Preparing the Parade 57th La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival set for Dec. 7 By Pat Sherman La Jolla’s time-honored holiday tradition, the La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival, will march and trot down Girard Avenue again, kicking off a half hour earlier, 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7 at Girard Avenue and Kline Street. In addition to regular contingents of clowns,

beauty queens, fire engines, floats, horses, canines, camels, civic groups and classic cars, for the first time in decades La Jolla High School will have a marching band in the parade. The new P.E. Marching Band program at La Jolla High will join high school bands from across the county, including those returning from La Jolla Country

Day School and University City High School. “I had a very nice conversation with Kevin Beiser, who is on our school board and who used to be in band in school, and he said he’d like to have every public school band in every parade,

LA JOLLA LIGHT - NOVEMBER 27, 2014 - Page A3

From Christmas Parade, A1 because it gives the kids an opportunity to perform,” said longtime La Jolla Christmas Parade organizer Ann Kerr Bache. This year’s Holiday Festival at La Jolla Rec Center (615 Prospect St.) kicks off at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 7 with a series of music and entertainment, plus fun activities for children, including bounce houses, an obstacle course and educational displays from the Venter Institute and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The pine tree in front of La Jolla Rec Center will sport new holiday décor, thanks to a $2,000 grant from the La Jolla Rec Center Advisory Board and assistance from La Jolla Sunrise Rotary and La Jolla-based GDC Construction. Laura McDonald of Eloquence Design (who planted the pine in front of the Rec Center more than three decades ago) designed classic La Jolla seahorse ornaments, to give the tree a beach theme. Float coordinator and Sunrise Rotary member Dave Irwin is making the handcarved, hand-painted ornaments. “The lighting of the Christmas Tree is going to be pretty special this year, because it’s going to kick off the 100th anniversary of the Rec Center. Stella Maris Academy will sing and the most important person in the parade is Santa Claus,” who will wave and belly laugh down Girard Avenue in a Packard Twin Six, referred to as “The Old Black Goose,” Kerr Bache enthused. Parade participants should be advised however, that to avoid confounding young La Jollans, organizers maintain a strict, “one St. Nick” policy.

“Last year, one entry didn’t believe me and had Santa Claus on their float,” Kerr Bach said. “I went right up to them at the corner of Girard and Kline and said ‘Get off that!’ The next afternoon my son came home from school and said, ‘Mom, people were saying, who was that lady screaming at Santa?’ ” Kerr Bach recalled, with a laugh. In homage to the late Margaret “Peggy” Howell and Sue Geller, who co-founded Friends of County Animal Shelters (F.O.C.A.S.), which finds adoptive homes for homeless and abandoned animals, F.O.C.A.S. will return to the parade, which begins with an antique aircraft flyover, courtesy of Bill Allen. n Grand Marshals: This year’s grand marshal is Las Patronas, represented by its board president Annette Bradbury and Jewel Ball chair Cari Massad. They will ride in one of several classic cars on loan from La Jolla Concours d’Elegance organizers. Other marshals recognized for their community contributions include: Children’s Pool Walk beautification project organizer Phyllis Minick (Civic Marshal); CONNECT CEO Greg McKee (Innovation Marshal); La Jolla Recreation Council board president Doug Fitzgerald (Sports Marshal); retired Navy Captain Steve Kappes of the Military Outreach Team and Wounded Warriors Tennis Camp (Military Marshal). Awards will be given to groups assembling original parade floats, with categories such as “Best Overall,” “Most Colorful” “Most Holiday Spirit.” n Caveat: Kerr Bache noted that all vehicles should be off Girard Avenue no later than 9 a.m. Police will begin towing promptly at

Both the parade and festival are organized by the all-volunteer La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival, of which Kerr Bache is foundation president and lead event organizer. “We are grateful to Jack McGrory and Bill Kellogg, honorary parade chairs, for their support and assistance making the parade possible,” Kerr Bache said, also noting that the La Jolla Town Council’s immediate past president, Cindy Greatrex, will serve as festival chair, while Mike Carlin serves as parade director, assuring a well-run and safe parade. Kerr Bache’s involvement with the event began in 1998, when it was under the auspices of the La Jolla Town Council. She has since formed a separate, 501(c)3

nonprofit organization. Portions of the proceeds benefit band programs in La Jolla, and provide a small stipend to all participating school bands to help pay for bus rentals. Last year, the event raised a total of about $9,000 for local schools. Kerr Bache said she hopes to expand donations for bands and other arts programs at La Jolla schools, adding to the efforts of La Jolla Art & Wine Festival founder Sherry Ahern. “Sherry Ahern does a fabulous job with the Art & Wine Festival. We’d like to help with some more specific, targeted educational programs throughout the year,” Kerr Bache said. “We just need to raise money to form an endowment. If anybody wants to make a donation to their favorite local band they can do that through the foundation and it will go directly to that band and is fully tax deductible.” The parade and festival are funded solely by community donations, Kerr Bache noted, adding that the early support of Gold Sponsor John Barbey made it possible to plan this year’s festivities. Other major sponsors include Audrey Geisel, the Dr. Seuss Fund, Darlene Marcos Shiley, the McGrory Family Fund of the Jewish Community Foundation and LMC Management. The event costs about $80,000 each year to produce, including permit fees, crowd control, portable restrooms and other necessities. Sponsorship opportunities are listed on the parade’s website, ljparade.com Volunteers are still needed the day of the parade to help with check-ins, parade flow and other duties.

By Ashley Mackin At the La Jolla Shores Association Nov. 12 meeting, board members and residents took advantage of San Diego Police Lt. Scott Wahl’s presence to discuss issues in Kellogg Park. Wahl, who was recently assigned to Northern Division, said he would attend the meetings whenever possible. “I couldn’t be more excited to be here … my responsibilities include patrol operations from Torrey Pines down to SeaWorld, from the I-5 freeway to the water; filtering community concerns and staffing resources to meet the needs of the community,” he said. In this case, the needs of the community were expressed by LJSA chair Tim Lucas, with photos provided by a resident who documented the most frequent park problems. Among them was excessive use of barbecues; off-leash dogs; people smoking cigarettes and marijuana; empty alcohol containers; overflowing trashcans; a “crack pipe” left on a park bench; motorists stopping in a “no stopping anytime” zone to load beach gear instead of using the

Many of these issues, LJSA members argued, would be reduced by increased police presence or a ranger stationed at Kellogg Park. “The city needs to allocate police resources (to this park),” Lucas insisted. “Having someone randomly go through the park every once in a while would really add a lot of order to park use.” Lucas added that a

By Pat Sherman Preliminary concepts for a planned expansion of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s (MCASD) La Jolla campus garnered mostly positive feedback during a presentation to La Jolla’s Development Permit Review (DPR) committee Nov. 18 at La Jolla Rec Center. About 20 people attended the courtesy review, including the architect selected to design the expansion, Annabelle Selldorf, principal and founder of Selldorf Architects, who offered a public presentation on her work the following evening at MCASD’s Sherwood Auditorium. (Read more about Selldorf at lajollalight.com) Museum officials hope to add about 35,362 square feet of exhibition space to an existing 10,783 square feet. DPR member Mike Costello filled in as chair for architect Paul Benton, who presented the concepts. Benton’s firm, Alcorn & Benton Architects, will assist with the permit process and other aspects of the

