Commission cuts down year-round seal rope By Pat Sherman Despite the California Coastal Commission’s unanimous July approval of a Coastal Development Permit to install a year-round rope separating humans and seals at Children’s Pool beach in La Jolla, San Diego’s Planning Commission drew a firm line in the sand Sept. 27, once again denying the year-round rope. Planning commissioners voted 10-1 against their own staff’s
recommendation to allow the yearround rope. Currently, the rope is up only six months a year, during the seals’ winter pupping season. After hours of public testimony on both sides of the issue, the commissioners unanimously reached the same conclusion they had in December 2010 — the rope prohibits beach access in violation of La Jolla’s community plan. The Planning Commission was
technically hearing an appeal of the San Diego City Council’s May 2010 approval of a site development permit to install and maintain the yearround rope, which is intended as a buffer between humans and seals. Prior to the commissioners’ deliberation, public interest attorney Bryan Pease, who filed the initial lawsuit on behalf of the Animal Protection and Rescue League, demanding the year-round rope, questioned why
the issue was brought back before the Planning Commission. “The City Council has already made the exact same findings that the Planning Commission is being asked to make,” Pease said. “The Coastal Commission also made the exact same findings in granting the coastal development permit. The City Council …

Jane Goodall presides over benefit in La Jolla By Pat Sherman he world’s foremost authority on Chimpanzees, Jane Goodall, was in La Jolla Friday night, Sept. 28, to raise money for her Virginia-based wildlife and environmental conservation organization, The Jane Goodall Institute. The event was held at the La Jolla Farms estate of Michelle Lerach, owner of Cups bakery, and husband, William Lerach. Prior to the event, the 78-year-old primatologist, anthropologist and United Nations Messenger of Peace sat down with the La Jolla Light to share some of her observations on mankind’s closest living relatives. Though Goodall does not travel with a live chimp, a stuffed Congolese companion was at her side, similar to Jubilee, the toy chimp her father gave her as a child, which still sits on her dresser in London. “He’s too frail to travel,” Goodall said of Jubilee, introducing “Mr. H,” her

stuffed traveling companion of 16 years, which was given to her by young Marine who lost his eyesight. Asked about the moment at Gombe Stream National Park when Goodall discovered chimpanzees’ dark side — which includes a capacity for violent and aggressive behavior, including cannibalism — Goodall said it was “really shocking.” However, she said chimps also have a tremendous capacity for love, compassion and altruism. “The chimpanzees show both, just as we do,” she said. “They have very strong bonds between family members, and can live to be 70 years. … Brothers will support each other; adult females will rescue their fullygrown sons, or go to their help, anyway.” During her 45-year study on the social and familial interactions of wild chimps in Gombe Stream in Tanzania, Goodall became one of the first researchers to challenge two long-held beliefs — that chimps are strictly vegetarian and that

Kudos to All Hallows Academy Clearity Foundation in La Jolla honored for ovarian cancer work
The Clearity Foundation’s executive director, Hillary Theakston.
Women battling ovarian cancer and their advocates were honored during the San Diego City Council’s Sept. 25 meeting. Councilwoman Sherri Lightner presented a proclamation declaring September as “Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month” in the City of San Diego. Lightner and fellow Councilmember Marti Emerald praised the contributions of The Clearity Foundation, which is based in La Jolla, for increasing awareness of the disease and advancing ovarian cancer research towards early diagnosis. Lightner said she has lost two close friends to ovarian cancer, known as a “silent killer” for its vague initial symptoms that make it difficult to detect until the cancer is advanced. There to accept the honor was Hillary Theakston, executive director of The Clearity Foundation. “While we’ve made amazing progress in improving survival for some cancers, the odds for women with ovarian cancer have not improved significantly since 1950,” Theakston said. “The best way to defeat ovarian cancer is to catch it early and personalize treatment for each patient. n For more information, visit clearityfoundation.org

From Seal Rope, A1 and the Coastal Commission are above the Planning Commission and the land use hierarchy. For the Planning Commission to make different findings based on the same facts would just be, I believe, an abuse of discretion.” Joe Cordaro, a retired wildlife biologist assigned to study the seal issue at Children’s Pool as an employee of the National Marine Fisheries Service, said he has attended countless meetings with people on both sides of the issue through the years. “Yet here we are 20 years later still debating this issue, which is kind of frustrating,” he said. Cordaro said it is important to keep the seal rope up beyond the pupping season, as molting — a one- to three-month process in which seals shed their coats — is an important period in the animals’ lives, and begins after the last pup is weaned from its mother, at the beginning of summer. The current harbor seal population in California is about 30,000 to 40,000. The seals are neither a threatened, nor endangered species. However, Cordaro said,
“The (federal) Marine Mammal Protection Act does not differentiate between a stable and a depressed population. Both populations are afforded equal protection under the law.” When the seals first began moving from Seal Rock (located off the La Jolla coast) to Children’s Pool beach in the early 1990s, Cordaro advised city officials that under the Marine Mammal Protection Act they could legally prevent the seals “from populating a beach where they’ve never been before … and trying to make a foothold.” “That’s what we told the city of San Diego way back in the 1990s, that it had to have this beach for either people or for seals,” Cordaro said. “We didn’t believe in a shared-use policy because we knew there would be problems, but the City Council didn’t listen to our recommendations. That’s really why we’re here now.” Now that the seals have established a rookery, there is no legal mechanism that provides local, state or federal agency the authority to remove the seals from the beach, he said. “The seals are here to

