The remodeled Shepherd YMCA Firehouse on Herschel Avenue opened its doors Dec. 1 after completion of the historic building’s adaptive re-use project.

La Jolla YMCA opens new Village location BY JAMES PALEN Patrons and would-be patrons of the La Jolla YMCA who live or work near the Village are no longer limited to trekking up the oft-congested lanes of Torrey Pines Road to log their fitness hours, now that the Shepherd YMCA Firehouse location on Herschel Avenue has opened. Although technically open for business since Dec. 1, the opening of the re-purposed historic firehouse-turned-fitness facility was celebrated last week with a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony.

SURVEY SAYS ...

Merchants review results of desired businesses wishlist BY ASHLEY MACKIN Tired of the shuttered storefronts and empty retail spaces in town, La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association (LJVMA) member Elsie Arredondo set out to answer the question: What would you like to see in the Village of La Jolla? With the objective of developing a marketing package to share with business brands that might flourish in the Village, Arredondo sent out a three-question survey to 2,482 La Jolla and San Diego residents and visitors in February. Waiting until there were enough responses to give the board some guidance, SEE VILLAGE SURVEY, A10

La Jolla Town Council sets meeting to discuss proposal

BY ASHLEY MACKIN special meeting has been called to review the findings of a La Jolla Town Council committee, dubbed the Coastal Committee, which formed a few months ago to find a solution to the three-pronged problem of sea lions at La Jolla Cove. The meeting will be 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 12 at La Jolla Community Center, 6811 La Jolla Blvd. Town Council president Steve Haskins made the announcement at the group’s Dec. 10 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. He later told La Jolla Light the committee identified three problems pertaining to the sea lions and thinks it has found a solution to them all. “The three issues we’re looking at are their smell, the bad interactions between humans and sea lions in which someone could be hurt, and the contamination of the water and sand at La Jolla Cove,” Haskins said.

La Jolla Town Council president Steve Haskins

The ‘Cove Stench’ or continuing foul odor at La Jolla Cove is caused by sea lion and bird waste, according to City of San Diego officials. For years, sea lions have made the natural habitat of La Jolla Cove as their year-round home.

FROM SEA LIONS, A1 “So the committee looked at a lot of solutions that other cities up and down the coast have tried, which will be addressed at the presentation,” Haskins said. “We’ve developed a solution based on our research that’s workable, low tech, will probably solve the problem for not a lot of money, and something for which there is already a precedent. La Jolla is lucky in that it’s easier for us to solve our sea lion problem because we have the model of what other cities have tried.” The committee has been proactively meeting for the last few months, Haskins said, and consists of Town Council trustees Yolanda de Riquer, Taylor Bloom, Joe

Although the issue of the odors is not as prevalent during the winter months, Haskins still encourages people to attend the meeting and “put your two cents in.” He said “Right now because it’s cold and the waves are larger and they wash the bluffs, people aren’t as concerned, but just wait until it gets warm and starts to smell again, people will get worried.”

In other Town Council news:

Pitrofsky and Lawrence Zynda. Following the Jan. 12 presentation, the committee will accept feedback and explain where the proposal will go from there.

■ New members added: First vice-president Pitrofsky announced that 15 new members had joined the Town Council. These members will be eligible to run for a trustee position during the board’s next election in March 2016.

■ Busy January meeting planned: With the holiday season, several Town Council mainstays were put on hold in December, including the Sunsetter mixer and “new ideas presentations.” However, they will both resume in the New Year. Also at the January meeting, a presentation by Alexis Munoz of the San Diego Department of Health & Human Services Community Heath Engagement Team will be given to discuss county health statistics. The presentation was scheduled for the December meeting, but postponed. — La Jolla Town Council meets 5 p.m. second Thursdays at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. The next meeting will be Jan. 14.

Warwick’s: The finer things in life never change FROM WARWICK’S REPORTS In our world that seems flooded with texting and tweeting digital zombies drifting down the sidewalks glued to their smartphones, it’s nice to see evidence that some of the finer things in life never change. Call them old fashioned. Call them traditional. The truth is, people are returning to the art of writing handmade letters with fountain pens, jotting down their thoughts in Moleskin journals, and carrying hand-crafted leather briefcases or purses. Nowhere is this pull of technology and tradition more obvious than at Warwick’s, the oldest continuous family-owned and operated bookstore in the United States. Sure, you can go there to buy an ultra slim phone charger or a selfie stick, but Warwick’s continues the age-old tradition of celebrating the beauty of the craft of writing. Warwick’s carries one of the largest selection of fine pens and stationery to be found in San Diego County. From the best-selling rollerballs from Retro 1951, to modern industrial fountain pens from Lamy of Germany, to the elegant time-honored pens from Waterman, Cross and Parker, Warwick’s has the writing instruments to fit any taste or budget.

why he still writes with fine pens and paper, he said, “I prefer using a tool that is enjoyable. The fountain pen is a different experience to writing, and the relaxed smoothness makes my ideas flow faster to paper. Paper is more tangible than pixels on a display, and can last longer. To put the best ideas to paper, one should use the best tools.” If Warwick’s is any indication, people are not willing to give up on the finer things in life. The personal touch of the handwritten note, and the firm weight of a fine pen in hand, are timeless traditions not destined to be replaced by technology. A life with these elegant things, the tangible real things, is a life Warwick’s customers continue to embrace. In celebration of pen to paper, and craftsmanship, Warwick’s is offering 20 percent off fine writing instruments, and 10 percent off fine leather until Christmas.

Elsie Arredondo explains the results of a survey that asked people what types of businesses they want for La Jolla.

you would like to see here. Arredondo noted that though there were 101 surveys returned, not all of them answered all three questions. Eighty-nine respondents answered the first question, and 37 percent said their No. 1 reason for coming to La Jolla was the restaurants. Percentages were specific to the

decimal, and just over 25 percent (25.84 to be exact) said their top reason was shopping, and just over 21 percent said because they had business or were volunteering in the Village. Other responses, at less than 10 percent each, were visiting the Cove, going to a sports club or for museums/art. The second question, Arredondo explained, was more open-ended and had 96 responses. “The results were more narrative in nature, but we read through all 101 surveys and categorized the answers,” she said. Listing three types of businesses they’d like to see in the Village, respondents again said restaurants, followed by retail shops, and then music/dancing, department stores, grocery stores, specialty bars, bakeries/small bites, furniture and boutiques. Regarding specific businesses, 95

FROM VILLAGE SURVEY, A1 she reported her findings during the Dec. 9 LJVMA meeting. Arredondo did much of the work as a one-person committee, but when new members Brett Murphy and Ike Fazzio joined LJVMA in November, they also joined her efforts. “The board came up with a new campaign to identify businesses that could thrive in the Village and figure out how to bring them here,” she explained. “One of our first steps was to identify what kinds of businesses we need. This survey narrowed our focus quite a bit and gave us a direction.” The survey asked respondents: What is your top reason for visiting the Village of La Jolla? List three types of businesses you’d like to see here. List three established businesses

respondents ranked grocery stores at No. 1, followed by Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, clothing, shoes/bags, technology, bakery, furniture, music/theater and food truck businesses. In the narrative answers, Arredondo said, there was a demand for both cost-effective and upscale options in dining, shopping and furniture, and organic markets. To further quantify the results, Arredondo said the committee is next looking for a high-traffic establishment, such as La Jolla Sports Club, where they could take a refined survey to identify specific brands to recruit. For example, they might present a list of grocery stores, such as Whole Foods, Trader Joes or Sprouts, and ask patrons which one they’d prefer. SEE VILLAGE SURVEY, A30

FROM YMCA FIREHOUSE, A1 Already noting a welcoming enthusiasm among locals, YMCA management expects the new location not to replace the offerings of the larger La Jolla facility further north on Cliffridge Avenue, but rather to complement it, and to perhaps help serve a group that might not otherwise have considered the Y. Sue Ball, regional vice president of YMCA of San Diego County, said feedback has been pouring in on the convenience of the new facility, which is technically a satellite branch of the Cliffridge Avenue site. That the new location is within walking distance for people who spend much of their time in the Village has been a main point of excitement, Ball said. “Also, it just has a different feel,” she added. “If you like that feel, working out in a smaller, more intimate space, some people will choose that.” Part of the experience is the space’s urban appeal. From the interior’s exposed trusses and use of metallic finishes to the large firehouse door on rollers — kept open during hours of operation — the modern interior in contrast to the historical building’s façade can’t go unnoticed. Designed by architect Trip Bennett III, known for his architectural work in adaptive re-use of historic structures, the $1.5 million renovation of the space included considerable restoration of the historic firehouse’s exterior. But it also included significant changes to its interior that made plans for the space achievable. Most noteworthy, perhaps, was the opening of the interior spaces through the addition of a SEE YMCA FIREHOUSE, A30

JAMES PALEN

Furnished with an array of equipment, including treadmills, bike machines and other machines, the new Shepherd YMCA Firehouse on Herschel Avenue is open for business, with a more modern feel on its interior despite the restored historic building in which it resides. Additional equipment, such as adjustable TRX machines, and fitness programs are planned to be introduced in early 2016.

