By Pat Sherman As the seasonal influx of tourists approaches, public parking in The Village is becoming even scarcer. Perhaps nowhere is this more pronounced than in the area around the Vons grocery store on Girard Avenue, where adjacent merchants say the grocer’s parking management has led to a scarcity of spaces and created headaches for their customers. A little more than a year ago, Vons’ management began placing orange cones in 28 spaces along a wall at the east end of its main parking lot, which abuts a row of retail spaces and a Thai restaurant. Signs have since been posted to further designate the spaces as reserved for Vons employees. Though Vons owns a portion of the lot and rents the rest for its use, neighboring merchants say reserving such A camera-shy Modern Parking prime spaces for Vons’ employee patrols the lot at employees, who could the Girard Avenue Vons store. park in the lot in back of the store, amounts to unfriendly business practices — particularly for older La Jollans who cannot walk as far. Vons’ store management referred questions from the La Jolla Light to its corporate office. Though Vons’ public affairs manager Carlos Illingworth said Vons’ employees “are directed to park in the back lot and the front lot is only to be used for overflow employee parking,” during SEE PARKING, A14

Shores lifeguard tower won’t be done until fall By Dave Schwab Completion of the new La Jolla Shores Lifeguard Tower, expected by the summer, will be delayed until early fall due to construction glitches. However, the parking lot building to house emergency lifeguard vehicles, as well as the filtration project to minimize ocean runoff in the Kellogg Park lot, will both be finished by Memorial Day weekend. The city has a summer moratorium on construction activities that runs from May 28 (Memorial Day) to Sept. 3 (Labor Day) to protect seasonal businesses. “Both projects were a little more challenging than expected,” Dave Zoumaras, city deputy director for Engineering and Capital Projects told La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) at its meeting on April 11. “We have made significant progress on design and structural elements of the lifeguard tower — and will be pouring concrete within a couple of weeks — but all of the structural issues will not be resolved before Memorial Day.” Zoumaras said the project’s contractor “made some mistakes with structural steel in the tower itself” that resulted in “three months of design reviews to fix their mistake.” He added the city wants to ensure the new lifeguard tower is “installed and constructed within code.” Once work resumes on the La Jolla Shores Lifeguard Tower after Labor Day, Zoumaras said contractors will demolish the existing lifeguard tower.

The new structure is estimated to cost $3.8 million. It will be a 1,485-square-foot, stateof-the-art lifeguard station with an observation tower sporting a 270-degree view, a modern first-aid room, male/female locker rooms, administration areas, and a staff ready room. At the meeting, LJSA Board approved the city’s request to reserve a maximum of five parking spaces in the Kellogg Park lot until the Fourth of July to help crews working inside on the lifeguard tower expedite the project. Other LJSA Board news: • Storm Water Project: City Storm Water Department spokesman Bill Harris said a decision was made to “push off for a year,” the September 2012 start of the Avenida de la Playa Storm Water Infrastructure project, which seeks to resolve recurrent flooding problems threatening pollution of a biologically sensitive area offshore. The project would replace 1,300 feet of storm drain, 1,200 feet of sewer line, and 150 feet of water line at a cost of $3.6 million. • City Aid: The board voted to send three letters to the city: 1) a request for money to hire a staff person to help update the Shores Planned District Ordinance (PDO) rules governing commercial and residential development; 2) a Request for Proposal (RFP) to regulate Shores scuba diving businesses, similar to what’s been done with the kayak businesses; 3) a request for funding for a ranger to patrol the Shores, which is densely populated in the summertime.

The lifeguard tower framework is going up at La Jolla Shores.

Swim-a-thon to raise scholarship money for injured athletes By Dave Schwab You don’t need to have a disability to Swim With Mike during the second annual athletes scholarship fundraiser for the physically challenged, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 5 at UCSD Canyonview Aquatic Center, 3320 Voigt Drive. Founded by spinal-injured La Jollan Michael Thomas and his wife Betsy, the benefit is an inspiring, fun and challenging way to improve the lives of spinal-injury victims. “These (spinal-injured) kids come in here and they see other kids like them and it helps them to know there’s facilities out there that can help them improve,” said Thomas, whose spine was injured in a car accident in Cuba 14 years ago. He was told he’d never walk again, but thanks to private sports trainer Ted Dardzinski, Thomas can get around. “This event raises money for scholarships for spinal-injured kids to go to college. It’s really so important for these kids to get an education, to know there’s a better future for them.” Injured at age 54, Thomas lost the use of his hands and couldn’t perform simple tasks like making a fist or brushing his teeth. Helped by Dardzinski, who’d be-

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

On Dec. 10, 1998, a chicken crossed the road in Cuba and led to the car accident that changed Mike Thomas’ life forever. He was diagnosed with a C-7 incomplete spinal cord injury. Since that day, he has trained hard and fought for mobility. With the support of family and friends (pictured here with wife Betsy) he’s gone from catastrophe to conquest, living a life without boundaries. Dave Schwab gun a new program for spinal cord injury called Project Walk, Thomas has reacquired much physical capability — including the ability to walk — through focus, patience and hard work.

“When I was injured in middleage, I’d already lived a great life,” Thomas said. “But I thought about these kids who are injured surfing, or who get off a football field injured when they’re 18 years old,

and have their whole lives in front of them.” His wife Betsy chimed in, “I’m amazed at how many people are touched by spinal-cord injuries, who know somebody or who’ve been involved personally,” she said. “If you’re involved, whatever your level of recovery is, you’re involved for life. It’s something so totally devastating. Your life changes in a split second and it will never be the same.” Swim With Mike was actually begun more than 33 years ago at Thomas’ alama mater, USC. The Thomases have been on the board of directors of that organization

since 2000. The parent organization has raised tens of thousands of dollars over the years to combat the effects of spinal injuries. The couple thought, why not start a satellite chapter in San Diego? When approached, UC San Diego agreed to host a Swim With Mike event for San Diego County. “In 2011, the first year, we raised $15,000,” Thomas said. “Becky wants to make it $50,000 our second year. Whatever we get, if Swim With Mike gets another kid into college, it’s been successful. Hopefully, we’ll get more people to turn out and swim for challenged athletes this year.”

La Jolla Planning Association will form ad-hoc committee to study membership rules By Dave Schwab Recent conflict-of-interest issues within the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) have led its members to create a committee to scrutinize rules governing members representing clients on projects being reviewed. Though architects and building professionals typically sit on community advisory groups and excuse themselves from votes which involve their clients, instances have occurred lately where trustees are representing projects in direct opposition to the planning association’s position on those projects. These “awkward” situations have led to the formation of the new committee. In one example, Encore, a large-scale redevelopment project in La Jolla Farms, was represented by immediate past LJCPA president Joe LaCava, while current LJCPA president Tony Crisafi presented on behalf of neighbors opposed to the project. On March 1, overriding some neighbors’ objections that public ocean views would be compromised by the Encore project, the LJCPA endorsed Encore in an 8-3-3 vote. Crisafi said the new membership rules committee is a positive development. “Most people in the community want discussion about these issues,” he said. “I think it’s a good thing to have an open forum to get these issues out on the table and talk about them and get feedback from the community.” LJCPA treasurer Jim Fitzgerald said it’s important for the new committee to vet all issues involved with trustees representing clients on development projects to ensure that “LJCPA policy conforms with (city) council policy.” He said having architects and other building industry

■ Trustees: 18; 4 are architects ■ Mission: The LJCPA has been recognized by the San Diego City Council to make recommendations to the city council, planning commission, city staff and other governmental agencies on land-use matters, specifically concerning the preparation of, adoption of, implementation of, or amendment to, the General Plan or a land-use plan when such relates to the La Jolla Community Plan boundaries. ■ Website: lajollacpa.org professionals on community advisory groups is part of having a “good, balanced cross-section of the community” on those groups. “We’re blessed to have architects reviewing these projects,” Fitzgerald said. “They have no official role to play other than to try and facilitate community involvement and input.” Fitzgerald noted the role of community planners, no matter what their professional background, is limited and clearly prescribed. “Our role is to determine whether a project is in conformance — or out of conformance — with land-use codes, including the PDO (Planned District Ordinance determining community regulations),” Fitzgerald said. The new ad hoc committee, which has yet to be formed, will have its first meeting sometime in May, and may be chaired by architect Phil Merten. Issues for discussion will be posted on the committee’s agenda prior to the meeting, with the time and place to be announced.

