By Pat Sherman La Jolla’s coastal weather helped turn more than Village landscaping green this summer. Village merchants, hoteliers and restaurateurs by and large had a profitable summer, though overall, business may have been down slightly from the previous summer — particularly in terms of local consumer dollars, interviews with business owners reveal. ‘Golden Slumbers’ Hotel tax revenue from June 1 to Aug. 31 in La Jolla was $4,174, 821 — down slightly from the same period in 2011, which was $4,268,288. (A representative from the office of San Diego’s independent budget analyst said this summer’s figure should increase slightly, as receipts are still trickling in for August). Eric Lund, vice-president of community relations for the San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau (ConVis), said summer business at

George Hauer of George’s at the Cove said 2011 was his most successful year. Things were down only slightly this summer, which he attributes to the economy and new dining options in the Village. PAT SHERMAN San Diego County hotels was better than in 2010, though he said the region has “a way to go to get back to 2009 levels, when we peaked.” “That’s when we initially lost a lot of group and leisure travel,” due to

the down economy, he said. Lund said hotel occupancy in La Jolla for July — the most recent month ConVis has figures for — was about the same as 2011, though La Jolla hoteliers saw a 6.9 percent

increase in average room revenue (accounting for more expensive rooms and incidentals like room service and spa treatments). “La Jolla was looking really good during the summer, and really good as a sub-group,” Lund said. From July to September, La Valencia hotel on Prospect Street had an occupancy rate of 83.05 percent and an average room rate of $372 — up from 79.35 percent and $353 last summer, or about a 4-5 percent increase each. “We contribute this growth to an increase in leisure travelers this summer, compared to last,” as well as recent renovations to the hotel, La Valencia’s sales and marketing coordinator, Kristen Poole, said. Krista Baroudi, general manager of La Jolla Cove Suites on Coast Boulevard said she saw a boost in occupancy of as much as 20 to 30 percent this summer — an increase she attributes to the exposure the hotel received while appearing on

Merchants Association elects new board members By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) welcomed some new faces onto its board of directors Oct. 10, and congratulated a few current board members who won their bids for reelection. Of the 12 candidates vying for a slot on LJVMA’s board, the top eight vote-getters receiving a twoyear board term were: current board president Phil Coller (61 votes); hotelier Krista Baroudi (55); restaurateur Michael Soleri (51); attorney Stott Levin (48), gallery owner Lorna York (47); real estate agent Trenton Bonner (46); merchant Leon Chow (43); and CPA and attorney Mark Krasner (39). Before the election results were announced, current board president Phil Coller thanked resigning and termed-out board members for their service, and offered a caveat to new members. “Being a director of this board requires commitment,” he said, noting that board members are required to offer a “very low” four hours per month minimum of service to the organization, and attend a course on the Brown Act (which governs public access to local legislative meetings). “Some people are passionate and others are not,” Colleer said. “We are looking for passion on this board. If you’re elected and you can’t commit to a reasonable amount of time, attend almost every board meeting, actually build up committees about something that you have a passion (for) … please decline. I don’t want

La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s newly elected board members are La Jolla Blue Book President Scott Levin; La Jolla Cove Suites’ General Manager Krista Baroudi; Leon Chow of C&H Photo; current board president Phil Coller of Everett Stunz; certified public accountant and attorney Mark Krasner; and Trenton Bonner of Coastal Real Estate. (Not pictured are Michael Soleri of Hennessey’s Tavern and Lorna York of Madison Gallery). Pat Sherman anybody on this board, including me, who isn’t passionate.” Officer elections will be held next month. In other La Jolla Village Merchants Association news: n Pillage the Village: An array of Village merchants will participate in a ‘Pillage the Village’ trick-or-treat-style event for kids along Girard Avenue, 3-6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 31. During the event, designed as a safe and secure Halloween option for children, merchants displaying Pillage posters will welcome trick or treaters to their stores. n Audit results: Tom Brady said LJVMA’s first audit will soon be finished, providing numbers for the organization’s fiscal year,

ending June 30, 2012. Results will be available at lajollabythesea.com n La Jolla Christmas Parade: Ann Kerr Bache of the La Jolla Town Council offered an update on this year’s La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival. She urged the merchants to help promote the parade, which is in dire need of funding if it is to occur this year. Kerr Bache said she has sent more than 300 letters soliciting donations for the parade, which costs about $55,000 to produce for security, insurance and fees. A county Neighborhood Reinvestment grant the parade foundation usually received through County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price is no longer available, due to a change in rules governing

how the grant money is spent, Kerr Bache said. The LJVMA directors voted to approve a motion offering their support for the parade and holiday festival, 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 2. The deadline to reserve a float in this year’s parade is Oct. 31. Last year’s event included the participation of more than 2,000 people. To donate, visit ljparade.com n Parking board funds: LJVMA directors approved opening a bank account for monies under the purview of the Coastal Access and Parking Board (chaired by Dan Allen), which began holding meetings again after a hiatus. The board previously maintained a bank account through Promote La Jolla (the BID-funded precursor to the LJVMA). The nine-member parking board contains three members from the Town Council, Community Planning Association and Merchants Association. The parking board has about $70,000, Coller said. n Information Center grant: The LJVMA expects to receive more than $40,000 in grant money to run the new La Jolla Information Center on Prospect Street, slated to open on or before Jan. 1. The grant money previously went to the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau, which ran the La Jolla Visitor Center. Services previously offered by the Visitor Center will be offered at the Information Center, which also will house the LJVMA offices. Coller said the space in front of

the center will be refurbished to serve as “the standard” in cleanliness and aesthetics for other merchants and property owners to follow. n Design division: LJVMA director James Niebling noted a shift in the allocation of funds: $12,000 will be transferred from the holiday décor fund to the landscaping fund, for the installation of ground planters at key intersections, hanging planter maintenance and landscaping in front of the new La Jolla Information Center. The total design budget for the year is $82,000. An additional 1,000 linear feet of roof-line holiday lighting will be added on upper Girard Avenue, east of Pearl Street, for a total of 5,000 linear feet of holiday roofline lighting. n New associate member: Tim Schenck, who calls himself “Tour Guide Tim,” was announced as a new LJVMA associate member. Schenck offers tours of La Jolla Village and Torrey Pines from downtown San Diego hotels. n Concours d’Elegance: Michael Dorvillier, chair of the La Jolla Historical Society’s annual Concours d’Elegance auto show fundraiser, said the weekend of next year’s event (Sunday, April 7) will again kick off with a movie in Ellen Browning Scripps Park, under the guidance of the San Diego Film Foundation, which held part of its annual festival in La Jolla last month. A kickoff VIP party for the event will be Friday, April 5 at La Valencia Hotel. This year’s event will honor spacious classic automobiles.

Fire officials issue alert to homeowners: Have two ways out! By Ashley Mackin At the Fire Station 13 Open House, held in honor of Fire Prevention Week on Oct. 11, Captain Rob Lange wanted to make one point clear: in the event of a fire, know two ways out. “What we want the public to know is, when you’re in a building, when you’re in a house, when you’re in a structure, the way you came in is not necessarily the way you’ll go out in a disaster or a fire situation,” Lange said. “If there’s a fire near where you came in, you’ll need a second way out.” He said a second exit would ideally be a door, but to remember it could be a window. To illustrate this point for children, the Fire Department used the Fire Safety Trailer, a mock twostory house for kids to explore. Fire Captain Lee Maestas led children through the trailer, asking questions and putting them through exercises. He taught 5-year-old Stella Snyder to crawl close to the ground to avoid smoke inhalation, and to get away from the fire and start yelling for help. He said an important thing for children to remember is to not hide. “Get out and stay out,” he said. He also gave her the

Check the Web ■ San Diego Fire and Rescue (SDFR) officers say several times a day, every day; someone hears a siren or sees fire engines and calls 9-1-1 to ask what’s going on. To deter this behavior, SDFR launched a website to let the public see the emergencies to which the Department is responding. ■ sdfiredispatch.org lists every call and the units responding to it, and is updated every five minutes. ■ “We ask people to refer to this website for answers to questions about incidents,” said Fire Communications Director Susan Infantino. “It’s vitally important that the 9-1-1 lines be kept open for emergencies. It is literally a matter of life and death. Answering questions from curious callers not only delays them from doing the important job of emergency dispatch, it clogs the phone lines and could delay a legitimate 9-1-1 call from getting through.” “homework” of testing the smoke detectors at home. Lange said that’s another point the Fire Department wants to emphasize. “It’s time to check your smoke detector and change the batteries,” he said. As a reminder, he said, “When you change your clocks (for the end of daylight savings time Nov. 4) change your smoke detector batteries.” With planning the key, Lange said it’s also important to have a predetermined meeting place in the event of a fire or evacuation, and to have an

emergency supply kit with enough food and water to last several days. In La Jolla, the geography lends itself to fire spreading. “La Jolla has its challenges with fire protection,” Lange said. “We have some pretty steep canyons, we have thick brush, and those have the potential to become wildfires in the canyons and Mount Soledad.” His suggestion is to pay attention to brush and make sure it gets cleared when necessary. This is both to minimize fire spread and to keep open access for firefighters.

