Garza, a public information officer with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Yet, the DMV is conscious of the affects of aging on motorists, and requires drivers to visit a DMV office at age 70 for a written and visual test. “Then seniors have to come in every five years after that,” Garza said. “We want to ensure that they’re OK to drive.” Although Garza said some statistics show that seniors are better drivers and involved in fewer accidents in their 70s than beginning teenage drivers, Linda Hill, a professor of family and preventive medicine and with UC San Diego School of Medicine,
By Ashley Mackin Next year’s projects and plans for the Bird Rock Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) were discussed after the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting Nov. 4 at the La Jolla Masonic Hall. BRCC treasurer Barbara Dunbar explained that the MAD — which provides maintenance services (such as landscaping, graffiti removal and minor capital improvements) that supplement city services and are funded by fees assessed to Bird Rock property owners — had its quarterly city inspection in October. “The city was very pleased with our area and the progress being made,” Dunbar said. “A number of issues were discussed, including water restrictions (which were voluntary at that time), damage to plants and irrigation systems run over by cars, and delivery vehicles parking on landscaped areas.” To deter run-overs and errantly parked trucks, boulders were installed on the perimeter of the landscaped areas in front of the SeaHaus condominium complex on La Jolla Boulevard, Bird Rock’s main thoroughfare. “We had repeated problems with damage to plants and irrigations systems, so that’s why the boulders were placed,” she said. “If they prove to be effective — and so far it looks like they might — we may put more in two other locations where we are experiencing intermittent problems.” A frequently treaded area is the landscaped medians between Linda Rosa Avenue and Colima Street, and on the south side of Colima Street, a few blocks east of La Jolla Boulevard.

How to know it’s time to quit driving By Pat Sherman Although the investigation is ongoing into the traffic accident on Girard Avenue that led to the death of 45-year-old mother of three, Melissa Ratcliff, the incident has renewed concerns about the ability of elderly drivers to safely operate a motor vehicle. Ratcliff was struck and killed by a 91-year-old motorist Oct. 7 in the 7700 block of Girard Avenue as she was unloading her car. At press time, San Diego Police had not filed charges against the driver, though they have ruled out mechanical error as the cause of the accident. Although many people can drive safely into their 80s and beyond, people age differently and
It is estimated that by 2030 one in five California drivers will be age 65 or older. a variety of factors may impair the ability of older drivers. “We encourage people to drive as long as they can, as long as they are safe on the road,” said Jaime

offshore, there has been an abundance of interesting marine wildlife. Early this summer, anchovy schools circling throughout La Jolla Shores and around Scripps Pier were so thick they turned the water black. Later in August, by-the-wind sailors (a jelly-like creature; Velella velella) washed ashore in huge rafts all along the West Coast. Fishermen have had great luck all summer catching bluefin and yellowfin tuna, as well as mahi (dorado) and yellowtail (normally only caught later in the year and 100 miles south into Mexico). And more recently, hammerhead sharks, hawksbill and loggerhead sea turtles, flying fish and pilot whales have been reported
near our coast. Stories of minke whales seen near the Coronado Islands, and whale sharks near Catalina have made trips offshore an adventure each time. By the end of this month, we’ll have our regular visitors — the gray whales — migrating past on their way to the warm lagoons around the Baja peninsula, capping a pretty spectacular wildlife year in San Diego. u — Kelly Stewart is a marine biologist with The Ocean Foundation, working with NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla.

CRIME NEWS Former Jack’s bookkeeper to serve time in prison
A
woman who stole millions from the former Jack’s La Jolla restaurant and nightclub complex at Girard Avenue and Wall Street, where she was a bookkeeper, was sentenced Nov. 7 to nearly 16 years in state prison. Tara Moore, a 42-year-old mother of two daughters, was convicted in August of grand theft, forgery of documents and theft from an elder. Moore was also accused of defrauding her ex-mother-in-law, and fraudulently collected military spousal benefits from the Department of Defense. William Berkley, the former owner of Jack’s La Jolla (set to reopen early next year under new ownership as La Plaza La Jolla boutique shopping center), said he lost everything — including real estate holdings — when his restaurant was forced to close in 2009 because of Moore’s embezzlement. “You took away my financial security,” Berkley told Moore, calling her a “greedy sociopath” whose “deceit knew no bounds.” Moore was convicted of stealing at least $1.1 million from Jack’s, and $1 million
from another employer and $1.8 million from her former mother-in-law, a retired physician. Moore told her former motherin-law she would invest the money in a commercial development in Rancho Bernardo, but the development never existed, said Deputy District Attorney Bill Mitchell. Defense attorney Paul Pfingst said Moore intended on repaying her former motherin-law, but realized she couldn’t. In addition, when Moore’s naval aviator husband died, she failed to disclose that she had remarried and continued to collect $75,000 in military life insurance benefits, Mitchell said.

Monuments Park?
Proposed plaque at La Jolla High leads to idea for athletic tribute By Ashley Mackin hen it comes to recognizing notable La Jolla High School athletes and coaches, the school might have a new system — along with a new stadium — in 2016. Spurred by a group of Viking alumni who want to install a plaque honoring their former coach on the school’s Scripps Archway, discussions between Principal Chuck Podhorsky and alumni got underway to possibly establish a “Monuments Park” on campus and set the criteria by which someone would qualify for inclusion. Stan Wyatt from the class of 1951 and a few others met with Podhorsky to talk about installing a memorial plaque for the late football coach Walt Harvey, who passed away in February. The original plan was to install the plaque, which the group paid to have cast and is now finished, on the exterior wall of the men’s locker room. But the wall is part of the 18-month stadium renovation planned to start next year. An alternative, the alumni pose, would be to install the plaque on the Scripps Archway because it would not be affected by the renovation. “We think it’s appropriate and we think he’s earned the right to be honored and recognized,” Wyatt said, citing Harvey’s 1999 induction into the Coaching Legends Hall of Fame, housed at the Hall of Champions at Balboa Park. Harvey coached
W
In June, La Jolla High School alumni and the family of the late Coach Walt Harvey gathered at the location they would like his honorary plaque installed. Ashley Mackin at La Jolla High School from 1948 to 1953 and is one of four coaches from the school to be inducted that year. Confident that Harvey could be among the honorees in “Monuments Park,” Podhorsky said he thought the decision of whom to honor should be left to a committee and meet pre-determined criteria. “We have such a rich history here at La Jolla High School with a lot of amazing coaches who have impacted thousands of
students’ lives, so I thought we should have a process that creates an equitable way to honor all people who have elevated to that level of greatness,” he said. Inspired by the “Monuments Park” at Yankee Stadium in New York — which has plaques recognizing players and staff, a place for retired numbers and other forms of acknowledgment — Podhorsky said he likes the idea of installing a similar park on campus as part of the renovation.
“Since we are redoing our stadium completely, let’s create an opportunity for something that’s permanent that has a process to it … and has room for expansion,” he said, adding he talked with the architect handling the stadium redesign, who said the “Monuments Park” is “totally possible.” Podhorsky also said the alumni he discussed the idea with are “totally supportive.” But Wyatt and his group have not been persuaded and discussions will continue. u

receivers. Favorite receiving targets Brandon Bonham and Carlton O’Neal augmented their record-book numbers as well, with Bonham snaring two scoring aerials and O’Neal, on a hurting ankle, grabbing nine passes for 96 yards and one touchdown. The Vikings (finishing 2-2 in the Western League, 5-5 overall) open the CIF Division III playoffs Friday, Nov. 14, at Santa Fe Christian (3-1 in the Coastal League, 5-5 overall) at 7 p.m. From the opening kickoff, when the high-
bounding ball bounced off a La Jolla player and back into the hands of a Komet special teams coverage man, things started out a little discombobulated for the distracted redand-black. A Viking defense that had seemingly solidified the previous two weeks with two outstanding games against Mission Bay and Madison repeatedly allowed Kearny receivers behind and through weak pass coverage. La Jolla made the Komets (finishing 0-4 in the Western League, 0-10 overall) look much better than they are.
Kearny scored five touchdowns in the finale of a season in which they had not scored more than a single touchdown in any game other than in a blowout loss to Mission Bay. “Coach Carter had some choice words at halftime,” confided Bonham, who finished with four catches for 43 yards, upping his season total to 1109 yards, 1789 in his career, a La Jolla High record. His TD total is now 17 for the season, 25 in his career. “He told us he was going to run the (heck) out of us (if we lost).”

By Ed Piper he La Jolla High School Vikings took the win-less Kearny High Komets too lightly in the final regular season game for both teams, giving a huge and loud Homecoming crowd in Gene Edwards Stadium a topsy-turvy tilt that totaled 15 touchdowns and saw La Jolla enter the CIF playoffs with an eventual 67-35 win Nov. 7.