Reflections and Admonitions

‘Last of the President’s Men’ talks about Nixon years in new book with Bob Woodward BY WILL BOWEN A sell-out crowd, composed mostly of older adults and a sprinkling of students, was on hand at the Price Center East Ballroom at UC San Diego Dec. 4, to hear Tulane University professor of history and economics Michael Bernstein interview bestselling author and Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward, and former Nixon White House aide (and Watergate informant) Alexander Butterfield, who is the subject of Woodward’s new book, “The Last of the President’s Men.” A sequel to the legendary “All the President’s Men,” written with fellow Washington Post journalist Carl Bernstein, Woodward’s new book has been hailed as “the most influential piece of journalism in history” and “the greatest reporting effort of all time.” The newspaper articles and book that preceded it, which revealed the Watergate scandal and forced Nixon to eventually resign the presidency, garnered a Pulitzer Prize for the Post. The UCSD panel discussion, which sold out in a matter a days, came as a collaboration between the Helen Edison Lecture Series, The UCSD Library, UCSD Extension Division, and UCSD TV — the group that last month partnered to bring polio vaccine discoverer Jonas Salk’s two sons to campus to help inaugurate a new library exhibit of their father’s papers. Bernstein, who formerly was a UCSD

WILL BOWEN

Bob Woodward, Alexander Butterfield and Michael Bernstein at UCSD, Dec. 3 faculty member as well its Dean of Arts & Humanities, began the evening by introducing Woodward and Butterfield. Woodward, 72, was at the Washington Post for more than 44 years and has written numerous books about the American political scene. Butterfield, 89, a Distinguished Flying Cross recipient and a Nixon White House aide who grew up across the bay in Coronado, was formerly a graduate student under Bernstein at UCSD. At that time, Butterfield was investigating the role of presidential pardons in American history. Woodward and Butterfield, who seem to

Take advantage of our retirement prices t h i s h o l i d ay s e a s o n

have become good friends, partnered to write “The Last of the President’s Men.” The book offers further revelations into the personae of Richard Nixon and the Watergate times. The overarching theme is: Do we really know enough about the candidates we are electing? The book also asks us to bring more transparency to the office of the president, which has traditionally been a closed system surrounded by a wall of secrecy. Woodward made the point that “history is never over.” Even though his book clarifies who Nixon was, he said we may never have a final account of the man and his actions. Woodward continued by explaining how

Butterfield brought both his memories of being the one responsible for scheduling Nixon’s day-to-day activities (and the one responsible for overseeing the installation of the secret audio-taping system installed in the White House by Secret Service agents under Nixon’s direction) — in addition to 20 boxes of White House documents he had secreted away for posterity — to their collaboration. One incredulous document that came out of the boxes was the “Zilch Memo.” In this Jan. 2, 1972 memo, Nixon calls the bombing of Vietnam with 29 million tons of explosives a failure, with the effect of “zilch,” even though the day before he went on national TV saying the bombing campaign was a success. Nixon knew the bombing responsible for killing countless thousands of innocent civilians was a failure, yet he continued to order it and lie about its effectiveness because it was popular with some people and helped assure his re-election, the book reveals. Butterfield said he resigned his commission as a Colonel in the U.S. Air Force stationed in Australia as a career move to work in the White House under Nixon’s Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman. “Although I liked the hell out of Nixon as a person,” he said, “the president had a dark and petty side that few people saw, unless you were around him on a daily basis.” SEE NIXON BOOK, A20

FROM NIXON BOOK, A18 He said Nixon was obsessed with his rivals and enemies and would go to illegal lengths to silence them or bring them down. Butterfield also said that Nixon was also a very lonely person who did not even communicate with his wife, Pat. To illustrate this, Butterfield shared the story of being on a plane with the Nixons. Pat asked her husband if he would like to go to New York with their girls for the holidays, and Nixon ignored her question, never even looking up from the legal pad he was scribbling on. Butterfield also noted that even though as President of the United States, Nixon could have dinner with anyone in the world, he preferred to retire to his private library in the evenings to have dinner alone, prepared for him by his attendant Manuola Sanchez. Butterfield speculated whether Americans would have elected Nixon if they knew more about how he really was. Woodward followed this point with the overall moral of the story: “We better know who the next President is!” he warned, “and make sure he or she better care more about what’s good for the American people and not what is good for him (or her) personally!” Woodward also reflected on the blanket pardon that Gerald Ford gave Nixon; an act that eventually resulted in Ford’s defeat by Jimmy Carter. “I remember that my co-worker, Carl Bernstein, called me on the phone after he heard about the pardon and remarked, ‘The son of a bitch just pardoned the son of a bitch!’ ” Bernstein concluded the evening by

The cover of the book features Richard Nixon strolling across the White House lawn with aide Alexander Butterfield. thanking Butterfield for his courage in revealing the existence of the White House tapes to the U.S. Senate, pivotal testimony without which Nixon would probably have been able to remain in office, as Nixon repeatedly denied the existence of the tapes. “You saved democracy in America by answering that one simple question truthfully,” Bernstein said. ♦

Ranger Rye Reports Shoreline parks patroller describes first year on the job BY ASHLEY MACKIN t’s been one year (well, almost) since Parish Rye took the position of Shoreline Park Ranger to patrol La Jolla’s parks. His coverage area begins at Tourmaline Park (on the border between La Jolla and Pacific Beach) and continues up to Torrey Pines Gliderport, covering everything in between — including Children’s Pool, La Jolla Cove, Scripps Park, Kellogg Park and smaller pocket parks. Rye began his patrol in January and on Dec. 7 gave a summary report to the La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) committee during its monthly meeting at the Rec Center. He revealed to the group the most common violations noted, and a snapshot of crime statistics. The list he presented did not include the number of citations written, but the number of times Rye contacted someone about a violation. Ranger Rye is not a police officer. LJP&B chair Dan Allen said, “This report will tell us how things are at our parks. There are issues we’ve noticed and heard complaints about over the years, and the community has asked why the city doesn’t do (something).” With more than 10 years of patrolling other areas of San Diego, chiefly Balboa Park, Rye reported he has a compliance rate of “100 percent” — people are willing to comply with the law, when it’s pointed out to them. The first two months of his La Jolla patrol, he said, involved primarily observation. “I needed to see who was doing what and what the problems were.” But over the subsequent months, the issues that would occupy Rye’s time began to unfold. The most frequent included off-leash/prohibited dogs,

