By Ashley Mackin During its Oct. 23 meeting, the La Jolla Traffic and Transportation (T&T) advisory board heard a proposal initiated by Warwick’s Bookstore owner Nancy Warwick to change parking limitations on the 7700-7900 blocks of Girard Avenue (between Wall and Kline streets) from 60 to 90 minutes. With the goal of giving shoppers more time to patronize Village businesses, but still have a flow of traffic from people exiting parking spaces, T&T unanimously approved the proposal. Their recommendation now goes to the La Jolla Community Planning Association for ratification before being forwarded to the city. Warwick, whose store is at 7812 Girard Ave., petitioned neighboring businesses to sign onto the plan. Darcy Ashley presented the idea and the petition results at the meeting, as Warwick could not attend. “Nancy and other merchants are trying to foster this ‘shop local’ mentality ... within the 60-minute parking time limit, it is really difficult to eat at a restaurant, much less to eat at a restaurant and then go to other shops,” she said.

Church to redirect light beam troubling nearby residents By Pat Sherman La Jolla residents Wayne and Mary Shuart say it took months of complaining to have officials with St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church agree to adjust an outdoor light on its campus that has been shining through the windows of the Shuart’s fourth-story condo 7:30-10:32 p.m., for the past several months. Mary Shuart said she had friends view the blinding beam, who agreed they were not overreacting, though representatives from St. James declined a similar invitation to visit. In e-mails provided to La Jolla Light, the Shuarts recounted their first conversation about the issue with St. James’ Assistant to the Rector, Walter DuMelle, on Sept. 2, 2014. See Light beam, A15

Pine tree removed after falling onto Rec Center By Pat Sherman A mature Stone Pine at La Jolla Rec Center — estimated to be 100 years old — had to be removed last week after it tipped over onto La Jolla Rec Center in the middle of the night (between Oct. 22-23), bending a flagpole near the entrance. La Jolla Recreation Council board Chair Doug Fitzgerald said a city arborist told him there was no way to save the tree. “They got out there pretty quickly,” Fitzgerald said of city workers, adding that although no one was hurt, the city Rec Center flag pole viewed removing the tree bent by the fallen as “a safety issue.” tree. Courtesy “It’s kind of a sad thing … because you don’t want to lose trees,” Fitzgerald said. “You get attached to them.” The roof and building of the Irving Gilldesigned Rec Center, which marks its

centennial next spring, were quickly assessed for damage from the topple. City of San Diego Park and Recreation Area Manager Mark Moncey said the tree made two small indentations in the northwest portion of the Rec Center roof, including a two-inch by two-inch hole. A rooftop electrical conduit was also damaged. The tree could not be saved, Moncey said, due to its age and weight, and the severity of damage to its trunk, which split above its base. The tree was last trimmed in 2013, he said. Although the city does not have records dating the pine, Moncey said he suspects it was planted when the recreation center was completed, almost 100 years ago. Park and Rec crews will repair any damage to the Rec Center, and replace the tree prior to the building’s centennial, with input from the Recreation Council and community, Moncey said. Earlier this year, a large limb fell off the tree opposite the side to which it tipped last week. The limb landed between two cars parked on Prospect Street, though no damage was reported from that incident. u

The Power family — Ronnie, Kian, Malik and Eva — were vital in saving the life of a 13-year-old at WindanSea over the Fourth of July weekend. Ashley Mackin

By Ashley Mackin After their participation in a rescue at WindanSea Beach over the Fourth of July weekend that saved a boy’s life, the San Diego Fire & Rescue Department is recognizing the Power family of Clairemont, along with other citizens and lifeguards, with its Rescue of the Year award. The celebration, held to honor lives saved district-wide, is Oct. 30 at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina. Ronnie Power, his wife, Eva, and their two sons, Malik and Kian (students at La Jolla Country Day School, where Eva teaches), were at WindanSea Beach on the busy holiday, when a group of boys got stuck under a large kelp bed. One of them was 13-year-old Cole, who was unconscious, not breathing and without a pulse when he was extracted. Other citizens involved in the rescue to be recognized are Ken Zoglio, who unburied Cole’s head and chest; Michael Palacios, who performed rescue breathing; and Robb Luscomb and Nikolas Madren, who helped “unbury” Cole. Watching the whole situation unfold from where he was sitting on the rocks, Ronnie Power said he saw three boys playing near a kelp bed, which

www.lajollalight.com

LA JOLLA LIGHT - October 30, 2014 - Page A5

according to lifeguard reports compiled by Marine Safety Lt. Rich Stropky, “didn’t appear to pose any threats.” Power said the boys “would lay on the sand at the easterly base of the kelp pile with the hope that the impacting waves would send a barrel of water over the top of them.” That was until “the force of the water caused an unexpected shift in the kelp pile. The wave pushed the mass toward the beach, which allowed the topheavy pile to roll over the top of the kids and bury them,” reports state. “We watched this wave come up and hit so hard that it pushed all the sand and kelp up over these boys,” Power said. “We knew they were buried and one of them completely disappeared.” Power, a teacher at Thurgood Marshall Middle School in Scripps Ranch, said the habit of constantly keeping an eye on children helped him recognize the severity of the situation and take quick action. “It wasn’t so much knowing what to do (in this situation), it was being observant and having eyes everywhere because we are dealing with kids all the time,” he said. “We also realized these could have been our boys and really, these are all of our kids.” Running over to where an approximately four-foot kelp bed had amassed, the Powers immediately saw the lower torso and legs of one of the boys, 8-year-old Max, the rest of him

covered in sand and seaweed. Over to the right, entangled but visible, was a second boy, 13-year-old Hayden. They pulled both boys free as waves crashed around them. “When we pulled the first two boys out, Max was screaming ‘my brother is still in there!’ so I told my son to go get the lifeguard,” Power said, remembering that with the stronger tide, Cole could be pulled out to sea. But Max’s assurance that his brother was buried motivated Power to keep digging. “Max just knew Cole was in there,” Power said. After digging through the kelp, heavy with water weight and sand, time noticeably of the essence, Power said he saw a wrist and hand. He said he immediately yelled for help and other beachgoers came to assist. Upon realizing that Cole was unconscious, not breathing and without a pulse, they rushed to extract him from the pile. “To do this whole thing was pretty traumatic. My wife says I am cool under pressure, but when I saw that he was (not breathing) … tears were rolling down my face. I couldn’t believe this kid had been playing one minute and … the next be completely out,” he said. Cole’s rescuers handed him off to lifeguards, where after one cycle of CPR with chest compressions and rescue breathing, he vomited. Lifeguards

report that from there, “The patient was relocated up the beach and reassessed to find a pulse but no breathing. Rescue breathing, suctioning and vomiting continued. Soon after that, the boy twitched his leg and began breathing on his own.” Cole was transported to Rady Children’s Hospital where he was diagnosed with fluid in his lung. He is expected to make a full recovery. Having grown up in Newport Beach and living in San Diego for more than 20 years, Power said he has been a beachgoer his entire life. That, and the fact that the Powers are teachers, is why they responded the way they did, he said. “If it were my kids and something went wrong, I would hope the right people would be there and watching over them,” he said, encouraging all beachgoers to be aware of their surroundings and the activity of children nearby. “Everybody needs to understand that we all need to be watching out for each other, especially on busy days.” Lifeguards involved included Colton Koons, Lifeguard I; Adam Larkin, Lifeguard II; James P. Earnest, Lifeguard I; Eric Guerrero, Lifeguard I; Brian Knappe, Lifeguard I; Jack Millen, Lifeguard I; Kyle Scarry, Lifeguard I; Michael Smoker, Lifeguard I; Lucas Wiley, Lifeguard I. u

CRIME NEWS City to file charges against driver in Nautilus Street crash The San Diego City Attorney’s office is filing charges against the driver of a vehicle who caused a multi-vehicle collision on Nautilus Street (near Avenida la Reina) at 9:40 a.m. Aug. 21. According to Gerry Braun, director of communications for the office of the city attorney, Michael Denny Down will be charged with three misdemeanors: DUI with a reckless driving allegation, based on his estimated speed of 81 mph (if convicted, he would serve time in custody); driving under the influence of a drug (Oxycodone); and reckless driving with willful and wanton disregard. During the incident, Down’s vehicle struck two other others, knocking a minivan onto its side and sending a sedan up into a driveway. Two drivers and two children were sent to area hospitals. Down’s arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 17.

