By Ashley Mackin Multiple burglaries have been reported at uninhabited houses undergoing renovations in the Muirlands neighborhood of La Jolla. Three houses were broken into more than once in a short period of time. Each police report to La Jolla Light stated the burglars often stole large amounts of copper or construction tools and the thieves probably had some construction experience. The stolen copper is brought to recycling centers and is worth between 10-cents and $3 a pound, depending on the condition. “Clean copper” is worth more. The earlier of these crimes took place in September, with three break-ins to a property on Avenida Mirola in one month.

By Pat Sherman The Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force gained another victory last week when, at the urging of District 1 San Diego City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, the City Council unanimously voted to support legislation that would give an interested non-profit community group first dibs on purchasing the historic Wall Street post office. Authored by Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-53), the Community Post Office Relocation Act (H.R. 6238) would give La Jolla and other communities across the country threatened with the closure of their historic or beloved post offices a 30day advance notice that the United States Postal Service (USPS) intends to sell their post office. The group could then make a bid to purchase the building before it goes on the general market. The task force also is pursuing a provision that would allow the

USPS would not incur costs associated with a
relocation, creating a “win-win” scenario for the postal service and community. Congresswoman Davis, Lightner and members of the task force met
outside the Wall Street post office Oct. 24 to announce the City Council’s support and discuss the task force’s efforts to date. La Jollans were informed in January that USPS intended to sell the 77-year-old Wall Street building and relocate services to a smaller site, potentially within the Village. Addressing media in front of the post office, Congresswoman Davis said the community’s “hard work to preserve this iconic building has not gone unnoticed in Washington.” Davis said she felt compelled to help after hearing about the community’s concerted effort to save its post office, and the lack of a response from USPS. The congresswoman said she did some investigating and found out there was “no official procedure” for a community to purchase its post office. Through its efforts during the past 10 months, the task force has achieved a string of victories, including Congresswoman Davis’s

UCSD invites families to host international students for Thanksgiving By Ashley Mackin After the success of its inaugural Thanksgiving Exchange last year, UC San Diego is seeking La Jolla families to host international students on Thanksgiving Day. International Center Director Dulce Dorado said familes can host as many students as they like. “It could be as simple as inviting them over for the meal itself ... or it could be for the preparation of the meal, too. Depend-
ing on the family, students could spend a few hours or an entire day,” she said. The students sign up with the International Center if they wish to participate and families interested can do the same. As of press deadline, 50 students are signed up, and 20 families have agreed to host. “(International students) participate in their classes, but what they are really

Petition signatures spike as Cove stink reaches nauseating fever pitch throughout the Village COVE STENCH UPDATE By Pat Sherman An online petition urging city officials and District 1 San Diego City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner to take action against the pervasive, nauseating odor smelled throughout the Village reached more than 800 signatures last weekend. The stench emanating from La Jolla Cove, caused by a buildup of cormorant, pelican and sea lion excrement on rocks and the shoreline is causing tourists and customers to flee the Village, say business owners like Jim Lavi of Daniel Gift on Prospect Street. Lavi said the smell has grown so bad the past three weeks that his customers say they will not return to the Village until the “lousy smell” is under control. “They don’t want to stay,” he said. “We spray air freshener, but it doesn’t help. The merchants, they pay a lot to the city, but we don’t see any action.” Lavi questions why a fire truck can’t be used to pressure wash the rocks. On the travel website tripadvisor.com, a user from Seawall’s Point, Florida recounted her October hotel stay in the Village, noting that she specifically chose a hotel overlooking scenic La Jolla Cove. The “outrageous, noxious odor … would come and go throughout the day and night, and honestly take your breath away,” she
n Read the related editorial, A18 wrote. “If we weren’t so exhausted from traveling we would have left ASAP. … I appreciate that the hotel is not at fault, however, I cannot imagine having to smell that odor ever again.” Signing the petition Oct. 26, La Jollan Joan Schultz called the odor “disgusting.” “We pay more taxes to the city than most communities,” she wrote, addressing the candidates for mayor and City Council District 1. “If you want our vote, this would be a good way for you to show that La Jollans should vote for you.” The petition, started by restaurateur

George Hauer (George’s at the Cove), will be delivered to Councilwoman Sherri Lightner once it reaches 1,000 signatures. It requests that the city address the issue posthaste. Dan Robinette, a senior scientist with Petaluma-based PRBO Conservation Science, is part of a group currently studying La Jolla’s cormorant colony. He said he suspects that the more pungent excrement is coming from sea lions, though he said the smell of the cormorant (bird) excrement could be exacerbated by weather conditions. “The cormorants may be a little more abundant than the others so they’re getting the bulk of the blame,” he said. “Starting around the mid-’90s, we did start seeing an increase of cormorant breeding along the mainland, whereas prior to that there were higher numbers out at the offshore islands.” Though he said there has always been a Brandt’s cormorant colony at La Jolla Cove, it has grown substantially in recent years, likely due to the availability of prey such as small fish, squid and sand crabs. “They seem pretty established from what we can see, so unless there’s some major changes in prey availability in the area, I don’t see them leaving,” Robinette said. “But who knows? … We’re just stating to document population size,” and potential disturbances to the colony by human activity, he said. Robinette said he doesn’t believe there is

However, a study of fecal contamination in the salt marshes of Martha’s Vineyard by University of New Hampshire professor Stephen Jones identified cormorants as a significant source of E. coli bacteria. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, microscopic Cryptococcus neoformans fungal spores are found in the droppings of pigeons and some bird species. They can become airborne and cause lung infections or more serious diseases in those with weakened immune systems. Though the cormorant was once nearly hunted to extinction, they now invade coastal cliffs, devouring fish and covering the coast with offal. Several online bird deterrent providers suggest threatening-looking bird spikes as an effective deterrent, as well as mesh netting and devices that have tentacles that flail in the breeze and cause a threatening, visual distraction.
“Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year and very American, as a tradition, so I think it’s great to share it with others.” Last year, Shaffer took in two students, one from China and one from Korea, and brought them to her church in Solana Beach for their Thanksgiving Potluck.
“Both girls said they had never had any of the foods before; they seemed to like it because both went back for seconds.” Dorado added, “For a lot of students who participate, this is their first time away from home and it’s a great way to share cultural experiences.” To participate, visit iprograms.ucsd.edu

