By Pat Sherman In a move many are calling unnecessary and heavy-handed (but suddenly maybe not) San Diego Police officers began patrolling Children’s Pool beach Feb. 12 to “keep the peace” between those who want the shores reserved for seals, and those who want either shared use between seals, swimmers, divers and fishermen or prefer the seal
colony be coaxed elsewhere. Lt. Larry Hesselgesser with San Diego Police’s Northern Division, who monitored the beach with a park ranger Feb. 14, said police experienced no problems during their first week of surveillance, other than tourists getting too close to seals. But a distressing incident over the weekend has forced police and the public to reassess the contentious
A new sign posted at Children’s Pool beach by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration asks visitors to remain at least 50 feet away from the seals at all times. situation at the Children’s Pool with perhaps greater support for the police presence. Larry Wan, founder and chairman of the Western Alliance for Nature, which oversees the new real-time, infrared “seal cam” installed at Children’s Pool beach Jan. 24, released video segments from the live fed that were recorded on an iPhone by a viewer in Australia.
They show two young women harassing pregnant and nursing seals Thursday night by “sitting on them, pulling their flippers, kicking them, flashing lights in their faces — until each and every one of them is driven off the beach,” said Wan. In the heartbreaking video, one woman is photographing the other during the altercation. SEE CHILDREN’S POOL, A6
Bird Rock residents brace for some noisy nights ahead By Ashley Mackin The lighted crosswalks on La Jolla Boulevard will get muchneeded repairs beginning Feb. 25, but not all residents are happy with the plans since construction will start at 9 p.m. each day. That’s some very noisy construction going on all through the night, which has some residents concerned about their ability to sleep. Notices distributed throughout the neighborhood indicate workers will be trenching and installing new crosswalks from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. at the roundabouts on La Jolla Boulevard at Colima and Midway streets, through April 5. The scope of work involved includes replacing crumbling pavement, trenching, relocating some lights and installing new electrical wiring. Detours will be established during See NOISY NIGHTS, A6

Bird Rock council outlines maintenance district fixes for 2013 By Pat Sherman During its Feb. 5 meeting, the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) discussed items within its maintenance assessment district (MAD) still in need of repair. Treasurer Barbara Dunbar referenced a quarterly city inspection of Bird Rock’s MAD, conducted last month, that included streets and areas on the periphery of La Jolla Boulevard (the other three city inspections usually take place on La Jolla Boulevard). Dunbar said the city largely gave the MAD a favorable report though inspectors cited things such as plants lost during a recent cold spell (which are scheduled for replacement) and a “very sickly looking Torrey pine tree” in the roundabout at Chelsea Street and Sea Ridge Drive, which is scheduled for removal. “There have been lawsuits threatened because it actually should never have been put in,” she said. “It blocks the view corridor and (has) not done well.” Though a dedication ceremony was held Jan. 13 for nine new median streetlights on La Jolla Boulevard, four remain inoperable. Dunbar said BRCC is working with the city, the light manufacturer and the company that installed them to rectify the situation.

“I know people have noticed it and are not happy with it,” she said. “We are not happy either.” Dunbar said shabby landscape areas in the 5400 block of La Jolla Boulevard, between Midway and Colima streets, are being replanted, though winter weather has made it difficult for the plants to take hold. “There have also been some problems caused by vehicles driving over or through the planting areas and destroying plants (and) wrecking the irrigation system,” she said. “It’s pretty shocking how many sprinkler heads are broken off.” To report damage in the MAD area, contact BRCC at info@birdrock.org or post a note on its new Facebook page at on.fb.me/XaAaZ7 Long-delayed repairs to faulty crosswalk lights near the roundabouts on La Jolla Boulevard at Colima and Midway streets will begin Monday, Feb. 25, between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. The nighttime construction is scheduled for completion by April 5.
County Assessor-Recorder-Clerk Ernie Dronenburg gives a guest presentation during Bird Rock Community Council’s Feb. 5 meeting. Photos by Pat Sherman “They have to totally replace the entire system and it’s going to involve digging up the street; there is no easy, quick fix to it,” Dunbar said. “The original design was not good. Traffic basically destroyed those sensors … right-off-the-bat.” Residents with questions or concerns about the project should contact SIEMENS Industry’s 24hour contact, Tim Kosman, at (619) 562-1104 or the city’s Neighborhood Code Compliance line 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at (619) 236-5500.

said the school’s recent e-waste recycling event raised $3,500 for capital improvement projects at the school. About 60 percent of those dropping off used electronics were not BRE parents, she said. Those who didn’t get a chance to participate can drop off old TVs, microwaves, cameras and computer equipment at the BRE campus, 5371 La Jolla Hermosa Ave., or at the next BRCC meeting, March 5 at a location to be determined.

FROM Bird Rock, A4 20 percent are members — down from previous estimates of 25 percent. The membership year runs Oct. 1-Sept. 30, and residents and businesses can join at any time. “We’re trying to encourage online membership as opposed to mailing it in,” BRCC President Jacqueline Bell said, though noting memberships can still be mailed in. “It just makes it a little bit more efficient.” n New police lieutenant Northern Division’s new police lieutenant, Tom Underwood, was introduced during the meeting. It was also noted that San Diego Police officer Larry Hesselgesser will be replacing Omar Sinclair as community relations liaison in a month. Underwood said SDPD’s paucity of personnel is to blame for the increase in staff turnover at Northern Division. “I think right now department-wide, we’re down about 10 or 11 lieutenants, which means they’ve got to find bodies where they can and fill spots,” he said. Underwood added that Northern Division has received a rash of calls complaining of spurious solicitors at people’s doorsteps. One BRCC member noted a recent incident in Bird Rock in which a person claimed to be raising money for La Jolla High School students travelling to Washington, D.C. — though no such trip is planned. The person offered a phony, three-digit address on Beaumont Avenue, though the addresses on the street all have four digits. When questioned, the would-be solicitor reportedly grew aggressive. Police advise residents not to open their doors for solicitors, regardless of the time of day. Reports of such activity should be made to SDPD at (619) 531-2000. Callers should get an incident number, which they can report to BRCC for a follow-up. The public may also phone Sinclair or Hesselgesser at (858) 552-1631. n Speaker on taxes County Assessor-Recorder-Clerk Ernie

Dysport This Torrey pine tree in the roundabout at Chelsea Street and Sea Ridge Drive is blocking a view corridor and scheduled for removal. Pat Sherman Dronenburg was the meeting’s guest speaker. A longtime tax expert, Dronenburg helped craft Proposition 13, which in 1978 put a cap on the rate at which the state may increase property taxes. One BRCC member asked how much of local property taxes are used for schools. “Sacramento makes all the decisions,” Dronenburg said. “All the property taxes go to Sacramento and then they’re divided up. In San Diego County, the county itself gets about 8 percent of the property tax dollars and the cities each get a percent. The school districts get about 15 to 20 percent.” When a property owner appeals his or her assessed value for a potential tax reduction, Dronenburg said they are not penalized if the value turns out to be higher than its original assessment. “We would say, no, we believe your property value is correct,” Dronenburg said. “We’re not in the business of raising taxes.”

But the stated six weeks of night construction is a worst-case scenario, Lasaga said, adding actual construction time would likely be less. “The contractor was covering all his bases, he put (a six-week timeline out) just in case, because weather conditions can change. So this is almost a worst-case scenario of how long it will take and we’re trying to work on a more probable schedule,” Lasaga said. That detailed schedule is exactly what some residents want, including Vivian Fong, who lives in the apartment complex on La Jolla Boulevard at Colima Street. “The main concern right now is that we need to know
FROM CHILDREN’S POOL, A1 No arrests have been made in the incident. The video can be viewed at www.bit.ly/sealcamvideo Wan said the new “seal cam,” on average, gets more than 1,000 viewers everyday from as far away as Russia and Iran. Police said they are at Children’s Pool beach to make sure humans respect the informational signage and the guideline rope installed along the shore to help separate them from the seals during the seals’ pupping season, now through May 15. The National Marine Fisheries Service (which enforces the Marine Mammal Protection Act) recommends that people remain at least 50 feet away from the seals. Northern Division Police Captain Brian Ahearn said police would monitor the beach, one officer at a time, for about two weeks — though they could stay longer if officers determine there is a need. Ahearn said the officers would be there from the morning into the night to assure public safety and cite or arrest people who break laws, such as spitting on another person (a battery charge) or making criminal threats. “There’s laws on the books for the protection of the animals as well,” Ahearn said, “officers have the discretion to enforce the law.” He explained that the police department decided to place an officer at Children’s Pool due to a recent increase in

more about the plan as far as construction,” she said. “Ideally, all of the really loud jackhammering would take place before 11 p.m., before most people go to sleep.” She added traffic slows down around 7 p.m. Across the street from Fong’s residence is the Sands of La Jolla Hotel, where employee Jason Nazarro echoed her concerns. “I’m pretty sure there will be an impact, but I’m not sure what we can do,” he said. “The last time (there was construction), it was very difficult for people staying in the area and a lot of people were upset. … This time, I’m sure we will lose business.” Fong said she contacted Bird Rock
reported incidents of bullying and intimidation between seal advocates and beach access proponents. “Some people I think were fearful that it was going to escalate into physical violence against each other or the seals,” Ahearn said. “It’s a good time to make sure people understand that we’re not going to tolerate any kind of violent crime. We do this throughout other parts of the city to try to prevent an escalation.” Though the conflagration at Children’s Pool has raged for at least a decade, Ahearn said he believes the recent spike in complaints is due to the installation of the web camera atop the condemned lifeguard tower, installed ostensibly so the international public can watch live seal births around the clock. Though one officer told the Light that the police presence was ordered by Mayor Filner, Ahearn maintained that it was a decision made by San Diego Police. “I know with the new mayor there is a renewed emphasis on the Children’s Pool (activities), but I haven’t been ordered by the mayor to do this,” Ahearn said. “This is something the police department decided was the right thing to do … at the right time. I’m going to continue to deploy my officers out there and ultimately make a determination as to whether we’re still needed.” A request for comment from the mayor’s office was not returned by press time, though during a press conference unveiling the webcam Filner said, “If we have somebody

