Nina Katchadourian’s curiously captivating ‘Whale’ is latest mural By Pat Sherman he newest addition to the La Jolla Community Foundation’s “Murals of La Jolla” public art series, Nina Katchadourian’s “Whale,” was installed last week at 1250 Prospect St. (just south of Eddie V’s restaurant). The work joins the foundation’s 12 other murals currently displayed on buildings throughout La Jolla.
T
“We are proud to be working with artists of national and international stature,” said Matthew Browar, chair of the Murals of La Jolla Art Advisory Committee and a member of the foundation’s board of directors. “Murals of La Jolla has been embraced by the community and has attracted an audience from beyond.”

By Pat Sherman Despite an extreme paucity of funding for infrastructure improvements citywide, community members in pockets of San Diego have nevertheless been meeting to craft priority lists for infrastructure items they would like to see completed in their communities. Perhaps nowhere in the city is a community’s wish list as long as in La Jolla, where the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) spent more than a year crafting its list, with input from its La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. subcommittee (See sidebar, A15). The list includes some big-ticket items, such as funding the long-stalled Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project (see sidebar A14) and the business-boosting See infrastructure, A14
Community planners reject Hillel Center project once more By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) again voiced opposition to the proposed Hillel Center for Jewish Life, which would serve Jewish students at UC San Diego at a new center off La Jolla Village Drive and Torrey Pines Road. Hillel, which has similar centers near other campuses (including San La Jolla Diego State University), is Community seeking community Planning approval for a site Association development permit and right-of-way vacation at the .76-acre site. A residence at 8976 Cliffridge Ave. is currently used as Hillel’s office. Though Hillel has made resident-suggested concessions to its proposal in recent years, which include reducing the project’s size from 13,000 to 6,600 square feet and moving its entrance from busy La Jolla Scenic Drive North to La Jolla Scenic Way, several people attending the LJCPA’s Feb. 6 meeting cited problems with a re-circulated draft environmental impact report (EIR) See Hillel Center, A11

Pretty Penny
Coin Shop discovers high value of client’s rare currency By Pat Sherman ith help from experts at the Coin Shop on Girard Avenue, Randy Lawrence discovered that a bag of coins left to him by his father — once deputy superintendent of the Denver Mint — was indeed no chump change. Lawrence, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices in San Diego, moved to La Jolla with his family last summer. His father’s bag of coins remained in the trunk of his car during several exploratory trips to the area. Lawrence finally decided to have the coins appraised at the Coin Shop, where owner Michael McConnell told him an aluminum penny in the batch, minted in 1974, was worth about $300 — an offer Lawrence happily accepted. However, after further consultation with a rare coin

His father, who worked at the U.S. mint there, left it for his son. It is estimated to be worth well over $250,000. Photos by Kristoffer Newsom
grading and authentication service, McConnell phoned Lawrence back to tell him that his coin was worth far more — with some estimates placing its value at as much as $2 million. Due to the increasing cost of copper used in pennies
during the early 1970s, the U.S. mint began testing alternative metals such as aluminum. More than $1.5 million aluminum pennies were produced and ready for release before being rejected and melted down (it was believed aluminum pennies
would cause problems in vending machines and be difficult to detect by X-ray imaging). Only10 aluminum pennies were produced at the mint in Denver, and the rest stamped in Philadelphia. Of the Philadelphia batch,
one is on display at the Smithsonian and another is in a private collection. Until Lawrence visited the Coin Shop, it was believed that the Denver pennies had all been destroyed. “His is the very first to come into the marketplace,”
Coin Shop manager Jeff Martin said. “It was a pretty substantial find, obviously.” The coin is currently being shown around the country by Heritage Auctions. It will go up for bid on April 23 at the Central States Numismatic Society convention in Schaumburg, Illinois. Though Lawrence’s father amassed coins from his travels around the world, Lawrence himself never took an interest in coin collecting. When asked what his father did for a living, he said he would merely tell other children, “My dad makes money.” McConnell and Lawrence will split proceeds from the coin with at least $100,000 being donated toward finding solutions for homelessness — an issue McConnell has been involved in for years at the local, state and federal level, Martin said. u

CARTA to host ‘Childrearing in Human Evolution’ symposium “From Birth to Grandmotherhood: Childrearing in Human Evolution,” is the title of the next UC San Diego/ Salk Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny (CARTA) symposium, 1-5:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21 at Hojel Auditorium, Institute of the Americas (on the UCSD campus), 10111 N. Torrey Pines Road. From the moment of birth, human
infants require an inordinate amount of care and, unlike our nearest living relatives, remain dependent on a variety of caretakers during an unusually long maturation. How did such a distinctive pattern of development evolve and what other human features are linked to it? The lectures will consider neuroendocrine factors, energetics, life-history trade-
offs and consequences for culture. Lectures include: n “Birth and the Newborn Infant” by Wenda Trevathan of New Mexico State University n “Grandmothers and the Extended Family” by Kristen Hawkes of the University of Utah n “Human Fathers” by Hillard Kaplan of the University of New Mexico
n “Hunter-Gatherer Childhood and Human Evolution” by Melvin Konner of Emory University n “Born Human: How the Utterly Dependent Survive” by Sarah Blaffer Hardy of UC Davis Admission is free, although registration is required. To register, visit carta.anthropogeny.org and click on “Birth to Grandmotherhood.” u

From Mural, A1 Katchadourian worked with changing sight lines of the wall, giving careful consideration to scale and image placement to create “an image that would have a very still, low-key, but also strong, steady and mysterious presence. “I wanted to use an image of a whale in a manner that would make it feel a bit like it was hiding, or hidden — one part lurking, one part furtive, one part shy,” she said. The image is based on a high-resolution photograph by Bryant Austin. Katchadourian played with its scale, purposely not showing the edges of the animal’s body. “I think the whale in our imagination is a very, very big thing — figuratively and literally speaking,” she said. “Whales are kind of huge in our mind.” The artist, who earned her master of fine art at UC San Diego, was back in La Jolla to view the completed installation on Feb. 9. “I have of history here and it’s really nice to come back now in a professional capacity,” said Katchadourian, who traveled from La Jolla to San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja, Mexico this week, where Pacific gray whales come to breed and mate along their migratory path. She and collaborator Laurel Braitman, a historian of science, will collect audio

and visual recordings of human interactions with whales to create an intuitive art project (funded by a grant from the Art Matters foundation). “There’s been this kind of curious behavior in recent decades where whales in that lagoon have become very social toward people, and, of their own accord, approach people in boats,” Katchadourian said. “They will sometimes show the young calves to the people in the boats … and no one is quite sure why this behavior has developed. “Many people speak about the incredible experience of making eye contact with a whale,” she said. “That’s also what I hope my mural does. … It’s a way for a person on the ground or in a car going by to make a kind of eye contact with this image and to sort of think about these animals.”
Katchadourian’s work typically employs a variety of media, including sculpture, photography, videography and sound — often springing from observations and interactions with common, everyday circumstances, resulting in works that have both humor and rigor. A long-running theme in her work deals specifically with the relationship between human and nonhuman animals, explored in projects like the “Mended Spiderwebs” series (1998) and the multi-channel video installation “Zoo,” shown at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in 2008. Katchadourian was born in 1968 in Stanford, Calif. For the last 17 years she has lived and worked in Brooklyn, New York. She is also on the faculty at New York University. Murals of La Jolla was

PUMP IT UP February isn’t just about celebrating Valentine’s Day with your sweetheart; it’s about celebrating Heart Health Month! The American Heart Association (AHA) recently released a statement advising physicians to prescribe physical therapy (PT) before recommending pain relievers to patients at risk of heart disease. Some pills may actually increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. In addition, the AHA suggests trying physical therapy including exercise, weight loss and heat or cold therapy first, to address musculoskeletal conditions resulting from osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendonitis and inflammatory joint conditions. At Ability Rehab, our therapists are specialized in orthopedic and neurological PT, addressing the above and more.

What’s the difference between a heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest? ■ A heart attack is essentially a plumbing issue; there is a blockage of one artery that carries oxygenated blood to the heart itself, and then that part of the heart becomes damaged and doesn’t function.
Christine Johnson retells the emotional story of her husband Tom’s (standing with her) sudden cardiac arrest.
EMT Maureen O’Connor said there’s training available on how to use a defibrillator.
■ D uring sudden cardiac arrest, the heart stops beating or there is a problem with the electrical conduction, so it doesn’t beat like a regular heart, but fibrillates, and that motion is not effective at pushing blood flow to vital organs.
Bird Rock Council hears tale of cardiac arrest, need for defibrillators exercising in Bird Rock,” she said. “It was pretty surprising when (my husband Tom) suddenly collapsed in the height of a workout. But we were able to recognize what was happening and called 911 fairly quickly.” Christine is a physician, so she had CPR training, which she performed on her husband for about 10 minutes until the paramedics arrived with an AED. In the meantime, she sent family members running across La Jolla Boulevard into local businesses, looking for a defibrillator.