La Jolla High ‘conquered’ cuts in 2011, but budget woes persist By Pat Sherman An eleventh-hour fundraising drive held last spring by the Foundation of La Jolla High School raised $160,000 to prevent some staffing cuts during the current school year. But a new round of state budget cuts may mean the elimination of as many as 14 La Jolla High teachers this fall — something parent and community fundraising alone cannot prevent. The $160,000 raised during last year’s “Conquer the Cuts” campaign was used this year to keep the library open on a full-time basis and to pay the salaries of a fulltime finance clerk, an additional student counselor and part-time language arts teacher. Funds also helped provide additional staff hours for after-school programs, said foundation president Sandy Erickson. “The bottom line is that the $160,000 will all be gone by the end of the year,” she said. “We’re down to the bare bones. … With the budget cuts, the foundation will not be funding any

staffing next year.” Since a teacher’s salary can range from $80,000 to $90,000, the foundation has decided its money would be better spent next year on textbooks, school supplies, and maintenance of existing technology such as computers, printers and overhead projectors. “The state is not even adopting new text books,” Erickson said. “If we want to either repair, replace or update text books we have to pay for it ourselves.” This year the foundation raised $18,000 from its annual Taste of La Jolla benefit in the fall and $90,000 from its Nautilus gala on March 10. Erickson hopes to raise an additional $30,000 from the foundation’s Viking Golf Classic on April 30 — its third and final fundraiser of the year. Throughout the year, parents, alumni and community members may donate to the foundation’s general fund via its website, ljhs.sandi.net/foundation, or designate money for a specific area, such as athletics

or academics. A list of donations and expenditures, which is updated at the end of every month, is available on the foundation website. “If you donate to football, we can’t take your football money and use it for something other than football, so that’s why we try to get people to donate at the more general level,” Erickson said. The foundation was once able to fund capital improvements and facilities maintenance from its general fund, including construction of its aquatic center, the addition of lights and artificial turf for its football field, new lockers and resurfacing of its tennis courts. “Obviously, we can’t focus on that kind of stuff now,” Erickson said. “You could say we’ve done what was needed, but as you know maintenance is never over with. There are things we would like to do, but we have to set that aside because now we’re talking about school supplies.” The foundation will meet with school administrators

La Jolla to host part of 11th annual San Diego Film Fest

In a photo from the 2009 San Diego Film Festival, a filmmaker cozies up to a member of the press. www.sdff.org

By Dave Schwab Thanks to the joint efforts of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association and the San Diego Film Festival, La Jolla will share in hosting the Sept. 27-Oct. 3 event, which will be headlined by Hollywood director Gus Van Sant. Festival representatives Kevin Leap and Dale Strack told the merchant’s group at its April 11 meeting that Van Sant, twice nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director (“Good Will Hunting” and “Milk”), will be coming to San Diego and La Jolla for the 11th annual film festival. “Van Sant has never done a film festival anywhere else in the nation; this will be the first time,” Leap said, after the meeting. “One thing that was really appealing to him was the La Jolla facet. It’s one of the reasons he’s coming.” The film fest will be held partly downtown in San Diego’s Gaslamp District and partly in La Jolla at the Sherwood Auditorium in the Mu-

seum of Contemporary Art. Leap said they’ve been in discussions to bring Van Sant here since January, and the LJVMA “has been really helpful and excited about doing everything it can to help us make it happen.” Leap said Van Sant’s appearance will be a big step forward in promoting San Diego to the film industry. “San Diego’s always been known as Hollywood South,” he said. “It’s something for us to build an international presence with. Gus makes that statement. We want San Diego to become a primary presence in filmmaking in the area.”

In other LJVMA action: n Haute La Jolla Nights: The LJVMA board approved spending $9,600 to host a series of four Saturday night promotional events to be held from 6 to 9 p.m. June 9, July 28, Sept. 15 and Nov. 3. “Each will be a fun, festive evening of arts, shopping and music,” said event spokesperson Julie Matibag, noting Village merchants will be recruited on all four dates “to do something special out in front or inside their stores.” Matibag said the objective is to drive foot traffic into the Village and create a “buzz” about what

can be found here. n Associate Memberships: The board voted to form a committee to explore creating associate memberships that would allow businesses outside the boundaries of the LJVMA Business Improvement District (BID) to apply for membership and join the group on a case-bycase basis. “It’s not a drive for getting money, it’s a drive to get the right sort of businesses included in our organization that benefits the Village of La Jolla,” said president Phil Coller. “That’s what we’re about.”

WORKING TO HELP OUR CUSTOMERS AVOID FORECLOSURE IN

CALIFORNIA

We understand that foreclosures affect the communities where our customers live. That’s why Bank of America is working to help customers in those areas who are struggling to make their mortgage payments. For some, we’re able to modify their loans. For others, a short sale may be the best option. And to determine the range of solutions that may be available for each customer, we’ve expanded our local outreach in California and across the country. We’re meeting face-to-face and over the phone with customers to help them understand their situation and explain the available options. Through our outreach efforts, we helped over 21,000 customers in California in 2011, and gave over one million customers nationwide the chance to avoid foreclosure through loan modifications, short sales and deeds in lieu of foreclosure since 2008.

Oceanographer discusses imaging system that found Titanic wreck

SIO scientist Jules Jaffe’s expertise helped build ‘Argo,’ the submersible sled-mounted video camera that ‘spotted’ the wreck of the RMS Titanic. Claire Discenza By Claire Discenza “This is the week of the 100th anniversary of the Titanic (sinking),” said Scripps Institute of Oceanography researcher Jules Jaffe, Ph.D. to a packed foyer at the Birch Aquarium. “And I know a lot of people have come primarily to hear about my involvement in that.” At the Jeffrey B. Graham “Perspectives on Ocean Science” lecture on April 9, Jaffe gave the audience just that. In his talk, “Underwater Imaging: From Titanic to the Tiny,” Jaffe reviewed the optical imaging systems he helped develop to explore everything from large undersea wrecks to miniscule microbes. While Jaffe stressed the importance of studying the “little guys” of the ocean — the zooplankton, phytoplankton and microbes that make up the majority of marine biomass — he started his talk on a much grander scale. Jaffe began by explaining how technology plays a role in the difficult task of finding a shipwreck. The strategy that explorers and scientists use to locate any undersea rubble involves two phases: an audio search followed by a visual search. As sound can travel farther underwater than light, it is most efficient to start by sending high-frequency sonar pulses out into the ocean. By recording the returning sound waves after they have bounced off an object, or “contact,” researchers can make rough sonic images of the ocean floor.

When looking for something like the Titanic, researchers have to be thorough. “What you want to do is map a pattern with sonar to methodically go back and forth and find contacts that are potentially the Titanic,” Jaffe said. “We call it ‘mowing the lawn.’ ” Jaffe showed a sonic image of one of these contacts, a fuzzy picture with a small speckling of dots in the center. “It turns out that inherent in the process of forming a sonic image is something called ‘speckle.’ It has to do with the fact that sound is almost like laser because it is very coherent. That means all the waves line up together,” he explained. “You might look at that image and ask: ‘Oh my gosh, how did they figure out that was a wreck?’ It turns out that researchers cannot be sure this image is of anything of interest — instead, a sonic image simply gives a search team an inkling that there might be something out there. The team can then go back to search the contact visually with optical imaging. The optical imaging system uses what most of us know and love to do — to see.” Jaffe helped design this optical imaging system that found the Titanic nearly 30 years ago. He got involved in maritime archaeology after a chance meeting with Robert Ballard. “I meet this guy [Ballard], and I realize very quickly that he wants to be the most famous ocean explorer

ever,” Jaffe reminisced. “He says to me: ‘I want to find the Titanic.’ And what do I think but ‘yeah right.’ So I was wrong.” Jaffe helped Ballard understand the physics of deep-sea light propagation by working with the Visibility Lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the world’s experts in underwater imaging at the time. With Jaffe’s expertise, Ballard’s team built “Argo,” a submersible sled-mounted video camera that could be pulled along the bottom of the ocean floor for hours, sending live feed for research-

ers to examine in real time. After a first-pass sonar search in collaboration with the French oceanographic institute IFREMER, it was with Argo that Ballard was able to finally identify the remains of the Titanic. “I didn’t go with Ballard on that trip, and in principle I don’t regret it,” said Jaffe, wistfully remembering the day Ballard found the wreck. “I wasn’t interested in finding the Titanic, I was interested in the technology.” In the 25 years since the discovery of the Titanic, Jaffe has used optical technology to see much more than metal at the bottom of the ocean. Today, he develops instruments to study how squid vision is adapted to dark waters. “There are experts in underwater imaging,” Jaffe pointed out. “It just happens that they aren’t people, they’re animals.” Jaffe’s team has also set up an autonomous profiler deep under the surface of the ocean. The profiler is fitted with cameras to take pictures of tiny micro-organisms, ranging in size from micrometers to inches. These images capture minute details that can only be seen in the wild and not in captive species, emphasizing the importance of studying these organisms in their natural habitats. “One of my goals is to garner appreciation on your part of the smallest things in the ocean and to highlight how

Eight Ways to Prepare for Home Ownership 1) Decide what you can afford. (a general rule is that you can usually afford a home between 2-3 times your gross income) 2) Develop your wish list. Prioritize features you want in a home. 3) Select where you want to live. Considering schools, commute, convenience to shops and restaurants and recreational facilities. 4) Start saving. Ideally a 20 percent down payment will get you the best loan. In addition, you may need 2-7% of sales price for closing costs and move-in fees. 5) Get your credit in order. Make sure there are not errors on your credit report. 6) Get pre-approved with a loan. You will need copies of your last two years tax returns, pay stubs, W-2 forms, account numbers and two to four months of your last bank statements to start with. 7) Weigh all sources of help with a down payment. Do you qualify for any special mortgages? Check with your state and local governments on down payment assistance for first time home buyers. It is possible if you have an IRA that you could use some money in it, without penalty for early withdrawal if this is your first home. Check with your accountant. 8) Calculate all the costs of home ownership: property taxes, insurance, maintenance, HOA fees, if applicable, and utilities. Last but not least.....contact a Realtor to help you find your dream home.

How the Titanic got its name In Greek Mythology, the Titans were the powerful elder gods who ruled the Earth and who were overthrown by the Olympians. A Titan was a symbol of mightiness and power. The White Star Line choose the name “Titanic” because it was the largest ship in the world at the time of its launching. The White Star Line always ended its ships’ names with “ic” — Olympic, Gigantic. — Source: wikipedia important they are in our global ecology,” Jaffe said. “I would be remiss as a scientist

Former La Jolla Town Council president Rick Wildman receives a bottle of WindanSea wine at the conclusion of his last meeting as president.