Community Council president Jacqueline Bell and learned the construction is part of a four-year improvement project the city has been working on to fix the crosswalks. To do so, the city has to assign permits to override the San Diego Noise Ordinance, which prohibits construction noise after 7 p.m., temporarily. Once those permits are finalized, a more accurate repair schedule will be distributed to Bird Rock residents. “If the community wants to have us consider an alternate time earlier in the evening to begin some of that ‘night work,’ we’re definitely open to that,” Lasaga said. There will be city contact information listed.
here, whether it’s a ranger or a police officer all the time until we settle this, that should be enforcement enough.” La Jolla resident Suzanne Penn said she ultimately believes the beach is too polluted for use by humans — including her own young son — and should be reserved for seals. However, given the installation of the webcam, Penn said the police presence is “a little bit much.” Nancy Doyel, an educator visiting from Washington, also said the officer “seems like overkill. “I wouldn’t want that much surveillance,” she said. “It’s almost like big brother-ish with the cameras and police.” Using binoculars to follow a school of yellowtail (or “big yellows” as he calls them), diver, surfer and spear-fisherman Andy Smith said he recognizes both the need to protect the seals and citizens’ legal right to access the beach. “There’s a lot of idiots out there,” he said. “I mean, have some compassion. When there’s a female seal on the beach having a baby, you want to give it a little space because she’s going to freak out. That’s not rocket science.” However, Smith said he thinks having a police officer stationed at Children’s Pool is “a waste of the taxpayers’ money. “There’s a lifeguard station right there,” he said. “Although it’s a distraction to have them dealing with altercations here, they’re badge-carrying guys. I think the police officer can use his time better. Go catch a rapist or murderer — whatever — rather than sit here for god’s sakes.”

Shores Association OKs street pipeline replacements By Ashley Mackin Three presentations dominated the Feb. 13 La Jolla Shores Association meeting: upcoming pipeline replacements, parking near UCSD and an update from District 1 Councilmember Sherri Lightner’s office. Pipeline replacements Formerly two separate projects — the Avenida De La Playa Infrastructure Replacement and Sewer and Water Group Project 809 — were bundled to be one project with one contractor, per an 8-0-1 Shores Association vote. Several streets in the Shores neighborhood to the north and east of the Beach and Bay Tennis Club will have sewer, water and storm drain pipes replaced, said Project Manager Akram Bassyouni. He said the city has been meeting with merchants, advisory committees and planning groups to finalize the details. Pending approval from the Environmental Protection Agency (the final approval required), construction will begin in September and last for 12 to 14 months, with a pause in the summer moratorium from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It was recommended that work crews not park directly in front of businesses to allow more spots for residents and visitors. For the larger streets, one lane will remain open to traffic at all times. When Avenida De La Playa is under construction, it will be closed one block at a time and the last two blocks will be closed off and detours will be provided.
Project manager Akram Bassyouni presents the pipeline replacement plans at the La Jolla Shores Association meeting. Ashley Mackin Board member Terry Winn-Kraszewski commented, “That was something we stressed ... that no businesses would be impacted and no street would be completely closed, there will always be traffic.” For many of these pipes, the San Diego Public Works Department is implementing a trenchless system, which is typically less expensive and means less construction workers. But Bassyouni said “trenchless” does not mean no trenches whatsoever, as some pipes need to be completely replaced. Public works information officer Bill Harris explained the trenchless system. He said for pipes that still have some integrity and minor thinning of the seams, “You can insert what amounts to a balloon and …
there is an adhesive and sealant that goes around it and you inflate in place,” he said. “It offers a way to keep the pipe integrity and builds a strong extra layer and it opens that pipe up and you get more life out of it without having to get into the ground along the entire length of the pipe.” Harris said in using this method, the street opening would be much smaller than traditional construction and add 50 years to the life of the pipe. Board member Mary Coakley-Munk said, “The city really has made a huge effort to work with the community and the merchants on this project … we hope that it will go smoothly.” Parking near UCSD UC San Diego spokesperson Anu Delouri provided an update on the developing $35 million Venter Institute (at Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Village Drive) which should be completed in October. Though the complex will have underground parking, the board was unhappy with its entry and exit being on Torrey Pines Road. Calling this proposal “suicidal” and “unworkable,” board member Janie Emerson said, “There was a huge discussion here and (we) said that that was not acceptable and they needed to enter off of (Downwind Way) … and they changed it after they made the agreement with us.” To the traffic study conducted by the city that Delouri was ready to reference, Emerson
said, “that doesn’t mean squat.” Other parking matters Board member John Kassar said the Community Planning Association (CPA) was going to discuss a proposal to make Glenwick Place and Glenwick Lane a twohour parking zone. The Traffic and Transportation Board approved the proposal in January, but a group of students opposing the project went to the CPA, which agreed to address the proposal in coming months. Updates from District 1 Erin Demorest, representative for Councilmember Sherri Lightner’s office said a revised Environmental Impact Report for the proposed Hillel project is being circulated, with comments due March 11. She also said Lightner is working with engineers to find a good place for new showers at the Shores. One of the hurdles is finding a place where a roof could be installed without disrupting the view. A roof is required to facilitate rain going into the storm drain and not the sewer system. The city requires this because it would waste too much energy to pump rainwater with sewer water. Next agenda The La Jolla Shores Association will meet at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 13 at MartinJohnson House at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography for the election of new officers.

Three notable Dunemere residences being remodeled n Mitt Romney and
neighbors prepare home renovations
By Pat Sherman With the election behind him, former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is again moving forward with plans to remodel his home at 311 Dunemere Drive in La Jolla’s Beach Barber Tact. Romney spokesperson and attorney Matt Peterson said the Secret Service, which offered Romney and his immediate family protection during the election, would have required changes to
the home had Romney become president — which is one reason the plans were put on hold. “It’s been a very long a painful process (that was) put on hold while he was running,” Peterson said. The city is in the process of finalizing its review of environmental documents on the project. Following that, the project will head to hearing officer for city approval, which could take as long as a month. The process of obtaining a coastal development permit will take another five to six months, Peterson said. Demolition of the existing structure would
begin shortly after that. Peterson said there have been no changes to remodel plans unanimously approved by the La Jolla Community Planning Association and Development Permit Review committee. The project still includes a car lift requested by neighbors to accommodate Romney’s automobiles and maintain current street parking levels. “It’s exactly what was approved by the community,” Peterson said, noting that the city asked Romney if he would dedicate a beach access easement adjacent his home so that it becomes public land.
Peterson said Mitt and wife, Ann, plan to retain permanent residency in Massachusetts and reside in La Jolla less than six months of the year. “He is certainly going to be out here quite a bit with his family,” Peterson said, noting that two of Romney’s sons live in San Diego County. Though the new home will be substantially larger than the existing 3,000-square-
foot home, Peterson said the second story would be “relatively small,” and that majority of the house would be “well below the 30-foot height limit.” A large percentage of the home’s square footage would be a basement that is below grade level, he said. The proposed main story is 4,488 square feet and the second story is 1,790 square feet. A 50 percent remodel is

currently underway at a home adjacent to the Romney residence at 310 Dunemere Drive. A remodel of the home once belonging to actor Cliff Robertson (aka “Casa De La Paz”) also is underway at 331 Dunemere Drive. Robertson purchased the estate in 1963, completing a restoration by famed architect Thomas L. Shepard shortly afterward.