Continued harassment of the seals that interferes with pupping, molting and other haul-out related activities may cause irreparable or physiological harm to the animals and may result in private citizens being issued citations in excess of $1,000 by National Marine Fisheries Service. “Just because NMFS has not issued any harassment citations recently, does not mean that they will not issue them in the future,” he said. Nevertheless, Planning Commission Chairman Eric Naslund said he still favors a
Create and Maintain a Healthy & Beautiful SMile!
policy allowing joint use by humans and seals, similar to what is currently in place. “Maybe I’m Pollyanna, but I firmly believe in a policy of joint, shared use,” he said. “Unfortunately,” Naslund added, “all this comes loaded with all sorts of bad behaviors on both sides of the equation. I’m not seeing very many heroes here. … I’ve got to believe the seals are on the beach kind of laughing at us in a way. … “I want to believe there’s a way to do this so that we don’t have people standing at the top of a wall, screaming down at people with bullhorns, that we don’t have people poking and harassing the animals and causing them to flush into the water.” Naslund said the yearround rope conflicts with several aspects of the La Jolla
Community Plan, the prevailing document on land-use issues. The rope that is up from Dec. 15 to May 15 currently allows a 3-foot opening along the east wall for divers and swimmers to access the water, which planning commissioners said is too small. “That a rope that creates a barrier across 90-plus percent of the beach is somehow adequate access is hard to understand,” Naslund said. “I guarantee you that if a developer walked in here and said I’m going to shut down 97 percent of the beach and give you, the public, three feet to go back and forth to the water, there would be an absolute riot.” La Jolla Community Planning Association (CPA) Vicepresident Joe LaCava said the winter barrier also violates the La Jolla Community Plan, which was last updated in 2004. However, he said, “that is the compromise that has been made for the joint use of the beach. That’s the link between why you can support the current rope and oppose the yearround rope.” LaCava suggested that the city continue staffing a ranger at Children’s Pool, as well implement a citymanaged docent program to educate the public and assure people don’t wander too close to seals during the summer, when the seals are
more scarce. “It protects the seals when they haul out and allows unfettered public use when they are not around,” LaCava said. Patrick Ahern, board president of La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc., which advises the city on issues affecting La Jolla’s parks and beaches, spoke in favor of the lifeguard union’s plan to install movable boulders at Children’s Pool. This more permanent, physical and psychological barrier between humans and seals has gained some traction in the community since it was introduced earlier this year. The plan has been endorsed by both the La Jolla Community Planning Association and La Jolla Parks and Beaches. Naslund said he felt the moveable boulders plan was “the most interesting solution” he has heard thus far. “I have not thought this all the way through,” Naslund said. “There may be some legitimate problems with that … but I’ve got to believe that something like that can be done.” LaCava requested that the Planning Commission continue the hearing for six months and direct all the stakeholders to work together to explore variations on the lifeguard union’s plan. n To watch the hearing in its entirety, visit: http://bit.ly/sept27meeting

Two La Jolla scientists predicted to win Nobel Prize By Ashley Mackin For the past 11 years, Thomson Reuters has issued predictions as to who will win the Nobel Prize in science categories, as “Citation Laureates.” This year, two La Jollabased scientists are included on that list in the Medicine category. Tony R. Hunter of the Salk Institute of Biological Studies and Erkki Ruoslahti of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute are predicted to win for their cellular-based medical research. Tony R. The “official” Nobel Hunter announcement regarding the winner will be Oct. 8 at 11:30 a.m. from Stockholm, Sweden. A press release issued by Thompson Reuters explained the process by which the scientists are chosen. “Based on a thorough review of Erkki citations to their research, Ruoslahti the company names these high-impact researchers as Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates and predicts them to be Nobel Prize winners, either this year or in the future,” the release stated. "Our Citation Laureate selection process operates much like the Nobel Foundation's selection process," Thomson Reuters citation analyst David Pendlebury said in the release. "We recognize fundamental discoveries and identify the most important contributors to these discoveries. Our Citation Laureates have made such important contributions to science that we believe them to be peers of the Nobel Prize winners in every way; they simply have yet to win." In 2011, Thompson Reuters correctly predicted nine of the winners. Hunter was suggested because of his research in cell signaling and control. His 40 years of research in how cancer cells work has led to the development and approval of over 10 cancer treatment drugs. In researching the mechanisms of cancer and tumors, Hunter and his team discovered what he refers to as a switch. This switch, when turned on, tells cells when to grow and divide. “What we found was, cancer viruses use this switch as one of the ways in which they
cause the cancer cells to proliferate in an uncontrolled manner,” Hunter explained. He also said normal healthy cells can turn the switch on and off. “They turn it on when they want to grow and divide and turn it off again. What these cancer viruses were able to do were to turn the switch on permanently, so they’re always dividing,” he said. The medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration over the last 10 years target the individual enzymes that carry this switch throughout the body. “These drugs are part of the arsenal one can use in treating cancer,” Hunter said. From here, Hunter said, he and his team are, “still trying to understand how cancer cells are different from normal cells, to learn what their vulnerabilities are, what one might target in developing yet further cancer drugs.” While humbly doubtful that he will win the Prize, he said he is very excited and felt privileged to be suggested. Ruoslahti is also being predicted for his cancer research at the cellular level. “Inspired by ideas put forward by my supervisor and other professors at Caltech — where I worked as an aspiring researcher — I set out to discover the factors that cells use to attach them to their surrounding tissue, keeping them where they’re supposed to be. I felt that breakdown of this glue was likely to allow cancer cells to migrate [and] metastasize to distant sites in the body,” he said. After 20 years of research, the validity of this theory was proven, and has led to the development of a synthetic compound that blocks or encourages cell attachment. “Applications of these discoveries range from keeping clogged arteries open to getting artificial organs to integrate with living cells to delivering drugs to a site of disease like a guided missile,” Ruoslahti said. He added, “I am excited about the newest applications, [such as] the guided missile delivery of drugs. Some of this is in clinical trials for the treatment and diagnosis of cancers.” Ruoslahti also said there are more being studied on animals that should soon enter into clinical trials. In addition to continuing cancer research, Ruoslahti and his team are using similar technology to improve treatment of heart attacks, strokes and tissue injuries.

T O D A Y by Janet Douglas The Value of Walkability
Walkable neighborhoods are more popular among consumers than ever. According to a new study conducted by the Brookings Institution, people prefer to live in communities that allow them to walk to shops, parks and other destinations and will pay more for a home that allows them to do just that. The study used the Washington D.C. area as a test location for the research. The more walkable the community, the more the price per square foot increased. Rental properties in walkable areas averaged $300 per month more than rentals in other areas and house values average $82 more per sq foot in walkable areas when compared to homes in less walkable areas. The San Diego multiple listing service now has a feature that rates the walkablity of your home when it is listed for sale and gives it a score that potential buyers can check. They can see what stores, shops and walkable destinations are near by.