Viking cheerleaders have a message for the crowd. On what was also Senior Night, senior Grant Miller recorded a sack and multiple tackles on defense and a 24-yard reception on offense, the sack and catch both in the third quarter. “(Miller) is an ironman,” said an elated though frustrated Carter after the game. “He has done everything we have asked him to do. He’s just a team player. He works his butt off.” Carter also handed out accolades to senior Berkeley Stobo, who Rugg completed three passes to in La Jolla’s first drive as he carved out a cameo role as a receiver and trick-play passer this season as Rugg’s back-up. “His new name is ‘Air Berkeley,’” said Carter, as Stobo was being interviewed postgame on the field. “He catches the ball in the air, he passes in the air…” In early surprises, Kearny took its own misplayed opening kick and scored in the first minute and a half. Then, after Rugg drove the Vikings 80 yards in less than two minutes, with Reid Martin carrying the ball over from three yards out for the touchdown, the Komets went up 13-6 on a 63-yard pass play to Anfernee Hamilton. They had not led any opponent all season by that margin. The Vikings let Kearny stay around until the third quarter. Their lead was 44-29 at halftime. Then the tongue-lashed Vikings piled up 23 unanswered points in the third quarter to build up a 67-29 lead, finally settling in to find their rhythm. In La Jolla’s game plan, it wasn’t supposed to begin that way. Carter said before the game that the goal was to “play hard” to “get the guys in and get the guys out” early in the game. But the unexpected led to Carter having to stay with his regulars

through three quarters. At halftime, a parade of class floats on this year’s Homecoming theme of “Superhero” delighted the large home crowd after the Viking Cheer Squad and new Viking Marching Band and Tall Flags performed on the field. Drum majors leading the band are Miguel Ochoa and Roan Wadsworth. The Homecoming marked the last one that will be celebrated on the present turf, which, under a planned remodel beginning in Spring 2015, will be ripped up and replaced over the following 18 months with a new artificial playing surface. Junior Trenton Fudge, who had touchdown receptions of 3 and 53 yards in the first quarter, commented on it being his class’s last regular season home game on the present field, “It stinks (because all games in 2015 will played on the road due to construction). But this is a good way to go out.” Defender Andrew Mitchell, a sophomore, said he looks forward to playing on the new field in Fall 2016 as a senior. “They said we might play the first blastoff on the new field,” said Mitchell, who once again was around the ball a lot on defense. u

something far sturdier that will last longer than this one did.” Also on MAD’s agenda is the removal of the sycamore trees that dot the medians and sidewalk corners, which the city planted when the roundabouts were installed. “Originally, there were some gold medallion street trees, some of which had plaques on them,” Dunbar said. “Now we have 10 sycamores that have had nothing but problems.” These include excessive roots (from being planted in an area too small for them); visibility issues for pedestrians; trees having split or double trunks further impairing visibility; fungus on the leaves, to which crews are constantly applying fungicide; and the wide leaves dropping and blocking the
brow ditch drains. When the sycamores are removed, gold medallion trees, similar to those found throughout Bird Rock, will be planted. Although the cost of materials has gone up, the $90 residential assessment will stay the same for the 2015-2016 fiscal year, ending June 30, 2016. “In all prior years, we have not needed to use the full amount budgeted and expect to actually spend less for Fiscal Year 2015-2016 than will be budgeted,” Dunbar said.
In other Bird Rock news: n Halloween “safe, quiet”: With the implementation of private security,
increased police presence and residents turning off their lights at 8 p.m., the Neighborhood Watch chair reported Halloween 2014 was quieter and calmer than previous years. In the past, pumpkins were smashed, houses egged and trash left on sidewalks. This year, there was far less trash, no smashed pumpkins, and only three houses egged. Dunbar said the MAD would fund security for the evening in the future. n Small lots, big houses: Representing residents concerned with the potential “mansionization” of Bird Rock, Sharon Wampler said, “With the changes in the real estate market, there has been an increasing amount of construction.

To discourage people from walking across the medians and trampling the vegetation, split-rail fencing was installed and set back to avoid irrigation systems.

To prevent damage by motorists, boulders were placed in areas that were commonly run over this year. Should they prove effective, more may be installed.

If you are buying a home from a foreign owner you need to be certain that escrow checks on FIRPTA (Foreign Investment Real Property Tax Act of 1980). This law obligates buyers of foreign-owned properties to determine, for tax withholding purposes, whether the seller is a tax resident of the United States or a foreign country. Escrow will request this information from the seller, but the buyer should double check to make sure it is done. If an American buyer fails to have escrow withhold 10 percent from the purchase price of foreign-owned properties to remit to the Internal Revenue Service, the buyer may be liable for a U.S Tax that the foreign sellers are suppose to pay. Escrow will send this amount together with a completed From 8288 to the IRS within 20 days of the transaction closing. I once had a buyer contacted by the IRS to pay the foreign seller’s tax because the check and paperwork got lost. It is probably a good idea to have escrow send this information via certified mail so that there are no mistakes and there is proof that it was sent in a timely manner.

impose stricter regulations on developers and ‘flippers’ who are buying, remodeling and selling properties in Bird Rock.” Citing three new residences as examples, Wampler said the same company developed them all and they look almost exactly the same. “Bird Rock is known for the charm and uniqueness of its homes and we don’t want to become a subdivision,” she said. Wampler also cited concerns that the properties were too large for the lots on which they were built. “We just want to open the discussion, we are not antiprogress and not anti-construction, but the concern is we could end up with massive houses on small lots.” Resident Dana Williams added that the developers are following the code as it is
currently written. “Some of the concern is that the code does not protect the neighborhood and that’s what we want to address,” she said. BRCC board member Jim Ragsdale said the issue of Floor Area Ratios (FARs), which might address some of the residents’ concerns, was being discussed at other community planning groups in San Diego. BRCC president Jacqueline Bell suggested those with concerns present their thoughts to other boards handling the issue. u n BRCC’s next meeting will be a holiday party, 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2 at Bird Rock Oyster and Sushi, 5752 La Jolla Blvd. BRCC meets first Tuesdays at venues across Bird Rock.

an Diego Nice Guys honored the 2014 Nice Guy of the Year, T. Denny Sanford, at their 35th annual anniversary gala Nov. 8 at Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina. “We are privileged to have Denny Sanford as our Nice Guy of the Year,” said Robert Rodriguez, president. “His achievements as a businessman are matched only by his generosity for others in our community. He is a dedicated community leader who has been a long-time contributor to many organizations in San Diego.” Founded in 1979, the Nice Guys of San Diego is an all-volunteer nonprofit 501(c)3 organization of more than 140 men and women, with no paid staff. In 2013, Nice Guys provided $1.18 million to needy San Diegans including $727,000 through their Victory Fund to military families. Total charitable distributions now exceed $14.6 million. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Sanford graduated from University of Minnesota and was recruited by Armstrong Cork Co. as a sales and marketing manager. In 1960, he left Armstrong and formed a manufacturer’s representative company, promoting technical construction products through architects and engineers. He subsequently formed a distribution company and, in 1971, acquired a 50-year-old chemical company from Sears, Roebuck. In 1972, he took that company, Contech, Inc. public at $5/ share. Ten years later, Sanford sold
Contech for $35/share. At that point, he took a different tack and formed a venture capital company, Threshold Ventures. In 1986, he purchased United National Corporation in Sioux Falls, South Dakota (now First PREMIER Bank), and built it, along with a new credit card company (Premier BANKCARD), from 80 to more than 3,000 employees. In 2001, he formed the Denny Sanford Foundation for charitable giving. Since then, he has donated more than $1 billion to a variety of organizations, including $30 million to the San Diego Consortium for T. Denny Sanford Regenerative Medicine (renamed the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine) and $20 million to the Burnham Institute of Medical Research in La Jolla. In 2010, he issued a $50 million matching gifts challenge to benefit Burnham, now renamed the Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute. In another landmark gesture, he pledged $100 million to UC San Diego to establish the Sanford Stem Cell Clinical Center. Over the years, Sanford has garnered many honors for his generous contributions. He maintains homes in Arizona, Colorado and La Jolla. He has one brother, two sons and two grandsons. u

cites statistics showing a person’s crash rate per mile driven also begins to rise in their 70s. By their 80s, senior men are as dangerous behind the wheel, in terms of driving fatalities per mile driven, as teenage males. It is estimated that by 2030 one in five California drivers will be age 65 or older. Hill is director of the Training, Research and Education for Driving Safety program (TREDS), which trains physicians and law enforcement to recognize the warning signs of impaired driving skills and to take “appropriate, compassionate action.” UCSD researchers have developed a roadside tool to help police screen drivers for dementia, disorientation or cognitive impairment if spotted driving erratically. “Our goal is to reduce the number of fatalities involving older drivers and to prolong the time that seniors can drive safely,” Hill said. “We help (law enforcement) to better recognize medical conditions that can interfere with driving.” Hill said broaching the subject of impaired driving with a senior may be uncomfortable for both family members and physicians. “Yet the public really expect that their physicians are going to step up to the plate and help the patient and their family … recognize when they have medical conditions that interfere with driving,” she said. “Everybody, at some point, reaches the point where their medical conditions are such that safe driving is no longer an option. Nonetheless, some people are still on the road … who either haven’t self-regulated or