$30K still needed for Christmas parade The 55th annual La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival is just around the corner, featuring equestrian teams, floats, scout troops and marching bands, 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 2 on Girard Avenue in the Village. Registration for this year’s parade closes tomorrow, Nov. 2 at (858) 775-3210. The magical tradition, organized and run by volunteers, attracts more than 20,000 viewers and participants — and is funded entirely through community sponsorships and donations. This year’s theme is “Christmas in the Village.” Diana and Francois Goedhuys of Girard Gourmet will be honored as Grand Marshals, in recognition of their numerous contributions
FROM post office, A1 legislation, which has bipartisan support from Congressmen Bob Filner (D-51) and Brian Bilbray (R-50). Based largely on the La Jolla task force’s efforts, the Wall Street post office — and other threatened historic post offices like it across the nation — were added to the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s list of 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Though the task force has successfully bought itself time and prevented the post office from being sold, to date it has received few answers from USPS about the quasigovernmental agency’s plans or intentions. “E-mail isn’t killing the post office, politics is — and politics can save it,” said task force chair Leslie Davis (no relation to the congresswoman), during last week’s event. Asked this month whether USPS still intends to sell the Wall Street property and relocate its services — or whether it has even identified a suitable new site for the services — USPS’s West Coast regional property manager, Diana Alvarado, provided the task force with no new information, Leslie Davis said. Earlier this year the task force submitted a nomination packet to USPS Federal Preservation Officer Dallan Wordekemper, requesting the Wall Street post office be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The designation was earlier endorsed by the California State Office of Historic Preservation. As the owner of the building, USPS has the final say as to whether the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places will consider the post office for inclusion. Leslie Davis said Wordekemper agreed that the post office “seems to be historic,” though he doesn’t believe it needs to be included on the national register. “We disagree, because that would give it some additional protection,” Leslie Davis said. “The task force wrote back (in July) and said, ‘Within your Section 106 process you actually need to tell us why you think it is historic, and also why you believe it doesn’t need to be designated’.” Wordekemper has not since replied to the task force’s queries. Moving forward, the task force is banking on Congresswoman Davis’s bill to solidify its effort to have a nonprofit such as the La Jolla Historical Society purchase the building. The bill is currently before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which is chaired by Congressman Darrell Issa (R-49). Last year, Issa crafted his own legislation,
to the community. The lack of county and other usual parade funding has made donating to this year’s event crucial, organizers say. It costs about $55,000 to produce the event each year, and an additional $30,000 is still needed to help with equipment rental, police security and insurance. n Tax-deductible donations can be made by sending a check, payable to the nonprofit La Jolla Town Council Parade Foundation, to: 7734 Herschel Ave., Suite F, La Jolla CA 92037 n To make an online donation, visit ljparade.com or contact parade chair Ann Kerr Bache at akbsma@me.com or (858) 775-3210.
the Postal Reform Act of 2011 (H.R. 2309), which focuses on cost-cutting measures aimed at making USPS solvent, including a reduction in delivery by one day and the formation of a committee to focus on post office closures and the reduction of administrative overhead. In August, the task force organized a letterwriting campaign, which resulted in more than 200 letters being sent to Issa in support of Congresswoman Davis’s legislation. Issa responded with a form letter, stating that it is already legal for a nonprofit community group to purchase its post office. The task force is uncertain whether Issa and his committee members favor key elements of Davis’s legislation, such as the provision giving communities a 30-day advance opportunity to purchase their post office before it is offered to the general public. Ali Ahmad, a spokesman for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, characterized Davis’s and Issa’s legislation as two “fairly divergent bills.” Though Davis’s bill has not been scheduled for review, Ahmad said, “Chairman Issa is supportive of the group’s efforts to purchase the historic La Jolla post office, via a negotiated sale.” Ahmad said the committee is still considering whether the 30-day lead time for community groups would have “any unintended consequences,” and is considering “technical issues related to disposal of federal property, ensuring that the language does not force the Postal Service to dispose of property … to an entity that could not actually take hold of the property. In the event that USPS does sell the building to a community group, the task force hopes to ensure that its historic facade and WPA-era, interior mural are preserved through an easement that restricts the new owner from altering these historic elements. However, as San Diego-based Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO) has learned through experience, it takes money to hire an attorney to enforce the easement, which can run $15,000-$20,000 per year, Leslie Davis said. Both the City of San Diego and SOHO have said they do not have resources to enforce the easement. Should the building be sold to a developer or party other than a sympathetic community group, the task force hopes to obtain an endowment from USPS to maintain the easement. Task force members are currently drafting language related to the easement and endowment, which will be sent to USPS attorneys in the near future.

FROM THIEVES, A1 said approximately $50,000 worth of copper was stolen in total. “They literally cut [out] all the copper plumbing and pulled all the electrical wires out — all three times.” Since then, as many as 10 other burglaries occurred at other properties, including the home of Tresha and Dan Souza, currently under renovation, which was burglarized twice in two weeks. While the Souzas don’t remember the exact date, they said it was approximately three weeks ago that the first incident took place. During the first robbery, the window was pried open and a few power tools were stolen. During the second incident, one week later (and after the window had been repaired), the burglars returned and stole copper from the garage. Dan Souza said the burglars popped the window out of its frame, as they did in the first incident, and went down to the garage where copper piping and pieces from the former house structure was piled high. There, based on the pile of shavings from the exterior of the piping, Souza said they scraped the exterior of the copper, which would have taken five hours. Several other valuable items were not taken, prompting Tresha Souza to conclude, “What they came for, they got.” A new chainsaw was also stolen, and Dan Souza said he thinks the burglars took it to make it look as though they were workers on the property. The Souzas said they believe the burglars have construction-trade knowledge because, given the stage of the home remodel, they knew when the copper would be most

accessible. The Souzas have since installed video cameras and alarms to protect their property. Soon after the second Souza incident, Natascha Vossen’s home was burglarized. Vossen said her property, on the corner of Nautilus and Muirlands Vista Way, was broken into and copper, a bucket of tools and a fax machine with its cords were stolen. Contractor Dave Remington said the copper he uses for plumbing, electrical wires and waterproofing the roof, went missing
two weeks ago. “They took all the copper that wasn’t nailed down,” Remington said. Soon after, they went for what was nailed down. In a second incident, there were signs that burglars tried to remove the copper door pan, but were unsuccessful. Several days later, they returned with tools, and removed the door pans and several panels from the roof. Remington estimates $4,000 worth of copper was stolen in total. “As soon as they see copper going on the roof, they know
there’s probably some stored on site. As soon as the doors start going on, they know there is probably a toolbox with tools in it around,” Remington said. He also said he “fully” believes it is the same two to four people burglarizing all the properties in the area and that they have knowledge of the construction industry. He speculated on their modus operandi, “It would be easy for them to find a cop and follow him with a cell phone while the guys are breaking in … If you just have a guy tailing the cop around … you know you’re safe and you’ve got all day unless the neighborhood tries to catch them.” Vossen said she wants the neighbors to keep an eye out, and has been in contact with police hoping for additional patrol. “I’ve talked to the head detective … the police are empathic, but basically they can’t do anything,” she said. San Diego Police Detective Michael Breckenridge, who is assigned to the case, said the Police Department does not have the resources to put additional patrol in that neighborhood. Its Northern Division includes La Jolla, as well as University City, Pacific Beach, North Clairemont and Torrey Pines. He said La Jolla, in comparison, is generally quieter and has a “lower volume of calls to service” than the other areas they cover. He also said copper theft at construction sites is common because perpetrators are hard to track down due to the volume of copper that gets recycled daily. Vossen said, given the lack of options, she might try to start a Neighborhood Watch program to catch the perpetrators.

When it comes to home remodeling projects, it’s what’s on the outside that counts.... or at least what recoups the most value. According to the newly released 2011-12 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report, inexpensive replacement projects are expected to regain close to 70 per cent of the investment. The data is consistent with reports from previous years that revealed specific exterior projects like window and door replacements that enhance curb appeal and are attractive to the potential buyers. In fact , seven out of the top 10 most cost -effective projects are exterior improvements, You can find Cost vs Values reports on Internet sites. You can even pinpoint California for specific percentages for recouping remodeling costs in our state. A recent click showed that new entry doors in California on the average recoup 102% and new garage doors 83% of the cost. Whereas a major kitchen remodel only recouped 68.7% of the cost on that particular chart. Of course many upgrades are done for the benefit and enjoyment of the owner, but it is interesting to view what catches a buyer’s eye when you are ready to sell.