“disturbances,” and parking and traffic issues. Rye reported a total of 186 contacts for off-leash dogs or dogs on-leash during restricted hours. Dogs are prohibited (even on leash) in Scripps Park after 9 a.m. and permitted after 4 p.m. during the winter months and after 6 p.m. otherwise. Similarly, in Kellogg Park and on the La Jolla Shores boardwalk, dogs are prohibited from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. He said the majority of contacts involved restricted hour issues. “I personally have not come across a huge number of off-leash violations. My contacts have mostly been over hours when tourists don’t know you can’t have a dog, even on-leash, during certain times of day.” Rye noted that there are signs along the boardwalk in La Jolla Shores explaining the rules. “I’m a big advocate for signage, because it’s the same speech over

and over again. But in all 186 cases, the response was ‘Yes sir, I understand, I’ll comply.’ This goes all the way down to Tourmaline Park and Calumet Park in Bird Rock,” he said. “It’s a big issue in Calumet Park. I’ve made a lot of enemies down there. But I’ve made a few friends, too.” Rye said there were eight contacts pertaining to non-pinniped animals, including an adventurous dog. “There was one dog that refused to stay in the backyard, whose owner actually lives right around here (near the Rec Center), and we were able to convince the homeowner to fill in the hole in the fence. I include that in animal non-pinniped,” he said. Other animal calls included injured birds and wildlife. Rye said there were 415 contacts over “disturbances.” “Disturbances are basically a fight that isn’t a fight yet. I would get involved and separate people ready to fight and calm the situation. These are not incidences, but they could have been,” he reported. Of the more than 170 traffic or parking violations, many involved vehicles parked or stopped in a red zone. He said there were 125 contacts about red zone violations, with an additional 42 violations involving busses parking in a red zone to unload passengers at La Jolla Cove. “The 125 contacts were mostly at Kellogg Park on the east end, where everyone gets out and unloads (while parked in a red zone) and I have to figure out how to stop them from doing that. ... Because as soon as I drive I away, I look in my

rearview mirror and see a row of cars doing it again,” he said. There were also five contacts for vehicles parked in a handicap-access space, which Rye noted can cost around $700 in fines. “I also participated in several meetings with the police department for issues relating to traffic violations,” he said. There were other activities in which he played a secondary or tertiary role, he said, assisting other rangers or lifeguards. For example, he helped with crowd control and vehicle traffic during three suicide attempts and four auto accidents. Further, during missing children situations, Rye said lifeguards often handle the search, but he is occasional flagged by a frantic parent and gets involved. In his first year, Rye assisted in five missing children searches. All five were found.

Notable statistics from patrolling La Jolla’s parks: ■ 26 contacts with ice cream trucks or other illegal vendors ■ 20 alcohol violations ■ 18 smoking violations ■ 12 contacts for slack-lining, mostly in Kellogg Park ■ 10 violations of tent regulations (rangers must be able to see all the way through a tent to thwart drug use and lewd

and lascivious behavior). ■ 3 contacts for Marine Protected Area issues, include catch violations ■ 3 contacts to assist Ranger Rich Belesky at Children’s Pool ■ 3 vandalism reports ■ 2 “welfare” checks of someone unconscious in the park ■ 1 child molestation report, in which a couple reported a man taking pictures of children at WindanSea Beach. ■ There were 13 “criminal” contacts, including fights, reports of knives calls, tire slashing, domestic violence, drug sales, intoxicated persons, DUI and lewd comments. ■ There were 18 “public safety” reports, including helping a child who fell out of a tree and broke his wrist (Rye worked with lifeguards on that) and transient camps. ■ Within the “other” category, Rye includes glass in the park (non-alcohol), stolen bags from a beach, loud music, removal of city property and a 911 call about a sea lion being harassed. All said, Allen commented, “It sounds like, in my mind, your activities justify the addition of this position.” The $115,000 for the shoreline park ranger and associated equipment was part of the fiscal year 2015 budget approved by the San Diego City Council on June 9, 2014. City Council President Sherri Lightner, whose district covers La Jolla, advocated for the ranger posting. ♦

Everett Stunz bedding store will remain in the Village

BY ASHLEY MACKIN The Everett Stunz luxury bedding, linen and mattress shop — considered an anchor store in the Village of La Jolla — will stay at its 7616 Girard Ave. location, owner Phil Coller announced. Although the plan was to close the Village store and focus on the Everett Stunz location in Westfield UTC Shopping Center, which has been open for 18 months, the UTC store has had to close in light of renovations underway at the mall. Rather than explore a whole new location, management decided to “re-commit” to the Village location and remain open.

“Once we knew (we had to close the UTC location), we worked with the mall to make the move as smooth as possible. We might go back there when the time is right,” Coller said. “But we are so happy to stay.” He added, “We are going to be open seven days a week, which will hopefully bring some traffic to this end of La Jolla, and be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day. We hope all our La Jolla customers will still come and see us. We also hope to bring the UTC customers to La Jolla to see us here.” Should they decide to open again in UTC, it would be a second location, rather than a

sole location. In summer 2014, Coller opened the Everett Stunz in UTC and in May 2015, announced the Village location would close once the entire inventory was sold. Over the last several months, a sign has been posted in the door indicating the Girard Avenue store would soon close. “We really struggled with the decision to close this store,” Coller said, and that after 54 years in the Village, “it was a lot to leave behind.” Management was hoping for better exposure and access at the UTC location, prompting the move.

WHERE IS

But the UTC mall is undergoing a $500 million renovation that will add 400,000 net square feet and 2,000 parking spaces. The area where the Everett Stunz store is located will be demolished as part of the renovation, and while Coller knew the demolition would affect their business, he thought it wouldn’t be until 2017. But plans suddenly accelerated, and Coller was told their store would be demolished starting January 2016 and in mid-December they were told they would have to shut down the store. ■ Everett Stunz, 7616 Girard Ave., La Jolla.

I miss Moondoogie’s and Hard Rock Cafe for places to hear local jazz and good, live music. Fun places like those would be great to see back in town. — Mark Egan, La Jolla Resident We need more boutique shops with unique merchandise that draw shoppers here to get the cool stuff they can’t find anywhere else. — Theresa Anderson, Sweet Paper

I’d like to see more places with live music because I love to dance! — Ashley O’Donell, La Jolla Light

We need more healthful dining choices in the evening hours. We have great lunch spots for the hippy-healthy in the daytime, but such restaurants are hard to come by at night. — Cassy Dasilva, Authentic Pilates

I’d like to see more reasonably priced clothing stores. If the rents were lower, or if there were less expensive spaces (to rent) more businesses would come. — Charlie Bostrom, San Diego Errand Guy

I’d like to see more performing arts facilities, specifically for dance. UCSD has a theater and has dance performances, but I’d like more of that in the Village. — Tatana Tekerian, La Jolla Resident

La Jolla needs places where people can go to hear good live music, more than just a single musician playing. — Quinn Strauser, Geppetto’s Toys

OUR READERS WRITE Homeowners on that side of the road are surely bothered, but for the bigger picture, it is such an ugly sight as one arrives in La Jolla, sitting at the light at Hidden Valley/Torrey Pines Road at the Parkway. I’m sending this to you because somehow, when the La Jolla Light gets involved, things get done! — Representing a group of neighbors Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light took this concern to Community Relations Police Officer Larry Hesselgesser and received this response on Dec. 10: “I will have our parking enforcement look into this. If the vehicle is 27 feet long and 7 feet high, it meets the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance (OVO) and can be cited over night. If it is currently registered and legally parked, it can be there for 72 hours.” On Dec. 11 Officer Hesselgesser reported: “Our OVO Officer determined the truck is OVO, so he was able to cite it and mark it for 72 hours. If it is still there in 3 days, we can tow it.”

Neighbors question the legality of having over-sized trucks in their neighborhood longterm, such as this truck spotted in La Jolla.

Oversized trucks don’t belong in residential neighborhoods I promised some neighbors that I would send this photograph to the La Jolla Light, in case you wanted it as an example of parking problems never dealt with! This big billboard of a truck sits at the entry to La Jolla, just at the bottom of the Parkway on the north side. It rarely moves. It just sits parked, month after month.

Let’s form a group to address homeless issue in the Village of La Jolla As a retired resident of the Village area, I’ve noticed an increase in the homeless population, and I’ve read in the daily newspaper that there is going to be a war on homelessness. But I do not see this as a problem the mayor and the City Council can address, unless they allot funds for each neighborhood to handle their own areas. I know the La Jolla scene is different than Pacific Beach’s, so the solutions must come from us, merchants and concerned citizens. I have a few ideas and think it would be a good idea for others to meet with

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) me and brainstorm this project. I’m tired of shopping at Vons and other Village stores where homeless (block entrances and leave belongings behind). If people want to really try to end homelessness in our area one idea is to have an advocate here to walk and talk to the people living on the street, to try and find a way to connect them to the government services that can help. Everyone needs help at times and if someone is steering these people in the right direction, maybe helping one person will grow into helping many. Some of the homeless, as I have learned, are veterans, people with mental problems or addictions that the government provides services for if one is steered in the right direction. I for one am willing to do my share and would look forward to finding creative people to help in this matter. — J. Williams Editor’s Note: Because the La Jolla Town Council is the forum for community issues, perhaps your ideas could be presented there and you may connect with interested volunteers. The next meeting is 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14 at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

Traffic caution to all La Jollans from a school principal Last week, there was an accident in which a Torrey Pines Elementary School student was injured while walking to school. Even by walking with supervision, and stopping to check if the path is clear, she was hit by a car pulling into the TPES driveway. The student has injuries, but fortunately, they were not severe, and she should recover well. Almost every day as I supervise traffic at drop off and pick up, I see unsafe practices that could result in an accident

Locals speak out about proposal to demolish Su Casa eatery Many readers responded to the Dec. 3 La Jolla Light story, “Su Casa demolition, redevelopment proposal heard,” in which the La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee heard in November a presentation on a proposal to redevelop the Su Casa properties at La Jolla Boulevard and Playa Del Norte Street, to replace the existing, longtime restaurant and apartment building with a mixed-use development and two residential buildings. Here are some comments: • “Best table side guacamole! Leave Anthony's Fish Grotto, Su Casa and any long established restaurants alone.” — Becky Bradley • “Su Casa has got to be about 50 years old? Probably time for renewal at that corner.” — Renee Walter • “We went to Su Casa restaurant last night; many happy memories with wonderful margaritas. Next time, we will video the restaurant as a memorial video.” — Ralph Castro and Marjorie Silva • “Su Casa is a landmark.

