LJPres.org

La Jolla psychologist earns ‘distinguished’ honor By Ashley Mackin “Everything that you are is in everything you do,” said psychologist Richard Schere, speaking with La Jolla Light in his Fay Avenue office. Truer words were never spoken for a person like Schere, who integrates his passion as psychologist, artist and educator into each element of his professional and personal life, all with a level of care that is undeniable. The San Diego Psychological Association recognized Schere with a Distinguished Contribution to Psychology award on Oct. 12 during its 2013 fall conference. One of the distinguished contributions (Schere makes a point to use air quotes around distinguished) is from his time at the helm of an American Psychological Association task force, when he wrote the first operational definition of learning disability. “Before we started to work on the problem of learning disabilities, students would have trouble in school and nobody
realized that the problems (students) had were not about their ability to learn. We saw that a lot of these youngsters were quite bright,” he said with a smile. Schere recalled a child he worked with in his early research who struggled with reading. When someone would read something to him, he was able comprehend and answer questions about the material. But if he would read something to himself, he was unable to understand it. “The big question is, ‘Why is that?’ ” Schere posed. “A learning disability is basically an underachievement in a particular area that causes a certain set of skills to be weaker than others. So I make the analogy of a radio where all the stations work, except one, which is static-y.” In this child’s case, it was a weakness in visual perception. He saw the letters p and q, as well as b and d, as the same thing, among other issues, making it harder to process what each word actually was.

“He reads word by word, and when you read word by word you cannot automatically, like most people do, see a group of letters that form words and form sentences with meaning, and understand that meaning,” Schere said. “It’s not that he doesn’t have the ability to learn, it’s that he has skill weaknesses that are significant.” Schere was later able to find a way to identify the weaker Ashley Mackin skills and develop strategies for teachers to use to help repair those skills or find another way to teach certain students. Finding alternatives to the norm extends to his psychology practice as well. Because he is a musician and artist as well, Schere’s office is surrounded by examples of art that helped his young patients express themselves when they couldn’t with words. Pointing to a drawing of a tiger, he said, “This one is by a girl who had a lot of problems with an explosive personality. She would get into trouble. She was able to explain, only through drawing, that the tiger in her comes out right through her skin.” He added, “Sometimes the inside is relieved to get to the outside and (expressing what’s on the inside) helps people cope with things.” While using art in therapy is nothing new, Schere said he hopes his approach to addressing young adulthood will be integrated into the general practice of psychology. Schere argues that there is a stage of life between adolescence and young adulthood.
Richard Schere
He recommends considering the “odyssey” stage when working with people in that demographic. “Adolescents used to be able to graduate from high school, get a job, make some money, then make a little more money then get a place away from home and start a family,” he explained. “Now you can’t do that. What you need to get a job is a lot of training. Today’s jobs require a lot of specific skills and there aren’t that many jobs. A lot of kids are not yet young adults, and they are scared. They are worried about the future and how they are going to make anything happen.” Schere has already integrated the odyssey stage into his therapy and focuses on that time when working with patients. He teaches them to assess how their skills could be used in a marketable way. That approach and acknowledgement of challenges has worked for him in his personal life, as his two adult children are both also successful psychologists. “The contribution (to the world) I should get an award for is my family. My wife and I have two great kids who are both psychologists and helping a lot of people — not that we pushed them that way.” Though he could win an award for his family and their collective contribution, the actual reason he earned the award, he said, “is for writing and innovating programs that weren’t there before, like in ADHD or learning disabilities, and creating courses that seemed to be needed to fill in the gaps of what wasn’t there.”

WISH I’D SAID THAT! “If you wish to grow thinner, diminish your dinner.” — H.S. Leigh