Man dies surfing off Jewel coast A Clairemont man who was surfing with a friend off the coast of La Jolla died Oct. 22, officials said. Stephen Fujii, 67, was paddling out from Calumet Park in Bird Rock about 7:15 a.m. when his friend looked over and saw him face down in the water, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department officials said.

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS n La Jolla Cove project has five ‘pillars’: The La Jolla Cove Pavilion project, which will replace the nearly 50-year-old restroom facility at La Jolla Cove, earned enough cash recently to have an architect proceed with schematic designs, thanks to local organizations contributing $5,000 each. The donors will be recognized with a plaque on the new facility as “pillars of the community.” Representing the five pillars are Dan Simonelli, president of the La Jolla Cove Swim Club; Marilyn Seals, president of La Jolla Sunrise Rotary; Jeff Laumer, community service committee program chair for La Jolla Kiwanis Club; and Russell King, president of the La Jolla Rotary Club.

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS restaurant serves as many as 700 people per day on weekends. City of San Diego Senior Planner Chris Larson said the restaurant was sent a notice about the project and the hearing, and that an advertisement was also placed in a local newspaper. Architect Paul Benton, of Benton & Alcorn Architects, apologized to Heine for not phoning him personally about the project. Because the property is zoned commercial — a deviation from which the applicant is seeking — development is allowed up to the property line, with no setback requirement (although ample setbacks have been provided along Coast Boulevard). La Jollan Eric Korevaar said he felt the project did not include as much open space as the original cottages, and as such wasn’t certain it met deed restrictions put in place on the development as part of the California Coastal Commission’s permit approval. Commissioner Theresa Quiroz suggested that Mexican fan palms (the approved street trees to be planted in front of the project along Coast Boulevard) “do not make the pedestrian environment better, do not provide shade and

drop things that are dangerous onto the sidewalk.” In the end the project design won out, and it was approved 5-1, with Commissioner Anthony Wagner in opposition (and James Whalen absent). Golba advised the applicant to be a good neighbor to Brockton Villa during the process. “Just reach out to them,” he said. “They’re going to be knee-deep in your construction when you’re digging a 30-foot hole. … They already have to suffer through the aroma from the Cove.” More about the project at bit.ly/ GreenDragonSite n Reviewers approve Alzheimer’s facility: During its Oct. 21 meeting (and a final review of the project), the Development Permit Review Committee voted unanimously that findings could be made to approve permits for the Monarch Cottages care facility on Fay Avenue (in the old Chopra Center building). The group’s recommendation will appear on the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s Nov. 6 consent agenda. Read more at bit.ly/ MonarchCottages

n Off-leash dog proposal withdrawn: After presentations from both sides of the Limited Off Leash Access (LOLA) proposal — suggesting a leash-free area for dogs before 9 a.m. on a La Jolla beach — the organization in support withdrew the proposal. LOLA founding member Nancy Linck, contacted La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJPB) chair Dan Allen to notify him the item would not need to be discussed at the LJPB Oct. 27 meeting. “Our group is evaluating the comments and suggestions made at the previous Parks & Beaches committee meeting and recently at the La Jolla Town Council,” her statement read. “When we are ready to proceed with our proposal, we will contact you to schedule it for consideration.” n Town Council reschedules Community Carnival: La Jolla Town Council decided to reschedule its inaugural Community Carnival to sometime in Spring 2015, trustees said. The carnival was planned for Saturday, Oct. 25 at the La Jolla Rec Center. Town Council Past President Cindy Greatrex said, “We are definitely doing the Carnival! The

funds have already been raised. I have the permit and CEQA filed; it will just need to go through Traffic & Transportation. It is going to be at the Rec Center (the Rec Board has approved this). “The (Town Council-sponsored) USS La Jolla event (Oct. 21 and 23) took absolute precedence though, as the ship is leaving San Diego for good and time was of the essence.” n Coastkeeper to clean Shores beach, Nov. 2: San Diego Coastkeeper, an organization aimed at protecting and restoring fishable, swimmable, drinkable waters in San Diego County, has partnered with Little Mensches to host a beach cleanup at La Jolla Shores, starting at 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2. The effort is part of Little Mensches’ goal to “make the world better one Mitzvah at a time,” and approximately 80-90 children, 8 years and younger, are expected. The group said it selected a beach cleanup to help children “understand that caring for the environment is a good deed for the community,” and selected La Jolla Shores because many of its families spend time enjoying the natural beauty of the location. The

cleanup crew will meet at Kellogg Park near the corner of Camino del Oro and Calle Frescota. (619) 7587743. SDCoastkeeper.org n DMV warns: Three feet of clearance to cyclists: The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is alerting drivers to a new law that requires them to give bicyclists traveling in the same direction three feet of clearance when passing. The Three Feet for Safety Act took effect Sept. 16. Under the previous law, a vehicle was simply required to pass to the left at a “safe distance.” According to the new law, AB 1371, if traffic or roadway conditions prevent motorists from giving cyclists three feet of space, drivers must “slow to a speed that is reasonable and prudent” and only pass when a cyclist will not be in danger. Violations are punishable by a $35 fine. Motorists who collide with cyclists and injure them while violating the Three Feet for Safety Act can be subject to a $220 fine. DMV suggests referencing the California Driver Handbook to become familiar with the rules.

Suspect in ‘back door’ La Jolla restaurant robberies pleads guilty

second member of the “Back Door Bandits,” 24-year-old Duran Montiq Caldwell, has pleaded guilty to robbery charges in a string of holdups at restaurants in La Jolla and elsewhere in San Diego. Two Rigoberto’s taco shops and the El Cotixan restaurant in La Jolla were among the restaurants targeted. Caldwell could face up to eight years in state prison, Deputy District Attorney Jalyn Wang said. He pleaded guilty to six counts of robbery, including a holdup at a Smashburger restaurant on Prospect Street in La Jolla in August of last year. Sentencing was set for Dec. 1 by San Diego Superior Court Judge Charles Rogers. Caldwell

remains in the South Bay Detention Facility without bail. The group got its name from entering and exiting through the back doors of restaurants, as they did when holding up Smashburger. The alleged ringleader, Ryan Patrick Churchill, 23, is charged with committing 29 counts of robbery, attempted robbery and conspiracy. He has pleaded not guilty and remains in the Vista Detention Facility on $500,000 bail. His trial date is set for Dec. 2. The getaway driver, Thomas Abel Nelson, 23, has pleaded guilty to robbing the Smashburger restaurant. He is free on $50,000 bond and is awaiting sentencing on Jan. 8. u — City News Service

