Fathers reflect on impact of Ronald Troyer sentencing BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com The parents of three teens seriously injured when struck by a car driven by Ronald Troyer reacted to the news of his sentencing with a sense of relief — but not closure. Troyer, who was under the influence of marijuana when he drove his car onto a La Jolla sidewalk and then into a bakery, seriously injuring the teens and two diners, was sentenced last week by Judge William KronRonald Troyer berger Jr. to nearly 17 years in state prison.

on to improve trail BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com A decades-old conflict over alleged encroachments on parking spaces at Coast Walk has resurfaced with a longtime La Jollan calling for their reinstatement. “I want the parking spaces taken from the general public returned,” said Melinda Merryweather of La Jolla Parks and Beaches Committee, regarding six to eight spots located along Coast Walk, a dead-end street off Torrey Pines Road leading into the Village, which Merryweather claims are crowded out by vegetation and boulders. “There’s a car space on the end that has no guard rail in front of it,” she said. “What needs to be done is to take a little skip loader and take out the bushes and the boulders, get rid of the curb that was put in, and maybe

The vote denies certification of environmental documents and will require an environmental impact report for the mixed-use development. Bob and Kim Whitney want to demolish a one-story residence at Avenida de la Playa and Paseo Grande and replace it with 2,300 square feet of street-level retail space with parking underground and two condos above.

Seal supporters protest shared use at pool

A man walks towards the water on Saturday as the seals move quickly away from him. cluded representatives of Sea Shepherd, the Animal Protection and Rescue League (APRL) and La Jolla Friends of the Seals which operates a docent program at the pool. Rusmisel noted a small group of people have been moving onto Children’s Pool beach and flushing seals into the water “so that they can set up a barbecue and play Frisbee.” “Under federal law, that’s harassment,” he said. “We’re asking for the rules and laws to be enforced, keep the rope

up, and eventually, we’d like to see the idea of turning the pool into a sanctuary.” “It’s been so accelerated this year, the violations,” said Ellen Shively, president of La Jolla Friends of the Seals. David Pierce, director on the San Diego Council of Divers, reacted to Saturday’s rally: “They alert the media because that’s their only friend. I heard people laughing at them as they were walking through the streets. We’re for shared use, that’s city and state policy and law.”

Some of those who want the beach closed to people raise their hands in unity. Photos by Kathy Day The group of divers was on the beach — for the most part outside the barrier — before the march started at Girard Avenue and Prospect Street. Then one of them walked to the beach in his wetsuit, scaring some seals into the water before turning around to walk back to the area on the beach where they had gathered. Later, one man posted a sign inside the rope barrier reading “Beach open for swimming and diving. Respect the wildlife.” Before the seal proponents

BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com Chanting “shared use is abuse” and “just one beach for the seals,” more than 30 seal sympathizers rallied in La Jolla Saturday marching down to the Children’s Pool carrying signs advocating creation of a marine mammal sanctuary there. Organizers said in a press release the event was a “rally and march to stop the harassment of seal rookery at Children’s Pool/Casa Beach in La Jolla.” They have complained about those advocating public access to the beach who in recent weeks have been crossing over the guideline rope meant to separate humans and marine mammals. The rope has been up since Dec. 15 when the seals’ pupping season started and is set to come down on May 15. “Shared use, it’s not working to protect the seals or the natural ecology, so we’re here calling for ending harassment of the seals,” said Tim Rusmisel, who organized the rally which in-

arrived at the pool, a larger group of divers left the beach and entered the water from South Casa Beach. Still later, several others skirted along the far end of the rope — where there were no seals — as close to the bluff as they could to get into the water. Meanwhile, all of their actions were videotaped by the seal proponents, who made a point of letting TV crews at the area above the beach know when the marchers were there. At one point, one of them even made a point of telling

one cameraman to be sure and take pictures of the divers on the beach. There were occasional heated discussions about whose point of view was right and a silent moment with fists raised among those who want people banned from the beach because “noise upsets the seals,” one said. Back up at the march, Shively said shared use has had negative consequences on marine mammals. “What I’ve seen is fewer pups this year and a lot fewer pups and moms interacting during the pupping season,” she said. Tina Minier, a docent for La Jolla Friends of Seals, said she became aware of the problem at the pool walking by the beach seeing “seals being harassed by angry people who don’t want them on the beach.” “Environmentally, morally and ethically, that beach belongs to the animals and humans can go to any of the other 77 beaches that we have here,” she said. n To read the rest of this story and to comment on the issue, go to www.lajollalight.com