The current lot at the north end of the property — adjacent the Museum Café and portions of architect Irving Gill’s original structure — would be replaced by a pedestrian promenade overlooking the ocean. Since many MCASD guests have difficulty finding the entrance, a new, wider entry and bookshop are proposed along Prospect Street, in front of what is now Sherwood Auditorium. Benton noted that the current, 30-foot-tall Sherwood space “turns its back on the ocean.” As such, plans call for the addition

of a second-story outdoor terrace and windows along Coast Boulevard, to take advantage of currently blocked ocean views. Additional gallery space would be created by excavating under Sherwood. Proposed materials include Terrazzo, Travertine (limestone), concrete, wood, stucco and satin aluminum finishes. A Moreton Bay fig tree and conical stone sculpture by artist Andy Goldsworthy at the Southern edge of the property, along Prospect Street, will be preserved and incorporated into a new courtyard. The only major concern expressed during the meeting was the loss of Sherwood

Auditorium as a community meeting space. The La Jolla Music Society (LJMS), which for years has held performances at Sherwood, is building its own, 500-seat concert hall on Fay Avenue. Although the LJMS said it will make its new space available to the community (when not using it for performances), several people at the DPR meeting were skeptical as to how frequently available it would be. Regarding the loss of Sherwood as a venue for film screenings, Benton said MCASD directors remain committed to providing the new space for community use. He noted that contemporary gallery space is fluid in

its use. Seats can be arranged to show movies or for small music recitals. Community member Melinda Merryweather said the museum’s sculpture garden area (once owned by La Jolla’s founding benefactress, Ellen Browning Scripps) should remain accessible to the public, as Scripps stipulated (MCASD officials confirmed to La Jolla Light the garden will remain accessible via a buzzer at the entry gate off Coast Boulevard). “I know there’s a lot of people who are very sensitive about what the museum does,” Merryweather said. “I think it is important they maybe maintain something for the public.” u

From Grants, A1 “We haven’t been able to do it in a number of years here with reduced funding for the arts,” McCormick said. “There’s always been a desire, but not the funding. Because of this gift, all the kids in La Jolla will get to see it, too.” Reuben H. Fleet Science Center will use its grant to host Family Science Nights at La Jolla schools, bringing children, parents and teachers together for handson science experiences. Under the guidance of an Outside the Lens media instructor, Muirlands Middle School students will learn “Design Thinking” and how to apply the technique to drive innovative solutions in STEM fields. Muirlands Foundation will use its grant to purchase digital microscopes and microscope kits, LabQuest mini-middle school kits and teacher guides. The equipment will facilitate experiments aligned to new science standards, connecting math, science and visual learning with

Tracing the causes of breast cancer

ast year, more than 232,000 women were told they had invasive breast cancer — in which cancer cells have spread beyond the mammary glands — and another 64,000 were diagnosed with in situ breast cancer, in which the cancer is localized to the cells lining the breast ducts. After cancers of the skin, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, accounting for almost a third of all newly diagnosed cases. It is also among the most deadly of cancers. Each year, approximately 40,000 women die from breast cancer. Only lung cancer kills more. Who gets breast cancer? The obvious answer is women, though men are not immune. It’s 100 times less common in males, but more than 2,300 men will be diagnosed with the disease this year — and 430 will die. The majority of breast cancer cases involve women diagnosed after age 50. The median age of diagnosis is 61. They tend to be non-Hispanic white women, though African-American women have a higher incidence rate before age 40. Generally speaking, a woman living in the United States has a 12.3 percent lifetime risk (1 in 8) of being diagnosed with breast

cancer, that’s up from 1 in 11 during the 1970s. A lot of factors account for the increase in risk: Longer life expectancy, changes in reproductive patterns, menopausal hormone use, the rising prevalence of obesity and better detection rates through screenings. What actually causes breast cancer is a tougher question. For insight, I turned to Ruth Patterson, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Family & Preventive Medicine in the UC San Diego School of Medicine and leader of the Cancer Prevention Program at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Here’s what Ruth had to say: Among breast cancer survivors, there is a consistent belief that their own cancer was caused by stress, fate, family history or environmental factors, but research paints a more nuanced and often yet-to-beexplained picture. Stress, personality and fate: There is no scientific evidence that a negative mental attitude can cause breast cancer, but chronic perceived stress may be something else. Some studies have found a link

between chronic psychological stress and breast cancer. The evidence is strong in mouse studies, but less so in humans. As for fate or destiny, that is still beyond the ability of science to measure. Family history or genetics: A large number of women identify these factors as the cause of their cancer, but in reality, just 5 to 10 percent of all breast cancers are clearly hereditary. Environmental factors: Exposure to certain pesticides and the heavy metal cadmium are associated with increased breast cancer risk. At the moment, there is only a tenuous link between air pollution and breast cancer. Most scientists do not believe that environmental factors are a major cause of breast cancer. Lifestyle factors: There is convincing evidence that low levels of physical activity, obesity, alcohol and cigarette smoking are risk factors for breast cancer and cancer recurrence. For example, physical inactivity is estimated to be responsible for approximately 10 percent of breast cancer mortality. Data regarding diet are conflicting, although fat intake may increase the risk of breast cancer. Other factors: Age, taller height, higher socioeconomic status, high breast density (as evident in a mammogram), not bearing children, hormone replacement therapy and issues affecting hormonal status, such as a late natural menopause, have all been identified as potential risk factors for breast cancer. Clearly there are factors and behaviors that exacerbate breast cancer risk and

factors and behaviors that do not. Identifying them based upon sound science is an ongoing effort. One such effort is a study at Moores Cancer Center that involves assessing whether weight loss or metformin might reduce the risk of breast cancer mortality. Metformin is a widely used oral antidiabetic drug that reduces glucose, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In some people, it also promotes weight loss. Emerging studies suggest that metformin can influence tumorigenesis (the formation of tumors) by reducing circulating levels of insulin in the system and by inducing energetic stress in cancer cells. The latter is caused by metformin inhibiting an enzyme that plays a key first step in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Mitochondria are cells’ power plants. With this enzyme impaired, cancer cell energy levels, protein synthesis, growth and viability can be reduced. Researchers are looking for breast cancer survivors interested in participating in a clinical trial investigating the effects of weight loss and metformin. If interested, contact Jessica Orotowski-Coleman at reachforhealth@ucsd.edu or (858) 8223311. u — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.

UC San Diego’s Environments in Motion: Understanding and Protecting Our Planet Lecture Series showed these images of John Muir (1838-1914) through the years: At age 22, after spending five years in the Sierras, and as a senior citizen. Muir was a Scottish-American naturalist, author and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States.