Parting Salvo

Town Council bids farewell to Village’s namesake vessel: USS La Jolla

USS La Jolla is named for La Jolla and is the first warship named after this town. Commissioned Oct. 24, 1981, it is the 14th ship of the Los Angeles-class submarines. The submarine is 360-feet long, displaces 6,900 tons and can be armed with antisubmarine torpedoes and Tomahawk guided cruise missiles. Courtesy sponsored and christened the ship. Her husband, the late San Diego Congressmember Bob Wilson, suggested the ship be named after the Jewel by the Sea in 1976, when its keel was laid. MacVean said the Maritime Museum was honored to accept the bell and would display it proudly and prominently. In turn, LJTC President Steve Haskins presented Roach and his crew with the first

“Key to the Village of La Jolla,” a new Town Council tradition. Also addressing Roach, Darnisha Hunter, who handles veterans affairs for the mayor’s office said: “I know you guys are going to be separated because of the decommissioning, but your sacrifice, your family sacrifice, is not forgotten. We thank you for giving up so much for us.” Mayor Kevin Faulconer and the San Diego

City Council proclaimed Oct. 21, 2014 “USS La Jolla SSN-701 Day in the City of San Diego,” City Councilmember and La Jollan Sherri Lightner announced, adding that she was once invited to tour the USS La Jolla but had to bow out due to claustrophobia. “We are very, very proud to have the submarine named after us and very honored to have you here on your last tour … but there’s no way you’re going to get me on it,” she joked. Also in attendance were Julie Wells-Hoskins, granddaughter of Shirley Wilson, and the USS La Jolla’s fourth and ninth commanding officers (respectively), Capt. Jeff Fischbeck and Rear Admiral Mike McLaughlin. The event was co-sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla, Bloomers flowers, Girard Gourmet, John Donaldson, Coffee Ambassador and La Jolla Village Lodge. Natasha Alexander, Brandon Hess and Al Ramirez served on the event committee. During a tour of the USS La Jolla Oct. 23 at Naval Base Point Loma, LJTC members and guests learned: the US La Jolla can move at speeds of up to 29 knots; devices on board separate molecules of water to make air for the crew to breath and desalinate seawater for consumption; and it is preferable to sleep in the torpedo room. The USS La Jolla was the first submarine to successfully test fire a Tomahawk cruise missile while submerged at the Pacific Missile Test Center on April 29, 1983.

By Pat Sherman he La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) hosted a roaring send-off party for the crew of the seagoing vessel bearing the community’s name, the USS La Jolla fast attack submarine, Oct. 21 at La Jolla Woman’s Club. The submarine, which went into service in August 1979, stopped in San Diego last week en route from its Pearl Harbor home base to the East Coast, where it will be decommissioned after 33 years of service. The sub will be moored at Naval Support Activity Charleston in South Carolina and used for training purposes. During the Woman’s Club event, more than 100 invited guests and about 100 crew members listened as elected officials presented Commanding Officer Kevin Roach with framed proclamations and certificates of appreciation — displayed several days later in the USS La Jolla’s wardroom (where officer’s eat). Presenting the ship’s 80-pound bell to David MacVean, board chair of the Maritime Museum of San Diego, Roach’s voice choked with emotion. “I hope this bell just reiterates how proud we were to serve on La Jolla, the ship named for this great township, and how much we’re going to remember Mrs. Wilson and her contribution to this great ship,” Roach said. The late Shirley Wilson, a former La Jolla restaurateur and beauty salon owner,

The Most Popular Features to Improve the Performance of your Home

The National Association of Home Builders released the results of a survey to see what are the most common “green” building products used in residential remodeling. The most popular choice to improve energy efficiency in homes was high-performance windows including Low-E and Argon gas windows. The following items were also mentioned: High efficiency HVAC systems, Energy STAR appliances, ceiling fans, water conserving fixtures and high-performance insulation. The lower operating and maintenance costs of an energy efficient home are a compelling reason that more home owners are incorporating these green features.

From Light beam, A1 Although John Norris, chair of the church’s Building and Grounds (B&G) committee, promised to remedy the situation in early September, the light was not adjusted, and the Shuarts say communication from the church was spotty the rest of the month. “It just seems so very simple to have a man with a ladder and pole reach that one troublesome light and tip it downward a few inches,” Wayne Shuart wrote the church Oct. 6, via e-mail, threatening to file a “neighborhood nuisance” complaint with the city if the problem was not addressed. The B&G committee discussed the issue on Oct. 14, and Norris e-mailed the Shuarts two days later to let them know the B&G committee would not be taking action. “The solutions expressed in your e-mail are not that simple,” Norris wrote, adding that the lights, situated 40 feet up in a palm tree, are “too high for anyone to safely climb a ladder that tall and push the lights around,” requiring a “bucket type truck to access the lights, and to provide a stable platform for any work to be properly done.” Norris said the lights are “securely fastened to their bases with set screws.” To adjust them, he said, they “must be loosened, moved and then re-secured.” “The church has a responsibility to provide safe lighting,” Norris wrote the Shuarts. “These lights are fixed at their primary targets and any spillage of light may not be avoidable. Because of these realities, there is no guarantee that any improvement can be made to the lighting condition you are experiencing.” Norris said the church’s B&G committee made

a “unanimous decision not to make any changes to, nor incur any expense related to the palm tree lighting set up as it currently operates.” Mary Shuart countered that, for 15 months she and her husband endured “noise and dust, sometimes starting at 6:30 a.m.” from St. James’ recently completed, $900,000 exterior renovation — and never complained. Norris later responded that the church would adjust the light “when an opportunity occurs … to change/repair the palm tree lighting or a need to trim the palm trees (arises). “At that time, a diligent effort will be made to adjust the light that is causing your discomfort,” he wrote. “The adjustment may not totally correct the issue, but a valid effort will be made to do so.” Speaking with La Jolla Light last week, Norris said it would cost the church about $1,000 to rent a truck with a lift to adjust the lights. “That’s why we were trying to coordinate other needs that we may have,” Norris said. “As it turns out we have another need. They need to get up and eliminate fruit from the palm tree that’s dropping on the ground because we are resodding (the grass) on Wednesday morning, and we can’t have the fruit underneath the sod.” Norris said the lights were erected in December 2012, and not part of the renovation. “We have made no adjustments since they went up,” he said. “The wind can’t blow them around. … Why it became an issue in August, I have no idea, because none of the construction people, roofers, stucco folks, sandblasters, went anywhere near that installation.” At press time, Mary Shuart said she received a call saying the church would rent a truck and adjust the light Monday night, Oct. 27. u

From Parking, A1 “At the same time, there is the concern about maintaining a reasonable turnover of parking places, so that’s why there is resistance to two-hour parking,” Ashley said. She said business owners expressed frustration with customers getting parking tickets, and that Girard Avenue is one of the most frequently ticketed streets in San Diego. According to a June 2008 report by U-T San Diego: “Downtown La Jolla is among the most ticketed. Cars are cited constantly on the main thoroughfare of the upscale shopping district, typically for overstaying a 60-minute limit at the curb.” “The hope is the 90 minutes will put people in a situation where they are not getting so many parking tickets because they have enough time to do what they came to the Village to do,” Ashley said. She explained that 54 signatures were collected, representing the majority of businesses on the affected blocks. Of the non-signers, Ashley said, one was a gallery owner, another operated a business with rapid turnaround, and a third said Village employees park on the street, and with more available time, this issue would be harder to regulate. Ashley said businesses with parking lots, such as banks and Mary, Star of the Sea Church, were not contacted for the petition. She also noted the upcoming La Plaza La Jolla shopping complex (occupying the former Jack’s La Jolla space) set to open in early 2015, would have shops and a restaurant, and patrons might benefit from the additional time. “Nancy wants people to shop at multiple

After some joking that the city could borrow some two-hour parking signs from Girard Avenue, a motion to approve the request passed unanimously.