What a shame to see it replaced with what? Another Tuscan/tasteful 3-story building which looks like every other building in San Diego?” — Jamie Nay • “I think it's time for improvements, more housing and more retail options in WindanSea.

and/or people being injured on foot or in cars. Please take this moment to reflect on safe driving — especially around the school! Please follow the traffic pattern set up for our students' safety, follow all traffic laws and the safety patrol notifications, have patience during drop off and pick up, and be extra vigilant when pulling into and out of driveways and at all intersections. We further encourage you to have a conversation with your student(s), as well, about safety. They are small and not easily seen, so it is quite important that they also take extra care and vigilance when walking or biking to school. I’ve also been asked by our neighbors across the street from the school’s front entrance to remind parents that they cannot park in the alley. Parents who leave their cars to go pick up their students are blocking our neighbors from leaving their homes. This also means that parents and children are crossing in the middle of the block as cars are pulling away from the curb — a dangerous practice as people are not expecting someone to come into the street in the middle of the block. — Donna S. Tripi Principal, La Jolla Elementary School

Candidiates must focus on issues, not personalities Mudslinging is actually a century-old sport, played in rural areas where other forms of entertainment were not available.

How does one join the La Jolla Newcomers Club? The La Jolla Light arrived today and on page B13 of the Dec. 3 issue I found an interesting article, “Club invites newcomers to December events.” Thinking it could be interesting to attend a meeting, I looked for and was unable to find an address where the Newcomers Club meets. We consider ourselves newcomers even though my wife and I were both born and raised in La Jolla many years ago, when the Scripps Hospital was located on Prospect Street.

Youth football wins national title behind La Jolla QB

■ Los Toros Bulls capture American Youth Football’s 11U National Championships

just wanted to play our “bestWeandreally win a couple games. It’s

BY JAMES PALEN A young La Jollan helped bring national recognition to a San Diego-area youth football program. On Dec. 11, the Spring Valley-based Los Toros Bulls, competing in the national championship of American Youth Football’s 11U division, won their final game of 2015. The win came as many others had during the season for the team: as a blowout. But as described by Muirlands Middle School student Jackson Stratton, this one had more meaning than the others, bringing the team to the end of what was literally a long road traveled for a national title. Held in Kissimmee, Florida Dec. 7-11, the American Youth Football National Championship 11U games featured teams from Texas, Florida, Illinois, New York, Connecticut, Virginia and California. The 11U Bulls defeated three of them en route to their title, a run that culminated in that 20-6 victory Dec. 11 over Virginia’s Playmaker South Elite. Speaking with La Jolla Light three days earlier, having already earned with his team one victory in the championship’s opening round, Stratton emanated a sense of humility alongside an excited confidence. “We really just wanted to play our best and win a couple games,” Stratton said. “It’s really exciting because there are cameras everywhere, but it’s a little scary because you don’t want to mess up. And if you do, you know people are watching.” Halfway (at the time) to winning those couple of games, he said a championship was in the team’s thoughts, but that playing competitive football against other teams earning national attention was goal No. 1. While not desirable, a loss would not have deflated the team’s belief in itself, he said. “I

think everyone would be OK with that, because we know these are the best teams in all of the nation. Of course, we want to win.” More than being among the best in the nation in their division, Stratton and his teammates can now say they are the best team. Being the team’s quarterback, Stratton said he saw himself throughout the season as someone who was looked at to lead. That was a task he took to heart, he said, and one he grew to enjoy as he became accustomed to calling plays and setting game tempo. “I’m the one that has to motivate them,” Stratton said. “Other years, I’ve played outside linebacker and running back. This is my second year playing quarterback. The first year was kind of learning to play the position.” This second year, apparently, was about learning to win. Bulls coach David Faulksaid he wasn’t surprised by Stratton’s careful approach to game prediction, or to the game itself. Speaking that same day with La Jolla Light, Faulk said overconfidence didn’t seem to be an issue with his team SEE YOUTH FOOTBALL, A30

all season long, despite the fact the Bulls carried a lead in

mezzanine, the removal of several walls, a move of the building’s staircase and changes to the roof structure — allowing for the continuation of a seismically safe structure, despite a removal of the diaphragm ceiling that had previously hidden the trusses that are now visible. “We had to add a lot of support,” Ball said. “Lots of things had to be done, engineering-wise, to keep the building substantial.” Now, in place of what had been three small rooms on the upper level, a full-sized studio exists, where something such as a ballet class could be held. “And by moving the staircase, we were able to make one of the studios upstairs larger,” Ball said. An old kitchen that had never been used by the YMCA, Ball added, was completely demolished to allow for a third studio. While La Jolla YMCA has held a lease on the historic building for more than three decades, the facility had previously only been used as a program center, and wasn’t always in use or open. The decision was made just over a year ago to completely renovate the property so it could become a true “family fitness center,” Ball said. Offering strength and cardio equipment, the facility’s “family fitness” atmosphere is highlighted by its child watch area. Children over the age of 7 are allowed to work out with their parents. But parents of younger children are assured of a place to keep their children nearby, with staff present to supervise them, while they exercise. Still taking shape with the additions of new equipment and fitness aids, the new facility’s studios are expected to be in full use come early 2016, said Sarah Iantosca, YMCA regional marketing and communications director. That’s when the facility plans to begin offering its full slate of fitness and youth classes, which could include disciplines such as dance, gymnastics and Taekwondo. “We’ll also specialize in what we call ‘premium classes,’ which are small,” Ball said. Those might include small-group personal training classes for TRX, boot camp or yoga. Member benefit classes, such as Zumba dance, yoga and various aerobic dance classes, are planned to be held in one of the facility’s larger studios.

virtually every minute of every game throughout what at that point had been a 12-game season. Neither the team’s 8-0 regular season record, nor its run through three local opponents en route to its San Diego County championship — earned with a win over Otay Ranch Blue at Balboa Stadium — was enough to inflate the team’s collective ego, Faulk said. “Their emotions never get too high or too low,” Faulk said. “When we won the game to go to the (local) championship, I had to beg them to celebrate. They just started taking their pads off,” he added with a hint of a laugh. Although humbled at his team’s mere presence in Florida for the championship tournament, Stratton said the Bulls’ first-round 34-0 win over North Texas United gave it the confidence it needed to know it belonged right where it was. Stratton didn’t know it at the time, but the Bulls would go on to defeat the Harlem Jets in another shutout before squaring off against Virginia’s champions. “It gave us confidence heading into the next round that we can hang with these teams and that we have a very good chance of winning,” Stratton said. That, they apparently did. ♦

La JoLLa — In loving memory of Madelon Menehan ainsworth. This last october we lost a most beautiful, wonderful woman. She played a starring role in all of our lives: always a strong, kind and caring mother; our anchor while we were growing up; our lighthouse once we’d grown taking off on our own separate journeys and always welcome to come back home; a housewife at first, then back to college; a career woman next, tending to medical records just like she did with her dear old dad the doctor. When she was young, going along with him on house calls seeing a whole family for only five dollars, now that was personalized medicine! Despite the decline in her later years, our memories of her will always be cherished. Her work experience would read something like this: Chief Cook Bottle Washer Top Dog

“The thought is to have results we could include in a proposal … where we can say to a company ‘this is the customer base you’re not tapping into’ and tell them ‘this is business you could be getting, come get it here,’ ” Murphy said. “Once we gather that data, we want to develop the best proposal possible to make this a no-brainer for these desired businesses.” The committee’s other short-term goals include establishing an identity for La Jolla, and branding through social media. “This is important for La Jolla,” Fazzio said. “A lot of San Diego neighborhoods have their own identity: Little Italy is a food culture, the Gaslamp District is a club culture, Coronado has family beaches ... La Jolla lacks a little bit of an identity.” Arredondo added, “We also want to launch a social media campaign to really promote La Jolla, via Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. A tentative goal is to post six days a week. We’d like to share what’s going on with local businesses and the Village as a whole.” She is working on criteria for what the board would post, and said the idea will be for businesses to come to the committee and ask it to post their events or promotions on social media.