San Diego Lifeguard Marc Brown wins Medal of Valor By Ashley Mackin San Diego Lifeguard II Marc Brown received the Medal of Valor, the highest national award for lifesaving, on Oct. 23. A member of the Boating Safety Unit, his patrol spans from Point Loma to Torrey Pines State Beach. District 1 Councilmember Sherri Lightner said of the award, “Our lifeguards put their lives at risk every day. Marc Brown is no different, and it is great to see him recognized for the amazing job he did and continues to do. Our lifeguards protect and serve us and that’s why we need to do all we can to recognize and support them.” The Medal of Valor has only been awarded to 40 lifeguards since its authorization in 1987. “It wasn’t something I was thinking that I was going to get for this type of rescue. It’s much appreciated … it’s been a great honor to receive such an award,” Brown said. The award was given for a rescue on Nov. 20, 2011 near the Tijuana River Valley at the Mexico border. A person attempting to cross the border into the United States during heavy rainfall via a drainpipe, known as the “Gorilla Cage,” got stuck. The victim was approximately 12 feet down in the pipe on a narrow cement ledge
Lifeguard II Marc Brown receives the national Medal of Valor on Oct. 23. with bolts sticking up and water and debris falling on them. The Border Patrol officer on the scene said if the victim had fallen from the ledge, it would have been a body rescue. Brown volunteered to conduct the rescue and was lowered into the pipe through a twofoot opening. He saved the victim. The Heroic Acts Nomination Form listing his accomplishment

read, “Marc Brown took great risk and courage to volunteer to be the rescuer. He was able to remain calm, focused and very timely in his actions inside the Gorilla Cage. The area was difficult to access. The water was not only flowing over [him] and rising in the pipe, it is considered hazardous, contaminated and is full of debris, trash, etc ... Marc did not panic as
the flow grew, and when he was told that he had very little time, he stayed [on] task and performed a tremendous act of bravery.” Brown said his first rescue as a permanent lifeguard was while he was working at La Jolla Shores. In 1998, he rescued some surfers in distress off Del Mar. “The Del Mar lifeguards had an inflatable rescue boat that was coming in about 20
minutes, but we weren’t going to wait 20 minutes for a boat to come in and rescue these guys, so I proceeded to paddle out with the rescue board and rescue them,” Brown said. “It was one of the bigger rescues I’ve done prior to this Gorilla Cage rescue … it gave me a little taste in my mouth as to what lifeguarding is all about.”

Scripps researchers enlist the curious in fish-tagging project By Will Bowen On Oct. 1, the temperature soared to over 100-degrees in San Diego’s inland areas, but out on the water, a sportfishing boat was angling in the La Jolla kelp beds where the weather was delightfully cool with a bit of fog and wind, just off our rocky coast. Fifteen volunteer fishermen huddled in the boat’s stern casting out anchovies or dropping bits of squid strips to the bottom, hoping to hook-up an elusive calico bass — a local and abundant species that roams our kelp beds and rocky reefs. Standing on the large bait tank, where thousands of live anchovies and sardines swam in endless circles, was quest skipper Ken Frankie, president of the San Diego Sport Fishing Association, who barked out advice and encouragement to the anglers on the deck below him. Wearing a large straw hat, Lyall Bellquist, a fourth-year Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) graduate student, stood ready to check fish in, armed with his measuring ruler and fish-tagging gun filled with tiny white labels, each with an identification number and a phone number to call if the fish was ever re-caught. Bellquist came up with the idea of tagging local species of bass — calico bass, barred
Lyall Bellquist and Dr. Brice Semmons sand bass, and spotted bay bass — so residents could follow their growth and movement patterns and learn about the status and health of their populations. The Collaborative Fisheries Research West (CFRW), a non-profit organization based in Santa Cruz, believed in his research enough to give him a two-year $240,000 grant to fund his project. Bellquist works under the supervision of principle investigator Dr. Brice Semmons, an ecologist who develops quantitative tools useful in creating models of fish populations. Also involved in the project are Erica Jarvis of The California Department of Fish & Game, as well as Dave Rudie and John

or e-mail Lyall Bellquist at lbellqui@ucsd.edu Valencia of the San Diego Oceans Foundation. “This project is important because we need to know more about the local bass populations, which are the kingpin of our recreational fisheries,” Bellquist said. “Bass are also an indicator species of the health of the local aquatic environments where they reside.” Dr. Semmons added, “The community of La Jolla, especially fishermen, divers, naturalists, and water-sports enthusiasts, all value and love the local kelp forest.

This research will help us better understand how to keep that habitat intact and sustainable for the future. We want our grandchildren to be able to enjoy the coast, kelp beds, and fisheries as much as we do.” Bellquist is a San Diego native and graduate of Torrey Pines High School. He earned a B.A. in aquatic biology from UC Santa Barbara and an M.A. from Cal State Long Beach, where he tagged fish at Catalina Island. He also worked for two years on the White Sea
Bass Project at the HubbsSeaworld Institute. Semmons is from Minnesota. His father was also a professor. Semmons said he was first exposed to fishing when his dad took him shark fishing in the Florida Keys during the off-season. Semmons did his undergraduate work at Lawrence University and earned his Ph.D. from Texas A&M University. Bellquist is adamant that public outreach, education and involvement be an integral part of the tagging project. “We want people to know about it and be involved. We have had two public fishing charters already, where private individuals were invited along free of charge, and we have tagged over 300 calico bass.
Photos by Will Bowen
“We are planning to have many more fishing charters where interested people can contribute to the research. If anyone catches one of our tagged bass and calls in the information, he or she will be entered in a monthly drawing for a $200 gas card.” Semmons said this project offers a new and different, more inclusive, approach to fisheries management. “What’s unique about it is that we’re bringing the fishermen, the sport fishing industry and the scientists together to work collectively and harmoniously for good.” Bellquist is also optimistic. “This project is the doorway for a new type of cooperative long-term research on all of our different species of fish,” he said.

Traffic board clears the way for La Jolla Christmas parade, restaurant’s valet parking By Ashley Mackin The La Jolla Traffic and Transportation Board (T&T) voted to approve two agenda items at its Oct. 25 meeting. The first, approval for the La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival, and the street closures therein, was granted 7-0. Since there were neither changes nor complaints from last year, there was little discussion before the board voted. The second item was Amaya Restaurant’s request for a valet parking permit through Grand Parking. The restaurant will be located at 7979 Ivanhoe with two valet spaces designated directly in front of the building. Representatives from Grand Parking fielded questions from the community and the board. Their proposal includes a 40-foot passenger-loading zone to be used for valet parking only from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. The spots would be open to the public as twohour spaces before 6 p.m. Listeners raised several concerns, including alternative places for passenger loading and accountability. Though alternative places to park for valet were suggested, representatives from Grand
Parking insisted they wanted the spaces to be directly in front of the business. Additionally, the necessary parking spot calculations raised concerns, as the restaurateurs used the equation required for a retail space. Whether a restaurant counts as retail space was debated, but determined not to be an issue for the T&T Board. The behavior of the valet drivers also came under question, with attendees wondering if they would drive too fast down the street. Board chair Tom Lesser suggested contacting the restaurant directly if that became a problem, or contacting Councilmember Sherri Lightner’s office so it could be documented for consideration when the permits came up for renewal. A motion was made to approve the project on the condition Grand Parking supply the committee with a renewal application and that signage be clear that public parking is allowed until 6 p.m., after which time it becomes valet. The vote was 3-3-1 and the issue moves on to the Community Planning Association. The T&T Board meets at 4 p.m. on the fourth Thursdays at La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St.
Break dancing sensation comes to La Jolla as part of yoga class By Ashley Mackin Arthur Cadre, the 21-yearold break-dancer featured in the YouTube sensation “Break Ton Neck,” is adding something special to the Your Buddhi yoga party 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10. After the all-level vinyassa yoga class, to be held at a private residence on La Jolla Farms, Cadre will perform. The French dancer is living in Montreal. “I am really excited to come to La Jolla since it will be the first time I am coming to California for a performance. I really enjoy the United States and I’m dying to visit the Salk Institute of Louis Kahn, whom I admire very much,” he said. Of his dance stylings, Cadre said, “I like to create my own moves. I like to mix flexibility with power and dance. I practice a new kind of dance, which is more like circus style.” His performance includes repeated instances of standing on his hands, standing on one hand and legs bending in unbelievable directions. These moves are similar to what is taught in vinyassa yoga, so his participation seemed a natural idea.
A screen shot from Arthur Cadre’s break-dancing video ‘Break Ton Neck’ on YouTube where he shows off his skills. “The reason we invited him is there’s a lot of similarities to the way trains and the things he has to do to be able to do some of those movements (to yoga); a lot of concentration, a lot of practice, dedication, strength and flexibility,” said Carolina Vivas, cofounder of Your Buddhi. After seeing the video online, Vivas reached out to Cadre on Facebook and offered to fly him from Montreal to San Diego. The class will include a toneddown version of some of the postures seen in the video. At the event, Vivas and her partner will teach a yoga class outside a private