“There was not a single one to be found,” she told the council. From that moment on, the Johnsons wanted to get involved in community heart health, and found Project Heartbeat. Under the auspices of San Diego Emergency

Medical Services, Project Heartbeat’s goal is to increase AED awareness and help organizations procure them. “There is a California law that states any physical fitness facility — including yoga studios and other traditional gyms — are mandated to have an AED,” Christine explained. “But I’m hoping through the BRCC, we can encourage many other businesses within our community to procure an AED and have the training for employees, and make sure it’s visible so those walking by know

it’s there.” Having a defibrillator available is crucial during a cardiac arrest, when time is of the essence, Christine said. If somebody gets an AED shock delivered within two minutes of the event, the survival rate is 70 percent. For each minute after that, the survival rate goes down 10 percent. Although Christine performed CPR on her husband, she said of the episode, “It’s a miracle he is standing here today and that he survived.” Sharpe Fitness in Bird Rock now has an AED and all the trainers

After a very personal encounter with sudden cardiac arrest, she came before the Feb. 4 Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting, to explain the importance of the life-saving Automatic External Defibrillator (AED), and why these devices should be readily available throughout the community. “The day after Thanksgiving (2013) our whole family was

Owner Brandi Sharpe said she wished she had one the day of Tom Johnson’s cardiac arrest. “I’ve been a certified personal trainer for 20 years and I always thought, ‘I don’t need that machine, that’s not going to happen on my watch,’ ” she said. “If I had that machine, helping Tom would have been so simple. So now there is a machine in my gym.” She added that it is available to anyone in the community. “If you need it, you get it,” she said. “Break down the door if you need to. You are welcome to it.” Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Maureen O’Connor was also at the meeting to emphasize the value of knowing how to use a defibrillator. “It’s very important that we get society — from very young 3-year-olds to 103-year-olds — to recognize cardiac arrest and know what to do if they see it,” she said. “AEDs are very simple to use.” Christine said Bird Rock Elementary School’s AED is en route and should arrive any day. She said she hopes middle and high schools in the San Diego Unified School District will soon have them on hand, as well. O’Connor said Project Heartbeat offers grant assistance for nonprofits to have the machines

In other BRCC news
n Trash services restored: The City of San Diego answered BRCC’s request, after months of petitioning, to install concrete trash cans at the overlooks at Forward Street, Midway Street and Bird Rock Avenue. BRCC president
Jacqueline Bell said concrete trash cans were recently placed at those ocean-viewing spots and frequent pickup restored. In 2009, the city cut trash pickup services at lookout points that do not have beach access. As a temporary measure, residents placed plastic trash cans at those sites that were privately emptied. However, the lightweight receptacles often tipped over, or were filled faster than they could be emptied, and because of the lightweight lid, birds would often
pull food and trash out. n Park improvements coming: By this time next year, if not sooner, the city will begin a park improvement project for La Jolla Hermosa Park, aka Rock Park. Starting from the north end of Camino de la Costa at Chelsea Avenue, existing curb ramps will be replaced to become ADAcompliant. South of that, the dirt path will be renovated to include a new sidewalk that will connect to the

existing sidewalk about 200 feet away. A curb inlet and concrete pad for a bench (so a wheelchair can pull up and be right next to the bench) will also be installed. The bench area will be raised relative to the slope, and a wooden post-and-chain enclosure will be installed to match the surrounding fences. Construction should take four to six weeks. u — The BRCC meets 6 p.m. first Tuesdays at various Bird Rock businesses, details at BirdRockCC.org

Coastal Access and Parking Board refines its list of parking remedies By Ashley Mackin The La Jolla Coastal Access and Parking Board, tasked with implementing the La Jolla Coastal Access Parking Plan, reduced and ranked the list of suggestions collected to alleviate parking issues in the Village, and will pass the list on to other community advisory groups for approval. The board assembled a list of 12 items to submit as alternatives to the La Jolla Coastal Access Parking Plan, which originally suggested a remote parking reservoir and shuttle system, and/or long-term or short-term programs or improvements to parking congestion. The list was narrowed down to three and prioritized in order of what the board deems most realistic, self-sustaining and implementable. n 1) Install a smartphone-based system connected to sensors on spaces in garages, and possibly onstreet, to show the number and location of parking space vacancies. The board opted to add a distribution system of La Jolla parking information in the form of maps and brochures. n 2) Plan and implemention of

a uniform central valet parking system. n 3) Fund the startup of a Village shuttle that circulates between parking lots and garages and various destinations in La Jolla, possibly in the form of a golfcart. (However, some members expressed reservation over whether this item could be self-sustaining given the high costs of driver salaries and liability insurance.) After the required community groups review the suggestions, lawyers representing the City of San Diego will review them and pass them on to the California Coastal Commission staff. The California Coastal Commission, which outlined the original parking plan, collected developer impact fees and applicable interest to set aside for these projects that to date, total $276,000. u

From Hillel Center, A1 conducted for the project (the comment period for which closed this week). In its review of the project, the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC) found the draft EIR to be deficient in several areas, and recommended that the LJCPA consider the matter further. The PRC found: n The EIR used an attendance limit of 50 persons for a noise analysis, though the proposed building has an occupancy limit far greater. n Hillel would increase traffic in the area, given projected development adjacent the Venter Institute on Torrey Pines Road. n Hillel places a student center in a singlefamily residential zone. n Traffic patterns on La Jolla Scenic Drive North and La Jolla Village Drive would make Hillel’s proposed driveway unsafe. n Onsite parking is inadequate for both a religious use and for a student center that can hold as many as 100 to 150 people. n The project will result in a loss of nine on-street parking spaces in the campus impact parking overlay zone (in an area already impacted by the UCSD campus). n Tall windows on the Hillel buildings would create light pollution in the neighborhood. n Hillel will set a precedent for other student centers to be built in the neighborhood. In the end, the LJCPA voted to supplement its March 2013 letter of opposition to the project with the PRC’s bullet points and several other considerations. The motion passed 12-1-1, with only trustee Fran Zimmerman
Attorney Julie Hamilton said the most recent version of an environmental report for the Hillel project failed to take into account future noise and traffic impacts from the project. file in opposition. Though the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance (PDO), or blueprint for development, allows churches and religious institutions in residential zones, it does not allow student centers. Addressing those in attendance, Hillel Executive Director Michael Rabkin maintained that Hillel is not a student center (as its original title stated), but “an independent, religious corporation whose purpose is to serve the religious needs of Jewish college students. “Anyone can plainly see that this project is not a university facility,” Rabkin said. Though Hillel holds functions and meetings at UCSD, Rabkin noted that there is “no registered student organization at the university called Hillel,” and that it is independently funded. “Hillel was incorporated in the state of

California in July of 1992 ‘exclusively for religious purposes’ under the nonprofit religious corporation law,” Rabkin said. “Hillel’s specific purpose is to ‘provide for the religious needs of Jewish students on the university campuses in San Diego County.’ ” Attorney Julie Hamilton, representing a handful of residents near the project who oppose it, said after reviewing Hillel’s tax filings it was still “unclear” whether Hillel was a student center or religious institution. Hamilton charged that the EIR has gone “from bad to worse,” because it fails to take into account future expansion and future impacts on the surrounding neighborhood and roadways. “When you describe your project, you have to describe all of the reasonably foreseeable consequences of the activity being approved,” Hamilton said, noting that a traffic impact analysis conducted on the
project includes an event log showing that as many as 150 people attended some Hillel events on the UCSD Campus, such as its Saturday Night Shabbat service and dinner. Though Hillel has said it would not relocated its Shabbat service to its new center, Hamilton noted that plans call for an industrial kitchen and that the facility would have the capacity to accommodate Shabbat. “On more than one occasion Hillel has mentioned that they want to expand in the future,” Hamilton said. “You have to consider that future expansion. At a minimum, you have to anticipate all the foreseeable activities that would come with this approval. You can’t come back in two years and say, well, we’re going to move Shabbat over because it’s too expensive to keep doing it at UCSD and we’ve got this great facility.”