Study finds working alone won’t get you good grades
Research Report By LynnE Friedmann
S
tudents who work together and interact online are more likely to be successful in their college classes, according to a study by a computer scientist at the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego. Analyzing 80,000 interactions between 290 students in a collaborative learning environment for college courses, the major finding was that a higher number of online interactions was usually an indicator of a higher score in the class. High achievers also were more likely to form strong connections with other students and to exchange information in more complex ways.
High achievers also tended to form cliques — often within the first days of the course — shutting out lowperforming students from their interactions. Students who found themselves shut out were not only more likely to have lower grades; they were also more likely to drop out of the class entirely. The findings appear in the journal Nature Scientific Reports. More information at http://bit.ly/UGJyTv FDA approves first bionic eye The U.S. Department of Energy announced that its decade-long support of revolutionary research has contributed to the creation of the first ever retinal prosthesis — or bionic eye — to be approved in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for blind individuals with end-stage retinitis pigmentosa. The artificial retina, dubbed the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System, can partially restore the sight of blind individuals after surgical implantation.
Clinical trials demonstrated that totally blind individuals could safely use the device to successfully identify the position and approximate size of objects and detect movement of nearby objects and people. The Argus II operates by using a miniature camera mounted in eyeglasses that captures images and wirelessly sends the information to a microprocessor (worn on a belt) that converts the data to an electronic signal and transmits it to a receiver on the eye. The pulses travel to the optic nerve and, ultimately, to the brain, which perceives patterns of light and dark spots corresponding to the electrodes stimulated. Blind individuals can learn to interpret these visual patterns. News release at http://1. usa.gov/XFK8BS Students develop coastal monitoring app A team of engineering students at UCSD has been working to help protect the beaches and waters off the La Jolla coastline by
Price reduced to $2,190,000 Open Sunday 1-4pm
developing a web app that will allow volunteers to monitor the health of marine conservation areas. Volunteers will input information about human activity, pollution and even poaching, into the app via an interactive form. The student team is part of Global TIES, a humanitarian engineering program at the Jacobs School of Engineering that allows undergraduates to work on ambitious projects with nonprofit organizations and government agencies throughout the world and locally. In this project students are working in partnership with San Diego Coastkeeper, an organization dedicated to protecting and restoring fishable, swimmable and drinkable waters in San Diego County. More information at http:// bit.ly/YtI0Kk Tiny plant yields a big discovery Conducting research on a plant from the mustard family, Salk Institute scientists have discovered a possible explanation for how organisms, including humans, directly regulate chemical reactions that quickly adjust the growth of organs. These findings overturn conventional views of how different body parts coordinate their growth.
Until now, it was believed that each metabolic function involved in events ranging from birth to growth to reproduction to digestion, etc. required an entirely separate enzyme pathway. This led researchers to focus studies almost exclusively on genes switching “on and off” as the means by which each step in the enzyme pathway was regulated. The Salk study shows that metabolic steps can be much more streamlined and linked. For example, two separate pathways originally thought to be controlled solely by gene switches were unexpectedly found to have enzyme canals between them, allowing them to quickly share hormones manufactured elsewhere in in the body in response to changes in environment and quickly alter growth in other parts of the body. The findings appear in Nature Chemical Biology. News release at http://bit.ly/ XMpGgq Urban heat has climate effects Heat produced in winter months by everyday activities in metropolitan areas is significant enough to influence the jet stream and other major atmospheric systems,
thousands of miles away. Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD, studied energy consumption — from heating buildings to powering vehicles — that, in turn, releases waste heat. The result is a so-called “urban heat island” effect; an increase in the warmth of cities compared to unpopulated areas. Because many urban heat islands in the Northern Hemisphere lie directly under major atmospheric troughs and jet streams, the effect can widen the jet stream and strengthen atmospheric flows at mid-latitudes. The authors contend that the urban heat effect accounts for the discrepancy between observed warming and winter warming simulated in the models used by the climate science community for analysis and prediction of climate. They suggest, therefore, that the influence of energy consumption be added as a variable, along with heattrapping gases and aerosols, computer models of climate change. The study appears in the journal Nature Climate Change. News release at http://bit.ly/112L8mM Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

Visit H. Moradi for pre-owned and trend-setting fine jewelry By Marti Gacioch Yellow gold is back in style, said Pauline Beausoleil, co-owner of H. Moradi, La Jolla’s go-to jewelers for fine and estate pieces since 1999. Beausoleil, who recently returned from Miami’s annual convention for antique and estate jewelry vendors, is now showcasing a superb collection of one-of-a-kind pieces in precious metals. “Yellow gold is really popular right now; we saw a lot of chunky gold bracelets, some with colored stones, as well as pieces that were a mix of yellow gold, white gold and platinum,” Beausoleil said. “We’re now offering some very eclectic pieces.” Beausoleil finds that long gold necklaces (measuring 16-48 inches) are also trendsetters in the world of jewelry. “We have long diamond necklaces that are a mix of metals and a mix of colors like yellow diamonds, brown diamonds and white diamonds,” Beausoleil said. Many of Moradi’s recent purchases are colorful stand-outs, such as a yellow and pink diamond cage

another eye-catching necklace. “These are very large golden pearls of 13 to 16 millimeters on a 17inch necklace,” “Beausoleil said. Moradi is also featuring a
platinum pavé diamond ring with an oval diamond center stone by Henry Dunay, a former designer for Cartier, and a pre-owned platinum and fancy yellow gold marquis diamond pendant by Michael Beaudry. “The Diamond is 1.45-carat, and there are white diamonds surrounding it; it comes on a beautiful diamond chain,” Beausoleil said. Moradi is well- known for its collection of colorful animal pins, too. “We have a yellow gold tortoise pin with shells of peach and green enameling, and the tortoise is holding a bouquet of flowers made from rubies,” Beausoleil said.

OPINION

Police at Children’s Pool will hopefully ease tensions
“A
w come on,” we thought to ourselves last week when we first heard that full-time police presence was ordered at the Children’s Pool beach. “Police officers AND park rangers?! What’s next? Drones?” But then we watched the sad and shameful video of two young women in the dark of night cruelly harassing the pregnant seals and their pups last Thursday, and we had second thoughts. Enough. Something’s got to be done to end all this madness. If it takes the watchful eyes of police officers on the scene, then so be it. The disturbing video, which you can view for yourself at www.bit.ly/sealcamvideo, was passed along by Larry and Sara Wan, founders of the Western Alliance for Nature (WAN), the nonprofit nature conservancy behind the newly
Museum of Man exhibit tasteless and disturbing Balboa Park has been getting a lot of press lately as our showcase for America’s Finest City with a lot of talk of solutions for which there is no problem. One glaring black-eye for our community is the Museum of Man’s on going “Instruments of Torture,” which has been running for several years now. Do we really need to glorify the very lowest of man’s inhumanity to man? Do children need to see instruments of torture? This is the stuff of nightmares! I can’t think of anything less worthy of being on display than depictions of people being boiled alive, burned at the stake, stretched on the rack and God knows what else. Perhaps we could entertain tourists with an electric chair hooked up to a car battery or mock executions for some really good fun. If this disgusting crap is still up for the centennial celebration, God help us! Mark Anderson La Jolla Editor’s Note: We asked San Diego Museum of Man CEO Micah Parzen for his response to this letter, presented below: Torture is such a difficult topic precisely because it is such an important one. The San Diego Museum of Man opened the “Instruments of Torture” exhibit eight months ago (with a strong advisory for parents with children under age 13) because we believe it is not a subject we can afford to sweep under the rug in this day and age. We wanted people to better understand the psychology of torture, its complex history, and to remember that torture is not just a relic of the past. We partnered with Survivors of Torture International, an organization that helps victims of torture (11,000 in San Diego County alone), as well as with the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice, and the International Legal Studies Program at California Western School of Law. These organizations believe, as we do, that it is important to give testimony to the atrocities of the past, to spread the word that torture still occurs, and to explain what each of us can do to stop it. It is through our remembering that we honor the suffering of others. Despite the challenging subject matter, we invite you to do the same. Tour the exhibit. Speak to our gallery guides. You will learn not only where our capacity to torture comes from, but also how each and every one of us can make a difference as “upstanders” — by

Climate issue requires impartial coverage Stephen Roberts’s Feb. 7 letter accuses Barbara Decker of not using facts or reliable sources in her request for more balanced coverage on climate change (Jan. 31). He then proceeds to make untruthful statements by saying, “the facts themselves are simply what they are and come from measured data (when it comes to man-made global warming), not opinion” and refers readers to two of the most biased news sources out there — National Public Radio and the National Academy of Sciences. The reality is there just no consensus when it comes to causes of climate change as a large number of respected scientists (well over 1,000) have gone against the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s position that man is causing the planet to warm and the debate is far from settled. Some even think we’ve been cooling since 1998 and that solar activity and volcanic eruptions affect the climate much than man ever could. All we can really agree on is that the climate is changing just as it has since the Earth was born and policies to reduce CO2 have a tremendously negative impact on economic growth. This should force us to take a giant pause before enacting potentially disastrous legislation, especially ones put forth by groups that benefit the most from huge increases in government growth and spending. I also welcome a more balanced approach and appreciate Miss Decker calling on the La Jolla Light to join this effort. Tricia Butler La Jolla

is not recording the activities down at Children’s Pool, merely broadcasting them live. The distressing video was supplied to WAN by a viewer in Australia who used her iPhone to record the harassment episodes, which she then sent to WAN. WAN released it to the media. “Those girls came down to the beach twice that night, around 8-8:30 p.m. and then later around 11 or midnight. They drove all the seals off the beach,” Sara Wan said. If the world is truly watching the mesmerizing marine movements down at La Jolla Children’s Pool — and it sure appears that it is (Larry Wan said the “seal cam” gets more than 1,000 viewers everyday from as far away as Russia and Iran) — we better be on our best behavior.