Celebrating National Hospice Month
Free Community Workshop
Each day of life is as precious as the first. Yet, few of us plan for end-oflife, for loved ones or for ourselves. As the oldest, largest and most recognized hospice provider in the region, San Diego Hospice and The Institute for Palliative Medicine is here to help. In recognition of National Hospice Month this November, we invite you to learn about our unique balance of expert pain management and compassionate care that can truly make a positive difference. The mission of San Diego Hospice is to promote quality of life, at every stage of life, for as long as life lasts. We do this through palliative care, the art and science of providing comfort both physically and psychologically. Most patients receive our care at home, but we can also provide services at a skilled nursing facility, a residential care facility, or anywhere a patient calls home. Our goal is to help patients live each day to the fullest. Isn’t that what you want for your loved one?
Hospice care: myth or truth? Myth: You can’t keep your own doctor. Truth: Our hospice physicians will work with the patient’s physician to determine the best care plan. Myth: Hospice is expensive. Truth: Hospice is cost-effective. That’s why Medicare, Medi-Cal and most private health plans have a hospice benefit. To find out more about hospice, we invite you to visit sdhospice.org/ hospice-month and encourage you to attend these special events.
Family members, caregivers or anyone impacted by serious illness will learn how to ensure that healthcare wishes are met, especially when one is unable to advocate for themselves. Medical and legal experts will provide free insight to help guide healthcare decisions. Workshop: Saturday, Nov. 17, 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon, Keck Conference Center on our Hillcrest campus. RSVP by Nov. 15 at info@sdhospice.org or call (619) 278-6141. Free Tours of California’s only Hospice Hospital
Learn about hospice with a scenic tour of our world-class San Diego Hospice Inpatient Care Center at 4311 Third Ave, San Diego, CA 92103.

SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL BUSINESSES Hair-free, carefree: That’s the Brazilia skin care way By Marti Gacioch Whether it’s a custom eyebrow shaping, a bikini-ready Brazilian waxing, or a specialized skin peel or facial, Brazilia keeps its male and female clients blissfully smooth. Family-owned and operated by founder Excelda Imerman and her two daughters, Gia and Ashton, Brazilia has three North County locations. As a single mother with two young daughters to raise 20 years ago, Imerman learned the art of waxing in six months, rented a room in a local salon, and began working solo. Through sheer diligence, determination and a strong work ethic, she worked 14-16 hours a day and literally built her skincare empire on a mountain of wax. (She orders $5,000 of wax each month!) After opening her first shop near UCSD, it wasn’t long before she began hiring employees. She grew her business quickly, opening shops in UTC mall and Del Mar before debuting her new Girard location last week. Imerman now has 45 employees, including 22 estheticians. Brazilia services 100-150 clients per day. Services cover the gamut of high-end skin and beauty care. Well-known for custom eyebrow shaping (via waxing or threading

‘Sharks and You’ lecture clears-up murky rumors By Ashley Mackin Since surfing is one of the most popular activities in La Jolla, those who ride the waves at our beaches have heard the warnings about sharks. And it’s not just surfers who may fear an encounter. Many kayakers and paddleboarders have heard the theory that, to a shark, they look like seals or whales, a Great White’s favorite snack. To assuage concerns, shark expert Ralph Collier set out to educate attendees at the “Sharks and You” lecture on Sept. 27, held in the former Neuroscience Institute Auditorium at 10640 John J. Hopkins Drive. “From time to time, sharks and humans come together,” Collier told the crowd of approximately 100. “Sometimes it’s just by a bump on a surfboard, sometimes a shark will swim by and look you over — divers call it ‘being checked out’ — and some other times it’s not so lucky.” He said sharks will investigate humans, surfboards, kayaks and boats using sight, smell and electronic currents. After that, if the shark cannot determine what it is, it takes
When a shark is exploring, it sometimes take a bite to determine what an object is, as shown in these surfboards.

[and] grey whales don’t scoot across the top of the water … so when a shark bites a kayak, he’s biting because he doesn’t have the slightest idea what it is,” Collier said. There are three different types of “attacks,” Collier explained. Predatory, when the shark is hunting; displacement, when they feel attacked and go on the
defense; and investigative, when they are exploring. Collier said in a separate interview with the La Jolla Light that many encounters with sharks involve no physical contact, and is the shark being inquisitive, not predatory. Also addressed at the lecture was the childhood rumor that sharks can smell a drop of blood from miles away; apparently, they can sense more than that.
Collier said sharks detect concentrations of one in 2030 million parts of water. “Sharks have often been referred to as a ‘swimming nose’ ” he said. This is because water is constantly flowing through a sharks’ nose, providing fresh concentrations all the time. Collier used the analogy of walking into a house that smells like garlic. When you first walk in, it’s a strong smell, but after a few minutes, you’re used to it. Sharks don’t have that in the open ocean, so they move around in the water to see where scents are stronger and weaker. “That’s what sharks use when they hunt,”
SHARK RESEARCH INSTITUTE
he said. He explained that near the shark’s nose are Ampullae of Lorenzini, electro-receptors all sharks have. While some are more sensitive than others, most sharks have the ability to detect currents at five one-trillionths of a volt. “That’s the equivalent of me standing in New York City and you standing in Los Angeles, taking a little flashlight, turning it on — and assuming there are no mountains — I would be able to see it,” Collier said. Sharks use these sensors to detect muscle movement and heartbeats. “They are extremely sensitive,” Collier said. Hence why it’s
suggested that you punch a shark in the nose if attacked. Despite the notion of sharks being killing machines, Collier said sharks have cognitive ability, memory, and the ability to learn. He discussed past experiments in which sharks received training, which they remembered months later. Collier’s research determined that Great White sharks are involved in many of the recorded attacks on humans. Seemingly common knowledge now, Collier’s research came 12 years before the movie “Jaws” was released.

Election Job No. 1: Clean the Cove stench Our View
I
t’s a month shy of a year, since La Jolla Light first published reports of community concerns about the noxious odors hovering over the Cove and the Village, caused by the unforgiving, unrelenting sea lion and cormorant excrement on the cliffs along the shore. Almost one year has passed (some say the situation is nearing a crisis state) and nothing has been done about it. We’ve watched and listened at meeting after meeting as frustrated merchants, well-meaning community groups, and politicians running for office in next Tuesday’s election put forth solutions and then face roadblocks to the solutions ... while the smelly scourge remains. Meanwhile, we’ve gotten reports of visitors dissing their trips to La Jolla on travel websites, the faint of heart vomiting at seaside dining tables, and residents driving elsewhere to shop, eat and stroll for exercise. Quite a flaw in the ol’ Jewel by the Sea. Proposals are on the table to 1) clean the cliffs as needed with a biodegradable solution (funding and cleanup crew are on standby), 2) power wash the cliffs with ocean
water itself, 3) strategically place giant fans to blow the stench away from the Village and 4) attempt to reduce the (growing) sea lion and cormorant colonies. City officials and commission chiefs have reasons why each proposal is unfeasible and any option would require permits and review by the Coastal Commission