FROM TROYER, A1 He was convicted of driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, hit-and-run and a misdemeanor charge of driving on a suspended license. Santiago Aguerre, whose daughter, Alani, was the most seriously injured of the three teens, said, “It would seem all of us somehow should feel better — or happier — but I don’t.“ He added: “That afternoon he was out to kill somebody or hurt people … that day he just got to the end of a road of wrong after wrong decisions and it culminated

in a disaster for others — and for the rest of his life, too.” Lorne Polger, whose son Myles was injured in the crash, called the case “a sad commentary on someone who has lived their life completely devoid of any responsibility. It’s somewhat of a testament to the criminal justice system’s letting society down by keeping someone out of prison, not withstanding the many prior convictions he had starting back in 1963.” Michael Brininstool’s 15year-old son Ian, an actor in TV and theater, sustained a

broken leg in the accident but is now fully recovered. “I’m content with the sentence which was the aggregate of everything he’s done up to this point, paying for years and years of neglecting the law, showing a contempt for the justice system,” said Brininstool. He added he wished there were something “technological” that could be done, like installing breathalyzers in vehicles of people convicted of DUIs to ensure they don’t drive while intoxicated. “These things are doable, but the cost is so prohibitive

Thank You! On April 30, 2011 Ability Rehab staff members participated in the 2011 MS Walk. This year we had the privilege of walking with Dr. Jody Corey-Bloom’s team from the UCSD MS Center. We would like to thank those of you who already donated on-line or in person to the MS Society. The walk, benefiting the Pacific South Coast Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society was a huge success, raising $1,464,250.00 and counting! It’s not too late to donate! Go to www.mswalk.com or stop by our office for details. Your support will help the 400,000 people in the U.S. affected by this debilitating neurological illness, sometimes severe enough to cause paralysis or blindness and leaving many sufferers wheelchair bound.

derstand early in life that drugs and alcohol will not only change you for a few hours, they will slowly change you into somebody else, somebody you would not believe you have become: somebody that will disregard the law and what it protects, disregard known dangers and brush them aside until they become overwhelmingly critical and end up hurting many people.” Noting he “doesn’t have a lot of empathy for Troyer,” Brininstool added, “Still it’s a hard reality (for Troyer) to face up to hurting people and causing so much damage. And then to face a lot of time in prison … I just hope he does see enough time to protect people, that by the time he gets out there’s enough safety in place to keep everybody safe after that.”

Aguerre talked about the meaning of this incident — and sentence. “I hope the families involved and the community realize that this sentence is not about revenge or satisfaction,” he said. “This is about having to put somebody away that can no longer be trusted to behave correctly among our society, to keep us all safe from his outof-control actions. It is about trying to understand how we all can move forward from all this pain and suffering while learning a few more life lessons.” Asked if he felt there was a lesson to be gleaned, Polger said, “We need as a society to remain vigilant, and when it’s apparent folks like that aren’t taking responsibility for their own actions, that we as a community need to.”

I don’t think you’ll see it ever being implemented,” Brininstool said. The teens were hurt when they were struck by Troyer’s vehicle in front of Cass Street Cafe in Bird Rock about 7 p.m. on Aug. 15. Alani Aguerre, who was pinned underneath the vehicle after it crashed through the bistro’s front window, and Myles Polger requred multiple surgeries. Alani had several surgeries to repair her broken left arm and several broken bones in her pelvis and spent weeks in the intensive care unit.