Seal lovers must cease their intimidation tactics My children and I were born here and love to show the city to my visiting family. However, we had a terrible experience at the Children’s Pool this past Saturday at noon. We were not bothering any seals, we were on the ocean side of the rope at the far west wall far away from seals. A middle-aged woman walked down the steps and across the sand to tell us we would be reported. She took out a cell phone and made a call, saying we would be cited, etc. What? My friend started crying and shaking, we were so intimidated by this action. We were NOT breaking any laws and were being harassed at my own local beach! What’s up with that? It is not good to intimidate people at our beach; it’s bad for anyone who loves San Diego! I want the rope shortened. Tell the seal lovers to leave people alone! Christine Keller San Diego
Marine life may well be taking over our beaches Yes, yet another letter to the editor regarding the seals — sorry! On Jan. 31, as the news crews and Mayor Filner were setting up down at the Children’s Pool, I was taking my dog for his afternoon walk by the Cove. (I only wish I had my iPhone with me for video confirmation of this letter). The sea lions were particularly loud and drew my attention to the world-renowned Cove Beach, where one large sea lion was up on his front fins/torso charging a young boy on the beach. Granted, the boy was taunting him to a certain degree by walking back and forth along the shore, but the sea lion kept pace and charged up the sand a few times, barking relentlessly at the boy. Several minutes later, a man attempted to get in for a dip and the same sea lion charged underwater toward him like a
SEE LETTERS, A15
OPINION
www.lajollalight.com FROM LETTERS, A14 torpedo — scaring the man and all of us watching above. He tried to enter again but the sea lion repeated his maneuver. Eventually, the swimmer walked back up the steps in defeat. Moments later, a couple of svelte women (regular swimmers with fins, wet suits and goggles) attempted to get in for their swim and the sea lion called in reinforcements, barking to his comrades on the adjacent rocks. Soon there were three of them barking in chorus, protecting the water from the offending swimmers. The dominant male charged the women several times on the sand, and underwater, and they eventually retreated up the steps as well. Then another swimmer decided to give it a try — he was not going to be intimidated and just forged in. The sea lion did charge him underwater and followed him for some distance, but the swimmer somehow managed to ignore him and proceeded on his swim. A nearby regular swimmer told me the bay seals are generally friendly and playful, but it’s the sea lions that are territorial and aggressive: You can’t look at them and have to assertive and ignore them. After watching this interaction, I feel it’s my duty to make people aware of this potential beach invasion and proclaim it is an accident waiting to happen, especially in light of inexperienced swimmers and young children who aren’t familiar with the area and the sea lions’ aggressive behaviors. In addition, it truly breaks my heart to think we could lose the Cove Beach to the sea lions/seals as well with rope barriers, tainted water, protestors, cameras and endless debates mucking up our memories of the coast. That also wouldn’t leave ANY safe beach for young kids to swim in the Village area — the undertows are just too dangerous elsewhere. I admit to being a romantic and yearning for many of the old La Jolla landmarks I grew up with, many of which are gone. I learned to swim at the Children’s Pool back in the late 1970s, when it was a treat to occasionally see a sea lion’s head bopping in the water and about two-dozen of them sunbathing on the large flat rocks across from the pool/wall. It was also my mom’s favorite place to go for a waveless
swim, where she wouldn’t get her hair soaked or have to take out her contacts! In my teens, I was rescued by lifeguards from the rip currents between the Cove and the Children’s Pool, where the currents are super strong and the sandy beach is now closed and replaced with boulders. (Speaking of which, why not offer the seals this section of the beach west of the Bridge Club?). We must be vigilant in protecting the Cove Beach for residents, tourists and children of all ages to paddle, snorkel and swim safely in the beautiful La Jolla waters. Those sneaky seals and sea lions will simply take over while we’re not looking — just as they were on Jan. 31 when the cameras were rolling, in my opinion, at the wrong beach! Sarah Wilkey La Jolla
Signs at Children’s Pool in violation of edicts Dear City Attorney Jan Goldsmith: You have called for an end to litigation over the Children’s Pool in La Jolla now that the legislative branch of city and state government have settled the issue by calling for protection of the seals. However, your neighborhood prosecution unit is spending public resources on criminal prosecution for removal of illegally posted signs at Children’s Pool that encourage seal harassment. The anti-seal agitators who sell T-shirts and seek to turn the area into an illegal petting zoo have to sign an agreement with the city for their permitted booth space, which states they will keep signs at arms-length within their permitted space. Instead, these individuals are posting signs and “OPEN” flags all over the beach and surrounding areas with impunity, and citizens who do the city’s job in removing the illegaly posted signs are being prosecuted for it. Please review this policy with your neighborhood prosecution unit. Ted Rodosovich La Jolla

Ruth Evelyn Bakken 1913 – 2012
Ruth Evelyn Bakken, born Ruth Evelyn Grim, passed away peacefully on December 23, 2012. She was 99 years old. Ruth was born and raised in Pennsylvania. She led an illustrious life filled with the excitement of a career in nursing and her marriage to Morrie whom she joined in Heaven with
her sons, Bruce Kevin and Lee Alan Bakken. Ruth and Morrie married in New Jersey in 1949 with Morrie’s father the Reverend Irwin Morris Bakken presiding. They embarked on a three month honeymoon excursion from the East coast to the West. In Laguna Beach a bartender told them to go south to La Jolla where Morrie could possibly find work. That was all it took for them to discover and fall in love with La Jolla. They settled in and raised their three boys. Morrie went to work at the Willis Allen Company and Ruth would manage the now Park La Jolla Apartments in Bird Rock where they lived. She and Morrie were featured in stunning photographic advertisements for the apartment’s promotions. Ultimately she would work at Scripps Hospital on Prospect Street in La Jolla where their three boys were born. In the meantime she continued to help her husband with his industrious career as a top salesman and
manager as well as President of the La Jolla Real Estate Broker’s Association. Ruth was busy in her community volunteering, running a Cub Scout Den and enjoying lazy days on the beach at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Ruth was also an avid golfer; once beating, in a handicap match, PGA Professional Paul Runyan at the La Jolla Country Club. She loved and devoted herself to all kinds of animals. There was never an animal she couldn’t attract! She was a strongwilled, heart driven and a caring person who will forever be missed. Ruth is survived by her son, Kyle Bakken; daughterin-law, Joby; grandchildren, Paige Bakken and Rory (Rachel) Bakken; daughterin-law, Jean Kester; and grandchildren, Shauna (Solo) Ahmed and Elizabeth (Derek) Clark; and greatgrandchildren, Judah Bakken, Hailey and Torin Ahmed and Nathan Sleeper.

Cathedral Catholic Dons topple La Jolla Vikings, 66-36 By Michael Ragovin The Cathedral Catholic Dons of Carmel Valley and the La Jolla High Vikings took to the hardwood at the Vikings’ gym on Feb.14. It wasn’t pretty, and on the scoreboard, 66-36, it looked really bad. There are no excuses, however, let’s look at what actually caused this lopsided loss. Cathedral got the opening tip and scored first on a jumper from inside the key. La Jolla got the ball back but Zach Ohara missed from the corner. Two minutes went by before Cathedral made another jumper for the second score of the game and it was 4-0 Cathedral. The Dons scored twice more on Vikings’ turnovers before David McColl got La Jolla on the board with a layup at 3:50 remaining in the first period. Then, La Jolla missed from
The basketball CIF playoffs are next for both teams underneath and Cathedral made a 3-pointer that put the Dons ahead by nine: 11-2. Cathedral blocked a shot under the Viking basket and turned it into two points on a fast break. With 2:44 left in the first period it was 13-2, Dons’. Ohara made a 3-pointer and Cathedral scored on a fast break layup resulting from a steal. Another three ball by Ohara and a free throw by Cathederal and the first period ended with Cathedral out front 16-8. The Viking’s McColl went up for two and missed to start the second period. He got two free throws and
made one. The Dons followed with a 3-pointer and a layup off of another steal and the score was 219. A fast break by Cathedral extended their lead 23-9. Tyson Young hit Daniel Farkas under the basket, who put it up and in. Add a free throw and at the 5:30 mark, it was 23-12 Cathedral. La Jolla did not score another point in the period and the Dons ran off 16 straight to finish the second period with the Dons leading 39-12. The scoring in the third period opened on a 3-pointer by Cathedral followed by a Matt Needham jumper and two free throws by the Dons. At 6:44 of the third period, the score was 42-16. An interception of a Viking inbound pass resulted in a Cathedral layup and two more points. Farkas drove to the basket for two,
Cathedral made a free throw and Ohara knocked down another three. The Vikings had a 47-21 game with 4:21 left in third. Farkas was fouled on the way to the basket and made both free throws. The Dons made a jumper and a 3-pointer and the Vikings were looking up at a 52-33 Dons’ lead. McColl made two free throws and Cathedral made two free throws to end the third period 56-25, Cathedral. The fourth period scoring opened with Marco Lopez putting one in from underneath with a free throw for a three-point play making it a 56-28 lead for the Dons. Farkas converted an offensive rebound with a free throw and it was another threepoint play for La Jolla. The Vikings added a free throw and at 6:34, the
score was 56-32. La Jolla had scored seven straight. Cathedral came back with a free throw and a fast break basket to increase their lead, 59-32. Cathedral then scored six straight before Needham made two free throws. The Dons made another free throw and the game ended 66-36. Excluding the second period and taking a look at the first, third and fourth, Cathedral scored 43 points and La Jolla 32. The break down came in second period when Cathedral scored 23 points and La Jolla only 3. In addition, I counted 21 La Jolla turnovers leading to 24 Cathedral points. Also, La Jolla missed 12 shots under the basket giving up an additional 24 points. Give credit where credit is due. Cathedral played a strong defensive game.

