Workers carefully unfurl the newest in the Murals of La Jolla series, ‘House’ by Robert Ginder, located at 1162 Prospect St. Ashley Mackin

By Ashley Mackin The newest in the Murals of La Jolla collection, “House,” by Robert Ginder, is up to view on the right side of the Salazar Gallery at 1162 Prospect St. The seventh in the series, the mural was unveiled on Oct. 22. “We wanted to enhance La Jolla, and one of the ways to enhance La Jolla is through art,” said Matthew Browar of the La Jolla Community Foundation, which orchestrates mural installation. The murals are not painted on the walls, but on large sheets and placed on a frame. Browar said the original plan was to install statues around La Jolla, but murals seemed more practical. “Murals are on private buildings, we can get [the building owner’s] approval, they’re [on display] on a temporary basis and we got a big thumbs up from everybody on that.” Browar said the goal is to have 16 murals up by the middle of next year. At that point, the big picture is to rotate them to different locations. The next three murals will be installed on the garage at George’s at The Cove, and at locations on Fay Avenue and La Jolla Boulevard, by the end of the year.

Cityhood Forum Breaking up with San Diego hard to do ... but not impossible By Pat Sherman ore than 30 people attended an informational forum last week hosted by Independent La Jolla (ILJ), the group working to see La Jolla become its own city, as opposed to its current structure as a village within the City of San Diego. ILJ, which has waxed and waned in its membership and enthusiasm through the decades, is hoping to regain momentum and raise an initial $400,000 to pay for studies, maps, petitions and filing fees required by the state to become a city. Since the issue would go before voters in both La Jolla and greater San Diego, additional promotional money is needed to convince voters that the separation would be good for both La Jolla and San Diego. The forum, held Oct. 17 at the Riford branch of the San Diego Public Library, began with a presentation by Coronado Mayor Casey Tanaka.

Coronado Mayor Casey Tanaka and Michael Ott, director of the Local Agency Formation Commission, discuss the path of secession with La Jollans at a fact finding meeting in the Riford Library, Oct. 17. PAT SHERMAN In 1890, Coronado became the first community to break away from a city in California history.

“It was largely because our people were afraid that San Diego would not be as vested in fighting our fires

as we would,” Tanaka said. “You know, how do you get a fire truck across the Bay with no bridge? We were pretty sure that we were more committed to the enterprise than they were.” However, Tanaka said, “I think in 1890 the bureaucracy was easier to deal with.” Despite the bureaucratic hurdles La Jollans would face in their quest to form a city, Tanaka encouraged residents to give it a shot, extolling what he views as the potential fiscal and administrative benefits of cityhood. “I think the larger an organization, the harder it is to manage,” he said. “Coronado is manageable.” Given San Diego’s civic structure, the City Council representative for District 1 is the only one directly accountable to La Jollans, Tanka said. Coronado’s mayor and four council representatives are elected at-large,

Bird Rock voters have been without polling site for 10 years By Pat Sherman Rebecca Schulman Havemeyer was looking forward to walking with her two young children to the polls on Election Day, so they could watch their mother cast her ballot. “We were so excited to vote here,” the recent Massachusetts transplant said, noting that she accompanied her parents on Election Day as

they cast their ballots and plans to carry on the family tradition with her own children. “I really wanted to be able to go with (my children) on Election Day and … show them what an important privilege and a responsibility it is to vote,” she said. “There are certainly a lot of important issues to vote on locally,

federally and statewide.” However, the Bird Rock resident was surprised to learn that her tiny neighborhood precinct, which has only 71 registered voters, has been without a polling place for the past decade — despite the fact that it is just steps from Bird Rock Elementary School, the registered polling site for other Bird Rock neighbors.

Schulman Havemeyer’s precinct (126390), which lies between Midway and Colima streets, and Bellevue and Linda Rosa avenues, is one of more than 530 across the county where voters are required to cast ballots by mail, more than half of them in rural areas. Residents within these mail-only precincts are not without options,

however. They also may vote in person at the County Registrar of Voters’ office in Kearny Mesa, drop off their mail-in ballot at any polling site on Election Day, or vote at a nearby polling site via a provisional ballot. Each year the county receives

La Jolla veteran honored with trip to nation’s capital

John Robinson at the Iwo Jima Memorial, also known as the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial. COURTESY PHOTOS

By Pat Sherman Longtime La Jolla resident John M. Robinson was one of 88 World War II veterans from the San Diego area honored for their service this month with a free, chartered trip to Washington, D.C. to view the National World War II Memorial and other monuments in the capital city. The trip was paid for by Honor Flight San Diego, part of a network of more than 100 nonprofit groups across the country created to honor veterans by transporting them to D.C. to visit memorials and reflect on their service — all at no cost to them. For, Robinson, a retired Navy lieutenant commander who served in World War II from 1942-45, and during the Korean War from 195052, the weekend sojourn was filled with emotion. “I happened to be the oldest one on the trip,” said Robinson, 95, who was accompanied by his granddaughter, 26-year-old Kelly Ridley, who flew in from Boise, Idaho.

Though Robinson visited the National WWII Memorial during a previous trip back east, he said the site, which consists of 56 pillars and triumphal arches surrounding a plaza and fountain on the National Mall, was just as impressive the second time. “It was kind of overwhelming — just awesome, really,” the Minnesota native said. “It was so thorough and covered all the battles and everything.” Robinson and the veterans also got to witness the changing of the guard at

Arlington National Cemetery and tour Korean, Iwo Jima and Vietnam memorials, as well as the Navy Yard Museum. Robinson said the Korean War Veterans Memorial in West Potomac Park was also particularly moving for him. The memorial, comprised of 19 larger-than-life stainless steel statues, represents a squad on patrol, drawn from each branch of the armed forces. “It’s really a different kind of memorial, just (demonstrating) the general hardship they went through in

combat,” he said. However, the most meaningful portion of the trip was when Robinson and his granddaughter strolled past the corner of Constitution Avenue and 18th Street, where the Navy Office of Procurement and Material once stood. It was there that he met his wife of nearly 60 years, the late Kathleen Tanner Robinson. “It’s where I first got sight of her,” said Robinson, who worked in the building for

FROM VETERAN, A4 nine months. “She was a page girl who had just gotten out of high school.” A bold, older employee from Brooklyn eventually facilitated a meeting between the shy Navy man and the girl who would become his bride just six months later. “That was really meaningful for me,” he said. Robinson and his young bride moved to San Diego in 1952, where he worked in communications for the Navy before moving on to a career in estate planning. They purchased a home near the La La Jolla Country Club for $19,000. Robinson was aboard ship when his wife called to tell him about the then newlyconstructed home near the intersection of Pearl Street and Cabrillo Avenue. Though she didn’t think Robinson would like living on a steep hill, they purchased the home the following day. Robinson’s children all graduated from La Jolla High School, including two sons who went on to play baseball in the major leagues. His sons’ names, Dave (outfielder,

Granddaughter Kelly Ridley said she was honored to be with her grandfather as he strolled down memory lane in the nation’s capital. “It was amazing for all the veterans,” Ridley said. “They seemed like they were on cloud nine.” The memorials brought back deep-seated memories that even some of the veterans’ closest family members couldn’t trigger, she said. “Most of them had not been to D.C. so that was great getting to see their emotions — the tears and smiles,” Ridley said. “They could remember exactly where they were, to the date. … Every one of them had such different experiences and memories. It’s something very cool that will soon be gone.”

from CITYHOOD, A1 and represent the city’s interests as a whole. “You shouldn’t rely on just one person,” Tanaka said, noting that both the San Diego Unified School District and the City of San Diego are split into smaller districts to make them more manageable. “It is more efficient, and perhaps smarter, to simply have your own group — a group that answers to you,” he said. “Your identity is maintained, your values are maintained and the people who are governing on your behalf really are cut from your own cloth.” Though La Jolla has a larger population (about 44,000) than Coronado (about 25,000), Tanaka said La Jolla and Coronado are “very similar” in their affluence and sense of history and identity. “In Coronado we’re all islanders; we all identify with the same features as a community,” he said. “I think that being your own city certainly allows you to cultivate that.” However, Tanaka cautioned, becoming a city comes at a high price. Fees akin to alimony payments must be paid to San Diego for a period of time. “They’re not going to let you do it for free,” he said. “Can you afford whatever the ransom is that they’re

going to make you pay for that independence?” Though Independent La Jolla hired a Berkeley company to conduct a financial feasibility study on La Jolla becoming its own city (as required by state law), according to ILJ President Cindy Greatrex, it took the City of San Diego three years to provide the figures needed to complete the study. “The numbers simply aged out,” she said, noting that money for a new feasibility study is now required. The last study showed that the area roughly defined as La Jolla within the 92037 ZIP code showed a surplus in tax revenue of about $1.8 million. Tanaka said Coronado’s operating budget is about $38 million. Its surplus this year was between $2-$3 million, down from $3-$5 million prior to the recession. “I assume your tax base is similar and I think the potential is there for you (to incorporate),” he said, “but you’re going to have to look at your numbers. If you really are going to have a chance to be independent, you’re going to have to be financially independent.” Michael Ott, director of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the group that oversees land annexation in the state of California, provided information about the

secession process, which the state technically refers to as a “special reorganization.” Ott began with a sobering fact. The last time a California community was successful in its attempt to break away from a city was Monterey Park, in 1916. “That is somewhat intentional,” Ott said. “California has been a growth-oriented state ever since the Gold Rush. … All of the laws favor expansion of municipalities, not division of them.” An attempt by the residents of San Ysidro to break away from San Diego in 1973 was unsuccessful, despite LAFCO’s approval, Ott said. Coronado remains the only community to successfully

secede from San Diego. It is much easier for an unincorporated portion of a county to become its own city, as happened with Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas, Ott said. For La Jolla to become its own city, the action must be approved by LAFCO, as well as a simple majority of voters in both La Jolla and the City of San Diego. Ott said he is optimistic about La Jolla’s chances to achieve the numbers required for cityhood. “I think there’s a good chance that La Jolla would be able to achieve financial feasibility … but the big question would be the alimony payment,” he said.