From infrastructure, A1 Belvedere Promenade project on Prospect Street, as well as more modest items such as the installation of sidewalks near Pottery Canyon Park and at La Jolla Hermosa Park. Residents of District 1 — which includes La Jolla — met at Nobel Rec Center in UTC Jan. 22 for an Infrastructure Workshop led by District 5 San Diego City Councilmember Mark Kersey, who chairs the city’s Infrastructure Committee (formed last year by City Council President Todd Gloria). During the workshop, several thick binders sat on a table, each packed with community planning groups’ wish lists for fiscal year 2015 (including those finalized by the LJCPA). “We are at a very critical juncture in the city when it comes to infrastructure,” Kersey said. “This is a subject that has been neglected for as long as anyone can remember. As a result, we now have a $1 billion-plus backlog of (infrastructure) projects and — spoiler alert — we don’t have a billion dollars lying around to pay for them.”

The TPRCP includes traffic calming measures to enhance vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic along the main artery in and out of La Jolla from Interstate 5. Jill Esterbrooks, a representative from Lightner’s office, told La Jolla Light that design for phase 1 of the is 90 percent complete. Construction on phase 1 should begin in September and take 85 working days to complete. It involves building a continuous sidewalk on the north (ocean) side of Torrey Pines Road, from the Village to La Jolla Shores Drive, and a new sidewalk on the south side of the road from Calle Juela to Roseland Drive. Phase 1 is fully funded through $1.1 million in SANDAG/TransNet money and $100,000 in
“not sitting in dormant projects,” as well as developer impact fee (DIF) accounts, to assure money collected when developers pay for their projects’ infrastructure is used in a “timely” manner. (La Jolla has $101,226 in its DIF account.)
La Jolla development impact fees. The estimate to build the entire project from La Jolla Shores Drive to Prospect Place is $25 million. The project has been broken into four phases of $5 million-$10 million each. City staff has suggested breaking the project down into even smaller chunks to more easily secure TransNet funding (the city’s half-cent transportation sales tax). “Our office is looking at interim actions that can be taken while larger amounts of funding are identified for future phases, including looking for creative ways to use bicycle and pedestrian grant funding to do some improvements,” Esterbrooks said, via e-mail, noting that the establishment of a maintenance assessment district or other special district to fund the project has been considered, though it would have to have approval of a majority of voters living in the vicinity of the project. Anyone interested in a helping fund the project through donations or private fundraising is urged to call Lightner’s office at (619) 236-6611, Esterbrooks said. u Infrastructure Committee Consultant Almis Udrys said the city is not spending enough on infrastructure from its general fund, which for fiscal year 2014 is about $1.2 billion. “If you take all the money we spend out of our general fund on infrastructure, it’s six

The city has suggested a number of remedies to get some of the projects funded and completed, such as reducing the number of times a project bounces back and forth within city bureaucracy. In a Jan. 24 memo to Kersey, District 1 City Councilmember and La Jolla resident Sherri Lightner, who serves as vice-chair of the Infrastructure Committee, suggested the committee review the city’s capital improvement projects to assure funds are

cents on every dollar,” Udrys said. Of the $179 million budgeted for infrastructure in fiscal year 2014, 66 percent is being paid for out of sewer and water bill fees, and must be spent on water and waste-water projects. Among measures that will help the city determine how much additional money it needs to pull from its general fund for infrastructure are condition assessments being conducted on city assets, Udrys said. An assessment of San Diego’s streets was conducted in 2011 (and can be viewed in map format online); an assessment of its roughly 5,000 miles of sidewalks — conducted by engineering students from UC San Diego and San Diego State University — began in January. The city has about $170 million in requests for new sidewalks that it doesn’t have funding for, Kersey said, noting that repair and maintenance of city sidewalks is actually the responsibility of the property owner. The city has a little-known “50/50 Cost Sharing Program,” in which it will split the cost of repair or replacement of sidewalks that are deteriorating. Kersey is working to promote the program and said there are discussions of the city kicking in as much as 75 percent of a property owner’s sidewalk repair costs. Given the funding shortage, Kersey stressed the importance of communityassisted budget prioritization for everything from police and fire stations to rec centers, storm drains and streets. “There’s such a large amount of deferred maintenance that in some cases we can’t even catch up. We just have to essentially tear it up and start anew,” he said.

n Bond money on the way
On Jan. 14 the San Diego City Council approved a $120 million infrastructure bond, that invests more than $43 million for street repairs; $1 million for sidewalk improvements; more than $27 million for five fire station and a new lifeguard station in South Mission Beach; $21 million for storm drains; and about $4.7 million for ADA upgrades. “It frankly doesn’t even stop the decline, but it does slow it down for now,” Kersey said. “Most of those projects are ready to go … because Wall Street wants to see that money used within three years.” To shorten the time it takes for a project to go from concept to completion, last year the city council approved streamlining measures that Kersey said would cut months off the time it takes to complete projects. Though most large cities and government agencies have a plan for investing in future infrastructure (including the Port of San Diego and County of San Diego), the City of San Diego does not. That’s something Kersey said his committee is in the process of developing. A five-year plan will be ready for city council consideration by early summer, he said. “Not only does the City of San Diego not have a multi-year infrastructure investment plan, we can’t find evidence that we’ve ever had one,” Kersey said. “Infrastructure has never been looked at as a strategic investment that you need to pay years in advance for.” It will be the first time the city has taken all these long-term projects and assigned them price tags and funding sources, based

Timely San Diego infrastructure planning information: ■ Twitter: Search for tweets using the hashtag #rebuildSD on current policy, Kersey said. Udrys said when a community planning group requests a project, the city screens it against various criteria, including whether the project enhances public safety or economic development, and whether it is required by state or federal mandate.
Maryl Weightman
For example, the city has about $4 billion in storm water infrastructure projects due for completion in the next 20 years. Though the city doesn’t have money to pay for them all, the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board could fine the city for not completing them on time, Kersey said.
The process of seeking community input on the city’s annual capital improvements budget was initiated in 2012 by former San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders at the urging of La Jolla resident Joe LaCava, who is chair of the city’s Community Planners Committee, which coordinates input among the city’s planning groups, such as the LJCPA (which LaCava vice-chairs). Though it will likely be several years before the city gets around to tackling any of the significant projects on La Jolla’s priority list, LaCava said items that are partially funded by private dollars — such as the Children’s Pool sidewalk beautification project — have a better chance of receiving city funds. La Jollan Phyllis Minick and the La Jolla Parks and Beaches committee, which spearheaded the sidewalk remodel, have reached their initial goal of raising $250,000 for the project (from two major donations and smaller gifts of $500 to $10,000, including in-kind donations of services.) A representative from Lightner’s office said that in March the city council is expected to approve an additional $70,000 in capital improvement project funding for the remodel (which will cover some or all of an estimated 20 percent cost increase since the job was first bid). Though LaCava said some of other items on La Jolla’s priority list are fairly “ambitious,” he maintained, “I never say never. Redoing the ‘Throat’ and doing the roundabouts in Bird Rock were both pretty outrageous projects when they were first suggested, but we found a way to get those funded.” u

La Jolla Brewing Company now open with custom crafts By Marti Gacioch With the recent opening of the La Jolla Brewing Company (LJBC), the Village gained both a spacious new neighborhood restaurant in the heart of town and an opportunity to sample the craft beer boom exploding locally. “There are 60 to 70 breweries in San Diego now — and it has really taken off in the last 18 months; we’re the hot spot in the country for craft brewers,” said Joe Matibag, marketing representative for La Jolla Brewing Company. “We’re really excited about brewing our own beers in La Jolla.” Phil Aitken, founding partner of the brewery, who also founded the Gaslamp’s Stingaree bar/lounge, welcomed the opportunity to open a neighborhood restaurant with a casual atmosphere where people could relax and enjoy sampling good beer and food. Leigh Gibson, operations manager, opened the Commons in downtown San Diego and owns Dirty Birds in Pacific Beach.
The interior of La Jolla Brewing Company features a spacious 6,000-square foot wood/iron décor. LJBC’s spacious, open, airy floor plan (nearly 6,000 square feet) integrates brewing equipment with a wood/iron décor and a capacity for more than 250 people. It features 20 TVs and three seating
areas — a dining room/bar, a dogfriendly patio with a retractable roof, and a private meeting/special events room. The brewing company has some 40 employees. “There aren’t many private

meeting areas in restaurants in the Village, but we offer one that can host private functions,” Matibag said. “The room also features a 24tap rotating selection of San Diego County craft beers from brewers
without tasting rooms in San Diego, who can highlight their beers in the back room.” Head brewer Brett Stampf is making a variety of LJBC’s own craft beers, with local names like Sunny Jim’s IPA, Neptune’s Nitro, Glider Port Pale, Cove Side Stout and Bird Rock Brown. LJBC serves a California coastal cuisine menu that emphasizes a fresh food selection that changes daily. Many of the entrees incorporate beer into the recipe, such as beer in sausages, duck egg rolls, a BBQ pulled-pork sandwich and roast chicken. LJBC is open daily 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eventually, owners will offer late-night dining on weekends from 4 p.m. until 2 a.m. u — La Jolla Brewing Company, 7536 Fay Ave. (between Kline and Pearl Streets.)