www.lajollalight.com FROM SUMMER SALES, A1 the Travel Channel show, “Hotel Impossible,” which first aired May 21, and seven or eight times more this summer. While business typically slows in mid-August when travelers start to return home to accommodate school schedules — Baroudi said she saw only a modest decline in occupancy going into September. “They (The Travel Channel) did a phenomenal job as far as exposing La Jolla as this amazing destination for vacations, and highlighting what the Village has to offer. … I would like to think that every (business) benefits,” she said. Baroudi said her recently renovated 250-square-foot budget rooms were advertised online for the first time this summer at $99 each, attracting $25,000 in bookings within the first 12 hours. “Once we got under the $100 price-point we could really see how many people are shopping with a budget in mind,” she said. Ringing it up at the register Though final summer sales tax figures will not be available until December, sales tax in the Village was up this year in the second quarter (April-June) from $433,303 in 2011 to $446,688 this spring. (A similar percentage sales tax increase over last year was also seen in the first quarter of 2012). George Hauer, owner of George’s at the Cove on Prospect Street, said 2011 was his most profitable year since opening in 1984. “We sat there with our jaws dropped … throughout 2011; it just seemed so outlandishly busy,” Hauer said. “We have no explanation for it.” This summer’s sales have been down about 2 percent he said. “We have two very large, new restaurants in town, Eddie V’s and Herringbone, so people are obviously giving them a try,” Hauer said, also noting economic pains in the U.S. and abroad. “It’s not all rosy out there,” he said. East of Prospect, Kevin Smith, owner of Extreme Pizza on Kline Street, said his business was down overall from 2011, though he noticed an influx of visitors from outside California, as well as more conventioneers. “The local clientele was sporadic,” Smith said. “I don’t think there were a lot of residents who were coming in on a frequent basis.” Smith said he also noticed customers ordering less, sharing plates and tipping less. Phyllis Lanphier, owner of Sigi’s Boutique on Girard Avenue, said she had decent sales this summer, though she noticed fewer customers walking through the door. Lanphier said about 80 percent of her business is local — and these days, she’s seeing a different kind of tourist walk through the door. “La Jolla’s become more of a place to just come in, eat and go to the beach,” she said. “It’s a whole different way of consumerism. For us, as an established, higher-end women’s clothing store, we’re not seeing the kind of customer who specifically came to La Jolla to shop.” Lanphier attributes the decline in La Jolla as a shopping destination to the economy, as well as a general aesthetics in the Village, such as sidewalk and street maintenance. “The town doesn’t look good,” she said. “I think that affects business.” Hauer said clustered revitalization of neighborhoods such as Little Italy, Hillcrest and Del Mar offer people more dining and shopping choices closer to home. “There are a lot of good reasons in people’s minds not to travel far from home,” he said. La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) board president Phil Coller said he is hearing from merchants that business this summer was not quite as strong as last, following a steady decline during the past few years. “Touristy-type venues on Prospect I think did reasonably well, but … the general business level in the Village was not good,” he said. “Walk down Girard Avenue today and see how many parking places are open. “I don’t think the election’s helping,” Coller added. “It’s creating a nervous atmosphere.” To attract more visitors, Coller said the association is advocating for the city and business owners to spruce up the Village’s common areas and repair its crumbling sidewalks, as well improve vehicle access in and out of La Jolla. The Merchants Association also plans to print 150,000 maps of the Village, to be distributed at 500 locations countywide, including hotels, visitor centers and the airport.

Jennifer Van Galder, owner of Maudlin home furnishings on Fay Avenue, said the Village seemed busier this summer, though her interior design clients had less discretionary income to work with.

Nikki Driban of Extreme Pizza on Kline Street boxes up an Aviero pie. Owner Kevin Smith said local business was off this summer, though tourist traffic was strong. Photos by Pat Sherman Bob Meanley of Meanley & Son ACE Hardware on Girard, said his summer sales were “substantially” better than last year, particularly during August and September when the heatwave resulted in an increase in fan sales. In general, the average ACE Hardware store in San Diego saw a summer sales increase of about five percent over the same period last year, while Meanley & Son had about a 10 percent increase in sales over summer 2011, he said. Jennifer Van Galder, owner of Maudlin home furnishings and interior design on Fay Avenue, said she felt “the town seemed busier and livelier.” “I think people are hoping that the economy is turning around, and they’re maybe getting out and enjoying life a little more than they were in the past.” However, as an interior designer, Van Galder said she is doing “a lot more work for less (money) in this economy,” and having to find fabrics and styles that match customers’ tastes, at a lower price point. People have “less disposable income and are more cautious with their expenditures,” she said, noting that vendors are “reacting in kind” by introducing lower-priced goods. Leon Chow, co-owner of C&H Photo on Fay Avenue, who promotes business openings as a member of the Merchants Association’s board of directors, said he is seeing a lot of businesses opening and hearing fewer “sad stories” about people being laid off from work. However, Chow also sees a lot of vacant commercial space around town. Though he is not certain how many businesses the Village loses per month, he said it has to be happening. “The property is turning over somehow,” he said.

The power of the American Dream reaches far beyond U.S. borders, into the hearts and minds of people in countries across the globe. According to the 2012 NAR Profile at International Home Buying Activity, foreign sales accounted for $82.5 billion for the past year ending March 2012, up from $66.4 billion for the same period in 2011. While many areas across the U.S. attract international buyers from around the world, there are states and regions that have been consistently popular over time.

Political scientist discusses race for the White House By Steven Mihailovich Who will be the president of the United States? For many pundits and analysts, this election is one of the most pivotal and offers the starkest contrast between candidates in recent American history. Will voters validate the efforts of President Barack Obama and entrust him with another term? Or will the people pick former Samuel Governor Popkin Mitt Romney to lead the nation to the greener pastures? In support of his new book, “The Candidate: What It Takes to Win — and Hold — the White House,” UC San Diego Professor Samuel Popkin spoke about the campaign to a group of 100 people, who gathered at the Jewish Community Center on Oct. 4 — the night after the first presidential debate. To listen to Popkin describe it, this presidential election is just another rerun of a drama aired every four years that is rife with the same old tactics and strategies, blunders and windfalls, thrills and spills. “There are very few different presidential

Samuel Popkin on ... ■ Why he wrote the book: “The motivation for this book was to get the bad taste of the Gore campaign out of my mouth. I started it to try and figure out how could such a terrible campaign happen to such a good person? How could Al Gore so many times snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?” ■ The perfect candidate: “I’ve never found a better challenger to run for office than Yoda from ‘Star Wars.’ Yoda was from another planet and it was a dirty, swampy place, so he’d be fine in Washington. He was skilled at combat and he was of high virtue.”

Samuel Popkin gives insights from his new book, ‘The Candidate: What It Takes to Win — and Hold — the White House’ to a group of 100 people at the Jewish Community Center on Oct. 4. Dan Greenblat campaigns,” Popkin said. “They repeat themselves over and over like variations on a theme in music.” The noted political scientist has played a role in the development of important theories; authored a number of books on politics and the presidency; worked on the political campaigns of Presidents Carter and Clinton as well as Al Gore; advised political parties in Canada and Europe; and specializes in polling. Popkin’s presentation was billed as the kickoff to the upcoming 18th annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair to be held around two weekends (Nov. 3-5 and Nov. 8-11) next month.

Popkin’s central thesis is that regardless of the issues, a candidate’s status as challenger, incumbent or successor dictates the message of any presidential campaign. In that regard, Popkin argued that as a challenger, Romney offers the same fare that succeeded four years earlier for his rival: hope and change. “No matter what they look like, no matter what party they’re from, they’re talking about the importance of change and that you can hope for better things,” he said. “When you’re the challenger you’re saying ... run away with me and look what I’ll give you. You’ll be happy. There will never be

■ Who will win: “Obama has a big edge. An absolute minimum of two or three to one right now simply because of the states that aren’t close. There are many ways Obama can get to 271 (electoral votes). There are many fewer ways Mitt can get there. That doesn’t mean it’s sealed. I’d be willing to bet a dinner for four at any restaurant in the country, but not my firstborn, my house, my favorite art. It’s winnable for Romney, but it’s still a little uphill.” dishes in the sink. There will never be underwear on the floor. The board will always be wherever you want it. Run away with me and start all over.” Popkin argued that while a challenger is free to propose love, so to speak, the incumbent is encumbered by the familiarity of the marriage. But with the powers, privileges and platform provided by the office of president, the incumbent is rarely the underdog. “The president has to say, I’m safe because you’ll know

what I do,” Popkin said. “He’s (the challenger) a risk because you don’t know if he’s really for you or not. “When Mike Tyson was the most powerful, successful boxer in the world, everybody who was going to fight him would say, ‘Well, I got a strategy. I think I can be the one to take Tyson.’ And whenever they asked Tyson, ‘So-and-so says he’s got a strategy and he can take you, what do you think?’ Tyson’s answer was ‘Everybody has a strategy until I punch them in the face.’”