From Goodall, A1 only humans construct and use tools. Asked if chimps have the capacity for more crafty endeavors, such as knitting or decoupage, Goodall laughed, noting that chimps in captivity have displayed a love of painting and have been taught more than 400 symbols of American Sign Language. “There are some chimpanzees who are very sophisticated in the use of touch pads and computers,” she said. “They have amazing memories for positions of numbers on the page.” The greatest difference between chimps and humans, she said, is mankind’s “explosive” intellectual development — an evolutionary process she doesn’t see occurring in chimps without a spoken language or its equivalent. “If they did develop, I would hope that the right brain would develop at the expense of the left brain, because look at the mess we’ve made,” she said. “How is it the most intellectual creatures who have ever walked on the face of the planet are destroying their only home?” Goodall currently travels 300 days a year sharing her message of forest conservation, raising
awareness about the commercial monkey, chimp and ape meat trade, and reaching out to the next generation through her organization’s “Roots and Shoots” program, which works with preschool- to college-age youth in more than 130 countries. “In Tanzania there’s about 200 square miles of forest that we’re helping to restore or protect, by working with the people, getting their support and helping them to live better lives — working with the people so that they don’t need to cut the trees down or hunt the monkeys, because they can do other things,” she said. Roots and Shoots participants work in groups, choosing from three projects to improve the planet: people, animals and the environment. “You learn about it, yes, but (you also) roll up your sleeves and get out and take action,” Goodall said. “It’s main message is every single individual matters, every single individual makes a difference every single day — and we have a choice as to what kind of difference we’re going to make.” “There’s no point in saving anything if the young people aren’t going to look after it better than we have,” she said.

SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL BUSINESSES Aroma CafĂŠ offers a chic collection of dining experiences
Ben Tashakorian and Oved Haskal, two of the Aroma Cafe’s owners. Courtesy
By Marti Gacioch It’s a restaurant, it’s a bakery, it’s a sports bar, it’s a nightclub: It’s Aroma CafĂŠ, La Jolla’s largest restaurant at 11,000 square feet. Friends and business partners, Ben Tashakorian, Didier Pellerud and Oved Haskal, banded together in 2010 to transform the old Hard Rock CafĂŠ site. Six months later they debuted Aroma CafĂŠ, a multi-use space, including a 1,000-squarefoot bakery, a 350-seat cafĂŠ (open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night dinners), and the BarFly nightclub. The partners each bring their own expertise to their collaborative venture: Tashakorian has worked as a realtor for 10 years. Haskal has owned Pacific Beach’s Society Bar since 1988 and Pellerud brings 35 years of baking expertise to the cafĂŠ. “Our inspiration to open the restaurant was to save the jobs of 85 Hard Rock CafĂŠ employees and their entertainment license for the La Jolla community,â€? Tashakorian said. Aroma CafÊ’s comfortable, casual atmosphere is family-oriented. Children under age 12 eat free all day on Wednesdays, and according to Tashakorian, the cafĂŠ serves about 300 people daily. “Our big, open space has 24 TVs, screening every major sporting event, and plenty of room for the kids to run around,â€? Tashakorian said. “We have patio and courtyard seating, and people can sit on Prospect, too.â€? Aroma CafÊ’s 45-page menu features an exten-
sive array of dishes from Europe, Asia and the Middle East, along with sandwiches and burgers. Popular local favorites include pizza and panninis. “We make our own dough and our pizzas and salads are phenomenal,â€? Tashakorian said. “We are known for our chicken pesto plates, schnitzel, and people keep coming back for our falafel, hummus, chicken shwarma, kebabs and Middle Eastern rice. Co-owner/pastry chef Didier Pellerud heads an in-house team which begins baking breads, croissants, pastries and cookies at 5 a.m. Almond croissants are Pellerud’s signature creation and remain a favorite of repeat customers. The Napoleons and three-layer cakes also have a strong customer following. At 10 p.m. the restaurant space transforms into BarFly — the only nightclub in La Jolla. “We have a DJ booth with a nightclub sound and lighting system,â€? Tashakorian said. “We have live local bands playing jazz and top 40 on Friday and Sunday, and on Friday, free appetizers are available 4-7 p.m. Aroma CafĂŠ and BarFly are available to rent for special events. — Aroma CafĂŠ, 909 Prospect Place, (858) 454-2323. Hours: 7:30 a.m. – 10 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 7:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday; 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday. aromalajolla.com; barflylajolla.com

Seals have residents fit to be tied Our View
T
o rope or not to rope. That is the question. And this editorial is not going to provide the answer. Among life’s many perplexing quandaries — peace in the Mideast, a balanced U.S. budget, global warming, halting hunger and nuclear proliferation — lies the burning issue of whether or not to install a 152-foot-long piece of rope across the beach at Children’s Pool in lovely La Jolla the entire year. The purpose of the twisted twine would be to have a barrier at the beach that “separates” ocean-going humans from the seals that have turned the spot into a rookery since their arrival in the early ’90s. Pro-ropers point to the detrimental taunting of seals by some “ignorant” visitors. Pro-ropers include local business owners who appreciate
the revenue generated by the tourists the seals attract, and residents who delight in having marine life in their backyards. Anti-ropers want their beach back. They want unlimited access to the water. They want the seal fecal contamination cleaned up, and they want to silence the protesting bullhorn blowers. Our cover story speaks to the INCREDIBLE, 20-year-long struggle over this issue. It reveals the indecisiveness and polarization it has
caused among well-meaning, insightful, intelligent citizens and policy-makers. Think we’re exaggerating the situation? As a taxpayer, you should consider all the court, council and commission costs incurred through the years in the fruitless quest for a solution. Alas and alack, in the meantime, the agreed upon temporary pupping season rope goes up on Dec. 15 (through mid-May). What side of the rope are you on?
What’s on YOUR mind?