Students say ‘oui oui’ to French-American education From French-American School Reports
San Diego French-American School offers an outstanding bilingual education for children in pre-elementary school through the eighth grade and prepares students to enter an American or an international high school. Determined to give their children the best advantages in life, the French start public school at age 3. Intent on continuing this excellence abroad, SDFAS teachers in the pre-elementary school distinguish themselves by following the academic program of the French Ministry of Education and they hold the equivalent of a master’s degree in education and a French teaching credential. They are qualified to teach from pre-elementary through the fifth grade, having a unique understanding of what is expected at
each age level. Add to this the teaching styles of American independent school teachers and you have an educational mix that challenges students to become true global citizens. Whereas American education is known for teaching students to be well spoken and creative, the French education system excels in executive function: planning, organizing and encouraging autonomy and critical thinking at an early age. French structure and American ingenuity make for well-rounded, motivated, multilingual and fun individuals prepared for the 21st century. SDFAS accepts both non-French and non-English speakers. Because the upper grades are taught in combined French and English, it is advantageous for students unfamiliar with French to
enroll in pre-elementary or early elementary school. Children do not have to speak French at home to become bilingual in French and English. In fact, the school has a strong support system in place for helping these students, such as The Learning Center, French as a Foreign Language support, and after school homework classes. u — The San Diego French-American School is at 6650 Soledad Mountain Road, La Jolla.

OUR READERS WRITE Brookhaven, Georgia: Another reason La Jolla can become its own city Look at Brookhaven, Ga. This is a city about the same size as La Jolla, which in 2012 finally became its own city and the country’s most recent village-to-city special reorganization. Yes, there was resistance. It took time to raise the money required, and it was hard to convince the community of the truth — that they could break away and become a stronger and more efficient government and have control over their own affairs, with nothing to lose and everything to gain. They joined together knowing it could not get worse, and that hope was better than what they had. They needed a voice, and they were willing to pay a one-time price for it (that will be paid back through the years). They incorporated; they were free. A big snowstorm just hit the southeast. Now that Brookhaven is its own city, it can contract for its parks, roads, sidewalks, police and development services and not pay DeKalb County’s inflated prices — plus their taxes have decreased. Cities have the opportunity to fix things at half the price (if not less). Brookhaven is also of interest to us because it is the most similar to La Jolla in recent special reorganizations anywhere in the country. It is 12 square miles in size, has a downtown
business improvement district, a shoreline and 49,000 people. So, demographically and geographically, it is very similar to La Jolla. Brookhaven had a 10-year backlog on road repaving — only six miles of Brookhaven were paved in the three years prior to the special reorganization proposal. Since its incorporation, the new city has fared well, with successful elections held, shorelines improved, sidewalks built and roads repaired. We can do this. Please visit IndependentLaJolla.org before we lose what little momentum we have left. Potholes, crumbling sidewalks — La Jolla can do what the City of San Diego can’t. Believe it. Melinda Merryweather La Jolla
Sherri S. Lightner should truthfully give credit where credit is due La Jolla’s councilmember Sherri S. Lightner wrongly claims victory! She states the following in her recent newsletter: “When the city was facing a large budget deficit a few years ago, it removed trash cans from coastal overlooks in Bird Rock as one of many cost-saving measures. Since that time, Sherri has been working closely with the Bird Rock community to identify creative solutions to restore
these trash cans and clean up these coastal overlooks. The Bird Rock Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) agreed to regularly collect the trash from the overlooks if the city was able to restore the cans. This winter, the city restored trash cans to four coastal overlooks, and the MAD has been picking up the trash ever since. Thanks to the Bird Rock Community Council for working with us to beautify these scenic over-looks.” In my opinion, the truth is the City of San Diego was always responsible for keeping and emptying trash cans at these locations. They were lost on “Sherri’s Watch,” she gets them back, and then sticks the local Bird Rock MAD to pay the bill that the city should have been paying all along! And this is a victory for you, Sherri? What a crock! Stop saving the whales, Sherri. Please do your job and fix our roads, fix our enormous pension problems, and stop dragging your feet on managed competition! Lance Pelky La Jolla

OUR READERS WRITE La Joll Cove gates has worked to re-establish area’s charm I have lived adjacent to the Brockton Villa restaurant at the La Jolla Cove since 2005. During that time, the sea lion population grew from two or three at any given time to well over 200. The resident cormorant population also exploded. The stench above the Cove had become revolting. On regular occasions, I witnessed people holding their noses and hurrying away, and saw children throwing up on the sidewalk. Since the pedestrian access gate was installed on Dec. 31, 2013, the change has been remarkable. The number of sea lions and birds has dwindled down to a small fraction of what it was. People are again walking on the rocks, taking pictures, and respectfully observing the remaining wildlife using the area. The smell has mostly gone away, and I
believe that with a couple of good rains, the rocks will get washed and the smell will diminish even further. I am so thankful that the City of San Diego took this common sense approach to solve the problem. The gate is a natural solution, unlike the very expensive and ineffective method of spraying bio-chemicals. Now I see people again loving their walks on the sidewalk and enjoying the unique and magnificent view of our beautiful La Jolla Cove. Timothy McGowan La Jolla

County Clerk welcomes all couples to wed on Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day 2014 (2/14/14) is an easy date to remember. The date falls on a Friday and comes before the three-day President’s Day weekend. This will likely mean a record-breaking day for marriage licenses and ceremonies at the county. San Diego County Assessor/ Recorder/County Clerk, Ernest J. Dronenburg, Jr., wants to make sure that all couples wishing to “tie the knot” or renew their wedding vows come to the historic County Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Highway, for their wedding ceremony. “We have decided to open our downtown location for walk-in services on Valentine’s Day to accommodate all those wanting to be married on this special occasion,”
Dronenburg said in a press release. The downtown San Diego office will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for licenses and ceremonies. Reservations can be made at (619) 237-0502. Appointments are recommended and will receive priority, but will not be required on Valentine’s Day. The cost of a non-confidential marriage license is $70; a confidential marriage license is $89. If a couple would like to be married at the County Administration Center by enthusiastic County staff, the cost is an additional $88. The office has witnesses available, if needed, for an $18 fee.

Rita Berro 1923 – 2014
The remarkable Rita Berro passed away suddenly from a stroke. She was 90 in years but so youthful in spirit, in mind and in body. She was
the mother, grandmother, sister and aunt everyone wished they had. Rita founded Concept Now Cosmetics in 1971 which still thrives today. As a single mother she raised two daughters. She traveled extensively all over the world and in her mid-fifties followed her lifelong dream of attending college. She enrolled in UCLA and in five years graduated Cum Laude in History. After moving from Santa Monica and her beloved UCLA to La Jolla in 1998, she started her connection with UC San Diego, auditing classes every quarter. Her precious grandchildren, Molly and Sam, were the highlights of her life and for the last 25 years brought her so much joy and magic. Until her last days, she was active with concerts, movies, dinners out with friends and family, and daily treadmill workouts. She passed surrounded by her family, in no discomfort and bathed in love, respect
and the appreciation of those who loved her most. She will surely be missed by UCLA, UCSD, See’s Candy, Tapenade, Landmark Theaters and her best friend, Marsha Sable. But none will miss her as much as her two daughters, Barbara Gross Davis and Karen Gross McRoberts; her grandchildren, Sam McRoberts and Molly McRoberts; her sister, Esther Stern; and all of her extended family. It was a beautiful life lived exactly as she wanted it. Thirty years ago, she established an endowment at UCLA to benefit research on women’s health issues.