If La Jolla Community Planning Association and the city agree, parking limits along Girard Avenue will be extended to 90 minutes from the current 60 minutes. places instead of just one,” she said. “We recognize this is somewhat uncharted territory, but we’re hoping it will resolve some of the issues related to tickets and give people more time to spend in the Village.” T&T Chair Todd Lesser reminded the board that the parking signs could always be changed if the longer time proved disadvantageous, and the board voted unanimously to recommend the change. In other T&T news: n Bird Rock block to limit parking time: In a situation similar to Girard Avenue, a proposal came before the board to change the limitations on parking along a block of La Jolla Boulevard in Bird Rock,

between Camino de la Costa and Bird Rock Avenue. Supported by a petition, Pablo Lanatti, owner of Adrenalina Skate Shop, spoke to the board. He said the west side of the street has no limitations on parking, encouraging residents and area employees to park their all day, or in some cases, days on end. So a petition seeking to convert the block into a two-hour parking zone was circulated and signed by all but one business owner, and tenants of the block, he said. Lanatti added that for consistency sake, the guidelines for the west side of the street would match the east, limiting parking to two hours, ending at 6 p.m., except federal holidays and Sundays.

n Conversion denied: Management at Dick’s Liquor on Pearl Street at Eads Avenue requested, though were not present at the meeting, that one of the two-hour parking spaces on Eads Avenue be converted to a 15-minute parking space. There are currently two 15-minute parking spaces on the corner immediately in front of the business. Looking up a street view of the location, T&T member Patrick Ryan observed that when the photo of the area was taken, both 15-minute spaces were empty and the twohours spaces occupied. Member John Kassar added there is a parking lot behind the building. A motion to deny the additional space was approved. n Concours d’Elegance: The requested street closures for the annual Concours d’Elegance car show — April 10-12, 2015 at La Jolla Cove — were approved unanimously, with the assurance that organizers would work with the community, particularly Cove enthusiast Bill Robbins, to alleviate concerns brought up last year. Concerns included trucks loading and unloading equipment and blocking crosswalks and parking spaces. u — La Jolla Traffic and Transportation meets 4 p.m., the fourth Thursday of the month, at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

Mt. Soledad Memorial to host POW/MIA tribute Nov. 8 Guest Columnist Editor’s Note: Federal Government offices will be closed on Veteran’s Day, Tuesday, Nov. 11. The date marks the anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended the World War I hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany in 1918. Veterans Day is noted by parades and church services, and in many places, the American flag is hung at half mast. A twominute period of silence may be held at 11 a.m. to thank and remember veterans for their services to the United States.

By Kris Grant Special to La Jolla Light

good portion of the former Prisoners of War (POW) — at one time numbering 81 in San Diego County — and several family members of those Missing in Action (MIAs) will be on the dais at the Veterans Week ceremony honoring them, beginning at noon Saturday Nov. 8 at the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial. Keynote speaker will be Capt. Dan’l Steward, (USN - Ret). A former Navy SEAL, Steward is now a Special Operations Subject Matter Expert to the Office of Naval Research. As part of the ceremony, a plaque honoring POWs and MIAs will be presented. Speaking on behalf of POWS will be Capt. Mel Moore (USN Retired). Moore was a POW in Vietnam for six years, where he was housed at the infamous Hoa Lo prison, sarcastically dubbed by its inmates as the “Hanoi Hilton.” A former Navy fighter pilot, Moore figures “it was my 99th mission when I got shot down,” he said. “We were all young and we thought we were invincible… until they got us.” His plane was hit by enemy fire and Moore was forced to eject. He was captured immediately. Another POW and former fighter pilot who was housed at the prison in Hanoi was Rear Admiral Ed Martin (USN-Ret), an Honorary Trustee with the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association. “They wanted statements against our government, they wanted us to admit we were criminals and bombing innocent women and children,” Martin said. “I refused and when I did, they put me in a ‘rope trick.’ They broke my right shoulder, dislocated a knee and knocked my teeth out with a rifle butt. I was pretty sure I was going to die and I think that’s when I went into a state of delirium.” (Today, Martin walks with a limp and is unable to stand for long durations, a result of the back injuries he sustained while imprisoned.)

Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial n More than 3,600 plaques are mounted at the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial, honoring servicemen and women from all branches of the military, living and deceased. n The Memorial is open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 6905 La Jolla Scenic Drive South. n The Association office is at 6437 Caminito Blythefield, Suite B (in the Windemere shopping center off Soledad Mountain Road) in La Jolla, (858) 459-2314. n At soledadmemorial.com there is a locator for each honoree’s plaque on the 11 curved walls of black granite at the hilltop site, as well as a new video, providing an overview of the Memorial. The website also includes information on obtaining and designing a plaque, with association volunteers available to help at no charge. n Five new memorial walls were added in 2013, which will include 2,300 additional plaques and should meet the demand for space availability over the next 10 years. Martin’s salvation, like Moore’s, was communication with other prisoners. “Jim Stockdale was two doors down,” Martin said. “Now there was a real hero. He set the rules of our conduct. He was a senior officer and set the credo of our captivity — ‘home with honor.’ ” Stockdale was shot down in 1964 and had been at the prison for more than two years. Soon the prisoners were communicating with a tap code; a dangerous practice, because, had a prisoner been discovered communicating, torture would again ensue. To Martin, a POW’s survival depended upon a trust in God; trust that the United States administration would get the prisoners released when they could; trust in his fellow POWs (“They tried to work one against the other,” he said), faith in your family and faith in yourself. Stockdale, Moore and Martin were three of 591 POWs released in 1973, in order of their shoot downs, during “Operation Homecoming.” But some men — and women — never came

back from this war (and others) and are officially listed as “Missing in Action.” A tribute to the families of these soldiers who wait endlessly for word to come will be made by San Diego author Barbara Birchim, whose husband, Capt. James Birchim, a Special Forces soldier, was listed as Missing in Action and later declared killed. “Our servicemen answered the call to go and fight for us so that we could live in freedom,” said Birchim. “We as a nation have the responsibility to bring every service member home.” Birchim’s book “Is Anybody Listening?” tells of her ordeal to overcome government red tape to attempt to learn the ultimate fate of her husband. Elaine Zimmer Davis, whose website, “Bringing Jerry Home,” tells the story of her efforts to find the remains of her husband, Jerry Zimmer, will also be on the dais. Her husband was an F-4 Phantom pilot whose aircraft was shot down on Aug. 20, 1969 about 20 miles south of Da Nang, Vietnam. u

simply another product (destination resort) to be branded and marketed, even as it continues to be overbuilt, overpriced and over-exploited. The real decline took place not since 2013, but over the several decades before, as businesses created to serve the realistic needs and wants of locals and visitors gave way to trendy boutiques, nail salons, yoga/pilates/ spinning/whatever studios, and other imageconscious and image-creating businesses. Perhaps the empty storefronts mean that the enchantment of a high-end theme village is not enough to pay the ever-increasing rents. Wouldn’t that be nice? Maybe it’s time to lose the branding and rediscover La Jolla’s roots, now buried beneath multiple layers of glitz. David Rearwin La Jolla