In other LJVMA news ■ Committee on Village valet: Michael Dorvillier, who sits on the committee formed to examine valet parking in the Village, reported that the group has had productive discussions, but is yet to take any actions. “We discussed combining existing valet areas — the public valet zone at Eddie V’s and George’s at the Cove are

“Those are classes that would be pretty traditional at other Ys,” Ball said. “The small group classes are a little bit different in this facility. From our market research, we’ve learned that people want a smaller, more personalized attention.” Ball said La Jolla YMCA hopes to see at least 100 new YMCA members registered at the facility by the beginning of the new year. So far, she said, the facility has already signed up about 75. Iantosca said existing La Jolla YMCA members are welcomed at the facility, as their memberships are valid at both La Jolla locations. Come January 2016, she added, the network of locations open to YMCA members will expand, as locations across San Diego County will recognize each other’s memberships. But that’s not all YMCA members can expect at the new facility come January, Ball said, noting the kickoff of what she thinks will set the Shepherd YMCA Firehouse location apart from other local Ys, including the Cliffridge Avenue location. Beginning with two Saturdays in January, and continuing on every Saturday starting in February, the facility will host on Saturday evenings a “Parents’ Night Out” after the 4 p.m. close of the facility’s fitness areas. The plan is to allow parents to bring their children in from 6-10 p.m., while they enjoy an evening to themselves, perhaps going out to see a movie or to sit down somewhere for dinner. “The children will have dinner with us, and we’ll have a different theme (each time),” Ball said. “We do that at Cliffridge, but we just do it once a month. And we think there’s more nightlife down in the Village, and that adults might want that more often in the Village.” Open to children as young as toddlers and as old as teenagers, the “Parents’ Night Out” is but another way Ball sees the new Y becoming as much a community asset as it is one supporting individual fitness. “We envision it as a meeting place for people,” Ball said. “We don’t serve food there, but we have tables and chairs that people can sit at and have a cup of coffee, or just rest after a class or visit with their friends after a class.” ■ Shepherd YMCA Firehouse, 7877 Herschel Ave., La Jolla.

only separated by three or four (two-hour) spaces — so those two are virtually side-by-side as it is,” he said, adding they looked at approved valet parking spaces that are no longer in use, such as those fronting Roppongi Sushi, which closed in October. “We also discussed a free option limited to 30 or 45 minutes, so someone could run into a local merchant, conduct their business and run out, but anything over 30-45 minutes and they would have to pay,” he said. Further, the board wants to ensure signage is clear to indicate when a valet service is open to the public, and will investigate dividing valet zones so there is one on each side of Prospect Street.

Cook-off proceeds, totaling $800, went to LJVMA and were earmarked for the annual Fourth of July Fireworks at the Cove. Souza said there were 11 entrants in the cook-off with Jose’s Mexican Restaurant winning first place. “For a first year, I thought that was pretty good,” she said, adding she will return to the board next month for an approval for the 2016 event. — La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association next meets 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2016 at Cuvier Club, 7776 Eads Ave. lajollabythesea.com ♦

Reminders of Love ■ Family therapist creates

book and plush toy with heart BY LINDA HUTCHISON n uncertain times, we turn to family more than ever for support and to reassure our most vulnerable members — our children — that they are safe.

For former marriage and family therapist and divorce mediator Nancy Fagan, the answer is a passionate “Yes!” In the past year, she has written “Fables of Fairy Good Heart: Divorce - A Parent’s Love Lasts Forever,” and created its companion — a plush, comforting toy called Fairy Good Heart.

La Jolla native writes book about bone broth

Quinn Farrar Wilson’s book will be available on amazon.com in January 2016.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Long before the bone broth craze took hold, La Jolla native Quinn Farrar Wilson was drinking the nutritious elixir. Now the North Park resident and founder of Balanced and Bright has written a book to chronicle her experiences, provide insight into what bone broth is, and offer recipes so readers can make it at home. Drinking bone broth — a simmered broth made from animal bones, vegetables and herbs — is a longstanding practice that has picked up steam in recent years. Those who swear by it, including Wilson, say the bone broth helps everything from stomach sensitivity to calcium deficiency. By simmering the broth, typically for a few days, “all the

vitamins, minerals, collagen and calcium in the bones breaks down and goes into the broth,” she said (not to mention the comforting, filling feeling that comes from drinking it). For Wilson, a La Jolla High School graduate, after she started drinking the broth, she noticed several changes in her body. “The first thing I noticed was that the skin on my hands changed,” she said. Further, the damage to her teeth caused by a skiing accident when she was 10 started to repair. “After the accident, I was losing my teeth and I had a bone grafting surgery and I was in pain for months after that. It was dental hell,” she said. “Once I started drinking bone broth, the SEE BONE BROTH, B8

Be grateful, or else

La Jolla Cultural Partners

s much as I have always loved the holiday season, it was a little trying during my single mom years when the kids were in elementary school. They were off for two full weeks for winter break but if I took that much vacation time, I’d only have a week left for the rest of the year. Those day camps that entertained them during the summer months were few and far between at Christmas. My limited financial resources had already been wiped out by Christmas anyway. So the kids did what any two thoroughly-bored hyper-excited-about-Christmas, minimally-supervised-by-ennuied-sitter pre-teen boys would do: they fought. Endlessly. They called my office up to 30 times a day ratting each other out. It really broke my heart that I couldn’t be home during the week before Christmas, which should have been such a fun family time, so I tried to take off as much time as possible in the week after. But then there’d be all the post-holiday letdown complaints. “We have nothing to play with.” (Seriously???) Or: “We have no one to play with. All our friends are in Aspen or Hawaii” (an actual legitimate beef). Worst of all from

their perspective, the deadline for the dreaded thank you notes was Dec. 30, after which all privileges evaporated and they were under room arrest. My older son Rory always pushed that deadline to the absolute 11th-hour limit. It was a contest of wills, but fortunately I was bigger. One winter break, I instituted a system of making the kids pay each other for name calling which was initially so successful that I expanded the fine system to a list of other family rules. Money talks. The one downside is that it turned my younger son Henry into a full-scale narc. I’d come home from work and Henry would have a complete tabulated list of Rory’s transgressions including the number of times each had been committed and a tally of remittance due. (I should have known then that Henry would end up in business school.) Actually, the whole time Henry would be reading his list, I kept having a déjà vu to the recitations of Catholic confessionals of my youth, which in my case went something like: “Bless me Father, I have sinned. It has been three weeks since my last confession. I have lied once [a lie in itself], had bad thoughts three times [dream on], and been mean to my sister twice [a total whopper].”

Now it was: “Guess what, Mother, Rory has sinned. It has been three minutes since his last transgression. He has called me ‘fart face’ twice, hidden Tecmo Bowl once, and sat on my head three times.” I recently came across a contract that, totally fed up, I required them to sign during winter break in 1989: We, the undersigned, do hereby agree to the following: 1) We will not call mom’s office more than twice a day and then only if someone has lost more than a quart of blood (think milk carton) or is not breathing (take pulse before dialing). 2) We will not express boredom, ennui, or disappointment at any time until 7 a.m. Jan. 2, 1990. 3) By Dec. 30, we will send polite, enthusiastic and grateful thank you notes to all persons who have sent us gifts. Said thank you notes will contain a minimum of three complete sentences, will specifically mention the gift, and will state at least two things the giftee liked about the gift regardless of whether the giftee liked anything about the gift. 4) Violations of this contract will result in the violator’s Christmas 1990 gift allocation being donated to a needy, and presumably more grateful, child or children. Signed, this 20th day of December, 1989 (signature not optional) In the same file as the contract were some photocopies of some of the thank you notes they wrote. Rory’s were always illustrated. • Dear Uncl Peter and ant lucy — thank you for the telescope. I will use it to hit henry with. love, rory. (Draws picture of himself hitting Henry with telescope and adds: ha ha Not really! I think that was supposed to qualify as the required third sentence.)