The intelligent alternative to liposuction. FDA APPROVED!
Linda Hill is a UC San Diego professor of family and preventive medicine and director of the UCSD School of Medicine’s TREDS program, which trains law enforcement to recognize warning signs of impaired driving and take ‘appropriate, compassionate action.’ Courtesy If the news is not good, Garza said, “We tell them right there at the office after the test (is administered). You try to explain it the best you can. We have to be understanding of the driver, their need to be mobile and the need to have that independence. When you take that away, it can be very emotional.” For some, Garza said, revocation isn’t the only option. Sometimes a senior’s license may merely require a restriction placed on it, stating they are only allowed to drive during daylight hours or on familiar streets. Hill said many conditions that impair driving can be treated, allowing a senior to remain mobile. “Vision can be corrected; it might be that simple,” she said. “It might be that physical therapy will help arthritis; it might be that lowering (the dosage of) a drug will help reduce drowsiness and confusion. It’s important to recognize there’s a problem, so you can look for solutions.” However, Hill noted that about a quarter of people over age 80 have visual impairments that cannot be corrected. “When you’re younger you can usually correct it with glasses or contacts, but as we age we get nasty things like macular degeneration or glaucoma that are hard to treat,” she said. “Similarly, starting at about 65, half of older adults are taking five or more medications in any given week for a variety of things. Even when taken correctly, there can be drug interactions or individual reactions that can cause disorientation,
sleepiness or poor coordination that can interfere with driving. Just being frail, just having less muscle mass and less bone (density) puts people at risk for a crash. You can’t turn your head as well if you don’t have the strength.” In addition, an average 70-year-old involved in a crash is four times as likely to die of their injuries than an average 20-yearold in the same crash, Hill said. She recommends those who suspect a senior loved one may have a medical condition that is interfering with their ability to drive get in the car and take a test drive with them through the neighborhood or on a calm street. “Go for a drive with them first and see if that’s an issue,” she said. “The other thing is to look at their car and see if there’s a lot of scratches and dents, because that will be another clue.” For those unwilling to gracefully retire from the road or who do not agree that they are no longer fit to drive, Hill suggests family members contact a driving rehab specialist (typically an occupational therapist) that can take a test drive with their loved one to provide an impartial assessment. Garza said the DMV also has its Senior Ombudsman Program, in which seniors work with other seniors to help them through the aging process as motorists, and offer valuable information. “They go out and they talk at senior centers, community centers and basically provide the guidance that they need,” he said. u

Scott Peters elected to second term in Congress
I
t was a tight race, with La Jolla’s Scott Peters down by more than 700 votes on election night, though the incumbent Democratic U.S. Congressmember ultimately prevailed over Republican challenger and former San Diego City Councilmember Carl DeMaio in his quest to represent the 52nd Congressional District for a second term. When the dust had settled Nov. 10, Peters received slightly more than 54 percent of the vote. “I am honored the constituents of California’s 52nd Congressional District chose to send me back for another two years,” Peters said, in a statement. “I thank my wife Lynn and my family
for their steadfast support; my exceptional campaign team for their integrity, expertise, hard work, discipline and good humor; and the hundreds of volunteers who worked nonstop to remind voters in every corner of the district about the importance of this election. I also thank Carl DeMaio for his commitment to public service and government reform; while we disagreed on many issues, I congratulate him on running a tenacious, aggressive and tough campaign. … Election night was a hard one for the Democratic Party, but perhaps there are lessons from our path to victory here in our Republican-leaning district.” u — Pat Sherman
City workers installed signs like this to let the public know about a one-month closure of South Casa beach to accommodate construction on the Children’s Pool lifeguard tower project.
South Casa Beach to close for one month

eginning this week the walkway to South Casa beach and the beach itself will be closed to public access because of the construction work on the La Jolla Children’s Pool Lifeguard Station, the city announced. A new walkway will be installed, requiring demolition and removal of the current walkway. The closure is required to ensure public safety during this phase of the project. Once the path is removed, there is no safe access for a swimmer to arrive at street level from the beach. The walkway and beach will re-open in mid-December. South Casa Beach is located just south of 850 Coast Blvd. (across from the Casa de Mañana retirement community). Children’s Pool beach, just north of South Casa, will remain open during this time, then closing Dec. 15 for the harbor seals’ fivemonth birthing season. San Diego Fire Rescue/Lifeguard Services will continue to have access to South Casa beach via a gate and designated path along the bluff, should an emergency occur. Lifeguards will patrol the water near South Casa beach during the closure in the event that a swimmer arrives on the beach. u — Pat Sherman

C.J. Charles’ lux renovation befits world’s finest watches, jewelry By Marti Gacioch .J. Charles Jeweler’s recent renovations offer a glistening new showcase in which to shop for the world’s finest timepieces and jewelry. The longtime La Jolla jeweler on Prospect Street in the Village has exceeded the extraordinary with a project that required high-end materials and many months of work by the finest architects, designers, mechanical engineers, builders, lighting contractors and finish fabricators available. “This is our costliest renovation to date,” said owner/president Vahid Moradi. “We had to close for one month to complete the project.” C.J. Charles is now illuminated entirely with LED lights that display a showroom finished in walnut paneling and cabinetry. An eye-catching Baccarat chandelier sparkles from the ceiling. The flooring is a top grade of limestone (gold and sand) and white Calcutta marble suitable for a villa. “Our store was inspired by shops on La Place de Vendome in Paris,” Moradi said. “We created an experience of luxury and held nothing back in the extravagance for our clients. The luxury here is comfortable, but it’s also cozy and extremely appealing to

Cartier’s 500-square-foot salon d’espace features Cartier’s trademark red carpet paired with walls of red leather, in which Cartier installed an elaborate wall cabinet of stainless steel and mahogany and a seating area fashioned from taupe-hued leather. The grand opening for the “new” store will coincide with C.J. Charles’ Holiday Party on Dec. 11. Union Bank of California is co-sponsoring the event and chef Jeffrey Strauss of Del Mar’s Pamplemousse Grille will do the catering. “The food will be out of this world and we expect more than 100 people to attend and enjoy our new showroom,” Moradi said. During the jeweler’s busiest time of the year, Nov. 26-Dec. 8, C.J. Charles will donate 5 percent of the store’s proceeds to Moore’s Cancer Center, which invited Moradi to join its board in 2015. “Supporting the quest for a cure for cancer has been a passion of mine for years,” he said of the board appointment. u n C.J.

Gillispie School boosts programs with campus expansion
T
he Gillispie School in La Jolla began its school year by unveiling three new learning spaces completed over the summer during its Fay Street campus expansion project. The space additions include a renovated science bungalow, a sustainable garden and an early childhood art atelier, all completed in August 2014. The science bungalow, a renovated historic cottage originally built in 1906, and the sustainable garden offer students the opportunity to embrace the concepts of science beyond the boundaries of a traditional indoor classroom setting. Students are encouraged to move between the garden, woodworking area and laboratory spaces on the property when working in groups on assigned projects. The art atelier, a new construction on the property, serves as an art space specifically designed for the preschool/pre-kindergarten students. Gillispie’s elementary students have their own art studio in the school’s Fine Arts building. Students have already embarked on a number of exciting projects this year in the new spaces. During their study of potential and kinetic energy, the science class was able to roll out a huge track in the front garden of the bungalow to predict and test the energy lost in a rolling system, observing how high up the far side of a parabolic track a ball traveled when released from various heights. Working in the sustainable garden, students found rock and mineral specimens they put through a series of geological tests

to determine their various properties. Early childhood students were delighted during a recent whole-body clay molding exercise in the new space designed specifically for their creative imaginations. “The workshop feel on the new property really is allowing the students to think more freely, and to make their learning visible in ways that weren’t possible before,” said Chip Edwards, Gillispie’s Science & Sustainability teacher, “With the help of a grant from the Scripps Family Foundation, we have purchased hand tools, power tools, 3D scanning and printing technologies, a vacuum forming machine, vinyl cutter, embroidery machine, and a laser cutter. We are currently designing how we want to incorporate ‘making’ into the curriculum, giving kids access to the facility, encouraging them to see themselves as problem solvers and creators, instead of passive consumers. It’s all very, very exciting.” Future lessons
planned for the new spaces include generating QR codes to map landmarks on the new property and composting to create rich soils to use in the sustainable garden where students have already begun planting and tending to their own seedlings. u n The Gillispie School, named a “La Jolla
Best Private School,” in the La Jolla Light Readers Poll, is at 7380 Girard Ave. It is now accepting applications for Preschool-Grade 6 programs. For more information, visit gillispie.org or call (858) 459-3773. The Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support the La Jolla Light.

