“ What we have now is a health menace.” — George Hauer
Bird Rockers fed up with coast trash, A3 Dr. Doris Howell
Parents, police meet to discuss student sexting issue, A4
George Hauer, owner of George’s at the Cove restaurant, says lifeguards and police confronted him after he walked onto the cliffs above La Jolla Cove this month. (See his letter about the incident on A14.) City officials say the public is legally permitted to tread there if they do not harass wildlife, although access has been blocked for at least a decade by a wood fence along Coast Boulevard. Pat Sherman
City to reveal Cove fence removal decision Nov. 15 in effort to thin sea lion colony By Pat Sherman erchants and residents fed up with the embarrassing stench that returned to La Jolla Cove in recent months met with government officials last week, at which time they were told that the public is free to jump the fence above the Cove and walk down onto the cliffs — a favored community solution to eliminate defecating birds and sea lions (and their smelly waste) from La Jolla Cove. Mark Dibella, managing director for La
M Eagle Scout designs donor wall at Kellogg Park, A8
Valencia Hotel said that by deterring people from walking on the rocks, the fence has created a safe haven for marine mammals and birds to colonize. “Hence, (we go) back to a question we’ve had for a year-and-a-half,” Dibella said. “Is the fence legally required to be there? They literally said during that entire meeting, ‘Anybody can hop the fence — we wouldn’t stop you.’”

Ashley Mackin
Women’s health pioneer and ‘Mother’ of hospice is honored in La Jolla By Ashley Mackin Dr. Doris Howell, founder of the Howell Foundation and the creator of hospice care in San Diego, was honored at a luncheon at the La Jolla Country Club, Nov. 6, in advance of her 90th birthday on Dec. 2. The celebration was filled with speakers from the medical community who chronicled her accomplishments and contributions to women’s health. Dr. Howell received an award from every place she studied or worked. When it came to attending medical school, she chose McGill University in Montreal, Canada because “they were enlightened” and admitted women to the school of medicine when many universities in the United States would not. On Oct. 16, Dr. Howell received a Lifetime Achievement Award from McGill University’s Medical School. See Doris Howell, A10
Repeat water line breaks raise concerns about infrastructure
Centenarian Ann Martin looks back at life in La Jolla, B1
By Pat Sherman The city began emergency replacement of 1,500 feet of underground water line on Country Club Drive this week, following three breaks in the past 30 days, the most recent of which, on Nov. 2, sent water gushing down the street, flooding a home in the 7100 block of Country Club Drive. According to Stan Medina, deputy director of San Diego’s Public Utilities
Department, the city paid the owner of the home $400,000 in damages after a previous water main break in the same section of Country Club Drive flooded the home in 2010. The city’s risk management department and other city officials are working with the owner and his insurance company to negotiate reimbursement for the current flood damage. “As a precaution to prevent further main breaks, we’re replacing
1,500 feet … going beyond (the problem area) in each direction quite a bit just to make sure that we don’t go in there and replace 300 feet, and then on the 400th foot we have another blowout and the guy gets flooded out again,” Medina said. “From what we’ve investigated and determined, the city is liable for damages to their property. We want

Bird Rock seeks trash service upgrades from the city Bird Rock
Community
Council
By Ashley Mackin After voicing concerns about the trash problem at beach outlooks, members of the Bird Rock community and property owners paying into the Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) are looking to the city to resume the trash services that were cut. Bird Rock resident and former MAD manager Joe LaCava explained that in 2009, the city cut trash pickup services at lookout points that do not have beach access as a way to save money. Bird Rock has three outlooks affected by the service cuts — at the ends of Forward Street, Midway Street and Bird Rock Avenue. As a temporary solution, residents bought trash cans and placed them at these lookouts, with pickup services incorporated into the MAD budget. The MAD has funded the pickup since 2009, though the Bird Rock Community Council has repeatedly petitioned the city to restore the service and
Garbage tends to accumulate at the lookout point on Forward Street because the trash is only picked up twice a week by the Maintenance Assessment District. Ashley Mackin AND COURTESY PHOTOS install concrete trash cans. The cans are emptied twice a week, but some citizens say that is not enough. Resident Joyce Snell explained that the cans fill up quickly, and with only biweekly pickups, that leads to overflow and trash falling out of the cans. Additionally, because the cans do not have a heavy lid, birds pull out trash, causing a litter problem. Contractors empty the cans and put in a new liner, and will pick up litter when it is right next to the cans, but do not explore the surrounding areas to pick up litter. Snell also reported that the lookout points have a storm drain, so when there is litter, it inevitably
gets into the storm drain. “This outlook brings hundreds of tourists here,” she said, “And when there is litter and full trash cans, it looks like a third world country. It’s pretty pathetic. It’s not a good showcase of La Jolla. “What I’m looking for is the city to replace the cans with heavier receptacles that have a dome on top, like at all the parks. It wouldn’t tip over; the birds wouldn’t get to it.” BRCC treasurer Barbara Dunbar, who helps manage the MAD, said she reached out to District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner to see if the city has extra concrete trash cans it could place at two of
the outlook locations. “We have an indication there are some available, (the city is) looking to see what they’ve got. If they can find some, we want them installed as quickly as possible,” she said. As they have done in past years, the BRCC reluctantly included trash pickup to the MAD budget for 2014-2015, just in case the city cannot fund the pickup services. If the city provides the heavier trash cans, MAD could still fund the pickup service, though Dunbar said she would prefer not to do that because she believes these are services the city should be covering. “Is it fair that MADs have to pay for what other areas
get as a service?” she posed. The MAD was established to help maintain the landscaped roundabouts when they were installed in 2004. LaCava explained that the community saw value in having the MAD provide extra cleaning services the city doesn’t get to, such as gutter cleaning and trash pickup. The MAD is funded by property taxes assessed on single family residences, condos and commercial property owners, and range between $90-$450 per year. Dunbar said there was initially some confusion among residents, who thought the MAD was not funding the pickup service at all. At previous meetings, residents would suggest the MAD incorporate trash pickup into the budget, not knowing it already was. However, she said, “There’s been some confusion by some people, because either more trash is accumulating faster that it can be emptied and birds are getting into trash cans and pulling stuff out,” leading to the assumption it was not being picked up. “The ultimate goal is to have the city go back to providing the trash pickup service at the designated coastal overlooks as it had done previously,” Dunbar said. “It really is a city responsibility.”

Student sexting scandal draws parents to community forum By Joe Tash Sexting, in which teens take and send sexually suggestive photos of themselves and others with their smart phones, is a serious problem that can have devastating consequences, San Diego police said at a community meeting in Carmel Valley on Nov. 7. The meeting, which attracted between 75 and 100 local parents and teens, came in the wake of an acknowledgement by police that they are investigating a string of recent incidents in which photos of underage girls have been shared by local high school students. No arrests have been made in the case, but the investigation is ongoing, said Sgt. Chuck Arnold of the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. “It appears there are students at several high schools who have pictures of other students and they have obtained them in different ways,” said Arnold. He declined to say which high schools are involved in the investigation, but said the case was triggered by a call from officials at one of the schools. “I would say that at a very large percentage of middle schools and high schools across this nation, this is a problem,” Arnold said. Thursday’s presentation by
Officer Jordan Wells, who works with juveniles and is based in the department’s Northwestern Division, was held in the gym at Cathedral Catholic High School. “We need to have this conversation, it’s difficult,” said Wells. Although teens may see the practice as harmless, it can have a number of negative consequences, ranging from photos showing up online years later to damage reputations, to causing humiliation that brings some students to the brink of suicide, he said. There are also legal implications: when a person under age 18 takes or sends a nude or sexually suggestive photo, even of him or herself, the act constitutes a crime, Wells said. Suggestive photos that may start off as a private interchange between boyfriend and girlfriend are often distributed broadly throughout schools and even end up on the Internet, where sexual predators can find them. “Now the monster is using that, looking at your child’s photo,” Wells said. “It’s going to be (online) permanently, it’s going to end up harming them.” Wells delivered a tough-love message, urging parents to monitor their children’s use of computers and smart phones, and take action
More Information ■V isit ICACtaskforce.org to learn how to protect your kids online ■ E-mail Officer Jordan Wells at jvwells@pd.sandiego.gov to be notified of the next session at which he will discuss online monitoring software for parents. San Diego police ask parents to inform their kids that when a person under age 18 takes or sends a nude or sexually suggestive photo, even of him or herself, the act constitutes a crime.
if sexually suggestive photos are found, which could include notifying authorities. Parents need to know about “photo vaults,” which are secret digital lockers on smart phones where inappropriate photos can be
hidden, Wells said. He also cautioned that photos sent on Snap Chat (a popular app that allows teens to send instant photos of themselves to their friends) don’t necessarily disappear a few seconds after they are transmitted,
as teens may believe. “The apps are out there. They open it up and it saves it automatically. Snap Chat is permanent like everything else,” he said. Arnold, of the Internet task force, said one simple step parents can take is to contact their cell phone and Internet providers and ask for assistance with their built-in parental control software. The reaction to Wells’ talk was mixed; some parents expressed concern about police becoming involved in sexting investigations at local schools, while others welcomed the message. Eden Westgarth, a mother of four, said parents like herself are concerned that students could be inadvertently caught up in a criminal case just by reporting a suggestive photo they have received. “We have to find a way to educate, not criminalize,” she said. But others said it is important for parents to hear they have an obligation to monitor and control their children’s Internet use, and to provide consequences when the rules are violated. “I think a little slap on the hand while they are under your roof can prevent more serious problems down the road,” said Mariesa Depinto, a parent of a Cathedral student.