Popkin spoke for about an hour, addressing the obstacles and opportunities faced by all presidential candidates as well as the points specific to Obama and Romney. He noted the trait that both men possess, is rare among the people they seek to represent. “Nobody runs for president who does not have extraordinary audacity,” Popkin said. “If you want to be president, you have to get up there and say ‘I am the best person alive to lead this country and to be the most powerful person in the world.’”

Crafters protest closing of UC San Diego art center By Ashley Mackin UC San Diego officially and suddenly closed its Crafts Center at 9500 Gilman Drive on Sept. 26, canceling the workshops, non-credit classes and exhibits typically held there. Those who frequent the facility called the closure “heartbreaking” and “devastating,” and will fight the closure with online petition drives and planned fundraisers. The instructors must leave the Crafts Center by Oct. 19. “It’s pretty terrible; everyone found out their job was gone that day,” said jewelry teacher Tara Magboo. Registration for jewelry making, glassblowing, ceramics, and other art classes was ongoing when the announcement came. It affected some 500 UCSD students, faculty and community members who use the Crafts Center each year. Those registered for classes this quarter will have their tuition refunded. In a press release explaining the closure UCSD stated:

Sociology student Laura Pecenco shows off some jewelry she made at the Crafts Center . “Rising costs have triggered the need for budget reductions in the University Centers [including the Crafts Center ], which is funded primarily by the University Centers’ student fee. Decisions about reductions were based on students’ priorities and their usage of University Centers programs, service and facilities. “Anticipated expenses related to facility

renovations were factored into the decision. A recent facility condition analysis of the Crafts Center identified $1.5 million in needed renovation work.” Fighting back tears, Magboo said, “I think for a lot of people, it’s the community that is really special. Coming here is like a second family, it’s a very supportive environment, in addition to being around other creative people, it’s a nice community because you’re around people of varying experience, so I think that really enriches the environment.” Interim Director Joyce Rooks said the Crafts Center is a wonderful place that enriches the campus. “A great research school like UCSD deserves to have a great arts facility. Our teachers are great, they’re standouts in their fields. We just really believe the university deserves to have something like this,” she said. Sociology graduate student Laura Pecenco agreed. “I think there is a lot

Interim Director Joyce Rooks stands in the nearly empty front room of the Crafts Center. Photos by Ashley Mackin of stress on this campus, it’s a very competitive environment. And while I think UCSD is an amazing school with really great academics, it’s really important to have

something to parallel that, so I definitely use jewelry making as a stress reducer.” Pecenco said she registered for two classes at the Crafts Center and built the rest of her schedule around them.

She also said she was surprised when she received the campuswide e-mail notifying students of the closure. “I think it’s very heartbreaking to have the Crafts Center close, it came as a huge shock to all of us here.” Magboo said she didn’t like the way UCSD handled the closure. “I don’t really know what their thinking was ... I think it’s honestly, kind of inhumane,” Magboo said. Pecenco and Royce each said they’re hopeful the space will reopen. In addition to fundraisers being planned, there are two petitions online requesting the reopening of the Crafts Center that will go to the chancellor, vice chancellor of student life, and assistant vice chancellor. Royce said she will meet with the Chancellor later this month to discuss fundraising efforts and present the petitions. With 13,000 signatures already between them, the petitions are available at http://bit.ly/ craftcenter and signon.org/ sign/save-the-ucsd-crafts

Shores considers civilian watch program, beach projects By Ashley Mackin The La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) unanimously approved three proposals presented at their Oct. 10 meeting. They also heard Community Relations Officer Omar Sinclair of the San Diego Police Department’s Northern Division on the need for a Neighborhood Watch program. n Benefit walk approved. LJSA OK’d the Take Steps for Crohn’s and Colitis Walk for May 11, 2013 at Kellogg Park. The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America revised the plan after a previous presentation to the LJSA, where concerns were raised. Per the concerns, the entertainment will be steel drums with no amplification, and the only amplification will be for inspirational speakers at 65 decibels, which can only be heard within 50 feet. A beach cleanup will also take place that day, with two dumpsters being provided by the foundation. The LJSA offered to produce a listing of local businesses to encourage participants to shop at La Jolla Shores businesses. n Eagle Scout project. The “Friends of La Jolla Shores Donor Wall,” project was also unanimously approved. Presented by Scout Kristoff Pawinski of Troop 271, the project involves painting the wall at Kellogg Park and applying metal fish plaques

There would be five to six different fish designs, based on donor levels. Pawinski said there are 180 donors to be included. Friends of La Jolla Shores would provide some of the funds, with the rest coming from Eagle Scout fundraising. Pawinski said he would like the project to be completed in December. n Another park commode. The Friends of La Jolla Shores’ proposal to install an additional toilet in the South Comfort Station at Kellogg Park was approved. It now goes to the city for final approval.

was originally intended for a vending machine, but after La Jolla merchants’ opposition, the city never installed it. Construction will include installing a toilet, plumbing, and a door, and is expected to cost $10,000. The friends will raise funds once city approval is received. n Neighborhood Watch. Officer Sinclair advised that a Neighborhood Watch program should be established in the Shores area. “It helps provide extra eyes and ears for the police department so we can focus efforts on a lot of things within the community,” he said. Sinclair added the

Neighborhood Watch around UTC has been very successful bringing issues to officers’ attention. In a later interview, Sinclair said that a Neighborhood Watch involves meeting with neighbors and an assigned captain to discuss anything unusual, which residents recognize better than police officers at times. Captains are also responsible for distributing phone and e-mail trees, and having the proper numbers to call to report issues, like barking dogs or graffiti. Sinclair encouraged residents interested in the program to contact him at (858) 552–1631 or osinclair@pd.sandiego.gov

SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL BUSINESSES Everett Stunz debuts Sharper Images’ Response Sleep System By Marti Gacioch Everett Stunz, known for its high-end bed and bath selection, recently debuted the Sharper Image Response Sleep System, which features a revolutionary mattress designed to promote quality sleep and relaxation. Everett Stunz, is the first store in the nation to carry the line. According to Phil Coller, owner of Everett Stunz, the new mattresses (a collaboration of Sharper Image and Southerland, Inc,) are made of natural latex, gels and springs. They allow the bed to respond to your weight and body movement better than other materials do. The beds are 100 percent U.S.-made. According to Coller, support, lift and muscle comfort are essential for a quality mattress. “When you lie on a mattress, it’s actually responding to the different weights of your body parts — your hips, legs, head, etc. — it needs to be able to support each of those weight areas in the right position,” Coller said. “Lift” also plays a vital role, he added. “People in bed move between 60 to 80 times a night, and if the bed has lift, as you roll around in it, it stays in contact with

Everett Stunz in La Jolla is the first store in the nation to carry the Sharper Image Response Sleep System. COURTESY your body,” Coller said. “If you don’t wake up at night, it means that you’re moving around and your mattress lifts and responds to your body.” Muscle comfort is also important.

“You must look for muscle comfort in the top three inches of your mattress,” Coller explained. “The mattress needs to be soft enough to allow your muscles to move, so that you get good blood flow within your

muscles and you don’t pinch the nerves or impede blood flow, which gives you numbness.” All five Response Sleep System bed models are now on display at Everett Stunz. Prices range from $1,999 to $3,500 for the flat beds. Adjustable beds featuring the Lifestyle base (at an additional $1,800) can lift both head and feet, and can provide a massage and ripples. The beds (available in twin, full, queen, king and California king sizes) carry a 25-year warranty. “If you don’t like it after 100 days, you can return it,” Coller said. Everett Stunz, a Girard Avenue landmark for nearly 50 years, showcases top-of-theline bed linens and bath towels from Europe and the United States, as well as down comforters and pillows. Bedding lines include Yves De Lorme, Christian Fischbacher, and Sferra. Abyss cotton towels from Portugal are a top seller. Phil and Vicky Coller have owned Everett Stunz for seven years. Everett Stunz is at 7616 Girard Ave., La Jolla. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday. (858) 459-3305. everettstunz.com

FROM POST OFFICE, A17 historically important Wall Street post office,” said Heath Fox, executive director of the La Jolla Historical Society. “We let La Jollans know that we would be in front of the post office collecting the necessary fees for the application and they showed up to make sure we did just that. It continues to be clear that the community wants our 78-year-old post office to remain, as it is, where it is.” The task force submitted an application for the National Register of Historic places in February. In April, the State Office of Historic Preservation endorsed the application but the remaining process at the national level can take more than a year. The task force believes that placement on the local Register of Historic Resources will be forthcoming and in a more expedient manner due to the recent endorsement by the state. Also on Saturday, the task force conducted a ninequestion survey of community members’ usage and opinions of the Wall Street post office, garnering more than 100 responses. The considerable effort to

The La Jolla Historical Society has spent more than $10,000 fighting to protect both the services and the building. Its task force is executing a multi-faceted

campaign that includes: historic preservation efforts at the state, federal and local levels; legislative influence through the proposed “Community Post Office Relocation Act” (HR 6238), which would allow the community an option to purchase the building and lease space back to the USPS; and ongoing community engagement efforts acknowledging that “it takes a village.”