John Muir biography kicks off environmental lecture series about John Muir because he admires Muir’s environmental activism and, like Muir, is enchanted with the Sierras. “I love the Sierras and spend a lot of time hiking there. Many of the descriptions in the books of my Mars Trilogy are taken directly from my experience in the Sierras.” According to Robinson, John Muir grew up in Dunbar, Scotland in a three-story white brick house. As a young man, he memorized the whole New Testament and two-thirds of the Old Testament. His favorite activity was climbing, then known as “scooching.” When he was 11 years old, Muir’s family moved to a farm in Wisconsin. Singlehandedly, Muir cleared 40 acres for the farm. In his spare time he read and designed all kinds of steam punk-like mechanical devices and contraptions that were more for looks than utility. When he was 22, Muir enrolled in the University of Wisconsin, and when the Civil War broke out, he moved to Canada to avoid the conflict. After the war, Muir moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, where he was temporarily blinded in a factory accident. The blinding had a profound effect on him and when his sight returned, he set off on a thousand-mile walk to the Gulf of Mexico where he boarded a ship headed for the Amazon with the

By Will Bowen Noted sci-fi writer and UC San Diego John Muir College alumnus Kim Stanley Robinson kicked off the new Environments in Motion: Understanding and Protecting Our Planet Lecture Series on Nov. 8, addressing a full house at Ledden Auditorium on the Muir College campus. Robinson, who is perhaps best known for his Mars Trilogy series: “Red Mars,” “Green Mars,” “Blue Mars,” discussed the life and writings of John Muir, the Sierra Club’s founder and first president, and one of the world’s first environmentalists. The Environments in Motion lectures, which will be held periodically throughout the year, will feature renowned speakers addressing environmentally relevant topics. Muir College and its Division of Arts & Humanities will sponsor the series. Muir College Provost John Moore said, “The Environments in Motion lectures will include five to six talks on a variety of topics, such as water, global warming and environmental justice.” The new dean of the Division of Arts & Humanities, Christina Della Coletta, noted, “We are delighted to start off with a talk by Kim Stanley Robinson, one of our alumni, whom we consider to be a very valuable asset to the university.” Robinson said he volunteered to talk

Kim Stanley Robinson shares insights about John Muir.

The Sierra Nevada is a mountain range in the western United States, between the Central Valley of California and the Basin and Range Province. Mount Whitney is the highest summit, with an elevation of 14,505 feet. Photos by Will Bowen was also at the lecture and said he’s been a friend of Robinson’s since they were UCSD students on the fencing team. He often goes hiking with him in the Sierras. Maria Winters, a Muir College transfer student from Redlands, said, “Learning about John Muir at this lecture made me feel proud to be a John Muir student.” Fellow undergraduate, Amanda Dieterle added, “It was a very refreshing to hear that Muir was a man who followed his passion and made a positive impact on the world.” —For news about forthcoming lectures, visit the UCSD Division of Arts & Humanities website at dah.ucsd.edu u

published by his friend and confidant, Jean Carr, made him a famous public figure. Later in life, Muir founded the Sierra Club and wrote more about the Sierras, promoting the conservation and protection of its forests and animals. He once spent three days camping alone with President Theodore Roosevelt and undoubtedly influenced Roosevelt’s decision to create a system of national parks. Pat Adams, who has been the resident dean of Muir College for the past 37 years, attended the lecture and noted, “I learned a lot about the different aspects of Muir’s life that I was not familiar with.” Daryl DeVinney, a Revelle College graduate,

intention of studying its plants and animals. A bout with malaria changed his mind and he took a sailing ship up to San Francisco. After reading a magazine article about Yosemite, he decided to walk there by crossing the great Central Valley on foot and ended up spending five years studying nature in the Sierras. His primary interest was the formation of the mountains and valleys, which he theorized was due to the chiseling action of glacier ice. His writings about Sierra glaciers, which changed the prevailing scientific notion, were characterized by a rare combination of technical precision and spiritual passion. These writings, which were

Medical board files new charges against La Jolla doctor The Medical Board of California has filed new allegations against a La Jolla doctor accused of using drugs in his office, writing illegal prescriptions for narcotics, and having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a patient. Dr. Brad Schnierow’s medical license was suspended in June. He was arrested in July, following a lengthy investigation by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration and the Medical Board. Schnierow and his former girlfriend face 21 criminal counts, including allegations of prescription fraud and possession of controlled substances. According to a report released by the

medical board Nov. 20, an informant said they saw a meth pipe and other drug paraphernalia in Schnierow’s La Jolla office and told DEA agents the doctor “nodded out on the patients, acts like someone in college, like a frat boy,” often showing up late for appointments or missing them entirely. Another former employee told investigators Schnierow had a chronic drug problem and that he had to call another doctor for help after Schnierow allegedly passed out in his office. In addition, a report of Schnierow’s prescription history revealed he wrote 48 prescriptions for three controlled substances for a former girlfriend within a one-year period. The Medical Board is attemtping to revoke Schnierow’s license.

Spearheaded by La Jollan Judy Adams Halter, a committee formed to raise funds for the La Jolla Cove Pavilion Project, including inviting community groups to donate $5,000 to be named a “Pillar of the Pavilion.” The committee contracted architecture firm Safdie Rabines to produce a schematic design, which will soon be turned over to the city. During the Dec. 8 La Jolla Parks & Beaches meeting, Safdie Rabines will present the design so the community can offer suggestions for the proposal before its submission. The presentation will be at 5:15 p.m. at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. “We are looking forward to working closely with the city to create a Pavilion that will honor the beauty of La Jolla Cove and serve San Diegans for generations to come,” Adams Halter said.

UC San Diego tuition hike set for 2015-16 Despite student protests across its campuses, the University of California’s regent board voted 14-7 on Nov. 18 to aprove UC President Janet Napolitano’s proposed 5 percent tuition increase each year for five years to offset years of state budget cuts, cover rising retirement costs and hire more faculty and staff to meet the needs of its growing student body, which reached more than 238,400 students in 2013. The proposal would add $612 to the cost of attending a UC school, increasing tuition to $12,804 (compared to a national average of $8,893 for all public colleges, according to the College Board) for instate students in the 2015-16 school year.

7e Fit Spa: Transforming lives through technology By Marti Gacioch Owner of 7e Fit Spa, Pooja Johari, opened her first location three years ago in Indianapolis. In two years, she’s grown her business to 21 spas, including a Sorrento Valley location. “All 21 spas came from existing spa members, who were excited by the lifechanging experience they had with us and wanted to share it with their communities,” Johari said. “That’s how we grew quickly without marketing.” Using non-invasive procedures and stateof-the art medical technology to gain wholebody wellness is the spa’s philosophy. Staff members use what is known as torc technology to reduce cellulite and work on the necessary core muscles to improve body posture, blood circulation, hormone balancing and all the issues that aging brings to post-pregnant and postmenopausal women. Johari, who earned her master’s degree in biomedical engineering at USC, said she developed her technologies while working with scientists on research teams and in electronics. There, she became aware of technology in medicine being used to enhance the body’s natural communication capabilities.

“The great thing is that no other surgery or laser procedure fixes the internal structure the way our technology does. We work on a client’s whole body transformation through his or her lifestyle,” Johari said. “We’re not here to just give them services and let them go; we really become their personal coaches and life coaches.” 7e Fit Spa’s team examines members’ lifestyles to discover why stress comes into their lives, and outside the spa, they encourage members to diet and exercise. They also perform a scientific analysis of bodies and plan to soon introduce ayurvedic (the ancient medical diet from India). All of

their services are membership-based. “We do whole body detoxification, and we have people do the torc treatment to fix their internal structure by working on conditioning the muscles and improving their blood circulation and metabolic rate,” Johari said. “We also do lymphatic drainage, cellulite reduction and hormonal balancing, and we have skin-therapy treatments based on skin condition and anti- aging desires.” The spa also offers weight-loss programs, a stress-relief program, and sports performance training. “People come in two to three times a week with tears of joy in their eyes because of how their lives are

transformed,” Johari said. “They feel such relief with the help we give them and we take great satisfaction in how our help becomes their lifestyle.” The spa is offering a free, 15-minute consultation based on the goals of a new customer with the choice of $49 or 50-percent off the first visit, which is often using the torc. u n 7e Fit Spa is at 5703 Oberlin Drive, Suite 306, San Diego.