FROM TOWN COUNCIL, A1 tied for the remaining slot on the board. Wildman, who declined to use his authority as president to break the tie, said the board will vote on the remaining trustee slot next month. Officer elections Former town council treasurer Cindy Greatrex was elected council president by her peers. Former first-vice president Rob Hildt, who was vacationing in Hawaii, came in a close second for the seat. Greatrex, who works in the field of telemedicine and serves as president of the Independent La Jolla group, said she is “very pleased and happy” to take on the duties of president. She said she plans to do her “utmost to uphold the standards and integrity of the La Jolla Town Council,” while expanding its outreach and fostering the organization’s growth. “I want to make sure everyone’s needs are represented … whether it’s the merchants or the residents,” she said. In passing the torch to Greatrex, Wildman said he still planned to be “very involved” with the council as a member of its executive committee. Wildman, an attorney who also served as president of Promote La Jolla, Inc. and the La Jolla Bar Association, said one of his major accomplishments as council president was getting the meetings back on track and keeping the discourse civil. “Cindy is brilliant, highly organized and extremely successful in everything she’s done in her life,” Wildman said. “I don’t have any advice for her, other than, ‘How can I help?’” Also elected as officers were: Ken King as first vice president and write-in candidate David Woo as treasurer. Reelected to officer positions were John Weinstein, second vice president and Sonia Marie Olivas, secretary. “This is a great group and everybody here works so hard,” Wildman said. “It’s great of you all to step forward.” n In other town council news

• Office assistance: To help take some pressure off its existing part-time office manager and executive committee members, John Weinstein floated the idea of appointing former La Jolla resident and financial services professional Julie Duepner as a part-time, volunteer executive director, to work in the council’s office on Herschel Street from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays. Weinstein, who worked with Duepner at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, said she would help with public relations duties, community outreach and various office duties. “She’s very familiar with the community, very involved and she loves La Jolla,” Weinstein said. “The office schedule has been very erratic. It will be nice to have some consistency.” The council will vote on the position at its May 10 meeting. • Voice on land issues: Addressing those in attendance, La Jolla Community Planning Association (CPA) President Joe LaCava said he felt the town council had drifted afield from its focus on land-use issues. “The CPA takes the subcommittee very seriously,” LaCava said. “I personally went to the city and fought for the right of the town council to appoint (representatives to the CPA), so I’m very supportive of that. But it’s a question I think for your direction going forward. … Either increase your involvement in land-use issues and be a greater participant in the land-

Wildman said LaCava’s concerns came as a “surprise.” “I’d have to strongly disagree,” he said. • Community Foundation: Scott Peters, who sits on the board of the La Jolla Community Foundation and is running for Congress, spoke about the Foundation’s plans and urged those in attendance to share their ideas for potential community beautification projects. “If you know something you think would be community-minded, we’d like to know about it,” Peters said. • Post Office meeting: The La Jolla Historical Society’s interim executive director, Trip Bennett, urged council members to attend the United States Postal Service’s only planned meeting with community members to discuss the threatened Wall Street post office. “It’s OK if you’re a little enraged,” said Bennett. The meeting is 6 p.m. April 26 at the Cuvier Club, 7776 Eads Ave.

FROM PARKING, A1 several visits to the store last week all of the front employee spaces were occupied, while the back lot was less than half full. The rear spaces, while occupied by several cars with placards identifying them as Vons’ employees, is designated via signs as customer parking. “What should happen and what does happen are unfortunately not always in alignment,” Illingworth responded, via e-mail. “Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will work to remedy it.” A little more than a year ago, Vons also hired Los Angeles-based Modern Parking, Inc. to monitor its lot and assure that it is only being used by Vons’ customers, and that vehicles do not remain there beyond the posted two-hour parking limit. Rose Lapuz, owner of Thai Pan restaurant, said her customers have complained about heavy-handed enforcement by Modern Parking attendants. “A lot of my customers say they’ve been shopping at Vons all their life and they (Vons) won’t even let them park there (long enough) to come pick

up their food-to-go,” Lapuz said. “They’re not happy for the way Vons treated them.” Lapuz, who recently put her restaurant up for sale, said she believes the parking enforcement has hurt her business to some extent. Mario Sandoval, who owns an adjacent jewelry store on Fay Avenue, said many people who park in the lot for 10 or 15 minutes to visit a nearby retailer have been doing their shopping at the Vons store for a decade or more. Even though they may not be shopping at Vons that day, Sandoval said he feels it is unfriendly of Vons to hassle customers when they may only be visiting an adjacent business for 10 to 15 minutes. “Even if they come and they go across the street to get something, they do their grocery shopping at Vons,” Sandoval said. “Sometimes (my clients) want to come see me and the person that’s guarding the parking lot gives them a hard time because they’re parking for 10 minutes.” Representatives from Modern Parking, Inc. did not respond to several requests for comment on its parking management protocol.

Parking prohibitions at Vons in the Village have merchants and customers frustrated. PAT SHERMAN

Though Sandoval believes that people should not be able to park in the Vons’ lot all day, he said he thinks, “Vons should a little bit more flexible.” People who exceed the two-hour limit are given a warning the first time, then towed on their second offense. Illingworth said the decision of whether or not to tow a “repeat offender” is up to the discretion of a store manager. One store manager at the Girard Avenue Vons said that in his 10 months of employment there he has only authorized two vehicle tows. Several merchants also expressed concern about Modern Parking attendants writing down the license plate numbers of the people parked in the Vons’ lot in a

spiral notebook, and with how that information is stored and who may have access to it. “It’s the only way to correctly identify cars which may be violating the posted parking policy,” Illingworth responded. “Information is maintained in accordance with our company’s privacy policy which obligates uniquely identifying information to be kept confidential. “We also have security cameras in our lot and stores that record who comes and goes, as do many businesses and government agencies,” Illingworth wrote. “How is this concern different than that would be?” Most employees of adjacent businesses park behind the retail row, on the street or have paid parking

in a garage below the Ferrari dealership at the corner of Girard and Pearl Street. Heather Kenney, co-owner of La Jolla Photo and Imaging, said she has one space behind her store, which is adjacent to Vons. Her husband and one part-time employee park on the street and walk to the store. Though she said they are fine with this arrangement, she also said she has received “quite a bit” of complaints from customers about the grocer “commandeering all of the spots in front of my building” and Modern Parking’s “gung-ho enforcement” style, which includes stopping and questioning anyone they see parking and not walking into Vons. When apprised of the situation by customers, Kenney

said, “I tell them, unfortunately, the truth — the Vons shopping center has never been our parking. Basically it’s street parking, which there is plenty of, most of the time.” Several merchants said that, generally, Vons has been increasingly flexible with those who say they are only parking in the lot for a maximum 15 minutes to patronize an adjacent business. Kenney recalled when people would park in the Vons’ lot all day and head off to the beach or to work at a nearby business. She said tighter and clearer enforcement has at least made more spaces available for both Vons’ clients and those dashing into her store for digital imaging services. An employee with Ocean Cleaners, who asked that her name not be used, said that after Vons moved its employee parking to the wall next to her business, she noticed a marked decline in customers, though she said they have since returned and that lot attendees are becoming less argumentative and now allowing customers to park in the Vons lot to drop off their clothes.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Las Manos: Distinctive Art of Mexico By Marti Gacioch When Juan Carlos and Cecelia Brito decided to open their Las Manos del Artesano gallery in 2004; they decided to showcase only the best of Mexican and Latin American cultural pieces. The couple wanted to stand out from other La Jolla galleries that emphasize paintings. While Las Manos does offer some watercolors, the gallery focuses more on carvings in wood and stone, alabaster lamps, as well as papier-mâché, silver works, jewelry, pottery and apparel. The Britos travel to Mexico three to four times a year to visit the many artists whose works are represented in the store. “Our pieces are handmade, which takes double or triple the amount of time for an artist. We don’t bring in the usual tourist items; we try to bring in museum-quality, collectible pieces,” Juan Carlos Brito said. Las Manos offers a rainbow-colored collection of folk art pieces. It showcases many Dias de la muertos (Day of the dead) clay pieces of museum quality, and the best of other folk art, including Oaxaca woodcarvings and alebrijes — vibrant hand-painted wooden and papiermâché animal carvings. A colorful “Tree of Life” sculpture decorates

the gallery’s front window. Fashioned from clay by the Fotemo Family in Metetec, Mexico, the piece depicts a nativity theme. Mexico is one of the top producers of silver in the world, and Las Manos represents several of Taxco, Mexico’s top silver artists, including the Odilon Marmolejo Family’s five generations of silver workers, who create ornate silver bowls and ceremonial pieces. Las Manos also features the distinctive-style pottery from the village of Mata Ortiz, Mexico. These include pieces by Ana Trillo, and the work of the Quevada Family — several brothers and sisters who fashion virtuoso pottery Handmade apparel, including color-splashed blusa (blouses), huipil (dresses), scarves and shawls from Oaxaca and alpaca shawls from Peru, is also available. Religious carvings are well represented in the gallery where woodcarvings of santos (saints) and angels are popular best sellers. “We are sold out of angels now, but I just ordered some more,” Brito said. Las Manos del Artesano is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday; noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, 7940 Herschel Ave. (858) 454-3443, http://store. las-manos.com/

Mayor’s $75 million allocation includes several La Jolla projects By Pat Sherman Mayor Jerry Sanders’ plan to invest $75 million in infrastructure throughout San Diego includes several La Jolla projects, including repairs to storm drains, a coastal bluff and a garage used by lifeguards. On April 9 the San Diego City Council approved Sanders’ allocation, which calls for the issuance of $75 million in bonds and includes about $30 million (or 40.8 percent) in citywide street resurfacing. The location of streets slated for resurfacing have yet to be finalized, city officials said. Three years ago the city issued $100 million in capital-improvement bonds to resurface more than 100 miles of roadway and complete other infrastructure repairs. James Nagelvoort, an assistant director in the city’s public works department, said the plan calls for spending 85 percent of the funds by June of 2014 and 100 percent by January 2015. ■ The city will spend $65,000 to repair a coastal bluff at the foot of Midway Street in Bird Rock that eroded during the 2004-2005 storm season. The job also includes reconstruction of a protective barrier at the top of the bluff. ■ The city will spend $131,000 to repair a garage used by lifeguards at 811 Nautilus St., across from La Jolla High School. The onestory, 1,700-square-foot facility was built in 1985 and has a leaking roof and termite damage. The building is adjacent to Fire Station No. 13, and provides a staging area and designated parking for lifeguard employees.