Light endorses DeMaio, Ellis and Peters OUR VIEW

n 18 days, if you haven’t already voted by mail, you’ll be asked to cast your vote for a variety of candidates vying for an assortment of public-service offices. You’ll also be asked to vote your stance on a list of 11 propositions — most of them dealing with taxes — in the California General Election on Tuesday. Nov. 6. Do you know which candidates you want to represent you in San Diego? In the state capitol? In Washington D.C.? Do you know how you will vote on the propositions? The voter guide for this election has 125 pages of dense description about them. Like it or not, it’s time to do your homework so you can be an informed voter; the stakes are too high to leave the choices to others! For your consideration, the La Jolla Light, has made endorsements for seats in the offices representing our home front. n San Diego voters have a clear choice for mayor: One candidate represents the city’s best chance for a forward-moving future, the other an opportunity to take several steps into the past. Carl DeMaio is, without a doubt, the best qualified to lead San Diego. He has effectively represented District 5 on the City Council since 2008. He is a selfproclaimed watchdog intent on eliminating waste and fraud in the city and in reforming its pension fund. His guidelines for a better San Diego are included in his “Roadmap to Recovery,” a step-bystep plan for balancing the budget, reforming the pension system, fixing crumbling infrastructure and restoring ethics and accountability to every level of city government. He boils down his vision to three key words: “pensions, potholes and prosperity.”

La Jolla Light endorses: ■ S an Diego Mayor: Carl DeMaio ■ City Council District 1: Ray Ellis ■ U.S. Representative in District 52: Scott Peters

Carl DeMaio

Ray Ellis

Along the way DeMaio has picked up both supporters and critics. Many of the latter are connected to San Diego’s organized labor movement, who fear their members who work for the city will be hurt by pension plan reforms. These labor interests support Bob Filner, DeMaio’s opponent in the contest for mayor. The San Diego City Council, under the able leadership of Mayor Jerry Sanders, has made great strides toward restoring stability and trust in our municipal government. Sanders has endorsed DeMaio as the best candidate to continue moving forward. We wholeheartedly agree. n In the contest for City Council District 1 representative — our first-responder for La Jolla, the Village and community-wide issues — we’re choosing Ray Ellis over incumbent Sherri Lightner. Though Lightner promised to take our neighborhoods to city hall — and has done so — she left our neighborhood issues on the steps of city hall. Was the voice of La Jolla ever really heard downtown? We still have crumbling streets and sidewalks, water mains breaking, police and fire department vacancies, neglected palm trees falling over, antiquated lifeguard stands on our beaches, and traffic

Lifeguards rescue distressed kayaker Lifeguards at La Jolla Shores rescued a kayaker Sunday, Oct. 14 after he reportedly became unconscious. The 45-year-old male was kayaking near the caves when he lost consciousness. Lifeguards rescued him via Jet Ski around 2:15 p.m. and he was transported to a nearby medical facility.

volumes at speeds whizzing out-ofcontrol. Though Lightner is a hardworker who is beloved and supported by many and has the best intentions for her community, she hasn’t built the coalitions in city hall that are needed to get things done. And to say La Jollans are frustrated over the decline of their once-sparkling jewel is a polite understatement. Her 11thhour project updates to advisory groups this fall came too little, too late. Ellis, on the other hand, has built partnerships and coalitions through his business dealings and public service. His negotiation skills and business acumen will lead to the type of representation we need on the city council at this pivotal time in San Diego history. In debate after debate, Ellis points to his work on the Balboa Park Conservancy, the San Diego City Employees’ Retirement System board, and his involvement with the passage of Prop B, the initiative to switch new city hires to 401(k)style plans, as examples of how he has already helped the city. Both candidate did incredible jobs during the debate hosted by the Light on Sept. 19, but in the end, after watching their performance in repeated debates, Ellis had many plans and ideas that

resonanted with us, while Lightner’s vision and plea for another four years came up short. n For U.S. Representative in District 52, we support Scott Peters over incumbent Brian Bilbray. Though Bilbray has served in the House for 12 years, his career lacks luster. Bilbray is chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus and a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. With these groups gridlocked over tempestuous issues, a consensus builder willing to “cross the aisle” with new ideas and no party agenda is needed. Scott Peters promises to be that kind of representative and we believe him. We’ve watched Peters learn tough economic lessons on the city council and now as chair of the San Diego Port District’s Board of Commissioners. In an interview with the Light, Peters said, “I will take San Diego with me to Washington in my heart and that’s what I really think I’m working for. I’m going to make sure that I’ll always be working for San Diego while I’m there. While I’m talking to everybody, I’ll remember why I came.” We will hold Peters to his words and remain watchful.

Feeling the pain at the pumps in California Big Oil is like a snake in the grass that rears its head every once in a while to strike at the unwary driving public. The current runup of gas prices began with a single oil refinery fire. From this one fire, every oil company in California raised prices. California Senators Feinstein and Boxer are right in calling for investigations of the oil industry. The new excuse for the sudden 40-cents-agallon spike is low supplies. We’ve heard this same excuse used numerous times before as the oil companies jack up gas prices. The fix is in and Big Oil is laughing all the way to the bank. Ron Lowe Santa Monica

Wind/solar over nuclear any day! We don’t want any more subsidies for expensive, unsafe nuclear power or dirty coal. We do want a clean energy economy and more jobs. The candidates are not talking about climate change and the need for energy independence without breaking

LA JOLLA LIGHT - october 18, 2012 - Page A19

OUR READERS WRITE the bank. Progress on energy efficiency is already cutting down on our electricity needs and is the most cost-effective solution while creating more jobs. Wind and solar provide many jobs and wind is cheaper than new coal per kilowatt hour. One of the most expensive forms of new electricity is nuclear power. Power companies won’t build them unless they get loan guarantees and charge ratepayers ahead of construction to cover the cost — $8 billion per reactor! That’s electricity we don’t need.

Let the seals be … find other ways to the sea I would like to offer my comment — one of so many — regarding the seals. With all due respect for La Jolla residents living near the Children’s Pool, I understand your complaints regarding the seals. They probably don’t know that they are so famous and are the cause of so much displeasure to some and happiness to others. Sunning their blubber is happiness. They

are in their element — not ours. Why this selfishness? Yes, they do leave their excrement, of course ... And humans? How often does our raw sewage flow into the ocean? Humans are the polluters, not the animals. Anyone who respects nature with kindness toward all living things should not have to think twice about protesting the seals’ demise. Seals take away OUR beach? What raving nonsense is this? Miles and miles of beautiful beaches are ours. It has nothing to do with those who wish to use the Children’s Pool to access the ocean. It never really did. I’ve been a resident for more than 50 years. Aw, for the good old days ... I feel the same pangs, but for many other reasons. I would be happy to trade places with those who complain so loudly (about the seals). How would they like to live near a street with traffic 24/7? That’s UCSD traffic by auto, bus, trucks, bicycle and on foot — a constant pollution of noise and unchecked speeding. Soot covers the plants here and everything else. We live in a world that has become so dangerous, so evil, because of human selfishness and disrespect for other creatures that share the Earth with us. As your editorial states, when one considers all the court, council

and commission costs that were incurred through the years for a “seals” solution, wouldn’t that money have been better spent on our children in San Diego who live in poverty, and on the education system in general? Ignorance often pairs with arrogance. We imprison and exploit the animals in water parks and zoos, without asking them how they like it. They do not come on land and push you dear citizens out of your environment. Why do we need to do this to them? I agree there is noise and smell that is part of having a seal rockery. Maybe if we kept the rope all year round, maybe if we would make more effort to keep people away from this sheltered little area, and maybe with good will and compassion, we could find a solution to live side by side. My apologies if I have offended anyone. Isabella Miram La Jolla

Officials stall on stench cleanup over varied issues n Councilwoman Sherri Lightner recently brought together the players who will need to approve any plans to cleanse the Cove rocks of the bird and sea lion feces odors.