Alexia Maria on fast track to make impact in fashion world Alexia Maria Esquer has always had a lifelong passion for fashion. When she turned 25 earlier this year, that passion went up to a different level with the debut of her first dress collection.

Harmony Home Medical’s showroom offers a wide selection of wheelchairs, walkers, scooters, power chairs and more. Educational sessions are also held to help customers with making decisions and dealing with insurance matters.

In the process, she has begun to make her mark in the fashion industry. “My designs are inspired by the timeless era of the 1950s,” Esquer said. “My greatest fashion icons are Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy.” This past August, Esquer opened her own store, named appropriately enough, Alexia Maria. It’s decorated in the vintage-modern motif, the same essence she has her dresses convey. “Chocolate, macaroons and champagne are just a few of the many surprises you will find at my store,” she said.

The store specializes in formal evening gowns and cocktail dresses, all of the highest quality. “Our dresses are one of a kind and are made from fabrics such as silk faille and duchess satin, all hand-picked from the very best,” Esquer said. “These combinations of fabrics and bright colors that I like to work with capture the femininity, true elegance and classic essence of my designs.” And like many businesses in the area, thriving financially is a goal, but not always the top priority. “We like to give back to our community by participating in fundraising events that support different causes,” Esquer said. “Last month, we donated our signature Red Bow Gown for a silent auction that helped raise funds for brain cancer research.” At the end of the day, being unique and offering top-notch products is what Alexia Maria is all about. “What makes my business stand out is that it gets very personalized attention,” Esquer said. “I like for women to look beautiful, elegant and feel comfortable. Women in search of the perfect dress for a special occasion will not only find that dress at Alexia Maria, but an experience they will never forget.” 1261 Prospect Street #2 La Jolla, CA 92037 She can be found online on Facebook at www.facebook.com/shopalexiamaria and on Instagram @shopalexiamaria. Her website, www.alexiamaria.com, is coming soon.

Harmony Home Medical takes new approach to helping Medicare beneficiaries From Harmony Home Medical Reports

Since last September’s Competitive Bid for Medicare, medical equipment availability and payments have been slashed in half by Medicare, 47 percent to be exact. In San Diego only a couple Durable Medical Equipment (DME) providers are allowed to bill Medicare now from a previous 30-plus providers. This has left many people unable to get the much-needed equipment they rely on and much of it is sub-standard quality. More and more people need to purchase their own mobility equipment and make their own decisions about what best meets their needs at home and in the community. That is where Harmony Home Medical has taken the lead in providing knowledgeable customer service to help navigate these often new waters for people. In response to these changes, Harmony Home Medical implemented the only rentto-own program in town that helps people be able to afford the mobility equipment that they need and want. The 50-pound wheelchair just doesn’t do the job for most, so being able to rent-toown the perfect lightweight chair is exactly what people need a lot of times. The experts on the floor at Harmony can help you find your perfect solutions, and it does not stop at just medical equipment. Home access is also their area of expertise and they can

install the stair lift or car lift you need to keep your active lifestyle despite a limitation in mobility. Harmony Home Remodeling can handle all of your accessibility modifications to your home as well. A lot is changing with health care and insurance, which is why it is important to have a professional help you navigate what is available through insurance and what is best suited for your mobility outside of insurance, something that most health-care providers don’t know. Regardless of what is covered or not, people deserve to have the right medical equipment and comforts, and Harmony Home Medical is making that possible through innovative product selection and financing programs not available anywhere else. u n Harmony Home Medical is located at 4885 Convoy St., San Diego.

Life Without Disease Seminar Series:

Combating Infectious Disease on a Global Level We invite you to attend this free seminar In our highly connected world, it is impossible to ignore diseases simply because they are happening in another country. As the recent spread of Ebola illustrates, diseases do not limit themselves to the confines of international borders. Each year, over 500 million people are infected with hemorrhagic fevers such as Lassa, Marburg, Dengue, Yellow Fever, and Ebola, and only one has an effective vaccine. Join us as Dr. Sujan Shresta shares her work toward developing therapeutics and vaccines for Dengue Fever, the most prevalent of the hemorrhagic fevers. Dr. Shresta’s presentation will be preceded by an introduction from La Jolla Institute’s Executive Vice President, Dr. Stephen Wilson, who will share the exciting advances of immune system research and how it is bringing forth interventions in health and medicine that will help people live better lives. A Q&A will follow the presentation, conducted by La Jolla Institute’s President and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Mitchell Kronenberg.

Tuesday, December 2, 2014 5:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

PRESENTED BY:

at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine Duane J. Roth Auditorium 2880 Torrey Pines Scenic Drive, La Jolla, CA 92037 This event is free to attend but seating is limited. Register by November 29th to attend by contacting Daniel Moyer at 858-752-6535 or dmoyer@lji.org

I guess I’m pretty traditional because I just love the food. In my family, someone always steps up to do the cooking, so I don’t have to, which is a blessing. It’s something you can look forward to without a lot of expectations. Pablo Mason

I have two teenage daughters, and my sister also has teenagers, so when we get together we do a lot of cooking. Our favorite thing to make is cranberry sauce and the teens participate using their grandmother’s recipe. Renu Joshi

Our new, favorite tradition is spending time with our grandchildren (ages four months to six years), they have just changed our lives. As a family, we are celebrating with (Hugo’s) ex-wife, the kids and grandchildren at one table. Mary and Hugo Gomez-Engler

My family and I run a 5K every year on Thanksgiving in Sedona, Arizona, where my family is from. It’s just my immediate family, but we go out there every year and do the Turkey Trot together.

Light staff is laughing Here comes the mailman. The newspaper is here and it’s La Jolla Light! Yay! The La Jolla Light has arrived! Yahoo! Time to read! Your newspaper is amazing. I wish I could write such literature. Unfortunately, only you can (the team). You choose beautiful colors when it comes to pictures, advertisements and

more, although you could jazz up the font. Otherwise, it’s brilliant. I wanted to let you know so you will keep up the good work. My family loves it. We read it every day, even though it only comes once a week. You are all so amazing taking your days for my (and many others’) enjoyment. Zoe La Jolla

Faith communities series earns a blessing Thank you for the wonderful article in the Nov. 6 issue profiling La Jolla Presbyterian Church. It is a blessing to our congregation and the community. Thank you for all you do and for your hard work. God bless you. Paul Cunningham Jim Sedgwick La Jolla Presbyterian Church

More kudos are due for Waverly Gate in Bird Rock Regarding the “2014 Addition to Waverly Gate” article in the Nov. 20 La Jolla Light, while I appreciate the shout out in the article, there were a number of people who volunteered their time and expertise for that project! It took several years to bring it to fruition from the initial idea and a lot of good people made it happen. Yes, it took a village. Leadership by Cory Schmelzer, Pennie Carlos and Chuck Patton. Original design and plans by David Neagley. Fundraising by Jeanine Naviaux and Michelle Fulks. And many others who made important contributions too numerous to list. The final push at City Hall came from then Councilmembers Scott Peters and Kevin Faulconer and Sherri Lightner, including help in securing funding. Help also came from the good people at Parks & Rec, Public Works, and Bird Rock Elementary. It is all of them who deserve the shout out. A big thank you, too, to Jane Wheeler for her community-oriented tile work. Joe LaCava Bird Rock

Mannequin placement is ‘tacky’ and ‘creepy’

POLL OF THE WEEK at lajollalight.com n Last week’s question and poll results: Do you think the Merchants Association’s new Sparkle & Shine campaign will succeed in raising funds to keep Village streets clean on an ongoing basis?