Incorporating as a city would require “revenue neutrality,” he said, meaning that there would be no longterm fiscal impact on the City of San Diego. La Jolla’s secession would also require an environmental impact study, he said. Another issue broached during the forum was whether the proposed ‘City of La Jolla’ would create its own police, emergency response and fire departments, or contract those services out with another municipality or agency. Tanaka said newly formed cities can benefit from economies of scale by creating or joining what is known as a Joint Powers Authority (JPA), a agency operated collectively by two or more local governments that offer services such as fire protection or emergency dispatch services. Coronado is one of about a dozen municipal members of a fire dispatch JPA, he said. “Coronado’s assessment for fire dispatching I think is about $65,000 or $70,000,” Tanaka said. “Think about how many employees you could hire for that amount? Not even one. By sharing the cost of running a dispatch center, we’ve kept our costs down tremendously.” Coronado maintains two fire stations and one police station, Tanaka said. Its streets are repaved every six

or seven years. “In San Diego … it’s such a big organization that you have bigger fish to fry — and regrettably, something as fundamental as your streets and sidewalks” are being neglected, he said. “However much money you have is going to determine what kind of services you’re going to have,” Tanaka added, noting that La Jollans might reconsider cityhood “if you find out that you only have enough money to call yourself a city and that you’re going to have to contract out a lot of the services or you don’t have the wherewithal to do some of things (aligned with your vision).” Bird Rock resident Joe LaCava suggested La Jolla tap its wealthy donor base to “sweeten the pot and offer (the city) more money” to make secession palatable. Another audience member suggested La Jolla let San Diego keep the Golden Triangle area as part of the deal. “What we’re looking for is somebody with $2 million who wants to have on their gravesite or on city hall that they are the founders of the City of La Jolla,” said ILJ founding member and vice president Melinda Merryweather.

Surveyor says property markers are being inadvertently destroyed by city By Ashley Mackin Land survey monuments — small pins placed in cement statewide since the 1920s — are crucial in determining property lines. La Jolla land surveyors are accusing City of San Diego contractors of removing these monuments and not replacing or recording them during projects. “When property lines are surveyed, under California law, the surveyor drills a hole in the cement, fills it with lead, and puts a monument (cap) on it,” explained La Jolla land surveyor Mike Pallamary. “Once these markers are in, people start to build. Without that marker it is impossible to figure out where your property is.” California law states these markers must be protected and if they are removed, where they were located must be recorded so they can be replaced. The Contractors State License Board is investigating the city in this matter and Pallamary said he currently has three cases involved in litigation that are based on missing markers.

The City says it is working to protect land survey markers, like this one on Fay Street in La Jolla. Ashley Mackin Using maps recorded during the development of the state, Pallamary said he knows where markers should be. “You can simply go to those places and see the markers are not there,” he said. If the city does not replace or record the markers, and any land-ownership issues come up, “the property owners are hung out to dry,” Pallamary said. In the event the property has to be surveyed and markers must be replaced, this can cost property owners up to $8,000. These markers occasionally get uprooted during street repaving or city projects.

“Nothing wrong with repaving the streets [and] everyone wants new sewer lines and water lines, but the law requires you protect the markers,” Pallamary said. “That’s the beginning and the end.” The reason the city does not thoroughly protect these markers, Pallamary said, is money. “They waste all the money needed to maintain the streets and monuments on city pensions. It is simply a matter of priorities,” he said. Greg Hopkins, assistant deputy director city land surveyor for the City of San Diego, acknowledged that in

proposed improvements,” Hopkins said. He added that preserving these markers is an important issue for the city, and credits Pallamary with keeping this issue on people’s minds. “Although this is not a new issue for any agency in the State that I’m aware of, Mike Pallamary has been the primary driver of this movement to make or remind cities and counties, and surveyors in general, of their responsibilities surrounding this issue.”

Beloved ficus cut down for $3 million Top of the Cove remodel By Pat Sherman One of two beloved ficus trees at the Top of the Cove restaurant on Prospect Street met its fate at high noon Monday, Oct. 22 as construction crews took a chainsaw to it during ongoing renovations. La Jollans were abuzz last week about the possible removal of one or both of the trees, which have adorned the front patio at Top of the Cove restaurant since it opened on Prospect Street in the mid-1950s. The restaurant, which for decades offered one of Southern California’s most breathtaking and romantic coastal views, has sat shuttered for six years. It is currently undergoing a roughly $3 million makeover designed by La Jolla’s Marengo Morton Architects. Several community members eyeing the ongoing renovations contacted the La Jolla Light last week to express their concern that the trees might be removed. One source, who wished to remain anonymous, said he was told by the architect and

The stub of a felled ficus tree protruded like an amputated limb from behind a padlocked gate at the Top of the Cove restaurant Monday, Oct. 22.

demolition contractor that the tree would be removed. The source said the trees contribute to the “special” character of the Village and should not be removed “just because the architect didn’t take the time to design it in a way that allows the tree to stay.” Realtor and past La Jolla Historical Society board member Don Schmidt expressed concerns about whether the trees were being distressed or damaged during renovations. A recent visit to the site showed construction materials pilled against the tree on the left, before it was cut down. “There has to be a plan

of the Cove property in 2004, and an addendum to it occurred in 2007. According to Deborah Marengo, vice president of Marengo Morton Architects, what remained of the cottage was to be demolished, while the roughly 10,000-squarefoot restaurant is transformed into a two-story, 12,000square foot shell, suitable for a tenant to come in with a design to meet their needs. Marengo said renovations should be completed in about nine months to a year. The La Jolla Community Plan, the community’s blueprint for development, states that, “The city should encourage the retention of

for how to move machinery in and out without stressing the trees,” Schmidt said. Though the city’s Historical Resources Board or Urban Forestry division may designate a mature tree to have historical significance as part of the cultural landscape — for instance, if it was planted by a city pioneer such as Kate Sessions or Ellen Browning Scripps — a Historical Resources staff member said neither the Ficus trees, nor a beach cottage built on the property in 1893 and 1894 were deemed to be historically significant. A historical site review was conducted on the Top

significant trees ... and of endangered species on both public and private land, in order to preserve community character.” However, community activist and development consultant Joe LaCava said there is no specific language in it that says a private property owner has to “preserve and protect” iconic trees, including La Jolla’s endangered Torrey pines. “All you can do is sit there and cry,” and apply “public pressure,” he said. La Jolla Historical Society staff historian Carol Olten questioned whether a proper inventory or study of potential archaeological

resources was conducted on the property, noting that in 1969 the complete skeleton of a 6,000-year-old La Jolla Indian was unearthed by then-owners John Katzenstein and Dick Duffy. Schmidt questioned why the Top of the Cove property was not subject to the customary 45-year review required by the Historical Resources Board for properties 45 years or older, before the work commenced. Though it “may not necessarily (have showed) that the building’s historic … I think it probably would have saved the community a lot of grief and heartache,” he said.

Former Troop 4 Boy Scouts invited to Centennial Dinner About Troop 4 ■ Who can join? Any boy who is 11 years old or who has completed the fifth grade or earned the Arrow of Light Award. ■ Meetings: 6:45 p.m. second, third and fourth Mondays at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. ■ Activities: Learning about the outdoors through camping and hiking trips, helping others through service opportunities, becoming a leader by earning merit badges, making friends and having fun. ■ Website: troop4lajolla.com

By Jill Champion What do Neil Armstrong, JW Marriott, Jr., Gerald Ford, Michael Moore, H. Ross Perot, and Stephen Spielberg have in common? They are all famous former Boy Scouts who made it to the distinguished and prestigious level of Eagle Scout. Although few Scouts ascend to this distinguished award, all past and present Troop 4 Eagle Scouts and leaders will be honored at the troop’s “Centennial Dinner,” 6-9:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 24 at La Jolla Presbyterian Church, 7715 Draper Ave. Scouts from as far back as the 1960s will be in attendance. The dinner’s keynote speaker will be Rear Admiral Leendert R. “Len” Hering, Sr. Commander, Navy Region Southwest. The dinner program will also explore the Scout’s role in modern society. Boy Scouts do more than escort the elderly safely across the street. Today’s Scouts are improving local parks, ball fields, senior centers and public schools. For example, Scout Jamie Abrams’ Eagle Scout Project will involve enhancements to the La Jolla Pony Baseball Field and its dugouts. All the work will be done free of charge to the city and YMCA. La Jolla Boy Scout Troop 4, which was established in 1912, is the oldest troop West of the Mississippi, and proudly marks 100 years of community service this year. Tickets to the Centennial Dinner are $30 through Reservations Chairman Sara Jarvis, (858) 459-8605; jarvis5@san.rr.com and troop4lajolla.com

By Ashley Mackin 280 new solar panels are being installed at Muirlands Middle School and will be operational by the end of this year. Main Street Power, based in Boulder, Colo., will pay for the installation and maintenance of the panels, and the San Diego Unified School District will pay for the power, per what is known as a Purchase Power Agreement. “In addition to potential cost savings for utilities, SDUSD is utilizing the solar energy via Power Purchase Agreements to reduce its carbon emissions, increase use of renewable energy, educate staff and students to new sources of electricity, and create a more predictable, reliable and manageable energy budget,” said Drew Rowlands, executive director of the District’s Auxiliary Services. Muirlands, located at 1056 Nautilus St., is the only school in La Jolla with this system, but is one of 36 sites district-wide. Muirlands was chosen because of how much direct sun it gets. One school neighbor opposed to the project phoned the La Jolla Light to state her concerns. She said neighbors were not notified of the work, the new panels will block views, the roof may not be structurally strong enough to hold solar panels and the project may not be cost effective. Tom Wright, the school district’s Manager of Safety, Training Personnel and Environmental Compliance for Auxiliary Services, addressed these concerns. Wright said the District did not see any impact to the neighbors because the project is contained entirely within the school. On whether the panels will block views, Wright said the design of Muirlands Middle School would cover the panels. The roof has a profile that includes a slightly raised edge. The solar panels are close to the roof with very little angle, so they would not extend past its edge. He added that neighbors whose property looks down at Muirlands Middle would see the panels, but there would not be any change in view beyond the school. Additionally, Wright said the Department of State Architects (DSA), which ensures structural building codes are met and the

The range of savings “generated by the Muirlands solar panel system is estimated to be $160,000 to $480,000 for the life of the 20-year agreement. These estimates are based on historical rates and consumption.