COVE STENCH UPDATE

District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner met with representatives from the Regional Water Quality Control Board and California Coastal Commission, as well as staff from San Diego’s Park and Rec and Stormwater departments and community leaders to discuss options for addressing the La Jolla Cove odor issue. According to a representative

from Lightner’s office, last week’s meeting resulted in the following discussions and outcomes: 1) All agencies made it clear that there are no overnight solutions and no options to address the odor that would not require any permits or review by the Coastal Commission and

Regional Water Quality Control Board. In particular, there is no legal means to obtain a permit to power-wash the cliffs, as has been suggested by many citizens. This would damage the cliffs and would violate a ban on discharging any substance into the ocean beneath the cliffs, which is a protected Area of Biologic Significance (ASBS). 2) Since there are no products on the market that have been used in a similar coastal bluff setting, stakeholders in the issue must find a way to test any potential product to make sure it will neutralize the odor without

creating any runoff into the ocean or other harmful effects to the environment. 3) Representatives from Lightner’s office said they are working with Scripps Institution of Oceanography to conduct a test of the available products. Once a successful test has been completed, stakeholders can seek permits to use one of the products at the Cove. 4) Lightner’s office also is requesting that the County of San Diego test the air quality at the Cove to determine whether there are any harmful effects to the air caused by bird and marine mammal waste on the rocks. — Staff Reports

Merchants demand candidate support for stench cleanup The La Jolla Village Merchants Association sent a letter to mayoral candidates Bob Filner and Carl DeMaio dated Oct. 11, along with a copy of its Sept. 12 resolution on the cove stench issue. The resolution “calls on the city to accept responsibility for resolving the problem, safely, effectively and expeditiously.” The letter requests the candidates’ support for the resolution, urging them to express their “written commitment that, if elected, you will do everything in your power as mayor, with our support and that of our community, to identify and implement a sensible solution to this serious problem and to overcome any existing bureaucratic obstacles to such a solution.”

LA JOLLA LIGHT - october 18, 2012 - Page A21

La Jolla High Vikings football trounces University City 56-7 By Michael Ragovin The Viks really gave their fans something to cheer about Friday evening, Oct. 6. The offense came alive scoring seven rushing touchdowns to go along with a 95yard kickoff return for another score. After University City Centurions put seven points on the board making the score 14-7, La Jolla ran back the ensuing kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, giving them a 21-7 advantage. After that it was all La Jolla rolling up 35 straight points and never looking back. Mat Rosenberg, a member of the coaching staff, said he thought the offensive line played pretty well and took charge early in the game. The offense piled up 245 yards rushing, which is 133 more than the team’s average. Rosenberg was happy to report that three sophomores scored and that several running backs shared the ball with none gaining more than 100 yards. The Viks dominated possession having to punt only once. This allowed the defense to be fresh thus allowing UC High only seven points. Rosenberg said the future looks

Scenes from a previous Challenged Athletes Foundation Triathlon Challenge at La Jolla Cove.

FILE

5,000 athletes expected at the Cove Sunday The Challenged Athletes Foundation will welcome more than 5,000 supporters — spectators and participants — to the La Jolla Cove on Sunday, Oct. 21 for the 19th annual Aspen Medical Products San Diego Triathlon Challenge. The full day-long event (schedule not available at pres time), which also includes the 24-Hour Fitness Tour de Cove cycling marathon and Kaiser Permanente Thrive-5K Fitness Walk and Wawanesa Family Fun Zone, is expected to raise more than $1 million to help physically challenged individuals get off the sidelines and

On the Web ■ challengedathletes.org into the game. The event began 19 years ago as a small fundraiser to help a local injured triathlete regain his independence through the sport he loved. Today the Challenge has grown into a celebration of life and sport that is making a difference in the lives of physically challenged athletes around the world.

SDTC is an event unlike any other. It features a “challenge” distance triathlon, a 1 mile swim, 44 mile bike, and 10 mile run, in which more than 200 challenged athletes will compete side-by-side with 500 able-bodied athletes, including celebrities and sports legends such as NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton, two-time Ironman World Champion Scott Tinley, protriathletes Jordan Rapp, Meghan Newcomer, and Sarah Piampiano and stars from ABC’s The Bachelor and The Bachelorette: Dr. Andy Baldwin, Roberto Martinez, Tenley Molzahn, and Kiptyn Locke.

Disabled Sailing Championships set for Oct. 26-28, San Diego Harbor The Southwestern Yacht Club will host U.S. Sailing’s national Disabled Sailing Championships, Oct. 26-28. The event features 11 races to be sailed over three days in San Diego harbor between Shelter-Harbor Islands and Coronado Island. Participants with varying levels and types of disabilities are expected from across the U.S. and Canada, including paraplegics, amputees, and blind sailors. Able-bodied sailors sometimes crew with the disabled. The number of sailors on board depends on the craft and the classification of the disability. The regatta is administered by the U.S. Disabled Sailing Championship Committee and designated a Grade 1 event. Southwestern Yacht Club is one of the largest, oldest and most prestigious yacht clubs in San Diego. Founded in 1925, it has developed into a full-service operation, with nearly 750 members embracing all forms of yachting, fishing, and social activities.

A Remarkable Life So Far

Walter Munk is often referred to as the world’s ‘greatest living oceanographer.’ He turns 95 years old on Oct. 19. COURTESY PHOTOS

Walter Munk shares swell sea stories n Walter Munk: “This was 1940. Harald Sverdrup (right) was then director of Scripps Institution, which consisted of 15 people, not 50, including the gardener. We’re about 1,500 people now. I was back next summer asking Harald Sverdrup whether he would take me on as a teacher. He said nothing for 10 long seconds, the longest silence in my life, I think, and then said, ‘Well I suppose so, but I want you to know that I can not think of a single job that’s going to open up in the next 12 years.’ And I quickly said ‘I’ll take it.’ You see, the situation was that the only jobs in oceanography were at Scripps, in Seattle and in Monterrey and so you had to wait for someone to die before you could find a job.”

What brought you to La Jolla? I’ve lived in Carlsbad for over two decades, and over the years was often in La Jolla for business or social reasons. I came to very much admire this community. When I returned from Los Angeles after completing a consulting position, my ambition was to be executive director of a cultural institution, and the opportunity to join the La Jolla Historical Society came at just the right time. This is such a beautiful place, with such a rich history, and with citizens sincerely committed to the local community. It’s a great match for me, and I feel extremely fortunate to be here in La Jolla. How would you improve the area? Over the next couple of years, what I hope we can add to the community is a historically preserved, adaptive reuse renovation of Wisteria Cottage and the La Jolla Historical Society campus. With our collection and research archives, and exhibition and education programs, my aspiration is that we sustain the Society as a relevant and active community resource, a place that is important and inspiring to current and future generations of La Jollans and to those who visit this community. Who or what inspires you? Philosopher’s Walk, Kyoto, during the Spring cherry blossom season.

SEE 10 QUESTIONS, B13

n Walter Munk: “I’d like to take you back to 1939, when I had just finished my junior year at Cal Tech (California Institute of Technology) and came down to Scripps to work here for the summer. I wish I could tell you that it was love of oceanography. It wasn’t. I was dating a girl whose grandparents were living in La Jolla and I needed a job. We spent a wonderful summer here. We ate abalones that we picked off the Scripps Pier at low tide for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now here’s a picture taken at the time. You see the incoming swell. You see Scripps in the foreground. And then there were a few summer cottages toward the Cove and nothing in-between. Two miles of totally undeveloped land. It was a wonderful summer. My romance with my girlfriend ended but I had fallen in love with Scripps and I’ve been in love with Scripps all my life.”

By Steven Mihailovich ll sorts of folks owe a lot to legendary Scripps oceanographer Walter Munk, from surfers hoping to ride the perfect wave to combat veterans hoping to survive their amphibious attack on enemy positions in World War II. Born in Vienna when it was still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the 94-year-old Munk pioneered the study of ocean swells that allowed for forecasting them, discovering that the waves hitting the beach at La Jolla Shores could originate from a storm 9,000 miles away in the Indian Ocean. Munk also made pivotal contributions on questions such the Earth’s rotation, the role of tides, ocean acoustics and why only one side of the moon faces the Earth. Currently professor of geophysics emeritus at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and with countless awards under his belt, Munk presented an overview of his phenomenal career stretching seven decades in a lecture at the Birch Aquarium on Oct. 8 titled “Where the Swell Begins.” A packed house of about 150 people attended. These images and quotes were taken from that presentation and come courtesy of Munk.

President Obama currently earns $400,000 per year, along with a $150,000 expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account, and $19,000 for entertainment. The retirement benefits received by former Presidents include a pension, Secret Service protection, and reimbursements for staff, travel, mail, and office expenses.

The Protein Roll combines scallops, albacore, spicy tuna, avocado and crab, wrapped in soy paper.