An united front will bring change to La Jolla Is it just me or was there an illuminating juxtaposition in the Oct. 23 La Jolla Light between the inflammatory Guest Commentary and the thoughtful letter by Kay Plantes? Kay was eloquent in her observations and the need for La Jolla to rebuild its “brand.” I encourage you to read it. The Commentary, in stark contrast, relies on “us-against-them” rhetoric that has for far too long stymied La Jolla’s progress and, more importantly, has scared good people from joining community conversations. While I may not agree with

Let’s get La Jolla back to its roots In the letter “La Jolla must reinvent its brand” (Oct. 23 La Jolla Light) Kay Plantes worries that La Jolla will have to face the worst if its brand is not reinvented. Many long-time residents would say that the worst has already been realized: La Jolla, once a beautiful place sought out by people who loved the sea and the weather and the small-town charm, is now

OPINION

A parade by any name would smell as sweet In the first century CE, Palestine was a Jewish land with Roman overlords. Jerusalem, Capernaum and Galilee were some of the city/towns. While the Jewish religion was homogeneous, there were different sects. These were the Pharisees, Sadducees and Essenes. A man was born to the region and many people decided to listen and follow him and (wait for it), another sect was created. They called themselves Christians but were no less Jewish then the Pharisees, Sadducees and Essenes. They also shared the same common practices’ (i.e. communal meals, family, charity, kindness, etc.) Therefore, a Christmas parade is celebrating the birth of (wait for it again) a Jewish man! So how do you feel excluded Mr. Howard Singer? Maybe it is non-Jewish folks who are being excluded? Or maybe, you are under the impression that the parade celebrates the birth of a Roman dude and in that case we could call the parade Roman Holiday.

However, I haven’t seen a vestige of any religion in any Christmas parade in many moons unless of course you worship the sect of the Big Red Suit. But then again, this is a parade. No gates, no bars, no tickets. A parade for all, or not, and still the La Jolla Christmas Parade. Beverly Bratek La Jolla

Really? A West Muirlands ‘slow-down’ island? I just couldn’t stop myself from writing about the island recently built on West Muirlands. I read it was intended to slow down speeders. Are you kidding me? Being diverted from a straightaway by maybe ONE INCH? To date, I haven’t seen a single car change speeds (in either direction). I wonder how much that costs and how many serious potholes could have been filled instead. Ah yes, our tax dollars at work. Peter Goldberger La Jolla

OBITUARIES

Laura Oswald 1963 – 2014

Laura Michelle Oswald died peacefully at her home on October 25, 2014, after a long battle with liver cancer. She was surrounded by her family, dear friends, and her Boston Terrier, Coco. With a bright smile and an energetic spirit, Laura made friends wherever she went throughout her life, and those friends stuck like glue because Laura made each one feel treasured. She had a knack for staying in touch with people and keeping friends connected. Laura’s calendar was always full of gatherings, with high school classmates (some of whom knew her since kindergarten), neighbors, college sorority sisters or colleagues from work. A native San Diegan, Laura was born on June 21, 1963. She attended Bird Rock Elementary School, Muirlands Middle School and La Jolla High

School, graduating in 1981. She went on to San Diego State University, where she pledged Sigma Kappa and earned her B.A. in Communications. After graduation, Laura worked in advertising in LA and San Diego, with many breaks for travel with friends far and wide. Laura loved the adventure of traveling, whether nearby to the Bay Area, Palm Springs or Mammoth, or farther afield to Hawaii, Mexico, Jamaica or Turkey. Her most recent accomplishment, and the one closest to her heart, was the renovation of her home, formerly her parents’ house, a place filled with memories from growing up surrounded by a loving family who welcomed a neighborhood full of kids into their home. Laura continued her parents’ way of welcoming friends into her home, and likewise became part of her friends’ families over the years, including serving as godmother and “auntie” to many. Friends say Laura was the glue that held all her loved ones together. Laura is survived by her brother, Scott Oswald; her niece, Kylie; and sister-inlaw, Ivy, all of San Jose; her dogs, Coco and Precious; cousins, Carmen and Sam Haynes of Beorne, Texas; and literally hundreds of friends near and far. Laura’s beloved parents, Dana Baugh Oswald and Robert J. Oswald, preceded

her in passing. A Memorial Service is scheduled for Saturday, November 1, 2014, at 4:00 p.m. at the La Jolla United Methodist Church, 6063 La Jolla Boulevard, La Jolla. All are welcome to attend to celebrate Laura’s life. It was Laura’s wish that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to her favorite charity, The Comfort Cub (www. thecomfortcub.com), or to the charity of your choice.

Gordon Frevel 1942 – 2014

Gordon Frevel, 72, died Sunday, October 19, 2014, in San Diego, California. He was born May 28, 1942, in Bay City and grew up in Midland, where he graduated from Midland High in 1960 and University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1964. He then moved to San Diego where he

earned a law degree, passed the California Bar Exam and, during his forty years of pro bono practice, helped many people caught in difficult legal circumstances. While he lived in California for fifty years, he nevertheless visited Midland yearly and maintained close friendships there. Gordon also had a home in Ensenada, Mexico. He spoke fluent Spanish, read and traveled widely, and was a witty raconteur and writer. His friends and family will miss the clippings and articles that he knew would interest them, always attaching his own wry comments. Gordon was also a car buff, collector, and an accomplished driver. He won many trophies while competing in Class V off-road races in Baja California. He is survived by his devoted wife of thirty-four years, Susan Minnicks; brother, Kurt Frevel of Midland; sister, Mary (Karl) Kadish of Houston, TX; nieces, Lesley Kadish of St. Paul, MN, and Laura McConville of Burlington, VT; and his beloved boxer dog, Siggy. He was predeceased by his parents, Ludo and Ruth Frevel of Midland. Per Gordon’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life will be held in San Diego at a later date. In lieu of flowers,

donations can be made to the Gordon Frevel STEM Fund at the San Diego Global Vision Academy, 3430 School Street, San Diego, CA 92116. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ lajollalight.

Peters vs DeMaio for 52nd Seat

Congressional candidates speak at Country Day School forum n Voters will decide race Election Day: Tuesday, Nov. 4 From La Jolla Country Day School Reports

oining fellow government students from The Preuss School, students in La Jolla Country Day’s AP Government classes spent two hours grilling the two candidates in the hotly contested 52nd Congressional District race, Oct. 20. Republican Carl DeMaio and (incumbent) Democrat Scott Peters, fielded questions — and in some cases pointed follow-up questions — from students who had been preparing for weeks to inject more substance into what has become a very negative race. Internet policy, drug laws, foreign policy, immigration reform, civil liberties, and campaign finance and ethics were just a few of the areas examined in the student questions. As the candidates left their turn on the hot seat, each congratulated the students. “I couldn’t believe the quality of the questions,’’ DeMaio said.