cripps Health celebrated the debut of the Donald P. and Darlene V. Shiley Musculoskeletal Center at Scripps Clinic, Nov. 6. The new center will provide patients access to orthopedic and musculoskeletal services in one specially designed location on the first floor of the Scripps Clinic Torrey Pines Anderson Outpatient Pavilion, 10666 N. Torrey Pines Road in La Jolla. The center was made possible in part by a $5 million gift from Darlene Shiley to support advanced orthopedic care and research at Scripps Clinic. “Darlene Shiley and her late husband, Donald, have been instrumental to the expansion of programs and services at Scripps Health and we are grateful for their continued generosity and support of research and patient care,” said Chris Van Gorder, Scripps Health CEO. The center will offer centralized imaging
services and orthopedic specialties including sports medicine, podiatry, hand and wrist surgery, spine surgery, and total joint replacement, as well as complex foot and ankle reconstruction. Musculoskeletal services already account for more than 100,000 patient visits at Scripps Clinic annually and more than half of all surgeries performed at Scripps Green Hospital. The need for orthopedic services will only grow in the coming years as the population ages and more people seek ways to maintain an active, mobile lifestyle. Dating back to 1980, the Shileys’ philanthropic gifts to Scripps total more than $15 million, supporting programs and services related to heart care, orthopedics, neurology and clinical research. Donald Shiley was the founder and retired chairman of a pioneering biomedical firm that advanced development and use of state-of-the-art medical devices in cardiovascular surgery, including the Bjork-Shiley Heart Valve. scripps.org u

For traffic-related issues, LJT&T is the board you need to see GUEST COMMENTARY BY Todd Lesser Chair, La Jolla Traffic & Transportation Committee
T
here has been some confusion about the roles held by La Jolla Traffic & Transportation committee (LJT&T) and the La Jolla Community Planning Association as it applies to traffic and transportation issues. A joint board is required by Council Policy 600-24 for traffic and transportation issues in La Jolla to ensure that there is broad representation of the various geographic sections of the community and there are diversified community interests. LJT&T is a joint board comprised of two members from the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC), La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA), La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) and La Jolla Town Council (LJTC). The rules were designed so no one group who appoints two members would get the final say. LJCPA is the group designated to provide community feedback to the City of San Diego on land-use matters. LJCPA has various subcommittes that review individual
La Jolla Traffic and Transportation
building projects for things like Coastal Development Permits and other building permits or whether a building project is in compliance with the local Planned District Ordinances (PDO) for either the business areas or the La Jolla Shores PDO. On all of these subject matters, they are the primary voice for La Jolla with the City of San Diego — but not for traffic and transportation issues. LJT&T is not a sub-committee of the LJCPA, on the contrary, it is designated to communicate directly with the City of San Diego on traffic and transportation matters. Unfortunately, to some members of the community, the LJCPA monthly agenda implies that in ratifying the LJT&T actions the LJCPA has the final word on traffic and transportation issues. There is also a public misperception that it is OK to skip LJT&T and simply “pull” the item/ask so that it be heard at the next LJCPA meeting. This is an error of assumption. On traffic and transportation
La Jolla Community Planning Association issues, LJCPA has the same standing with the City as Rotary or Kiwanis. If people with traffic issues have the time and resources and want to make presentations at various community meetings to get the word out about their situation or event, that should not be misunderstood to mean that the group hearing it is voting to approve or deny the traffic or transportation portion with any special authority. In fact, spending a lot of time on items that are not in the purview of a group may be viewed as a distraction of time best spent on what is actually within the group’s authority. See the following information for the language from the Bylaws of each group. If you would like to comment on traffic-related issues in La Jolla and have your voice be heard by the actual organization recognized by the city, I encourage you to get on our e-mail list and start coming to our meetings, they are held at 4 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of the month at at the La Jolla Rec
ON THE LIGHT SIDE
LJCPA bylaws: ‘Article II Section 1. Purposes “The LJCPA has been recognized by the City Council, Planning Commission, City staff and other governmental agencies on land use matters, specifically concerning the preparation of, adoption of, implementation of, or amendment to, the General Plan, or a land use plan when a plan relates to the La Jolla Community Plan boundaries.’ LJT&T bylaws: “The purposes of the La Jolla Traffic and Transportation Board are: to serve as the focal point for traffic and transportation matters for the community of La Jolla with governmental agencies and with the public…” “Topics that may be considered by the Board include, but are not limited to: water mains, storm drains and sewers; street paving; traffic signals and stop signs; traffic enforcement; facilities financing; MTDB bus routes and rail lines; bike routes and bike routes; TDM/ APCD; parking lots; street lighting and signage; parking enforcement; street repair and cleaning; sidewalks and crosswalks; street parking and rainbow curbs; rightof-way vacation; and ad hoc subcommittees as needed.” u
Corrections n A story in the Nov. 6 issue, “Planners adopt city’s election debacle fix,” stated that La Jolla Community Planning Association board candidate Peter Ovanessoff, who ran for a seat in the group’s March 2014 election, stepped aside so architect Michael Morton could take his seat. In fact, Ovanessoff said he does not know Morton and stepped aside because he did not feel it was “appropriate” to be elected via a “technicality” that allows candidates with fewer votes to be elected over returning trustees elected by a wide majority. “Simply stated, I believe I need to earn enough votes to be seated as the community’s trustee and that unfortunately did not happen on this occasion,” Ovanessoff said, via e-mail.

30-Day Club continues fight against shortterm rents The Oct. 2 meeting of the La Jolla Community Planning Association was instructive to those who are following the explosion in Short Term Vacation Rental (STVR) issues in La Jolla and nationwide. At this meeting, the public was afforded an open forum for comments and many folks made their concerns known. The president of the San Diego Vacation Rental Managers Alliance (SDVRMA) indicated that his supporters did not attend and implored the committee to allow an encore of just the public comments at its next meeting on Nov. 6. The committee so accommodated and the SDVRMA president promised “his folks” would be at the next meeting. Sure enough, nearly 100 real estate folks responded to his e-mail blast and packed the La Jolla Rec Center. Sporting badges that proclaimed “I Support ShortTerm Vacation Rentals” and an opinion from a downtown real estate attorney that no disclosure is required when selling property adjacent or in the area of a STVR, the group queued up to microphone to proclaim severe consequences for La Jolla and San Diego should any constraints be placed on their ongoing business. Our side was not able to respond, even in public comment, as the chair mandated that any who spoke in the previous meeting were precluded from addressing the committee this time around. So only a few hearty souls from our group were able to voice concerns for the community. To set the record straight would take a few pages, but suffice to say we are proponents of our single family residential neighborhoods (zoned R1 and in some cases RM), but have only been characterized in the negative light as opponents. Thanks to all of you who continue to contact us with your personal experiences and struggles, we will continue to be your voice.
The nationwide groundswell continues and we ask you to join us at this important time when we will determine whether neighborhoods will be for neighbors or become mixed commercial housing. Jon Mangerich Chairman, 30 Day Club 30dayclub@gmail.com
W. Muirlands traffic calm could lead to car accidents That cement oblong obstruction recently built on West Muirlands Drive to slow traffic certainly is a major accident hazard. Because the monster much of the time is in the shadow of large trees, it is well hidden and extremely difficult to see for both regular travelers on the street and unwary visitors. The bright painting helps, but some lighting may be needed to avert auto and tire damage when running into

Some residents need to stop wasting water La Jollans seem to have forgotten that there is a very serious drought in California. This week alone, I’ve seen three residents using copious amounts of water to hose off their driveways and sidewalks. Perhaps pictures and public shaming are due? Or perhaps these people need to be reminded that wasting water is now a criminal offense? u Chase Barrett La Jolla

Soiled sidewalks continue to begrime Village

unning affords the opportunity to see some of the best and worst of La Jolla up close and personal. I have been running past 1905 Spindrift Drive and noticed that water is pouring out into the gutter from holes in the side of the sidewalk. This is like a little stream of water that has been flowing for not one day, not one week, not one month but more than six MONTHS! It has been running down the gutter so long that the water is eroding the gutter and asphalt. This is just wrong. Whatever water my entire neighborhood and I are saving is negated by this. I have called the San Diego City Water Authority months ago and they are aware but nothing is being done. I don’t understand why this has been allowed to continue in this period of severe drought. Maybe the La Jolla Light can get some answers! Kate J. Gibfried
Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light brought the situation to the attention of Bill Harris of the city’s Transportation & Storm Water Department. Here is his response: “It is groundwater, undoubtedly accumulated from over-irrigation upstream, that is moving through allowed drains onto the street. Neither the property owner who installed the drains, or the city, anticipated the volume and constant flow from this site. We are working on a long term solution that will better manage the drainage — including additional outreach and education about the problem of over-irrigation. “It is possible that the water will eventually be directed to either the underground storm drain or the sanitary sewer system. Either option will require collaboration with the property
Streams of water flow along Spindrift Drive. Kate J. Gibfried owner (and, potentially, other residents nearby). Once that work is complete the city will restore the street. I will keep you and others informed as we explore options for solutions. “I appreciate your concern, your vigilance and your anger about the pace of this effort. The solution implemented here will probably set the standard for responses to similar problems throughout the city. Because of the likely precedent to be set, we are engaging a broad group of professional staff from multiple departments to refine how we will proceed. I expect to have additional information soon and will share it as available.” u