Dear aunt elizbeth, thank you for the chemistry set. • Dear aunt elizbeth, thank you for the chemistry set. I like it. I am trying to make a pocion to turn henry into a frog. Love rory • Dear grandpa henry, thank you for the dire straits tape. And the pencil sharpener and the jeepers creepers thing. I like the pencil sharpener so I can sharpen henry’s head. (Draws picture of Henry’s head labeled “before” and a pointy head labeled “after.”) But… to this day, they both write thank you notes. In a timely fashion! Without being locked in their rooms! It’s good to know I wasn’t a total failure. ♦ — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in the La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

Tom Stephenson (Ebenezer Scrooge) and David McBean (Marley) provide hilarious entertainment in Cygnet Theatre’s ‘A Christmas Carol,’ directed by Sean Murray.

Cygnet’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ will delight all ages

ince 1843 when Charles Dickens wrote “A Christmas Carol,” the story has brought both tears and smiles to millions worldwide. The Cygnet Theatre’s rendition is yet another discovery of humor, compassion and joy. Cygnet artistic director Sean Murray notes in the program, “ ‘A Christmas Carol’ is a passionate plea for us to take care of each other, to rediscover that giving creates joy

and the giver receives greater joy from the act; that the smallest, humblest gesture has repercussions beyond our imagination.” These sentiments definitely show up in this joyful production. Actors Maggie Carney (Mrs. Cratchit and others); Charles Evans, Jr. (Young Scrooge and others); Melissa Fernanades (Boy Scrooge and others); Melinda Gilb (Belinda Cratchit and others); David McBean (Marley and others); Patrick

Melinda Gilb, Tom Stephenson and Maggie Carney sing carols and tell jokes. McBride (Bob Cratchit and others) and Tom Stephenson (Ebenezer Scrooge), pour their hearts out to create a charming story. As carolers, the actors entertain on stage before the show starts with traditional holiday songs and jokes. Some are funny, some not, but still bring laughs — especially from Carney, a born comic that the audience loves. Scrooge and all his nasty behaviors are vividly portrayed by Stephenson, who’s played this character before, but always makes him seem quite real. McBean must do Marley in his sleep, as he, too, has traveled in Marley’s shoes several times. Still, each time he’s on stage, it’s even more entertaining than the last time. In his long fur coat, long hair with arms wide open, his billboard-wide smile can’t help but

make the audience laugh. Of course, it’s also heartwarming to see Scrooge’s heart transition from cold-as-ice to warm with love and recognition. The music composed by Billy Thompson (with music director Patrick Marion as accompanist), keep the glee raining through the entire production. And then, there’s Tiny Tim, which this show could not be without. He, too, is present, is tiny, and does his role well. Embracing, dreams, joy, fun, celebration and togetherness, “A Christmas Carol,” is a great show for all ages. ■ IF YOU GO: “A Christmas Carol” runs through Dec. 27 at Cygnet Theatre Company, Old Town Stage, 4040 Twiggs St., San Diego.

This year’s El Niño, which is forecast to become one of the strongest on record, is expected to influence weather and climate patterns by impacting the position of the Pacific jet stream, NOAA forecasters say.

FROM BONE BROTH, B1 pain went away and soon after all my X-rays showed the bone tissue in my jaw and teeth was super strong and super healthy.” She added that she “always had a sensitive stomach,” but after six months of drinking bone broth, “I noticed some stomach problems lessened, after eight months they were gone.” Although it worked for Wilson, nutrition professionals are not certain whether bone broth is a “superfood” or a “cure-all.” Christine Zoumas, director of the Healthy Eating Program at Moores Cancer Center out of UC San Diego, said there are nutritional benefits, but not necessarily to the extent people think. “Bone broth is not too different from a soup stock, it can be healthy because its low in sodium because you’re making it yourself (so you can control the salt levels) and if it has vegetables, the nutritional content of those vegetables gets into that broth. It can be a really good meal,” she said. “Plus, it has lot of volume with little calories.” Zoumas also said any time people make their own food, it makes them more aware of their produce choices. But she added that one of the broth’s “selling points” is that by drinking something collagen rich, it goes directly into the body as collagen, but this claim is not supported by science. “When you consume something with collagen, it is digested into amino acids and then your body gets to choose how to use those amino acids. It could become something else your body needs because amino acids are the building blocks for protein, which can be turned into enzymes, body tissue, something for your immune system, whatever your body needs,” she said. “But so can many other foods.” For those who want to try it for themselves, Wilson founded Balanced and Bright to produce and sell bone broth. However, to expand facilities, she has postponed distribution until January. In the meantime, her website — balancedandbright.com — provides tips for making bone broth at home. In addition to making bone broth, her company also makes a bone broth tea that can be served at breakfast. “Depending on how you make it, you can flavor it however you want. It can taste like ginger (how I like it) or like a chicken soup broth,” she said. Bone broth can be consumed hot or cold, or as a substitute in a recipe that calls for stock or broth. “It’s an arduous task to make,” she said, pointing out that

it takes about three days to simmer, strain, cool, simmer, strain and cool again — all the while separating any fat that might rise to the surface. “But it makes your whole house smell like broth!” she said. While the bones can come from any animal, Wilson said the most important thing is to use organic and pastured animal bones, and recommends Homegrown Meats in La Jolla as a supplier. Wilson is self-taught in the realm of “food as medicine,” she said, and she embarked on this new path in 2008. She founded Quintessential Cooking to teach others how to use locally sourced ingredients, and worked for Urban Core to teach children about nutritious food. Now she can add author toher list of accomplishments. Wilson’s book, “Bone Broth: Essential recipes and age-old remedies to heal your body,” will be available in January 2016 at balancedandbright.com and amazon.com ♦

■ If the label doesn’t say “pastured” or “organic,” then it’s not. ■ Beware of people advertising inexpensive broths using trendy catch phrases. Consuming broth from cheap inhumanely raised animals defeats the purpose of consuming broth at all. ■ Pastured and organic animals have more nutrients and more health benefits than poorly raised animals … (which) were raised in stressful, crowded, dirty environments and are usually given heavy antibiotics to stay “healthy.” You can read more about the overall health differences between commodity animals and pastured. ■ Real bone broth will never be found on a shelf. ■ Real bone broth should contain anywhere from 25-40 percent actual broth and could never safely be sold “shelf stable.” If you find “bone broth” on the shelf in your local store – it actually contains less than 5 percent actual meat product. There is already a large company capitalizing on this trend and their “bone broth” can be found on the shelf in stores. ■ Real Bone Broth will always be found in your grocer’s freezer section. ■ Medical disclaimer: The information about bone broth contained on balancedandbright.com is general in nature.

■ Duck tips

Get all your ducks in a row

oasted duck has been a treasured family dish I’ve enjoyed since childhood. My grandma prepared it for special holidays, and as gifts of gratitude for loved ones. One summer, the family took a road trip to Ottawa delivering a birthday present to my uncle — his favorite whole-roasted duck. This bird was pampered, massaged and marinated in a concoction of fresh garlic and citrus juices for three days in the refrigerator, then roasted in a slow oven for hours. The tender flesh and crisp skin was truly a poem in your mouth. We stopped midway for a lunch break, and when we returned, someone had broken into the trunk. Nothing seemed to be missing, but on further inspection the beautifully gold-foil wrapped roast duck was gone — some fowl play! Here’s a primer and some tips on how to get the best out of this succulent bird for the holidays and beyond.

■ Get a leg up

Duck, which is a completely dark meat fowl, even the breast is a rich source of protein, but also contains a high amount of fat. About half the fat in duck is saturated, the other half a blend of mono and polyunsaturated fat, the latter having

comparable health attributes to olive oil. For the cholesterol-conscious, eat moderately. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals, including stress-relieving and energy producing Bs, fluid-balancing potassium, immune-boosting zinc, and heme iron, for red blood cell production to ward off anemia and fatigue.