What the students couldn’t know was that even while the event was underway, news involving some of the very questions they were asking was breaking as San Diego’s District Attorney announced the results of an investigation into a break-in and theft that occurred at DeMaio’s headquarters in June. The subject came up during the students’ questions and reporters quickly followed up on the student questions as the twohour forum ended. Students saw how that played out in the TV and newspaper

coverage that followed. (District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis announced Oct. 20 that there was not enough evidence for her to file criminal charges in the May burglary of DeMaio’s campaign office.) This Preuss/Country Day Congressional Forum was also conducted in partnership with the City Club of San Diego. “The greatest part of this is that it was a completely student-run event,’’ said Country Day Upper School History Teacher Jonathan Shulman, who served as the students’ adviser. u

ongratulations to Royal Dance Academy (RDA) students Bobbie Garton and Raquel Glasser who have been accepted into the Orange County School of the Performing Arts (OCSA). They have both been dancing at RDA since they were babies. Children from all over the country audition for this very prestigious Performing Arts School and many relocate to Orange County if they are accepted. OCSA will continue to challenge the students both academically and professionally in the art of their choosing. Garton recently auditioned for the noted choreographer Tessandra Chavez and was accepted into the Unity 2 Dance Ensemble. “I want to send a huge congrats to Bobbie and Raquel for not only being exceptional dancers, but also beautiful young ladies,” said Francine, RDA owner and Bobbie’s mother. Recently, Raquel received seven gold medals at the Maccabi Games in New Jersey. “There is no stopping these girls,” Francine said. “Thank you for being wonderful students for more than 12 years and inspirational role models for our young dancers.” Royal Dance Academy is at 3880 Valley Centre Drive in Piazza Carmel Shopping Center, San Diego, 92130.

All Home Medical Supply helps seniors age safely By Marti Gacioch All Home Medical Supply, Central San Diego’s new medical supply store, provides everything necessary for seniors seeking to age safely and comfortably in their own homes. Manager Malcolm Brooks said the goal is to help senior citizens supply and organize their homes so that they can continue living as independently as possible with the products they need as they grow older. Brooks, who used to run the medical supply department at La Jolla’s Burns Drugstore, is well versed in medical products, and able to share information about everything from canes to compression stockings to walkers and wheelchairs. “La Jollans can come to All Home Medical Supply and see the same friendly faces they found at Burns and get the same high-quality products they’ve always received,” Brooks said. “We don’t fill prescriptions, but they’ll find the same equipment here that Burns offered.” All Home Medical Supply’s spacious 4,500 square-foot showroom features everything needed for daily mobility, including power wheelchairs and scooters, walkers, canes and crutches. The store sells foam-seating cushions from Allman Products, which can be customized to meet client requests. All Home Medical Supply also features a selection of bathroom items, such as commodes, shower chairs and safety grab bars. Lightweight aluminum ramps are available

to help access in and out of the home. Physicians frequently refer their patients to All Home Medical Supply because they want to be sure that a product fits a patient and is adjusted correctly for individual needs.”We make sure that patients learn how to use a product, so in the case of a walker, we’ll train the user on how to walk with it properly, so they’re standing upright rather than bending over,” Brooks said. Brooks strives to stock medical equipment made in the United States, so he features Golden Technology recliner/lift chairs, as well as Golden Technology scooters and power chairs. Prevail incontinence pads and underwear is also available, along with Jobst compression leg and upper body wear for those living with edema and lymphodema. “We’re the age-in-place superstore,” Brooks said. “We’re partnering with a construction company and an ADA (Americans with Disability Act) specialist, so in the near future we’ll be able to help seniors remodel their homes and provide everything necessary for them to age in place.” u n All Home Medical Supply, 4150 Convoy, is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. MondayFriday; 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

Local rowers sprint to top 10 finishes at international race From SDRC Reports Varsity Women Rowers with the San Diego Rowing Club (SDRC) proved they are among the world’s best, earning fifth and eighth place finishes against an elite field of rowers at the 50th annual Head of the Charles Regatta (HOCR) in Boston last week. As the world’s largest and most prestigious two-day regatta, the HOCR attracts the best rowers from North America, Europe and other regions. The rowers compete on a Charles River course that runs three miles against strong currents under seven bridges and through difficult turns. In the Women’s Youth Doubles (2x), SDRC’s Mariko Kelly and Jillian Renly claimed fifth place in a field of 33 boats, besting their competition with a blazing time of 20:21.38 The youth doubles field included junior national championship teams from Germany, Canada and the U.S. In the Women’s Youth Fours (4+), SDRC’s Christina Indudhara, Rachel Wayne, Cassandra Fernandes, Jordan Glenn and coxswain Madeline Ottilie earned eighth place in a field of 84 boats. In windy, cold race conditions, the SDRC 4+ team surged ahead of

Jillian Renly, Mariko Kelly, Rachel Wayne, coach Susan Francia, Madeline Ottilie, Cassandra Fernandes, Christina Indudhara and Jordan Glenn Courtesy more than a half-dozen boats, fighting their way to a 20:22.81 finish time — just seven-tenths of a second off seventh place and drawing praise from the race announcer. Two-time U.S. Olympic rowing gold medalist Susan Francia coaches the SDRC Varsity Women and cheered the team’s results. SDRC was the only club to bring home

two top 10 finishes in the youth doubles and youth fours races. “I am incredibly proud of the accomplishments of the girls,” said Coach Francia. “Jill (Renly) and Mariko (Kelly) had a fantastic race, pushing the pace in the double. We didn’t even know the caliber of athletes that we were up against in this field and Jill and Mariko really held their own. T:10.33”

The four very pleasantly surprised me with their top 10 finish. Three of the four girls were novices last year but if you were watching the race you wouldn’t have been able to tell. They rowed very well and kept pushing their boat ahead. Maddie (Ottilie) steered a phenomenal course, yelling at crews to get out of the way, all while calmly motivating

the crew to stay focused. Both boats really rose to the challenge in this incredibly competitive regatta and they looked good doing it!” At the HOCR rowers have staggered starts separated by 15 seconds. They race against the clock instead of directly head-tohead. Boats start in single file, but as they row the strenuous course, faster boats pass the others. The regatta featured more than 11,000 athletes this year, competing in 2,252 boats in 60 events. Rowers from clubs, schools and universities represented 40 states and 28 countries. More than 400,000 spectators lined the river for miles to watch. The Varsity Women row on Mission Bay out of SDRC’s boathouse on El Carmel Point. The SDRC is a non-profit founded in 1888 to help develop and expand the sport. The club’s Juniors Program offers one of the premiere places to learn to row, developing strong athletes who go on to compete on college crew and national teams.

Taste of La Jolla raises funds for the high school

section b 10 QUESTIONS

Tom Galligan turns author in retirement

om Galligan was born and raised in New York City where he graduated from Fordham University and received an MBA degree from New York University. He served two years as an officer in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. He eventually wound up in Los Angeles and cofounded a women’s clothing manufacturing firm. When he sold the company, he moved to La Jolla with his wife, Sara, a retired teacher, and their four children. Tom Galligan Galligan was a member of the board of directors for Scripps Bank for 10 years before it was sold to US Bank. His children and six grandchildren all live in southern California. He recently completed a novel with ties to La Jolla, “The Almega Project,” which is available on amazon.com What brought you to La Jolla? I owned a women’s clothing manufacturing company in Los Angeles. My family and I spent many a vacation in La Jolla. We loved the area so much that I bought a vacation home in La Jolla Shores in 1976. When I retired, we moved here permanently in 1986.