From Cove fence, A1 So that’s just what George’s at the Cove owner George Hauer did on Friday, Nov. 1, and again on Nov. 6. Hauer, who started an online petition last year to spur city officials to address the Cove odor problem, is among a growing group of residents and business leaders — including Dibella and La Jolla Cove Suites owner Krista Baroudi — who are unified in their belief that removing the fence (or adding a gate to it) would diminish the presence of the birds and sea lions by
providing public access to the bluff. During Hauer’s first trek onto the cliffs, a local animal rights activist filmed him and sent the video to a local TV news station. On Nov. 6, when he walked onto the cliffs again, Hauer was asked by lifeguards to come up from the beach, and was questioned by three uniformed police officers. “Why are we wasting police officers’ and lifeguards’ time because some old man walks down onto the bluffs?” Hauer asked. “The seal fanatics are driving all this … and that’s who the

Tom Underwood said on Nov. 6 lifeguards were alerted to “a male that was out past the railing yelling and screaming at the sea lions, (adding that) some of the sea lions had flushed back into the ocean and some of the birds had flown away.” Though neither lifeguards nor police witnessed Hauer yelling at sea lions, Underwood said officers informed Hauer of a municipal code section pertaining to the harassment of wildlife. “That was the section he was told he could potentially have been in violation of,” Underwood said. “It had nothing to do with him being out on the rocks.” Lifeguard spokesperson Maurice Luque confirmed that lifeguards have not been instructed to keep people from walking on the rocks, “unless they’re putting themselves at risk because of breaking surf or high tide conditions … or if the lifeguards interpret their actions as being harassment of a (sea lion).” Whether or not Hauer raised his voice, he said both times his mere presence served to disperse the sea lions. “It effectively cleared the entire area — all the (sea lions), everything — proving that if we open this to humans we can take care of the problem,” Hauer said. “When human beings go down there those animals are going to leave and
Mark Dibella, La Valencia Hotel’s managing director, points across La Jolla Cove Nov. 6 to show Sheila Fortune, La Jolla Village Merchants Association executive director, rocks where children and adults search for little sea creatures, and that there were very few sea lions that day (compared with the area directly below the fence, where people assume they may no longer tread). “I rest my case,” Dibella said. Pat Sherman they’ll find another place to (create) an open-air sewer.” On Nov. 8, Stacey LoMedico, the city’s new assistant chief operating officer (formerly the director of park and recreation), issued a memo stating that city staff is conferring with the city’s risk management department and city attorney’s office to determine whether an opening and/or gate can be installed in the fence on Coast Boulevard, and will have an answer on Nov. 15. The memo, issued in response to concerns raised at the recent meeting with city officials, states, in part, that though there are no restrictions to people accessing the rocks/cliffs above La Jolla Cove, “access

On second thought, don't bake cookies for an open house!
A favorite thing for some people to recommend to entice people to like your house at an open house, is to bake chocolate chip cookies. Who wouldn't want to stay with that old familiar and pleasant smell? A recent research study was done in Switzerland (and where better to test a chocolate smell?). Researchers in this experiment found that chocolate chip cookies were one of the worst scents to use to attract people in an open house.Another research done in Washington also came to the conclusion; baked goods are a complex scent that can distract potential homebuyers instead of allowing them to focus on the house. The studies went on to say that the best smells to fill a home for an open house are simple scents such as pine, lemon, cedar, lavender or vanilla. These smells are fresh and clean, and not distracting. They will help the buyer to pay attention to the important points of your home.

is discouraged as the area can be unstable due to the erosion of the cliffs/rocks” and that, according to city municipal code, “it is unlawful to take, kill, wound, disturb, or maltreat any bird or animal, either wild or domesticated, unless the same shall have been declared noxious by the city manager and a permit issued for the killing of such noxious animals.” The memo adds that the Marine Mammal Protection Act also prevents people from harassing, disturbing, feeding or capturing sea lions, seals or birds. “We recognize that this is a significant problem and that something needs to be done,” said Alex Roth, a spokesperson for the office of Interim Mayor Todd Gloria. “We understand that very clearly. We understand that this is impacting the quality of life of La Jolla residents. We understand it’s hurting businesses there.” Though the first round of a two-part cleanup of bird excrement on the cliffs above La Jolla Cove seemed to eradicate the smell through summer, the stench returned — even after a second application of a microbial agent that digests bird guano was applied in September. The city says the primary source of the smell is no longer waste from the winged cormorants, but excrement from an expanding sea lion colony (not the seals to the south at Children’s Pool) — a problem officials say could prove more difficult and time consuming to remedy than the bird guano. Baroudi, of La Jolla Cove
Suites, said she took a friend to George’s at the Cove for her birthday last week and was shocked by how intense the smell was. Though Hauer, Dibella and Baroudi all agree that the first cove cleanup significantly reduced the smell during summer, Baroudi said the odor has gradually returned, and the second cove spraying provided no relief. “We have numerous guest complaints on a regular basis; they show up in our trip reviews,” Baroudi said. “If the odor is bad and we’re giving a tour, we lose bookings. “Just as La Valencia (which recently lost $6,000 in bookings when a guest arrived and canceled a suite and a block of rooms), we have seen people check in and check out because of the smell,” Baroudi said, adding that she and other employees at La Jolla Cove Suites routinely leave work with headaches from the stench. La Jolla Village Merchants Association Executive Director Sheila Fortune said she has developed respiratory problems since January, when the association moved into its Information Center on Prospect Street, directly above La Jolla Cove. “What we have now is a health menace,” Hauer said. “All we’re asking the city to do is to take something down (the fence) that they put up without any kind of community review.”

Mystery of Solar System’s earliest rocks explained
C
osmochemists at UC San Diego have solved a mystery about the formation of the solar system: Why stony meteorites — among the oldest objects in the solar system — contain vastly different oxygen isotopes from those of terrestrial rocks from Earth, the moon and Mars. Oxygen isotopes usually sort out according to mass. For example, oxygen-17, with just one extra neutron, is incorporated into molecules half as often as oxygen-18, with two extra neutrons. In stony meteorites recovered on Earth, the two heavier oxygen isotopes show up in equal proportions. Among ideas put forth to explain the anomaly is a physical chemical principle called “symmetry.” To test this idea, researchers recreated conditions of the early solar system by filling a hockey puck-sized chamber with pure oxygen, varying amounts of pure hydrogen and a tiny nugget of solid silicon monoxide. These are ingredients found in interstellar clouds, the starting point for our solar system. Using a laser to vaporize the silicon
monoxide, the gas reacted with the oxygen and hydrogen to form silicon dioxide, a solid that settled out as dust. When analyzed, the dust revealed a mix of oxygen isotopes that matched the anomalous pattern found in stony meteorites. — Findings appear in the journal Science.

High quality transcriptome from as few as 50 cells UC San Diego bioengineers have created a new method for analyzing RNA transcripts from samples as small as 50 to 100 cells. Heretofore, standard methods required samples of thousands of cells. RNA transcripts serve as a proxy for which genes are being expressed and at what levels. The new approach — called Designed Primer-based RNA sequencing (DP-seq) — could be used to develop inexpensive and rapid methods for diagnosing cancers at early stages, as well as better tools for forensics, drug discovery and

Generic drug treats alcohol dependence The generic drug gabapentin — prescribed for epilepsy and pain relief — appears to be safe and effective in the treatment of alcohol dependence. In a clinical trial conducted by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), 150 recently abstinent people with alcohol dependence were randomly assigned varying doses of gabapentin or else received a placebo. Over 12 weeks of treatment, the high-dose group refrained
from heavy drinking twice as often as the placebo group (45 percent vs. 23 percent) and entirely abstained four times as often (17 percent vs. 4 percent). The drug also reduced the number of drinks consumed, as well as patient reports of cravings, depression and sleeplessness associated with alcohol dependence. Gabapentin appears to work by normalizing levels of a neurotransmitter in an emotion-mediating part of the brain, thereby reducing anxiety and other stressrelated withdrawal symptoms. About 8.5 million Americans are thought to be alcohol dependent, yet less than 10 percent are prescribed FDAapproved medications for the condition, due in part to limitations of existing drugs. TSRI scientists believe gabapentin has the potential to fill this treatment gap. — Findings appear in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

Kellogg Park donor wall is Eagle Scout’s project By Ashley Mackin Workers completed the first installation phase of the long-awaited La Jolla Shores donor wall at Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores on Nov. 3. Organized by Eagle Scout Kristoff Pawinski, large metal fish engraved with the names of major donors to park improvements were put in place, with smaller fish to be installed at the end of December, honoring ”smaller” donations. The project, which received unanimous
approval from the La Jolla Shores Association, involved painting the wall a deep shade of blue, and then installing the fishes. A typical Eagle Scout project, Pawinski explained, involves landscaping with bushes, making a trail or fixing a bridge, but he wanted to do something more creative. “It was a really personal project for me because I could put in a lot of my own design. I could do a lot of my own thing
with this,” he said. The smaller fish are still being engraved with the names of donors, and Pawinski said there would be room for more fish to be installed as more donations come in. Working with the Scripps Machine Shop, the fishes were cut and engraved with a water-jet, and screwed into the wall so they cannot be removed. Below the center panel will be a La Jolla Shores Foundation panel. Pawinski said he was happy to finally see
the donor wall come to fruition as it has taken about a year. “It’s great that it came out the way it did,” he said, adding that in order to meet his Eagle Scout requirement, the project had to be completed by his 18th birthday, which is Nov. 14. “I’m going to finish up everything involved with this project,” he said, extending a sincere thank you to residents Mary and Walter Munk, who supported him in the endeavor.