■ Not all ducks created equal

• The Mallard is a medium-sized, wild duck. Its flesh is lean yet greasy tasting, and tends to be tough. • The Muscovy is a breed with males (drakes) being large and meaty, and females (hens), smaller and leaner. With its strong, overpowering taste, it is mostly used for its liver to make foie gras (that is once again legal in California after a Los Angeles judge recently reversed the statewide ban). • White Pekin, the most popular duck in the U.S., has a rich flavor without the overpowering gaminess, along with lower fat content and leaner, more tender meat. This breed, imported from China to Long Island, the hub of the American duck industry, is where “Long Island style” duck originated. • The Moulard, a cross between a Muscovy and a White Pekin is gamier than the latter, and has a tendency to be tough and chewy.

Do not overcook duck breasts. Roast or braise to medium to prevent the meat from becoming chewy and stringy. To substantially reduce the fat content and create a crispy, flavorful skin score the breast with a sharp knife, then sear on scored side. For the legs, cure overnight and cook for several hours in a cast iron pan in the oven. For the whole bird, trim excess fat, score and poke several holes before roasting. When the temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit at the thickest part, it’s done.

■ Just wing it

A whole roasted duck with a citrus glaze and rice pilaf is a festive way to celebrate the holidays. If a whole bird is too much to handle, roast just the breast or legs (confit), and whip up a variety of dishes, such as duck breast with a soba noodle ginger broth, wild mushroom and duck risotto, duck curry, warm duck salad with roasted beets, a hearty ragu or this crispy skin duck breast with port glaze. Quack, quack!

Aylesbury Crispy Skin Duck Breast with Tawny Port Glaze Ingredients (Serves 4):

• 4 6-ounce Long Island duck breasts • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil • 1/4 cup minced shallots • 2 sprigs thyme • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Preparing duck

• 1 cup tawny port • 1 cup chicken stock • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter

Method:

Score fat of duck breast in criss-cross pattern at 1/4-inch intervals without cutting into breast meat. Season with salt and pepper. Add oil to large skillet over medium high heat. Cook breasts, skin side down, 3 minutes or until golden and crisp. Turn over. Cook 3 minutes for medium rare, or until desired doneness. Transfer duck to cutting board. Slice and arrange on a large platter. Set aside. Discard excess fat from skillet. Return skillet to stovetop. Add shallots, thyme, cumin and nutmeg. Cook 1 minute, stirring often. Add port and chicken stock. Reduce to sauce consistency. Strain through fine sieve into saucepan. Swirl in butter. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over duck slices and serve with fig chutney and wilted greens.

The charm of this home in La Jolla was captured by artist Leisa Collins.

Artist completes La Jolla house portrait series

rchitectural artist Leisa Collins finished the first phase of a series of original pen-and-watercolor architectural portraits featuring houses she loves in La Jolla. Collins is working to publish a coffeetable book that will include her favorite La Jolla homes along with an array of paintings depicting homes and diverse architectural styles across all 50 states. “The contemporary coastal community and artistic personality of La Jolla is so inviting,” Collins said. “I’ve created paintings of homes covering more than 12 different architectural styles so far, and that’s what I find so fascinating about this area.” A native of New Zealand, Collins first

began drawing and painting historic houses in her hometown of Auckland. Since that time she has traveled across the globe and art, architectural beauty and diversity have always been her inspiration. She has accumulated a portfolio of 1,500 portraits of homes and historic buildings in 43 states. In 2013, she launched her Leisa Collins Historic Preservation Award as a way to recognize outstanding individuals who have been instrumental in preserving the historic buildings of their area. Teaming up with local historic societies and city officials, she has presented her award — an original framed painting of the awardee’s restoration project — to individuals across the country. leisa@leisacollins.com ♦

USDA issues food safety tips for holiday cooks FROM USDA REPORTS o help keep your holiday season healthy, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety & Inspection Service (FSIS) has released food safety recommendations for festive gatherings. These tips come from years of experience working to make sure that meat, poultry and egg products are safe, wholesome and properly labeled. To start, download the FoodKeeper application. This smartphone and tablet app created by FSIS will help you evaluate what items in your refrigerator and pantry are still good and what may be past its prime. The FoodKeeper offers storage advice on more than 400 different food and beverage items and can help you decide what to keep and what to throw out. It also offers handy guidance on leftovers, which you’ll probably have a lot of after the big meal.

temperature above 140 degrees F.

■ Cooking a Holiday Roast

• Use separate cutting boards, plates and utensils for raw roasts and cooked roasts to avoid cross-contamination. • Wash items such as cutting boards that have touched raw meat with warm water and soap, or place them in a dishwasher. • To avoid overcooking beef, veal, pork and lamb roasts, use a meat thermometer. These roasts should be removed from the oven when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F and allowed to rest for three minutes before serving. • Turkey, duck, and goose should be

■ Food Safety Holiday Gifts

• Food Thermometer: a useful tool for even the most experienced cook as it is the only way to ensure that meat is fully cooked. • Cutting Board: using separate cutting boards for raw meat and ready-to-eat food is a great way to prevent cross-contamination. • Kitchen Towel: these towels should be washed frequently to avoid cross-contamination, so a home cook can never have enough kitchen towels.

■ Mail Delivered Holiday Food

Clean surfaces and thoroughly cooked meats are basic to serving food that is safe for consumption. cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F as measured by a food thermometer. Temperatures should be taken in three areas of the bird: the thickest part of the breast, the innermost part of the wing, and the innermost part of the thigh.

■ Food Safety for Party Buffets • Keep hot food hot and keep cold food cold by using chafing dishes or crock pots and ice trays. Hot items should remain above 140 degrees F and cold items should remain below 40 degrees F.

• Use several plates when serving food. • Discard perishable foods left out for two hours or more. • Leftovers should be refrigerated or frozen immediately in shallow containers. Reheat leftovers to 165 degrees F. • If you’re transporting pre-cooked food to a holiday get together, keep cold foods safe on the way there by placing items in a cooler with ice or gel packs to keep them at or below 40 degrees F. If you’re transporting hot foods, wrap dishes in insulated bags or towels and newspaper to keep their

• Check with the mail delivery company to ensure they send perishable items, like meat and poultry, cold or frozen and pack it with a cold source. • Foods should be packaged in a foam or heavy corrugated cardboard container. • Delivery should occur as quickly as possible — ideally, overnight. • Foods should arrive frozen or partially frozen with ice crystals still visible or at least refrigerator cold — below 40-degrees F as measured by a food thermometer. ■ For questions about food safety, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1 (888) MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) or chat live with a food safety specialist at askkaren.gov, available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST, Monday-Friday.

Scripps Health opens clinic in UTC office building SPECIAL TO LA JOLLA LIGHT Banking on its reputation in the community, the Scripps Health network is expanding its range of services in San Diego County by opening clinics in office buildings and introducing its own line of managed-care insurance plans. Scripps has opened a clinic called Scripps Health Express inside a high-rise across the street from the Westfield UTC shopping center. It also has obtained a full license from the state Department of Managed Health Care, allowing it to offer insurance plans to the public under its own name. Chris Van Gorder, Scripps CEO, said the moves are intended to broaden the nonprofit company’s reach beyond hospitals and physician groups. “Over time, you're going to see the name Scripps Health Express in a number of different settings across our community,” Van Gorder said. Scripps’ growth strategy is part of a nationwide trend that has large health systems reacting to shifts in reimbursement and government regulation by widening the range of services they offer. In the San Diego region, Sharp HealthCare and Kaiser Permanente already offer their own managed-care plans that largely rely on their own in-house networks of doctors, hospitals and ancillary services. Meanwhile, retail chains traditionally operating outside the health care-delivery sphere have made their own inroads into the market. During the past decade, retail clinics have sprung up inside places such as CVS, Rite Aid and Target, treating sore throats,

Scripps’ new clinic in University City takes a different approach. It fills a 1,700-square-foot suite on the ground floor of an office tower at the center of The Plaza, a business center that is home to 100 companies that together employ about 2,500 people, according to the property's owner, the Irvine Co. In addition to the typical services offered by most retail clinics, this Scripps location provides wellness and nutrition consultations. It has teamed up with a high-end gym that the Irvine Co. brought in just across the lobby.