New members welcome aboard La Jolla High Sail Team GUEST COMMENTARY By Kieran M. Bauman ver think about sailing? One of the best experiences in life is to be a part of a team sport. Competitive team sailing is one of those. When you are part of a team, you bond with others. You accept responsibility to perform at your best. You want to excel for your team, and, even more importantly, for yourself. I’ve been a competitive sailor with the La Jolla High Sail Team since seventh grade and it has been the experience of a lifetime! The team consists of a great group of students in grades 8-12 from Muirlands Middle School and La Jolla High. We travel all along the West Coast as we visit other yacht clubs from Long Beach to San Francisco. We race in a multitude of regattas against other school teams. Some of these locations include Newport Beach, San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Practices are 3-6 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday (this is dependant on daylight time). There is much preparation involved; when you first get there, you sign up for a boat and rig it. This includes raising the sails, putting in your

rudder and tiller, and bringing it to the dock. The boats we use are two-person boats called C-FJ’s. They are built for speed and competitive racing. Once everyone is rigged and changed into their gear — gloves, life jacket (PFD), bathing suit — we are briefed by the coach who outlines what we’re going to do once on the water. We then sail, practicing maneuvers, speed and team organization for future regattas. The drills include practicing starts, acceleration, speed control, gaining rights on other boats while on the water, and roll tacks. After a while on the water, we sail in, de-rig, wash the boat down, put them away, change into our regular clothes, and our coach offers a recap on what we did well and what we need to improve on as a team. The Mission Bay Yacht Club is our team home and we are members of the club. The environment (good food and great views) promotes great friendships and is a fun place to hang out after practice or at any time. The La Jolla High Sailing Team is definitely worth investigating if you love the water, want to work hard, and desire learning a lifetime sport.

‘Little Boxes’
Student playwright pens drama premiering at La Jolla High School By Ashley Mackin “Little Boxes,” an original drama by La Jolla High School junior Noah Wilson, will debut at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19, with 7 p.m. shows Feb. 20-22 at the school’s Parker Auditorium, 750 Nautilus St. The young playwright, son of John Wilson and Sue Makkoo, said the show is about “temporary moments of insanity and how we can sometimes realize they are actually temporary moments of clarity.” Set at a wake, the story reveals what different characters discover about themselves, their friends and family, in the face of troublesome circumstances. Director and drama department chair, Ann Boutelle, said despite Wilson’s age (16), the play is mature; both funny and dramatic, and well-developed. “I, and every other adult at a read-through in December, do not qualify this as a teenage play or a teenager-written play,” she said. “It really is quite sophisticated and Noah’s capturing of adult voices is amazing. He understands adult behavior, adult conflict and the way people talk to each other (including a couple of F-bombs used in anger). This is not an immature effort at all. Noah has created real lives with this.” Some of the characters include a grieving, alcoholic widow and a woman so insecure she must use sock puppets to communicate. “It’s been so cool to watch my students portray these well-thought-out adult characters,” Boutelle added. The characters were fleshed out during collaborations between Wilson, Boutelle and the entire drama club. Once he completed his first draft of the script, Wilson took it to the club for editing and review (although Boutelle said because the script was so “beautifully written,” there wasn’t much
Above: Noah Wilson, 16, wrote the ‘Little Boxes’ script, which debuts at La Jolla High on Feb. 19. Left: Dan (Tanner Perry) talks to Sarah (Celie Mitchard) when she brings out the sock puppet she uses to communicate. Andrea (Hannah Orr) and Julie (Hannelore Manriquez) watch. Photos by Ashley Mackin editing to be had). Of the process, Wilson said, “I was so enthralled and so interested in what people had to say … for example, if something wouldn’t be working, others would offer their ideas to make a scene smoother. It was a huge help, I learned a lot from everyone. The actors took the script into their hands and made the characters their own. “I’m so proud to work with the people involved and feel so indebted to Ms. Boutelle for (directing and producing) this. It has been such an amazing experience for me.” The experience as a whole started when Wilson was 8 years old and living in a suburb of Aurora, Co. before moving to La Jolla. “It was wildly dysfunctional and the idea of, ‘are we really happy with the lives
we have?’ stayed with me. I was inspired by my hometown and watching my parents and my friends’ parents, and the dynamics between those relationships,” he explained. In July 2013, he began putting a story on paper, and it took him three months to complete. However, he spent two additional months editing before he showed his story to the La Jolla High School drama department. Though the production is nearing its debut, Wilson said one takeaway from the experience is that the editing never ends. “You are always writing and making your story better. You are never done with it,” he said. “Some days you’ll be writing a lot and on a roll and other days you’ll sit at the computer and cannot think of anything. And that’s OK … because we all have bad
writing days.” However, the stars of Wilson’s production wouldn’t know it. Hallie Bodenstab, who calls Wilson a good friend and who will be playing the role of Martha, said, “I read it and thought it was amazing. The play really captures the emotions that go on between adults and children, and there was so much truth to it that I didn’t know could come out of my friend. From the play itself, I hope people will see that everybody should be themselves and not hide in the societal boxes they might put themselves into.” u n The drama is recommended for ages 14 and older. Tickets are $7 students, $10 adults and can be purchased at Parker Auditorium, 750 Nautilus St. (858) 454-3081.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: La Jolla High School Vikings 52, Mission Bay High School Buccaneers, 11
La Jolla High uses Mission Bay victory as training for playoffs By Ed Piper a Jolla High School Vikings coach Dave Westhem still wants his team to work on fullcourt and three-quarter-trapping in the press in preparation for the CIF playoffs in two weeks. So, in the Vikings’ easy 52-11 win over a depleted Mission Bay High School Buccaneers Feb. 7, they did just that — work on the press to get the kinks out. Senior Sierra Westhem, the coach’s daughter, agreed it is still a work in progress: “We want to get better at our press. We just put a trap in, so if we’re in a close situation, then we’re able to use our trap. But it’s new and we’re not very secure.” La Jolla center Madeleine Gates led all scorers with 16 points, and had 10 rebounds and three blocks in limited minutes as the entire squad saw playing time. Viking Westhem had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. Senior Sophia Sowers chipped in 12 points with five assists. The Vikings didn’t spend too much time practicing trapping, because it just forced more errors from the already hapless Buccaneer squad and ballooned the score even more. La Jolla started early after the opening tip won by the 6-2 Gates

with a 3-pointer by Sowers, another captain who had two threes in the game for a total of 57 this season, shooting at a respectable 31 percent from beyond the arc. Gates took an inside feed for a close-up basket, then had a block before Westhem scored on a layup to put the Vikings up 9-3. La Jolla looked a little sloppy in the early going, despite their superiority over Mission Bay, missing shots and committing some turnovers. But the team focus was evident. Coach Westhem said he was really pleased with his team’s 46-34 win over rival University City Feb. 4. Playoffs start Feb. 25. The Vikings, ranked fifth in CIF Division III, are now 7-2 in Western League play, 15-8 overall. “They (the Buccaneers) played zone the whole game, so we were able to pass to the gaps and get open for shots,” said Sowers, a 5-7 senior guard. Sowers, a 3-point specialist whose trademark is a long red braid that swings as she moves on offense and defense, has had to make a transition to share point guard duties because of the needs of the team. She has handled it with aplomb. “It’s definitely new, but it has definitely helped me improve my ball-

handling,” she said. “I’ve been able to start driving to the basket more because I’ve been put into that position. I’ve just become more confident with my ball-handling skills. So, it’s beneficial.” Sowers leads the Vikings with a 14.3 points per game average, with 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Sierra Westhem averages 9 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. “For CIF, we need to be more than one-dimensional and just be looking for shots, because those shots don’t always fall. Lay-ups are more a guarantee,” Westhem said. That’s what the Vikings focused on in the game. u