true or false? The name pumpkin originated from “pepon,” the Greek word for “large melon.” True! In other pumpkin news, pumpkins are members of the vine crops family called cucurbits that originated in Central America. Pumpkins are a fruit and 90 percent water. They also contain potassium and Vitamin A. Colonists sliced off pumpkin tops, removed the seeds and filled the insides with milk, spices and honey. This was baked in hot ashes and is the origin of pumpkin pie. The top pumpkin-producing states are Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and California. The largest pumpkin ever grown weighed 1,140 pounds. — U of I Extension 02/17/2012 10:51:36 AM
From 10 QUESTIONS, B1 Everyone can have an influence, no matter what age or station in life! If you hosted a dinner for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Elizabeth I, Ronald Reagan, Benjamin Netanyahu, George Washington, Hillary Clinton, Eva Peron, Abraham Lincoln and Moses. I strongly identify with a political party, but one of my great passions in life is to facilitate bi-partisan discussion and debate. What are you currently reading? I am reading “This Town,” by Mark Leibovich. It is a witty, entertaining and very accurate portrayal of life inside The Beltway. You can take the girl out of D.C. … What is it that you most dislike? Unauthentic people and cloudy days in San Diego! What is your most-prized possession? A Chanukah menorah passed down
through my family for generations. In a fire, I would grab my purse, cell phone, important papers and that menorah. What do you do for fun? Since moving to La Jolla, I try to live my life outdoors and enjoy spending time hiking, paddleboarding, and playing tennis. I was exposed to the symphony, opera and Broadway at a young age and have season tickets to all … it keeps me busy! I consider myself a “foodie” and enjoy cooking and checking out new restaurants. And how can I not mention frequenting La Jolla beaches? We live in one of the most beautiful spots in the world! What is your motto in life? MIH: Make It Happen! What would be your dream vacation? Three weeks in Italy, starting with the main cities and the tourist sites, and then driving throughout the countryside to experience the local life and fare.

QZ (Eva Kaminsky) and Bryan (Michael Laurence) try to reconnect through their turmoil in the world premiere of Samuel D. Hunter’s ‘The Few’ at The Old Globe.
LA JOLLA LIGHT - october 17, 2013 - Page B21
Bryan (Michael Laurence) finds excuses why Matthew (Gideon Glick) has no place at his newspaper in ‘The Few.’ Photos by Jim Cox
Let’s Review Diana Saenger
‘The Few’ asks serious questions
S
et in a trailer in a small Idaho town, playwright Samuel D. Hunter’s “The Few” focuses on three emotionally damaged people. Hunter said several of his works, including “The Few,” contain the theme of “the bewildered young man.” This is foremost in Bryan (Michael Laurence), who walks into the trailer and stuns QZ (Eva Kaminsky) and Matthew (Gideon Glick), who are trying to get their weekly newspaper out. As Bryan stands there mum, looking like a wounded warrior, QZ lays into him with anger-fueled questions and innuendos. It’s apparent they once had a relationship, but as QZ takes him to task for not calling her during his extended trucker road trip, she informs him she has moved on and even has a new e-mail suitor who has proposed. Matthew, on the other hand, clearly has affection for Bryan and is so excited he has returned. But Bryan, the owner of the newspaper, is not friendly to Matthew and tells him he’s fired. This irritates QZ, since she has been nurturing the paper on her own for years, turning it into a profitable publication. The three characters argue, drink, stomp off, come back and challenge everything they know about themselves and each other. As strange and often funny voicemails continue playing on the office answering machine, Bryan is made aware that the newspaper, once full of substance, is now driven by personal ads from lonely truck drivers. While QZ and Bryan continue to work their way through past issues, Matthew remains a lost soul in this trio. A product of a somewhat dismal life, Matthew has always idolized Bryan. To be treated so baldy by him nearly breaks his heart. But

■ When: Through Oct. 27 ■ Where: Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego ■ Tickets: From $29 ■ Box Office: (619) 234-5623 ■ Website: TheOldGlobe.org beyond feeling sorry for himself, Matthew is truly concerned for Bryan as he watches his idol hit rock bottom, ready to give up. Glick provides much of the humor in this show (beware when the BB gun comes out). Though dialogue conveying QZ’s current feelings for Bryan grows repetitive at times, Kaminsky is exceptional in the role. Likewise, Laurence is solid as the wounded and lost Bryan. Scenic design by Dane Laffrey puts the audience square in the center of this story. Several old computers blinking to stay alive, and stacks and stacks of newspapers throughout the office effectively take the audience back in time. The small sofa and microwave for snacks suggest that no one leaves until deadlines are met. The back-story of how their paper came to be is a thread that feeds the needle connecting each of these lives. Interwoven details about truckers’ lives on the road add an interesting touch of Americana many playgoers may not know much about. “The Few” is short and engaging, but with standout performances by all three actors. Note: Several scenes contain depictions of smoking.

La Jolla is home, and like all homes, it needs maintenance and TLC. Mere tax dollars aren’t enough. Together, we can pool our resources to keep La Jolla the jewel that it is. The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis. Membership is open to all La Jollans who care. Join the LJCF and have a voice in selecting annual grant recipients – making a difference here, at home, where you live. Please join us. Annual local projects will receive 75% of your contribution and the other remaining 25% will go into a permanent endowment.