Pacific Rim specialties draw sushi-lovers to Café Japengo By Kelley Carlson ts name means “land of mystery,” yet Café Japengo appears to be well-known among San Diegans. Although Café Japengo is located across the street from the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine, in Restaurant Village, it’s more of a local joint than a hotel restaurant. By day, it tends to draw the business crowd. At night, it becomes louder and more trendy. During the summer, there are concerts in the common area shared by the nearby eateries. Inside, much of the activity centers around the sushi bar. Among the sushi chefs’ creations is the Protein Roll with spicy tuna, albacore, scallop, crab, avocado and scallions wrapped in soy paper and topped with garlic-ginger ponzu. Meanwhile, guests sit around the large, square counter, under drapery crafted from noreen (material wrapped around sushi carts in Japan) and keep an eye on the action. The chefs can prepare delicacies based on customers’ preferences, according to General Manager Monia Tonazzo. She recommends patrons become acquainted with a particular chef. “Our chefs are all artists; they all have their own styles,” Tonazzo said. Frequent diners also can take advantage of membership in the Sunday Night Tengu Club. Every half-hour, a prize wheel is spun, and sushi bar patrons wearing Café Japengo anniversary T-shirts are eligible to win gift cards and food. In addition, they receive $10 gift cards for every $50 they spend. Guests who opt to sit in the bar and sip

Nearby are framed kites featuring images of actors who starred in kabuki theater productions. In the main dining room, shoji screens separate booths. The screens — some of which can be seen through — represent the secrecy of the East and mystery of the West. The cuisine is a combination of simplicity and freshness, Tonazzo said. More organic, farm-to-table types of ingredients and sustainable seafood are being incorporated into the dishes these days, and the menu changes every six months. “We want to keep it exciting,” Tonazzo said.

Kobe Beef Burger with shishito peppers, shiitake, onion rings, white cheddar and sriracha-barbecue mayo. Yet there are staples, some of which are shared by Café Japengo’s related restaurants in Hawaii. One appetizer that seems to be popular is the Roasted Shishito Peppers with ponzu and bonito shavings. Another favorite starter is the Curry Dusted Calamari with Thai lime vinaigrette and chuka salad. A few sandwich and burger selections are available during lunchtime, such as the Kobe Beef Burger. Main entrees served throughout the day include the flaky and delicate Miso Butterfish with Asian truffle broth, shrimp dumplings, jemiji mushrooms, bok choy and gobo root; and Ten Ingredient Fried Rice, which incorporates chicken, shrimp, pork, egg, mushroom and various vegetables.

JAE-HYO LEE

Exhibition: October 18th - November 14th Opening/Artist Reception: October 27th, 6-9pm

“I certainly do not have the power to make the world beautiful. I just hope to make those things that are seen beautiful.” - Jaehyo Lee Since graduating in 1992 with a BFA from the Hong-Ik University, Jaehyo Lee (1965) has gained acclaim both in his native Korea and internationally for his distinct yet intimately crafted oeuvre. Combining distinct traces of Land Art, Arte Povera and Minimalism Lee´s works cast a questioning eye over the roots of form, its function and its role within the natural world. Lee´s works willfully play with the oft-contested boundaries between modern art and design, referencing the idealist´s cubes, cylinders, and cones as perversions of the chaise longue, the coffee table, the lampshade, and even the humble doughnut. Revealing a subtly humorous and unsentimental attitude to nature, what unites these works is a belief that the beauty of art is a product of the labour from whence it comes, whether this be the meticulous carving of larch trunks into the form of a perfect sphere or, equally, the precise bending and sanding of thousands of nails hammered one after another into a hunk of cut lumber. Amongst many other distinctions Jaehyo was in 1998 Grand Prize Winner at the Osaka Triennial and in 2002 recipient of the prestigious Irish Sculpture in Woodland commission. His works are held in public and private collections across Europe, Asia and North America. Contact gallery for private preview of works.

FROM MUNK, B1 n Walter Munk: The Germans were sinking our merchant ships at a frightening rate and something had to be done about anti-submarine warfare. I joined the Navy Laboratory at Point Loma, this thing called the Radio and Sound Lab, to learn something about submarine detection. A few months later, I found myself working in the Pentagon and learned the Allies were planning an amphibious landing. The first initiative of the Allies, who were at that time losing the war, were planning a landing in northwest Africa. I went to South Carolina and observed some landing exercises. When the waves exceeded five feet, the landing craft would be swamped, filled with water, people would get hurt and the exercise would be canceled until a future day, when the waves were lower. I looked up some literature and found that in the winter in northwest Africa, the waves on the average exceeded six feet. It seemed like a catastrophe about to happen. The only thing you could do that made any sense was to learn enough about waves so you could predict it and then pick a few good days. A few calm days. To the best of my knowledge, it had never been done. I went to the commanding officer and asked him whether he would let me go and do some work on trying to predict sea, swell and surf for the benefit of the forthcoming landing operations. And I was 25 [years old] and I had absolutely no track record. He said, ‘No. You go back and do what I assigned you.’ I said, ‘But what’s going to happen if they come in on a day with high waves?’ And he said, ‘They have surely thought about it.’ And I since learned there wasn’t any ‘they.’” n “I was turned down by my commanding officer to work on that problem. In despair, I telephoned Harald Sverdrup in La Jolla. I said ‘Please come out. I can’t tell you why but it’s important.’ He took the next flight and we sat down in the Pentagon for a month and tried to figure out whether it would be possible to do a meaningful wave prediction. We were desperate to see whether what we had worked out was any good. We were looking for a way to confirm the prediction formula that we had made. We

found that Pan American airlines was landing their seaplanes in the Azores and had kept track of wave conditions in the Azores. We got a hold of the records and then did some, what you call ‘hind-casting,’ using historical weather maps to predict the wave conditions in the Azores where they were observed. We were doing very well. But once in awhile, there was on the records a big peak in wave height that occurred, which we did not predict — very frightening. I noticed that these spikes occurred at sort of equal intervals. When we looked more carefully, we found that they invariably occurred on Saturday nights and we decided it was more the result of Portuguese red wine than meteorological conditions.” n “We got authorization to start classes for weather officers here at Scripps at La Jolla. The only picture I could find was from one of our students. This was drawn as a cartoon of our classes here at Scripps. We had usually around 20 officers who’d come for a period of a month. We would learn as much as they did about the wave problem. What happened usually is that at the end of the first month, we found we had to completely rewrite our teaching notes because we found (learned) so much that was different than before. That happened with each of the classes. I think we had five classes and we graduated a total of about 100 meteorological officers. They’re the ones who predicted for the amphibious landings in the Pacific theater of the war. They did pretty well. No great failures. The most dramatic application of that work was for the landings at Normandy beach. Unfortunately, I was not permitted to participate in the actual prediction. Two students that we had in our Scripps class, Charlie Bates and John Cole, did in fact participate. D-Day was on 6 June 1944. It was a case of sea and surf, not swell. It was locally generated by high winds. The conditions on the proposed landing date were so poor, that Eisenhower had to ask for a 24-hour delay. The next day, the prediction was difficult but not impossible. Eisenhower decided to go in, realizing that a further delay would have meant a delay by two weeks because of the tidal conditions and the element of surprise would probably have been gone. Eisenhower wrote a letter of resignation to President Roosevelt the night before the landing of the second day in case the landing should be a failure. It was never delivered.”

he 48th annual Ellen Browning Scripps Luncheon will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20 at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, hosted by the La Jolla Historical Society. The sold-out event commemorates the Oct. 18 birthday of La Jolla’s most beloved philanthropist, a Libra, who, on her 90th birthday, said her recipe for long life was “that you must treat life well and live it in the right way … so it be will be good to you.” This year’s tribute, “Simply Delicious,” will feature guest speaker Marine Room Chef Bernard Guillas explaining his recipes for making enjoyable dining a part of treating life well. Guillas will give guests insights into the community’s eating habits and trends, such as farm to table, sustainability and “eating your colors.” The luncheon also features silent auctions and a raffle with proceeds benefiting the Historical Society’s public programs.

By Patricia Weber, 95 La Jolla Resident Since 1953 llen Browning Scripps is a name well known in La Jolla. Hospitals, parks, clubs and institutions bare her name. We know her for her exceptional philanthropy and devotion to humanity. We know she changed La Jolla. What else do we actually know about this woman? What was her political affiliation? Did she have an English accent? Did she sing in the choir? Was the waltz her favorite dance? Did she bathe in the ocean at Casa Beach? Did she swim with the seals? Let’s go ahead with the story. Miss Ellen was born on Oct. 18, 1836 in England. Her father was a prominent London bookbinder with a

vast library of the finest English literature of the time. Ellen was 4 years old when her mother died. Her next three years were spent at a boarding school. It could have been that Ellen’s father, recognizing his daughter’s exceptional

abilities at that early age, wished to give her the best start in her education. In 1844, James M. Scripps took his six motherless children (ages 3-13) on a sailing vessel bound for America. The voyage took six weeks. They landed in