Dinner marks centennial for historic La Jolla Woman’s Club building

If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? Traffic congestion is the most serious problem we face and I haven’t a clue as to how many finger snaps it would take to make an appreciable change.

ome to many parties and celebrations over the past 10 decades, the La Jolla Woman’s Club at 7791 Draper Ave., held a soiree of its own Oct. 17 to mark the occasion of its 100th year. Also known as San Diego Historical Landmark No. 79, the building was designed in 19131914 by Irving Gill (1870-1936), preeminent architect of the Modernist era, and was commissioned by Ellen Browning Scripps. Today, the club has 175 members who participate in a variety of programs and activities. Membership requires attendance at two events and payment of $50 yearly dues. lajollawomansclub.org u

Who or what inspires you? The Jesuit teachers that I had at Fordham Prep and Fordham College imparted the knowledge that inspired me to be a selfconfident and a goal-oriented person. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? My guest list would include Jesus Christ, Julius Caesar, Bill Gates, Mother Teresa, George Washington, Golda Meir, Alexander the Great and Oprah Winfrey. (With Jesus at the head of the table, I would be assured of having an unending supply of great wines to lubricate the tongues of all the attendees).

Flan de Queso is a cheese custard topped with caramel sauce and manchego cheese.

Josefas Cocina Mexicana opens in La Jolla By Kelley Carlson uan Carlos Gomez’s family of restaurants has a new addition. Josefas Cocina Mexicana (which joins eateries El Agave, Iberico Spanish Bistro and Mola Gastro Bar) opened mid-Septmber in the Village of La Jolla. “We are excited to be in La Jolla and bring our culinary innovation to this beautiful city,” said Executive Chef Omar Ramirez in a news release. “This new concept is a treat for both us, and those who visit our eclectic kitchen.” The indoor setting is vibrant and whimsical, while on the outdoor patio, guests are treated to views of Prospect Street and a glimpse of the nearby ocean. As they pore over the menu, they will discover an abundance of selections, and according to General Manager Luis Cardenas, the fare touches upon all regions of Mexico. Many patrons will kick off their visit with one of the handcrafted margaritas. The top of the line is the Cadillac Margarita, a powerful and smooth blend of El Agave Artesanal Reposado, lime and orange juice

On The Menu Recipe n The Recipe of the Week is

Josefas’ Guacamole Find it at the bottom of the online version of this story at lajollalight.com or visit www.bit.ly/otmrestaurants with a float of Grand Marnier. There’s also the spicy Apocalypto Margarita with serrano-infused tequila and tamarind nectar for a hint of sweetness. Josefas offers antojitos (street food) such as sopes, which are essentially Mexican pizzas with toppings like sautéed shrimp with chorizo, and achiote citrus stewed shredded pork. Another choice is the tostada — mini corn tortillas piled with shredded

chicken in a smoky tomato sauce, beans, lettuce, sour cream and pickled onions. For patrons in the mood for several courses, they can start with one of several types of ceviches, or perhaps the zesty Pulpo Loreto Style, a bowl filled with octopus pieces sautéed in chile-infused oil, with pico de gallo and avocado dressing. When it comes to the main course, there’s everything from salads, tacos and tortas, to burritos, enchiladas and fajitas, ranging from vegetarian varieties to entrees beefed up with steak, chicken and seafood. One that combines the best of everything is the Molcajete Cielo, Mar y Tierra, a sizzling centerpiece of food with cactus paddles, shrimp, rib eye and ranch-style chorizo draped over the sides of a hot stone mortar. The bowl is filled with a choice of spicy red tomato salsa or green tomatillo, and the strips can be piled onto corn tortillas. Desserts include Homemade Ice Cream and Flan de Queso, a cheese custard topped with caramel sauce and manchego cheese, and accented with berries, apple slices and candied walnuts. u

From LJS&C REPORTS he La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) will present the first concert of its six-concert 60th anniversary season, “The Nature of Things,” Nov. 8-9, at Mandeville Auditorium on UC San Diego campus. A pre-concert lecture by Choral Director David Chase and visiting composer Nathan Davis will be offered one hour prior to curtain. The first concert explores the nature of sensation and thought, with the world premiere of Davis’ “a Sound uttered, a Silence crossed” and one of the mightiest of all symphonies, Gustav Mahler’s “Symphony No. 5.” Music Director Steven Schick and Chase will conduct chorus and orchestra, with guest artist red fish blue fish.

Act 1 Davis and librettist Laura Mullen scored “a Sound uttered, a Silence crossed” for chorus and four percussionists. The multidimensional work charts the human journey from the first awareness of sound to the promise offered by the mastery of skills needed to reach out to others, to the joy in connection, and on to a transformative confrontation with the limits of communication. An extensive battery of percussion, performed by UCSD’s percussion ensemble red fish blue fish, buttresses the piece and provides context, and, in a unique collaboration, the libretto is drawn from writings by chorus members and others, as well as poems created for the occasion. Davis is a core member of the internationally renowned contemporary

The CurrenT STaTe of SubSTanCe abuSe and SuCCeSSful ModelS of reCovery Substance abuse is an issue that touches lives across economic, social and cultural landscapes, and it overwhelmingly is on the rise. In 2012, more than nine percent of the United States population had used an illicit drug or abused a psychotherapeutic medication, up from 8.3 percent in 2002, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

Dr. Sunder

SAMHSA defineS tHoSe SubStAnceS AS:

• Tobacco • Alcohol • Marijuana • Cocaine • Methamphetamines • Prescription Drugs • Opiates including heroin

CURRENT STATE OF U.S. SUBSTANCE ABUSE

As with many other countries across the world, America finds itself entrenched in an uphill battle with substance abuse and addiction. Abuse of tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs costs the U.S. more than $600 billion related to crime, lost work productivity and healthcare, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Dr. Keerthy Sunder, M.D., Executive Medical Director of BRISAS Recovery and Wellness Center of La Jolla, says major inroads have been made in the prevention and treatment of substance abuse but that much work remains. “I am excited for how I’ve seen the field change since I began in medicine, but we are still learning,” he said. Sunder entered medicine as an obstetrics physician. He switched focus after delivering many babies who were born addicted to illicit drugs because of their mothers’ issues with substance abuse. He realized he could positively impact two lives by treating teens and adults with addiction. “It is a powerful thing to see effective treatments and feel the reward of saving or improving lives,” he said. “I think as a doctor, that is why you enter the field.” Sunder possesses extensive experience as a clinician, researcher, administrator, teacher, lecturer and writer for peer-reviewed journals and book chapters. He has also authored a book, “Addictions – Face Your Addiction and Save Your Life,” and has earned diplomates from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, the American Board of Addiction Medicine and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists

in London, England. Sunder said high-profile celebrity cases of substance abuse are sometimes glamorized by the media, making it difficult to disseminate the truth behind addiction as a mental illness. “It’s so important to get out the right kind of information when something like that is being covered by all of the news outlets,” he said. “We need to make it more clear that addiction is a brain disorder, not a moral failure. We need to take away some of the unfortunate stigma that comes with it.”

SUCCESSFUL MODEL OF RECOVERY

Sunder’s innovative recovery center in California combines science and art in guiding people through intensive, effective treatment and recovery processes. As Executive Medical Director, Sunder partners with Chief Operations Officer Dr. Jennifer Prager to provide a full spectrum of evidence-based, integrated treatments that acknowledge the bio-psycho-social model of addiction. The center offers working professionals a six-week Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) including ambulatory medical detoxification. Sunder has seen positive results . Here’s why he says it works: • BRISAS’ multidisciplinary team of licensed, board-certified physicians, psychologists, and therapists specializing in addiction medicine and substance abuse • Supportive treatment environment where the individual is motivated to change their problem behaviors and meet life’s challenges while achieving long-term abstinence • A specific design for individuals with daytime responsibilities who need to maintain their daily obligations “The supportive environment is crucial,” Sunder said. “There are people out there with no insurance and no social support who are forced to really white-knuckle their way through battling addiction. They may relapse after a stretch of success, but nobody keeps track of that.” Sunder urges those battling with addiction — in any stage of the disease — to reach out to trained, accredited professionals in their area. “Programs like ours that are clinically proven and based in science and evidence are most effective,” he said. “It’s so critical to take that first step.”