It started out lopsided and became very exciting and close at the end. It started with Country Day Torreys jumping out to a 10-0 lead — seven points of which were scored by Kelsey Plum. Bishop’s scored the next six points on layups by Olivia Erlbeck, Imani Littleton and Devon Roeper. — Michael Ragovin

Lady Knights basketball team falls to Horizon Panthers 55-53 By Michael Ragovin The Bishop’s School Knights and Horizon Christian Academy Panthers squared off on Friday, Feb. 8 on the Knights’ home court. The Knights trailed most of the game, but made a push in the fourth quarter, and eventually fell by only two points as Horizon prevailed 55-53. With the score tied 4-4 in the first minute of play, Horizon got an offensive rebound and put it back for two. The score was 6-4, Panthers, with 6:55 remaining in the first period. Bishop’s went into a full-court press and Horizon immediately grabbed two rebounds and made two lay ins after traveling the length of floor. Devon Roeper followed with an offensive rebound of her own and scored from under the basket. After a fast break basket by Bishop’s with five minutes left in the first period, Horizon led 12-8. The Panthers stole the ball for an easy layup, and then made two easy lay ins and increased their lead to 18-8. Cynthia Burboa hit a long jumper for three to narrow the gap, 20-11. Burboa then stole the ball and hit Roeper down at the other end, who put it up and in. Soon after, Imani Littleton made a free throw and the first period ended with Horizon leading 20-14. Bishop’s opened the second quarter with a full-court press, causing an immediate turnover by Horizon, who got an offensive rebound and a steal for four more and the Panthers led 24-14 with six minutes left in the second period. Roeper hit two free throws and Horizon made a three making the score 27-16 at the 3:51 mark. Bishop’s could not take advantage of two lay in opportunities and missed an attempt from behind the arc. Horizon got two easy lay ins after traveling the length of the floor off two steals. After a defensive rebound Bishop’s pushed the ball up the floor quickly for a lay in. Facing a 13-point deficit, Bishop’s trailed 31-18 at end of the second quarter. The third quarter began with Olivia Erlbeck scoring from under the basket on great pass from Littleton. Bishop’s pressed, got a steal and an easy lay in and was back in the

Horizon got three offensive boards (“offensive” in and of itself) and finally put one through the hoop from underneath. Littleton then drove to the basket and had an easy lay in. The score reached 33-24 with 4:57 remaining. At the 4:53 mark, the Panthers got another offensive rebound and easy lay in. Littleton missed on a short jumper, but converted on two free throws with four minutes left and the score 37-26. Horizon made a free throw and Roeper got a bucket from underneath. The Panthers didn’t capitalize on two offensive rebounds and missed on a three ball. Sierra Ducey made a lay in on a beautiful assist from Erlbeck. Horizon made two free throws, which were met with two free throws by Ducey. With 1:43 left in the third period, it is Horizon 40, Bishops 32. Horizon did not convert on a fast break, however, they got an offensive rebound and scored two more with the period ending 42-32.
The action really picked up in the fourth, which began with Littleton missing on a lay in; however, she was fouled and converted one of two free throws. Roeper scored on a great move to basket with an assist from Littleton. Horizon hit on a jumper from the key and with seven minutes left in the fourth period it was 44-35, Horizon. Littleton once again got involved with a beautiful move to the basket for two and Erlbeck hit on one from downtown for three more. Littleton made one of two from the free throw line, Roeper made two free throws and the Horizon lead is tightened to 44-43 with five minutes remaining. Horizon scored from under the basket and Burboa hit on a three to tie the score at 46. Erlbeck came right back and knocked down a three and Bishop’s was ahead for the first time at 49-46 with 3:57 left. Horizon drove to the basket for two – was fouled – and made the free throw. The Panthers scored four straight and take the lead 50-49 and there was 2:51 left on the clock. The offensive rebound reared its ugly head once again and Horizon soon took the lead 52-51 with two minutes left in the game. The Panthers got two free throws and the scoreboard read 54-51, Horizon. Littleton put one in from under the basket and we had a 54-53 game with 1:33 left. Horizon scored on a free throw, and while Bishops got the ball with nine seconds left, they couldn’t make it happen. Final Score Horizon 55, Bishops 53. Dramatically, Bishop’s was down by as many as 15 points. They played poorly under the offensive boards, missed numerous lay ins and their free throw shooting left much to be desired. In spite of all this adversity, they were right there at the end. They never gave up. They could have folded their tent when they were down by 15 and nothing would have been said. But, they didn’t. A wonderful example of reaching down and giving all you’ve got. This was not a loss for Bishop’s; they just didn’t have as many points on the board as Horizon at the end.

10 QUESTIONS
With an eye on finances, Trulette Clayes helps two entities run smoothly Trulette Clayes is the controller at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and co-trustee of the Joseph Clayes III Charitable Trust. She is the niece of the late Joseph Clayes, a financial and real estate investor and avocado rancher. She and her uncle’s friend, Brendan Holmes, administer the charitable trust in her uncle’s name. Recently, the Joseph Clayes III Charitable Trust established a $3.5 million endowment for Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego. Trulette Clayes The house provides a “home away from home” to families with children being treated for serious, often lifethreatening conditions at local hospitals. A previous gift was given to name the Joseph Clayes III Gallery at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library in La Jolla. Trulette lives in La Jolla with her husband Jeffrey Partrick. In her free time, she said she enjoys traveling, and staying active with early morning walks and Pilates.
What brought you to La Jolla? I began working at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in 1998. I met my husband in La Jolla in 2000. We were married in 2004 and purchased our home in the Village when we returned from our honeymoon. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? We absolutely love living here and appreciate our good fortune every day. There are really only two things that I think would improve our beautiful Village and that would be to repair the bumpy roads and to remove the scent of La Jolla Cove. Who or what inspires you? Since becoming a trustee of my late uncle’s estate, I have been inspired by the people who work for the various non-profit organizations I have come into contact with. They truly have a passion for their charities and it is infectious. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? We love to host what we call our “table of ten.” We have our close friends and family join us as often as we can all come together. Other than a dinner with our usual “table of ten,” I would like to invite a diverse group that would have a lively and humorous conversation.

Heart in England, Home in La Jolla
Bird Rock resident awaits his 100th birthday
La Jolla Centenarians Editor’s Note: As part of La Jolla Light’s 100th publishing anniversary this year, we are featuring interviews with fellow centenarians through 2013. Coming up next are conversations with Hazel Hart and Bill Vogt in the Feb. 28 and March 7 issues.
By Ashley Mackin lfred Scutt may have lived more than half of his 100-years in La Jolla, but its clear when speaking with him that his heart belongs to his homeland of England. Much of the life of the centenarian, who will officially hit the 100 mark on March 18, is influenced by the United Kingdom. It was in England that he married his wife and mother of his children, Grace, now deceased. It was the English influence the couple had in mind when they decorated their Bird Rock home. It was their history with the church they attended in England that led them to continue their church participation in

It is examples of English architecture that Scutt likes to paint for his home. A love story Al and Grace married just before World War II. One year into their marriage, Scutt was deployed to Iraq in the Royal
Air Force medical core. Though he had many adventures in travel, medicine and military camaraderie, Scutt said his one regret in life is the three years he spent away from Grace. In the years following his return, Scutt was constantly reminded that his wife wanted to move to La Jolla. Her sister and parents lived in San Diego, so she visited often. “All I heard was, ‘I would love to live in La Jolla’, she would say, ‘the Cove is beautiful,’ ” he recalled. Since war-torn England “wasn’t looking so good,” Scutt said he finally agreed and moved the family to La Jolla in 1956. It was here they found and rented their small Bird Rock home, which Al — even as a renter — completely renovated. Grace wanted the home to look “more English-y” Scutt said, so they decorated the home to remind them of their former house. After years of renting, the