I am a resident of WindanSea Beach and I was wondering what the heck is going on outside the The Shack restaurant at 6941 La Jolla Blvd.? I do not understand the marketing of the tacky, creepy mannequin in a rowboat outside facing the boulevard. It does not encourage me to eat there. It is not pleasant to drive by several times a day. How is this display helping business? Can we have a vote to get it removed? Melissa Duncan La Jolla Editor’s Note: We passed Melissa’s comments on to the owners of The Shack and got this response: “I am disheartened to learn that one of our residents is unable to see the fun and humor in our display in front of The Shack. As owners of The Shack since 1995, we offer a fun and friendly atmosphere for everyone to enjoy great food and drinks. We have a great relationship with our community and value every patron. We have had so many patrons comment about how fun the mannequin is. They love to see what new ‘holiday outfit’ she might have on next. This year we all were so excited to dress up our mannequin in her finest ‘pink’ outfit in support of the 700plus Breast Cancer Walk participants who come through our restaurant during the 3-Day Walk, Nov. 21-23. The response from them was priceless! They appreciated and loved our support, and laughed and had fun taking pictures of our mannequin with their friends. In a nutshell, we are just having fun, so smile, laugh a little and enjoy time with family and friends during the holiday season.

Are you going to the La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival on Sunday, Dec. 7? Life is a gift, enjoy it, don’t waste time worrying about the little things. Also, for what it’s worth, we never had the intention of making the mannequin a permanent fixture at The Shack. We just wanted to have some fun this summer and, most importantly, have a chance to dress her up in support of the Walk for a Cure. Our plan was always to take her down after this great weekend.

Lucille Koel Handley 1921 – 2014

Mrs. Lucille Koel Handley was born at home on the farm in Rock Rapids, Iowa, on August 2, 1921, and passed peacefully with those she loved and loved her at her home in Santa Barbara, California, on November 18, 2014. Her parents, John and Anna Koel, emigrated from

Holland before World War I and tenant farmed 120 acres of corn and oats. Lucille had many fond memories of farm life, feeding and caring for the many animals and riding the work horses. She was educated in a little red school house across the dirt road from the farm. The family farm had no electricity and was lit by kerosene lanterns. Lucille did her school work at night in the kitchen. Lucille’s mother, Anna, was the oldest of eight children which gave Lucille and her older brother, Herbert, many cousins to play with. Her father, John, was an avid fisherman and spent many evening hours fishing along the banks of a river which flowed near the farm. Lucille left Iowa for California in 1942, riding out to Long Beach with a family friend. She quickly secured a job as an aircraft inspector at McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company. One evening she and a girlfriend went out for a night of bowling where she met her future husband, Dr. Owen

Barry Handley, a Navy reconnaissance instructor. Owen and Lucille were married in 1945. During the 1950s Owen pursued a doctorate in education from the University of Southern California and worked for the San Diego School District for 30 years. The Handley family attended the La Jolla Presbyterian Church and enjoyed a long association with the La Jolla YMCA, attending family camp in Julian, California, each Labor Day weekend for many years. In later years, Owen and Lucille traveled extensively through Europe, Asia and South America. Lucille was a member of the La Jolla Presbyterian Church for over 61 years and made many wonderful friends there. She was a daughter in Christ, lived adventurously, loved gracefully and gave generously to all that knew her around the world. She had a good, blessed and full life and left a legacy of loving children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren that all

cherished and adored her. She was always full of grace and spirit. She will be dearly missed. Lucille’s beloved husband, Owen, went home to be with the Lord in 1989. She lovingly embraced her three sons and their wives, Larry and Patrice, Richard, and Brandt and Terri; and her grandchildren, Taylor, Serena, Christian, Natalie, Barret, Sean, Michael and Sophie. Services will be held at La Jolla Presbyterian Church on Sunday, November 30, 2014, at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that any contributions be made to Visiting Nurse and Hospice Care of Santa Barbara.

However, Coakley-Munk noted, “One ranger would save the city dozens of police calls.” Mayor’s representative Francis Barraza reported that the cost of an additional ranger was integrated into the 2015 San Diego budget, but details of where and when they would be stationed were not available.

Currently used at the north end, the compactors are more secure than a typical trash can and hold twice as much due to automatic compaction. “We have these trashcans that the seagulls can get into, and frankly, we don’t have enough of them,” Lucas said. “On a holiday, you’ll have tremendous park use and not enough trash cans. The Department of Park & Rec does do afternoon and evening pickups, but when the cans fill up, people start piling their trash next to the can.” Additionally, he said, in the early morning hours between 5 and 7 a.m., hungry seagulls pick through the trash, flinging it around. As a result, city crews have to double their work to clean up the area. u

FOOTBALL: La Jolla High School Vikings 54, Santa Fe Christian Eagles 17

To open playoffs, Rugg sets CIF record with 45 TD passes By Ed Piper Viking Collin Rugg set a new CIF San Diego Section record with 45 touchdown passes in a season, and La Jolla thoroughly demolished Santa Fe Christian, 54-17, in the first round of the Division III playoffs Nov. 14. The 6-foot-3 senior quarterback tossed six TD aerials to his usual suspects, three to Trenton Fudge, two to Carlton O’Neal, with another to Brandon Bonham, as the Vikings built up an insurmountable 35-0 halftime lead and sailed to a smashing victory in what was expected to be an even match-up between two 5-5 teams. In fact, Santa Fe Christian, who hosted the game at Torrey Pines High School, came in as the seventh seed, while La Jolla was seeded tenth. The Vikings turned that seeding on its head, and by a large margin. Meanwhile, on the defensive side, coordinator Mike Dutra’s unit bottled up the Eagles’ Benton Weeks, a 900-yard rusher, who carried early and often but was never able to make a dent big enough in the Viking defensive line to threaten to score. In fact, there was no suspense in the game’s outcome after Rugg led the potent La Jolla offense to strike early, then repeatedly as the second quarter barreled on. After halftime, the only suspense was whether and when the QB would establish the new CIF record in this game or the next. Pounding back Reid Martin added a touchdown on the ground midway through the second quarter, as the red-and-black’s

Viking receiver Carlton O’Neal beats defender Benton Weeks on a 39-yard pass play from Collin Rugg for a touchdown to kick off La Jolla’s scoring.

advantage ballooned to 28-0 with 4:51 left in the first half. The auburn-haired senior clocked a typical 118 yards on his rushing odometer on 18 carries in his fifth game back after having two screws inserted near his left big toe in June to repair an injury. Rugg, in amassing more than 3,300 yards this season, with more action to come against Christian High Friday, Nov. 21, in a 7 p.m. second-round matchup at Granite Hills High School, was his usual selfdeprecating persona, deflecting credit for his new CIF touchdown record to his receivers and offensive line.