e moved here from downtown Chicago, just off Michigan Avenue, 16 months ago and thought the term “La Jolla the Jewel” was almost laughable. I thoroughly enjoy La Jolla Light and appreciate its efforts to call attention to those who are trashing and those who trying to clean it up. My almost daily exercise is listening to an audio book and walking down the length of Girard Avenue to, and along, the coast. Since moving here, we’ve been disappointed in the uneven sidewalks and strewn trash throughout La Jolla. In the center city of Chicago, with millions of residents and tourists, the sidewalks are almost immaculate. We lived right downtown for 12 years and appreciated that store owners swept and washed their sidewalks. Maybe our water shortage works against steam cleaning, but owners/tenants could at least sweep their sidewalks and pick up trash. Not many do, including dealers selling $100,00 cars. I compliment those who do. They also bemoan the lack of pride among other stores and seem to appreciate my thanks. Vons’ sidewalk along Girard from Everett Stunz to Subway is the foulest stretch in the Village. It’s a filthy, never power-washed, trash-strewn stretch. The surface is missing bricks. It is lined with five to six dead trees, fallen limbs, Cracked and missing bricks, along with trash in and unkempt and sparse the shrubs and stained cement, ruin the sidewalk hedging. In short: a disaster. stretch along Vons market. Ashley Mackin Shame on Vons. Long-time residents complain that La Jolla has changed significantly for the worse in the past 10-15 years. It’s my fervent hope that can be turned around. I appreciate your paper’s effort to help. Thanks for keeping the pressure on and recognizing those who are attempting to do so. u Larry McCracken La Jolla
La Jolla High School grad launches novel at the library
Caitlin Rother will sign, sell and speak about her novel, ‘Naked Addition,’ Nov. 19. Courtesy Photos
By Ashley Mackin New York Times bestselling author Caitlin Rother, a graduate of La Jolla High School, will sign, sell and speak about “Naked Addition” her first fiction novel, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19 at La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. “I hope people in La Jolla will enjoy reading a story that takes place in their own neighborhood,” she said, adding events in the book occur at Harry’s Coffee Shop, the hangglider port at Torrey Pines and WindanSea Beach. A longtime crime reporter, Rother centered the book on a murder, and the cop who sets out to solve it. Ken Goode, a San Diego Police Department officer hopes to transfer from the narcotics unit to homicide. He begins working relief — a way to gain experience in advance of a transfer by filling in for a regular homicide detective — and on his way to the station one day, he comes across the murdered body of a beautiful young woman in an alley. Hoping to prove his salt and solidify his
transfer, he takes the case. Readers soon discover the woman is in her early 20s and looks remarkably like Ken Goode’s mother did at that age — when she killed herself by jumping off the Coronado Bridge. “I learned all the police procedures and the ins and outs of homicide work when I was a reporter,” she said, “I worked for a newspaper during the week and attended fictionwriting workshops on weekends. “I was actually a cub reporter Caitlin Rother in Massachusetts, similar to one of the characters in the book named Norman, and I really missed home,” she said, so she wrote the book as a story featuring places she missed. In working on the novel, she received a review from crime writer Michael Connelly, whose book “The Lincoln Lawyer” was adapted into a film starring Matthew McConaughey. She integrated his suggestions,
chiefly the nitty-gritty details about police work, into the novel. Although “Naked Addiction” is the first book of fiction she wrote, it was not the first one to get published. She penned several non-fiction books explaining real-life crimes and cases, which earned her a spot on the New York Times bestseller list. “Naked Addiction” was originally published in 2007, but went out of print. With “more punch to my name now that I have other books,” and a new publisher, Rother said she hopes the revised version — which replaces fax machines and phone booths with computers — will reach more people. Riford Library branch manager Shaun Briley noted the public is invited to the launch. “Where better to launch a novel set in La Jolla than in La Jolla itself? We get a lot of La Jolla High School students in the library and I thought it could be inspirational to have a former student who has made a mark in her chosen field come to talk.” u

High School rowers race to second-place finishes From SDRC Reports
S
an Diego Rowing Club (SDRC) varsity men raced to three early season secondplace finishes in a competitive field at the Head of the American Regatta east of Sacramento last week. In posting a time of 18:17 on a rainy and wind-swept 5,000-meter course, the SDRC varsity Quad placed second only to U.S. National Champion Seattle Rowing Center in a field of 16 boats. SDRC topped reigning Youth Nationals silver medalists, Stanford Rowing Center. SDRC’s Jack Piegza (Bishop’s School), James Jacoby (Point Loma High), Cooper Ball (La Costa Canyon High) and Zander Cowan (San Diego Jewish Academy) battled wind gusts of 30 miles per hour in the morning’s hotly contested race. Coach Benton Sparks said early season results of the four rowers who traveled to compete in the regatta on the American
River are a good indication of the progress being made by all athletes of the 36-member varsity men’s team. “The entire squad has really been hitting it hard in practice this fall,” Sparks said. “These four boys got to prove why. It’s a great result for the whole team and shows that we’re moving in the right direction.” In the Junior Double, Jacoby and Cooper posted a 19:39 to earn a second place. National Champions Seattle Rowing Center took first. In the Lightweight Double, Piegza and Cowan raced to a 19:51, taking second only to a pair of 25-year-olds training for the U.S. National Team. SDRC supporters Mary and Tom Sechser hosted the athletes and coaching staff on the trip.

‘Jocko’ Marcellino looks back on storied musical career, Sha Na Na By Pat Sherman lthough the Woodstock Festival is considered by many to be ground zero of the 1960s counterculture, sandwiched somewhere between Janis Joplin’s caterwauling vocals and Jimi Hendrix’s searing guitar riffs, an unlikely band of Columbia University students billing themselves as Sha Na Na performed a high-energy set of 1950s revivalstyle rock ‘n’ roll that seemed at odds with the rest of the peace-and-love promoting bands on three-day bill. “We were a new act. This was our eighth job and we kept getting bounced (from the roster),” recalls La Jollan John ‘Jocko’ Marcellino, Sha Na Na’s founding drummer, whose new blues CD is called “Make It Simple.” “They were going to have Jimi (Hendrix) go on and close the festival — and Jimi said, ‘This wouldn’t be fair to the four or five acts that were waiting all weekend and didn’t get on.’ So, Monday morning, we got on stage right before Jimi.” Hendrix had reportedly seen Sha Na Na’s act at bar in Hell’s Kitchen and suggested they be invited to perform. “He was a very sweet guy and exceedingly helpful. I think the whole thing wouldn’t have happened without his influence,” Marcellino said, noting the $350 check for Sha Na Na’s 30-minute Woodstock set bounced. The group would later sign away its rights to appear in the 1970 documentary of the festival (co-edited by then budding auteur Martin Scorsese) for just $1.

By Pat Sherman heater students at La Jolla High School are preparing for their first production of the year under the auspices of the school’s new drama director, Marjorie Treger. Raised in junior theater in San Diego, Treger graduated from the School for the Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) in 1985 and went on to obtain her theater degree from UC San Diego in 1990. She also holds a master’s in theater from Southern Oregon University. For her first production of the year, Treger chose John Cariani’s 2004 romantic comedy, “Almost, Maine,” which features 18 actors in scenes depicting various stages of love and loss in the mythical town of Almost, Maine. “It’s an adorable, sweet play that gives me a chance to really get to know a wide variety of kids for our first outing,” said Treger, who also earned a certificate in acting from American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, and whose most recent professional directing experience includes three seasons with Theatre Aspen. “I have two stagecraft classes that are building all the sets and working on the lighting, so it’s an entirely studentdriven work,” she said. The production opens 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14 in La Jolla High’s Parker Auditorium. Treger began her teaching career building the drama department at Scripps Ranch High School, where she remained for 15 years before taking a job as a theater resource teacher in the school district’s visual and performing arts department, providing support to theater teachers throughout the district. From there, she returned to teach drama for three years at her alma mater, SCPA.