owner of the home decided to sell it. He also decided the rent the Scutt’s had already paid was enough, and told them the house was theirs! It was partially his experience in redoing the residence that encouraged Scutt to work at Mary Star of the Sea in Oceanside. He was contracted to paint the inside and outside of the church (he even advertised his services in early editions of La Jolla Light), and later attended with his family. His family has a history of maintaining the grounds of churches in England, including helping a Duke of Norfolk. Scutt continued his services, conducting the Mary Star of the Sea church choir for 14 years. His choir experience began in England, where he sang in a church choir from age 5. He continues his love of music today, playing the organ in his home. Above the organ are photos of his children — Keith, Helen and Robert. Throughout the house are photos of his four grandchildren and five
La Jolla’s not really “changed, it’s just too busy. I think this place is a godsend, I really do.
”
— Alfred Scutt
Sunday Musicale series begins this weekend at Darlington House
The La Jolla resident was born in 1913 and turns 100 on March 18, 2013 great-grandchildren. Additionally, Scutt’s own art in the form of paintings, needlework and pen-andink sketches depicting architecture and gardens, maintain the British décor the Scutts set out to have. Acknowledging that he “hated leaving England,” Scutt said over time, he has developed a wonderful life and family. “The biggest prize that any man can have is a loving family, and I’ve got that.” It was during the move to America that Scutt was able to teach his children the lessons they hold to today. Son Keith explained, “Perhaps the greatest motto he conveyed to us children was that in America, whatever dream you may have can happen in your
life. My father is not a risktaker or gambler, but for him to move his family from England to California was a gamble that paid off for all of us.” From growing up with gas lamps and no electricity to watching a 3-year-old play with a cell phone, Scutt has seen plenty of changes in the world, but he said La Jolla hasn’t changed much … mostly just the streets, the stores and the crowds. “La Jolla’s not really changed, it’s just too busy. I think this place is a godsend, I really do,” he said. As for the reasons behind his longevity, Scutt just smiled and said, “I got on alright, I guess. I’ve had a good life. I haven’t got a lot of money or anything like that … but I’m a lucky guy.”

The Slow Poached Maine Lobster Salad includes Rancho Valencia citrus, pickled and roasted beets, avocado, burrata cheese and lemon vinaigrette.
By Kelley Carlson hether sunlight is streaming through the multi-paned windows or votives are illuminating the tables, Rancho Valencia’s Veladora is always glowing. The restaurant — whose name means “candle” in Spanish — conforms to the traditional hacienda style of the property with its rich colors and natural materials, yet there’s a hint of new age. By day, it’s vibrant — there are orange and yellow place mats on the tables. The multicolored hues of the real butterflies in the $1.1 million, 84-by-84-inch “Imploration” art piece by Damien Hirst are brilliant against the neutral-toned wall. But at night, it’s dramatic and romantic, with flickering lights cast from the hurricane lamps and fireplace. In the background, jazz music can be overheard. Outside in the fountain courtyard, the added sounds of bubbling water soothe, while guests curl up in lounge chairs near flaming logs. Meanwhile, groups gather for special occasions in the elegant brick wine room that houses the resort’s rarest bottles, and in the blue-and-gold Sunrise Room that features dozens of lights suspended from the wooden beams above. But even though Veladora is elegant, it’s very relaxed and hip, and resort casual is the accepted style. Executive Chef Eric Bauer emphasized that it is not a pretentious establishment. In fact, “it’s a home away from home,” Bauer said. It’s casual enough to bring the kids — they are able to enjoy fare such as Ants on a Log (celery “logs” filled with peanut butter) and Grilled White Fish with steamed rice and broccoli, and standards that include

Crispy Chicken Strips and plain or cheese Rascal Burger Sliders with French fries. They can even color while they are waiting for their food to arrive. The main menu focuses on a coastal ranch/Mediterranean-inspired concept, and many dishes are switched out on a weekly or biweekly basis, often due to ingredient availability. Bauer favors produce from area growers, such as Rancho Santa Fe’s Chino Farm. But some items require even less travel: On the Rancho Valencia property, there is an olive grove and honeybee hives, and herbs are grown on the land. Some of Veladora’s dishes center around the vegetables; among them is the Grilled Artichoke Cannellonis with braised baby leeks, black truffle cream, charred endive and Reggiano cheese, wrapped in potato
instead of the standard pasta. Others focus on meat, such as the Braised & Lacquered Veal Breast with winter onion soubise, smoked carrots and puffed farro, in a natural veal reduction. And then there are the seafood selections. The colorful Slow Poached Maine Lobster Salad incorporates Rancho Valencia citrus, pickled and roasted beets, avocado, burrata cheese and a lemon vinaigrette. The raw Breath of the Sea combines California uni, spot prawn, Kusshi oyster, giant clam, cucumber, seaweed, finger limes and chilled dashi consommé. The latter “is the soul of the ocean — very fresh, very clean,” said Bauer, who recommends Veladora guests try a variety of dishes, made possible by half portions of pastas and other small plates.

Beaumont’s and Bubba’s enter burger battle The Jan. 31 issue of the Light highlighted local burger and beer spots with the “Bet Your Buns There’s A Burger War Going On” story and called on you to tell us your favorites. We got two responses suggesting new spots to try. The first came from restaurateur Megan Heine. “I was a little surprised that the Beaumont Burger at Beaumont’s Eatery in Bird Rock (three-meat blend, sun-dried tomatoes, caramelized onions, basil aioli) was left out of the article! It’s one of La Jolla’s original gourmet burgers.” The second came from Oscar E. Henrriques. “For my money, the best burger in La Jolla is served at Bubba’s Smoke House BBQ,” he said. “The Bubba’s Bacon Burger, served with cheddar cheese, a 1-inch thick onion ring and thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon (I like it best with Bubba’s Kickin’ BBQ Sauce) — Carl’s Jr. can’t touch it! Pile on the all the trimmings and you’ve got the best Westernstyle burger I’ve ever had. Grab extra napkins, you’re going to need them.” — Ashley Mackin

No hope of finding a Knowledgeable Human
Let Inga tell you ...
B
y my calculations, I spend a third of my time sleeping, a third enjoying retirement, and most of the rest on hold waiting for the next available agent. I don’t think anyone would argue that automated phone systems are the Techno-Ebola of our time. But I wouldn’t even mind that much if at the end of it was a Knowledgeable Human Being. I don’t know where The People Who Actually Know The Answer are but one place they certainly aren’t is at the end of any customer service line. I try going for the best of three to see if I can get at least two people to give me the same answer, but oftentimes, I have to go for best of seven. If it’s the visa section of any foreign consulate, the mortgage division of a bank, Medicare, Social Security, or almost anything related to the State of California, you’re pretty much looking at the best of infinity. Here’s what I consider the fundamental mystery of our
times: Why is it that no matter how many calls you make in advance, you can only get the right answer to your question after you’ve done it wrong? That’s when the Actual Knowledgeable Human crawls out of the wood work to inform you, as these recent examples from friends illustrate, that a) the college credits you were assured would transfer from your former institution to your new one will not b) the medical procedure the customer service agent confirmed was covered is actually Out of Network, and c) the address that they gave you to send your first re-fi mortgage payment is actually the old one, incurring $300 in nonnegotiable penalties (and a black mark on your credit). Not, of course, that the institutions involved will take responsibility for the misinformation of their own employees, even if you have documented exactly whom you spoke with and when, or even recorded the call. Their mistake? Your bad. A corollary to the Mystery of Only Getting the Right Answer After You’ve Done It Wrong is a phenomenon I call Asking the Unanswerable. Business journalist Frank Lalli did a brilliant illustration of this in the Dec. 1 New York Times describing his efforts to find out what his blood cancer
drug would cost under either a new insurer or Medicare, which he was required to transition to come January. He documented 70 calls to 16 organizations and got estimates from $20 a month to a whopping $17,000 per year. The most accurate information, he lamented, was that he wouldn’t actually know the cost until he filed his first claim in January after irrevocably committing to a new plan. A South African friend, who works here and visits her son and grandchildren living in Europe, regularly encounters a second corollary to this phenomenon: Asking the Unanswerable of Ogres. I’d use a different word but my paper won’t let me. My friend notes that there are not only serious idiots working customer service desks, but some appear to be Satan’s second cousins. She swears the people at this particular European consulate lie awake nights thinking of diabolical ways to thwart the would-be traveler, for example, invalidating her visa request on the basis that the letter of invitation from her son had to be faxed rather than mailed to the consulate (a requirement never mentioned by the evil customer service troll she’d spoken with at length.) Only after the letter came in the mail instead of
fax did The Crone Who Actually Knows make her malevolent appearance. So where exactly ARE The People Who Know? Certainly, as we’ve determined, not interfacing with the general public by any known method of first-line communication. Where do they live? And why can’t we get to them the first — or even 15th — time around? Here’s my theory: The entities who Actually Know are tiny mutant life forms who live in a secret bunker at an Undisclosed Location. They have been programmed to hide there until such time as a hapless human has made some irrevocable commitment to a wellresearched course of action then beam themselves to Earth in humanoid form cackling maniacally to reveal The Real Answer. (But too late for you, Bucko!) I guess we Earthlings must simply accept that certain things fall under the category of Unknowable: Shakespeare’s precise birthday, certain properties of subatomic particles, the real recipe for Mrs. Field’s Cookies. And above all, the advance knowledge of accurate information. — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light.