Scientists find protein implicated in alcoholism
Research Report By LynnE Friedmann
T
here is increasing evidence that the peptide systems regulating food consumption are also critical players in excessive alcohol consumption. Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) report finding new links between the peptide ghrelin, which controls our urge to eat, and brain cells involved in the development of alcoholism. Ghrelin stimulates eating through its action on a receptor in the hypothalamus region of the brain. TSRI scientists have shown that gene defects in both ghrelin and this receptor were associated with severe cases of alcoholism in
animal models. In addition, alcoholic patients have higher levels of the ghrelin peptide circulating in their blood compared to non-alcoholic patients. And, the higher the ghrelin levels, the higher the patients’ reported cravings for alcohol. Moving forward, these peptide systems have the potential to serve as targets for new therapies aimed at treating alcoholism and other addictions. — The study appears in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology. News release at http://bit.ly/UbmgkG Toward a better kids’ cardiac pump Structural and mechanical engineers at UC San Diego are combining forces to create blood flow simulations with the aim of designing an improved cardiac pump for children born with heart defects. The Berlin Heart is currently the only FDA-approved cardiac pump for young children (a few months old up to age 9) who can’t be outfitted with an adult-sized pump. The device is used to extend a
patient’s life until a transplant becomes available. Accurate simulations of the way blood flows inside the pump are important because the device is associated with a 40-percent risk of developing blood clots, which can lead to devastating consequences such as strokes or embolisms. So far, the teams have successfully simulated blood flow within the device. They are now trying to understand how blood clots form inside the pump and, through additional simulations, what design changes are needed to reduce that risk. — More information at http://bit.ly/ O9xjIw Some HIV-positive patients harbor more virus Some people with HIV develop AIDS rapidly and others can be HIV positive for decades and never really develop any symptoms of the disease. UC San Diego biologists have unraveled the antiviral mechanism of a human gene that may explain why some people infected with HIV have much higher amounts of virus in their
bloodstreams than others. The biologists found that a gene called Human Schlafen 11 produces a protein that inhibits the replication of HIV in infected human cells by blocking the ability of the host cell to synthesize viral proteins. Because Human Schlafen 11 specifically blocks synthesis of HIV proteins, the researchers are conducting further studies to see if variations in the Human Schlafen 11 gene can be correlated with disease progression in HIV infected individuals. If that turns out to be the case, the discovery could one day lead to the development of a diagnostic test for HIV infected individuals that would inform them of their likelihood of developing AIDS or, better yet, the development of a therapeutic drug that would prevent HIV infected individuals from ever developing AIDS. — The findings appear in the journal Nature.

By Susan DeMaggio Independent La Jolla will present an informational seminar on cityhood, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17 at the Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. At the free, public event two speakers will address questions from the audience on the process of becoming an independent city — Casey Tanaka, the Mayor of Coronado, and Michael Ott, director of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the group that oversees land annexation in the state of California. ILJ President Cindy Greatrex said in an e-mail to La Jolla Light, “I want to be very clear that this is not a commercial for Independent La Jolla, and not a commercial for cityhood. It is an event to present the pros AND cons. “LAFCO has no horse in the race. It is not concerned about whether any Village becomes a City. It has zero opinion or any sort of ‘interest.’ What it does provide is a blueprint for any landmass that wants to change its status. Its staff makes very certain that any such process follows its guidelines to the letter. That is its function as a government agency.” Greatrex added that neither Ott nor Mayor Tanaka will comment on whether La Jolla should or should not be a city. Each will simply address the process, and answer questions. “Turn-out wise, I do not know if we will get a big crowd, but I think it will be educational for all who do attend — whether they favor the idea or not,” she said. Greatrex added that any ILJ fundraiser would have to wait until the organization receives its 501c3 status.

Police rule out homicide as cause of death at local motel San Diego Police homicide detectives said the Sept. 25 death of a 52-year-old homeless man at the La Jolla Beach Travelodge in the WindanSea is no longer believed to be a murder. Several homeless individuals sharing a room with Sanford Bernstein at the motel discovered him unconscious at approximately 12:20 a.m., and then called the fire department. Medics arrived and transported the man to a local hospital for treatment, where he was found to be suffering from brain swelling similar to what might otherwise indicate blunt force head trauma. The victim was later determined to be brain dead and taken off life support, following notification of his family. An autopsy and brain scan determined that the death was due to an alternate medical issue. — Staff Reports

Biographer to share Jimi Hendrix ‘experience’ at book signing By Pat Sherman teve Roby, acclaimed biographer, archivist and historian of the late guitar virtuoso, Jimi “Voodoo Child” Hendrix, will be in town for a discussion and book signing, 7 p.m. Oct. 13 at D. G. Wills Books in the Village. The author will discuss and sign his most recent book, “Hendrix on Hendrix: Interviews and Encounters with Jimi Hendrix,” which chronicles the psychedelic blues rocker’s brilliant but tragically brief career in his own words, as amassed from European and U.S. print and broadcast news interviews, as well as court transcripts of his trial for narcotics possession at Toronto International Airport. The book even includes a slice of San Diego counterculture journalism from May 1969, when Hendrix allowed San Diego Free Press scribe Jim Brodey to interview him backstage at the Sports Arena, where Hendrix performed with his three-piece band, the Experience. The interviews chronicle

In his first British press interview, The Record Mirror’s Peter Jones dubbed the upand-coming artist, “Mr. Phenomenon.” The last interview, conducted just a week before he died and shortly after his final performance in Germany, finds the artist in a “fragile state,” Roby said. “He was in state of flux, kind of a bit uncertain about his future,” Roby said, noting that the Experience had just broken up and that Hendrix was under pressure from executives at Reprise
Records to release a followup to his third and final album, 1968’s “Electric Ladyland.” “One point he makes (during the interview) is that he wants to be known for not being just a guitar player or a singer,” Roby said. “He wanted to establish himself as a producer or getting into another form of music, like jazz. “Jimi wanted to expand the band, (and his) manager wanted it to continue to be a three-piece, because it had been a successful outfit selling records, and selling out concerts,” Roby said. “Jimi wanted to take it further and experiment with new sounds. He wanted to add horns and congas. He had been experimenting with people like Miles Davis and John McLaughlin. ... His manager wasn’t going for it.” Through the course of the interviews collected for the book, Hendrix expounds on his songwriting process, guitar technique, traumatic childhood, and myriad influences — from Bob Dylan to science fiction books.