Last evening I read an article published by the La Jolla Light concerning the downfall of a ficus tree at the Top of the Cove remodel project on Prospect Street. After reading it, I was motivated to speak out in support of the local business community and to offer some points not considered in that article. At the outset, let me state for the record that I am far from a building code expert and am not able to comment about the regulations in place that could protect the tree. While it sure seems that a case could be made that the rules do not protect this tree, without answering this point, the benefits this project could have on our local economy far outweigh those offered by the ficus tree supporters in this article. The Top of the Cove project will turn an eyesore into a state of the art new La Jolla business. If the space becomes a new exciting restaurant on Prospect, this will give La Jolla another shot in the arm. I can’t imagine that there is anything more beneficial to a community than adding another signature restaurant that will promote itself and the community as it attempts to gain a following. The Top of the Cove as it stands now has been vacant and for how long … 5 years? For all these years, we’ve been left with a constant dreary reminder right in the center of Prospect of the difficult economic times. To replace this with anything, let alone a brand spanking new

Marengo Morton and Hill Construction live locally and support local La Jolla businesses. How often do we see 949 or 760 area codes printed on the construction banners that hang in front of commercial construction projects here in town? The fact that locals were hired is fantastic. I commend the owners for engaging local businesses for their remodel and for the betterment of La Jolla and the merchants, we should encourage others to hire local. As I stated, I am not an expert on the building codes and regulations and thus can’t discern myself whether the proper channels were followed or not. But based on what I know about La Jolla, this project could have a tremendous impact on the local business community. And in my opinion, improving our local La Jolla economy through this project outweighs the interests of this particular ficus. Scott F. Levin, Esq. La Jolla

Assuming that the proposal for La Jolla to break away from the City of San Diego makes it to the ballot, I did suggest that to gain support from San Diego voters one strategy might be to “sweeten the pot;” however, I did not suggest nor would I suggest that we tap wealthy donors to do that. Keep in mind that secession requires “alimony” be paid so there is no fiscal impact on the City of San Diego; “alimony” would be funded from the new city’s net fiscal revenue; and, the amount and the payment schedule of that “alimony” would be set prior to the question being put on the ballot. I simply offered a strategy that the city-funded “alimony” be increased over the minimum required as a bargaining chip. I hope others will weigh in with their ideas. Joe LaCava Bird Rock

Prosecutor: Gang member fatally shot former La Jolla High student
A
gang member shot a college student to death after luring him to a latenight robbery in Paradise Hills by advertising a $600 MacBook Pro computer for sale on craigslist.org, a prosecutor alleged Monday, Oct. 29. Rashon Abernathy, 18, is charged along with Seandell Jones, 19, and Shaquille Jordan, 18, in the May 11, 2011, robbery and murder of 18-year-old Garrett Berki, a 2010 graduate of La Jolla High School. Deputy District Attorney Kristian Trocha told jurors that Abernathy used fake names to advertise the computers on Craigslist, inviting the victims to meet him in areas several blocks from his home. Once they arrived, Abernathy would act nervous and tell them he’d Garrett Berki been robbed before, saying, “Let me see the money,’’ Trocha said in his opening statement. The prosecutor said Berki went to Paradise Hills about 10 p.m. with his girlfriend to buy the Apple computer. Abernathy — wearing a black backpack with what looked like a computer inside — wanted to see the money but Berki wanted to see the computer, Trocha said. Berki’s girlfriend had begun to count out the money when Jones pointed a gun at the
Oct. 23
CRIME REPORT couple saying, “Let him (Abernathy) count it,’’ according to Trocha. The defendants grabbed the money and the victims’ cell phones and got into a stolen car driven by Jordan, the prosecutor said. Berki and his girlfriend were headed to report the theft when he spotted the defendants’ car and gave chase on state Route 54, Trocha said. The cars exited the freeway several miles away and ended up front-to-front in a cul-de-sac. Abernathy allegedly fired one shot through the windshield of the victims’ car, striking Berki in the shoulder. He died about 45 minutes later. After the shooting, laughter was heard from the defendants’ car and someone said “What’s up now, bitches,” according to Trocha. Jordan drove off but crashed the car in a nearby cul-de-sac and the defendants ran, only to be arrested a short time later, Trocha said. A .45-caliber semiautomatic weapon matching the gun used in the shooting was found buried in the dirt a couple days after the killing, Trocha said. Abernathy faces up to 60 years to life in prison if convicted. Jordan and Jones could get 50 years to life. — City News Service

Supercomputer to become metabolomics data hub
Murals will never replace art museums, galleries This letter is to clarify several quotes that Ashley Mackin referenced in her article about Mural No. 7 in the Oct. 25 issue of La Jolla Light. The murals are attached to the building using a floating steel frame that floats above the surface of the building approximately 4 inches. The material attached to the frame is “Miroflex,” which is a type of cloth that images can be directly printed on. The original plan was to install sculptures throughout La Jolla, but after careful investigation, the art committee decided against this plan. The two main reasons were the cost of maintaining the sculptures, and the fact that it was required we obtain proper permitting through the City of San Diego. This was required because the sculptures would be located on public property. As mentioned in the article, the more practical solution was to install murals on privately owed buildings in La Jolla. The mural project has been extremely successful, but it will never replace museums or any other public art institutions. I feel this project accomplishes two very important issues in the public art arena: It creates conversation among anyone that visits the murals and provides the catalyst to visit other areas of San Diego that display public and private art; those areas would include, but not be limited to, museums, art galleries, Stuart Collection at UCSD and the Athenaeum in La Jolla.

Research Report By LynnE Friedmann
T
he San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego, will house the data repository for a new project funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) aimed at accelerating the study of metabolomics, an emerging biomedical research field that could help more clearly define the mechanisms underlying diseases. Metabolomics studies small molecules called metabolites produced or consumed in the chemical reactions that take place in the body to sustain life. The sum of all metabolites at any given moment — the “metabolome” — is a form of chemical readout of the health of the cell or body. One of the expected outcomes of the NIH project is the ability to “metabo-type”
individuals to get a detailed picture of their current metabolite profile, and recognize problems, such as insulin resistance. Effects of interventions, such as changes in diet and exercise as well as pharmaceuticals, could then be seen in updated metabotype readings. SDSC joins other UCSD research units and organizations, which were awarded $6 million over five years out of a larger NIH metabolome program investment. Through the SDSC data repository, bioengineers and other researchers will organize and present all data from three metabolome core centers across the country, as well as other metabolomics efforts. The data repository will serve as a national data hub so that the awardees can function as a consortium. — News release at http://bit.ly/ QnQ7pL Magma produces unique ‘Sombrero Uplift’ At the border of Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile sits the Altiplano-Puna plateau in the central Andes region, home to the largest active magma body
in Earth’s continental crust and an area known for a long history of massive volcanic eruptions. A study by Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Alberta Geological Survey has revealed that magma is pushing up the Earth’s surface across an area 100 kilometers (62 miles) wide. It’s a subtle motion, pushing up little by little every day, but it’s this persistence that makes this uplift unusual: Other magma bodies show episodes of inflation and deflation. As the magma rises, the surrounding area sinks, leading to a unique geological phenomenon that the researchers have dubbed the “sombrero uplift.” Since the magma motion takes place at a great depth and at a fairly slow rate — raising the Earth’s surface about a centimeter per year or roughly the rate fingernails grow — there is no immediate danger of a volcanic outpouring. — Findings appear in the journal Science. News release at http://bit.ly/UUsMg2 How deadly virus silences immune system Scientists at The Scripps
Research Institute (TSRI) have determined the structure of a protein (called VP35) from the Marburg virus blocks action of the human immune system, allowing the virus to grow unchecked. The immune system is designed to recognize certain hallmarks of virus infection and launch an immediate antiviral defense. In the case of Marburg, that hallmark is double-stranded RNA that results from its replication inside cells. But the VP35 protein binds to this RNA and hides it. Thus, an immune system alarm is never sounded. This helps explain why the Marburg virus, and its cousin Ebola, are so deadly. For example, recent Marburg virus outbreaks, in Angola, killed upwards of 88 percent of those infected. The virus has since been imported into the United States (Colorado) and the Netherlands by tourists who had visited Africa. — The findings appear in the journal PLoS Pathogens.