CAN CERTAIN NUMBERS BETTER YOUR SELLING CHANCES? Some numbers may actually be luckier than others when pricing a home for sale according to some marketing experts. For example, prices ending in "9" can make a buyer feel he is getting a deal. Seeing a list price of $799,900 sounds so much less than $800,000 to many. Trulia recently announced that 53% of listed homes they had analyzed had a price ending in "9". Five was also a common number. The Trulia study also found trends showing that fewer prices contained unlucky "13" in them. Also in Nevada they found more people listed their homes with a "7" in the price. In fact the numbers "777" were three times more likely to appear in the list price in Nevada than anywhere else in the country. In the Southern part of the US, in areas referred to as the "Bible Belt" by this study, they found the number "316" on many list prices, possibly a calling to John 3:16 which is one of the most famous Bible verses. In Asian majority neighborhoods, "8" is a common last digit in home listing prices for in the Chinese culture it is associated with prosperity, good fortune and wealth.

What is your philosophy of life? When the Trust was first established, I placed this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson on the Trust’s website: “To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived — this is to have succeeded.”
What are your favorite films of all time? Last night, I was changing channels and “Hello, Dolly!” with Barbra Streisand was on. I love so many of her old movies. I also loved both versions of the “Thomas Crown Affair.” What is it that you most dislike? Disloyalty, dishonesty and procrastination. What is your mostprized possession? I don’t think of them as a possession, but I cherish my family the most. What do you do for fun? We love to travel and go to restaurants. We also love exercising, so that we can
What would be your dream vacation? We had a dream vacation when we went on safari in South Africa and Botswana in 2011. We are looking forward to returning to enjoy another safari in a different country.

true or false? George Washington was born Feb. 22, 1732. True! He arrived on his father’s “Pope Creek Estate,” near present day Colonial Beach in Westmoreland County, Va. His dad, Augustine, was a planter and part owner and director of an iron mine. George was the fifth of Augustine Washington’s 10 children. The first four were mothered by Augustine’s first wife, Jane Butler, two of whom did not survive to adulthood. The next six children were mothered by Mary Ball, including George, all of whom lived to adulthood, except the last, Mildred, who died in infancy. — revolutionary-war-and-beyond.com
Anti-sexism documentary to screen at middle school By Sharon Jones Coming on the heels of the uproar in the news over the super sexy commercials and half-time entertainment at this year’s Super Bowl game, the La Jolla Cluster Association will present the 2011 documentary “Miss Representation,” 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 24 at Muirlands Middle School auditorium, 1056 Nautilus St. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion. During the Super Bowl, advertisers used sex and sexist stereotypes to hawk cars, candy, technology and beer, but viewers struck back through a Twitter hashtag, #NotBuyingIt. CNN, Huffington Post, Forbes and other publications have written stories about the top offenders identified by viewers. “Miss Representation” promoters created the Twitter campaign. The 90-minute film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence in America. Teachers and students may attend for free (with school identification), but must RSVP in advance to: pgaray1@san.rr.com
Tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the door; available from lajollacluster.com To preview the film, recommended for ages 13 and older, visit missrepresentation.org

As part of its 2013 cabaret series, La Jolla Playhouse will bring three special acts to its Potiker stage on the UC San Diego campus. The Second City’s “Laughing Matters” sketch comedy tour comes back to town, March 20-23, with showtimes at 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday; 5:30 and 8 p.m. Friday; and 2, 7 and 9:30 p.m. Saturday. The Playhouse will also present “Steppin’ Out with Ben Vereen,” 8 p.m. Friday, March 29; 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, March 30; and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 31. The show highlights Vereen’s unique artistry and combines a tribute to Broadway, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. Tickets for these two shows are $30-$65 at (858) 550-1010 or LaJollaPlayhouse.org Local band Steam Powered Giraffe will entertain at 2 and 8 p.m. Sunday, March 24.

Since then, they’ve performed at The San Diego Fair, The San Diego Zoo, Legoland and numerous Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Steampunk Conventions. Their act combines the visual of robot pantomime with sketches, pop culture references, improvised comedic dialogue and original music.

The cocktail lounge where everyone from actor Gregory Peck to novelist Raymond Chandler and author Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) once held court, closed for
extensive renovations that will include removal of the wall dividing the bar and adjacent Café La Rue. The “new” space at 1132 Prospect St. will re-open in May as an expanded Café La Rue with a central, U-shaped bar. The original artwork of Wing Howard will be relocated within the hotel. — Susan DeMaggio

Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. Mimi Guarneri pose for a photo at the Natural Supplements Conference presented by the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine. Courtesy icine are complementary approaches that should be used in connection with one another, in a model he terms “integrative medicine.” When it comes to diet, Dr. Weil encourages people to avoid processed, refined and manufactured foods, and advocates a diet rich in organic fruits and vegetables, and the regular consumption of fish. Co-founded by Dr. Erminia (Mimi) Guarneri in 1999, the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine blends evidence-based complementary and alternative therapies with conventional Western medicine, in a “best of both
worlds” approach to preventing and treating disease, healing and improving health. The center cares for people with chronic conditions such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stress, pain, weight management and other issues in the mind-bodyspirit health arena. Dr. Guarneri, a conventionally trained cardiologist, said she came to recognize that cardiovascular disease — the No. 1 killer in America — needed a more comprehensive and holistic approach. She has gathered a community of the most
dedicated and visionary instructors and practitioners at the Center. She also authored, “The Heart Speaks,” a poignant collection of stories from heart patients who have benefited from this unique approach. Her book and clinical work have been featured on NBC Today and a PBS special, “To the Contrary and Full Focus.” Her work was also featured in a two-part PBS documentary, “The New Medicine.” Dr. Guarneri was recently elected president of the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine.

Dr. Weil’s address focused on true food (which he defines as seasonal, sustainable, simple and pure) optimum diet and the role of supplements. A book signing followed. Combining his Harvard education and a lifetime of practicing natural and preventive medicine, Dr. Weil founded and directs the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. He is the New York Times best-selling author of “Eating Well for Optimal Health,” “The Healthy Kitchen” and “Healthy Aging.” His latest book, “True Food,” was published in October 2012 and is the inspiration behind the True Food Kitchen family of restaurants, including one in the Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego.

Vicki Walsh pop-up exhibit ‘heads’ above all others By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt icki Walsh is not interested in skin-deep beauty. She looks at what lies beneath people’s cultivated exteriors to create the sometimes shockingly hyper-realistic paintings she is known for — detailed, largescale, in-depth portraits that show the influence of her years as a forensic medical illustrator. Her latest pieces, a series of 20 Haloed Heads, were on display for a day at “Tomaytoland,” the home of Robin Lipman, member chair of the San Diego Museum of Art’s Contemporary Art Committee. “These are the smallest things I’ve ever done,” said the artist. “They’re about half the size of a normal face, so they’re not as stark as my larger paintings. I think if they were 4- by 5.5-feet, they’d look completely different, the way you do in a magnifying mirror. But they took me a year to do: they’re all drawn in silver and gold, with thin glazes on top.” Why the haloes? “They’re sort of a riff on Renaissance icons,” Walsh said. “I like doing something new with old techniques, and I like the idea that we’re all human and divine.” You don’t see much hair in the portraits — Walsh would rather paint skin than hair — and few happy faces. She works from photographs, and discourages her subjects from smiling. She wants more interesting expressions. Among the 100-plus guests at

‘Coop’ and Patti Cooprider
Artist Vicki Walsh and some of her Haloed Heads. ‘I don’t do conventional portraits,’ she said. ‘I just use people’s faces.’ the pop-up exhibit were most of Walsh’s subjects, and a number of local art-world notables, including Sheryl White, one of San Diego’s 15 Arts & Culture Commissioners who happens to be the artist’s sister, and Hugh Davies, director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, where several of Walsh’s supersized heads were part of the 2010 exhibition “Here Not There.” Davies’ own head was one of the haloed ones on view — here, not there. Lipman said she first saw Walsh’s work on an art tour of the Whites’ home, about six years ago. “What really struck me were two heads in their living room, which turned out to be Vicki’s. She was there, and she invited me to visit her studio, and I ended
up buying one of her portraits, that’s now in my office.” What Lipman really wanted was a portrait of herself. “But it took me a long while to build up my courage,” she said. “Because Vicki doesn’t camouflage any flaws. Then last year, I decided to do it. I wanted a dramatic expression, so I made a kissyface. And when I saw the finished piece, I was surprised: I think she made me look good!” Having once seen a pop-up art exhibit, Lipman thought she might do one herself, someday. So when Walsh suggested the idea, she leapt at the chance. “It’s like having a party,” she said. “For someone whose talent I believe in.” For more about Walsh’s work, visit vickiwalsh.com