La Jollan recalls summer with Hendrix
O
ne La Jollan who will likely be at the D.G. Wills event is well-known community activist Melinda Merryweather, who got to know Hendrix while serving as art director on his posthumously released concert film, “Rainbow Bridge.” The free concert, filmed July 30, 1970, was held on the slopes of Haleakala, a dormant volcano on the island of Maui. Attended by about 200 locals, surfers, students and hippies, it was Hendrix’s second-to-last U.S. concert performance (his final show was two days later, in Honolulu). Merryweather can be seen in much of the film, including a scene in which she rides into frame on horseback. “There were no professional actors,” she said. “This is the first reality movie. Nobody had dared do anything like this before.” Merryweather said she got involved in the project after meeting Hendrix’s manager, Mike Jeffery, on Maui. “Michael Jeffrey was fascinated by me and my friends because we were into all these new age things — vegetarianism, yoga, surfing, being organic and being green.” The film’s director, the late Chuck Wein, was a proponent of so-called color-sound healing. “Jimi was interested in writing some music by color, which is something Beethoven did, and he needed someone to interpret that for him,” recalled Merryweather. A friend of Wein’s from Arizona arrived to transcribe colors into musical notes for some of the songs in the concert. Merryweather took the concept further by having people sit in their astrological sun signs.
Melinda Merryweather (left) and a promotional poster for the concert film, ‘Rainbow Bridge.’ “People showed up and said, ‘You guys are absolutely nuts,’” Merryweather recalled, with a laugh. However, she noted, when Hendrix began jamming the transformation of visible light into sound, many in the audience wept. While filming “Rainbow Bridge,” Merryweather, Hendrix and other cast and crew stayed at Seabury Hall, an Episcopal school in Makawao that was on summer hiatus. While in Hawaii, Merryweather challenged Hendrix to a game of ping-pong, in which they played for the shirts off each other’s backs. Though Merryweather won the American flag T-shirt she so coveted, in hindsight she suspects Hendrix threw the game. Years later, when visiting his father, Al Hendrix, in Seattle, she came upon a pingpong table in the basement, causing his father to effuse about how his son had been somewhat of a neighborhood tennis table champ. Following Hendrix’s death, Merryweather continued her career as a model, commercial art director and interior designer, going on to decorate Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland Studio in New York City and Michael Jeffrey’s home in Woodstock. “I was like the psychedelic
Martha Stewart,” she quipped. At her request, Hendrix wrote a song for Merryweather before leaving Maui. Titled “Scorpio Woman,” it appears as an acoustic demo on the posthumously released compilation, “Morning Symphony Ideas.” “He couldn’t read or write, so he would play into a little tape recorder … for eight or nine hours … (and then) take that back to the studio and build the song around it,” she said. Upon her request, the song includes flamenco, as well as some Bach, Beethoven and blues. Hendrix’s manager mailed the tape to Merryweather after his death. During the recording, Hendrix can be heard getting up to answer the telephone. “I played it for Stevie Ray Vaughan and he just broke down and cried because he didn’t realize Jimi (also) had to struggle (with the songwriting process),” Merryweather said. Though the Hendrix estate wanted professional musicians to finish the song, and the sound of the ringing phone removed, Merryweather insisted it be released unaltered. “I’m going, ‘God, that’s the whole beauty of it,’” she said. “It’s all just so precious and beautiful and rich.” — Pat Sherman

Torreys dominate in 45-0 win over San Diego Southwest Sage Burmeister returned the opening kickoff 99 yards to set the tone for La Jolla Country Day as it took on San Diego Southwest High School last Friday night. The Torreys won the game 45-0. Special teams coordinator Robert Grasso’s units dominated the Raiders, putting them in poor field position all night while setting up the Torrey offense with short scoring drives. Josiah Poutoa blocked two punts, giving Country Day the ball on Southwest’s 16 and 30-yard lines, while Colin McMahon recovered a Raider fumble on a kickoff return, setting the Torreys up on Southwest’s 11-yard-line. On offense, McMahon led the Torrey rushing for 99 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. Burmeister added 34 yards and two TDs on four carries. Country Day will open Coastal League

La Jolla High football earns first win The La Jolla High Football team earned its first win of the season last weekend with a 21-0 defeat of Coronado. The team got touchdowns from Brandon Richmond, Jack Irwin and William Geary. “It was good getting back to our city conference schedule,” head coach Rey Hernandez said. “We had a huge defensive effort and a number of kids played really well.” The Vikings returned two interceptions for touchdowns (Geary 46 yards and Irwin 48 yards) in the lopsided win.

High school will also get major renovations for athletic facilities By Phil Dailey a Jolla High was the first high school in California to get an artificial playing surface for football. That was more than 12 years ago. Today, the battered surface is now the oldest in the state and is need of replacement. But that is not going to happen until, most likely, 2015, according to La Jolla High School principal Dana Shelburne. The playing surface at Gene Edwards Stadium is home to La Jolla High’s football, lacrosse, soccer and field hockey teams. The Bishop’s School also plays its home football games on the surface. “They got their money’s worth out of this turf, especially in light of all the people who have used it,” said Rey Hernandez, head coach of the La Jolla High football team. Though the field is worn, it has been tested and is still considered safe.