By the Numbers ■O f the $75 million, about $30 million is slated for roadway resurfacing; $8.2 million is for ADA upgrades to streets and facilities; $15.5 million for storm-drain repairs; $16.3 million for firehouse, library and other facility upgrades; $2.6 million for streetlight upgrades; and $1.5 million for park and recreation upgrades.

Mayor Sanders $75 million infrastructure allocation includes $65,000 for repair of a coastal bluff and protective barrier at the foot of Midway Street in Bird Rock. Pat Sherman

■ More than $1.3 million will be used to rebuild the La Jolla Cove Lifeguard Station at 1100 Coast Blvd., which was built in the 1950s and is considered inadequate to support staff needs. The project, which already has received more than $508,000 in city funds, includes an observation tower, first aid room and locker. ■ $4.1 million will be spent to replace existing storm drainage along Avenida de la Playa with reinforced concrete. The project will provide a low-flow diversion feature to pump drainage to the sewer system. In an e-mail description of the project, Nagelvoort said the work would be completed in two phases.

Phase one will include an outfall structure at the beach end of Avenida De La Playa and replacement of storm drain pipes (built in the late 1950s) along the street from Camino Del Sol west to the outfall structure. Outfall is the point at which a storm drain pipe ends and the runoff is discharged into either a body of water or a canyon. The Avenida de la Playa outfall structure, located on the seawall, will reduce the amount of sand transported into the storm drain during high tide and serve as a final barrier against trash flowing onto the beach from the storm drain. The second phase of the project, for which funding has yet to be located, will replace drainage pipes on Avenida De La Playa from

La Jolla Shores to Camino Del Sol. The project is required by the state due to an expanse of ocean between Goldfish Point and Scripps Institute of Oceanography that is designated as an Area of Special Biological Significance (ASBS). “The area was designated an ASBS by the state of California because of the diversity of biological species and habitat, and because of its proximity to Scripps,” Nagelvoort said. “Because of the severely undersized pipe, there is localized flooding approximately once per rainy season. In addition to contributing to the rise in beach and ocean pollution, this flooding impacts traffic in the area, degrades the condition of the street, and erodes the boat launch area (at La Jolla Shores).” ■ In addition, $483,000 will be spent for the design of storm drains at 6453 El Camino del Teatro (near Muirlands Middle School) and at 9900 Campus Point Drive (Northeast of Scripps Memorial Hospital).

Oldies but Goodies

Veteran musicians still rockin’ out in La Jolla

By Dave Schwab ocal artists are taking their talents to the next level — and the next venue — in their quest to bring music to the masses. “We’re doing Hollywood concerts family-style,” said solo guitarist/ songwriter Rich McGee, who was joined by other musicians for an oceanview house concert at an Electric Avenue home in La Jolla April 14. “We’re up on rooftops, out in dive bars,” McGee said. “That’s what we’re planning to do in San Diego and La Jolla this summer.” McGee said he started playing guitar and songwriting at age 12 after winning a guitar at a baseball game in Savannah, Ga. He characterized his music as a “fusion that has rhythm and soul and generally relates a life story, mostly it’s ballads that inspire a sing-along or trigger a deep memory of a relationship, childhood, or loved one.” McGee said he’s played at numerous venues all over town, including House of Blues and Humphrey’s. He said the music scene in La Jolla, too, is expanding these days. “We’ve never seen rock ‘n’ roll at Jose’s Courthouse and now Roni Lee is there, and they’re also starting to

Scott West (top), Roni Lee (woman in sunglasses), Rich McGee (bottom) Barry and Catherine Canter, and Ray Conseur (lower right). have live music at Hennessey’s and the Prospect Bar and Grill in downtown La Jolla,” he said. McGee was joined at the April 14 gig by a number of other local musicians, including Scott West of The Scott West Band. West, from Austin, Texas, moved to La Jolla in 2007 from Sacramento.

He’s currently working on an album called “Austin,” that features Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Bandmates Tommy Shannon (bass) and Chris Layton (drums) with 2008 Best Harmonica Player Jason Ricci. In the past year, four of West’s music videos (“Cowboys & Aliens, “Room 413, “Standing On The

Laurie Lewis, Queen Divas, formerly a member of The Mamas and the Papas Moon” and “Keep It Clean”) have gone viral on Youtube. West has performed concerts this year with YES, John Waite, The Motels, The Fixx, Missing Persons, ASIA, The Killers, Niles Prescott (The Knack), Danny de los Reyes, Sting, Don Henley, Sheryl Crowe, Earth, Wind & Fire and more. La Jolla music promoter Ron Jones, owner of boomerdeejays.com, dropped in on the rooftop session. Afterward, he talked about today’s

changing music scene. Acknowledging contemporary music is becoming more niche-oriented and hybridized — but no less challenging for aspiring artists, Jones said, “There are so many choices, the pool is specialized, fragmented, diluted. It’s not like the old days when you had three stations all focused on the same thing.” Jones counsels contemporary artists to not only find their niche, but entertain realistic expectations as well. “You’ve got to define what making it is,” he said. “You can be popular with a few people, which sometimes is gratifying enough. But making it in the larger market — that’s the tough part.” Noting “the talent is still there,” Jones nonetheless pointed out, “The stages have gotten smaller.”

Sheltering ‘vile monstrosities’

Inside Account Manager Ashley O’Donnell

I have a suggestion. In keeping with La Jolla’s fine, Quality of Life downward spiral, why not sell out the Post Office (and all it’s history), and open up a weed-blower sales and service center?

On Feb. 6, 2012 the San Diego City Council (SDCC) voted 7-1 to approve the construction of a new home at 8490 Whale Watch Way in La Jolla. Its vote denied an appeal brought on by the La Jolla Community Planning Association, a group in which Councilwoman Lightner was a former trustee prior to being elected to SDCC. The City Council’s vote certified that the project’s negative declaration would have no significant impacts on the environment, as well as finding that an environmental impact report for the project would not be required. The project approved is the first North American project by internationally acclaimed architect Zaha Hadid. Hadid’s 350-person architectural design firm is headquartered in London. In 2004, Hadid became the first female recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, architecture’s equivalent of the Nobel Prize. In 2006, Hadid

In 2008, she ranked 69th on Forbes’ list of “The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women.” The 2010 TIME 100 issue named her as one of the world’s most influential thinkers and in the same year, the British magazine, New Statesman listed her in “The World’s 50 Most Influential Figures 2010.” Despite overwhelming support by the SDCC, city staff, and unanimous approval from the San Diego Planning Commission, Councilmember Lightner was the lone vote opposing Hadid’s project. As the council debated the project, Lightner sensed support growing against the unsubstantiated appeal by her local community group. She nevertheless continued to support the appeal with irrational arguments such as, “Due to the predominance of Zaha Hadid the project would create traffic problems in the neighborhood.” Additionally, Lightner implored, “Residents have found Indian remains while transplanting rose bushes in this neighborhood,” despite contrary evidence from the State of California and her own city staff. Now attorney Julie Hamilton, a familiar litigant associated with “nonprofit” groups in La Jolla, has filed yet another lawsuit. The list of groups that Councilwoman Lightner has supported and Hamilton has represented include, “Taxpayers for Responsible Land Use” (Hillel Student Center), “Save La Jolla” (Cardenas’ Patio), and “La Jolla Shores Tomorrow” (Whitney Residence). Hamilton’s suit seeks to overturn the 7-1 vote by Lightner’s colleagues. Hamilton’s cases are so predictable that she only has to cut and paste from the above mentioned cases to file the lawsuit against Hadid’s

It is sure to read something like this, “The project is simply too different and the city, in passing it, failed to consider impacts associated with the project to traffic, aesthetics, the environment and land use, particularly archaeology. The project simply isn’t compatible with this area.” Ms. Lightner, I ask you as a 40-year-resident of La Jolla to please stop supporting groundless appeals and groups that use our court system and the CEQA review process to circumvent the approval process and community plans in La Jolla.

Be assured: The felled trees will be replaced for the better By Dave Schwab Carol Olten of the La Jolla Historical Society said the eucalyptus trees that came down last week were planted earlier than the 1920s, as reported in The Light. She said they were likely among 2,000 palm, cedar and eucalyptus trees planted by La Jolla pioneers Frank Botsford and George Heald in the 1890s. Olten said Vonn Marie May, a historical landscape expert who does historical home designations, said the problem with the eucalyptus trees that succumbed may have been that they were of the less hardy Tasmanian variety. She said the Sydney variety of Blue Gum Eucalyptus isn’t susceptible to

the internal disease that felled the other trees. Egon Kafka, a director with the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) and a co-chair of LJVMA’s Design and Beautification Committee, said taking care of the public right-of-way is within the group’s purview. Kafka said the eucalyptus trees cut down will be replaced. “We’ll try to pick trees that will add to the beauty and character of the Village,” he said. “We’ll try to plant larger trees, rather than smaller trees, so we don’t start out with matchsticks. We place a high priority on having a healthy, urban forest (in town).”