Be glad you weren’t invited to these outrageous dinner parties throughout the ages
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman
W
elcoming friends and family into your home (or palace) to break bread together and share cordials has been a custom for centuries. Here’s a glimpse into some of the most outlandish dinner parties of all times. Dinner To Die For “One man’s meat is another one’s poison,” aptly describes some fatal feasts throughout history, including Nero’s dinner party in the Roman palace when he allegedly murdered his adopted brother Britannicus (heir designate to the Empire), likely by slipping some poison into his goblet of mulsum (mixture of wine and honey). Lucrezia of the infamous papal Borgia clan, the Renaissance version of the Gotti family, had a penchant for hosting lavish and lethal dinner parties. Lucrezia had a reputation for dispensing her toxic tonic from a hollow chamber in her ring into the food or libations of dinner guests who did not share the Machiavellian political beliefs of the Borgia family. Arsenic antipasto anyone?
This convenient modus operandi of spiking drinks and dishes with potent potions led to the practice of hiring eunuchs as trustworthy servants (and food tasters) of royal courts, especially in China during the Middle Ages. If the eunuch survived the taste test, then the emperor could safely imbibe and chow down. Of recent times, revered Japanese kabuki actor and intrepid gourmand, Brando Mistsugoro, attended a dinner party with friends at a Kyoto restaurant, indulging in Fugu liver. This Japanese delicacy from the puffer fish, if not prepared by a certified Fugu chef, will likely contain toxic amounts of tetrodotoxin. That evening was Brando’s final curtain as he stuffed his face with four orders of the fatal Fugu. The Gross Gourmet Ancient Roman gastronome, Marcus Gavius Apicius, the Anthony Bourdain of the first century AD, and author of the oldest cookbook that bears his name, was a lover of luxury and culinary extremes. That included serving such kitschy fare at decadent dinner parties as flamingo’s tongue, camel heel and pork liver foie gras produced by force feeding pigs with dried figs, plying them with mulsum, then slaughtering them. Spending 100 million sestertii on lavish hospitality, and unable to cope with pending impoverishment he poisoned himself. Egyptian Etiquette In Cleopatra’s barge the

décor for an elaborate dinner party included tables graced with gold-and-jewelencrusted place settings, and the floor blanketed with rose petals one and a half feet deep. The Queen served exotic feasts made with locally grown vegetables, fresh fish from the Nile and wild caught game. Spelt and fava bean soups, stuffed pigeon with seasonal veggies, roasted wild boar, and date, fig and nut cakes covered with honey were some of her faves, all washed down with Greek wine and beer. Of great sport were the gustatory competitions between Cleopatra and her lover Mark Antony as to who could host a costlier banquet. While Antony scoped out a plethora of rare delicacies, the Queen easily spent 10 million sesterces, and in the commotion, she managed to disintegrate one of her priceless pearl earrings in a goblet of vinegar. Peripatetic Dinner Party A contemporary trend gaining popularity is a riff on potluck with an element of travel. The Progressive Dinner party (aka the Safari Supper or the Round Robin) is comprised of successive courses prepared and eaten at the homes of various hosts. So guests start at Alice’s house for appetizers, progress to Barry’s for the main course, and then finish the meal at Claire’s for dessert.

Cilantro sensation Dear Kitchen Shrink, I read with great interest your Jan. 10 article on cilantro in La Jolla Light. I’m hoping that you can clarify something I have been wondering about: When did everyone start using this stuff so massively? You write that cilantro is “the cornerstone of Latin American cuisines,” yet I grew up next to Mexico and spent many years living, working and traveling in various parts of Latin America (including Mexico) for decades without ever noticing that cilantro was in any dish. Not to say it wasn’t there, but if it was, it was used so subtly and sparingly that it was not obvious. Suddenly starting about the 1980s (more or less) cilantro seemed to be sprinkled on everything north of the border. It took a few more years for it to percolate south in noticeable amounts, and subjectively it seems far more prevalent in restaurants catering to gringos than anywhere else. Any further information on the spread of cilantro will be appreciated. David Rearwin La Jolla Thanks for the kudos and interest in my “Kitchen Shrink” column. Now, let’s talk cilantro. I believe cilantro became popular in the 1980s when Mexican cuisine really began to assimilate into the American food scene. Also, when televisioncooking shows started to become popular (“Julia Child,” “The Galloping Gourmet,” etc.) chefs would tout the use of fresh herbs as a quick and dirty tip for neophytes to step up their cooking game.

Cheese substitutes Dear Kitchen Shrink, I read the cilantro-pesto recipe in the Jan. 10 La Jolla Light and want to know if you have a substitute for cheese. I am lactose intolerant and could just leave it out, but half cup adds so much flavor that I’m not sure I want to try it. Any suggestions for us lactose intolerant people? I would be most appreciative of any other recipes or sources for this condition. I’ve learned to live with it for the past four years. I am 72. I know most people get it around their 20s, so I’m not complaining. Ruth Bergstrom La Jolla Thank you for reading my column, and I so welcome your query. I, too, have become more and more lactose intolerant over the years because our bodies produce less digestive enzymes as we age. I have my 82-year-old mom and I take a probiotic supplement or glass of probiotic kefir every morning to help our guts do their jobs. This has helped us become more tolerant to dairy. As for a cheese substitute, you could try an assortment of grated tofu cheeses, or yogurt or goat cheeses, which are more forgiving. You could also leave out the cheese and add an assortment of nuts.

Mhari Sandoval portrays a photojournalist named Sarah in ‘Time Stands Still’ at the North Coast Repertory Theatre. Ken Jacques
Broadway’s ‘Time Stands Still’ comes to North Coast Rep By Diana Saenger After his request to stage the new play, “Time Stands Still,” by Donald Margulies, North Coast Repertory Theatre’s artistic director, David Ellenstein, had to spend some of his own time standing still. When the play ended its run at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles, Ellenstein said he tried to snatch it up next, but was told by Margulies that the play was heading to Broadway. There, it was widely hailed as one of the best new plays of the year and nominated for several Tony Awards. Ellenstein, who acquired the rights to present “Time Stands Still” after its Broadway run, called Margulies “one of my favorite contemporary playwrights.” “I’ve done his play ‘Sight Unseen’ three times, (plus) ‘Collected Stories’ and ‘Shipwrecked! An Entertainment,’” Ellenstein said. “He writes people I believe in and care about … and his dialogue is of how people speak in a theatrical way; he has a pulse on how people are now.” “Time Stands Still,” tells the story of photojournalist Mandy (Stacey Hardke) and her journalist boyfriend Jamie (Francis Gercke), both of whom are coming home after covering wars in the Middle East. Jamie is suffering from a nervous breakdown, and after he left the battle zone, Mandy

Now physically and mentally hurt, Jamie and Mandy have a new challenge. Although they’ve been together for more than eight years, they’ve never been together as time stands still. They’ve always been on the move while working. Can they cope with being with each other 24/7 in a New York apartment? “It’s certainly about things that people are
dealing with right now,” Ellenstein said. “The story covers both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, so it will resonate with the audience. The story is also an examination of what responsibility means, and there is another couple in the play (John Nutten as Richard, and Mhari Sandoval as Sarah), who are dealing with some new twists in their lives as well.” Ellenstein is superb at choosing a cast and doesn’t disappoint with the actors he picked for this play. Gercke has appeared in many San Diego productions (“Proof,” “The Merchant of Venice,” “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” “Tragedy of the Commons,” and others) and is co-founder and former artistic director of New Village Arts. Ellenstein previously directed Sandoval in her first professional play in 1991. Since then, she has achieved success in “The Power of Darkness,” and she is the voice of “Deadly Sins” on Investigation Discovery Channel. Hardke has appeared in “Becky’s New Car,” NCRT and “Hairspray,” SDREP. She is a University of San Diego recipient of the Irving Parker Award for Excellence in Theatre. Nutten’s local credits include “A Prayer for My Daughter,” “Twelfth Night,” “Zoot Suit” and others. He was recently seen on Showtime’s “The Big C.”

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to
the Deed of Trust executed by IRENE L. SERRATO, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, dated 06/21/2005 and recorded 6/28/2005, as Instrument No. 2005-0545382, in Book , Page 32589, of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, State of California, will sell on 03/08/2013 at 9:00AM, SHERATON San Diego HOTEL & MARINA 1380 Harbor Island Drive, San Diego, CA 92101 at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1641 PENTECOST WAY #2, SAN DIEGO, CA, 92105. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $201,868.44. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier’s checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state.Said sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. If required by the provisions of section 2923.5 of the California Civil Code, the declaration from the mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent is attached to the Notice of Trustee’s Sale duly recorded with the appropriate County Recorder’s Office. 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 a 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 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, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco. com, using the file number assigned to this case 12-0083322. 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.

REAL ESTATE SHOWCASE
FROM REBA REPORTS
La Jolla has hidden microneighborhoods, but you just have to know where Upper Hermosa changes to Lower Hermosa, which part of Country Club doesn’t touch the golf course, and where to find Soledad South, the Old Muirlands, Bird Rock, and La Jolla Mesa. Where did these designations come from? According to the La Jolla Real Estate Brokers’ Association (REBA), a group of Real Estate agents laid them out decades ago in an effort to bring organization to showing property here. Beach-Barber Tract, La Jolla Shores Heights, Hidden Valley, the Village — once you get the hang of it, it all makes sense. Locals know their neighborhoods, and so do REBA agents. REBA has a free, portable, old-school, fold-up map of La Jolla and surrounding areas, printed in a large, readable font. The maps are available for the asking from Kathy Steever at the REBA offices, 908 Kline St. Visitors find themChuck useful, since La Ad.pdf Helsel La Jolla Light Jolla is not laid out on a Midwestern-style grid.