From La Jolla High, A17 However, FieldTurf, the most wellknow artificial surface supplier suggests that a “properly maintained FieldTurf synthetic turf system is expected to last 8-10 years with normal usage and adherence to guidelines.” “It’s held up,” Hernandez said. “They test it every year to see if it’s still in playable condition and its passed the test every time.” There is a reason for the long wait until the turf gets replaced and it has to do with Proposition “S,” which was passed in 2008 providing $2.1 billion to repair and renovate San Diego Unified Schools. There are many schools in the district that are in need of athletic facilities upgrades and several that have already benefited with new turf, lights, tracks, weight rooms and total facilities upgrades. The list so far includes: Hoover High, Point Loma High, Patrick Henry High and University City High. It’s not whether the turf — and the rest of the facilities at LJHS — get a facelift, its when. All Shelburne knows is that it will happen in the next few years. The wait should be worth it as the site of the football field, track and tennis courts will undergo a major overhaul. The area where the boys locker room currently sits, which is accessed by downward steps from the field, will be brought up to the same level as the track and football field. “The goal then is to build a visitorsside snack shack with handicap accessible bathrooms,” Shelburne said. “Next to that will be a brand new weight room, next to that will be a new boys
locker room and next to that will permanent bleachers.” And, of course, the centerpiece will be the plush green turf and a new track. “The new one will look a lot snappier,”Shelburne said. “Now that they (the school district) are putting in turf they have the school logo in the middle of the field, and in the end zone they have the name of the school and in the other end zone they have the mascot name. Those options were available in 2000 when the turf originally went in, but at a cost that was not in the school’s budget. To get an idea of what it cost for a new field, Torrey Pines High School (which is in the San Dieguito Union High School District) recently installed its field for a cost of $1.25 million Along with the football field upgrades, the tennis courts will be upgraded with new stands. Country Day turf to be replaced La Jolla Country Day also plays its home football games on an artificial surface and according to athletic director Jeff Hutzler, this is the final year for the current field. “We are replacing ours a year from now,” Hutzler said prior to the start of the season. “We have got some drawings from different companies but we have not bid it out yet.” The turf was installed at Country Day in 2003 by Turftech, a company that is no longer in business. The school will likely go with FieldTurf, which runs about $11 a square foot.

La Jolla Country Day tennis has solid week After realizing what they needed to work on after the Dana Hills Tournament, the La Jolla Country Day girls tennis team had another tough week of matches. The team competed against Bishop’s, La Costa Canyon and Pacific Ridge and came out with wins against Bishop’s (11-7) and Pacific Ridge (12-3).
Against Bishop’s the girls started solid in the first rotation with a 4-2 lead. Standout players were Lindsey Jacobs and Kendal McGinnis, who dominated all of their doubles matches. Although they beat Bishop’s and Pacific Ridge, the Torreys had a tough match against La Costa Canyon, losing 10-8. Despite the loss, the Torreys had impressive wins from singles players, Danielle Devor, Kendal McGinnis. To end the long week, the girls hosted the LJCDS Girl’s Varsity Invitational on Friday and Saturday. The Torreys defeated Rancho Bernardo 5-4 with Niki Mani winning the deciding match in a long three-set match. The Torreys then played La Jolla High, falling to the Vikings, 6-3. This week the Torreys play today at Bishop’s.
La Jolla High girls golf still perfect in league The La Jolla girls golf team won three matches last week and remain in first place in the Western League.

Catering business brings Salem Ciuffa the joys of her life After college at the University of NevadaReno, and a year in Argentina working as a trapeze artist, Salem Ciuffa moved to La Jolla in 1997 to be close to her family. She worked in the medical industry for several years as a practice manager and with a start-up medical company in business development. Salem met her husband, Giuseppe, in 2003 over a piece of carrot cake at one of his former restaurants and with their love of Salem Ciuffa food and each other, they created the La Jolla-based catering company, Giuseppe Restaurants & Fine Catering, and three restaurants, Museum Café at MCASD La Jolla, Sculpture Court Café at SDMA and Caroline’s Seaside Café at UCSD Scripps Institute. Salem works as the CFO. Together they have three children. Keller, 17, and Sophia, 15, attend La Jolla High School. Marilena, 6, goes to La Jolla Elementary. Salem has served on committees for the Nordstrom Designer Preview to benefit Promises2Kids, The New Children’s Museum gala, The Ronald McDonald house gala and the Nov. 3 Heels2Heal Fashion event in La Jolla to benefit Miracle Babies. What brought you to La Jolla? I moved to La Jolla to be close to my mother, who is a San Diego native, and to have my son attend the wonderful local schools. Little did I know that I would meet my wonderful husband, Giuseppe, and his daughter, start our new family, learn to speak Italian with my Italian in-laws, create a local business, open new restaurants, and enjoy life by the beach. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would definitely have an amazing Italian restaurant in the Village, owned by my husband so that I could have a fantastic bowl of pasta, and I would love to see more boutiques to shop instead of vacancy signs. Who or what inspires you? People who live an honest life in pursuit of their happiness, inspire me. My mother is living that every day and I admire her so much. What is it that you most dislike? Dishonesty. Period.

… women traditionally walk on the left side of a man on the street? In older days, men wore their swords on the left hip to be drawn with their right hand. Having one’s lady on the left arm had the advantages of shielding her from a potential enemy by allowing one to press her away from danger, and keeping the sword arm (right arm) free to draw the blade at a moment’s notice. — Max, the history buff at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, La Jolla
San Diego Writing Women to host book fair party The San Diego Writing Women will host a Book Fair Party, 5-9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13 at Seaside Home, 1055 Wall St., La Jolla.

Guests will also have a chance to chat with individual authors while partaking of complimentary wine, hors d’oeuvres and music by Studio 2656, a group of veteran San Diego studio musicians. The readings will include this year’s Geisel Award winner “Finding Emilie,” by Laurel Corona; the controversial “Lost Girls,” by Caitlin Rother; the critically acclaimed “The Care and Handling of Rose With Thorns,” by Margaret Dilloway, and “Sky of Red Poppies,” by Zohreh Ghahremani, this year’s One Book, One San Diego winner. “Last year, we launched the group to celebrate the written word, and announce our goal to share our combined knowledge and experience with readers, writers and aspiring writers everywhere,” said Rother. “With this event, we want to continue that literary conversation as we introduce our new books and new members to our growing writing community.” For a reservation, contact Rother, at crother@flash.net or (619) 980-7980.

The guests would be Woody Allen, Oprah, Paulo Coelho (author of “The Alchemist,” one of my favorite books), Valentino, Anthony Bourdain (can’t get enough of his sarcasm), Sophia Loren, Kevyn Aucoin (unbelievable makeup artist) and Sting.

Despite efforts by the Mexican government to protect the sanctuaries, several forces persist in threatening the monarch migration.