You are UNIQUE. Your treatment should be too. BRISAS

Recovery and Wellness Center of La Jolla offers working professionals a 6-week, evening curriculum Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) designed specifically for individuals with daytime responsibilities who need to maintain their daily obligations, and who require a substance abuse treatment program able to accommodate that need.

How To CHoose A QuAliTy ArCHiTeCT Architecture is one of the most fascinating professions. It requires science, technology and an eye for art. The best architects create beautiful, functional buildings. Choosing the right professional means you will have a structurally sound building that will attract visitors. Ensure the stability and success of your building project by choosing a high-quality and creative architect.

USE YOUR SHORT LIST

HAVE A PLAN

INTERVIEWS

Don’t depend on an architect to make all the choices. You should be able to envision an idea, or even a basic outline of your expectations. It will help you form the right questions. Architects often have specialties. For example, one architect might excel at creating doctor’s offices while another can build an addition to your home. When constructing your plan, always consider the budget, structure’s location, time and space requirements. A professional will also need to know the use, layout and style of the building. They will create blueprints and information for the project management from the details you give them.

OPTIONS

Make a list of several candidates that you collect from referrals, advertisements and research. Keep your options open during this process. Referrals are a fantastic way to understand an architect’s process. Look around your region to find structures you like. Check to see which architect managed the project and add that professional to the list. If you want to conduct research online, go to websites such as www.aia.org and www. servicemagic.com. Both sites match architects and clients based on various factors, including budget and location.

Once you have gathered your list, contact firms and give them a description of your project. Inquire if the firm is available for your project and ask for literature or brochures about their previous designs. After reviewing their information, narrow your list to two or three candidates and set up interviews. Plan to spend at least an hour interviewing each prospective architect personally. Meeting them is vital to understanding how they work. Ask questions concerning their design philosophy and approach to creating a building. Each person you meet should have a clear idea of your budget and expectations.

PAYMENT METHODS

Architects have different payment options such as hourly rates, flat amounts, or fixed fees. The most common today is a fixed fee payment option with the project scope clearly specified within the contract. Be certain you agree on how you manage cost overruns and project delays. It is your responsibility to contain the costs of the project. Be sure there is clear communication between you and your prospective architect.

FINAL DECISION

Quality architects will take notes and ask questions during the interview. He or she will welcome your input during the entire process. Ultimately, you should choose the architect who makes you most comfortable. Great architects are respectful, accommodating and practical. They show the appropriate amount of concern for the client, project and budget.

How to CHoose In-Home Care

Sometimes, people need help in order to live independently. Seniors and even young people with debilitating disease could live at home with assistance. Nursing homes are no longer the only option. While many of them provide compassionate care, the move can prove to be expensive and traumatic. It forces the patient to leave their familiar environment and belongings.

PERSONAL CARE

In-home care is becoming more common. Patients who need regular attention can still live at home surrounded by family and friends. It is the perfect compromise. Professionals visit the home of the patient to provide services. Not only is it convenient and comfortable, it is typically less expensive than the care offered at a full-time facility. Because it is growing in popularity, many in-home care companies often specialize in services ranging from housekeeping and errand running to daily medical assistance. Talk to your loved one’s primary care physician to help you understand your choices. The doctor can help you select a provider and help you determine the level of care required. This professional may even have referrals to give you. After speaking to several in-home care providers, you can compare the range of services they offer. Typically, they will fall into three categories:

Homebound people often need companionship. An inhome care professional will provide a friendly face and good conversation as well as general care. It might be a matter of reading aloud to your loved one, discussing the daily news or playing a game of cards. Quality in-home care providers understand that patients also need mental stimulation and human contact in order to stay well.

MEDICAL CARE

Providers vary greatly in terms of the types of medical care they provided. Some may be able to offer 24-hour care while others are better with simple tasks, such as monitoring blood sugar or reminding patients to take medication. Always inquire about the medical qualifications of any in-home care providers you are considering. All workers should have the proper training, degrees and certifications. If you are unclear about the exact level of medical care your loved one will require, ask your physician. The doctor will also be able to tell you what qualifications in-home care providers should have in your situation.

Caregivers can help with daily grooming, mobility and any special diet requirements. They can help prepare meals or run simple errands.

COMPANIONSHIP

Before entering a contract, understand the services that will be provided. You want to make sure you are getting what you need without paying for services that are not Jennifer Muskat required. If personal care is needed, you should not have to pay for medical care as well. Everyone, including you, should be comfortable with the people who work for the company. In-home caregivers will quickly become part of your life, especially as they enter and exit the house. Get referrals from people who have been in a similar situation. The best in-home care provider is about finding the right combination of services. Once you have the right company, the patient will receive companionship, comfort and cost savings that make in-home care such a fantastic choice.

Do you want the best in home care for your family? Call Home Care Assistance.

Only the best are good enough for Home Care Assistance! We follow this with extensive training. Finally we invite geriatric experts to meet with our caregivers so that they are up-to-date with the newest ideas about senior care. Hourly and Live-In Care. Our caregiving services focus on two basic types of care: hourly and live-in. The service you choose is determined by your particular needs.

Live-in care differs from hourly care in that we provide personal aides on a daily basis. Live-in caregivers are often the best choice for those seniors who need the companionship of another person, but who do not have intense “all the time” personal needs. At Home Care Assistance we mean it when we talk about providing the best in senior care–whether it is on an hourly basis or a live-in basis.

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 or visit the Internet Web site, using the file number assigned to this case 13-519837. 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. Call 714-573-1965

LYON, Decedent NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: CHAROLOTTE G. LYON CASE NUMBER: 37-2014-00033710-PR-PW-CTL To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of CHAROLOTTE G. LYON; CHARLOTTE LYON; CHARLOTTE G. LYON. A Petition for Probate has been filed by KATHLEEN MCGUIRE in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN DIEGO. The petition for Probate requests that KATHLEEN MCGUIRE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 11/20/2014 Time: 1:30 PM. Dept.: PC-2. Address of court: same as noted above. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: James R. Stubbs 671 Indian Ridge Palm Desert, CA 92211 760-200-4556 LJ1777. Oct. 16, 23, 30, 2014

Coldwell Banker in top spot for 2014

oldwell Banker has ranked No. 1 in San Diego County for listing units, buyer units, total units and sales volume, according to the most recent Trendgraphix Market Share Report. The report included data compiled through the end of August 2014, based on records supplied by the California Real Estate Technology Services Inc. Total units sold by Coldwell Banker were 9.2 percent of the market, while the No. 2 ranked Keller Williams trailed oneand-a-half points behind at 7.7 percent, and the No. 3 ranked Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices trailed at 6.5 percent. “Competition is fierce, with the biggest names in real estate included in this ranking. For our brokerage to rank No. 1 out of 20 proves that we’re doing things right. I couldn’t be prouder of our team,” said Jamie Duran, president of Coldwell Banker Orange County and San Diego Companies. According to Duran,