— Tom Wright

SDUSD’s Manager of Safety, Training Personnel and Environmental Compliance for Auxiliary Services structure is sound, approved the project. As to the financial concerns, Wright said not only will school save thousands of dollars over the next 20 years, but no money was spent to get the project going. “The range of savings generated by the Muirlands solar panel system is estimated to be $160,000 to $480,000 for the life of the 20-year agreement. These estimates are based on historical rates and consumption.” It’s projected that district-wide, the savings could be $2 million to $6 million over the next 20 years. Prior to this project, San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) provided the power to the school, and what would have gone to SDG&E will now go to pay for the solar power. “[Main Street Power] basically got our approval to put their equipment on our roofs and sell us the power and so all the money we’re going to expend on solar power would have been expended to SDG&E,” Wright said. Additionally, rates from the agreement will not change for entire contract of 20 years, so Muirlands knows how much it will pay and can budget accordingly. “These rates won’t fluctuate as SDG&E rates would every three to five years,” Wright said. “We know what to budget [and] we’re going to save money and that’s why we’re signed up to do it.”

However, a provisional ballot (offered when there is some question as to the voter’s eligibility) is not counted on Election Day, if at all, offering a less meaningful lesson in civic engagement, Schulman Havemeyer said. “It’s a personal disappointment, but we are also sort of concerned about the implications for the rest of the people in our precinct,” she said, noting her fear that the lack of a polling site in her precinct and in others located in 240 other densely populated areas of San Diego County could lead to voter disenfranchisement. “In an important election … we want as many people to be engaged (as possible),” she said. “It seems really crazy to have this situation, and it’s something the registrar has known about for years and years and hasn’t made much of an initiative to change.” In response to an e-mail query from Bird Rock resident Joe LaCava, county precinct planner Anthony Eastman said precinct 126390 has “traditionally” been a voteby-mail precinct because portions of it were located in different Congressional and state Assembly districts. However, recent redistricting has changed that. “With the new redistricting that was implemented, we can see that it (precinct

126390) now falls within the same (political) district boundaries as its neighboring precinct,” Eastman responded. “In the future, we will be consolidating it with one of the surrounding precincts.” County Registrar Deborah Seiler said her office reviews precincts and their boundaries each election cycle. “For 10 years that was a redistricting issue (in precinct 126390),” she said. “It crossed two different … political jurisdictional lines. They were split by those districts for 10 years.” Seiler assured that residents in Bird Rock’s precinct 126390 would have a polling place by the next election cycle, in June 2014. However, given their options, residents of precinct 126390 “could in fact still have the voting experience” this year, Seiler said. “We have so many ways (to vote),” she said. “These people are not being disenfranchised. Sixty-two percent (of them) are already voting by mail. They’ve been doing this for 10 years, and this is the first complaint I’ve had.”

Of the 71 eligible voters in the Bird Rock precinct, 44 of them are already “permanent, vote-by mail voters,” Seiler said. According to California law, Seiler said, when there are fewer than 250 registered voters in a precinct, the Registrar can declare the area a vote-by-mail precinct. La Jolla has one other precinct without a polling place, 125040, near the intersection of La Jolla Shores Drive and North Torrey Pines Road. That precinct has 111 registered voters, 54 of which are permanently registered mail voters. Following 2011 redistricting, it falls within a different county supervisorial district than adjacent precinct 125000, where its residents previously cast votes on Election Day. The Registrar’s office said 125040 could be consolidated with UC San Diego precinct 120050, though it would be “very inconvenient for voters outside the campus to drive onto campus, find the residence hall, and most importantly, find a place to park,” Seiler said.

SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL BUSINESSES Sakura Judo Jiu Jitsu is gateway training for all sports

Mark Hidalgo began his own martial arts training at age 5.

courtesy

By Marti Gacioch While parents often bring their children to Mark Hidalgo’s Sakura Judo Jiu Jitsu center to learn how to defend themselves, Hildago thinks that his training is more about preparing them for all the future sports they’ll play. “Here, kids learn how to do somersaults, handstands, forward rolls and cartwheels,” Hidalgo said. “If a kid plays hockey and gets hit, this training teaches him how to fall and protect himself.” Hidalgo stresses that his students are here to move forward for their mutual care and benefit, and to help each other, not hurt each other. “Parents watch their kids compete, and there is always a loser who submits, but both kids stand up, shake hands and smile, and the parents say, ‘wow’ because they see it’s about sportsmanship, not about hurting people,” Hidalgo said. “Applying this training to our lives leads to a higher-level professional life.” That humble attitude illustrates Hidalgo’s approach to training. To him, martial arts are a way of life. He said he finds it aesthetically pleasing to see a smaller person go lighter and extend less energy while his opponent uses his size, strength and speed to overwhelm him. “Boxing is so outdated and Judo and Jiu Jitsu are a much more graceful, elegant philosophical way to train,” Hidalgo said.

Jiu Jitsu (from Brazil) focuses on grappling and submission; there is no striking and no punching or kicking. Judo (from Japan) centers on throwing an opponent. Hidalgo’s classes are open to male and females of all ages. He is training two adults in their 40s, but the majority of his students are children. “I’m good with kids and I’m patient,” Hidalgo said. “I (especially) enjoy working with timid kids and troubled youth.” Hidalgo, who opened his Pacific Beach training center in September, began studying martial arts at age 5. He studied karate, taekwondo, aikido and kung fu before he fell in love with Jiu Jitsu at 13. By age 16, he began learning Judo. He received his black belt in 2004 and has trained in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Hidalgo’s logo features a Sakura, a Japanese cherry blossom, which is a delicate white flower with a red center associated with Japanese samurai warriors. The Sakura symbolizes Hidalgo’s approach to martial arts: “You should be gentle and soft from the outside and have a fire inside,” Hidalgo said. — Sakura Judo Jiu Jitsu classes are Monday-Friday with four practices per day: morning, afternoon and evening. Saturday has one class for adults, one for children. 4645 Cass St., Suite 101, Pacific Beach (858) 270-7200

SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL BUSINESSES

Open Aire Market marks 14th year with Harvest Festival on Sunday The La Jolla Open Aire Market, a certified farmers market, will mark its 14th anniversary with a Harvest Festival, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 28 at La Jolla Elementary School, upper playground, Girard Avenue and Genter Street. Shoppers are invited to come in costume and there will be music, a balloon artist, cakewalk, carnival games, arts and crafts and prizes. Shoppers can also choose from the wares of California’s finest farms

and ranches, which bring a variety of fresh-picked fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese and eggs to La Jolla. In total, there are 36 certified farms that participate weekly. In addition, the market offers an extensive food court with a range of prepared and grocery food options. The market also highlights the creative work of many local artisans and is a great place to shop for gifts for yourself or a friend.

On the Web ■ lajollamarket.com ■ Please ‘Like’ us on Facebook Each week a local musician performs at the market. The third Sunday of each month is family fun day, with activities for the

youngest shoppers to enjoy. All vendors are small-business people so shopping the market supports the local economy. The La Jolla Open Aire Market is different from other farmers markets in that all proceeds benefit La Jolla Elementary. The market was originally started as a fundraiser to help LJES pay for a library and a librarian. Not only has it reached and surpassed its original goal, but the

proceeds fund initiatives enjoyed by all children at LJES, including school improvements, a librarian and school nurse, extra teachers for smaller class sizes in grades four and five, and programs like art, music and technology, along with instructional supplies. Not only does the market support the children of LJES, but it has also become a vibrant weekly event and gathering place for the whole community.

Views “It would be the perfect thing for all of us in La Jolla. Money talks and I think if we could raise a lot of money, we might be able to buy ourselves out of San Diego.” Carolyn YorstonWellcome La Jolla

“It’s good for La Jollans, but it would be bad for the City of San Diego because they’d lose a major tax base. I don’t know what the legislative process is for secession, but I don’t think the City of San Diego would ever let it happen. I’m a very proud La Jollan, but I think I’d prefer to stay in the City of San Diego.” Ranney Lochtefeld La Jolla

Is the new MESOM building illegal? Not only was the La Jolla Community Planning Commission (LJCPA) deliberately fooled by UCSD regarding the MESOM building but so was the California Coastal Commission. The pictures provided by UC San Diego that are in the Coastal Commission document filed in April 2011 show a very different, postconstruction view of the coast for both cars and pedestrians alike from what now exists. Furthermore, this document states that “Prior to the issuance of the Coastal Development Permit, the applicant (ie UCSD) shall enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOA) with the Commission regarding a future development plan for the Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) campus”.” However, although construction of the building, which requires a Coastal Development Permit is already long underway, according to the article in the Oct. 11 La Jolla Light, “UCSD is working in concert with the Coastal Commission to place a deed restriction on the property…” This strongly suggests that construction began before the required MOA between UCSD and the Coastal Commission was established, which would mean that the current building is illegal. This is certainly something the LJCPA should explore in their efforts to get the MESOM building to comply with what UCSD sold to the Coastal Commission and the public. Pamela Maher La Jolla

Do you think it’s possible and advisable for La Jolla to become its own city? — Compiled by Pat Sherman and Ashley Mackin

“I think it makes La Jolla seem like they’re better than everyone else. I understand why La Jolla wants to do it, they’re probably frustrated, but then you’re alienating everyone else. La Jolla depends on people from outside of La Jolla to maintain its businesses.” Amy Horne Scripps Ranch (former La Jollan)

“Yes, I think so, solely for the fact of fixing some things — like the streets. … La Jolla suffers a lot (from city neglect) and the money it brings in taxwise is probably a lot higher than the rest of San Diego.” Hart Woolery La Jolla

OUR READERS WRITE Lifeguard Station at the Children’s Pool will soon begin. However, its completion will only highlight the dysfunction of the adjacent walkway, which will remain in its current state of disrepair since it lies outside the Lifeguard Station construction area. Recognizing this, the Beautification Committee of non-profit La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. organized a public workshop on October 1, 2011 that I facilitated and that was attended by 36 La Jollans, City of San Diego employees and other citizens “To discuss ideas for improving the walkway above the Children’s Pool.” The results of this workshop were incorporated into a Landscape Concept Plan that was approved by La Jolla Parks and Beaches, La Jolla Town Council and the La Jolla Community Planning Association, and that is recognized by the City of San Diego as the approved plan for the Public Plaza around the Lifeguard Station (funded) and Public Walkway (not funded) connection to the north, including improvements to the street parking. The prominent features of this plan are seven curvilinear seat walls designed with materials linked to historic La Jolla that will gently guide the flow of pedestrian traffic and provide seating for people to stop and appreciate the site’s vibrant beauty. Seven tax-deductible donations of $35,000 each will cover the cost for the approximately $250,000 unfunded portion of the project. Each donor will be tastefully recognized by a bronze plaque embedded into individual benches. Seven donors will be permanently honored at this world renowned promontory. Like my work on improvements for WindanSea Beach, my interest in making this request is for the betterment of La Jolla. If chosen to complete the design I will use my talent to make sure the intent of the La Jolla community is fulfilled.