Airline pre-boards have gone, well, overboard
Let Inga tell you ...
N
ow that coach travel on airlines has deteriorated into abject misery, everyone is looking for a way to raise themselves above the fray, however briefly. The airlines, recognizing that we all want to feel special (and since they have absolutely no intention of making us feel special once we’re in the air) are throwing us crumbs in the form of opportunities to go through the First Class security line, or to get priority boarding. An aisle seat has become a coveted prize, and boarding early is not only a status symbol but a way to up the chances one’s bag will fly free in an overhead space and better, arrive at your
destination when you do. But as my husband, Olof, and I found when we took a recent trip on an airline we rarely fly (they had a nonstop to our destination), the new system may have run amok. It was at boarding time that things got really loony. As always, the Grand Poobah million mile fliers, First Class folks, and the elderly, infirm, and childencumbered had priority, followed in turns by the Gold, Silver, and SemiPrecious Metals mileage club members. (We actually have frequent flier accounts for this airline but somehow — expiring miles, I think — seem perpetually mired at the Cubic Zirconium level.) When all those folks were safely seated, they called for people who bought early boarding rights by virtue of purchasing the airline’s pricey credit card, then summoned the people who had responded to their announcement of a preboard if they allowed their roller bag to be gate checked.
Somewhere in there, Star Alliance members also made the cut, followed by military members in uniform, and then members of a special club that one could join if one lived in the airline’s ancestral state (some kind of quaint local pride thing, I think). Then — finally! — the folks in rows 20-35! Actual civilians! The crowd had really thinned out by then and we, in row 15, were poised to step forward when they announced that anyone left who did not intend to use the overhead bin space was now free to board. Huh? This was a new one on us. Now, we applauded this idea in theory, since on Southwest, if you’re not in the first boarding group, your bag isn’t going to make it into the overhead. However, at this point, a lot of people began boarding who had roller bags that clearly weren’t going to fit under the seats. Now, some of them could have been people who qualified for
boarding in the previous 30 categories but inexplicably didn’t. The gate agent wasn’t even checking at this point — just scanning the boarding passes as fast as she could. I looked at Olof with my “What the?” look — and the implied message that we should be doing this, too. We had a fairly short connection to a small commuter flight from a local airfield to a wedding in a remote location in the Pacific Northwest, and having our bags lost even temporarily would mean we would be wearing the same clothes all weekend. But I am married to Honest Abe
Lincoln, Mr. Integrity of this century and last. The look he gave me was “Do not even THINK of getting in that line. I would sooner attend this wedding naked but for down gleaned from native geese than board before being called.” He can be so annoying this way. But finally all the no-binintendeds had seated their sociopathic reprobate selves. Rows one through five were First Class, but with six seats across on the rest of the plane, that still left a theoretical 84 passengers in our totally full aircraft for the yet-to-be-boarded rows six through 19. I looked around. There
were exactly NINE of us left. I was agog to hear what the next category was going to be: People wearing the airline’s logo colors? Still, both Olof and I were fairly impressed that the gate agent could keep straight the list of who was slightly better than whom, a system that seemed more complicated than the IRS tax code. The gate agent eyed our little group and seemed to decide against further categories. She picked up her microphone: “All rows may now slither aboard.” OK, so those might not have been her exact words.

Film lovers turn out for salute to director Gus Van Sant
A
bevvy of Hollywood stars walked the red carpet Thursday night, Sept. 27, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla for the San Diego Film Festival’s tribute to filmmaker Gus Van Sant (“Milk,” “To Die For,” “My Own Private Idaho”). Following a VIP cocktail reception on the museum’s oceanfront patio, attendees gathered in Sherwood Auditorium where San Diego Film Foundation board chairman Dale Strack, actress Diane Ladd (mother of Laura Dern) and Pennie Lane, the inspiration behind the Cameron Crowe film “Almost Famous,” praised Van Sant’s body of work. The audience was then treated to a montage featuring clips from Van Sant’s film catalogue, followed by the premiere of a trailer for his upcoming film, “Promised Land” (Matt Damon, Frances McDormand) and a screening of his 1997 drama, “Good Will Hunting.” Actors Robin Williams and Ben Affleck provided videotaped words of praise for Van Sant, and artist Erik Wahl painted the filmmaker’s portrait live, on stage. The SDFF ran Sept. 26-30 with screenings split between La Jolla and The Gaslamp. Photos by Pat Sherman

T
he La Jolla Library Art Gallery has finally come of age! On Sunday, Sept. 23, its Art Committee reached way down into its pockets and pulled out something extra special for what had to be its best-ever reception. The party celebrated, “Fresh Paint: Impressions of California Plein-Air Artists,” the new exhibit that will run through Nov. 16. Besides having the work of some of the most talented local artists on display, the library art gallery provided wonderful breezy, mellow, and nostalgia music by the Ukulele Brothers — a ukulele band with vocals, guitar, bass and Hawaiian steel guitar that played all-time favorites, like “Tiny Bubbles” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” while patrons chatted about the art. The reception food was a delight, as well, with blackshirted waiters carrying trays of designer pizza for

sampling, along with mini cupcakes, English scones, crackers, fruit and zesty sharp cheeses. The art gallery was packed, wall-to-wall at times, and for most of the afternoon you had to squeeze through pods of rooted-in-place talkative people to get up close to the art or you had to wait in line to view your favorite piece. The fact that were lots of artists on hand to talk to about their work made for some great conversation, which was had by all.
and I especially like Hall’s large painting called ‘Montage Beach.’” Arlene Powers, chair of the Library Art Committee, was very excited about sales of the art, which she said will benefit library programs. “We sold our first piece in the first five minutes!” Powers exclaimed. Patricia Jasper Clark, who is also on the Art Committee, echoed her sentiments: “We have sold several pieces, so you might even see the library open more hours a week after this. We are very
Patty Smith, who has owned the Art Expressions Gallery in Clairemont for the past 30 years, was one of the luminaries who commented, “The show is excellent!