New donor walls salute La Jolla Community Center supporters By Ashley Mackin Two donor walls were unveiled at the La Jolla Community Center on Nov. 1, with an appreciation party for those who’ve contributed to the burgeoning center — from the volunteers who have donated their time to the benefactors who have helped finance the center’s renovations. The walls face each other on both sides of the front entrance at 6811 La Jolla Blvd., and are decorated with engraved tiles naming key sponsors. Nearby, a plaque honoring center founder Florence Riford was also unveiled. Board of Directors CEO Ruth Yansick gave a speech thanking volunteers, members and donors. “One person makes a difference,” she told those gathered. “Florence Riford was that person, she made a difference.” Yansick also recognized specific individuals whose efforts helped with the donor wall and the center at large — a grant from Pat Rinaker and Larry Bailey funded the donor tiles; ceramic artist Laird Plumleigh crafted the tiles; County Supervisor Ron Roberts provided a $25,000 grant to replace the center flooring. To honor truly exceptional individuals, Yansick said the board hopes to launch a new tradition.

But of course, we’re honored by every gift we receive because we are a non-profit.” Walters said the center would add names to the donor wall every year as donations continue to come in for classes and renovations. “Many people think that with all the renovations to the front
entrance, we’re done, but we’re not. There are always ongoing renovations that a facility this size needs. It’s with everyone’s support that we are able to keep it up,” Walters said. For more information about La Jolla Community Center, visit ljcommunitycenter.org or call (858) 459-0831.

From Doris Howell, A1 For her residency in pediatrics, she returned to the United States and attended Duke University and worked at the Boston Children’s Hospital. In 1970, Howell was the first woman to receive the Duke Distinguished Medical Alumnus Award. UC San Diego professor David Bailey, M.D. told the gathering that in 1974, Howell was recruited to UCSD — for which, he said, “thank goodness” — in the hematology oncology division within the pediatrics department. From there, the Department of Community and Family Medicine was established, and Dr. Howell was named its first chair. “This was a tall order,” he said. “But leadership such as Dr. Howell’s knows no bounds.” Soon afterward, she determined that the most needed service in San Diego was the establishment of a hospice system. She founded the San Diego Hospice & Institute of Palliative Medicine in 1977. “She earned the title ‘Mother of Hospice,’ ” Bailey said, “And I don’t think anyone thinks of hospice without immediately thinking of Doris Howell.” She also brought about the first non-profit hospice in San Diego. However, she might be best known for the establishment of the Howell Foundation, whose mission is simple: “Keeping the women we love healthy.” Funds raised through foundation events help pay for undergraduate studies, research, and education for women in the field of family health. The foundation’s work is just one of the many reasons the Office of Interim Mayor Todd Gloria declared Dec. 2 “Doris Howell Day” in San Diego. Representing Gloria, Community Liaison Lena Lewis said, “Dr. Howell is a local medical leader who has become a role model and mentor, thanks to her combination of medical skills and kindness.” She added that Dr. Howell has made “a lasting impact on society and the overall well-being of women.” To all this, Howell said, “I cannot thank you enough times. I’m grateful I don’t wear mascara, as it would be running down my face.
Representing the interim mayor’s office, Lena Lewis (left) presents Dr. Doris Howell with a proclamation declaring Dec. 2 ‘Doris Howell Day in San Diego.’ Ashley Mackin “To have all of you recognize that I tried to give contributions to this world and to the things I love — children and women, and men occasionally — means more to me than anything. I think my heart will burst.” Speaking to the La Jolla Light, after the luncheon, Dr. Howell explained that joining the medical field — even at a time when women were not encouraged to do so — was always the plan. “As a child I dissected everything,” she said. “When I went to grade school, I was the one who stepped up (to dissect) a mouse, then a cat. I just thought it was fascinating to find out what is inside of us.”
creativity
When she needed surgery as a child, she got her first introduction to the workings of a hospital. She said that because the nurses took such wonderful care of her, she wanted to be a nurse. “I thought they are the most wonderful people. Nurses do everything for you and care about you,” she said. However, her grandmother had a different view of nurses. “Grandma said, ‘They do scutwork!’ and I thought, what is scutwork? My grandmother told me ‘Nurses have to clean up the mess (from people and in operating rooms) and we worked hard in our family to get an education, so we are not going to do scutwork. You can be a teacher or a librarian, but you cannot be a nurse.’ ” Still, the passion was there, and Dr. Howell said she knew she wanted to pursue medicine. After observing that nurses always assisted doctors and never did anything independently, she decided she wanted to be a doctor. Now it was her stepfather who did not support her plan. “He told me that as a doctor, one day I could replace a man, and that wouldn’t be fair because a man supports a family,” she recalled. “I said, ‘What if I got married and my husband died?’ ” He proceeded to ask if she wanted to get married and have children one day, telling her she “wasn’t exactly unattractive.” “I replied, ‘Who said (as a doctor) I can’t get married?’ ” she laughed. Though she never did marry, Dr. Howell had a thriving medical career and discovered the importance of educating women about their health issues. “I realized how little women knew about themselves, when you would ask a woman where she got her medical advice for herself and her family, she would say, ‘I ask my husband,’ ” she said. “Well, how does he know about what’s best for you?” Combining the two loves became her lifelong mission, and she isn’t through. The next Howell Foundation event will focus on an integrative approach to stress management, “Reducing Stress and Increasing Happiness,” in spring 2014. Find more information at HowellFoundation.org

to reimburse them fully. We don’t want them to take us to court and sue us for additional money.” Medina said there have actually been five breaks in the past five years to the water line beneath Country Club Drive, which is comprised of a concrete and asbestos material called Transite — the industry standard when the line was installed in 1953 (today’s lines are made of high-strength PVC pipe). Though Medina said the reason for the water main breaks on Country Club is still being investigated, they have each occurred at joints where sections of pipe connect — about every 13 feet, he said. Because of the street’s curvature, installation of the pipes was designed to follow the contour of Country Club Drive, and the joints had to be deflected. “Based on my experience and knowledge, the stress on the joints is just not holding out anymore,” Medina said, noting that high water pressure has been ruled out as a factor in the breaks. When joints fail, they are completely removed, and about two feet of pipe is cut from both sides of the break, and new pipe spliced in with couplings, he said. “This is probably one of the first projects that we’ve ever taken on as an emergency replacement because of consistency of joint blowouts,” Medina said.
At a breaking point
Though the frequency of breaks on Country Club seems to be an anomaly, an increasing amount of breaks, sinkholes, flooding and subsequent repairs are something residents should expect — unless the city can get ahead of its aging infrastructure and replace it in time. Medina says the city is trying to do that through its capital improvement projects program. Replacement of approximately 11,676 linear feet of water main in downtown La Jolla is expected to begin in January of 2014, including sections of Coast Boulevard, Prospect Street, Ivanhoe

The city is currently in the midst of a major push to replace what remains of its original cast iron water mains, some more than 100 years old, Medina said. The lines should be replaced by 2017. Of 553 water main breaks that occurred in San Diego between 2008 and 2012, the majority occurred in cast iron lines installed in older communities like La Jolla, public utilities spokesperson Arian Collins said.

In addition, citywide there are still 70 miles of cast iron transmission lines (which transport water between pumping stations and communities), and another mile of cast iron transmission line in La Jolla. The city is also seeing an increasing number of breaks in concrete mains such as the one on Country Club Drive — most originally installed by developers, Collins said. Medina said replacement of pipes depends on available funding and need. “The engineers look at the age of the pipe, its condition, assessments and the history of a certain pipeline,” he said.

Girard Gourmet welcomes fall with savory and sweet treats By Marti Gacioch Girard Gourmet owners Francois and Diana Goedhuys credit their one-acre organically grown garden in Julian for their bountiful harvest. Their property boasts 52 fruit and nut trees, a medley of seasonal vegetables, and herbs and spices that provide an ongoing cornucopia of fresh produce. Twice a week, Francois brings his harvest back to the shop on Girard Avenue in La Jolla, where it inspires his signature plates on a daily basis. Cooler temperatures have increased diners’ appetites for Francois’ hot homemade soups, he reports. “We use our organic greens to enhance all of our soups, which are made with our own stock that includes onions, fresh leeks thyme and rosemary,” Goedhuys said. “So our soups are heartier and healthier than they’ve ever been before.” Choices include chicken and brown rice soup, and tomato basil soup made with heirloom tomatoes from his garden. Other autumn comfort foods include homemade chicken pot pie and a Shepherd’s pie with a thin crust made of cream cheese,
Girard Gourmet’s organic garden provides a bountiful harvest for chef Francois Goedhuys’ buffet of delicious foods. Courtesy butter and stuffed with lamb, a little beef, mashed potatoes, carrots, herbs, spices and leeks on top. “We like to emphasize our garden’s organic greens in all of our dishes, including our quiches,” Goedhuys said.
His organic greens quiche is rich in goat cheese, sun gold tomatoes and a medley of fresh escarole, Swiss chard, beet greens, spinach and kale. His hearty Cowboy Quiche is also brimming with organic
greens, along with potatoes, chopped onions, red bell peppers, bacon and ham. Squash varieties also play a role in the autumn menu. “We make a wonderful banana squash soup, and I also stuffed a banana squash with a mixed vegetable curry sauce, which I’ve served as an entree,” Goedhuys said. Seasonal fruits from their garden’s trees (apple, pear, pomegranate, plum and apricot and walnut) also inspire Goedhuys’ baking talents. “I’ve been making both individual and full-size pies and tarts, like pear and apple,” Goedhuys said. “ I’ve also been making Strawberry rhubarb pie, and a lemon curd and a pumpkin pie that has poached pears and cranberries.” Goedhuys is known for the unique seasonal cookies he creates, and with Thanksgiving on the horizon, he plans to bake designer-glazed cookies in the shape of turkeys, pilgrims and Indians.