Country Day Torreys mark homecoming by defeating Bishop’s Knights, 51-34 By Michael Ragovin According to Coach Jeff Hutzler of La Jolla Country Day, “No game matters as much as the Country DayBishop’s game.” Based on the level of participation by players, coaches and parents on Oct. 26, this was definitely
the game of the year for both teams, as well as homecoming for the Torreys. It was an exciting, big play football game that was a lot of fun to watch. The scoring began on the opening play as The Bishop’s School kicked off and Sage Burmeister scored on a 99yard touchdown return for La Jolla Country Day School. Burmeister had an outstanding game rushing for touchdowns of 18 yards, 13 yards, 50 yards and 79 yards totaling 242 yards for the evening. Bishop’s came right back
and scored on a 19-yard pass from Michael Hinkley to Bulla Graft. The extra point failed, making the score Torreys 7, Bishop’s 6. Country Day then scored three unanswered touchdowns: Jimmy Prosser on a 2-yard run, Sage Burmeister on an 18-yard run and Nate Michalski on a 27-yard run with a fumble. Country Day next recorded a safety to bring the first quarter scoring to a close with the Torreys 30, Bishop’s 6.

M
oney raised for the 2012 Tour de Cove on Oct. 21 will help the Challenged Athletes Foundation provide funding directly to physically challenged individuals for the acquisition of adaptive sports equipment, such as sports prosthetics, racing and basketball wheelchairs, handcycles, and mono-skis. Additionally, it will help subsidize competition and training expenses, produce mentoring and fitness clinics, and offer community outreach programs. The Tour de Cove was part of the Challenged Athletes Foundation’s 19th annual Aspen Medical Products San Diego Triathlon Challenge. The unique event boasted an all new “challenge distance” triathlon course consisting of a 1-mile swim, 44-mile bike and 10-mile run on one of the most breathtaking courses in the country. Tom Atwell, 46, of La Jolla had the best time in the Individual Open, Men’s division in the Triathlon Challenge with a time of 4:21:53 after competing in swimming, biking and running. In the Individual Open, Women’s division, two La Jollans finished with the third and fourth best times: Jodi Murray, 34, was third with a finishing time of 4:37:51. In fourth place was Marty Andrerson, 45, in 4:37:51. Oct. 21 marked the “best day” so far in this triathlon’s history as more than 750 participants (200 of which were -year physically challenged athletes) gathered at La Jolla Cove. This year’s event raised more than $1.2 million for CAF. Learn more at challengedathletes.org n See more photos at lajollalight.com

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

Des McAnuff returns for rock extravaganza premiering at Playhouse
Let Them Eat Macaroons! Queen of sweets brings French treats to La Jolla By Ashley Mackin a Reine des Macarons (The Queen of Macaroons), has begun selling her homemade French macaroons to La Jollans via her catering company. La reine, aka Grace Abdo, seems to have found a niche in the dessert world. “Most places are not going to serve macaroons because they are so expensive to make,” Abdo said. “[They are] not using regular flour and eggs … to make them really gourmet, the way they should be, it costs a lot of Grace Abdo, owner of La Reine des Macarons money and you need to have someone really train you to do it … and it takes hours. It’s not the favorite as far as value if you’re counting pennies.” SEE MACAROONS, B7
L Des McAnuff rehearses the cast for La Jolla Playhouse’s world-premiere of ‘Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots,’ story by Wayne Coyne and Des McAnuff. sandy Huffaker By Diana Saenger t won’t be the first time the theater world embraces a rock band for a production, but La Jolla Playhouse’s world-premiere of “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots,” with the music of The Flaming Lips, promises to be the most interesting. The Playhouse and San Diego theater fans welcome back former Playhouse Director Emeritus Des McAnuff, who is directing the musical, the idea for which was “born” in 2005, during McAnuff’s last year as Artistic Director. “I was aware of the album and listening to it during those months,” McAnuff said. “I spoke with Chris Ashley about it then, but only got serious about it two years ago, and he was very enthusiastic about it.” McAnuff was not only very attuned to the music of The Flaming Lips, but the band performed “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” at the opening of “Jersey Boys” on Broadway in 2005. Eventually, The Lips’ Wayne Coyne approached McAnuff to imagine it as a theatrical piece. “I played it in the car several times and gradually got some notions about it,” McAnuff said. “I met with them and Wayne, and I bounced a lot of ideas around; it was an eccentric process. I extracted story ideas and themes from three of their albums — ‘Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots,’ ‘The Soft Bulletin,’ and ‘At War with the Mystics.’ Wayne gave me feedback and his blessing. He’s a terrific songwriter, a very theatrical artist, and he responded to this in a positive way.” The story of acceptance, love, optimism and conformity centers on Yoshimi (Kimiko Glenn), a young Japanese artist fighting for her life who needs exceptional power and help.

The Gillispie School marks 60 years on Girard Avenue By Pat Sherman here is perhaps no better metaphor for what transpires within the halls and minds of La Jolla’s Gillispie School than the monarch butterfly. For decades, swarms of the brilliantly colored insects have lighted at the school to produce offspring. “For some reason they’re drawn to this place,” Head of School Alison Fleming said during a recent campus tour, noting how students often place cones around their chrysalises to protect them. The private school on upper Girard Avenue, which currently enrolls 265 students age 2 through grade six, has a low teacher turnover rate, with some having been at the school for more than two decades. Like the butterflies, its educators have been returning to Gillispie for decades. “We’re careful to grow on the foundations we had, the idea that it would be like a home away from home,” said music teacher Linda Jacobs, who started at Gillispie in 1990 with a modest budget and often handmade instruments. Teachers are encouraged to forge enduring careers at Gillispie — most notably through the school’s $4.5 million Endowment for Excellence, which is used for the hiring and re-

The building is still used today for preschool age classes. ■ 2003: A $7 million, two-story building opens at Gillispie’s current location on upper Girard Avenue, including administrative offices and a gym.

Eddie V’s for seafood … and a whole lot more! By Kelley Carlson ddie V’s Prime Seafood, whose La Jolla location overlooks the Pacific, provides a menu that swells with offerings from North American waters. Inspired by classic seafood restaurants in San Francisco, New Orleans and Boston, Eddie V’s creates dishes from catch kept fresh, whether it’s from West Coast docks, the North Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico. For instance, there is the Point Judith Calamari, named for the cape on the coast of Narragansett, R.I. The colorful appetizer is prepared kung-pao style with roasted cashews and crisp noodles. And then there are entrees such as the Pacific Swordfish, broiled with fresh Jonah crab, avocado and red chili vinaigrette, which pairs well with a side of Crab Fried Rice with scallions and mushrooms; and the Georges Bank Scallops, mollusks obtained from New England that are sautéed with citrus, roasted almonds and brown butter. Although the name implies it’s strictly a seafood establishment, Eddie V’s also offers USDA prime, center-cut steaks that are aged 28 days and obtained from a butcher in Chicago. Among the selections are two sizes of filet mignon, a 16-ounce New York strip and a 22-ounce bone-in rib eye. “For being primarily a seafood restaurant, we sell a lot of prime steaks, as well,” Executive Chef Chris Gardner said. To accompany the dishes — served family-style — there are sides such as Truffled Macaroni and Cheese. Guests can conclude their meal with one of a halfdozen desserts; the “go-to” item is the flaming Hot “Bananas Foster” Butter Cake