“I didn’t even know it wasn’t (its own city). ... I’m not all for this breaking away from everybody and having the upper-middle class people get their way … but they’ve got a point. I can see both sides. I don’t think it’s a bad thing.” Margot Kerr Rancho Santa Fe

“La Jolla has a singular identity as a little coastal community and it certainly would be a good candidate for becoming its own city. I wouldn’t object … it’s generally referred to as La Jolla, California, and I would think it’s appropriate as long it makes sense economically for everybody.” Ron Breen South Bay resident works around La Jolla

‘Animal wackos’ cause of trouble at Children’s Pool In your Oct. 11 edition, you published two letters about the decision to deny the yearround rope at Children’s Pool. Why would you print such ridiculous drivel? The first letter was written by Ellen Shively. She stated “Poll after poll taken at Children’s Pool indicate that both visitors and locals like the seals and want them fully protected.” The polls Ms. Shively referred to were non-credible shams performed by the animal wackos at Children’s Pool to support their agenda. “Lots of locals,” probably most, want the beach returned to children and they want the animal wackos to leave. The second letter, signed by Valerie Sanfilippo, is ludicrous. She said, “La Jolla residents are paying ruffian spear-fishermen to illegally flush the seals to flush the tourist parking. La Jolla needs to make a parking lot/structure .... to park and watch the seals.” Ridiculous. And further along she stated, flushed seals, “go to La Jolla Cove where people are swimming.” Ridiculous. Seals are rarely seen in La Jolla Cove; the Cove is sea lion territory and the two species don’t get along. Neither the seals nor those who want the beach to be used by children and other people have caused a problem at Children’s Pool. The animal wackos and the city have caused the problem. Dan F.

OBITUARIES

William S. Haubrich MD

1923 – 2012 William S. Haubrich MD, Master Physician, Author, Mentor, and Scholar, died at his La Jolla home October 1, 2012, at the age of 89. He was born in Bexley, Ohio, on the Fourth of July, 1923, to Marie Augusta Spies and Albert Haubrich, a father he lost early at age 8. As an ambitious youth, he attended Bexley High School, graduating in 1940 at age 16. He ventured to Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, for his baccalaureate degree and graduated Phi Beta Kappa within three years in 1943. He worked at a haberdashery on weekends and holidays to help pay the tuition. It is likely that it was in this gentleman’s clothing store that the young man gained a lifelong fondness for his signature dapper vests and elegant bowties. While at Franklin & Marshall, he was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, the Glee Club, and was a writer and managing editor for the school paper, The Weekly Student. Dr. Haubrich enlisted in the U.S. Army to help cover tuition at the Medical School of Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio (then, Western Reserve University). Writing in his two volume auto-biography of the valuable enlightenment received during his cherished years in medical school he recorded, “Beyond training and education is wisdom, another attribute of a good doctor of medicine.” He graduated in 1947, as the president of his class, having earned membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. Eila Kari and the newly credentialed Dr. Haubrich were married a week after graduation and then headed for Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for a year of rotating internship. After which they returned to Cleveland, Ohio, for three years of residency at Cleveland City Hospital

(now MetroHealth), a year in pathology and two years in internal medicine. Then it was back again to Philadelphia for a year in a gastroenterology residency with Dr. Henry Bockus at Graduate Hospital. Dr. Bockus, a charismatic and scholarly clinical gastroenterologist, trained a generation of specialists. An annual meeting of graduates of the Bockus training program was a time of reunion linked to learning of medical advances, and this event was frequently organized by Dr. Haubrich. At the end of 1951, Dr. Haubrich opened a private practice office in Lakewood, Ohio. Only one year later, the Army recalled him into service. He was stationed at Madigan Army Hospital in Tacoma, Washington, for the next two years. Dr. Haubrich was recruited by Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, and in 1954 joined the Department of Gastroenterology where he served for 15 years, during which his research was focused mainly on the ultrastructure of the small bowel mucosa. In the course of widely ranging lecture tours, he was elected corresponding or honorary member of the Gastroenterology Societies of Argentina, Chile, Columbia, Peru, and Venezuela. In 1970 Dr. Haubrich was invited to Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation (SCFR) in La Jolla, California. Scripps Clinic was then a much smaller, although highly reputable, enterprise located near the beach on Prospect Street with only 30 full time equivalent physicians on staff. He became head of the GI Department two years later. During his tenure at SCRF, Dr. Haubrich continued administrative, clinical, educational, and research leadership roles. Dr. Haubrich recognized the crucial need for the Scripps Clinic Medical Group to advance from primarily a medical clinic to a full service entity incorporating all specialties. This required major changes including establishment of a Department of Surgery which he successfully promoted and recruited the first Chairman of the Department of Surgery. Concurrently, Dr. Haubrich served as a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego. He performed his duties without monetary compensation because he “wanted to give back to medicine what he had gratefully received.”

As a historian, Dr. Haubrich was a frequent contributor to the annual meeting of the Oslerian society, The Pacific Interurban Clinical Club, where medical scholars with a deep interest in the history of medicine gather annually. Dr. Haubrich’s own approach to his vocation was consistent with the objectives of the Club: “to stimulate original work and investigation, to develop and improve methods of teaching, and to promote good fellowship.” In 1960 he was awarded the Vincent Lyon Prize by the American Gastroenterology Association and in 1985 received the Rudolph Schindler Award of the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. He has been named a Master Physician of the American College of Physicians. After 18 years at SCRF devoted to the clinical practice of gastroenterology, he retired to give his time to various literary endeavors. Dr. Haubrich loved words – their origins, their many meanings, their pronunciation, and their usage to improve the human condition. A selftrained lexicographer, he authored “Medical Meanings: A Glossary of Word Origins” that defined the etymology of over 3000 medical terms with scholarship, affection, and humor. Dr. Haubrich directed the profits from the sale of this book to go to the American College of Physicians. Legacy: Pioneers in Digestive Disease, compiled by Dr. Haubrich, is based on a series of biographical sketches that appeared monthly in Gastroenterology, the Official Journal of the American Gastroenterological Association Institute, from October 1997 to October 2008. Dr. Haubrich contributed monthly a brief historical sketch describing the person who named a disease or method of treatment. These explanations of the “eponyms” were succinct portrayals of the individuals whose discoveries live on in the vocabulary of medicine. In addition, Dr. Haubrich is the author or coauthor of more than 115 original or review articles in major medical journals. He has contributed more than 65 chapters to various textbooks, including four editions of the encyclopedic Bockus Gastroenterology of which he was coeditor. From 1971 to 1981 he edited the journal Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. Dr. Haubrich served as consultant in the life sciences for The American Heritage Dictionary of

the English Language, third and fourth editions. At his retirement from active practice, an annual distinguished lectureship was established in his name at the Scripps Clinic & Research Foundation. As a post-practice effort to sustain his belief in lifelong learning, Dr. Haubrich organized a club, Consecratio Medici, of his friends and colleagues that met monthly to discuss medical history. His presentations were invariably scholarly, and perhaps most appreciated because of his trademark humor. Every meeting with Dr. Haubrich was enriched by his extraordinary memory of amusing and poignant events experienced in his long and diverse life. Dr. Haubrich was predeceased by his daughter, Linda, in 1999. He is greatly missed by his wife, Eila; daughters, Liisa, Christina (Dan) Dworsky and Karen (Geoffrey) Miller; and grandchildren, Noah and Alden Pressing, Erik and Bryan Dworsky, and Eila and Robert Miller. A Celebration of Life and birthday remembrance will be held on the Fourth of July, 2013. The family suggests that anyone wishing to make a gift in commemoration of Dr. Haubrich’s lifetime might like to contribute to the Graduate Medical Education Department at Scripps Clinic. Please indicate your gift is In Memory of Dr. William Haubrich. The address is Scripps Health Foundation, 10666 North Torrey Pines Road, 109N, La Jolla, CA 92037.

Elaine Weirather 1926 - 2012

Elaine May Weirather, born March 26, 1926, passed away on Sunday, September 23, 2012, of natural causes. She was 86 years old, a 50 year resident of La Jolla, and was a native San Diegan, having been born and living her entire life in San Diego County. Daddy Ross Fenn and mother, Doris, raised

Elaine and her brother, Roy, in San Diego where she graduated from Helix High School in 1944. In her late teens, she enjoyed working as an “elevator girl” at the El Cortez Hotel, where her biggest brush with fame was meeting Harpo Marx. She met her husband, Hal, the love of her life, on a blind date in 1946 and they were married soon after. Early life was blissfully spent on the shores of Mission Bay, where they rented a cottage so close “we could open the gate and walk out onto the beach.” After the birth of their first child, Donna, the family moved out to Lemon Grove, and the family welcomed a second child, Edward. Once the children began school, Elaine started working at General Dynamics, where she stayed for the next 10 years. Eventually, they moved to La Jolla and were blessed with the birth of their youngest child, Michael, who is the only surviving member of the family. Michael was Elaine’s sole caregiver and faithfully cared for his mother, serving as her constant companion to the very end. Elaine and Hal traveled as much as possible during the summertime (Hal was a school teacher with summers “off”) and they visited Hawaii, camped on the beaches at Cabo San Lucas when it really was remote, and went to New Zealand, where they loved it so much, they considered moving there and opening a Bed and Breakfast! They also went to the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, since both enjoyed sports so much. In later years, Elaine and son Michael traveled, going to Scotland and Ireland. During her life, Elaine enjoyed a variety of activities; she loved playing card games, “hunting for bargains” at garage and church sales, and kept active by playing tennis. She had a big heart and dearly loved animals, especially her dogs, Charlie, Sherlock and Amber. Her last trip, in November of 2008, was to Israel, which was a place she wanted to be sure to visit before she died - and she got there! Great memories were made and food and wine enjoyed. Elaine will be laid to rest in a private ceremony next to Hal, her husband of over 40 years, at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. Elaine, we really miss you. Thank you for all that you did. You were a truly generous woman, quick with the “one-liners”, and full of stories that you loved

to tell and we loved to hear. God Bless You. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

Larry Fred Starr 1945 – 2012

Larry Starr died Saturday night October 13, 2012, at the San Diego Hospice. He had undergone treatment at Scripps for cancer since his diagnosis two years ago. Larry was born to Forrest Fred Starr and Rose Inez (Lewis) Starr June 16, 1945, in Columbus, Ohio. He graduated from Cupertino High School in June 1963. He served in the U.S. Marines 1965-1967. He retired from UCSD on June 30, 2005, after 30 years employment. Larry lived in La Jolla, CA, for 30 years where he had many close friends and associates and was well known in the community of La Jolla. During his lifetime, Larry was known to enjoy a good time with friends dispensing wit and knowledge from the many books and films he enjoyed reading and watching. Even during his time of illness, many in the community came together to help him get transported from treatment centers and to help with moral support. Their work and efforts are greatly appreciated by his family. Larry is survived by his sister, Sharlan Starr. His parents predeceased him. His marriage to Charlene Chuck Walrad ended in divorce. He donated two corneas to the Eye Bank and his trumpet to the music school at UCSD. He leaves many happy memories to his friends in La Jolla, a place he loved to call his home. A memorial will be held at The Spot on October 24, 2012, 2 pm–6 pm and a burial of his ashes will take place at a later date at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego, CA.