La Jolla Symphony & Chorus takes listeners to the sublime From LJS&C Reports
The weekend of December 7-8 Steven Schick leads the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) in an inspiring concert featuring Aaron Jay Kernis’ beautiful Musica Celestis (“Music of the Heavens”) for string orchestra, the world premiere of a lush work for large orchestra and chorus by Paul Hembree, Ikarus-Azur, and Maurice Ravel’s opulent ballet Daphnis et Chloe. “Daphnis et Chloe has been on my short list for several years, and we’ve found the perfect home for it here,” said Schick, conductor and music director. “We will perform the complete ballet scored for orchestra and chorus in all its magnificence and color.” The second concert in a season themed “Life*” (with individual concerts named for the varied aspects of life), the December performances are titled “utterly ecstatic.” “It really will be that,” Schick confirmed. Musica Celestis is one of the most frequently performed works by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Aaron Jay Kernis. Completed in 1991, it is based on the medieval concept of heavenly music that suggested “singing of the angels in praise of god with no end.” The work originated from a piece the composer scored for string quartet (by the same name), and expanded to string orchestra one year later. Musica Celestis has been described as being in the vein of Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings, with hints of English pastoralism, and the simplicity of some
of Beethoven’s later works. Paul Hembree, doctoral composition student of Roger Reynolds at UC San Diego, describes his IkarusAzur as a “musical response to humankind’s ambivalent relationship to both nature and technology … the sublime, that pleasurable sense of terror when faced by forces more powerful than any single human.” The work synthesizes poetry by Mellarmé, Benn, Thoreau and Aeschylus into an emotionally-charged narrative. The program concludes with a complete performance of Ravel’s opulent ballet Daphnis et Chloe, scored for large orchestra, chorus, wind machine and vast percussion
battery. This is considered to be Ravel’s most passionate work, with extraordinarily lush harmonies. The performances take place Dec. 7 and Dec. 8 in Mandeville Auditorium at UCSD. Concert times are 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. A lecture is offered one hour prior to concert times. Individual tickets are $29 general, $27 senior, and $15 student. Parking is free. To purchase tickets or for information, call the LJS&C office at (858) 534-4637 or lajollasymphony.com The Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support the La Jolla Light.

M
y prized trophy from more than 30 years in local journalism is a framed cartoon, a going-away gift from the editorial staff of the La Jolla Light. Up in celestial clouds, Jesus is
holding a phone receiver to his ear. The son of God is obviously nonplused by the cool reception he’s receiving below. Down on Earth, I’m sitting at my desk speaking on a land line: “The Second Coming? A great scoop, I admit, but tell me, how does it relate to La Jolla?” The Light-hearted joke, of course, is that no matter how big a story might be, it isn’t news if no La Jollans are in the picture. Back in those green salad days, when clunky Kaypros were the “word-processor” rage, our readers — from Jonas Salk to Dr. Seuss to the grown-up Pump House Gang — knew full well what was news in the world. But they didn’t have a clue what was going on in La Jolla until they saw the Light. This sense of exclusivity, both in reporting and advertising, defines
OUR READERS WRITE
Is all fair and forthright in mission to clean up the Cove stench? I was one of the participants in the staff meeting last Wednesday regarding the seal (sea lion) issue in La Jolla. At that meeting, it was made clear to us that no city people would get involved if we went down to the bluffs and that no section of the coast was off-limits to any citizen. However, last Friday I took my first visit down there and began my relationship with the effective and determined seal (sea lion) advocacy group. They videoed my jaunt and sent it to Channel 10. I repeated my fence jumping Nov. 6. This time the reaction was significantly different. Within minutes the guard on duty called me off the bluffs. He and three other lifeguards politely asked me not to do this again, as it turns out, for good reason. Within seconds of my going over into the bluffs, the 9-1-1 calls began to deluge the station, creating an emergency atmosphere at the Cove. Three police officers arrived to explain to me what happens when an incursion takes place. By the way, all city staff was enormously respectful and well informed. As a logical person, it seems odd to me that I commanded the attention of seven of San Diego’s finest because I walked on the bluffs. Frankly, it appears that a small handful of fanatical seal lovers are controlling the operations of city staff. Isn’t it illogical that that kind of squeaky wheel holds that much influence over your people and the police department? Apparently, there is one woman who drives this effort. I do not know who she is, although everyone else knows her. I have to admire how she has created the ability to control the actions of the very people who are hired to safeguard people, not seals (and sea lions). George Hauer Proprietor, George’s at the Cove
the local heroism of weeklies. It’s why many have survived recessions, declining revenues and leaner staffs. (In the mid-’80s, when I was editor and Phyllis Pfeiffer the publisher, an all-paid Light could run 56 pages of broadsheet. Today, it’s much smaller — and free. But it’s publishing with a profit.) When U-T San Diego announced last week that it was buying eight weeklies, including the Light, I felt a surge of acute nostalgia. In the past two years, much of the U-T’s innovative energy has been directed at launching a TV station and reaching online readers. And yet the U-T now appears to be hedging its bet with a string of established weeklies and promises to expand to other markets, including Coronado. When I was growing up on the
Do we really know true cause of Cove stench? The odor from the cliffs of La Jolla is a major concern, but determining the culprit might make the solution easier. To my knowledge, no one has detected a smell at the Children’s Pool where as many as 200 harbor seals haul out. I believe harbor seals poop in the water. I also have seen sea lion haul outs with no odor and no poop. Don’t sea lions poop in the water? If they do that, this would leave pelicans and cormorants as the only culprits. With all of the marine biologists here in La Jolla, could someone ask the right person so that we attack the right problem? Art Cooley La Jolla Editor’s Note: Search for “sea lions pooping” on YouTube and you can view videos of sea lions defecating both in the water and on land.
A reef would solve seal vs. human struggles at the Children’s Pool I wonder if anybody has proposed the idea of building a small, artificial reef/man-made island and moving the seals a few hundred yards inside the ocean. This would provide a true solution to the problem and it would ensure the safety of the children and swimmers in La Jolla, while keeping the sharks and the seals in their own habitats and protecting these marine mammals from having to share a space that belongs to human habitation and must be maintained safe for human health.

Island, the Coronado Journal (now the Eagle & Journal) was to the San Diego Union what home cooking was to cuisine. It’s where you went for comfort news. The Journal was where my father’s and mother’s obits ran, not in the Union. A good weekly is an island, entire of its community, not part of the main. No one knows exactly what the media future will look like, but maybe it’s not going to read like pure science fiction after all. In print, the U-T appears to be adopting a tried and (one hopes) true model along the lines of the Orange County Register and the Contra Costa Times: A daily battleship supported by a convoy of weeklies that, lacking a local connection, would hold fire on the Second Coming.
banning humans from the Children’s Pool during pupping season so the seals can procreate in peace, while on the other hand, they are discussing ways to get rid of the sea lions at the Cove because of the stench. So where do you suppose an intelligent Cove sea lion is going to go, if not to the Children’s Pool? Nothing like shifting the problem to another location. Well, at least we know that the new $3 million lifeguard station at the Children’s Pool will have plenty to do keeping the peace between the current seal population and the soon-to-be newcomers.

City needs to increase its trash patrol stops I need to get this off my chest and hope someone from the City of San Diego will read this. Who empties the trash cans by the bus stops in La Jolla? For the last few weeks, I’ve been observing the trash can at La Jolla Boulevard and Nautilus Street (west side) accumulate so much trash that is overflowing. I just came from picking up the trash around the can, and also emptying the can, and I will not disgust you with what I picked up. Also, although I’m very grateful the city did some tree trimming on Nautilus Street, I witnessed workers blow the leaves under a car and then leave, instead of sweeping up or even blowing the leaves into a pile and picking them up with a shovel. These are a couple of problems the city should address. Mary Flesner La Jolla

From Cove fence, A6 County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health, told La Jolla Light a posted health advisory at La Jolla Cove last month was due to the presence of Enterococcus bacteria, which he said was “relatively low, but above state standards.” McPherson said it is difficult to tell what the source of the bacteria was. “It could have been birds; it could have been sea lions; it could have been a lot of things. “We haven’t seen any chronic conditions at La Jolla Cove due to sea lions,” McPherson added, though noting the county takes weekly samples at La Jolla Cove from April 1 through Oct. 31, but doesn’t test the water there during the winter due to state budget constraints. The county does take weekly tests during winter at 15 of the 40 beaches it monitors. “We always have the option to increase, decrease or change water sample (patterns) during winter months,” McPherson said. “If we thought public health was an issue we would definitely look at it (testing La Jolla Cove during winter).”
Proposed solutions
Bill Harris, head of the city’s Transportation and Storm
Water Department, said the city is looking at “anything and everything” to solve the problem, “within the bounds of what we’re allowed to do.” Those options include: n Treating the sea lion waste with the same microbial foam used to treat the bird guano (though city officials feel it is not a viable solution due to the volume of sea lion waste and frequency with which it is deposited on the rocks); n Legally harassing the sea lions with amplified noise such as dogs barking (as allowed in certain circumstances under a provision of the Marine Mammal Protection Act); n Using native plant species that produce a smell that repels sea lions. Meanwhile, District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner is “pushing hard” for the formation of a coastal management plan her office would spearhead to “help address the proliferation of sea lions, seals and birds,” and will make it a budget priority, said Jill Esterbrooks, her communications director Baroudi said a solution had better come fast. “Nobody’s going to sit by and let this continue any longer,” she said.