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. n This week: Eddie V’s Sautéed Lemon Sole in Parmesan Crust with a scoop of butter-pecan ice cream. The La Jolla location of Eddie V’s is similar in decor to the seven additional restaurants in the chain, which are located in Texas and Arizona, although there are some aspects that make it unique. The large windows that enclose the split-level interior — divided into a lounge/bar and the main dining room — permit views of the ocean and La Jolla sea caves. A century-old fireplace that was part of the original building on the site — the Wahnfried Cottage — provides a sense of warmth and coziness. Just outside on the deck, children often watch sea lions swimming around the caves and listen to their echoing barks. Upstairs, on the covered Waterfront Terrace, patrons can dine in small groups and take advantage of pleasant weather. Inside the V Lounge, guests can sit at the bar or at tables near the piano and listen to live jazz music daily, starting at 6 p.m.
Parmesan-crusted Georges Bank Lemon Sole with tomato and herb salad and lemon-garlic butter. weekdays and 8 p.m. Friday and Saturdays. Reservations are recommended, managing partner Mario Vega said, as the restaurant constantly fills during lunch and dinner. However, it’s walk-in business in the lounges, where customers can receive $2 off drinks during the daily happy hour. Gardner recommends that a half-hour before sunset, patrons settle in while it’s still daylight, watch the setting sun, and then have dinner to catch “a few different phases of dining.” The Waterfront Terrace is the ideal place to sit for such an experience, and reservations should be made a couple weeks in advance to guarantee a spot there. “There are a lot of faithfuls and die-hard fans we see here on a weekly basis,” Vega said. “A lot of them grew up when this (place) was The Chart House. They see what it has evolved into. It’s a lot of memories for a lot of people.”

efore my engineer husband tries to explain anything technical to me, he says, “I think you might want to get the yellow pad.” He, of course, means an 8x11 lined legal pad that we buy by the kilo, since he also asserts that when I die he’s going to insert a multipack of them into my coffin for my use in the hereafter. In his dream of the hereafter, somebody else is helping me with my technical problems besides him. I have a multitude of really good skills in a number of areas. But techno stuff?

Sometimes you just have to get the upper hand by threatening the machine into submission. Windows Live Mail only shaped up when it knew I was going to replace it with Outlook. Olof also maintains that the biggest problem I have with electronics is that I have the frustration tolerance of a gnat. I am forever vowing that whatever gadget is giving me trouble is simply going to end up in the pool. It’s kind of become a code phrase. “So, is it in the pool?” Olof will inquire when he comes home from work knowing I’ve been thwarted all day by my computer. Olof says I have to learn to stay calm when frustrated. Why? What’s the point? I think hurling epithets at mechanical devices is a perfectly reasonable and healthy reaction.

www.lajollalight.com FROM INGA, B6 I hate being dependent on other people to help me fix them. Olof, bless him, is endlessly patient but I know that when he pours his third Scotch he’s getting testy. This is especially true when he’s trying to teach me something for the first time and has to wait while I painstakingly record instructions like this: Turn on power strip on top of desk. Turn on power button* on computer. The computer is the black box with the white top on the floor to the left of my desk chair and says “Dell” on it. (No snickers please. We also have another box that is called a “firewall” that is NOT the computer, or at least the one that will make my monitor come to life.) *The power button is on the top of the Dell box on the right side. If the light comes on, it’s on. No light and you probably didn’t turn on the power strip. Or it was already on and you accidentally turned it off. (I always include troubleshooting instructions in my notes.) At the bottom left of the monitor screen is a blue ball with an orange and green and blue and yellow checked flag. It’s really important because it is also how you turn the machine off again. Well, correctly anyway. No sound on speakers? Make sure the little green light on the speakers is on and that the Iomega thing isn’t plugged into the power strip instead. Still no sound? The kids may have turned off the volume using the speaker icon-y thing at the very bottom right of my screen . Click on it and slide it back up to the middle of the scale.

Right below the little slot thingeys (WHAT ARE THEY?) is the disk drive. On its right side, totally un-obviously, is a thing that you push and out pops the disk drive. Would a label have killed them?

FROM MACAROONS, B1 In addition to being expensive, Abdo said the technique takes skill and practice to master. Her skills came from an intense two-month study at the Paul Bocuse Institute in France, Abdo’s home. There, she learned how to tell when ingredients and textures were just right. “If you look at a macaroon recipe, it’s going to call for almond flour, sugar and egg whites to make the shell, and that’s all, you don’t need anything else,” she said. “So when you’re reading the recipe, you go ‘well I can do this. What
could be easier, right?’ No.” She said the almond flour used must have a powdery consistency. “If it’s not like powder, you have to make it like powder. You have to sift it and sift it and blend it and sift and blend it and resift it.” She added that once the mixture is made, only feeling will tell when it’s ready. “You have to do it by hand and that is tricky because you cannot say mix for 3 minutes or 8 minutes; there is no time, it’s all about feeling,” she said. So why do it?
On the Web ■ lareinedesmacarons.com “I really think San Diego needed good French macaroons,” she said. She also said there is a curiosity in La Jolla, where most of her business is. “Most people have never tasted them and there are still some people who don’t know what they are, so there is a lot of curiosity to try them.” Other local pastry chefs agree they
are difficult and laborious to make, which is why many local restaurants only sell them on occasion. Didier Pellerud, pastry chef at Aroma Café, said they take 2-3 hours to make, so he does not make or sell them on a regular basis. Jojo Rossi of Whisknladle said they are hard to make when it’s humid and they are very temperamental. Rossi said Whisknladle is selling them more now because the weather is not humid or rainy, but she could see how they are “too labor intensive for some people to do (on a regular basis).”

Jill Platt
Principal at All Hallows Academy ■ Years at the helm: 2 ■E ducation: Bachelor’s in speech communications with a minor in business from Northern Arizona University; Master’s in education in curriculum and instruction from Arizona State University; Master’s in educational leadership from Loyola University Chicago
By Catherine Ivey Lee t’s the beginning of recess at All Hallows Academy and principal Jill Platt is in her element. A class of five-year olds rushes excitedly toward the school’s blacktop in neat red-and-blue Catholic school uniforms. “Hello kindergartners. Let’s walk, please,” Platt says in a friendly voice. “Hello Mrs. Platt,” a boy smiles. “Hello!” she replies as he trots away. “I just love that boy. So cute I just want to eat him,” she tells a visitor. A new teacher stops Platt to ask whether students may wear jeans on a trip to the zoo the next day. She answers without missing a beat: Yes, but they’ll need their school sweaters. It’s going to be cold. It may only be the beginning of her second year as head of the K-8 Catholic school located on top of Mt. Soledad, but the multitasking, hands-on and approachable Platt appears to be at home. “This is a wonderful, warm community and the kids are amazing,” she said in a recent interview. “It’s been busy, really busy, but good.” Busy seems the norm for the Detroit-born educator who grew up in a family of eight children. After earning a bachelor’s degree

■ Video interview with Jill Platt at lajollalight.com in speech communication and embarking on a career in advertising, Platt switched gears by applying to an opening for a speech and debate teacher at a Catholic girls’ high school. “I found that I like being around kids and I liked watching them grow,” she says. Two master’s degrees, five schools and countless students later, Platt has accrued 19 years in teaching and administrative experience — all at Catholic schools. Before arriving in La Jolla last summer, she served as an assistant principal at a Chicago elementary school. Platt begins her days at 5:30 a.m. by

praying for guidance, wisdom and strength, a habit she repeats “about a dozen times” throughout the day and again each night. After dropping off her daughter at high school, Platt arrives in her office by 7:10 a.m. to tackle e-mails and voicemails before heading to the school’s front steps to greet students arriving at 8. From there, a typical day is filled with meetings with parents, cups of coffee, reviewing curriculum and lessons with teachers, more coffee, visits to classrooms and recess and lunch duty. “I like to be visible on campus,” Platt explains. “I want to be present so I know the ins and outs of what’s happening.” Despite all the coffee — Platt takes hers with cream — “I sometimes need a nap by the afternoon,” she jokes.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE, B10 Having spent her first year at All Hallows assessing the school, in her second Platt is introducing programs to better match the school’s curriculum with the Common Core State Standards it follows. This fall she rolled out a Fountas & Pinnell guided reading program and a new writing program. She is overseeing the school’s reaccredidation process and wants to boost enrollment. She views budgetary concerns as the biggest challenge in education today. “It is expensive to educate a child in today’s society,� she says. Today’s Catholic school education is more rigorous, demanding and global than ever before, Platt says. Rather than passively receiving knowledge as their parents may have 30 years ago, All Hallows students think critically about learning and are encouraged to make it relevant to their lives, often through the use of technology and student discussions. In addition, students take specialty art, Spanish, P.E. and music classes. That’s only part of what makes an All Hallows education unique, Platt says. “We’re also developing the mind, body