Restaurateur starts online petition to force action on Cove stench By Pat Sherman “The Cove used to be my favorite place to spend the day. Now, the smell keeps us away!” So wrote Solana Beach resident Cynthia Walsh at about 8:15 a.m. Tuesday — one of the many cutting posts by more than 550 people who have signed an online petition titled, “Sherri Lightner, Councilperson District 1: Clean up the bird excrement at the La Jolla Cove.” More than an hour later, Shannon Califano, a special events manager at La Valencia Hotel, signed the petition, noting the “horrible, permeating smell — not good for clients, local businesses, restaurants, the tourists and overall La Jolla.”

COVE STENCH UPDATE

George Hauer, owner of George’s at the Cove restaurant on Prospect Street, started the petition about a week ago, after hearing a presentation by Change.org CEO Ben Rattray during The Atlantic Meets the Pacific conference at UC San Diego. Change.org is an online website that hosts sponsored social justice and activist campaigns.

“I think any time you need to get the attention of the people … to make a decision, doing it alone doesn’t do enough,” Hauer told the La Jolla Light. “Coalitions work better.” The petition, which will be delivered to Lightner once it reaches 1,000 signatures, states: “The cormorant (bird) colony at the La Jolla Cove has reached critical mass with their excrement. The smell is overtaking the entire Village. The result is a loss of business and a potential public health disaster.” Hauer said he has reached out to someone in Scripps’ charitable giving department and hopes to have the matter evaluated further

Hauer’s plea to city officials? “Save us from the indignity of having to smell the bird excrement every day,”

before the spring heat arrives, further exacerbating the problem. The stench emitted from bird guano was also discussed at the Oct. 22 meeting of La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc., whose members said the stench could be smelled all the way to Pearl Street last week. The group also feels the problem should be approached as a potential health hazard, though LJP&B board President Patrick Ahern said he felt Councilwoman Lightner was working to address the problem by meeting with various government agencies with a stake in the solution. “She’s been doing a lot, actually,” he said. “I think Sherri probably signed the petition, too.”

La Jolla Town Council elects three new board members During its October meeting, the La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) elected three new members to its board of directors: former San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Thomas Goodman, pilot

and aviation business owner Ramin Pourteymour, and La Jolla Community Center CEO and returning LJTC board member Ruth Yansick. Meals on Wheels chapter president and

Bishop’s tennis player in top form for CIF Individual Championships

he Bishop’s School’s junior Kelly Shaffer, 16, with a current high school girl’s tennis record of 27/1, is looking to achieve a top finish in the CIF individual Championships that begin Nov. 5 at The Barnes Tennis Center in Point Loma. Shaffer will compete Oct. 30 in the CIF League Individual Championships and hopes to retain her MVP title as winner of the Coastal League. One year ago, in her first year playing high school tennis, 5-foot-11-inch Shaffer was a CIF individual quarter-finalist and was an All-CIF 1st Team award recipient. Locally, Shaffer was a finalist (Girl’s 18) in the 96th Annual La Jolla Junior Tennis Championships held last June. She currently has a USTA (United States Tennis Association) San Diego District ranking of five (in Girl’s 16), and in Southern California: 15 (in Women’s Open) and 21 (in the Girl’s 16) categories. Shaffer has attended The Bishop’s School since 2008 (taking a year off for tennis training in her freshman

year). She played at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club for three years; and splits her time between two residences, one in La Jolla and one in North County. One interesting family

connection of note, Shaffer’s great-aunt is the famed tennis player, Helen Wills Moody Roark (1905-1998); winner of 31 Grand Slam Titles and two Olympic Medals.

10 QUESTIONS

Sheila Fortune brings business background to merchants’ group

New County Operations Center is a showplace for public art

La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) recently announced the appointment of Sheila Fortune as its executive director. A former business owner in La Jolla, Fortune was a member of the volunteer team that came together to form the new management organization for the La Jolla Business Improvement District in early 2011. She was subsequently elected to the board of directors and was nominated to the executive board, as secretary. A native of Atlanta, Fortune has more than 25 Sheila Fortune years of expertise in business management, non-profit management, strategic planning, marketing, as well as government grant and procurement processes. What brought you to La Jolla? I was the vice president of a large civil engineering firm on the East Coast. After the economic crash in 2008, I found myself out of a career that I had devoted almost 20 years to in the public/private sector real estate development industry. It became apparent to me that things were not going to improve for a long time, so I decided to reinvent myself. I moved to San Diego to create a new business, and partner with my only child, Brandon. Together we started a restaurant in the Village (Aquamoree).

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt ublic art is a grand collaboration between developers, politicians, arts administrators, selection committees and artists, and sometimes it really works. The $358 million County Operations Center in Kearny Mesa is a bold step forward, resuscitating an old “artwork allowance” policy that allows for .05 percent of the estimated building costs of certain county projects to be spent on original works of art. La Jolla-based art consultant Gail Goldman was selected by the county to put together a comprehensive art plan for the new complex. “The policy had been dormant for over 20 years,” she said, “but thanks to (County Board of Supervisors Chairman) Ron Roberts, we got the county to reactivate the program.” The result is said to be the largest public art project in San Diego County’s history, with 22 works by 14 artists, including several whose names are well known in La Jolla. Eleven of the artists are local, among them La Jollan Joyce Cutler Shaw, whose “Orbital Loops” was the first suspended sculpture installed, in Building 5500. Only one of the art works — a tall steel sculpture made up

Zadok Ben-David’s ‘Perhaps’ greets visitors to the County Operations Center campus in Kearny Mesa.

If you go ■ What: Public art at San Diego County Operations Center

What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would replace all of the cracked and broken sidewalks with decorative pavers; put luscious landscaping in, and create small, green space/ pocket parks for relaxing and enjoying the beauty of the Village.

■ Where: 5500 Overland Ave., Kearny Mesa. Parking structure available at corner of Ruffin Road and Farnum Street ■ When: 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays. Special tours may be arranged.

Who inspires you? I love strong leaders. People who are not afraid to take a stand and help make things better in this world. I don’t care for people who complain and act as if the world owes it to them to fix their problems. I was fortunate to learn early on in my career from a great mentor; he told me, “Don’t come to me with a problem if you don’t have a solution.” I didn’t have to have the right solution. I just had to have thought out the problem and attempted to formulate my own solution. What are you reading? I am reading Jim Collins’s book, “Great by Choice.” I am also in the middle of reading Darian Rodriguez Heyman’s “Nonprofit Management 101.”

FROM PUBLIC ART, B1 of myriad tiny figures by London-based Zadok BenDavid — is immediately apparent as you stroll onto the 38-acre campus. The rest are hidden surprises, inside the mostly ordinary-looking buildings. As you enter each lobby, look up: there are impressive pieces hanging high overhead. But some of the most clever art works are at eyelevel: wall-mounted assemblages of objects salvaged from demolished county buildings by artist Jay Johnson, who teaches sculpture at UCSD and was originally short-listed as a potential sculptor. Instead, he decided to accept the longer-term, broaderranging position of Artifacts Display Project Director. For over two years now, it’s been a full-time job for Johnson. Working with historian David Richardson, he collected a mass of documents, photos, rubber stamps, antique tools and other ephemera and fashioned them into imaginative pieces that often relate to departments nearby. Instead of merely creating the first inventory of county

Artifacts Display Project Director Jay Johnson with one of his wall assemblages. artifacts, he’s turned them into art. As he says: “They’re getting an archive and wall art pieces, too!” He has a gift for seeing possibilities, like finding a document signed by Abraham Lincoln, and enlarging the signature enough to give it real presence. If not for Johnson, there would just be

an arrow pointing to the Sheriff’s Medical Detention Offices. Instead, there’s a wall of antique manuscripts, writing implements, and king-sized signatures, including Junipero Serra and Calvin Coolidge. Many of the two-foot-wide names on display came from inch-wide originals. “We didn’t have much

interesting-looking stuff, but we had a lot of documents,” Johnson said. “So I decided to arrange them in interesting ways.” Fortunately, he’s a master of assemblage who won last year’s San Diego Art Prize for his work. “There was a great opportunity for art to distinguish this place, and that’s what’s

happening,” said Goldman. “The art is permanent, it’s here to make a difference, and it already has: people are coming to the complex, not just on business, but to see the art. We hope this will be the start of a huge momentum, and that other building projects will follow our lead.”

You are free to take your own self-guided art tour; within the next few months, there should be an illustrated map/brochure to help you along, and information on the county website. Meanwhile, it’s an art discovery adventure, with the added bonus of lunch at the Commons Café.