OBITUARIES
James A. “Bud” Byerly 1920 – 2013
Bud Byerly passed away peacefully at home on November 3, 2013, just weeks away from his 93rd birthday. Bud was born in 1920 in Owosso, Michigan. He attended Cranbrook Academy in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and then the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor where he was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He excelled in track and field before graduating in 1943. He then went to officer training school at Notre Dame and, as an ensign, served in WWII. After the war Bud attended Babson Business College in Boston and shortly thereafter took over his father’s business, The JA Byerly Co., a grocery chain of some 44 stores in Central Michigan. In 1951 Bud met and married Doris Brown. Bud and Brownie then settled in Owosso where their four children were born. Bud sold his business in 1959 and the family moved to La Jolla, California, where
he purchased a Piper Airplane dealership and sold helicopters. As a former pilot he was able to fly both fixed wing and helicopters. He also became a Real Estate Broker in California where he bought and sold both residential and commercial real estate. In 1968 the family purchased a vacation home in Sun Valley, Idaho, where they enjoyed skiing and fly fishing in the summers. Bud and Brownie decided to retire and settle permanently in Idaho in the early 80’s. Sadly, his son Bruce preceded him in death on May 13, 2013. Bud is survived by his wife of sixty-two years, Doris; their children, Jim, Tom (Alyse) and Amy (Peter) Aiello; as well as his beloved grandchildren, Evan Byerly of La Jolla, Bridget and Nickolas Aiello of La Jolla, and Jake and Stewart Byerly who reside in Oregon. We will remember his endearing sense of humor, his appreciation of art and design, and his endless pursuit of trying to organize the garage—but most of all we will remember his devotion to family and the great joy he found in family gatherings. His smile on such occasions was constant and infectious, as were his witty vocals and spirited harmonica playing. He always loved to just jump in the car and take a scenic drive. Here’s to a long and dreamy drive down a country road Dad, we love you. Donations can be sent in Bud’s honor to Silverado
told La Jolla Light the robbers unsuccessfully attempted to break in through a side door before smashing the front window. The thieves tipped over and smashed a standalone display case filled with four or five Breitling Bentley watches valued at $500,000 to $100,000 each, which the dealership was selling on consignment. San Diego Police Northern Division Captain Brian Ahearn said police are trying to confirm whether surveillance video is available to assist with the investigation.

Frank John Dore Jr. 1924 – 2013
Frank Dore Jr., was that brilliant rocket scientist you always hear about. He died Saturday, November 9, 2013, with the joyful hope of joining his wife of 57 years, Nelly Reeves Dore, in Heaven. Frank was born December 14, 1924, to Frank and Harriet Dore and grew up in Whittier, CA. He graduated from the California Institute of Technology in 1945 as an aeronautical engineer; married Nelly and they settled in La Jolla, CA, in 1952. They raised three children there who survive them now; Katie Cho who lives in Palo Alto, CA, Mike Dore who lives in Cottage Grove, OR, and Jeff Dore who lives in Atlanta, GA. He is also survived by seven grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren. Frank, whose friends
called him Hank, was a key manager in the creation of the Atlas missile, calculating thrust, trajectories and orbits with slide rules to put the first American astronauts into space. He became the lead engineer at General Dynamics for envisioning the future of space transportation. He taught his children to love humor, body surf, fly kites, drive cars, survive ocean waves on reefs, love travelling and eventually to be good parents through his example. When their teenage transgressions warranted the threat, “just wait ‘til your father gets home,” the children knew all would be well. He is home now, and all is well.

Margaret “Peggy” Howell 1926 – 2013
A co-founder of Friends of County Animal Shelters (F.O.C.A.S.) and active community volunteer, Mrs. Howell lived in La Jolla for 78 years. She attended The
Bishop’s School, received a B.A. from Hollins University and an M.A. from Stanford. She worked on the China desk in the fledgling CIA before marrying fellow Stanford graduate, Dr. Frank Howell. They returned to La Jolla, where her husband set up a lab and practice in Oral Pathology and she raised four children. She served on several boards, including La Jolla Country Day School and The Bishop’s School and was active in the Junior League of San Diego, the UCSD Library, and The Wednesday Club. However, it was her passion for animals, particularly homeless dogs and cats, that became her life’s work. Mrs. Howell became known as one of San Diego’s leading animal advocates and a visionary leader in the animal movement. She was predeceased by her husband of 56 years and is survived by four children, Ruth Howell of La Jolla, Susan Mallory of Los Angeles, Amy Howell of Hammonton, NJ, and John Howell of Washington, DC; and three granddaughters. A memorial service will be held at St. James by-the-Sea on Saturday, November 16, 2013, at 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the F.O.C.A.S. program at Rancho Coastal Humane Society, St. James by-the-Sea, and The Bishop’s School.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: La Jolla Country Day School Torreys 3, The Bishop’s School Knights 1
Torreys avenge earlier loss to Lady Knights, 3-1 By Ed Piper The La Jolla Country Day women’s volleyball team avenged an earlier loss to crosstown league rival The Bishop’s School Nov. 7, spoiling the host Lady Knights’ Senior Night, 3-1. The Torreys won three straight sets after dropping the first one to send both teams into CIF playoffs beginning this week. Six-foot senior hitter Raeann Greisen powered Bishop’s to a 25-20 initial win. But then the Torreys, behind hitter Arela Williams and setter Annie Hasselmann, roared back to upset the sixth-ranked Lady Knights, 25-20, 26-24, 25-21, in the final three sets to win the match. In the pivotal third set, with each team splitting the first two sets, Country Day lost a 20-18 lead to fall behind 23-21. But then the Torreys regrouped to force a timeout called by Bishop’s coach Tom Mattox with Country Day leading 25-24, finally winning that set 2624 on a smash by Williams off the block. “I was just thinking, ‘Stay calm, don’t get nervous. Just do your job, and just go back to the basics,’ ” said Arela Williams. The 5-foot, 8-inch Williams plays effectively at the net against 6-foot opponents because of her explosive leaping ability and timing. Bishop’s, playing with poise even while losing ground to the visitors, didn’t go quietly in the fourth set. An initially loud student cheering section, by now somewhat muted, exhorted their team to come back from being down 23-15. Sophomore setter Camille Stepanof, who ended up with 26 assists, and outside hitters Jayda Howard, Abby Bertics and Ashley Peng, were effective, among others. The Lady Knights scored six straight points. Meanwhile, Country Day coach Peter Ogle called two timeouts to push reset. Hasselman’s lefthanded spike to make it 25-21 was the final nail in the coffin.

Greisen recorded 23 kills in the Lady Knights’ losing effort to the Torreys, 3-1. Ed Piper unable to play earlier in the season, said: “We fought really hard. We were really ready to come out and win because of last week’s game (losing to Bishop’s at home). We really wanted to prove that we could beat them.” Said Greisen, a senior captain: “(The third set) was a key moment. If we had won that, it probably would have changed the whole match. We fought, and both sides got some lucky calls. It was a battle. It was fun to be part of.” Mattox used l2 of the 14 active players on his roster in the first two sets, an unusually high number, in a sport that puts only six players on the floor at one time. Bishop’s seniors honored before the match, besides Greisen, included defensive specialist Kelly Vogel, middle blocker Reyna Haile, and Erin Hook, who has a broken metatarsal bone in her right foot and hobbled out onto the court in the pregame ceremony on crutches. “We just played really well,” LJCD coach Ogle said. “Actually, the last three matches we played really well. It’s fun. It’s a good time to be playing well (entering playoffs).”
Said Mattox, who was smiling afterward despite the loss after being vocal to his girls during the match: “It was a fun match. Both teams fought hard. We have a lot of respect for them. I thought they out-defended us at the end a little bit. Hey, when you out-defend us, you have to respect that and they deserve to win. I thought our kids played hard. I was proud of their effort.” LJCD freshman middle blocker Shaney Lipscomb said about her senior teammates: “Honestly, they’re some of the greatest girls. They have brought me in, not like I’m a freshman, but like a teammate.” Bishop’s (7-3 in the Coastal South conference, 21-11 overall) opened CIF Division II first-round playoff action Tues., Nov. 12, versus Santana. LJCD (6-4 in league, 20-11 overall), playing in the Open Division, opens its CIF playoff action Sat., Nov. 16, at La Costa Canyon at 5 p.m. n Game stats — Kills: Bishop’s – Greisen 23, Gretchen Cash 12.