“It’s really nice, but I owe it to my teammates. Our receivers are amazing,” said Rugg, the sweat still on his brow after going 12 for 20 and 264 yards in three quarters. “I’m proud I did it, but I couldn’t have done with without my teammates.” The O-line protecting him all season, from left to right, has been Alex Lopez, Stefan Stojic, center Mateo Jimenez, David McColl, and Michael Penny. What was he going to do to celebrate? Grinning, he said, “Go home, eat pizza, and watch TV,” including the PPR football highlights. (Pizza was going to be his favorite, Filippi’s with pepperoni.)

Viking head coach Jason Carter said he has taught Rugg in his two years of mentoring him to “use every inch of the field.” Asked before the game if the La Jolla offense was going to throw more to Fudge, who ended up with his trio of TD receptions, Carter said, “If he’s open.” The spread offense is predicated on the premise that “you take what the opponent gives you,”probing for weak spots and winning matchups. For example, on Fudge’s 53-yard reception in the first quarter for Rugg’s 41st touchdown pass of the season, the receiver was well-covered but he made a good catch against his defender, then extended the play by slipping a tackle and scampering the rest of the way to the end zone. Carter said after the game, “It (the record) couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Collin’s a good person. He’s team-oriented. He’ll be the first one to tell you he couldn’t do it without his teammates.” u

Registration underway for youth baseball season n Sign up online at LJYB.org By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball

Each player in LJYB league will wear an authentic Padres jersey from different eras. Courtesy

Registration is open for the 2015 season of La Jolla Youth Baseball at www.LJYB.org through Jan. 17. Since 1952, LJYB has been helping kids learn the game of baseball 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 nonprofit organization, LJYB depends on many generous community volunteers and donors who help make youth baseball in La Jolla possible. For the fourth year, LJYB will continue its special partnership with the San Diego Padres in 2015. 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 team is outfitting more than 16,000 kids throughout the region in Padres gear. The Clorox Company has signed on as a title sponsor. Opening Day is Saturday, February 28, 2015. Assessments are planned for the last weekend of January. Teams will be formed and practices begin in February. The

regular season and playoffs continue through Memorial Day and post-season tournaments and All Stars continue into the summer. A player’s division is determined by their age as of April 30, 2015: 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 and practices at that level. At the LJYB annual meeting in September, outgoing president Jim Benham reviewed the 2014 season including financial and facility operations, and tournament results, and he presented a slate of two new board members for election to three-year terms: Geoff Longenecker as incoming president, and Cindi Stratton as secretary. Continuing board members are Mark Bale, Brian Canino, Chris Coleman, Aaron Roberts and Bo Solis. Four Division presidents were also introduced: Mac Armstrong (Pinto), Walter Birnbaum (Mustang), Cory Lancaster (Bronco), and Tom Murphy (Pony). Longenecker closed the meeting by thanking Benham for his outstanding leadership and years of service to LJYB. The new board held its first meeting of the 2015 season in October. —For more information, message email@ljyb.org or visit ljyb.org u

Many La Jolla-based charities could use your help

Compiled by Ashley Mackin nce the pumpkin pie is finished, the last leftover turkey sandwich consumed, and you begin searching for those perfect holiday gifts, you may want to include the local organizations that need some support. Here are 12 noteworthy causes (in alphabetical order) that would benefit from the gift of your time or donations to help them make life better for others.

❤ Care ‘N’ Share Toy Drive

Torrey Pines Rotary Club is collecting new and gently used stuffed animals for patients at Rady Children’s Hospital, Hospital Infantil de las Californias and Children’s Lifeline. To date, the Care ‘N Share Toy Drive has distributed more than 22,000 stuffed animals to put smiles on the faces of sick children in the region. • Donations will be accepted until Dec. 30 • Drop off sites: La Jolla Seville, 1001 Genter St. and Postal Annex, 7514 Girard Ave., Suite 1 • Information: nancy@torreypinesrotary.org or torreypinesrotary.org

❤ Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation

There is hardly an institution in La Jolla that does not benefit from the Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation. Established by the late benefactress, the Foundation is vital to the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Scripps Health, La Jolla Woman’s Club, The Bishop’s School, The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, La Jolla Public Library, Torrey Pines State Park and others.

• How to give: Call (800) 326-3776 for more details

❤ Foundation for Women

Although the Foundation for Women (FFW) has been engaging in microfinance to end poverty since 1997, recent efforts have been shifted toward providing supplies in Liberia to help prevent the spread of Ebola. FFW opened an account at the City National Bank La Jolla branch where a $20 donation will go toward providing a bucket and enough bleach to help sanitize hands to prevent the spread of the virus for one family. • How to give: Mail or drop off a donation to City National Bank, 800 Silverado St., Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92037, or visit FoundationForWomen.org or call (858) 483-0400.

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

Goodie baskets make the best gifts for the hard-to-please By Susan DeMaggio hen you don’t know the size, can’t find the color or haven’t a clue about style preferences, a basket full of something special instead is sure to bring a smile to the recipient. Gift baskets are a gift to gift-givers as well, because contents and cost can be customized — and shopped for all year through. Have fun with the containers — whether baskets, boxes, buckets or bowls — they’ll live on as storage solutions long after the holidays have past. Consider these 10 themes when creating a gift basket for the hard-to-please on your list.

1) Movie Night: Combine 2-3 Academy Award winning films on DVD, with a box of popcorn and a copy of Leonard Maltin’s 2014 Movie Guide. Bravo! 2) Chef’s Special: Toss in some kitchen gadgets, favorite spices, oven mitts and a copy of Martha Stewart’s “One Pot Cookbook” and serve it all up in a shiny frying pan. Bon appétit!

5) Hostess Helper: Fill a tray with holiday napkins, paper plates, candles and tea towels bookended by a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine. Cheers! 6) Love Those Grandkids: What little one wouldn’t treasure a beach pail full of plastic starfish and rubber octopuses, a colorful towel, shovel, sand sifter and sunglasses? Are we there yet? 7) Let’s Get Physical: Gift certificates for a yoga or Pilates class are perfect when tucked in a mat or tagged onto bottles of water. Omm … 8) Let the Music Play: Score a hit with concert tickets to an upcoming performance from La Jolla Music Society (ljms.org), Athenaeum Music & Library (ljathenaeum.org) or La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (lajollasymphony.com). Find schedules and tickets on their websites. For the overture, include the two-disc CD set “Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe,” featuring works by Mozart, Pachelbel and Tchaikovsky and 10 others. Encore! Encore!

3) Beach Date: Take an empty picnic basket and stroll along Girard Avenue in the Village or on Avenida de la Playa in the Shores, filling it with nutritious and delicious bites from the various food emporiums and delis. Tuck in a big blanket and directions to Kellogg or Scripps Park. Surfs up!

9) Walk On: Fill a fanny pack with a variety of socks, a pedometer, visor and reusable water bottle. Include a tube of sunscreen. Print the sandiegohikers.com website address on a business card and add a copy of Jerry Schad’s “50 Best Short Hikes San Diego.” Let’s go!