Boston and proceeded to Albany, then to Buffalo via the Erie Canal, and on to Rushville, Illinois to join other family members. In Rushville, her father married Julia Osborne and Ellen gained five half-siblings. As one of the older children, Ellen had multiple responsibilities, but she did not neglect her studies. James Scripps valued his book collection and had it with him on the voyage. It is reported that Ellen developed her love for learning by reading almost all of the volumes in her father’s vast collection. This gold mine of literature may also have helped to shape the future of her brothers James E.,

www.lajollalight.com FROM MISS ELLEN, B8 George and Edward, who eventually became the country’s finest journalists. Ellen completed high school at age 17 and hoped to go on to college. She lived at home, taught elementary school for two years, lived frugally and saved enough money to attend Knox College in Galesburg, Ill., in 1856. Miss Ellen’s college entrance photograph showed a serious, round face with a small mouth, large brown eyes, dark hair and a rather prominent nose that reportedly she never liked. Knox was a strictly a men’s college. It did not become coed until 1870. Ellen attended the Female Collegiate Department where she qualified for advanced standing and graduated 1859, the second women to receive credentials from that institution. She was one of the first women to attend college in the United States. It is important to understand the mindset of society at the time; perhaps reminiscent the days when women were considered chattel. In the mid 1850s, it was believed by many that women would harm their minds and become ill if they did too much mental work! A laughable notion now, but that’s how it was back then. Ellen’s pursuit of education may have helped to create a precedent for women. Following college, Miss Ellen taught school for eight more years. In August 1873, when her brother James founded the Detroit Evening News, Ellen joined him, invested her savings in the newspaper and became his proofreader, which demanded hard work and late hours. At night she wrote articles to be submitted when other news was scare. Some of her articles were on subjects that needed to be heard, such as women’s suffrage. Articles like these became known as the “feature article”. Due to the Depression, investors were hesitant, not so was this lady! In 1878, this progressive young woman joined her brothers George and James in founding The Cleveland Press. Later, her half-brother Edward asked her to help in founding other newspapers. This smart lady invested her savings and eventually the company grew into a major newspaper chain. When incorporation of the Scripps Newspapers called

LA JOLLA LIGHT - october 18, 2012 - Page B9

Ellen Browning Scripps’ legacy includes founding: ■ S cripps Institute of Oceanography ■ T he Bishop’s School ■ Scripps Memorial Hospital ■ Scripps College in Claremont ■ La Jolla Children’s Pool ■ L and for the Village and Torrey Pines State Reserve for five trustees, Miss Ellen became one of them. Hard work and a keen mind for business soon made her a wealthy woman. Did her involvement in the newspaper industry help to change the woman‘s place in the business and social world? During this time of the last two decades of the 1800s, Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison were our Presidents. What was the political trend of the country? It is difficult to believe that only men were admitted to colleges and women did not have the right to vote! Women’s suffrage was “brewing in the kettle.” Miss Ellen made her voice heard. She spent decades fighting for women’s rights. Her photograph appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. As years passed, exhausting work and late hours led to Edward’s ill health. A vacation in Egypt followed. They were appalled to see the desecration of the Egyptian tombs and ancient monuments. Miss Ellen was a life member of the London-based Egypt Exploration Fund. She brought an Egyptian collection of antiquities to the San Diego Natural History Museum in Balboa Park. In 1890, Miss Ellen and Edward and moved to San Diego. While there, she fell in love with the quaint little village of La Jolla and moved here in 1896. The following year, her home was built on Prospect Street. She never wanted a car but Edward bought her one as a gift, complete with a chauffeur. Her motto was “the faster the better.” Miss Ellen came at a time when developers and realtors had a hay day slicing up the land into thin lots. La Jolla would forever have narrow streets and parking problems. With her far-seeing vision and forethought this lady cried, “Hold it! Let’s save space for parks, clubs, libraries and schools!” Promptly, she reserved three corners in the Village for future churches to be built.

In 1900, Ellen’s younger brother George left her a large fortune. The oldest brother, James, contested the will in court. His suit failed. In 1903, Ellen founded what is now the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in honor of her late brother. To preserve and enhance the charm of La Jolla, Miss Ellen’s generous philanthropy began in earnest. In 1909, this fine lady started The Bishop’s School. She acquired property in the Village and large land plots, such as the Torrey Pines State Reserve. In 1912, the Women‘s Club was built on the corner of Faye and Wall Street, It was there that she gave her speeches for women’s suffrage and held classes to educate women on the voting process. Some reports state that she was shy, but that is hard to believe. It is more likely that she spoke forcefully with perfect diction and with her English accent. The 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote finally passed in 1920. The La Jolla Recreation Center, first called La Jolla Playground, came in 1913. What is now the Birch Aquarium came into being in 1915 along with Scripps Park. While recovering from a broken hip, Miss Ellen found the need for better healthcare, which led to the building of Scripps Memorial Hospital on Prospect Street in 1924. The adjoining Scripps Metabolic Clinic soon followed. At age 90, Miss Ellen’s passion to help educate and elevate women brought about the opening of Scripps College for Women in 1926, now known as Scripps College, in Claremont. It is dedicated to encouraging women to perform at their highest capacity. In 1931, Ellen’s last great gift to La Jolla was the Children’s Pool and the seawall built to create a safe beach for children at Casa Beach. Now, 80 years later, this

Trick or treat or trash your house Let Inga tell you ...

alloween is approaching again — one of my most and least favorite holidays. But before we go further, let me make one thing clear: no matter what your teenager says he or she did on Halloween, they’re lying. I’m not trying to cast aspersions on your particular

kid but after nearly four decades in a very Halloweencentric neighborhood (we get around 400 Trick or Treaters every year), I can attest that this is a night when kids who would normally never commit major vandalism are happily sucked into the vortex of group stupidity. The first part of the Halloween evening is always pure fun: non-stop gremlins, princesses, and whoever the iconic figure of the moment is. We just stand on the front porch shoveling candy into pillow cases and plastic pumpkins as fast as we can and basically trying to act as

traffic cops as one horde moves out and another moves in. A friend who didn’t grow up in the U.S. visited us one year and asked why I wasn’t spending more time chatting up the kids’ costumes with them. Well, for one, you can’t really do that if you’re servicing 20 kids a minute. But more importantly, I told him, he needs to understand that from an American kid’s point of view, Halloween is a business: maximum candy accrued in minimum time. More talk, less candy.

down the steps): “Whatever.” But after 8 p.m., the fun stops when the little kids go home and the teenagers come out. The police would usually get called to our block at least six times when the egg and paint and shaving cream wars got out of control. Finally the police got the message and just moved in en masse at 5 p.m. and set up a counteroffensive. Seriously, we’ve had such a major police presence in our neighborhood on Halloween for the last several years that if Mitt Romney drove by on the way to his La Jolla digs, he’d wonder why he doesn’t get that kind of attention. But in the 30-some years before that, it was pretty insane. One year, a group of local teens thought it would be wildly good fun to break into a neighbor’s house being remodeled and spray paint the new custom kitchen cabinets with black graffiti. Vandalizing cars, knocking over brick retaining walls, dumping trash cans out into the street, and breaking the occasional car window were all part of the merriment. Another year the police barely saved the lives of five high schoolers who were being beaten to a pulp by a bunch of drunk college kids who caught them defacing

their cars. And yet another year, some irate teens retaliated against some eggthrowing counterparts by using two-by-fours to smash in the windshield of the pelters’ car — with them in it. But hey, it’s Halloween! It’s just kids being vandals, er, kids! The police would invariably round up a group of miscreants, some of whom I would recognize since they were either neighborhood kids or classmates of my sons. (And let me make no insinuations that my kids were saints.) The officer would admonish the assembled reprobates that if he saw them again that evening, they were going to the substation. I guess you can’t blame the police for not wanting to do the paperwork. But the second the police were gone, the barbarian invasions began anew. Sometimes I would see a parent of one of these kids in the next few days and say, “So what did Joey do for Halloween?” And Dad would say, “Oh, he just went over to a friend’s house and they watched TV.” Of course, that was back in the days when you could actually call over to someone’s house and check on them. Not that anyone ever did, of course, because as Dad quickly added, he trusted the kid implicitly. Trust your kid implicitly

the other 364 days a year. Sometimes I’d mention that actually, the police had rounded up Joey and a bunch of other kids for vandalizing my neighborhood. Invariably — and we really are talking 100 percent of the time — I’d get a call back in a day or two that Dad had talked to Joey and Joey admitted that yes, he was there but he “wasn’t doing anything, just watching.” And Dad wanted to assure me that he trusts Joey’s version of this implicitly. No point in telling Dad that Joey, the lying little weasel, was actually one of the ringleaders of this operation. (As you can tell, I get testy when people vandalize my property.) But more to the point, it always stunned me that a) I heard this excuse so often and b) that parents would actually accept it. I made so many mistakes with my children that they keep lists both alphabetically and chronologically. But the felony murder rule always applied: you were there, you were guilty. I would have laughed in their little faces if they’d ever tried to pull that excuse on me. So folks, it’s Halloween time again. I hope your teen has fun.