Let Inga Tell You
El Niño: The Movie
W
La Jolla Cultural Partners
ell, it looks like the muchhoped-for El Niño is going to be a no-show, and I couldn’t be more disappointed. I don’t think there is a single Californian who wouldn’t like to see the end of this really scary drought. I was really hoping we could get a good El Niñoproduced soaking à la 1982-83 or 1997-98 and be done not only with empty reservoirs and declining snowpack, but the stringent new watering rules that took place Nov. 1. My husband says that pretty soon, if we want a shower, we’re going to have to be standing in our front yard sprinklers during our seven minutes of alternate-day watering time. While pondering our absentee El Niño, I couldn’t help but reflect that despite all the eco-disaster flicks that have come out over the last decade, there’s never been one specifically about El Niños. How this is even possible baffles me. I’d therefore like to propose: El Niño: The Movie. Now, if we’re going to stay true to the genre of disaster flicks, we’d need a studly youngish (now that I’m over 50, youngish could be 40) scientist who has eschewed financial gain throughout his career in his quest for Truth. We also need a totally miscast famous actress to play the dishy
post-doc. Pamela Anderson would be good for this role as she could spend the better part of this movie out in the drenching torrential El Niño rain in a very wet T-shirt. Once we’ve got Pam, we wouldn’t need any more plot because no one would be paying attention to it anyway. But I’d feel morally compelled, for science and art’s sake, to provide one anyway. The nice thing about El Niños is that rather than have just one big disaster (like an earthquake or tornado), we could have multiple, increasingly devastating storms. Pam and The Scientist have to figure out how to stop this weather pattern before Tampa sinks like Atlantis. The equatorial Pacific waters are getting warmer and warmer, the storms bigger and bigger. But why? Pam, whose character at 23 is already a world-famous marine biologist specializing in whale sounds, knows that the whales are trying to tell us something. But what? Well, duh: Eco-terrorism of some type is obviously at work. None other than the Most Unpopular World Figure du Jour has been conducting evil underwater experiments heating up vast quantities of the ocean’s water with worldwide repercussions. When this El Niño is over, Las Vegas and Cleveland will be coastal cities. (We’d need
the obligatory shots of the President being evacuated just before White House sinks beneath the waves.) I see a series of montage shots of different countries around the world succumbing to whatever it is El Niño does to their particular climate since, annoyingly, not every climate is affected by El Niño in the same way. We’d also need the idiot insensitive bureaucrats from Washington refusing to believe Pam and The Scientist, even though Pam testifies passionately before both houses of Congress that the whales have no reason to lie. (Unfortunately, she was in such a hurry she didn’t have time to change out of the wet T-shirt so nobody listens.) So Pam and The Scientist have to come up with Evidence on their own. I kind of envision Pam doing a deep-sea version of those Shamu show dives on the back of a whale; she takes pictures that finally convince the Washington Bureaucrat/Idiots that what she is saying is true. At this point, we can call in the Marines, the Seals, run up the flag, etc. to wipe out Most Unpopular World Figure du Jour and his evil experiments. But what about all this still incredibly warm water? Another monsoon is about to clobber the U.S. (the only really important country when you get right down to it). The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) suggests dumping huge quantities of ice cubes into the equatorial Pacific to try to quickly cool it down but our Scientist comes up with a much more brilliant — but of course highly risky — solution to the problem (that I don’t know yet because I’m not a scientist but can guarantee will
Inga’s kids play in their flooded yard after 11 straight days of rain during the winter 1982-83 El Niño. be ridiculously implausible) which he and Pam single-handedly execute and save not only the U.S. but what’s left of the world! Early on, we’d learned that The Scientist had been plagued by some major, but vague, trauma from his formative years. In the process of saving Mankind (except for those dispensable countries we’d already seen float off in the direction of Antarctica), he has a personal epiphany, and in the last scene is getting nominated for the Nobel Prize, and even better, getting it on with Pam (well, just in our imaginations; that R-rating is fiscal death). My only request is that they let me write the screenplay. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

For health-conscious diners, it’s the Lean and Green Cafe By Kelley Carlson a Jolla’s Lean and Green Cafe is huge on promoting a healthy lifestyle. Boasting an entirely organic menu and a casual outdoor seating area, the eatery is a favored stop for those hitting the nearby gym and locals on lunch breaks. But it’s also a draw for people who want to improve their eating habits, with glutenfree, vegetarian and vegan options, and lean meats. The fresh ingredients from local suppliers, according to owner Vanessa Uteau, are incorporated into wraps, salads, bowls, soups, smoothies, shakes and juices. No sugars or oils are added, she emphasized: “We steam everything; it’s really lean (food).” There’s no shortage of selections with a 72-item menu, and everything can be made to preference. It starts with breakfast, served all day. “Who are we to tell you what time to eat breakfast?” Uteau said with a smile. These types of foods range from dishes with steamed eggs and several varieties of oatmeal, to “sweet bowls” of fruits and cottage cheese or yogurt and granola parfaits. There are also açaí bowls filled with the Brazilian blackish-purplish berries, bananas and soy milk. For lunch-type fare, the most popular item is the Super Bowl, according to Uteau. The dish contains brown rice, black beans, feta, mushrooms, green onions, sriracha and miso dressing. And there’s the Power Bowl with brown rice, black beans, kale, quinoa and salsa. Another entree in high demand is the Asian Chicken Salad, a mixture of romaine,

As for wraps, there are about a dozen, and one specialty that happens to include the four food groups is the Sweetness Turkey. It features baby greens, strawberries, blue cheese, roast turkey and balsamic dressing, all rolled up in a whole-wheat tortilla. Customers can build salads and wraps from scratch, as well. For a set price, they choose greens or a wrap base, then pile on four vegetables or fruits, cheese, a protein, one topping (for salads) and a dressing/ spread. More ingredients can be added for an extra cost. Lean and Green specializes in juices, too.
Gran’açaí Bowl is a blend of soy milk, bananas, açaí berries, gluten-free granola and strawberries.
They are made on demand and not bottled, designed to be consumed immediately, as exposure to sunlight kills the nutrients, Uteau said. People looking to detox may opt for the Dr. Matea, a blend of spinach, kale, celery, cucumber and lemon juice. “It’s an acquired taste,” Uteau noted, as there are no sweeteners added. For those not used to detoxing, a juice that’s easier on the taste buds is the slightly sweet Super Green with celery, cucumber, spinach and apple. Finally, there are smoothies that replenish energy and shakes to boost metabolism. An example is the Berry Fat Burner, a smooth concoction of blueberries, raspberries, vanilla favored whey protein and ice. u

Last year, when La Jolla High’s drama director of 18 years, Ann Boutelle, announced her retirement, Treger threw her hat in the ring. She said she considers Boutelle a good friend, and once spent nearly a year helping her produce an honors production of Mark Medoff’s “Stefanie Hero!” at La Jolla High. A resident of Clairemont, Treger oversees more than 120 students either directly or peripherally involved in theater at La Jolla High School. Although Principal Chuck Podhorsky said Treger came highly recommended, he said it was important to him that she be willing to form partnerships with outside cultural institutions — specifically La Jolla Playhouse — where students can be exposed to the experiences and opportunities that only a professional theater can offer. “One of the things I said in my interview is that there should be a really seamless transition between the high school and what goes on in the community,” Podhorsky said. Although the La Jolla Playhouse partnership is off to a slow start due to the company’s current production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (extended through Dec. 15), Treger formed similar partnerships while at SCPA, and has already established a partnership with the San Diego Film Festival (Sept. 24-28), during which students attended workshops on how to produce their own films. “We’re also developing relationships with The Old
Globe Theatre, hopefully having some teaching artists come in here and taking our technical theater students there to tour scene shops and costume shops,” Treger said, adding a similar partnership with Old Town’s Cygnet Theatre is in the works. “I want to make sure that our kids are getting out and seeing professional theater, seeing the different career paths available in this industry, and realizing what a cultural hub we live in here in San Diego,” Treger said, adding that Podhorsky — who began his own career with La Jolla High last year — is already proving a strong advocate for the arts. “As (author) Daniel Pink would say, an MFA is the new MBA,” Treger said, noting that a lot of jobs traditionally geared toward people with a master’s degree in business administration can be farmed out overseas. However, she said, “creative problem solving is something that you can’t really farm out. We need to train creative minds for creative problem solving — and theater certainly does that for students. It teaches self-confidence, teamwork and a work ethic. So, no matter what they do in their lives, these skills are going to transfer. “Theater kids often undersell themselves, but they don’t realize that through rehearsal they’ve learned how to be part of a team and how to work with diversity and how to meet a deadline. Come hell or high water, opening night comes opening night and we’ve got to make that happen.” Treger, who trained in and prefers teaching an “analytical method” prescribed by the likes of Konstantin Stanislavski,

Photos by Pat Sherman Uta Hagen, Stella Adler, Michael Shurtleff and Sanford Meisner, said what goes on backstage is equally as important. “The actors are not the most important (component),” she said. “It takes hundreds of people to put on a play.” Theater also helps students to be more engaged community members, Treger said. “When kids are involved in a theatrical production it helps them to be more human, more open, better listeners, better problem solvers and more creative overall,” she said. “It’s how we hold a mirror up to society and look at ourselves and feel connected. When we’re in that room
together with an audience and actors and crew, that’s a moment in time that will never be the same again — and we all share something special in that moment.” La Jolla High senior Tanner Perry, who plays Dave in “Almost, Maine” and has appeared in every La Jolla High drama production since his freshman year, touted Treger’s organizational leadership. “It’s been fantastic (working with her),” he said. “She keeps us focused and on-task and we get things done as best as we can and in as little time as possible.” Senior Melisa Conroy, who is co-directing “Almost, Maine” with Treger, said Treger’s

style is “very different” from that of former drama teacher, Boutelle, yet no less inspirational. “She is very clear to point out the parts of directing that are sometimes hidden, the things you need to see in the characters that the actors won’t see,” Conroy said. “She’s shown me so much already.” Treger said she and her students are mulling over a musical to produce at the end of March, in time to qualify for the Ben Vereen Awards, a national high school musical competition named for the Broadway star. Toward the end of the year, Treger said she hopes to forge a partnership with New York University’s playwriting program.
“They want to do a site-specific play that they’re writing specifically for high school, and we’re trying to see if that can happen here,” she said. Treger said La Jolla High’s theater space has great potential, although it’s in need of serious technical upgrades, including a lighting overhaul and deferred maintenance — something she said she welcomes the community’s help to achieve. “We’re really excited to kind of be reborn into the community and have lots of people come out and see our shows,” she said. “It’s something they can be proud of and be a part of.” u