Registration opens for 2014 La Jolla Youth Baseball season n Sign up online at LJYB.org through Jan. 12, 2014 By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball
San Diego Padres sponsors the uniforms for La Jolla Youth Baseball and every player in the league — from Shetland through Pony — will wear authentic Padres jerseys and caps representing various eras throughout Padres team history. Courtesy
Registration is underway for La Jolla Youth Baseball’s 2014 season. Since 1952, LJYB has been helping kids learn the game and develop the skills needed to play. LJYB’s goal is to provide organized recreational baseball played in a healthy, competitive spirit with an emphasis on skill development, teamwork and sportsmanship. As a non-profit organization, LJYB depends on many generous community volunteers and donors, who help make youth baseball in La Jolla possible. For the third year, LJYB will continue its partnership with the San Diego Padres. Through its Youth Baseball Initiative, every player in the league — from Shetland through Pony — will again wear authentic Padres jerseys and caps representing various eras throughout Padres team history. In addition to LJYB, the Padres are outfitting 16,000 kids throughout the region in Padres gear. Assessments are planned for the last weekend in January. Teams will be formed and practices begin in February. Opening Day is Saturday, March 1, 2014. The regular season and playoffs continue through
Memorial Day and post-season tournaments and All Stars continue into the summer. Registration occurs online at LJYB.org through Jan. 12, 2014. Players division is determined by their age as of April 30, 2014: Shetland (ages 5-6), Pinto (ages 7-8), Mustang (ages 9-10), Bronco (ages 11-12) and Pony (ages 13-14). The cost is $205 and includes about 20 games and 40 practices over the course of the season. Shetland is $185 due to fewer games at that level. At the LJYB annual meeting in September, president Jim Benham reviewed the 2013 season with members in attendance, including financial and facility operations, tournament results, and the slate of new board members for election to three-year terms: Mark Bale, Brian Canino and Aaron Roberts. Continuing board members are Jim Benham, Chris Coleman, Anthony Musante and Bo Solis. Five new division presidents were introduced: Charles Hartford (Shetland), Walter Birnbaum (Pinto), Cindi Stratton (Mustang), Geoff Longenecker (Bronco) and Tom Murphy (Pony). Benham closed the meeting by thanking three outgoing board members for their years of service: Jim Duffy, Brian LaGrange and Tom Murphy. The board held its first meeting of the 2014 season in October. —For information about La Jolla Youth Baseball, e-mail email@LJYB.org and visit LJYB.org

Ann Martin, 104, misses the La Jolla of her prime Editor’s Note: As part of La Jolla Light’s 100th publishing anniversary this year, we are featuring interviews with fellow centenarians throughout 2013.

By Ashley Mackin lot has happened during the last 100 years. Henry Ford invented the moving assembly line for automobile production. Man landed on the moon. The Beatles released “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” The Internet debuted. But for 104-year-old retired nurse Ann Martin, the most remarkable thing she has ever seen came from the medical field. “The first thing I saw that I couldn’t believe was an organ transplant. I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was the most marvelous thing that ever happened on Earth.

La Jolla Centenarians It was unreal,” the longtime La Jollan said recently at a café in Pacific Beach where she and her son, Clark, met with the La Jolla Light. “You had to be able to know what next instrument (the surgeons) were going to need, so you had to watch them very carefully and you had to be quick, too,” she said. The first heart transplant in the United States was in 1968 at Stanford University.

Fishing boat at Cove is tagging bass for sustainability study By Will Bowen n three occasions in late October, the Seaforth sport-fishing boat, Sea Watch, was spotted by astonished swimmers, divers, kayakers and shore onlookers, as its crew fished in the marine reserve that surrounds La Jolla Cove, where for the past 40 years fishing has not been allowed. It was all perfectly legal, however, because the fishing boat, skippered by Captain Kris Kaprow was on a Fish and Wildlife-approved scientific research project, headed up by Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) graduate student Lyall Bellquist. Bellquist, a graduate of Torrey Pines High School, was awarded a $240,000 grant to study and tag bass in and around the marine reserves from Imperial Beach to Oceanside. So far, Bellquist has made some 40 trips on sport boats and numerous other excursions on smaller power boats to catch and tag 7,000 calico bass and 2,000 sand and Determine the spotted bay bass. “I grew up in San Diego and loved population and to go fishing as a kid. My education movement patterns taught me to think more seriously about the bays and the ocean so of bass, which are that we could make sure it was the most important sustainable for the future,” she said. In addition to tagging bass, Bellquist recreational fish has been taking tissue samples and measuring other species of fish, such as along the coasts.

La Jolla Cultural Partners
n one of my favorite wishful fantasies, every doctor in La Jolla cold-calls his office and experiences the response a patient gets from his staff. He’d have to disguise his voice, of course, otherwise they’d be uncharacteristically helpful. OK, I realize this is an unfair slam of all medical offices. In fact, we have been under the care of physicians who actually invite you to contact them by e-mail — and even more incredibly, answer. We have dealt with doctors’ offices who, when you request a copy of the labs, actually send them. The first time! We have interacted with office help who don’t act like your sole purpose in calling is to annoy them and who even get back to you if they say they will. And to all of these people, we are so grateful we almost cry. No, we DO cry. With two exceptions, we’ve been lucky to have excellent medical care over the years and the practices we deal with are all busy. So why do some medical offices work so well and others so abysmally? Now, I realize that one of the purposes of front office staff is to run interference for the doctor. One presumes, in fact, that they are following his or her instructions.
It also seems equally clear in some cases that he has sent them to the Mean Girls School of Medical Office Management where they are taught Surliness 110, Stonewalling 220, Terminal Ennui 330, and How to Frustrate Patients to the Point of Coronary Thrombosis 440. A friend of mine uses the wonderfully descriptive term “deafed out” to refer to office staff, who after she had a serious reaction to a newly prescribed drug, failed to ever pass on her messages to the doctor. They just kept telling her not to worry about it. She finally ended up in the ER. She says she has long suspected that this office works on the premise that if you ignore patients’ calls long enough, they’ll die and stop bothering you. Given how often our insurance, and therefore doctors, have changed over the years, we always request a copy of every lab or test result for our records. Some offices cheerfully hand them over (or post them on a portal). Others just try to tell you that if you didn’t hear from the doctor, everything must be OK. Um, fine, but I still want a copy. Others treat lab results like national secrets that pretty much any other person on the planet can
see but you. They insist that the doctor has thought they were uncooperative before? I to OK it before they will (never) send it to always fear they keep a running list tacked you.

Golfers’ share tasty secret: the Lodge’s pub-style Grill By Kelley Carlson t seems like there’s always something brewing at The Grill at The Lodge at Torrey Pines. From special nightly beer-and-food pairings to quarterly dinners and other events, Chef Daniel Boling is constantly concocting couplings for the best possible enhancement of flavors, often turning to local companies for inspiration and ingredients. “There are not too many restaurants like us devoted to beer,” he said. Boling works within the restaurant’s retro Americana concept to create his menu, setting it apart from the neighboring higher-end counterpart, A.R. Valentien. But while The Grill is casual, it still offers fine dining quality and service. “This is one of those places where you can come in wearing shorts and sandals and still feel comfortable,” Boling said. It’s an idyllic spot to leisurely watch the sunset, perhaps while sipping a cocktail. The patio, which is adjacent to the practice putting green and starter’s clubhouse of the golf course, provides a panoramic view of the expansive lawn. As the weather turns chilly, people pull up chairs by the fire pit. From 6 to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, a local musician plays everything from classic pieces to tunes by The Beatles. Patrons are welcome to dine in the bar, where they can watch sporting events on TVs and admire a moose-head sculpture. The main dining room’s setting is rustic with wood accents — a tribute to the early 1900s California Craftsman Movement —

and picturesque paintings add touches of color. An open kitchen with bar-style seating promotes customer-staff relationships. Customers are treated to farm-to-table fare, much of it served family-style. The experience begins with complimentary house-made potato chips and a three-onion dip for those who dine after 5 p.m., although the appetizer can be specially requested at lunch time. The Grill is known for its burgers. One specialty patty is the Drugstore Style Hamburger with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and mayo on a sesame-seed bun. But the restaurant is also renowned for its craft brew selection, which Boling pairs nightly with entrees made from fresh ingredients. One pairing example is the Steamed Mussels, enjoyed with Orange Avenue Wit

A seasonal version of the mussels includes bacon, roasted Brussels sprouts and butternut squash in a broth of Orange Avenue Wit, which is light like Hefeweizen, and topped with toast slices fried in bacon butter. Another combination is the signature Brook Trout Amandine with New English Brewing Co.’s Special Brown Ale. The trout is dressed with brown butter, lemon and almonds, and rests on a bed of fingerling potatoes and green beans. The ale is dark (due to the roasting of malts) and isn’t overly heavy. Then there’s the New York Strip, a play on steak frites. The certified steak’s slices are in a creamy peppercorn sauce, and flanked by fingerling potatoes fried in duck fat and

arugula salad with sherry vinegar. To accompany the meat, there’s the rich Hangar 24 Chocolate Porter, and the Ale Smith Grand Cru, a well-balanced heavy beer with 10 percent alcohol that has been aged in old cabernet barrels and therefore has a bit of red wine characteristics. Quarterly beer dinners are also on tap, in which The Grill “buddies up” with local microbreweries to present a four-course meal, each with a different kind of ale. The cost is $75; reservations are required. A family-friendly “beer” beverage is Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer Float with vanilla bean ice cream. Those who arrive at The Grill early in the day are treated to fare such as French toast, egg dishes, pancakes, waffles, fruits and cereals. Soups, sandwiches and salads comprise the majority of the lunch menu.