4) Pamper Package: Body lotions, lip balms, scented candles and a box or two of chocolates and herbal teas will bring a sigh of relief to the winterweary — especially when presented with a soft robe and slippers. Ahhh ….

10) Rise & Shine: Breakfast is on you with a copy of The New York Times, a bag of gourmet coffee and a package of scones wrapped in a basket lined with sunny yellow napkins. (A pancake mix and maple syrup sounds good, too.) Yawn. u

Help for handling holiday happenings

ince we’re a communal melting pot and there are many crossovers among cultures, we’re fortunate to be able to partake in the delights of all the December traditions — social, religious and ethnic. Here’s the line-up of festivities and food highlights for the month’s party offerings so you can pick your pleasure. Cheers! New twist on the old cocktail The secret, sexy cocktail parties of the 1920s during the period of bathtub gin and speakeasies evolved into the cool cocktail culture of the Rat Pack and “Mad Men” era. Today’s trendy cocktail soirees shake things up (like Bond’s martinis) with fun little bites (best made in advance), garden-to-glass sips, and an organized, gracious host who is busy mixing with their guests rather than mixing their drinks. Creative mixologists concoct some farmto-table holiday whistle whetters (which can also be made beforehand) like cilantro gin slushes, sangria with fresh sage leaves, vodka thyme lemonade, a blackberry mint julep or a cucumber basil tequila zinger. Perfect pitch parties Host a caroling party serving up sheet

music for holiday tunes along with harmonious treats. Start with smoked salmon crostini, roasted veggie crudités, and a soul soothing caramelized butternut squash soup. Keep up the tempo with a wild mushroom and chicken puff pastry strudel, and an arugula, pomegranate and pecan salad. For sweet finales Christmas spices roar out of the pantry like cloves, nutmeg, allspice, peppermint, cinnamon and ginger enlivening classic gingerbread and shortbread cookies, mincemeat pies and plum puddings, in addition to other decadent goodies such as cranberry trifle, assorted crème brulees, glazed fresh berries and honey pecan brittle. To wash it down nicely with quintessential holiday comfort drinks, serve top hits including silky smooth eggnog and hotspiced apple or pear cider. Festival of lights and latkes Hanukkah commemorates the ancient miracle when Judah Macabee found a flask that contained enough oil to burn for eight days for the rededication ceremony of their desecrated temple in Jerusalem. Jelly doughnuts aka sufganiyot and latkes or potato pancakes symbolically fried in oil

Ingredients: 1 gallon apple cider 10-inch square cheesecloth Piece of butcher’s twine (long enough to tie) Rind from one Meyer lemon Rind from one orange 4 cinnamon sticks 6 whole cloves 6 allspice berries 1-inch stick fresh ginger 1/4 cup amber honey Method: Place cider and honey in a large pot. Make a sachet piling the rinds and spices in the center of the cheesecloth square, bringing edges together, and tying tightly. Drop into the pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for 8 minutes. Remove sachet and pour cider into mugs. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and whipped cream. served with chunky applesauce and sour cream are part of the modern day menu. Riffs on the traditional potato latkes include sweet potato, zucchini, cheese and assorted root pancakes accompanied by apricot or berry sauces. When my grandma was growing up in Russia, her family performed a beautiful “festival of lights” ritual called the Flaming Tea Ceremony. Everyone was given a glass of hot tea and a chunk of brandy-doused sugar. The lights were dimmed and a lit taper was passed around the room, lighting everyone’s high-octane sugar. When the last person’s sugar was ablaze, they dropped the flaming cubes into their tea and the room sizzled. Then they sang Hanukkah songs and

noshed on old-world apple strudel. Kwanza — The newbie on the block Since 1966, Kwanza, a seven-day secular celebration of African American heritage has been celebrated annually on Dec. 26. “Kwanza” translates from Swahili to “first fruits” in honor of the treasure trove of harvest fruits and veggies from the African soils. Some traditional dishes served during the Kwanza feast are Koki, a black-eyed pea appetizer, peanut soup, okra and greens, anything yam since the root is considered “the king of crops,” and for dessert, a fresh fruit salad or a creamy coconut pie. — For additional holiday recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Postal service sets 2014 Christmas shipping deadlines

he U.S. Postal Service kicked off the holiday shipping season by announcing it will be delivering packages seven days a week in major cities and high-volume areas starting Nov. 17 through Christmas Day in response to expected double-digit package volume growth. It expects to deliver in the range of 450 to 470 million packages this holiday season — roughly 12 percent more than last year. To ensure that holiday mail and packages are delivered in time for Christmas, the Postal Service recommends the following mailing and shipping deadlines: n Dec. 2: First-Class Mail International n Dec. 2: Priority Mail International n Dec. 10: Priority Mail Express International n Dec. 15: Standard Post n Dec. 17: Global Express Guaranteed

n Dec. 20: First-Class Mail n Dec. 20: Priority Mail n Dec. 23: Priority Mail Express* The dates listed above are the earliest deadlines for international and military mail. *Priority Mail Express postage refund eligibility is adjusted for shipments mailed Dec. 22–25. Shipping Advice from the Post Office n The Box: Choose a box with enough room for cushioning material around the contents. Sturdy paperboard or corrugated fiberboard boxes are best for weights up to 10 pounds. If you are reusing a box, totally remove or obliterate all previous labels and markings with heavy black marker. Flat Rate boxes make shipping simple. For just one flat rate, if it fits it ships! Small box $5.95. Medium box $12.65. Large box $17.90.

Express $44.95. (Domestic delivery) n Cushioning: Place the cushioning all around your item or items. You can use newspaper, foam peanuts, or shredded paper. Close and shake the box to see if you have enough cushioning. If you hear items shifting, add more cushioning. n Fragile Items: Use foamed plastic or padding to protect your items, placing the cushioning inside hollow items as well. Mark the package “Fragile” or mark “Perishable” on packages that contain food or other items that can spoil. Careful packaging is the best way to safeguard items against damage. n Heavy Items: Start with a sturdy box, pack the contents securely with a strong

Let’s Review WILL BOWEN

Artist Erin Hanson’s work charms at La Jolla Library

here were a lot of happy folks at the La Jolla Library Art Gallery Nov. 16 for the opening of “The Colors of California,” and that’s because the walls of the gallery were filled with the emotionally rich and vibrantly colorful California landscapes of Erin Hanson. The paintings put stars in everybody’s eyes. On top of that, Hanson charmed everyone in the house with her big smile and effervescent personality. This is the first time the Library Art Gallery has had a one-person show and Hanson proved more than worthy of the honor. “Patricia Jasper Clark and I discovered her at the La Jolla Festival of the Arts this spring,” said Arlene Powers, co-chair of the library art committee. “We were both so taken by her work that we decided to ask her if she would be willing to show in our gallery. “We usually like to feature a group exhibit so we can support as many local artists as possible, but we felt strongly that this time Hanson could carry the whole exhibition — her work just seems to show a love affair with California.” Co-chair Jasper Clark added, “There just seems to be something organic from inside trying to be born in her paintings.” Hanson said she paints in a studio in Glendale from landscape photographs she’s taken. “But, I’m an outdoor girl,” she said, explaining she grew up in an Eagle Scout family, camping, hiking and rock climbing. She is different from other landscape painters because of the vivid