Some say Bice is among the best for Italian cuisine By Kelley Carlson or an authentic Italian experience in “America’s Finest City,” people can turn to Bice Ristorante, in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. From the food to the employees and the atmosphere, Bice (pronounced “Bee-chey”) strives to re-create a slice of life from the boot-shaped peninsula in southern Europe. “We want to give the experience of more than only dinner,” said Mario Cassineri, executive chef and partner. The establishment’s roots are bona fide Italian, as the first Bice (a nickname for the original owner, Beatrice Ruggeri) opened in 1926 in Milan, and eventually made its way to the States. Decades later, the San Diego operation, which began its current incarnation three years ago, serves Italian cuisine steeped in tradition, yet provides a modern and sleek style of decor. Guests won’t find red-andwhite checkered tablecloths; instead, white and off-white linens are layered on top of each other, with fall-themed centerpieces of mini pumpkins and candles. Gauzy, creamcolored curtains frame tall windows; sepiatoned images stand out along the white walls. Autumnal-colored candles, jack-o-lanterns and wine bottles accent dark, square shelves. Bice Ristorante provides several areas for seating. Patrons can celebrate the daily happy hour in the bar/lounge, where there are several tables, a dozen bar seats and two TVs. From 5 to 7 p.m., items are $5, from the well drinks, house wines and the

cocktail of the month, to the gourmet bar food menu, which includes Wagyu Beef Carpaccio on a Himalayan Sea Salt Rack and Signature Bice Lobster Crispy “Pizza.” In the other direction is the dining room, where patrons can dine intimately or in small groups. Lounge music in the style of artists such as Thievery Corporation plays in the background. The dining room is also home to the seven-seat cheese bar, which additionally serves about five types of imported salami and happy hour specials. To truly get a taste of Bice, Cassineri recommends sampling the Italian cheeses. “Our menu is big, there is a lot of choice,” he said. There are 35 from which to choose, and

people who have a hard time narrowing their favorites can get advice from Chef Francesca Penoncelli, who is nearly always behind the counter. The dinner menu contains a number of selections, too, but it’s broken down into several courses. A person may start with antipasti such as Carpaccio di Bufala con Rafano e Topinambur Croccanti — thinly sliced buffalo carpaccio with mustard leaf salad and sunchoke chips in a horseradish and Dijon dressing. For the primi piatti (first course), there are dishes such as the Orzotto all’Aragosta e Burratina, which is “risotto style” barley with Maine lobster, tomato and burrata cheese. And for the secondi piatti, entrees include Filetto di Branzino alla Mediterranea Cotto Sul Cedro ed Essenza di Tartufo, Caponata Tiepida di Verdure — Mediterranean sea bass cooked on a cedar wood plank and finished with grape tomatoes and a fresh herb truffle emulsion served with caponata. Everything is made to order, Cassineri said, so vegetarians and those who require gluten-free diets don’t need to worry. This week, there will be pumpkin and mushroom delights. Recently, Bice received its $3,000-a-pound truffles from Alba, Italy, and concocted entrees such as the Risotto Carnaroli “Parmigiana,” with 28-monthsaged Parmesan and truffle shavings. “We try to stay on top all the time with new products coming in, what’s new on the market,” Cassineri said.

From the main dining room, customers can see into the wine room.

The bar/lounge is one of two places where guests can enjoy happy hour.

www.lajollalight.com FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? This is a hard one, because I love to be a part of a great party. It really depends on the theme. So I’m going to assume this one is for fun, and since it is the only time I can get these people together, I may as well stack the deck and have a great time. I would invite: 1) Dixie Cox, my best girlfriend for 28 years, and she is always good for great dinner party conversation. 2) Derek Jeter, I turned him down for ice cream once, and I need to make up for it. 3) Bubba Watson, I want to drink beer, and play golf with him so I need to schmooze him. 4) George Clooney, I would never get to have dinner with him unless I’m having this dinner party.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - october 25, 2012 - Page B5

5) Peter White, I want him to play his jazz guitar after dinner, and keep the party going. 6) Stevie Nicks, she is an icon of my lifetime, and she can also sing with Peter. 7) Danica Patrick, she is fearless, and to do what she does for a living, she has to be a lot of fun to hang out with. 8) Chef Brandon Fortune (my son). He is the best chef I know, so he will be cooking the dinner for the party. What is it that you most dislike? Being late or waiting for someone who is late … and in an area where “surfer time” is the norm, let’s just say I have to count to 10 a lot. What is your most-prized possession? That would be my son and our relationship, plus he’s finally given me

my newest most-prized possession, Camila, my new granddaughter. What is your most-marked characteristic? Knowing that life is tough for us all. I have always tried to keep a positive attitude, while formulating a strategy to keep pushing forward and creating a better life. What is your motto or philosophy of life? “Fake it till you make it.” I don’t know who said that, but sometimes that’s what you have to do to succeed. What would be your dream vacation? I would love to take a 14-day cruise to Greece, France, Italy and Spain; then head to the Four Seasons — Bora, Bora and crash for another week. This is a dream right?

18th annual Jewish Book Fair to host lectures by 40 authors

La Jolla’s Gems of the week

WISH I’D SAID THAT!

The 18th annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair will span nine days, Nov. 3-11, and feature some 40 authors discussing a range of issues-of-the-day mostly at the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive in La Jolla. The fair is open to the public with tickets, $16-$19, available from the JCC box office at (858) 362-1348 or online at sdjbf.org The fair kicks off with an 8 p.m. San Diego Saturday, Nov. 3 visit at Temple Jewish Book Fair Solel, 3575 Manchester Ave., ■ Event Schedule: Cardiff By Sea, from New York sdcjc.org Times best-selling author, Daniel Silva, who has written “15 pulsepounding spy and intrigue novels taken from tomorrow’s headlines,” according to press materials. Silva’s latest, “The Fallen Angel,” reprises Gabriel Allon, art expert and wayward son of Israeli intelligence, who is working behind the walls of the Vatican, restoring one of Caravaggio’s greatest masterpieces. But while working in the conservation lab, he learns that the body of a beautiful woman (a curator from the antiquities department) lies smashed and broken beneath Daniel Silva Michelangelo’s magnificent dome. The Vatican police suspect suicide, though Gabriel, with his restorer’s eye and flawless memory, believes otherwise.

Why are the colors black and orange associated with Halloween? Orange is a symbol of strength and endurance and, along with brown and gold, stands for the harvest and autumn. Black is typically a symbol of death and darkness and acts as a reminder that Halloween once was a festival that marked the boundaries between life and death.

Generation Stress?

Expert has advice on raising resilient, successful kids By Catherine Ivey Lee oday’s students might be the smartest generation on record. Their IQs are higher, their GPAs are numerical masterpieces, and their resumes are bursting with achievement. But they are also the most stressed-out generation in recent history, warned parenting expert Michele Borba during a recent talk at The Bishop’s School on “Raising Self-Reliant Kids to Strive and Survive.” WeCare, a consortium of six independent schools, including Bishop’s and La Jolla Country Day, sponsored the event. “The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics are saying we have never seen such high level of stress in our kids,” said Borba, an educational psychologist and author of 23 books on parenting. Having gotten into prestigious colleges,

many of today’s best and brightest feel overwhelmed, anxious and depressed once there, Borba said. Alarmed college counselors have dubbed them, “Generation Stress,” as well as “crispies” and “tea cups” — some students are burned out before college even begins while others break like china at the first failure they experience without a parent around. It’s not just college students. In a survey at WeCare’s consortium schools, middle and high school students ranked “feeling pressure from their parents” and “time management” as their top worries, according to the group’s chair, Jill Skrezyna. Why are kids struggling? Borba blames today’s pressure-filled and competitive culture in part. In addition, she said that despite their best intentions, today’s parents can make things worse by protecting their children

Parenting expert Michele Borba speaks to parents about helping kids manage stress in a talk held at The Bishop’s School. Borba, who has written 23 parenting books, said more than 85 percent of teens report feeling regularly stressed. PHOTOS BY Catherine Ivey Lee from setbacks. “Researchers are saying that what would really help our children above all else is not just to have that IQ and

smartness, but the ability to be able to bounce back when the inevitable thing called a failing experience happens,” Borba said. “If we rescue them along the way, we don’t build up what’s called psychological immunity. So when the real tough stuff happens the kid just falls apart,” she said. Borba believes a better

way for parents to help their children is to teach them skills to withstand life’s storms such as self-reliance, resilience, perseverance, even grit — a catchall characteristic being touted in this fall’s bestselling book “How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity and the Hidden Power of Character” by Paul Tough.

Borba’s advice for parents: n 1) Start at home. Research shows that students with the highest self-esteem and strongest sense of character were raised by parents who showed unconditional love and acceptance, set firm, yet achievable expectations,

La Jolla Music Society presents Season 44 From LJMS Reports La Jolla Music Society opens its latest Frieman Family Piano Series with an all-Debussy program from Jean-Yves Thibaudet, 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2 at Sherwood Auditorium in the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, 900 Prospect St., La Jolla. One of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most soughtafter soloists, Thibaudet has the rare ability to combine poetic musical sensibilities with dazzling technical prowess. According to The New York Times, â&#x20AC;&#x153;every note he fashions is a pearl â&#x20AC;Ś the joy, brilliance and musicality of his performance could not be missed.â&#x20AC;?

Highlights from the concert will include â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suite Bergamasqueâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;isle Joyeuse.â&#x20AC;? Thibaudet was born in Lyon, France, where he began his piano studies at age five and made his first public appearance at age seven. At 12, he entered the Paris Conservatory to study with Aldo Ciccolini and Lucette Descaves, a collaborator of Ravel. At age 15, he won the Premier Prix du Conservatoire and, three years later, won the Young Concert Artists Auditions in New York City. Thibaudetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical depth and charisma have underlined a career with

FROM STRESS, B8 and communicated openly and respectfully. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids say their No. 1 pressure is to not let their parents down,â&#x20AC;? Borba said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need to know, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I love you and I like you for who you are. I accept your strengths, but I can also identify your weaknesses.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? n 2) Build coping skills. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rescue children from disappointments and failures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Help them to recognize that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I can make it and I can survive it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? she said. n 3) How you praise matters. Citing research by Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, Borba said telling kids they are smart or did a good job on a test is â&#x20AC;&#x153;actually one of the worst things you can do.â&#x20AC;? Praising outcomes teaches children that their intelligence and ability to succeed is fixed. By praising effort instead, children see the value of hard work, which will help them for life. n 4) Say no. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children are used to getting what they want. But delaying gratification builds determination and perseverance skills. If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really need something, stretch out how long children can wait for something or make them put it as a goal, Borba said. n 5) Help kids manage stress. Techniques such as deep breathing or yoga helps children get through stressful times, while being organized helps them avoid them.

In 2007, Jean-Yves Thibaudet was awarded the Victoire dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Honneur, a lifetime career achievement award and the highest honor given by Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Victoires de la Musique.