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Last April, the acclaimed chamber group, Art of Elan, gave its first, sold-out, one-night-only performance at Lux Art Institute in Encinitas. Now, on Nov. 21 and 22, they will return to Lux with two nights of lively and uncommon music by a trio of composers: Heitor Villa-Lobos, a Brazilian; Sergei Prokofiev, a Russian; and John Corigliano, a 75-year-old New Yorker whose work includes an Oscar-winning film score for “The Red Violin,� a Grammy Award for “Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan,� and a Pulitzer Prize in Music for his “Symphony No. 2.� Also on the program is a medley
Art of Elan co-founders, Kate Hatmaker and Demarre McGill, bring two nights of uncommon music to Lux Art institute Nov. 21 and 22. of Armenian folk songs, making for a delightfully eclectic evening of international sounds. The hourlong concerts will take place in Lux’s studio, preceded by a reception with the musicians and Lux’s resident artist of the month, Melora Kuhn.

background for Elan’s music. A painter who draws her themes from history and myth, Kuhn alters images to reveal different patterns of thinking, creating a world where classical and contemporary forms coexist — not unlike A of E’s preferred style. This is the busiest November yet for Elan co-founder Kate Hatmaker, a violinist with the San Diego Symphony, who just returned from the Symphony’s grand tour, performing in New York’s Carnegie
Hall and three cities in China. After the Lux programs, Art of Elan moves on to its regular venue, the San Diego Museum of Art, on Nov. 26, for the second in a series of “Reflections� concerts. Besides fine art and music, Lux has something new to crow about this month: they were chosen to design and create ornaments for California’s tree, part of the 2013 National Christmas Tree display in Washington, D.C.

FROM 100 YEARS OLD, B1 Martin was originally educated in Orange County, earning a nursing degree. Her son, Clark McEwan, is quick to note that she was one of the first nursing graduates from the area. She continued to get her surgical training in San Francisco. With a husband in the military, Ann and her family moved throughout the country before settling in La Jolla in the 1940s. She worked as a nurse at the former Scripps Hospital and Metabolic Clinic when it was located on Prospect Street, until it relocated in 1964. In her later years, Martin worked at various doctor’s offices — “wherever I was needed” — around La Jolla. “I liked what I was doing and I relished it,” she said. “I was so happy when I could do something good for a patient. I knew what the doctors wanted, how far they had progressed, so I could assist in the most efficient way and I was able to help.” Martin does not recall a time when she was doubted for her
“
When we first came to La Jolla, I thought it was the jewel of the whole world. La Jolla isn’t La Jolla to me (anymore). It’s not as friendly as it used to be. It used to be so pleasant. Everybody said hello. It’s more commercial now than it used to be. And it’s getting — Ann Martin more and more so.
”
gender. However, she reports there were very few women in the surgical field when she started. “I did my work and that was it,” she said. In her free time, she volunteered at La Jolla High School, where her two sons attended and her husband coached sports. Joking that his mother was “the one always in the stands cheering,” Clark McEwan said his father, Chuck McEwan (now deceased), coached football, baseball and track. Martin recalled working at what was once a senior care facility that
104-year-old La Jolla resident
overlooked the school, so even if she was working, she could watch the games on the home field. After Chuck McEwan died, Ann married Irving Martin. Irving passed away four or five years ago. Despite the loss of two husbands and one son, Martin said she is at peace with her life. “I’m perfectly happy; I did everything I wanted to do.” This included some extensive travel. While married to Chuck McEwan, the twosome spent a year in Europe, driving around in a Volkswagen Bug. They visited central Europe,
including Italy and Scandinavia. She said she enjoyed wandering the streets of Europe, too. “Every place was different, nothing was outstanding, because it was all different in its own way,” she said. “People from each country had their own method of doing things and the buildings were different. It was quite an education.” That worldly experience gave her something with which to compare La Jolla, which in the early years, received Martin’s glowing review. “When we first came to La Jolla,

I thought it was the jewel of the whole world,” she said. However, right around the time the hospital moved to its new location, Martin said La Jolla changed. “La Jolla isn’t La Jolla to me (anymore),” she said. “When the hospital left, a lot of industry left and people left. It’s not as friendly as it used to be. It used to be so pleasant. Everybody said hello. People enjoyed things more. It’s more commercial now than it used to be. And it’s getting more and more so.” She also said La Jolla “doesn’t have the personality it once did.” Clark McEwan said his mother’s active mind and daily activities could be the secret to her longevity. At home, she likes to maintain her garden and clean her house. “I clean one room at a time, and by the time I’m finished cleaning, it’s time to start all over again,” she laughed. Martin was born in Czechoslovakia and came to the United States when she was very young. Ironically, she does not think she was born in a hospital.

Four candidates in the lead for San Diego mayoral race By Elizabeth Marie Himchak A year after San Diegans voted for a mayor, they are heading to the polls to repeat the process. The special election to determine who will serve out Bob Filnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remaining term will be Tuesday, Nov. 19. If no candidate receives a majority of votes, the two leading candidates will be in a run-off early next year. There are 11 names on the ballot, but recently Bruce Coons withdrew. Of the front-runner candidates for the nonpartisan office, Michael Aguirre, David Alvarez and Nathan Fletcher are Democrats. (Fletcher made a recent switch after being a Republican then independent in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayoral race.) Kevin Faulconer is a Republican. Their profiles are featured.
n Michael J. Aguirre
Michael J. Aguirre is a 64-year-old Bankerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hill resident and native San Diegan who has lived here continuously since 1980. He is the divorced father of two adult children. He earned his bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from Arizona State University, his juris doctorate from the University of California Berkeley Boalt Michael Aguirre Hall School of Law and a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from the Harvard University John F. Kennedy School of Government. Aguirre is an attorney and from 2004 to 2008 was San Diego City Attorney. His campaign website is mikeformayor.org â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to return the governance of the City of San Diego to the people of San .).% 4%. ,* ,IGHT .OVEMBER !D PDF
Diego,â&#x20AC;? Aguirre said when asked why he is running for mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will work to restore integrity to the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and support policies that help the greatest number of San Diego residents. Making everyday services better for people is what local government should be about.â&#x20AC;? He said the three greatest issues impacting the city revolve around the delivery of vital city services. Aguirre said they are: â&#x20AC;˘ Repairing streets and sidewalks, and providing dependable water and sewer infrastructure; â&#x20AC;˘ Ensuring libraries and recreation centers are open and operating; and â&#x20AC;˘ Developing a secure water supply and negotiating fairer energy rates from SDG&E. As for how he would bring change to these areas, Aguirre said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of priorities. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have a beautiful downtown library, I would rather see our existing community libraries open more hours. While keeping the Chargers in San Diego by finding a way to build a new stadium is important, assuring that parks and community recreation centers are open for our young people is more important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Additionally, we need to explore alternative funding sources. The city isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t out of the woods concerning pensions. In fact, unfunded pensions cost taxpayers almost $4,500 per household per year and those costs are anticipated to double soon. â&#x20AC;Ś More of our tax dollars are going to pay for city retiree benefits (than) are budgeted for firefighters. â&#x20AC;Ś I want to reduce our water and electricity rates so we have more independence in making spending priorities.â&#x20AC;?
n David Alvarez
David Alvarez is a 33-year-old Logan Heights
resident and native San Diegan. He and his wife, Xochitl, have a young daughter, Izel. He earned his bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in psychology from San Diego State University and been District 8â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Councilmember for three years. His campaign website is alvarezformayor.com â&#x20AC;&#x153;San Diego needs a leader who will fight to make government work David Alvarez for families and neighborhoods, not just for special interests,â&#x20AC;? Alvarez said when asked why he is running for mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must invest in our neighborhoods, create jobs, support schools, ensure long-term water security, and make City Hall more open and transparent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To accomplish these goals, we need a mayor who engages with the public and gives everyone the respect and dignity they deserve from their government,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a strong track record of standing up for neighborhoods and getting things done at City Hall. As mayor, I would continue that work to lead San Diego forward.â&#x20AC;? Alvarez said his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blueprint for San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Futureâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; available on his website â&#x20AC;&#x201D; explains his plan to address city issues. He said the three greatest are: â&#x20AC;˘ Investment in neighborhood infrastructure, â&#x20AC;˘ Protecting our natural resources, and â&#x20AC;˘ Creating jobs for San Diegans. To bring these changes, Alvarez said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;To invest in neighborhood infrastructure we must first better use existing data to gain a more accurate picture of our true backlog of infrastructure projects so we know which
are the highest priorities. To better protect our natural resources we must invest in a potable reuse system, which will provide a safe and sustainable source of drinking water, while also protecting local sources of water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finally, to ensure we are creating jobs for San Diegans, we must rely on connecting employers and workforce training providers to the neighborhoods, as well as targeting employers in high growth/high wage sectors.â&#x20AC;?
n Kevin Faulconer
Kevin Faulconer is a 46-year-old Point Loma resident who has lived in San Diego for almost three decades. He and his wife, Katherine, have two children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jack, 12, and Lauren, 10. He earned his bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in political science from San Diego State University and been District 2â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Councilmember for seven years. His campaign website Kevin Faulconer is kevinfaulconer.com â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m running for mayor to return honesty and integrity to the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and to bring back the type of leadership that brings people together to actually get things done,â&#x20AC;? Faulconer said. When asked to identify the three greatest issues impacting the city, Faulconer said they are: â&#x20AC;˘ Returning trust to City Hall and the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, â&#x20AC;˘ Improving our neighborhoods, including repairing our roads and rebuilding the police department, and

The fish and marine habitat of the Cove and La Jolla Kelp are an important part of what makes La Jolla such an attractive place for sportsmen, visitors, and tourists, and we want to insure its viability,” Bellquist said.