BOYS BASKETBALL: The Bishop’s School Knights 56, La Jolla Country Day Torreys 55
Bishop’s ekes out overtime win against Country Day, 56-55 By Ed Piper tephen Thomson made one of two free throws with 0.3 seconds left in overtime to give The Bishop’s School Knights a 56-55 victory over the La Jolla Country Day School Torreys in a Coastal South League game at home Feb. 5. Thomson, a sophomore guard, was immediately mobbed by the student cheering section, whose members swarmed onto the court after Country Day’s long pass at the buzzer fizzled. Sahil Sheth had made a 3-point shot as the clock ran out in regulation time to tie the game 51-51 and send it into the overtime, setting up Thomson’s opportunity. “I’m just excited. It’s unreal,” a dazed Thomson said right after escaping the Knight student body’s jostling and jumping. He missed the first of the two free throws. “I knew my teammates believed in me. I was just shooting 50 percent, so …” As a result of the narrow win, Bishop’s got back into a healthier position in the Coastal South League, where the Knights had been 1-3 in their first four games. The win against cross-town rival LJCD got them off the mat. Another Matt, senior guard Matt Lizanich, fouled out with 4:13 remaining in regulation time to even make Thomson’s presence in the overtime possible. The other starting guard, Eric Yu, committed his fourth foul in the third quarter with 2:48

left. Bishop’s coach Matt Niehues chose to keep both starters in the game despite the foul trouble, come what may. Sheth commented on his tying shot at the end of regulation: “We just had to hit a three. We were looking for a quick layup, but I didn’t think we were gonna get it. So I got the ball. I had made two earlier today. I had missed the two before that, but I knew that this one was going to go in.” Sheth made a turnover in overtime, losing control of the ball and then stepping on the sideline while trying to recover it: “I grinded my teeth quite a bit. But I knew that we were going to pull it off, and then Stephen stepped up, and he made it. The biggest free throw of his life.” Said Sheth, a sophomore like Thomson: “We dropped three in a row (league and non-league games), and we needed one and we got it. We got off the shy, as Coach (Matt Niehues) likes to say.” Thomson: “This came off losing two of three (in league), so it turns our entire season around.” Bishop’s lost at Parker, 5450, Feb. 7, moving to 2-4 in league, 11-9 overall, while be ranked seventh in CIF. Country Day dropped to 0-6 in league play, 8-13 overall after a 44-42 loss at Santa Fe Christian Feb. 7. Before the Bishop’s game, LJCD coach Ryan Meier commented: “We need to be better defenders. We’re really focused on,

with a young group, becoming better defenders. I’m not so worried now on the offensive end. Our defense will feed what we do offensively. But right now we’re so bad defensively, we need to get better.” LJCD looked fairly effective against Bishop’s and brought it early, leading 19-13 early in the second quarter. Country Day scored 11 straight points ending the third quarter and beginning the fourth to lead 4337, but couldn’t hold the lead. Meier said he remains impressed with the play of his freshman guard, Josiah Esselstrom. u

institutions create temporary impacts, the framers of the PDO allowed religious institutions for a reason. “The community as a whole benefits from having those institutions within it,” Morton said. “There may be many issues with this EIR … but you have to look at why the framers would allow this.” La Jolla Shores resident Kim Whitney said she believes the Hillel center would be “a wonderful thing for the community,” and that religious fellowship is akin to worship. LJCPA trustee Helen Boyden took issue with the EIR referring to the loss of nine parking spaces as “insignificant.” “It is more than an insignificant loss,” she said, noting that from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. the streets near the site allow only two-hour parking. Rabkin said Hillel “has made every effort” to work with neighbors to address their concerns. “We continue to extend an open invitation to address these concerns and work toward a resolution,” he said. “Our intention is to be good neighbors and bring enhanced value to the neighborhood with this beautiful project.” In the next few months Rabkin said Hillel project representatives will work with the City of San Diego to respond to comments received on the EIR. Once the EIR is in final form, it will be voted on by the Planning Commission and City Council, he said. u

Hamilton said the La Jolla Shores Design Manual calls for 200 feet of stopping distance for a driveway (the Hillel center as proposed would have 150). Additionally, she said, noise from 50 students talking or singing at one time would reach close to 45 decibels at adjacent single-family residences. “At 45 (decibels) you’ve just exceeded the noise ordinance and you have a significant impact,” she said. Ross Starr, who lives blocks from the proposed center and opposes it, said if the center is in fact a religious institution, then it doesn’t meet the parking requirement for such, as defined in the PDO. La Jolla Shores resident Tim Lucas noted that the words “student center” in the original project title were stricken out in the most recent EIR. Additionally, Lucas and several others noted that the land for the center — which the city sold to Hillel in 2006 for $940,000 — was originally slated as a pocket park in the community plan. Lucas said that detail should have been included as an impact in the EIR. Architect Michael Morton, who resigned from the PRC in 2012 over what he felt was an unfair and biased hearing of the Hillel project, said that though religious

onna Aprea is membership officer for the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), secretary to Independent La Jolla, and a member of the La Jolla Town Council. She was born and raised in Hebron, New Hampshire and in Boston, Mass. While living in Boston, she was employed for more than 20 years by the town of Needham, which provided her with experience and knowledge in the field of municipal government. A 2006 visit by her brother and his family resulted in a life-changing decision to resign from her Donna Aprea job in Needham and relocate to California to be closer to them. She is now employed by The Scripps Research Institute and she maintains her interest in civic activities, particularly the Community Planning Association, where she hopes to encourage fellow La Jollans to become more involved in land-use issues developing all around them.
What brought you to La Jolla? I had never been to San Diego before I relocated to California, so I did not know anything about the city. I spent my first night and day in Coronado, and then fate stepped in 36 hours after I left Boston. I had a chance encounter with the property manager of an apartment building in the Village and she offered to rent an apartment to me, even though I did not yet have a job. I didn’t know if I would get another offer like hers, so I accepted. I stayed in Coronado until my belongings arrived from the East Coast and moved into La Jolla in November 2006. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I told La Jolla Town Council President Cindy Greatrex that if I won Powerball, I would give some of my winnings to Independent La Jolla so we could move on in our quest for separation from the City of San Diego. It would be even better if I could snap my fingers and have that wish come true. If we would separate the community of La Jolla from the City of

kingdom dwellers thought it would be just the same as before, only cheaper. They totally forgot the old adage; there is no such thing as a free lunch. They couldn’t have fathomed how literally true that would be. When prices were set before the big ogre came, the way the airline people could compete was by providing service, like fluffy pillows, full meals, and actually being really nice to the passengers. But now that the prices were not set, the airline people competed only by fares. When fuel costs went up, the airline people flew fewer and fewer flights with teenier and teenier seats and less and less legroom. The 6’3” business flier kingdom dwellers, like your grandpa Olof, suddenly found themselves sitting with their knees around their necks. No, you’re absolutely right; it isn’t very comfy. The kingdom dwellers were astonished to find that those fluffy pillows were now inflatables and cost $8, a “sandwich” consisting of two thick slices of stale bread and a thin sliver of turkey cost $10, and the airline people, who used to be so nice, had been replaced by graduates of the Evil Troll Travel School. They thought nothing of leaving the kingdom dwellers sitting on the tarmac for nine hours without food, water or working

was recently reading a fairy tale to my tiny grandchildren: Once upon a time, sweeties, in a land closer than you think, there lived magic flying machines called commercial airplanes. Their owners made it their business to take people from one end of the kingdom to the other so they could see new places, or visit their family, or do work. The commercial airline people loved their jobs and wanted to make all the people who flew with them happy. If your airplane left late, the airline people felt so bad about it that they insisted on serving free Champagne for the entire flight. If your flight was late or cancelled, you could run over to a different company of airline people and they were deliriously happy to take your ticket. No change fees, no hassle, and plenty of seats. In fact, you could often have an empty seat next to you. Yes, darlings, really. But then a great big ogre called deregulation lumbered into the land. At first the kingdom’s inhabitants didn’t realize it was an ogre because it was wearing sheep’s clothing. OK, maybe grandma is mixing metaphors here. But the ogre was offering sheep, er, cheap seats. Who could argue with that? The
enough, are considering allowing cell phone use on airplanes. Even the sky marshal folks will not be able to keep up with the on-board homicides if they do, as kingdom dwellers, forced to listen to bored passengers’ banal droning for six straight hours, will finally snap and beat them to death with a tray table that was not in its full upright and locked position. The TSA people will respond by removing tray tables from airplanes on the grounds that they could be used for terrorist purposes. The experience has become so miserable that lots of kingdom dwellers don’t fly anymore, except under something called duress. Some of them are kingdom dwellers who remember when the airplane trip — yes, in coach! — was part of the fun of getting there, and where their now‘sandwich.’ mandatorily unlocked baggage wasn’t free shopping for baggage handlers, peanuts weren’t considered a meal, and water wasn’t a deadly weapon.