Local art-lovers take bus trip to Tijuana art fair By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt early 50 adventurous art lovers and artists gathered at Balboa Park on the evening of Oct. 5, for a VIP bus trip across the border to Entijuanarte 2012, a Tijuana art fair now in its eighth year. Once the most-visited border city in the world, TJ has seen tourism plummet as folks scared off by frequent reports of violence stayed away in droves. But lately, the West Coast’s second-largest city is trying to reposition itself as a cultural center, and art, food and wine lovers are starting to venture back. Several years ago, Julio Rodriguez, head of Entijuanarte, invited Patricia Frischer, coordinator of the San Diego Visual Arts Network, to put together a busload of art aficionados and bring them to the fair site at CECUT, the Centro Cultural de Tijuana, with the office of tourism providing an air-conditioned bus. A number of this year’s passengers made the trip before, and were eager to see what was new on the Tijuana art scene, and maybe bring home an artwork or two. The bus ride itself was a fun experience, with plenty of time to chat about art and life. As it turned out, the event was more of a swap meet than a fine art affair, but there were thousands of people strolling about, plenty of music, dancing waters, a performance by the contemporary dance company Lux Boreal, and hundreds of artists displaying their wares in tents. … And there were copious copas of wine from the Guadalupe Valley, so a very good time was had by all.

Art & Wine Fest raises $100,000 for La Jolla schools
T
he fourth annual La Jolla Art & Wine Festival, held Oct. 13-14 in downtown La Jolla, netted $100,000 for programs at Torrey Pines, Bird Rock and La Jolla elementary schools, as well as Muirlands Middle School (which was added as a beneficiary this year). The announcement was made during an appreciation party for the event’s more than 350 day-of volunteers and 12 year-round volunteers at Hotel La Jolla. Andrea Dahlberg told the La Jolla Light the vibe was much better this year, after moving the location from upper Girard Avenue to the heart of the Village. “One person said that in the old location it kind of felt like a school event and now it feels like a community event,” Dahlberg said. “Even the shuttle driver was hearing really great things as he took artists back and forth. We had a lot of people come, not only
from La Jolla, but from outside La Jolla.” After moving the event down Girard, participation jumped from 98 to 167 artists, and sponsorships increased from a high of $23,000 to $109,000, festival founder Sherry Ahern said. “There’s nothing about this event that isn’t a team effort and I think everyone should be proud,” she said. La Jolla Elementary School principal Donna Tripi recalled when the event was held on her campus. “I missed not having it there, but this event was much better,” she said. “I think I’m representing all the principals when I say we are so thankful to have this kind of funding now for our schools … because we can’t keep asking our parents for more and more funding.” As an additional thank you to volunteers, the hotel held a drawing for a $50 Cusp restaurant gift certificate and a one-night hotel stay. — Pat Sherman

They’re our future.’” Parent Kelly Kjos, whose kindergartner, Finn, and third-grader, Ethan, attend the school, said she values Gillispie’s emphasis on science, Spanish language education and opportunities for parents to engage with the campus community through events such as International Day. Each year, parents are asked
to represent a specific country through its music, art, food and clothing. Students spend 20 minutes traveling between “countries,” having
their passport stamped at each educational destination. “It’s just a really neat community and really welcoming school,” Kjos said.

www.lajollalight.com FROM PLAYHOUSE, B1 fantasy world as a Japanese warrior and pink robots become a manifestation of her illness. McAnuff said the story is sung all the way through with very little spoken dialogue. “It’s a contemporary story that takes place in our world and is multi-layered with psychedelic rock arrangements. It’s visually told through a real team effort of choreography, set designs, puppets, a great cast and wonderful projection-artist Sean Nieuwenhuis (“Jesus Christ Superstar”). He does some great things with Robert Brill (“Creditors,” “The Wiz”), my longtime scenic designer, and Basil Twist (“A Midsummer Night’s Dream”), one of the county’s most eminent puppet artists. “Music Director Ron Melrose, who worked with me on ‘Jersey Boys,’ is very inventive and imaginative, but faithful to The Lips’ songs. I’m also thrilled to have cast members Paul Nolan who played Jesus in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ at the Playhouse, and Kimiko Glenn, who was the princess here in ‘The Nightingale.’ ” Beginning at the Playhouse in 1983, McAnuff has directed 30-40 productions. His resume also includes work on films, TV and Broadway. He’s earned more than 200 awards, including two Tonys as Best Director (Musical) for “Big River” (1983) and “The Who’s Tommy” (1993), and he plays in the Red Dirt Band. McAnuff is currently winding up five years as the Artistic Director at Canada’s Stratford Shakespeare Festival. He said walking the stage once again at the Playhouse brings back many memories, but at the moment, he’s all about “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.” “I think the audience will find it an

People seem to have a strong emotional reaction to it. I think Wayne and the band will capture that in this production. It combines science and art in a fresh way and belongs here in the 21st century.”
La Jolla is home, and like all homes, it needs maintenance and TLC. Mere tax dollars aren’t enough. Together, we can pool our resources to keep La Jolla the jewel that it is. The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis. Membership is open to all La Jollans who care. Join the LJCF and have a voice in selecting annual grant recipients – making a difference here, at home, where you live.

orty-six students are performing in San Diego Junior Theatre’s production of “The Sound of Music,” through Nov. 18 at the Casa del Prado Theatre in Balboa Park. The beloved musical is set during the 1930s in Austria, where an aspiring nun, Maria, is assigned by the head of her abbey to be a governess. Maria’s vivaciousness and generous heart attract the love of the seven children and their widowed father, decorated Navy Captain Georg von Trapp. “The Sound of Music” was the final collaboration between composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein. It premiered on Broadway in 1959. Directed by Rayme Sciaroni, this production is recommended for ages 6 and older. Showtimes and tickets, $10-$15, are at juniortheatre.com or (619) 239-8355.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $139,016.43 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the
Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05000670-121. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Dentists teach class about tooth care
L
a Jolla dentist Dr. Tracy Taddey (left) and local orthodontist Dr. Robert Sunstein spoke to first-graders at La Jolla Elementary School last week about what Halloween candy does to teeth and how important good, daily, oral care is to their overall health. The doctors offered 5 Basic Teeth Tips to keep kids cavity-free throughout the year: 1) Remember that candy is a special treat and shouldn’t be eaten every day. 2) Try to avoid gooey candies (like gummy bears) that stick to your teeth and hard candies that remain in your mouth for a long time. 3) Drink water instead of sweet juices or sodas, especially on the days you eat candy. 4) Eat candy and other sweets with meals to help rinse away sugars and acids that cause bacteria. 5) Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste and floss between tight spots. — Jennifer Spengler

He is a long-time surfer who supports the Surfrider Foundation, the WindanSea Surf Club, National Scholastic Surfing Association and Glory Reborn, a nonprofit that operates a maternity clinic in the Philippines. “It’s a great feeling to be able to use my area knowledge and networking skills to help people,”
Halstead said. “The amount of business that gets accomplished out in the water might be surprising to some people. There have been numerous occasions where I ran into a colleague and was able to find a buyer for my seller or learn about a listing that wasn’t on the MLS.” Contact Anthony Halstead at (619) 813-8626 or HomesbyAnthony@gmail.com