OBITUARIES

Lorraine A. Salerno 1927-2012

Long time La Jolla businesswoman, Lorraine Salerno, passed away on Good Friday, after a lengthy illness. Born in Chicago, Illinois, she was the daughter of ItalianAustrian immigrants. She met her beloved husband Frank, in Chicago where they wed and began their life together sixty years ago. As was typical in their generation of ItalianCatholics, their lives were blessed by eight healthy

children. The family moved to San Diego in 1973 where they reestablished their roots, both in the community and their local church. One of her greatest joys was cooking for family gatherings. She showered those she loved with food, love and encouraging words. She was an adoring and supportive grandmother, known to all as “Nonni”. She loved to travel, realizing her lifelong dream of visiting Italy in 1985, where she experienced a sermon by Pope John Paul II. When most of her eight children were raised, she looked for another way to care for others. She recognized a need in the community for obtaining private home care services. In 1977 she sought to fill that need by pioneering the oldest private duty home care agency in San Diego County today, La Jolla Nurses Homecare and Registry. Since that time, her agency has provided nursing services

to thousands in the local community. A devoted wife, she was preceded in death by her husband Frank, in 2004. Her son Rich and her grandson Nicholas also preceded her. She is survived by her remaining children; Dominic, Mimi, John, Frank, Brittnei, Suzie, Robert, their spouses, as well as grandchildren Bryan, Daniel, Julie, Mike, Max, Sarah, Sophia and William, and her loyal Golden Retriever, Lido.

grand scheme to destroy the Village is ridiculous! And if you want to “save” the post office, put up the $3 million! The tree that fell over could have killed someone and if the city arborist thinks these massive trees posed a threat, then they need to be taken down before someone gets killed! James via lajollalight.com

One sick tree should not fell others Shame on City Arborist Drew Potocki for performing such a horrific examination (on one La Jolla eucalyptus tree) and assuming that eventually all these trees would fail. The La Jolla streets are not the same (without them). It is so depressing that the community would actually accept that this is a reasonable thing to do based on one tree.

Does his scientific examination always test based on only one reaction? This is a joke of a decision and I am beyond disappointed to be a La Jollan and see that other educated folks who live here do not stand-up for these lovely trees. LuLu Hermes Via lajollalight.com

Eucalyptus trees should have been trimmed Last week’s story, “City removes 90-yearold trees from Village streets,” is a scenario that pulls on my heart strings and stings my eyes ... I love trees, especially trees that are older than I am that have weathered much and could tell many stories. How can they just destroy them? Eucalyptus trees have shallow roots and grow very tall, indeed that could lead to the endangerment of surrounding edifices, streets and homes. But why remove so many? Not too long ago, I was walking along the sidewalk from ENCORE toward Kline Street, when I spotted two ladies with cameras taking pictures, enthusiastically, of the large eucalyptus tree that stands guard at the corner of Girard and Kline. When I reached them, they smiled at me and pointed out the fabulous markings and design on the trunk. Frankly, I had never seen this before. Living here for more than 50 years one does not pay that much attention any more, unfortunate-

ly, to the beauty of our surroundings. These natives of France, who were visiting here, had just been to see the seals and were in rapture over that, when strolling along Girard they found this old tree. I am viewing my surroundings more closely. Looking at these old trees with a more appreciative thought, I am appalled that they are being destroyed. How can we allow this to happen? Why not just trim some down, at least those that are not deteriorating. As I am writing this, looking out of my window, there is a huge eucalyptus tree across the street. Often I thought of it toppling over and on the roof of my neighbor and mine — my letters to the city to trim it, have been ignored. I sincerely hope that no white X marks the tree I just described at Kline and Girard. It’s painful. Isabella Miram La Jolla

Country Day’s Bamford, Plum get shot on national stage Winning the state championship for the La Jolla Country Day Torreys’ girls basketball is now reaping national recognition. Torreys’ head coach Terri Bamford was recently named one of four floor coaches for the USA Basketball national Terri Under-18 and Under-17 teams. Bamford Point guard Kelsey Plum, a junior, was invited to be one of 35 players nationally to compete for 12 spots on the nation’s Under-18 team. Plum, who will be a senior next season, is rated as a four-star prospect by ESPN. The two teams are used in developing players for the U.S. Olympic teams. “This is just awesome and well deserved for Terri and Kelsey,’’ Country Day Athletic Director Jeff Hutzler said. “The team had a great season and this is quite an honor for Country Day.’’ Bamford and Plum will both head to Colora-

do Springs, the home of U.S. Olympic Training Center, in May to participate in the national team trials. Bamford said she believes Plum, who scored 32 in the team’s state championship game, has a good chance at Kelsey making the team, a decision Plum that is made by a special selection committee that will evaluate performance during the four-day trials. This will be Bamford’s first time coaching at this national event, an honor granted by USA Basketball in consultation with college coaches. In 2011 Bamford was selected as Women’s Basketball Coaches Association District Coach of the Year. Bamford was also named to coach the west team in a WBCA national women’s basketball All-Star game presented by Nike. Bamford’s team went 32-1 this season and was ranked among the top 15 of all team’s nationally for most of the season.

DiMaggio, Doby, Stargell and Williams on deck for Forever Stamps From U.S. Postal Service Reports Four of Major League Baseball’s most revered Hall of Famers will be honored in the form of postage where they will be immortalized on 45cent First-Class Forever stamps. The stamps will be available nationwide after a stamping ovation 10 a.m. July 20 at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown. Appearing on the Major League Baseball AllStars sheet of 20 stamps will be Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees; Larry Doby of the Cleveland Indians; Willie Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates; and Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox. The stamps were designed by artist-illustrator Kadir Nelson of Los Angeles and are based on historic photographs. Phil Jordan of Falls Church, Va., served as art director. Joe DiMaggio Joe DiMaggio (1914-1999), nicknamed “the Yankee Clipper,” is known for his unmatched 56-game hitting streak in 1941. Those who saw him play also admired his skill and grace as a fielder and base runner. The son of an immigrant fisherman, Joe DiMaggio grew up in the largely Italian North Beach area of San Francisco. He and two of his major-league-bound brothers played on the city’s sandlot baseball fields. He dropped out of high school to become a teammate of his older brother Vince on the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League. DiMaggio soon attracted the attention of the New York Yankees, who gave up five players and $25,000 for him. DiMaggio joined the Yankees in 1936. In 1939, he hit .381 to lead the league in batting and won the first of his three Most Valuable Player awards. In his first four years with the Yankees, the team won four straight World Series titles. He led the team to another World Series victory during the legendary 1941 season of “The Streak,” a season also remembered for the stellar .406 batting average achieved by Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox. During WW II, DiMaggio missed three seasons while serving in the Army. When he returned in 1946, he helped the Yankees claim four more World Series titles during his six remaining seasons. His best postwar season was 1948, when he batted .320 and hit a leagueleading 39 homers with 155 RBI. During his 13year career with the Yankees, he led them to 10 pennants and nine World Series titles. DiMaggio was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955. During baseball’s centenary celebration in 1969, he was voted the sport’s greatest living player. He died on March 8, 1999.

Ted Williams Regarded as one of the all-time greatest hitters in Major League Baseball history, Ted Williams (1918-2002) of the Boston Red Sox was the last Major League player to bat over .400 for a single season, in 1941. He hit .344 over a 19year career, including 521 home runs. Born and raised in San Diego, Williams hit .583 for the city’s Hoover High during his junior year. At age 19 he signed with the Red Sox. At the team’s minor-league training camp, Rogers Hornsby taught Williams to study pitchers and to swing only at pitches in the strike zone, an approach that helped him win a Triple Crown with the Minneapolis Millers in 1938. In 1939, his rookie year at Boston, the slender 6-foot-3 Williams, nicknamed “the Kid,” led the American League with 145 RBI. In the remarkable 1941 season, which included Joe DiMaggio’s record 56-game hitting streak, Williams refused his manager’s offer to sit out a season-ending double-header to protect his .400 average, instead cracking six hits to finish at .406. The following year Williams won the American League Triple Crown with a .356 batting average, 36 home runs and 137 RBI. During WW II, Williams enlisted in the Navy and began a flight-training program after the 1942 season. He earned his wings as a second lieutenant in the Marines and became a flight instructor. He missed three seasons of baseball during the war. He also missed most of two seasons in 1952 and 1953 while flying combat missions during the Korean War. Despite the interruptions, Williams managed to win six American League batting titles and

four home-run titles, even though Boston’s Fenway Park was difficult for left-handed power hitters like Williams. In 1957, at age 39, he hit .388 and became the oldest player in the history of the majors to win a batting championship; he then led the league in batting again the next year at age 40. He even batted a more than respectable .316 his final season, in 1960, at age 42. Williams was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966. In 1969, he became manager of the Washington Senators. After four years, he retired and moved to Florida to fish. Williams died July 5, 2002, at age 83. Larry Doby Larry Doby (1923-2003) was the first AfricanAmerican to play on an American League baseball team, joining the Cleveland Indians July 5, 1947. For integrating the league just 11 weeks after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in the National League, Doby is recognized as a civil rights pioneer. He was born in Camden, SC, and raised there by his maternal grandmother while his mother made a living as a domestic worker in Paterson, NJ. He eventually joined his mother and attended Eastside High School, where he earned 11 varsity letters in several different sports. Just before graduating, he began his professional baseball career with the Newark Eagles of the Negro National League. After serving in the U.S. Navy as a physical training instructor during World War II, Doby returned to the Eagles in 1946. That year he helped them defeat Satchel Paige and the Kansas City Monarchs in the Negro World Series championship. The following year