Mike Bennett, senior vice president of operations for the real estate development and management firm, said tenants, especially those in the Class A office buildings it leases, have been seeking amenities that can help their workers lead healthier lifestyles without having to drive somewhere for that support. “What we've heard from our customers is that ... having close access to amenities like these just increases their overall productivity,” Bennett said. Van Gorder said the opportunity to provide services closer to where its patients work was too important to pass up. “Historically, we’ve expected people to come

to us rather than us coming to them. What we’re starting to do now is ... be where the patients want us to be,” he said. Embedding health services in the workplace is not necessarily a novel idea in some regards, said Dr. Ateev Mehrotra, an associate professor of health care policy and medicine at Harvard Medical School who has studied medical retail trends for the RAND Corp. He noted that companies, especially large manufacturing enterprises, have sometimes included on-site clinics to handle injuries that arise in the course of blue-collar work. More recently, some large technology companies, often known for their lavish amenities granted in the name of productivity, have added clinic services for their staffs. At the same time, big health systems must adapt to changing reimbursement policies. In the past, fee-for-service arrangements, which pay a doctor or hospital a fixed fee for each service provided, were much more common. Today, insurance carriers more often want groups of doctors and hospitals working together to accept financial responsibility for large groups of patients. If those partners manage to meet quality standards and spend less than the expected amount in caring for their assigned patients, they get to split the savings with the insurance company. These arrangements put health providers at risk of having to pay out of their own pockets if expenses exceed the expected range. ♦ — The San Diego Union-Tribune

The Fairy Good Heart toy offers an additional layer of comfort. It includes a “Parent Pocket” for notes and photos. Fagan plans future books to cover other ways in which parents might not be available to their children, such as business trips and mental or physical illness, including addiction. “Some parents are physically available, but not emotionally,” Fagan said, adding that she’s writing the next storybook for children whose parents are in the military and deployed. For Fagan, the books and toys are just the tip of her “cause to help,” as she describes it. Her website (fairygoodheart.com) is rich with resources for children, parents and

The fables and Fairy Good Heart are tools for opening up communication, Fagan said. “Fables offer lessons to be learned and communicated to a lot of people,” she explained. In her book, the first in a series, Fagan tells the story of a young girl whose parents are divorcing. The story offers reassurances that even though her mother and father have stopped loving each other, they will not stop loving her. “It’s a way to talk to children,” she said. “The character in the book is typical and so it’s easy to talk about such characters and thus feelings.”

therapists. Drawing on her experience as a therapist, mediator, author and commentator (she writes frequently for The Huffington Post), she incorporates her knowledge of communication techniques, family dynamics and conflict resolution into her essays. Her website also includes links to many other helpful websites, articles, apps, games and videos — all geared to supporting parents and children and fostering communication. The idea for Fairy Good Heart emerged from both Fagan's personal and professional experience. Divorced when her son was 5, she encouraged him to share his feelings,

especially when he told her he felt like he had a line down his middle — one half angry and one half sad. Both parts needed to be acknowledged and talked about. As a successful divorce mediator, she also saw the need for guidelines. “People asked me what they should say, to give them words, so I began to hand out written guidelines.” Remarried and living in La Jolla (her son is now 26 and recently married), Fagan adds that some adults are also being comforted by Fairy Good Heart. One therapist gave it to a lonely 91-year-old woman to help her feel cared about and others are giving it to friends who are going away. ♦

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1

fixing things.

bluffs (at La Jolla Cove) to public access again so the sea lions and their smell would find a new home! I would also magically solve the homeless problem in the Village, and open a Dr. Seuss Museum and Learning Center.

What do you do for fun? Almost anything outdoors — hiking, camping, running, gardening. I have to be busy — put me on a lounge chair at the beach and I am bored in 15 minutes. I spend a lot of time on my days off doing “honey do’s.” I enjoy working on my home and yard.

Who or what inspires you? What inspires me is seeing individual growth and development in members of my staff. Perhaps it’s my paternal instincts, but I get great inspiration and satisfaction from seeing someone with solid raw talent join our family, learn and develop their skills, and advance within or at times outside, our organization. It is the same kind of inspiration I feel in seeing my three sons grow and succeed in their lives.

What clothing item in your closet will you never part with? Really — nothing. Clothes are not that important to me.

COURTESY

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? • Alexander Hamilton — reading his biography right now; • Louis Zamperini — representative of the greatest generation; • Ronald Reagan — unyielding positive message of America; • Steve Jobs — revolutionary creative genius; • Angelina Jolie — not for her acting, but to learn about her humanitarian efforts; • Irwin and Joan Jacobs — to thank them for their support of arts and culture; and

NOW AND THEN: Terry Underwood is the general manager of La Jolla’s historic Grande Colonial hotel, which opened Feb. 1, 1913 and celebrated its centennial in 2013. • Mike Slater — from KFMB radio, who always asks the right questions. What is your most-prized possession? My garage of tools. Much as I love the posh and circumstance of running a great hotel, while not at work, I love to work on my home, car, whatever. I enjoy making and

What are your favorite comfort foods? Tuna noodle casserole, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, Irish whiskey, a good bottle of Syrah. What would be your dream vacation? I love to see other cultures, and not through the typical tourist eyes. I was able to check one of those boxes two years ago, spending three weeks in Ireland. My next wish is to spend several weeks exploring Japan with my wife, Jill. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Be kind to others, nurture and mentor others to succeed, enjoy every sunrise and every sunset. “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” — Zig Ziglar ♦

Prepping Your Home for Sale Your home is your castle—until it feels like your dungeon and you need to get the heck out of there and fast. Here’s what you need to get out and move on. Decide what type of repairs you need. Have you lived in your house for so long that you have no mortgage—but also no modern amenities? Did you originally pay $80,000 for your ranch-style house back in 1987? You may want to make some upgrades to improve your home’s resale value. The good news? You likely have the budget for greater improvements and will make that money back when your house sells for a 21st century price.

For any big project, consult with a contractor and a realtor to see what buyers are looking for. Determine what you want to invest and how best to showcase your home to its future owners and not to your own tastes (unless, of course, you make such great improvements that you fall back in love with your house and never want to leave). If large-scale improvements are not for you, there are still some cosmetic touchups you’ll want to cover before you list. Deferred maintenance? Deferral time is over. The wobbling window that won’t open? The linoleum that’s bubbling up in the corner? The door that’s off the hinges and leaning against the wall because it swelled? These are things that will turn potential buyers away, ﬂeeing in terror, the way that you’re attempting to ﬂee now. If the issue is big, or if there is damage, then you will want to repair it or sell as-is for a lower asking price. These are projects you can do within a month:

• Minor Repairs, such as replacing broken screens, tiles, gutters. • If you have bubbling or peeling linoleum, rip it out in a day and install peel-and-stick flooring from a local home improvement store. The whole project can be done in under a week (three days with help and fortitude and peppy relatives who may want to work off the money you loaned them six months ago), or you can hire a company to be in and out in a couple of days. • Was your kitchen modeled after an episode of The Golden Girls? Consider a quick refacing project, including cabinets, counters and hardware. • Fix any plumbing issues. • Consider updating plumbing and light fixtures. • If your built-in microwave hasn’t worked since the Sopranos finale, replace it. •Do you have an avocado refrigerator, a goldenrod dishwasher, a black oven, and a stainless steel wine fridge? Replace them with appliances that have similar facing. For the minor repairs, investing in a good

handyman for all the touch-ups and small ﬁxes makes a world of difference. Don’t ignore your curb appeal. • Paint trim and railings. • Clean up the yard. • Buy a neutral entry mat. • Clean! No, really. The obvious shortcuts are to vacuum and clean windows, making even smaller spaces seem fresh and airy (if you have carpet, invest in a shampoo treatment). Clean water stains around the outside of your home, maybe from mud, or from roof run-off. Clean or paint over water stains on your ceiling (make sure these are not symptoms of a leak that will need to be repaired). Remove water, calcium, and rust stains in your sinks, showers, and bathtubs (notice a pattern here?). Column continued at www.lajollalight.com/news/2015/ nov/12/Prepping-Your-Home-forSale/

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are, or may be, responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy, to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, call (619) 466-6530 or fax 619-698-4912 or visit the internet website at www. statewiderecon.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case. 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 determine sale results and/or postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. IFS #1325. (La Jolla Light 12/17/15, 12/24/15, 12/31/15). LJ2084.