colors she uses — purple trees and blue rocks. Hanson does not thin her paints nor practice layering. She uses an enormous amount of thick paint for each work, which is applied with passion. She’s a hard worker, too. She paid her own way through a private high school and UC Berkeley. These days she paints about 10 hours a day, seven days a week, while listening to audio books — science fiction and the classics. “I have listened to Ray Bradbury’s ‘Martian Chronicles’ a dozen times or more, and all of Charles Dickens’ works,” she boasts. It all adds up to a new style of painting Hanson calls “Open Impressionism” — a combination of impressionism and expressionism, with a bit of the abstract thrown in, and a big invitation to the viewer to participate in the creation of the work by way of their imagination. “I have always wanted to be a Van Gogh or a Monet,” she laughed. Hanson’s paintings work. From across the room, they reach out to you with colorful clarity. Up close, her sea of strokes offer a completely different experience than what’s seen from afar, as does each stop at a different distance of viewing. Hanson grew up in La Canada, the daughter of a computer programmer and a teacher. She said TV-viewing was not allowed at home, so everyone read a lot and played a musical instrument, except Hanson. She focused on drawing and painting, but with

Retirement Announcement for R. Scott Boughton M.D.

Dear Patients, A quarter century after opening a dermatology practice in my hometown, I have decided to retire. It has been my distinct honor and privilege to care both medically and personally for all of you. I would have preferred to thank each of you individually, but having seen more than twenty thousand different patients makes that impractical. I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed our relationship as much as I. Working with the other very capable and affable physicians of Boughton Dermatology who took over the practice four years ago has been a great pleasure. I am grateful that they will be available to continue serving your dermatologic needs. I thank you all and wish you the best as I enter this new phase of life.

Sincerely,

Scott Boughton

Artist Erin Hanson welcomes guests at the Nov. 16 opening of her ‘Colors of California’ exhibit at La Jolla Library. Hanson said she paints with an Open Impressionism style using ‘vivid colors, bold brush strokes and a fresh, modern style to capture the beautiful wine countries and coastal regions of California.’ Will Bowen the same attention to the importance of practice known to musicians. As a youngster, she often painted alongside adults who warned her not to try and make a living out of art. Consequently, she ended up studying engineering at UC Berkeley. However, she found that working in the field was not as satisfying as studying it. After graduation, she sold warehouse items on eBay for eight years, after which she had enough resources to turn her attention back to painting full-time. “My goal as an artist is to bring the beauty of nature to the viewer,” she said. “I want you to see the colors of the land. I want to capture the emotional gradient of the landscape — to dramatize it. Each painting is more of an emotion than a representation. My paintings are an escape

from the everyday. They are idealized versions of life.” La Jollan Charles Cornwald said he liked Hanson’s “vibrant colors” and Renee Zanzinni agreed. Anita Brynolf (retired after 44 years of teaching art at Mesa College) called Hanson’s work “gorgeous — some of the best landscapes I have ever seen.” Dolphin & Hawk Gallery co-owner Tasha Zogo said she was attracted to the abstract element in Hanson’s work, while Nina Bernstein, who is studying to be a director at Mesa College’s Theater Department said, “Her work makes me so happy.” u n IF YOU GO: “The Colors of California” is on view during library hours and runs through Jan. 31 in the La Jolla Library’s Community Room at 7555 Draper Ave. More at ErinHanson.com

of SAN DIEGO. The petition for Probate requests that MARK A. SPIEGLER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 12.11.2014 Time: 1:30 p.m. Dept.: PC-2. Address of court: same as noted above. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: GARRISON R. ARMSTRONG, ESQ. 530 B Street, Suite 1800 San Diego, CA 92101 619.232.1811 LJ1803.

UC Davis building named in honor of the late Ann E. Pitzer A new classroom and recital hall building at UC Davis will be posthumously named the Ann E. Pitzer Center to honor the La Jolla alumna who donated $5 million toward the building. The gift from the late Ann E. Pitzer and the naming were announced Nov. 13 at a reception for the UC Davis Foundation Board and guests. Pitzer, a well-known California Ann E. Pitzer philanthropist, graduated from UC Davis in 1958 with a degree in home economics and was a longtime and active supporter of the university. She died on Oct. 15. u

the hidden dangers of being overweight with Varicose Veins It is widely known that being overweight can cause a multitude of health problems, including diabetes, arthritis and heart disease, among others. What is not as commonly known is the dangers and difficulties that may be hiding in the form of varicose veins. Not only are they more likely to occur in those that are overweight, but

they are also more difficult to diagnose and treat. On average, about 30% of people will develop varicose veins at some point in their life, and that number is even higher for those that are overweight. But for many of those overweight people, their varicose veins go undiagnosed. One reason for this is that the bulging veins are often simply harder to see when there is more fat under the skin. Another symptom of varicose veins is discomfort and heaviness of the legs. Again, these warning signs may go misdiagnosed because they become attributed to the patient’s weight problem itself. One of the hidden dangers here is that when varicose veins are left untreated, they can cause skin damage on the lower leg, and those who are overweight are already at a greater risk of leg ulceration. One of the main reasons it is difficult for

overweight patients to locate swollen veins is that while on a standard-sized leg, the veins usually reside 1-2 cm under the skin, in a larger leg they can be 4-5 cm below the surface. An experienced doctor, however, will be able to use a duplex ultrasound scan to diagnose varicose veins. This non-invasive procedure can “see” below the skin and assess the condition of the veins at any depth. For this reason, it is important to get checked out by an experience professional if there is any indication that you might be suffering from varicose veins. Lastly, the added problems can carry over into the treatment of varicose veins. The normally minimally invasive laser treatment can be much more difficult for the surgeon and can cause much more discomfort in the patient. Additionally, if the treatment option involves general anesthesia, an overweight patient is opening themselves up to other

risks. And if they choose an alternative, non-surgical solution like compression stockings, this too carries additional danger. Stockings can often slip down the leg, and on an over-sized thigh, they are much more likely to fall and bunch around the knee, which in turn can make varicose veins even worse. Like with most health conditions, one of the keys to successful care is early diagnosis and treatment. If you think you may suffer from varicose veins, do not wait or dismiss the potential dangers. Consult with a vein specialist as soon as possible. At the San Diego Vein Institute, each stage of our diagnosis and treatment is preformed by doctors specializing in vein care.

What is a Documentary Transfer Tax? this is a tax imposed by the County for the transfer of property. When your sale is recorded by the county showing the ownership transfer on a new Grant deed, the county collects a “transfer fee”. it is usually charged to the seller in southern California and it amounts to $1.10 per $1,000 of the sales price. at this time, only the county collects this tax. in some cities in our state, the city also collects a tax. escrow figures out the amount of this tax, and it is charged to the seller and appears on the final closing statement. this tax usually does not need to be paid if there is no actual money involved in the transfer. an example of this could be if you transfer the property to your trust, or it was a gift to a family member. But be sure to do the correct paperwork on this transfer. sometimes an affidavit needs to be completed, signed, and attached to the recording to state why no transfer tax is required. this tax is interesting, for just like many buyer/seller charges in California, this charge is usually paid by the buyer in northern California.