Local dentist takes a stand against sweets this Halloween Dr. Charles Briscoe of La Jolla Dental Care is leading an anti decay movement by giving away dollars and electric glowing toothbrushes in exchange for cavityprovoking candy. Trick-or-treaters can bring

their excess candy to La Jolla Dental Care and receive one dollar per pound. “Kids can still have all of the fun of trickor-treating, and now their piggy banks will benefit as well. Plus, these glowing brushes we’re giving out are really cool — they’re like light sabers for your mouth,” Briscoe said. Candy will be collected at 7737 Herschel Avenue in La Jolla on Nov. 1 only, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Children must be accompanied by a parent and candy must be unopened with no teeth marks on the package. The returned candy will be shipped to troops overseas as part of Operation Gratitude. For more information, call (858) 454-3221 or visit LaJollaDental.com

Kitschy cocktails salute Halloween and a decade of Kitchen Shrinking ‘To Die For’ Pumpkin Dip

Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman

his week marks my 10th anniversary as your Kitchen Shrink. How fitting to celebrate with Halloween’s good and plenty offerings of sassy spirits. Even though All Hallows’ Eve (an ancient Catholic custom) has swelled into a $3 billion-a-year trick-ortreating candy extravaganza, big kids can have a blast, too. Jet-black beluga and belinis washed down with Jack-o’-Lantern martinis will get things movin’ and shakin’. Valet park your broomstick at these local hot spots for a scary soiree or throw your own bloodcurdling bash at home with these spine-tingling spirits. For Tricks • Searsucker in the Gaslamp District will be serving up some bonechilling beverages like The Femur Shot. Steer bones are cleaned, boiled and filled with an invigorating blend of coconut, lime and vodka, then sucked, marrow-style. • The Smashing Pumpkin that gained its fame on The Food Network’s “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” is a popular refresher at trendy watering holes like downtown’s Grant Grill. This glorious gourd libation mixes up pumpkin and star anise infused 10 Cane Rum, Grand Marnier, St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram, aromatic saffron syrup, cardamom bitters and a squirt of sweet and tangy Meyer lemon. • For a slurp of liquid pumpkin pie with a buzz check out Pacific Beach’s Thrusters. The Pumpkin Pie Cocktail is a scrumptious blend of pumpkin spice beer, vanilla bean infused vodka, Frangelico hazelnut liquor, fresh whipped cream with a garnish of cinnamon shavings, nutmeg, cloves and vanilla bean. • Get jacked up at Beaumont’s Eatery in Bird Rock with the Jack-OLantern Cocktail blending (what else?) Jack Daniels,

■ Ingredients: 1 pumpkin, 5-7 pounds 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 French baguette, cut in 1/2 inch slices 4 ounces Swiss cheese, coarsely grated 2 ounces Mozzarella, coarsely grated 2 ounces Gruyère, coarsely grated 1 pint half-and-half cream Sea salt, black or cayenne pepper to taste 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

■ Method: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut a 2-inch slice off the top of the pumpkin and set aside.

Left: The Jack-O-Lantern cocktail from Beaumont’s Eatery.

Clean inside of the pumpkin removing seeds and stringy fibers. Place pumpkin in a large roasting pan. Blend olive oil and garlic, and rub the inside of the pumpkin with the mixture. Fill the pumpkin with alternate layers of the bread and cheese.

Above: Spooked out in the kitchen and suffering from Mageirocophobia (fear of cooking)? Check out Chef Paul McCabe’s five-course ‘creepy’ dinner at Rancho Santa Fe’s Delicias. For starters you can crunch on his Chili-Lime Cricket Salad, featuring compressed melon, heirloom tomato, cucumber, and the grasshopper’s cousin tossed in a honey-lime vinaigrette.

In a small mixing bowl combine cream and spices. Pour on top of the layers. Place lid on the pumpkin and bake for about 2 hours, stirring once or twice. The skin will become glossy and golden. Let cool slightly before serving with French bread chunks, raw vegetables and chips for dipping.

pumpkin spice liquor, fresh mandarin and a dusting of cinnamon with a floating eyeball garnish. • For a smorgasbord of eerie spirits, downtown’s Whiskey Girl offers a howling good chocolate martini Wolfman, a monster blue Curacao-pineapple cream Frankenstein, and the bloodthirsty Dracula of ruby red grenadine, cream and rumplemintz. • Spooky whistle-wetter’s from downtown’s newest taproom, The Commons, include The Black Widow, a biting blend of killer vodka, gin and rum with Blackberry and Blue Curacao liqueurs, sweet and sour and cranberry juice, The Mummy, sure to wake the dead with sweet and dry vermouths, orange juice, gin and Grand Marnier along with The Green Goblin, a riff on the screwdriver. For Treats • Whip up some fun and funky Halloween eats to complement these spirits. Try turkey or chicken sliders with orange heirloom tomatoes and “clotted blood” dipping sauce, blending ketchup, currant jelly, French dressing and a splash of hot stuff. • Arrange a gruesome antipasto platter with mozzarella “eyeballs” decorated with pimento-stuffed green olives sliced in half and skewered in the cheese balls with toothpicks to resemble orbs, roasted sweet orange peppers, cured black olives

and salami “fingers.” • Dress up pizza pies with “skull and crossbones” of black and orange caviar or red peppers and black olives.

• Try an intoxicating seafood cocktail swimming in a Bloody Mary sauce. • Finally, for your just desserts bake a pan of fudgy,

La Jolla Symphony/Chorus to open season with eclectic program, ‘Hero/Anti-Hero’ FROM LJS&C REPORTS The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus’s 2012-13 season debuts Nov. 3-4 with Steven Schick conducting the orchestra in Missy Mazzoli’s “Violent, Violent Sea,” two works by John Cage, “101” and “4’33”, and Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 3” in a concert titled “Hero/Anti-Hero.” The concert is the first in a season inspired by Wallace Stegner’s American novel, “Angle of Repose.” “Our new season explores the themes at the heart of this quintessential story of the West,” said music director Schick. “In musical terms, we ask ourselves: Can we re-imagine the passions that formed the music of our past in such a way that they connect to the passions that drive our present? “We begin with an in-depth look at the heroic impulses of the 19th century and their manifestations, or lack thereof, in the music of today.” ‘Violent, Violent Sea’ American composer and pianist Missy Mazzoli’s music has been performed all over the world. She is composer-in-residence with the Opera Company of Philadelphia and has been called one of her generation’s most “consistently inventive and

Missy Mazzoli surprising composers” (New York Times). Her “Violent, Violent Sea,” written in 2011, is a 10-minute piece of subtle harmonies and wavelike instrumental textures in the tradition of Debussy’s “La Mer,”and other sweeping works inspired by the sea. She will join LJS&C for this concert. ‘101’ and ‘4’33’ American experimental composer John Cage (19121992) challenged every assumption that underlies Western music. His work “101” was commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and premiered in 1988. The numerical title denotes the number of musicians required, and Cage intended that the piece be performed without a conductor (though the conductor might participate in rehearsals). “101” is a study in sonority:

the musicians are divided into three groups, each with its own characteristic sound and responsibilities. No two performances of this music should ever be exactly the same, which is what Cage intended. Cage composed ‘4’33’ in 1952. It is one of the most profoundly revolutionary pieces ever written — and certainly the quietest. In the years after World War II, Cage studied Zen Buddhism, read the I Ching, and became interested in art created outside the process of rigid artistic control. The idea of “4’33” was stark in its simplicity: the performer was to come out, seat himself at his instrument, and then do nothing for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. Cage argued that “silence” doesn’t exist and that in every performance the “silence” is full of ambient sound that is an integral part of the experience. “In our performance, we will open the doors of Mandeville Auditorium to let the outside sounds in and then, without a pause, play the Beethoven,” Schick said. “My hope is that hearing the opening chords of the ‘Eroica’ out of the silence of ‘4’33’ will help us experience Beethoven fresh.

■ Box Office: (858) 534-4637 ■ Website: lajollasymphony.com That briefly we’ll be able to hear that famous opening as it must have seemed to its first listeners: dramatic, unexpected, and jarringly loud, even revolutionary.” ‘Eroica’ Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, aka “Eroica” (Italian for “heroic”), premiered in 1804, not long after the end of the French Revolution. There had never been a symphony like this, and Beethoven’s new direction is evident from the first instant as the music explodes to life. The second movement brings another surprise — it is a funeral march.

La JoLLa Landmark Businesses 35 years

Since 1977 La Jolla Nurses Homecare La Jolla Nurses Homecare is proud to be celebrating their 35th year in La Jolla. It opened in 1977, on upper Girard Avenue by Mrs. Lorraine Salerno. It later moved to the Vons Center and now finally has been located in La Jolla Shores for many years. Mrs. Salerno saw a need for private duty homecare in our city and sought to fulfill that need. She was right! 35 years later, LJNH is still going strong in La Jolla, owned and operated by her daughter, Brittnei Salerno. “I believe our tenure in the community speaks well for us. We have had the opportunity to be of service to countless interesting individuals, including local and worldwide celebrities. It is the people we care for that makes this a fascinating industry,” says Salerno. “Our Mission is to provide high quality, very secure and the most compassionate home health care. We believe that patients heal faster and are happiest when they can stay in their homes.”

Homecare has changed quite a bit over the years, but their level of service and commitment has not. One of the ways La Jolla Nurses Homecare services are “a cut

above” many other homecare agencies is that they include, at no additional cost, an RN who supervises every case. The staff has many decades of experience, which adds to the expertise in which they select their caregivers, staff their cases, schedule shifts and give personal customer service to their clients. LJNH goes above and beyond to make sure their clients and families are satisfied and happy with the services. They are honored to service in and around the community of La Jolla that they love and have grown up in.