bathrooms. This became known as the Prisoner of War Model of airline travel. Even though there were far fewer airplanes flying, the airline people began cancelling lots of flights, often citing “weather.” Global warming aside, there suddenly appeared to be a lot more weather than there used to be. Your grandpa Olof got Marriott Gold status on Houston alone. But ever since the ogre arrived, all the airplanes were full so that if your airplane got cancelled due to “weather,” or its imaginary twin, “mechanical problems,” there were no seats for three days unless you camped at the airline gate with your bags and did something called “standby.” And good luck with that. Of course, it would make sense to go nonstop so you wouldn’t have to spend three A typical airline days in Houston but the airline people also implemented the “hub and spoke” model not coincidentally styled after a torture device popular in the Middle Ages. But the airline people did do one nice thing: they prohibited smoking on airplanes, replacing it with the constant ping of iPad games. Sort of like water dripping from a faucet except you can’t put a bucket under it. And even worse, the evil troll airline people, feeling that they were not punishing the kingdom dwellers

Stratford Court Café offers tasty escape from hustle and bustle By Kelley Carlson ust a block off bustling Camino del Mar in Del Mar is a calming oasis that’s nearly hidden from plain view, but wellknown among the locals. The Stratford Court Cafe provides breakfast and lunch in a garden patio setting, on the grounds of an early 1900s Cape Cod-style house. Guests are surrounded by flowers and foliage, and serenaded by birds, while enjoying the fresh air. Many of them bring their canine companions, which rest contentedly in the patches of sunlight and snack on housemade dog biscuits. “You can’t duplicate a place like this,” said Terry Sonken, who owns and operates the restaurant with her husband, Greg. “It’s a one-in-a-million kind of spot. It has a relaxing atmosphere that’s quite charming.” What adds to the appeal is the Sonkens’ desire to get to know their customers on a first-name basis. They’re constantly assisting with the service and other tasks, which gives them an opportunity to mingle with guests. Terry also does all of the baking, primarily breads and desserts. Her specialties include the popular Lumpy Muffins, featuring apples, raisins, cinnamon, carrots and walnuts; moist slices of Banana Bread topped with walnuts; and Cinnamon Rolls. Organic, natural ingredients are used in the fare at Stratford Court Cafe and everything is cooked to order, Greg noted. Along with baked goods, there are bagels, croissants, granola and various egg entrees available for breakfast. There’s also the W.O.W. (Waffle of the Week), in which different toppings such as

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured ‘On The Menu’ restaurant at www.bit.ly / menurecipes
n This week’s recipe: Banana Bread peaches and strawberries are featured on a rotating basis. During the weekends, there are two bonus selections: the Eggs Benedict with smoked ham and a house-made, oldfashioned Hollandaise sauce; and the roasted vegetable Frittata served with toast and fruit. If desired, patrons can pair their meals with mimosas. The cafe also presents a full lunch, mainly consisting of soups, salads and sandwiches. The soups, created in the café’s kitchen, change daily — the majority of them are vegetarian or vegan, but there’s also Chicken Tortilla and Clam Chowder. As for the salads, there are about a half-dozen from which to choose, including the traditional Cobb with turkey, bacon, avocado, tomato, jack cheese and hardboiled eggs; and the California, a medley of chicken breast, caramelized walnuts, smoked gouda, mandarin oranges, raisins, red onion and arugula.

The sandwiches are accompanied by a homemade cilantro pasta salad. Among the most requested sandwiches are the Vermonster with layers of smoked turkey, cranberry mayonnaise, cheddar cheese and apple between slices of toast; and the Turf Club, a stack of turkey, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato and ranch dressing on three pieces of toast. Vegetarians seem to adore the Veggie Pesto and the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus selections. While many people visit the café for a meal, some come to enjoy “coffee talks” over hot and cold beverages, whether it’s a traditional cup of java or a specialty such as the Milky Way, almost a dessert in itself with chocolate, caramel, steamed milk and espresso that’s finished with whipped cream. Others may opt for beer or a glass of wine. And there are smoothies that can function as liquid meals, including the Chunky Monkey with soy milk, peanut butter, bananas and honey. u

From 10 Questions, B1 San Diego and become the City of La Jolla, Calif., the improvements to our new city would start right away. Who or what inspires you? Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda. I would have done it, I could have done it, I should have done it. I made the decision to uproot my entire life and relocate to California because I did not want the regret of “what might have been” to come back and haunt me later on in my life. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Gordon Ramsay to cook for us; Dr. Oz to supervise Gordon’s menu; Ellen Browning Scripps because 82 years after she passed, we are STILL talking about her; Randy Pausch gave and wrote “ The Last Lecture “ a favorite book; Katherine Graham of The Washington Post; Steven Tyler for entertainment because he and Aerosmith are from Boston; and George and Bea Aprea, my parents. What are you currently reading? I like to read the Images of America
Books, which chronicle the history of small towns and bridges across the country. I just finished reading “The Bay Bridge,” and I am now starting on “Building the Blue Ridge Parkway.” What is it that you most dislike? The seven evils in Pandora’s box. (Editor’s note: These would be pride, avarice [greed], envy, wrath, lust, gluttony and sloth.) What is your most-prized possession? I have two prized possessions. One is a Certificate of Achievement for crossing over the Grand Canyon Skywalk. The skywalk is just plates of glass suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River and I was one of the first visitors to cross over it when it opened to the public. I was able to stop in the middle of it to view Eagle Point. It was one of those moments that take your breath away and I got the certificate for completing the crossover. The second one is most precious to me because it outlived my dad. My father made a reindeer about a foot tall out of bark, sticks and twigs. It is about 40 years old now and has survived numerous relocations, but it is very fragile. That reindeer is a tangible memory of him that I

Let’s Review WILL BOWEN
‘Faraway Places and Faces’ put association on the map
A
recent show at the La Jolla Art Association (LJAA) was a collection of oils, watercolor, photography and jewelry made by artists of different ethnicities who’ve come to our fair city to share in our blessings. Through it, you could view a little of the art from around the world and see just how diverse we really are. “La Jolla Art Association is a multicultural organization committed to the celebration of the diversity of the human spirit,” said vice president JudyJudyJudy. “This show, ‘Faraway Places and Faces,’ honors our members who came here from different countries and cultures or who have chosen alternative pathways to daily living.” Deborah Ramos is a special education teacher at Grossmont High School during the day and an artist on weekends. Prior to
her teaching career, she worked in the costume department at the Old Globe Theater. She submitted a mixed-media painting with an ancient Egyptian theme. It shows a woman offering a drum and love poem to the gods. The long poem incorporated into the painting is written in hieroglyphics, which Ramos taught herself to write. To further enhance her painting, Ramos recycled some skin that “Merg,” her fivefoot python, recently shed, attaching it to her painting with painter’s gel. “My painting actually started as a spoof of Matisse but morphed into a goddessoffering piece. I included a drum because Egyptian women played the hoop drum and I was once a member of a woman’s drum circle.” Ramos also has a small Native Americanthemed piece in the show, a tribute to the

horse, which Plains Indians called “Sky Dogs,” believing horses were a gift from the Great Spirit. In actuality, the wild horses that the Plains Indians domesticated were the descendents of horses that escaped from the Spanish Leatherjacket soldiers who came up from Mexico and established presidios across the Southwest in the 1700s. Because of the horse, the Plains Indians were able to establish a buffalo hunting culture of high achievement. Artist Naren Doshi, who is of Indian ancestry, is a new LJAA member. His ancestors came from the British-named city of Bombay, which is now called Mumbai — its original Indian name. Doshi submitted three delightfully brilliant watercolors to the show. He said he has only been painting for two years, but in that short time has made great progress because he completes at least one painting a day. As a young man, Doshi received a western medical education and ended up an OB/GYN, practicing in Pittsburg for 35 years. Seven years ago, he retired and moved to La Jolla to be near his son who lives in Del Mar. Doshi is a practicing Jain, a vegetarian who likes hatha yoga and meditates every
day. “I just love it here. I love the people and the climate! I’ve made so many paintings since I started two years ago that I don’t know what to do with them, so, I joined the LJAA to show them, hoping someone might be interested in them.” Photographer Ron Komen, a practitioner of Theravada Buddhism, was born in Bangkok and came to the United States to study electrical engineering at the University of Missouri at Columbia. He worked in that capacity for the City of San Diego for some 20 years and now lives on the rocky shores of Bird Rock at Hermosa Park. Komen likes to take his camera on world photo expeditions. He submitted four images from his travels. Two are portraits of women of the Long-Necked Karen people of Northern Thailand, and two came from his travels in India. “Photography is the most effective media for building understanding between people,” Komen said. “I like to show how people live and what they feel to facilitate our understanding of them.” Other interesting items in the show included a painting of a young black girl by African-American artist Michelle Jackson, and a series of women from other

Music Society marks 45th season with two moving events By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt La Jolla Music Society, now celebrating its 45th anniversary season, can trace its roots back to 1941, when the Musical Arts Society of La Jolla was founded by Nikolai Sokoloff, a former conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra. Aided by music-minded La Jollans like Ellen and Roger Revelle, the Society commissioned 20 new works in the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s, presenting them in the auditorium at La Jolla High School. In 1968, the organization morphed into the La Jolla Chamber Orchestra, and then the La Jolla Chamber Music Society. Year after year, they kept growing, building a reputation for presenting high-quality concerts with renowned musicians like YoYo Ma, who will be back again March 12 as part of the 2014 Celebrity Recital Series. Under its current name, La Jolla Music Society has spread its reach wider, offering performances in larger venues beyond La Jolla, adding jazz and cabaret to their musical spectrum, and including international dance companies as well. Two of these troupes will be displaying their disparate styles over the next month: New York’s Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet on Feb. 15 at the Spreckels Theatre, and Japan’s Siro-A on March 9 at the Balboa Theatre. n Cedar Lake, hailed by the New York Times as “the country’s most innovative contemporary ballet troupe,� is known for commissioning new works that explore the wilder regions of movement and multimedia.