he was batting well over .400 at midseason when Bill Veeck of the Cleveland Indians purchased his contract and brought him to the majors. Doby’s white teammates gave him a chilly reception and he spent most of his first season on the bench. But in 1948, Doby hit .301 for the season and helped Cleveland win the pennant. The next year Doby was elected to the American League All-Star team, which he made for each of the next six years. In 1950, Sporting News named him the best center fielder in baseball. Doby led the league in home runs and runs scored in 1952. Two years later, he again led the league in home runs, helping the Indians reach the World Series. In 1955, Doby set an American League record for an outfielder of 164 consecutive errorless games. When his playing days were over, Doby coached for the Montreal Expos, the Cleveland Indians, and the Chicago White Sox. In 1978, he was hired as manager of the White Sox. Doby was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998. He died of cancer June 18, 2003, in Montclair, N.J. Willie Stargell Willie Stargell (1940-2001) is best remembered for powering the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates to a World Series title. Standing 6-foot 2-inches and weighing some 225 pounds late in his career, Stargell twice led the National League in home runs (48 in 1971 and 44 in 1973), and was famous for smashing baseballs out of stadiums. At one point, he held the record for hitting the longest homers in half the National League ballparks. The left-handed slugger wound up his career with 475 home runs. Stargell was born in Earlsboro, Okla. During his teens, he lived in a housing project in Alameda, Calif., where he began playing organized baseball. In the late 1950s, he overcame racial intimidation while playing on some of the Pirates’ minor league farm teams in the South. Called up to the majors in 1962, he played 21 seasons, all for Pittsburgh. During the 1970s, the Pirates won six of 10 divisional titles. In the 1979 season, he tied for National League Most Valuable Player, then garnered MVP honors in both the National League Championship Series and the Pirates’ upset win over the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series. In 1988, the seven-time National League All-Star was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Stargell coached for the Pirates in the 1980s. He returned in 1997 as an assistant to the general manager, a position he held until his death in 2001.

LJYB back in the swing of things By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball La Jolla Youth Baseball spent the last week dusting off some cobwebs from Spring Break, but a lot of home runs were recorded too, so some kids went to the batting cages over the break. The next four weeks will really define the season and things get more interesting with tighter games, a more competitive atmosphere and of course, some drama. In Pony’s interleague play, all three LJYB teams — SDG, RBC and Rotary — are playing .500 ball. RBC and Rotary had an exciting game that included a three-run homer by Johnny Agbulos and a solo shot by Casey Mariucci to knot the game at 7-7. In the final inning, Austin Caulk hit a sacrifice fly to score his brother Chris to end the game in walk-off fashion 8-7 in favor of Rotary. Kevin Boermeester also hit one out for SDG over the weekend. On the Bronco Field, On the Inside Design is making their move with back-to-back wins over Mission Imprintables and Las Patronas. Sterling Hayes recently hit his first home run for Aladdin along with his slugging teammate Garrett Brown, who now has five to lead LJYB in that category. Mustang is known for long games thanks to the introduction of live pitching. The transition from the pitching machine to shaking off that

Marcus Scott shows his form. first “bean” can define a lot of players. Sometimes base running looks more like the Keystone Cops, but these Cops allow a lot of stealing. Mitch’s Surf Shop remains on top with a 7-1-1 record and continues to lead in runs scored and fewest allowed. Morgan Stanley and Pharmatek have matching .500 records, which explains why their last game went back and forth before

Pharmatek eeked out an 11-10 win in extra innings, holding their opponent scoreless in the last two innings. Pinto is ground zero for drama and with 12 teams in the division, there is no shortage of opportunity. Retirement Benefits Group, managed by Jim Duffy, is leading the pack and is the first team to score over 100 runs to date. In the last week alone, the following scores have been posted: 16-15 (Patterson Bike over RAK), 17-16 (SD Pools over PacVentures), 11-10 (Solis Chiropractic over Sector 9), 12-8 (RBG over Voices for Children), 18-17 (RBG over SD Pools) and 20-15 (Capital Growth Properties over Garden Communities in a real land grab.) With games this close and unlimited runs in the 6th inning, there is plenty of drama to go around. Inside-the-park home runs are not recorded in “Homer’s Alley,” but there were plenty and you can be certain that a lot of game balls were handed out for them. Reminder: PONY Day at Petco is this Sunday with the Phillies taking on the Padres. Last year, more than 400 LJYB kids and their families attended the game and enjoyed a parade around the field before the game. This year everyone will be sporting their new Padre uniforms so don’t forget to purchase your tickets at www.LJYB.org.

Is Her Beautiful Smile Good Genes, Or Does She Have A Secret? A smile so natural, only her dentist knows for sure.

Empowered

Eating her favorite foods, free to travel and live the life she wants. Not afraid to laugh or get close to the ones she loves. Many peers have missing or failing teeth, some even have dentures. How does she do it? Odds Against Us

Virtually every adult will lose a tooth in their lifetime. For many, the suffering doesn’t stop there. As we age, factors ranging from poor oral health to heredity often bring about accelerated tooth loss – so much so that the average American will lose 4 or more teeth by the time they reach 50 years of age.

Traditional Remedies

Consider this: MYTH:

Tooth loss affects a relatively small group of people.

FACT:

By the age of 50, the average Americans is missing 4 or more teeth.

MYTH:

Tooth loss is almost always a result of poor oral hygiene.

FACT:

Oral hygiene is important, but genetics and age are

MYTH:

Dental problems caused by gum disease and tooth loss resolve themselves quickly.

FACT:

Historically, alternatives to failing teeth often involved a lifetime of glues, creams and adhesives and often were accompanied by discomfort and changes in appearance – meaning the options for treating missing or failing teeth could do little to alleviate the physical and emotional discomfort of tooth loss.

ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers

Before ClearChoice, getting implants could take over a year and involve endless visits to multiple providers. Our state-of-the-art facilities bring everything together under one roof. The doctors, technicians and cutting edge technology needed for a fast, convenient result can all be found in one place. That is how ClearChoice can deliver beautiful smiles in just one day.*

Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth and are a modern alternative to dentures.

Your Satisfaction Is Important To Us

ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably. That’s why an independent survey of thousands of patients showed they would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others†.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants are now considered a “Standard of Care” when replacing missing teeth and are often a better treatment option than conventional dental crowns, bridges, partial and full dentures. Dental Implants have been proven to be a more successful long term option when compared to these more traditional approaches. The appeal of dental implants is very simple: implants look and perform like natural teeth and fit precisely without the need for adhesives. They are permanent and cared for just like natural teeth and restore one’s natural smile.

Yes, It’s that time of year again. It’s time for the annual La Jolla Half Marathon and La Jolla Shores 5K. Now in its 31st year, the La Jolla Half Marathon is sold out, but if you’re a runner and still looking for a fun event, there is still time to enter the 5K. The last chance to register for the April 29 5K is Saturday April 28 at the Runner’s Expo at the La Jolla Recreation Center located at 615 Prospect. As for the Half Marathon, despite all the slots being filled, it will be a busy morning as the race gets under way at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. From there, runners will head west on Via de La Valle and then make the journey south via Old Highway 101. Last year, the Half Marathon was won by 29-year-old Sergio Reyes of Palmdale, who completed the 13.1-mile race in 1 hour, 6 minutes and 44 seconds. The top time for the women was 36-year-old Redman, Wash., native Shelia Croft, who finshed the race in 1:22:55. The top La Jollan was Brian Lubeck, who ran the race in 1:23:51. The course will be the same as last year, with one caveat, which might slow down the runners as they near the end of the race. Here are the details: A portion of the route has been altered due to ongoing construction work on the new lifeguard tower in the Shores. “Runners will be directed (off the boardwalk) into the parking lot in the aisle nearest the construction area,” said Glen Rasmussen, spokesman for La Jolla Kiwanis Club, which hosts the annual fundraising event. “We’ll prohibit parking during the duration of the event. We think that’s safest for everybody.” Rasmussen noted the compromise arrangement closes one aisle in the parking lot while keeping others open for people using the beach on the south end of Kellogg Park. He added it also prevents runners from having to use the temporary boardwalk which might present a hazard due to sandy conditions. “We’re going to be putting up signs warning the public they won’t be able to park in the aisle closest to the construction area for the duration of the race, which wraps up about noon,” Rasmussen said.

Hammer Prep raises awareness for The Monarch School with race from Huntington Beach to Coronado Starting today, Hammer Prep will participate in the Southern California Ragnar Relay to help raise awareness for The Monarch School. Hammer Prep’s team of six runners is looking to cover the 200-mile course in approximately 25 hours (the goal is to average a seven-minute, 30-second mile). Each runner will be responsible for running roughly 35 miles (about 1.5 marathons). The race gets under way today at 3 p.m. in Huntington Beach and will finish Friday in Coronado. Though this will be a huge challenge for the Hammer Prep team, the run is not about them. It’s about raising awareness and money for the kids at The Monarch School. The Monarch School is a public K-12 school dedicated to helping San Diego’s homeless children break the cycle of poverty through education. “As a product of great education and owner of Hammer Prep, I’m a huge supporter of using education as a vehicle to opportunity,” said Andy Hemmerich, founder of Hammer Prep, which provides coaching for standardized tests and classes.