FROM MUNK, B6 n Walter Munk: “I returned to normal oceanographic duties at Scripps. A few years later, Sverdrup told me that unless I got a Ph.D., he would have to ask me to leave. So I quickly put together a couple of papers I had done, wrote the shortest and quickest thesis in the history of Scripps and got my Ph.D. Then a year later, it turned out the papers were badly flawed. Fortunately, the University of California has no means of taking away a Ph.D. We were doing some work off Guadalupe Island off Mexico just south of here with Scripps. We were doing something totally different than working on waves, when we get an amazing record that showed a wave plane coming in with the period of the waves getting shorter day by day in a very cataclystic way. You see, that is what happens because the long waves go faster than the short waves. So when you have a distant storm, you first get the long waves and then day by day, they come in shorter.” n “The next expedition then, it was time to have the fun of following the waves. Here is the expedition we called Waves Across the Pacific. We occupied six stations. New Zealand. Next, Samoa. Then an uninhabited island on the equator called Palmyra. Then Honolulu. Then in the absence of any islands in the north Pacific, we used the newly commissioned Scripps ship, FLIP. And finally, the one student we had in our group volunteered for Yakutat, Alaska. I volunteered for Samoa.” n “See how we were suffering? I took my

question the known hospitality of the Samoans? Never, never worry.’ We had sent a kerosene icebox so I could keep some milk for the children. I hadn’t realized there was an ancient Samoan law that the high chief owns everything in the village. As soon as it arrived, he said ‘Oh, how wonderful! I’ve been waiting to keep my beer cold’ and promptly filled it up with beer.”

two daughters, aged 4 and 6, with me. We had picked the sites just looking at charts, trying to find the areas that are well exposed to waves. We’d chosen this island in America Samoa and written a letter to the high chief, asking, could we stay with you for three months and do an experiment. And there was no answer. Six months later, I wrote to him again and asked whether we could come. And still no answer. There was some apprehension when we landed on the weekly flight to American Samoa in Pago Pago and we had not heard a word. When we checked into the hotel for the night, I was told ‘High chief has been waiting for you!’ Then he came and said ‘Yes. We built this special house for you.’ The village where we lived had no running water, no electricity, but they built the house out of bamboo and it was absolutely wonderful. The man playing the guitar worked for the wife of the high chief and was assigned to us to make us happy. When I got to know the high chief better and asked him why in the world he hadn’t answered my mail, he said ‘How can you

n “We did the recording at those six stations with eight-hole paper tape, which was the technology at the time. When I showed that to a class the other day and said it was the latest digital technology, everybody roared with laughter. That was, at the time, the best way.” n “There was a little problem. These black dots showed the locations of the storms that we had made (discovered) using the directional gauge at San Clemente Island. We recorded for three months and these show the locations. Notice that there are two locations on Antarctica. On land. It was slightly bothersome. We chose to ignore that. You know, the exceptions that prove rule, or whatever that silly proverb is. Just say we got 28 right and two wrong. But it was slightly bothersome.” n “It stayed that way for 50 years, until Bill Young, Scripps professor, and his French costar, Basile Gallet, started working on the effect of current sheer, vortices in the oceans, on wind propagation, and found that waves are significantly bent, significantly change their direction, going through areas of considerable current sheer,

of ocean vortices. If you work backwards with the direction that’s recorded and do not take into account the scattering at the equator, you would end up along the broken line and you would place the storm source on the continent. To have that very nice explanation after 50 years ... takes away the very bothersome two things that did not work. We are having fun in how we’re going to report the change, the new developments that we owe to Bill and Basile. We had published our work on San Clemente Island in the oldest journal in the world, the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. And they permit you to send in what they call a corrigendum. Usually you send in, saying ‘I’m sorry but the paper I published last year said 25.67 instead of 25.76.’ I got permission from the editor to send in a corrigendum saying ‘In the previous paper’ — even if it was 50 years ago — ‘we referred to two sources located on the Antarctic continent. When allowance is made for refraction by the equatorial current system, the troublesome source agents move offshore.’ My coauthors 50 years ago, Frank Snodgrass and Norman Barber, have died, but they will be glad to learn that the swell did not originate on the Antarctic.”

Hamilton is known for surviving a shark attack in which she lost her left arm, but made a return to professional surfing. She wrote about her experience in the 2004 autobiography ‘Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board,’ which was the basis for a 2011 feature film.

Fig Out this Fall Join The Kitchen Shrink ■ What: Series of ‘Fountain of Youth’ and ‘Fun Diet’ cooking classes

Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman

he season is short and sweet for fresh and fragrant figs. So grab a basket at the market while they last — rich and luscious dark purple Black Missions, golden nutty-flavored Calimyrnas or greenish yellowy-skinned Kadotas. Here’s a primer on everything you need to know so you can fully enjoy these California gems. In the Beginning The fig has many honorable mentions in the Bible, while the fig leaf was probably the first “underwear” worn by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden — the original Fruit of the Loom. Figs in ancient times were heralded as the cure for assorted ailments with fountain-of-youth properties to fortify the young, maintain the elderly, and even reduce wrinkles. The Greeks revered figs so much that laws were passed forbidding the export of these coveted treasures. Figs made their way to California in 1759 when the Spanish missionary fathers planted them at the San Diego Mission, ergo the name “Mission” figs. Fig trees were planted at each new mission, going northward through California. In 1882, the Smyrna variety was brought to the San Joaquin valley from Turkey and was renamed Calimyrna after its new homeland.

■ When: 1 p.m. Oct. 19 and Oct. 26 ■ Where: La Jolla Community Center ■ Cost: $40 members, $45 non-members ontact: (858) 459-0831 ■C Go Figure Figs are fat, sodium and cholesterol-free, low in calories, but high in immuneboosting anti-oxidants, especially carotenes and luteins for eye health, Vitamins A, E, K and nerve calming B that also helps metabolize carbs, proteins and fats. Figs are full of chlorogenic acid to lower blood sugar levels along with minerals, including copper, potassium, zinc and iron for cardiac and cellular wellbeing. Great as bone boosters, a cup of dried figs has as much calcium as a tall glass of milk. Also loaded with ficin, a digestive enzyme makes the fig nature’s Ex-lax. In fact, figs have the highest dietary fiber than any other dried or fresh fruit. Toss these nutritional nuggets into your smoothies, muffins, crepes and pancakes, oatmeal, biscotti, banana and pumpkin breads, fill your bird with a fig and apricot stuffing, chop into quinoa, tabouli, basmati rice or risottos, whip up a fig chutney, toss an arugula, candied walnut and fig salad, or relish them straight-up raw and whole. Selecting Figs n When buying fresh ones make sure they are

plump and soft with green, brown or purple-hued skin. If they have a sour smell, the sugars have fermented and the fruit is spoiled. n Fresh figs should be refrigerated and eaten within 5 days of purchase. n Packaged dried figs can be stored tightly wrapped at room temperature. n California fresh figs are in season August-October, depending on the variety, while dried ones can be enjoyed year round. Fun Fig Facts Figs can only be pollinated by fig wasps, and these insects can only breed inside figs, a mutual relationship in existence for 60 million years. Botanically figs are not a fruit, rather a cluster of flowers (the crunchy little seeds) wrapped around a juicy pulp. Fig puree is a perfect substitute for fats in baked goods. California produces 100 percent of the country’s dried figs, 98 percent of fresh ones. Figs made their commercial debut with the launching of Fig Newtons in 1892. Branching Out So Cal climates are ideal for growing fig trees. In fact, these fruit trees are considered one of the easiest to grow whether in the ground or in potted containers. Figs require well-drained, fertile loamy soil, plenty of moisture and protection from cool winds. They need full sunlight and elbowroom (15-20 feet apart), along with annual fertilizing and pruning in late winter before their growth. Figs should be picked only when ripe as they stop ripening once off the tree. — For more recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or visit FreeRangeClub.com

This notice is given in compliance with a written request made to the Trustee by the Beneficiary. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title

insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714)573-1965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale, using the file number (Trustee Sale No.) assigned to this case. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

REBA raises nearly $8,000 for police storefront office The La Jolla Real Estate Brokers’ Association, Inc. (REBA) raised close to $8,000 in cash and commitments to fix a deteriorating police storefront servicing the officers that patrol La Jolla. After learning about the condition of the storefront — among many that the San Diego Police Department has no money to renovate or repair — REBA member and board treasurer Jeffrey Nun, of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, dropped in. Nunn said he was “disgusted” with the conditions he found, including cracked sinks and tile flooring. “There was a real disconnect between the affluence of our community and the conditions the men and women who protect our community have to work in,”

he said. Following a presentation by Northern Division police Capt. Brian Ahearn at REBA’s Oct. 10 meeting, Nunn challenged members to donate, pledging the initial $500, which was matched by REBA member Nancy Gardner and others in attendance. The La Jolla Town Council and Bird Rock Community Council are also working to raise funds for the renovations. Anyone wishing to contribute can mail a check to: 5666 La Jolla Blvd., #168, La Jolla, CA 92037 care of SDPOA. Checks should be made out to the San Diego Police Officer’s Association and contain “storefront” in the memo line. For more information, contact Nancy at (858) 775-7575 or Michelle at (858) 775-8500.