Margaret (Eva Kaminsky) engages Kate (Nedra McClyde) and Mike (R. Ward Duffy) in a war of words in ‘Good People’ at The Old Globe Theatre. Henry DiRocco

‘Good People’ brings humor to touchy, moving situations

Let’s Review

By diana Saenger

rom crafting bunnies and playing bingo to causing havoc in the life of an old flame, Margaret (Eva Kaminsky) has a lot going on in The Old Globe’s San Diego premiere of “Good People.” Pulitzer Prize-winner David Lindsay-Abaire has written a sharp script about her, with great one-line zingers delivered with plenty of laughs from amusing characters. When Stevie (James McMenamin) has to take employee Margaret out to the trash area behind the Dollar Store, Margaret knows she’s in for a lecture. Sure she’s been late to work almost every day, but she whines to her friend that she can’t just leave her physically challenged daughter unattended. She expects yet another nag session and isn’t ready when

Stevie says the boss wants her GONE. Life as a “Southie” in Boston has not been easy for Margaret. She’s barely paid her rent and put food on the table. And instead of getting help from those closest to her; she gets warnings and useless advice. Sitting around a kitchen table her landlord Dottie (Robin Pearson Rose), wants to know how Margaret will pay the rent. Pearson Rose is perfect in the role, throwing out a funny quip for every conversation, while never missing a beat in sewing a stitch. Friend Jean (Carol Halstead) plays the middle road, often using curse words to tell Dottie how lame she is or accusing Margaret of being too nice. The three relieve their tensions by playing bingo at the local church – always hoping to win the small pot to make the next week a little easier. When Margaret hits one closed door after another while job hunting, her friends convince her to visit her old boyfriend and ask for a job. Mike (R. Ward Duffy) is now a doctor, married and in another town nearby. Margaret gives in and calls on Mike,

Mike, caught off guard and not sure how to handle the sarcastic and sometimes condescending Margaret, somehow ends up inviting her to the birthday party his wife has planned. Margaret shows up — even though Mike called her to tell her the party was canceled. The night goes entirely wrong. Duffy and Nedra McClyde, who plays his wife Kate, give an authentic performance in a three-ring circus of uncertainly, distrust and blame. Kaminsky excels as Margaret, a mother caught in a spiderweb for survival, and she is excellent in opening the door for all the humor that reigns.

Las Patronas welcomes new class, reveals next Jewel Ball theme By Ashley Mackin as Patronas, a philanthropic organization that raises money for local nonprofits, welcomed a new “class” of volunteers at a luncheon Oct. 17 at the La Jolla Country Club. The 10 new members join the ranks of women who have been raising money for San Diego since 1946. They are: Christine Baumberger, Marie Browning, Michelle Conway, June Fabiani, Jorie Fischer, Gay Grossman, Randi Hegler, Kelly Kent, Clarissa Myer Keyes and Erin Preuss. Since there are 10 of them, the group has named themselves “The Ten-der Hearts,” and will serve for a mandatory six years and an optional seventh. The group’s grand fundraiser, the Jewel Ball, held each August, brings in thousands of dollars to be distributed to non-profits. Last year’s Ball, themed Passeggiata!, raised just under $765,000. “(Over the years) Las Patronas members are proud to have given more than $16 million to more than 1,000 San Diego County organizations that provide critically needed community services,“ said Las Patronas President Pat Marsch. “These additional proceeds from Passeggiata! will make a substantial difference in the quality of life of many individuals throughout San Diego County.” At the luncheon, the 2013 Jewel Ball theme, Lucky 13, was announced. The catchphrase is “Changing Views, Changing Lives.” One of the 135 women in attendance was Jo Bobbie MacConnell, one of the two surviving founding members. MacConnell said when she helped found Las Patronas, the goal was “to have good parties and find good beneficiaries.” Of the organization now, she said it’s grown bigger, but still feels “friendly.” She added, “And they still give good parties.” Also in attendance was the first, third-generation member. Jorie Fischer joins her mother, Sarah Burton-Hawkins. Fischer’s grandmother helped found the organization with MacConnell, as the two were best friends. Burton-Hawkins refers to MacConnell as her “fairy godmother.” This year, 99 organizations applied to Las Patronas for grants. Recipients will be notified of their awards on Nov. 6.

Point Loma’s magic delights fourth-graders

ird RockBird Rock Elementary teacher Gabrielle Darris and her fourth-grade class made a fieldtrip to Cabrillo National Monument on Oct. 15. It was a beautiful fall day, but as the fog rolled into Point Loma, the students watched a battleship enter the harbor. Another treat was the sighting of migrating Monarch butterflies heading south for the winter. — Lorri Sabban

Jim Matthie receives alumnus award from alma mater By Ashley Mackin At an awards banquet in Colorado on Oct. 12, La Jolla scientist and athlete Jim Matthie received the Adams State University Outstanding Alumnus Award for his development of Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) technology. In the early 1990s, Matthie developed Xitron Technologies, Inc., and through it, co-created BIS, which has been implemented as a tool to assist with renal (kidney) dialysis and weight loss. BIS technology uses small electronic frequencies to determine how much water is outside the cells of the body and how much is inside the cells. To measure such, small electrodes are placed on the hand and foot, and waves of varying frequencies are sent through the body. The higher end ones go straight through the cells and the time it takes is measured. The lower frequency waves go around cells. Subtract the total time from the time it takes to go around cells and you’ll know how much water is in the body. For those with kidney issues,

having the right balance of fluids is important, because too much water in the body can cause “fluid overload,” Matthie said, “When you’re over-hydrated, it causes severe hypertension and that severe hypertension is a known risk factor for congestive heart failure. Your left ventricle gets larger and eventually it fails — 50 percent of dialysis patients die from heart failure.” Matthie said his device is the No. 1 predictor of mortality because 500,000 to 600,000 people on dialysis are over-hydrated. He estimates between 200,000 to 300,000 patients are saved each year after using his machine. His work was later marketed by Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s largest renal therapy company, as the Body Composition Monitor, and used in their facilities. Matthie’s work has also earned the acclaim and partnership of Dr. Rob Huizenga, the advisor for weight-loss shows such as “The Biggest Loser” and “Extreme Makeover.” Matthie’s BIS technology

these obese individuals that lose huge amounts of weight,” Huizenga said. In weight loss, Huizenga said, BIS technology detects changes in fluids and can give a more accurate read as to how much muscle is gained or lost. He pointed

out that in exercise-based programs, there hasn’t been technology to measure whether it’s fat, water or muscle that is lost. In the context of “The Biggest Loser,” Huizenga said, “That is a huge thing to know for people who are

losing weight because we don’t want them to lose muscle.” While he said is excited about the award from Adams University, Matthie also has his eyes on another prize. “If you’re going to have the big party in Stockholm, I [have] to at least be invited,” he joked about the Nobel Prize. In addition to his work in science, Matthie is equally proud of his accomplishments in sports. “Obviously the impact of the medical technology I co-developed for extending and improving life is the primary interest, but that resulted from who I am,” Matthie said in an e-mail to La Jolla Light. “And who I am is an athlete, scientist and businessman, the three cannot be disconnected.” Matthie practiced and competed in varying forms of martial arts, including Sombo and Greco-roman wrestling. In 1987, he won the National Sombo Championship and competed in the Sombo World Championships. He lives in La Jolla with his 13-year-old twins, William and Sophia.

Volunteers at the 2011 bags-assembly day to support USO’s Waves of Appreciation. COURTESY

USO seeks financial donations, volunteers for holiday food bags United Service Organization (USO) San Diego and the local Pepperdine Alumni Association are seeking financial contributions and volunteers for the annual Waves of Appreciation holiday food bag drive to benefit members of the armed forces flying home on holiday leave. During the holidays, young service members spend long hours waiting at airports, where high food prices and the absence of meals on flights create financial challenges and hunger. Waves of Appreciation bags contain free snacks that are available on planes and in airports to stave off hunger pangs. Volunteers estimate the value of the bags, at airport food prices, to be about $70. Volunteers are needed to stuff more than 3,000 bags. Monetary donations should be sent by Oct. 31. Any monetary donation received after Nov. 5 will be applied to the 2013 effort. Checks or money orders can be sent to: USO San Diego (attention Ginger), 303 A Street, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92101. Checks should be made payable to “USO San Diego” and food bags should be placed on the memo line. For more information, e-mail La Jolla USO volunteer and Pepperdine alumnus Claudette Berwin at claudette@gallery-properties.com or Reed Reichert at reedreichert@yahoo.com

Auction.com Room at Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, 1380 Harbor Island Drive, San Diego, CA 92101, MTC FINANCIAL INC. dba TRUSTEE CORPS, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on February 11, 2003 as Instrument No. 2003-0154236 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of San Diego County, California, executed by CLAYTON E. ELLIOT, A SINGLE MAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of INDYMAC BANK, F.S.B., A FEDERALLY CHARTERED SAVINGS BANK as Lender and INDYMAC BANK, F.S.B., A FEDERALLY CHARTERED SAVINGS BANK as nominee for Lender, its successors and/or assigns, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3268 VIA MARIN 41, LA JOLLA, CA 92037 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $139,016.43 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05000670-121. 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 or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

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

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

LA JOLLA LIGHT - october 25, 2012 - Page B31

REBA remodels its La Jolla offices FROM REBA REPORTS In July, the La Jolla Real Estate Association (REBA) embarked on an ambitious plan to bring its long-time home back to life. The building at 908 Kline St. was commissioned from local architect Henry Hester by the organization in 1965 and it replaced a building the group had purchased even decades before that. “No one seemed to remember it was a Hester design,” said member realtor Charles Stephens, who oversaw the project for the group. “All we knew was that we had a very cool mid-century building. It wasn’t until we uncovered the original plans during our preparations that we rediscovered who the architect was.” Hester, who designed many homes and a handful of commercial spaces around La Jolla, was known for his flat planes that carried through glass walls to blend the interiors with the outdoors. Gone are the overgrown plantings, including an old Natal plum that obscured a magnificent olive tree, which is now the centerpiece of the exterior. It is surrounded by a stone “patio” allowing space for agents to gather after their Wednesday morning meetings. The tiny courtyard that is connected to the meeting space by a wall of glass was cleared of an overgrown ficus tree and replaced with small palms, gardenias and a vibrant blue urn water feature. For the interiors, Stephens, along with fellow Realtor Jeri Hein and affiliate member Carol Kaplan, a designer and home stager, developed a plan to enliven the space while still La Jolla Light Ad.pdf honoringChuck the Helsel integrity of the original design.

REBA’s remodeled meeting space. “We have four, big blackand-white prints that are original to the space along with a number of black-andwhite historical photos of the area and we really wanted to re-use them. We chose tones of gray as our jumping off point, not only because of the prints, but we knew we could introduce it to the exterior and pull those same tones from the marble slab that features prominently on the façade of the building,” Stephens said. “We were all in agreement on one thing: anything but beige! Contrasting that choice is the extensive use of navy-blue on walls, floors

and upholstery to dynamic effect. It is nautical without being literal and the navyand-chrome chairs have a retro flair. Three large flatscreen monitors have been bracketed by the black-andwhite art and the walnut walls of the office and conference room now gleam. “This is perhaps the largest dedicated meeting space in La Jolla. Our goal was to enhance what was here while providing a beautiful backdrop for the members or whoever uses the space.” Anyone interested in renting the space may contact Kathy Steever at (858) 454-6126.