La Jolla’s Gems of the week

Moms Work Out Mornings along the shore belong to runners, walkers and this group of stroller-bound infants who get to watch their mothers stay in shape. — Susan DeMaggio

WISH I’D SAID THAT! Four high school boys afflicted with spring fever skipped morning classes. After lunch they reported to the teacher that they had a flat tire. Much to their relief she smiled and said, “Well, you missed a test today so take seats apart from one another and take out a piece of paper.” Still smiling, she waited for them to sit down, and then she said, “First Question: Which tire was flat?”

Now in the Vernacular Hackerazzi: noun; a person who breaks into a celebrity’s e-mail account or computer. — wordspy.com

TRUE OR FALSE? The name La Jolla was derived from the Native American name for “cave.” Artifacts found in the area indicate the presence of the Cahuilla tribe in a settlement near the shores more than 3,000 years ago. Maybe. La Jolla’s name is a controversial subject among town historians. No one knows where the name originated — whether it comes from the Spanish word La Joya (“the jewel”) or from the Indian term Woholle (“hole in the mountains”), an appropriate name considering the caves and rock formations along La Jolla’s shoreline. The name has appeared in all land grant and mission records since 1928 and in scattered documents at least back to 1870 when it appeared spelled “L-a-J-o-y-a”. In 1887 (considered La Jolla’s founding year) an auction of lots in the first La Jolla Park subdivision took place. — La Jolla Historical Society

Directors say ‘Hands on a Hardbody’ is unparalleled in American Theater today By Diana Saenger The La Jolla Playhouse’s April 27 season opener is based on the 1997 documentary film, “Hands on a Hardbody,” about contestants who compete in an endurance/sleep deprivation contest to win a brand new hardbody truck. After seeing a short preview of the musical it’s apparent this production hits the high notes in every way — solid story, amazing songs and terrific actors. “Hands on a Hardbody” is a world-premiere musical commissioned by The Playhouse for Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright Doug Wright (“I Am My Own Wife,” “Creditors”). Wright said he got the idea after seeing the documentary. “It’s a wonderful, sly piece of filmmaking because once you start watching, you think, ‘what a ridiculous premise,’” he said. “But then you see these profound truths emerging about where we are, our loss of identity and sense of squandered opportunity. Yet, we also see our spirit, resourcefulness and

The cast rehearses La Jolla Playhouse’s world-premiere, commissioned musical, ‘Hands on A Hardbody,’ with book by Doug Wright, direction by Neil Pepe. Dana Holliday tenacity, so I felt like it was a stunning portrait of our country in this moment, and I knew it was stage worthy.” In addition to Wright, an incredible team has been brought together to create the show: Amanda Green, music and lyrics; Trey Anastasio (of Phish fame), music; Neil Pepe, direction; Benjamin Millepied, musical staging; Zachary Dietz, music direction; Christine Jones, scenic design; Susan Hilferty, costume design; Tony Award-winner Kevin Adams,

lighting design; Steve Canyon Kennedy, sound design; and Playhouse resident dramaturg Shirley Fishman. Director Pepe likes that this is a “big American musical.” “It’s about the lives of these people and the music is eclectic with rock ‘n’ roll, ballads and folksy country blues. It’s not just themed at one audience, it will appeal to everyone.” While the story of strangers coming together in Longview, Texas, each hoping to change his life or her by winning a

new truck is compelling, the ensemble putting this show together have high praise for the music. Wright, Pepe, actor Keith Carradine (who appears in the show), and Playhouse Managing Director Michael Rosenberg couldn’t say enough about the team. “This is our 70th commissioned production and what we’re doing here is unparalleled in American Theater today,” Rosenberg said. Green’s lyrics can be found in productions like “Bring It On: The Musical,”

Broadway’s “High Fidelity,” and the revival of “Hallelujah Baby.” Peers consider her lyrics for Hardbody, “amazing.” “I wrote all these scenes I knew were destined for the trash bin, but I knew I’d get in return heart-stopping sentiments expressed in rhyme with beautiful melodies,” Wright said about Green’s talent. Anastasio is a founding member of the Grammynominated rock band Phish and drew high praises from the “Hardbody” creative team. “In talking with Amanda early on and listening to some of her songs, they were beautiful,” Pepe said. “And then they brought Trey (Anastasio) who has this incredible sensibility of rock ‘n’ roll songs and all kinds of music, so it became very exciting to want to direct.” Tony Award-winner Carradine plays one of the lead characters (JD) in the show. In addition to his huge film and TV résumé, Carradine has an impressive stage career. He said there were several factors that

There’s something so fresh about it, and the collaboration that is bringing it together. I haven’t come across anything in many years that captures this moment, and I’ve done a lot.”

Piquant flavors of Mexico City come to La Jolla at Puesto The taco on the left consists of chicken, cheese, pineapple, avocado, cilantro and tinga; the one on the right features beef, corn truffle, jalapeño, avocado, cilantro and onion.

Mexican Street Cup contains dried mangoes, jicamas, cucumbers, carrots, chile powder, lime juice and sea salt.

By Kelley Carlson ith the recent opening of Puesto, La Jollans only need to go as far as the Village to find Mexican streetstyle tacos. Owned and operated by brothers Eric and Alan Adler — both La Jolla High School alumni — the restaurant offers authentic fare with fresh, natural ingredients. Its urban atmosphere is created by an interior of reclaimed brick and wood, with bright accent hues around the dining room. Floor-to-ceiling murals by graffiti artist Chor Boogie represent a colorful “explosion” of candy falling out of piñatas. “We wanted people to feel like they’re on the street in Mexico City,” said Eric Adler, a first-generation American whose family hails from Guadalajara and Monterrey. Customers create their own unique meal, starting at a walkup griddle, and select from a base of tacos, salads or guisado (grilled meat) bowls. Meanwhile, tortillas of stone-ground maize are prepared before their eyes. Next, they may choose their grilled foods. The meats are allnatural; the seafood is sustainable. A number of vegetarian options not commonly found locally are available, from zucchini flowers and corn truffles to cactus and potatoes with soy chorizo. The next decision involves the toppings, which Each week you’ll find a recipe include jalapeños, vegetables, and tinga from the featured restaurant with hibiscus, online at lajollalight.com. chipotle and onion.

Side dishes can be added for an extra charge. Patrons can decide between chips, rice, black beans, vegetables and sweet Mexican corn. For dessert, customers may “sweeten up” with frozen horchata or the Mexican Street Cup, a concoction of fruit and vegetables topped with lime juice, chile powder and sea salt. To quench the thirst, there are draft and bottled beers, frozen margaritas, wine, Cool Hibiscus Tea, sodas and other assorted beverages. On Taco Tuesdays, tacos are half-price with the purchase of a beer. Those who need a little bit of assistance in making a decision from the seemingly endless combinations can find recommendations on the back of the menu. Eric Adler’s favorite meal consists of a taco with chicken breast al pastor with tinga and cheese, and another with carne asada and guacamole. Large windows provide views of The Athenaeum next door and various shops and businesses in the heart of the Village. Puesto tends to be most active between noon and 1 p.m. Families often come in around 4 p.m., “when they can have the place to themselves,” Adler said.

If you’re wild for mushrooms, check out these facts about your favorite fungi of the mighty mushroom, 200 in all, approximately 20 commercially grown, is an immune-boosting powerhouse with remarkable healing properties. Here’s the scoop on these sensational ’shrooms.

Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman

arvelous mushrooms — 40,000 species in all — were once feared by the ancients as a poisonous foe. Many Roman emperors allegedly were victims of death by mushrooms, including Tiberius and Claudius, along with Pope Clement VII, Alexander I of Russia and Abe Lincoln’s mom, Nancy Hanks, who succumbed after drinking tainted milk from the family dairy cow who ruminated toxic mushrooms. But the cultivated species

Wild Mushroom Sauce

Your family will go wild over this immune-boosting mélange that makes a great topping for egg noodles, mashed spuds, pasta or quinoa — or enjoyed straight-up as a saucy appetizer. ■ Ingredients: • 1 1/2 pounds assorted mushrooms, sliced (Portobellos, Oysters, Shiitake, Trumpets, your choice) • 1/2 red onion, diced • 2 garlic cloves, minced • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar • 1/2 cup red wine • 1 tablespoon Italian parsley, chopped • 1 teaspoon dried basil • 1/4 teaspoon each turmeric, ginger powder, rosemary, thyme • Cayenne pepper to taste • Spring water as needed

Grey Around the Gills The complex mushroom has a simple two-part anatomy: the underground mycelium that scouts for food for the fungus, and the familiar umbrella-shaped body or fruit called the sporophore. A series of small gills form under the cap containing the spores that allow the mushroom to reproduce by wind scatter. In a rudimentary form, mushrooms more closely resemble animals than plants as they “inhale” oxygen for metabolic functions and “exhale” carbon dioxide as waste. The fungal protein also mocks animal protein in its

■ Method: In a large skillet, sauté onions and garlic in the oil until glassy. Add mushrooms, vinegar, Worcestershire, herbs and spices and simmer with lid on for 15 minutes, adding spring water to keep mixture saucy. Add wine and simmer 5 minutes. Ladle over your favorite anything or enjoy solo.