T
Archdeacon of Notre Dame. When his dying brother plunges his infant baby into his arms, Frollo faces a dilemma. It’s not only a gypsy baby, but also one that, at first glance, is so grotesque Frollo must cover its head and look away from it. Yet somewhere in Frollo’s dark soul is a smidgeon of decorum. So he decides to hide the infant Quasimodo in the cathedral’s bell tower. Quasimodo grows up with his friends – the gargoyles — that in this production are artfully fulfilled by actual characters, who sing to him and offer solidarity. The spine-tingling music is by Alan Menken, who has delighted thousands with his music in Disney films, stage musicals and classic productions. Additional songs have been added that really bring the story to life, especially through the character, Esmeralda. Portrayed by Ciara Renée (Broadway’s “Pippin”). Esmeralda is a beautiful gypsy with the voice of an angel who bewitches Quasimodo, Frollo and Captain Phoebus (Andrew Samonsky “Little Miss Sunshine”). Renée delights throughout as Esmeralda, who must resist Frollo’s advances, decide if she can trust the Captain, and be a true

he enchanting tale of Victor Hugo’s novel “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” with inspiration from the Disney film, is now a magnificent musical production at the La Jolla Playhouse. The creative team assembled to produce the work delivered a rare bag of diamonds that when opened sparkle and shine amazingly. Scott Schwartz brings his talents from many Broadway and Playhouse to direct. Peter Parnell wrote the book. Stephen Schwartz wrote the lyrics. But before becoming totally engrossed in the woeful story of Quasimodo, the audience gets the chance to study the stage design. Imagination can only go so far, but with this set, audiences will see the Notre Dame Cathedral of 15th century Paris come to life in the footlights. Scott Schwartz and scenic designer Alexander Dodge traveled to Paris for inspiration. They turned specific assets of the Cathedral — its stained-glass windows, stonewalls, marble floors, wooden beams, four pockets for singers, and of course, the huge majestic bells — into a set anxious to reveal a story.

Owls are the smartest birds on the planet. Sadly, most owls are not particularly intelligent. Birds are not very smart in general, and most owls actually fall into the lower range of bird intelligence. In ancient Greece, owls were associated with Athena, the goddess of wisdom; one accompanied her at all times. Some people think the reason for the belief that owls are smart comes from the placement of their eyes. Their binocular vision, with eyes in the front of their heads, is similar to primates and other highly intelligent animals. There are some uncommonly smart birds, such as crows and ravens. The latter of which has been known to solve simple puzzles and use basic tools to get at food. u — animalquestions.org

Moxie Theatre stages musical tragicomedy about corporate corruption
Three Blind Mice — Enron’s Board of Directors, as seen in Lucy Prebble’s musical ‘Enron.’ Courtesy
By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Enron, the huge energy company whose name became synonymous with corporate greed, fraud and corruption, has been the subject of articles, books and a movie since its infamous downfall in 2001. But the most unusual treatment is surely Lucy Prebble’s musical tragicomedy “Enron,” premiering at Moxie Theatre Nov. 13-Dec. 7. Prebble is a young British writer who mixes dark humor with disturbing subjects. Her first play, “The Sugar Syndrome,” was a multi-award winner about the dangers of binge-eating and online chatrooms. Her second play, “Enron,” uses music, dance, masks and puppets to tell its tale of a gang of ruthless business execs whose doings rocked Wall Street and caused major power outages in California. A big hit in London, its Broadway production failed to wow New York critics, though it did earn a 2010 Tony nomination for Best Original Score. This is its West Coast premiere. Moxie, now in its 10th season, consistently features the work of upcoming female playwrights whose work defies conventional stereotypes. Prebble certainly fits that profile, and Moxie co-founder and associate artistic director Jennifer Eve Thorne, who directed “The Sugar Syndrome” in 2008, is now at the helm of “Enron.” “I happened to be in London in 2009 and got to see the West End production,” Thorne said. “I was blown away by how incredibly imaginative it was, and how impressive, especially for a second play. Young female playwrights just don’t write like this! Prebble found a tale to tell that explores how we are as humans and also explores contemporary American culture.” “Enron,” Thorne said, is built like a Greek tragedy. “It’s really about the rise and fall of a brilliant man, Jeffrey Skilling, who dares to defy the gods and pays for it. His tragic flaw is hubris (pride); that’s what causes his downfall. I think money was not the point for him; it was being the

The Enron Story ■ Enron was an American energy, commodities and services company based in Houston, Texas. Before its bankruptcy on Dec. 2, 2001, Enron employed 20,000 staff and was one of the world’s major electricity, natural gas, communications, and pulp and paper companies, with claimed revenues of nearly $111 billion during 2000. Fortune named Enron “America’s Most Innovative Company” for six consecutive years. ■ At the end of 2001, it was revealed that its reported financial condition was sustained substantially by an institutionalized, systematic and creatively planned accounting fraud, known since as the Enron Scandal. Enron has since become a well-known example of willful corporate fraud and corruption. — wikipedia one to create a whole new kind of empire.” The play calls for a cast of 37, but Thorne has 12 actors playing multiple roles. “It’s a real marathon, with lots of physical sequences,” she said. “We’re using more rap and American music, so it feels like a musical. And the thing about Prebble is she makes all the characters sympathetic. We know they ripped everyone off, hurt so many people, but she doesn’t just treat them as villains. She examines how they got to that place, because we tend to worship successful CEOs; we think they’re geniuses, and we never really question at what cost.” u n IF YOU GO: “Enron” has matinee and evening performances, Nov. 13-Dec. 7 at Moxie Theatre, 6663 El Cajon Blvd., Suite N.

Sha Na Na pose for a publicity photo in New York City in 1969, the same year they played Woodstock, going on stage just before Jimi Hendrix closed the three-day music fest. More at jockomarcellino.com Courtesy From Jocko, B1 “You couldn’t buy that kind of influence, that kind of marketing for a young act,” said Marcellino, then 19 and the second youngest Woodstock performer. Their investment paid off, launching Sha Na Na into fame as a popular touring act, opening for The Kinks, Alice Cooper and The Grateful Dead. Several then unknown artists that would go on to achieve widespread success opened for Sha Na Na, including Rush, Hall and Oats, Jay Leno and Bruce Springsteen, the latter who had just released 1973’s “Greetings from Ashbury Park, N.J.” when he embarked on a tour with Sha Na Na. “We’d sit in with the band at the Holiday Inn bar and we’d have good time,” Marcellino recalled. “Bruce was a very accessible guy.” Unlike some of their contemporaries, Sha Na Na were slightly less inclined to indulge in the era’s excesses. “We were teenagers in the late ’60s; then we lived the ’70s … like everybody else,” Marcellino said. “At the same time, we were Columbia guys. So, no matter what else we were doing, we’d say, ‘We’re going to get our degrees.’ … We had enough discipline to get things done.” Marcellino went on obtain a bachelor’s degree in English from Columbia and a master’s in drama from New York University. He has appeared in TV shows such as “Veronica Mars” and “Ally McBeal” and films such as “Rainman” and “National Security.” Original member Joe Witkin, now retired, went on to work as an emergency medical physician for Sharp Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa. Sha Na Na’s fame — credited with spurring a ’50s nostalgia craze that spanned the 1970s — landed them a role in the 1978 film, “Grease,” in which they performed as Johnny Casino and the Gamblers, contributing six songs to the soundtrack. Two years ago, during an annual Grease celebrity sing-a-long at the Hollywood Bowl, Marcellino performed the Little Richard classic, “Lucile,” with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl filling in on drums (Grohl is married to Marcellino’s niece). Sha Na Na had been playing a steady stream of festivals and college gigs in the U.S. and Europe and were ready to call it quits when they were approached by Procter & Gamble to do their own TV variety show.
“They had approached the Beach Boys and Chicago, but they all couldn’t do it, or didn’t want to do it,” Marcellino recalled. “It was really good for us, because we were a group with actors and musicians and singers and dancers and we definitely had a theme going on, so it really worked.” The internationally syndicated show ran from 1977-’81, and included musical guests such as Ronnie Spector (of the Ronettes), Cherie Currie (of the Runaways), James Brown and the Ramones, a then up-andcoming punk band also reviving 1950s music, albeit in a louder, faster way. “We were akin to what they were doing and vice versa,” Marcellino said of the Ramones, with whom Sha Na Na performed a skit in gaudy Laverne DeFaziostyle drag called “Greasers Feud.” No matter how unlikely the pairing of acts on a bill they were playing, John ‘Jocko’ Marcellino said it was all Marcellino rock ‘n’ roll at the core. “We always do ‘Jailhouse Rock,’ ‘Hound Dog’ and ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll is Here to Stay,’ ” he said. “It’s sort of a bulletproof act, because if you delivered it with good, tight harmonies and good rockin’ instrumentals, and stage it and choreograph it, we always scored with it. We never really had a problem. … The musicians got it right away. They know they go back to the blues and the blues goes back to the rhythm and blues and rock ‘n’ roll.” Like his music with Sha Na Na, Marcellino says his new CD of Delta blues and smoky rhythm and blues, featuring local blues greats Robin Henkel on guitar and Billy Watson on harmonica, is not overly complex, though “it’s music you gotta get right. “You gotta get the feeling right, you gotta get the groove right,” he said. “It’s almost mesmerizing in its repetition.” Also appearing on “Make It Simple” are bassist Will Lee of the “Late Show with David Letterman,” Steely Dan session guitarist Elliott Randall and bassist Gordon Edwards (James Brown, Etta James). Marcellino frequently performs at Tio Leo’s and Proud Mary’s Southern Bar & Grill (proudmaryssd.com), where he held a CD release party for “Keep It Simple” this week. He resides in La Jolla with his wife, Nicki Marcellino, regional vice president of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties on Prospect Street. u