A different program will be presented each evening, consisting of 16-17 highdefinition films, limited to five minutes each. They will be shown on Qualcomm’s state-of-the art, high-definition digital projection system. A panel of three judges selected the best 35 films from among worldwide entries. They were Flip Nicklin, Lee Peterson, and Bonnie Toth — professionals in the fields of diving, photography, and graphic arts.
Programs for both nights are posted at sdufex.com, where you can also view the trailer and buy tickets for $15 per evening. Doors open 30 minutes prior to the show and seating is first-come, first-served. Free parking available at the Qualcomm campus. SDUFEX is a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

‘Milky Way Road, Escondidio’ by Catherine Grawin
‘Jim’s Place’ by Scott Prior
‘Sonoma Grasses’ by Carolyn Hesse-Low
FROM ART, B13 his time fawning over the painting and explaining it to patrons, saying, “That’s the road we like to take up to Julian. There are a lot of old farmhouses along it!” n Carolyn Hesse-Low had a fine old-style painting called, “Sonoma Grasses,” which made you think of the hey day of plein-air, when the likes of Maurice Braun and Alfred Mitchell were painting in our environs. n Pat Kelly, a graduate of the UCSD Visual Arts Department, had the most unique paintings in the show, both of which featured a single clothespin on a clothesline against the backdrop of a blue sky filled with fluffy clouds. n Urban landscape painter, Scott Prior, who lives in Oceanside, had two of the best pieces in the show. One was
a twilight view of the Balboa Island Ferry at Newport Harbor. The other was a scene of some old rusted cars at “Jim’s Place” in Santa Barbara. Diane Ryason, who lives up the street from the library and who recently returned from a tour of the Heritage Art Gallery in St. Petersburg, Russia, where she was able to feast her eyes on more than 30 of the paintings of Rembrandt, also liked Prior best of all. “I like the way he makes the real imaginary and puts feeling into his paintings,” Ryason said. Prior is hard at work painting some of the classic urban landscape scenes from Los Angeles, such as the Hi Voltage Tattoo Shop downtown. n Toni Williams displayed a unique style, with a threedimensional canvas where the oil paints stood out from the
painting, versus the usual flat canvas of most artists. The cultivation of individual style is something that gallery owner Patty Smith counsels all artists need to develop to be great. n Robin Hall, who lives in the community of Capistrano Beach, near Dana Point, had a intriguing large painting of a place called Montage Beach, seen from a high bluff. Hall confessed, “My mother was a painter, so I didn’t want to become one. However, I found myself doing it for fun and over the years it became my addiction.” The La Jolla Library Gallery really bumped it up a notch for this show, which was at a professional level. If it can continue on track with this caliber of shows and receptions, library gallery members are certain to create an “Art Scene” in this neighborhood of La Jolla.

Since 1969 · Heinz Gietz Heinz Gietz Autohaus is a gem in the La Jolla community. Standing in its original location on Virginia Way since 1969, Heinz Gietz Autohaus is one of California’s original Mercedes-Benz Factory Authorized Service Dealers and is the lone service only dealer left of its kind. With an open-air service center and a family atmosphere one can watch their Mercedes-Benz being serviced and receive a genuinely traditional customer appreciation. Originally from Frankfurt, Germany, Heinz Gietz completed his Mercedes-Benz Technician training in 1938. This expertise later provided the opportunity for the young Mr. Gietz to become Lead Technician for Augie Pabst’s (heir of Pabst Blue Ribbon) Gullwing Race Team. While traveling with the Augie, Mr. Gietz visited San Diego and immediately fell in love with La Jolla. He soon thereafter relocated with wife Ilse, daughter, Sonja, and Heinz Gietz Autohaus was born. Now, 43 years later, the business continues to be family owned and operated, Mr. Gietz having passed the reins to daughter, Sonja, and grandson Dieter-Heinz. Heinz Gietz Mercedes-Benz is an Authorized Service Center that offers white glove, family service along with the power and expertise of Mercedes-Benz Factory Trained Technicians and Parts Personnel. Under the Heinz Gietz domain, the company also operates an off-site luxury, exotic, and sports car tuning

‘Good People’ often find few alternatives in times of trouble By Diana Saenger What makes someone a good person? That’s the question explored in “Good People,” by Pulitzer Prizewinner David Lindsay-Abaire, having its San Diego premiere at The Old Globe Theatre through Oct. 28. The play also examines the lengths some people go to just to survive in hard times, and the social and economic diversity that often divides a nation. When the curtain rises, we meet Margie Walsh (Eva Kaminsky), a single mother trying to raise a mentally handicapped daughter. Margie resorts to unusual solutions when seeking help. Actor Kaminsky had no problem getting into her persona. “Each time I work on a new character, I want to know what makes them tick … what’s under their skin,” Kaminsky said. “Margie lives in Boston, is a high-school dropout and has lost her job at the dollar store. She’s left with few alternatives and just wants to find a job to make enough money so she
If you go ■ What: ‘Good People’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings, to Oct. 28 ■ Where: The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, San Diego at Balboa Park ■ Tickets: From $29 ■ Box Office: (619) 234-5623 ■ Web: TheOldGlobe.org and her daughter can survive.” Although a diehard Boston “Southie,” Margie has no other family to rely on, so she contacts her high school boyfriend Mike (R. Ward Duffy), who has left town and is doing fine as a doctor. “‘Good People’ tells two sides of a story incredibly well, and you usually don’t find that,” Kaminsky said. “It goes back and forth and humanizes everyone. You see both sides of Margie, and I love that she has good things and bad things about her.
“It’s really interesting to play a fully flushed-out character like this in a story that is very relevant to what a lot of people are going through today.” Paul Mullins directs “Good People.” Kaminsky said she finds him collaborative, and one of the funniest and smartest directors she’s worked with. “He’s really good at getting to what’s really happening in a scene, and with panache and joy,” she said. In addition to surviving by playing Bingo at the
local church, Margie has talkfests to commiserate with her landlord Dottie (Robin Pearson Rose) and girlfriend Jean (Carol Halstead). But Margie often fails to take their advice. “Still, she’s a fighter, even when things don’t go as planned with Mike,” Kaminsky said. “There’s humor in this script, so much so I was constantly laughing in rehearsals. But there are also some dark things in the story, which is the best kind of the play for me.”
Single-mom Margaret (Eva Kaminsky) rekindles a friendship with Mike (R. Ward Duffy) when there’s no one else to turn to in David Lindsay-Abaire’s ‘Good People.’ Henry DiRocco

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3205 VIA ALICANTE 9, 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 in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed 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, to-wit: $385,104.86 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 11-43613. 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.