One swimmer even told us where we could find some bass to tag!” Bellquist said the safety of others using the preserve is their primary concern. “We work with the lifeguards and always stay clear of the swim lanes,” he noted. Chris Smith, who works for Boeing Network and Space Systems, is one of the fishermen on the sport boats with Bellquist to tag fish. He drives down from Portola Hills in Orange County and has been on eight trips. “I go on a tagging trip and then afterward, take my daughter, Erin, a student
at University of San Diego, out to dinner,” Smith said. “I think it is great that we are finally studying our bass population, which is the main stay of sports fishing here in Southern California.” Chris Varond, owner of Varond Design Group of Sorrento Valley, is an architect who likes to fish. Varond is known for designing the elegant house at the northwest corner of Prospect and Torrey Pines Road. “I sign up for tagging trips because they are a good cause. It is important that our fishing, which is some of the best in the whole country, is not over exploited,” Varond said. Kim Martin, the former owner and head chef at Chez Loma French restaurant in Coronado, is another one of Bellquist’s volunteer tagging fisherman. “I feel honored to have the
s
rockfish and sheephead, which are not tagged, but are likewise released. Seventeen anglers from the public sector are invited along on each sport boat trip to catch the fish. All interested anglers are given an equal opportunity to sign up after e-mails are sent out and dates posted on Facebook and Bellquist’s fish-tagging website. The goal of the tagging research is to try to determine the population and movement patterns of bass, which are the most important recreational fish along the coasts and in bays. The tissue samples are for genetic analysis to help determine how fish populations, such as those found in Point Loma and La Jolla kelp beds, are related. The samples are also analyzed for isotopes that provide information on what the fish

opportunity to fish in the Cove as part of a scientific research project that will have long range benefit. It is so beautiful there, catching fish 50-100 yards from La Jolla Caves.”
About the Cove Stench Bellquist, like many who live or work in the La Jolla area, is also concerned about the foul odors at the Cove lately. “The seals, sea lions, cormorants and pelicans responsible for the smell are vital parts of the marine ecosystem of the Cove and kelp beds, and something people love to observe. “What is important is that we have the right numbers of each of these species so the entire ecosystem is in balance,” Bellquist said. “The Cove has been a reserve for many years, so the sea lion population probably has risen from what it
was in former times, and that would explain the increase in odor from increased waste matter. “The pelicans and cormorants are focused on catching small bait fish, such as anchovies and sardine. Their droppings contribute nutrients to the waters, which feed the microorganism lower in the food chain and that’s good. But when they go on the rocks, that just adds to the problem. “Trying to have the right numbers of each species, be it fish, fowl, or mammal, is what sound management is all about. Having the right numbers will help insure that the marine ecosystem that we all love, and which makes La Jolla such a beautiful place to visit or live in, will always be there.” — For more information about tagging charters or to see results of the studies, visit cooperativefishtagging.org or see “Coastal Angler Tagging Cooperative” on Facebook.

Mischief is alive in this amusing and witty world of romance. Benedick and Beatrice seem unlikely lovers; every time they are together they quarrel over the silliest things, although with a slight flirtation. Although Claudio and Hero’s love is instant and they are happy as honeybees, Don John (Adam Gerber), the obnoxious Prince and brother of Don Pedro has other

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, this information can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales & Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.lpsasap. com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting & Publishing at (714) 5731965 or visit the Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com (Click on the link for “Advanced Search” to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1-800-280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www. auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above. 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. P1067067 11/7, 11/14, 11/21/2013.

Winning Redskin Smashed Spuds n Ingredients: • 3 pounds of redskin potatoes (baby creamers, Ida Reds, your choice) • 1 1/2 cups of half-and-half cream or whole milk (adjust to desired consistency) • 1/4 pound or 1 stick of unsalted butter • 1/2 cup of Greek yoghurt (unflavored) • 3 garlic cloves, minced • Sea salt and black pepper to taste • 2 scallions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Live Here. Give Here.
n Method: Scrub potatoes, and place unpeeled in a large saucepan or stockpot, with enough water to cover, and a sprinkling of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered for about 20 to 25 minutes or until tender to a fork. Drain and return to the pot. Mash with a hand masher, a ricer or an electric mixer using a paddle attachment. Set aside. In a small saucepan, heat the butter on low and sauté the garlic until tender. Add the cream (or milk) and heat through. Blend into the potatoes. Gently fold in the yoghurt, and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped scallions (optional).

f you’re not a sports fanatic, you probably haven’t heard the recent hoopla over the National Football League team called the Washington Redskins. The media is in an uproar (come on, after all these years) over the allegedly disparaging name that is considered a politically incorrect slur against Native Americans. The solution is a simple one. Make the team’s mascot a redskin potato. Which brings us to the food community with a slew of insulting innuendos of its own. Some of these will really give you something to beef about. Let’s start with the redskin potato (the skin hue is really closer to pink, rosé or magenta), which is on an even playing field with the Washington Redskins. Isn’t this lowly spud also the victim of an offensive nomenclature? In addition, there is absolutely no allegiance to Native American cuisine, as the main carbohydrate of choice is maize or corn. Then there’s red onions, red grapes, red beets, red wine and red caviar giving them an unfair tie-in with Communism and the Red Scare. While blueberries, blue cheese and blue corn might be insensitive to those suffering from depression, and bananas can refer to other psychological problems. Green Giant brand food, along with jumbo sea scallops and extra large eggs, could be viewed as insulting to tall or large folks, while shrimp, baby (carrots, spinach, corn, cucumber, and broccoli), miniature squashes, Brussels sprouts and munchkin pumpkins could be seen as offensive to the little people. Let’s not forget about Tom Thumb or baby redskin potatoes, which are
a double affront. String beans, shoestring potatoes, thin mints and thin spaghetti have a negative connotation for skinny people, while Ugli fruit pokes fun at the physically unattractive. We’re talking age discrimination with Granny Smith apples, old cheeses, preserved and pickled vegetables. You get the picture. Now, back to those redskins (potatoes, not players, of course). Of the more than 5,000 varieties of potatoes, the redskins make up the lion’s share. The thinskinned, white waxy fleshed, robust flavored spuds range from small to medium-sized and round to oval-shaped, including the Ida Rose, French Fingerling, Pink Pearl, Red Pontiac, Lady Rosetta and Ruby Crescent. These versatile tubers of Peruvian origin can be roasted, fried, baked, boiled, blended in soups or stews, or made into a potato salad as they hold their shape well after cooking. They absorb aromatic flavors, complimenting both comfort foods and exotic dishes, and are equally as scrumptious served hot or cold. This low fat, high carb powerhouse is rife with vitamins and minerals, along with a goodly amount of protein. They are especially loaded with stress-busting B6s, immuneboosting Vitamin C (bone and blood’s ally), Vitamin K, riboflavin and folate. There’s more. Redskins are a good source of copper and potassium for dialing up energy, with smaller amounts of magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc and selenium. — For additional redskin recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
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. Please join us. Annual local projects will receive 75% of your contribution and the other remaining 25% will go into a permanent endowment.

From Mayoral Race, B8 • Strengthening the local economy and creating good-paying jobs for San Diegans. As for how he would bring change to these issues, he said, “Voters can trust me to continue the fiscal reforms I’ve brought to City Hall as a Councilmember. I will continue to cut government waste through competitive bidding and direct the savings toward improving our neighborhoods, streets and public safety. “I will also bring back certainty for businesses ready to create quality jobs,” Faulconer said. “My five-point jobs plan will protect the jobs we have in the tourism, defense and life science sectors, create new jobs in the technology and innovative economies, and help prepare our children for careers in the emerging fields of science and engineering.”
n Nathan Fletcher
Nathan Fletcher is a 36-year-old University City resident who has lived in San Diego for a decade. He and his wife, Mindy, have two sons, Zach, 5, and Caleb, 2. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from California Baptist University, is a senior director at Qualcomm Nathan Fletcher and professor of practice at the University of California, San Diego. Fletcher represented the 75th District in the state Assembly from 2008 to 2012. His campaign website is nathanfletcher.com “I am running for mayor of San Diego because I care deeply about our city and have the leadership skills and experience needed to move San Diego in the right
direction,” Fletcher said. “It’s time we commit ourselves to the mission of rebuilding and moving our city forward. We need to focus on creating good jobs that provide good wages, rebuilding our city’s ailing neighborhoods and adequately funding public safety. “I know that I have the leadership and management skills to get things done, bring people together, build consensus and find common solutions to the complex problems we face,” he added. Fletcher said the three greatest issues facing the city are: • Neglect of neighborhoods, including crumbling streets, broken sidewalks and neglected facilities; • Need for good-paying jobs that grow and strengthen the middle class and enable families to buy a home and send their kids to college; and • Declining public safety since San Diego has fewer police officers per capita than any other large U.S. city, inadequate coverage for fire and emergency medical services, and failing communications technology for police patrol. To strengthen neighborhoods, Fletcher said he would rebuild ailing infrastructure and improve the quality of city services. His plan to create jobs and make San Diego the world’s most innovative includes having locally invented products also produced at local skilledmanufacturing facilities. In addition, he would attempt to eliminate bureaucratic hurdles in order to help small businesses succeed. As for public safety, “I’ll work to eradicate public safety disparities like 9-1-1 response times, which are far longer in some neighborhoods than others,” and implement his plan for improving police recruitment and retention plus increase emergency responder coverage.