Cranberries: The tart, little darling of fall
T
hose bright ruby wax-like balls herald the holiday season as they dominate the supermarket produce aisles. The quintessential fruit of fall, this tart little gem transports me back to my childhood in Canada, where our family would go cranberry picking in the Muskoka bog. The first time I clutched the crimson berry in my palm and popped it in my mouth, my brain couldn’t believe what my tongue was telling me. It was so tart it didn’t even make it down my throat. Today, I appreciate this super food, a cousin to the blueberry and one of the few fruits on the planet native to North America. While most holiday tables abound with cranberry dishes, learn to relish the mighty cranberry all year. Here’s why.
Benefits of the Bog Berry This petite-yet-potent powerhouse was recognized by Native Americans as a healing food well before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. They concocted deer meat and mashed cranberries to form pemmican as a staple food throughout the long winters, and also used the berry as an antibacterial poultice to soothe and treat arrow wounds. The low cal, fiber-rich cranberry is rife with Vitamins A for ocular health, B to put the skids on stress, immune-boosting C and blood-regulating K. It’s also packed with fortifying minerals (manganese and copper), and a rich source of antioxidants, especially proanthocyanidins with antiadhesion properties making cranberry a urinary tract’s best friend. By preventing bacteria from glomming onto urinary tract linings, cranberries knock infections off their feet. Drink unsweetened cranberry juice straight up to pack the best anti-bacterial punch when symptoms loom. Other phytonutrients provide antiinflammatory properties, particularly for mouth and gums, (to ward off periodontal disease), the colon and stomach, linked to preventing ulcers, and the cardio system (lowering blood pressure, along with the “bad” cholesterol while raising the “good”). Studies have shown cranberry as an anticarcinogenic warrior in its preventive role
against breast, colon, lung and prostate cancers. One word of cranberry warning: Those susceptible to kidney stones, check with the doc before cranberrying up.
Pick winners Make sure the berries are firm, perfect spheres — not shriveled or dented — and have a bright scarlet hue without brown spots. Cranberries can keep in their original package in the fridge for up to two weeks, the freezer for one year. Rinse berries in cold water, filtering out stems and pale, brown or mushy ones. Frozen cranberries don’t have to be defrosted before prepping.
Let’s get saucy A traditional holiday table would be naked without cranberry relish or sauce accompanying the turkey or fowl of choice. Why not expand your cranberry horizons during the holidays and beyond by adding eye candy, zip and an antioxidant oomph with fresh or dried nuggets in biscottis, scones, corn breads, cobblers, granolas, English trifles, French clafoutis, rice puddings and flans. There’s more. Dial up briskets, baked chicken, lamb roasts and grilled wild-caught salmon, stuffings, quinoa and bulgur wheat taboulis, pilafs and green salads. Finally, whet your whistle with a cranberry vodka punch, cranberry martinis, cosmopolitans or margaritas. Cheers!
A cranberry walks into a (side) bar n Athletic cranberries contain air pockets giving them the ability to not only float, but also bounce. n While some Native American tribes invented the moniker “ibimi” translating to “bitter berry,” it was the German and Dutch settlers who contrived the name “crane berry” as the blossom of the fruit resembled the head, bill and neck of the crane bird. n It’s a myth (perpetuated by Ocean Spray commercials) that cranberries sprout in water. Rather these perennial plants grow in low-lying vines or bushes in sandy bogs and marshes. u — For additional cranberry recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Irish playwright + UCSD director = Greek tragedy with new resonance By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Antigone is the daughter of Oedipus, King of Thebes (yes, THAT Oedipus), and the niece of Creon, the new ruler. Her two brothers are dead, having killed each other battling for control of the kingdom. One was buried as a hero; the other’s body is lying in the street, reviled as an enemy of the state. Creon has forbidden his burial, and declared anyone who tries to bury him guilty of treason, which is punishable by death. Antigone defies Creon’s law, buries her brother, and dies for it, but Creon does not live happily ever after. It’s a classic Greek tragedy, written by Sophocles, more than 2,500 years ago. In 2004, Nobel Prize winner Seamus Heaney, hailed for “his works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt the living past,” re-visioned the play, giving it an Irish accent and a contemporary American setting. “Burial at Thebes” premiered at the Abbey Theater in Dublin, and was subsequently turned into an opera. Fast forward to 2014, and UC San Diego’s Theater Department, where Sarah Wansley, a candidate for an MFA in directing, is presenting her version of Heaney’s play, set in a mythic land somewhere between ancient Thebes and Washington D.C. For the past year, she has been working on the project, which involves a cast of 22, elaborate sets and costumes, digital projections and live music, and runs Nov. 13-22. The themes is an ancient one — the conflict between divine law and the laws of
Antigone and Creon are played by Zakiya Markland and Toby Onwumere. man — but the spin is modern: in a post 9/11 world of drones, chemical warfare and ubiquitous media, what impossible moral decisions do we ask our leaders to make? And how would we choose between what is right and what is legal, between our country and our family, between taking a stand or settling for compromise? “I was drawn to the play at a time when Obama was dealing with rumors of chemical weapons in Syria,” Wansley said. “I was interested in exploring the problem of moral choices. Heaney set the play in his time, the Bush era; we’re moving it up a

Photos by Maurice Hewitt decade, but we’ve made very few changes in the text.” In Wansley’s Obama-era “Burial,” the Chorus has become the Press Corps, and she’s added a street-singer, who acts as a witness to events and strums out his songs on a lyre, a suitably ancient-Greek instrument. There’s even an actual river onstage. “This is the biggest production I’ve ever
done and it’s very exciting,” Wansley said. “It certainly speaks to some of the issues we’re facing right now.” u n IF YOU GO: “Burial at Thebes” runs through Nov. 22 at Mandell Weiss Forum Theatre, UC San Diego campus.

how to sell antique Jewelry As with antique furniture or fine artwork, a variety of factors help determine the value of antique jewelry. When it comes time to having your antique jewelry appraised and possibly sold, you want to be certain you do the proper due diligence to get a fair and honest evaluation. By exploring the answers to the following four questions, you will be ready to make your own well-informed decisions when selling antique
jewelry in La Jolla and San Diego County. What exactly is antique jewelry? While antique jewelry is officially defined by U.S. customs as jewelry which is over 100 years old, many estate jewelers categorize it as any jewelry made before 1930 – in other words, before the market crash that led to the Great Depression. Before this, we were still in the age of decadence and opulence. Naturally, during the Great Depression, people had to cut corners in all walks of life, and anything considered a luxury was first on this list. But before 1930, there was still a lavishness and indulgence that led to some beautiful and extravagant jewelry. That said, there was still a lot of extravagant fine jewelry made during the Art Deco Period of the 1930’s which would still be considered antique by most collectors and people in the trade,
though some purists may choose to call this jewelry “Vintage” as opposed to “Antique.” What are the periods and styles of antique jewelry? A short history lesson of the five major periods that make up most antique jewelry can help even the most novice seller determine what exactly it is they have and when or where it might have been from. -- Georgian Period (1714-1837): This jewelry period is named after King George I-IV. Georgian style jewelry is handmade and might best be described as gaudy or over-the-top extravagant. Antique Georgian jewelry often features nature-inspired designs, including leaves and birds, set with precious stones. Jewelry featuring skull, skeleton, and coffin motifs were also popular at this time.
-- Victorian Period (1837-1900): From the mid to late 19th century, there was a lot of jewelry produced, largely because of the birth of the industrial revolution and more affordable manufacturing techniques. In antique Victorian jewelry, you’ll find a lot of yellow gold, black enamel, and plenty of flowery designs – what some might consider as their “grandmother’s or great grandmother’s jewelry.” Popular antique Victorian jewelry includes charm bracelets & necklaces; glass intaglios; carved shell cameo necklaces, rings, & earrings; and “mourning” jewelry in the form of carved jet chains, crosses, pins, and earrings (jet being a type of fossilized driftwood).