Reflections of life at the 71-mark Notes from Zone 10 By Blayney Colmore

ord, Let me know mine end and the number of my days.” — Psalm 39 Around 2,000 years ago the Moche people built a society that incorporated the first real state structure in South America. It lasted more than 800 years — roughly from the time of the expansion of Rome (around 200 BCE) to the Islamic conquests (around 650 CE). Near what is today the Peruvian city of Trujillo, they built a city with streets, canals, plazas and industrial areas any contemporary Roman town would have been proud of. They left no written record, so we can’t know why suddenly in the 7th century, after significant decline, they disappeared. Best bet is climate change. The exquisite small ceramic sculpture of a warrior/god found among their ruins (pictured) suggests that, as resources became scarce, their previously productive world splintered in desperate competition for diminishing assets. (Source: “History of the World in 100 Objects.”) Tony Judt, perhaps the keenest observer of our postwar world, was diagnosed with ALS in 2008, causing him to accelerate his work. He wrote three books before his death in 2010, the last — “Thinking The 20th Century” (with Timothy Snyder, after Judt was totally paralyzed and on a ventilator), is just now coming out. Judt describes what he calls a very different agenda for our species than any we have ever taken on. Instead of bending our considerable intellect toward ever more dazzling technology to add luster to our lives, we will find our best efforts required to keep us from declining into the disaster and extinction that inevitably collapses every

As resources for the Moche people became scarce, their world splintered in desperate competition for diminishing assets. COURTESY

overloaded system. Yesterday I listened to a TED talk, “The Earth Is Full,” by Paul Gilding

(http://www.ted.com/talks/ paul_gilding_the_earth_is_ full.html) that describes our world in terms eerily like

those ascribed to the Moche people in their decline. Neither Judt nor Gilding doubts that we will do what is required. The question is whether we will begin to wean ourselves from our selfdefeating excesses before the collapse causes us to turn on each other like starving rats. Through no virtue of my own, I have lived a paradoxically simple life the past 16 years. (Well, as simple as a bi-coastal existence can be). No TV in our Vermont farmhouse, on foot in Southern California. Because I stumbled into ample resources that sustain me, I need neither iPhone, iPad, nor necktie. And I have never seen “Dancing With The Stars.” I have no illusions that living a life of such simple elegance demands unsustainable resources. Yet I have discovered — rather more happily at 71 than when I began, uneasily, at 56 — not merely the ability to forego wonders we so quickly come to consider necessities, but the unexpected delight in

the space left vacant. A common lament among my friends is that our children look unlikely to enjoy a more sumptuous life than we have. I am not prophet enough

to imagine how my grandchildren will live and work, but it may be that they will come to understand their need to curb the lust they saw driving us, not as curse, but blessing.

Last week, an otherwiseintelligent acquaintance from La Jolla sent me (and about a hundred other of his closest friends) an e-mail titled “REFUSE NEW COINS!” The all-caps subject line is usually a good tip off that it’s either an urban legend or some mass hysteria among the wingnut set, which was only confirmed by the 3-inch-high exhortation to “SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!” That always seals the diagnosis for me. In this particular screed, “true Americans” (Strike 3) were implored not to accept the “new” dollar coins that were intentionally missing the words “In God We Trust.” In doing so, the e-mail rants on, “Together we can force them out of circulation!” Actually, that won’t be necessary. They’re already out of circulation since they constituted some 50,000 incorrectly imprinted coins out of a batch of three million that the U.S. Mint struck in early 2007, and instantly became collectibles. I ascertained this in approximately three seconds by typing the words “U.S. coins without in god we trust” into my browser and

FROM 10 Questions, B1 We moved in 1977 to the Shores. What are your favorite places to go in La Jolla? WindanSea Beach, The Cove, The Cottage, and Baskin-Robbins.

getting pages of articles about the error — and the ongoing annoyance of the U.S. Mint plagued by the dingdongs who have persisted in circulating this story over the past five years. It’s just so easy to check this stuff. So why don’t more thinking people do it? The election hasn’t even started to get as ugly as it’s going to, but every day both sides throw out quotes allegedly made by the other side, which range from gross distortions to patent lies. When Rick Santorum, for example, quoted President Obama as saying that everyone should go to college (and calling him a “snob”), it was easy to type in “Obama speech on higher education” and instantly get both the text of Obama’s speech AND the actual video, which not surprisingly, showed he didn’t say that at all. But both parties are equally guilty of this. At this point, politicians seem to be confident that they are preaching to a nation of sheep — and I say that with apologies to ovines everywhere. As for Internet rumors, there are a number of easy ways to check their validity (snopes.com, for example). Still, I’ve received so many disheartening Internet rants — political and otherwise — from people whose intelligence I would hardly impugn but who seem inexorably committed to believe — and pass on — whatever shows up in their in-baskets. It just baffles me. Is curiosity dead? In the coming months es-

pecially, it just seems like the entire nation needs to get a Ph.D. in skepticism. If the first four months of this election year have been any indication, the next six are going to be a bottomless slough of disingenuous, invidious, dissembling, specious, obfuscating, fallacious perfidy and prevarication. On top of that, I think there’s going to be a lot of lying. We don’t have to believe any of it. We can fact-check it ourselves. So the next time someone sends you an urgent e-mai message exhorting you to spread the word that Medicare regulations now require doctors to ask if you keep guns in your home, that KFC can’t use the word “chicken” anymore since those paper buckets actually contain mutant bioengineered organisms, that Bill Gates will send you $1,000 for forwarding a specific e-mail to 1,000 people, that al-Qaida plans to blow up Fashion Valley Shopping Center on a certain date, or if someone sends you a loony screed misattributed to a famous person or the “secret” recipe for Mrs. Fields Cookies or wacky health tips alleged to have come from the Mayo Clinic — all e-mails that have ended up in my in-box — PLEASE DON’T FORWARD IT. But in the meantime, SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light. Reach her by e-mail at inga47@san.rr.com

LA JOLLA LIGHT - APRIL 19, 2012 - Page B17

Museum bursts into bloom at 31st Art Alive opening By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt undreds of museum members and other art-and-flower lovers gathered for the opening of The San Diego Museum of Art’s 31st annual Art Alive fundraiser on April 12. On display were creations by more than 80 floral designers responding to art works in the museum’s permanent collection, and many of the attendees were as decorative as the floral designs. Among the horticultural highlights were elegant interpretations of

the modernist kimonos and obis of Japanese masters Kuboku Takaku and his daughter Hisako in Gallery 12. Guests sipped champagne and tequila cocktails in the Rotunda, under a cascading tree of flowers created by Pacific Event Productions, and then went out to a flowerdecked tent in the Sculpture Court for wine, music, and tasty tidbits from restaurants like George’s, Eddie V’s and Mille Fleurs. The evening was a beginning to SDMA’s next three decades of Art Alive events.

James Clark and Mary Walshok, dean of UCSD Extension, with Emily Gladnick’s rosy version of Murillo’s ‘Mary Magdalene.’ Photos by Maurice Hewitt Pamela Hart and Gordon Brodfuehrer pose beside David Root’s black coral butterfly, inspired by Hisaku Takaku’s Kimono with Butterflies. Brodfuehrer is a member of SDMA’s Benefactors’ Circle; Hart met Hisaku Takaku in La Jolla 12 years ago.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, this information can be obtained from one of the following

two companies: LPS Agency Sales & Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting & Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www. priorityposting.com (Click on the link for “Advanced Search” to search for sale information), using the Trustee Sale No. shown above. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. P936596 4/5, 4/12, 04/19/2012.

OPEN HOMES THIS WEEKEND

Former Chopra Center on market for public auction The building at 7630 Fay Ave., once the international headquarters for the Chopra Center for Well Being, will be back on the market for public auction. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court has appointed a Chapter 7 Trustee for Fay Ave LLC, the single-member company owned by Dianne York. The building, constructed in 2003, has been the center of a troubled series of spas, including the defunct SpaMD.

Recent appraisals (from the court documents) have ranged from $5.5 to $6.5 million. The building is 17,874-square feet on a 14,000-foot lot. The property has several junior lien holders and mechanics liens, which exceed the highest appraised value. A meeting of the creditors is scheduled May 9, 2012. It is case 11-09603-LT7 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

From City of San Diego reports The property values in San Diego County have been dropping in market value during the last couple of years. Consequently, some property owners are submitting a request for review of their assessed value with the County Assessor’s Office. Ernie Dronenburg, the San Diego County Assessor, reminds property owners that the deadline to request a review of their assessed value is April 30, 2012. This year, the application for an assessment review may be submitted online at sdarcc. com It is a self-explanatory form and does not take a lot of knowledge about the law, only an understanding of the current market value of your home. Property owners who believe their property’s market value (as of Jan. 1, 2012) has dropped below its current assessed value, can file an application online to request the assessor to review their property’s assessment before this year’s bill is issued. As an indication of their current assessed value, an owner can reference the assessed value on their 2011-2012 tax bill.

Dronenburg also reminds the more than 205,000 taxpayers who were granted a reduction last year that they need not apply again this year as their assessed value of last year will automatically be reviewed. He concluded by stating, “If you are onlinechallenged and would like the paper-version of the application form, you can call our help number at the Assessor’s office, (858) 5056262, and a form will be sent to you by mail.

However, don’t delay because the filing period closes April 30, 2012.” All taxpayers who apply will be notified of the results of the assessor’s decision when the annual notices of values are mailed in July. If the owner disagrees with the assessor’s decision, he or she can file a formal appeal with the county Assessment Appeals Board. This appeal should be sent to the clerk of the Assessment Appeals Board, between July 2 and Nov. 30.