T
ying first place on the A-(phrodisiac) List, knocking the lowly oyster (loaded with mercury, cadmium and PCB’s) out of the running, and neck-andneck with bittersweet chocolate is the divine, heart-healthy, nutrient-dense almond. Here are this beaut’s sexy little secrets to help revv up your sweetie’s engine for Valentine’s Day and always. Kudos to the seductive little seed with its sensual shape and heady aroma that has been arousing passion since Biblical times, being one of the earliest cultivated foods. Samson pursued Delilah with almond branches, and although he picked the wrong girl, this ill-fated romance did not tarnish almonds’ reputation as a love charm or symbol. Ancient Romans showered newlyweds with the elliptical nut as a token of fertility. The aromatic almond has been praised by scribes throughout history, including Nefzawi, the 13th century author of “The Perfumed Garden of Sensual Delight,” who prescribed 20 almonds and 100 grains of pine tree blended with a viscous glassful of honey as a bedtime love tonic to boost sexual energy. Almond’s aphrodisiac appeal stems from the mother lode of heart-protective, fertility enhancing Vitamin E and zinc, along with phosphorous and dietary fiber for a euphoric sense of well-being. As an added boon, almonds contain the monounsaturated “friendly” fats; phytonutrients like magnesium and calcium for strong bones; the same antiinflammatory resveratrol found in red wine; antioxidants; cancer-preventive alpha-tocopherol; and provide a protein and Vitamin B powerhouse to endow one with an oomph of vitality on V-Day.
This super food has also been found to put the skids on hangover symptoms if a handful is eaten before imbibing (and that’s always a plus for passion). For your special honey on Feb. 14 whip up some delightful almond dishes throughout the day. n For a flirtatious breakfast or brunch, serve a frothy almond mango smoothie or frozen mocha almond shake, almond ginger pear scones, honey almond cream with fresh berries or almond lavender crème brûlée French toast. n For a playful lunch, make heart-shaped almond butter and jelly sandwiches, an almond jade shrimp stir fry, Greek spinach and almond salad or a bowl of refreshing muscatel grape and almond gazpacho. n Plan a seductive dinner with almondcrusted baked salmon and a side of Portobello mushrooms stuffed with toasted almonds, quinoa and pomegranate seeds, or pounded chicken breasts rolled and filled with ground almonds, lemon zest and mascarpone cheese. n Snack on them straight up, raw or roasted, sweet or savory dressed with sun-dried tomatoes and Italian herbs, cumin and lime, honey glazed with sea salt or au natural. n Dip warm pita bread into exotic almond dukkah (a Moroccan blend of nuts, herbs and spices). n For blissful desserts, tease the palate with heart-healthy dark chocolate almond brownies with 60 percent or more cocoa content, amaretto and roasted almond cheesecake or cranberry almond biscotti with a nice dollop of almond gelato. u — For additional romantic recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

society if they are only given the chance.” The cooperatives range in size from approximately 40 to 4,000 members. Although the Bolivian cooperative is on the smaller side, with 45 women from the indigenous Ayoreo tribe, it is making a big impact on the environment by planting and harvesting a strong bromeliad plant from which the women weave and dye fiber bags.

On a personal level, the cooperatives help women recover from the violence of war and domestic abuse, displacement, extreme poverty and having to live invisibly; without a voice. On a family level, the women are earning money, many from home.

In addition to passing down traditional weaving methods, the women incorporate modern digital cameras and computer design tools.

The Empowering Women exhibit was created by the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2010 and has also displayed in Pittsburg and Seattle. After closing on Aug. 18, it will move on to Carlsbad, New Mexico. According to Carlson, the exhibit
“brings people together and leaves them talking even as they walk out of our museum. They feel a deeper link to each other and even to these women artisans who come from so far away, and they share their own experiences with each other.” The museum’s CEO Micah Parzen agreed. “This exhibit is a natural fit for our new mission of ‘inspiring human connections by exploring the human experience’ because it does just that. In the first few days of the exhibit we’ve already had a wonderful response from visitors who read the stories of the amazing artisans featured in the exhibit, and then feel a connection. They have similar values and similar dreams, and the same desire to improve their worlds,” Parzen said. u

bout to mark his 90th year, La Jollan Edward Hujsak — career rocket engineer turned artist, sculptor, poet, builder of fine furniture, musical instruments, and toys for children in need (he was propulsion engineer on John Glenn’s famous orbital flight) — just released his eighth book, “The Year of the Daisy and Other Love Poems,” illustrated by his niece’s daughter, Elizabeth Zaikowski.

Year of the Daisy By Edward Hujsak
Chaucer may have invented Valentine’s Day. True. The medieval English poet Geoffrey Chaucer often took liberties with history, placing his poetic characters into fictitious historical contexts that he represented as real. No record exists of romantic celebrations on Valentine’s Day prior to a poem Chaucer wrote in 1375. In “Parliament of Foules,” he links a tradition of courtly love with the celebration of St. Valentine’s feast day — an association that didn’t exist until after his poem received widespread attention. The poem refers to Feb. 14 as the day birds (and humans) come together to find a mate. When Chaucer wrote, “For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne’s day / Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate,” he may have invented the holiday we know today. u — history.com
That was the year that daisies All decided to perform flawlessly To help humanity along its faltering way. Every one, its petals plucked To rhythmic chants: She loves me, she loves me not, Would tell you that he loves you. It was her favorite flower, you know. Garlands framed the altar Where we said our last good byes. Now this lavender bloom, Lifted from the roadside, Has graced my table for a week. Drawn into its lonely self at night, It flares to fullness at daybreak, Atop a dime store Ming inspired Thin-stem porcelain vase. I pluck its petals one by one. She love me, she loves me not. She loves me, she loves me not. ……….. She loves me.

Author finds ‘art’ paper is more than just origami Anthropologist and longtime La Jollan Marianne Burkenroad recently selfpublished a book about the history and cultural uses of paper. Though available at amazon.com, the 95-yearold author also plans to host a book signing to sell and promote “The History and Artistic Uses of Paper.” Several years ago, Burkenroad purchased some paper flowers from a street market and asked how they were made. The vendor replied “papel chino” (Chinese paper), which peaked her curiosity. “How is ‘Chinese paper’ any different from any other paper?” she wondered. She explored art from countries like China, Korea, Russia and Mexico, studying different uses. “The History and Artistic Uses of Paper” will be available at the downtown central library and Mingei Museum in Balboa Park.

ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. 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, this information can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales & Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting & Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www. priorityposting.com (Click on the link for “Advanced Search” to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1-800-280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. P1081351 2/6, 2/13, 02/20/2014.

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 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.

Joan Schultz named best in client satisfaction
Berkshire Hathaway adds Stella Ling to legal team
For the sixth consecutive year, Joan Schultz of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties has been voted a recipient of San Diego Magazine’s “Five Star: Best in Client Satisfaction Real Estate Agents” award. The award is the result of a survey, in which more than 31,000 recent home-buyers, subscribers and industry experts were asked to identify the county’s leading real estate agents. Agents were rated on a variety of factors, including client service, communication, integrity, negotiation, market knowledge and closing preparation. Less than 4 percent of San Diego’s 12,000 real estate agents earned the award. A graduate of the University of San Diego, Schultz got her start in real estate when she was just a teenager working for her father and grandfather, who were land developers in New York. During the past 32 years, she has continually been awarded for her sales production and Joan Schultz commitment to volunteer work.