Plan to replace one of Shores’ first homes stirs concerns BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com A battle of “historic” proportion is brewing between the new owner of one of the first Spanish-colonial homes built in La Jolla Shores and neighbors who don’t want him to redevelop the property in a more contemporary style. Some insist the home could — and should — be declared historic and its authentic style preserved. But Jack Nooren wants to convert the existing single-family structure on a corner lot in a multi-family zone at 8001 Calle de la Plata into a two-story, single-family home over a 635-square-foot garage on the 0.10-acre site. At the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee April 26, attorney Matt Peterson and architects representing Nooren laid out redevelopment plans for the property. Those plans drew numerous questions from advisory group members and an astonished response from a handful of local residents who pleaded that the structure be preserved. “You’re building a floor higher than mine, and with the nature of the building going straight up you’re going to be taking away any light coming into my house,” said John Armstrong who lives next door. “It’s going to change the whole posture

Right: Conceptualized view of the home’s remodel. of this area down here.” Armstrong’s son, Sam, pointed out to the review board the Nooren residence is one of four early Spanish-style homes built in the 1920s which “really defines the Shores as you go to the Beach (and Tennis) Club.” “The sad part of this whole thing is you’re losing what the neighborhood has been about,” he added. “The house/property was not (historically) designated and no appeal was filed: End of story,” replied Peterson, adding the Nooren remodel is unique in that there are no “seethroughs to the ocean,” so obstruction of view corridors is not an issue. Peterson added the Nooren redevelopment will be unique in anoth-

er respect. “This house will be sustainable with LEED standards and requires a certain amount of hardscape to gather rainwater and redirect it,” he said. At the design review hearing advisory board member architect Michael Morton warned the hardscape proposed in Nooren’s plans does not qualify as landscaping, which he noted is defined as “plantings in the ground.” Board member Phil Merten, also an architect, noted everything is geographically oriented toward the beach in coastal communities like the Shores. He also said the community’s planned district ordinance and its accompanying design manual were passed in the 1970s to pre-

At the end of the April 26 meeting Peterson jotted down a list of concerns raised and said he would address them with his client. He, however, stressed he didn’t believe Nooren was willing to deviate from his plan to redevelop the home in a Lastyle.

it’s about creating

Legion Post aims to document Mount Soledad memorial history American Legion La Jolla Post 275 is in search of any and all information related to the Mount Soledad Memorial. The call for information was issued by Post historian Roger L. McCollough. “We’re thinking of putting a book together,” said McCollough about Post 275, which has existed since 1924 and supported creation of the Korean War Memorial with its 29-foot-high cross dedicated on April 29, 1954. “I am thinking that there are stories, photos and people’s memories of special events that have taken place and there is no official record of those happenings. I am soliciting the general public for their stories, pictures and thoughts about the Veterans events that occurred at the Mount Soledad Memorial from 1954 through 1980.” McCollough is putting together a formal document for the group. Anyone with Memorial information is encouraged to contact McCollough at r.macala1@att.net.

FROM WHITNEY, A1 Attorney Lynne Heidel, representing the Whitneys, said her clients are reevaluating their position. “The Whitneys are thinking about their options … at this point it’s not worth going into — everything is deliberative,” she said, adding she felt a lot of misinformation about the project was presented by the opposing side. “There was plenty of information for decision makers to approve the project,” she added. Julie Hamilton, an attorney representing La Jolla Shores Tomorrow — which opposes the project claiming its scale would dwarf the surrounding business district and create a precedent for similar development — hailed the council’s decision as a reaffirmation of the people’s will. Opponents contend the three-story building’s Floor Area Ratio (FAR) — the total building square footage compared to the square footage of the lot — is excessive and out of scale and character with surrounding commercial development.

“The community of La Jolla Shores came together in a really positive manner to protect the community,” said Hamilton. “A lot of community members speaking felt very strongly: I think it made a tremendous difference in the outcome.” Regarding First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s stance requiring more environmental review for the project, Hamilton said: “She’s fought hard to protect that area. She’s smart. She knows the issues.” Vaughn Woods, spokesman for La Jolla Shores Tomorrow which formed as a nonprofit to communicate the community’s shared vision of the Shores’ future, praised the council’s decision. “La Jolla Shores finds itself at the forefront of a battle to retain community identity,” he said. “Let’s never forget that it can actually be fun to save a community when, as the saying goes, ‘the more the merrier’ takes hold.” Hamilton conceded she’s sympathetic to the

Whitneys, whom she said, “spent a lot of time and money on a project to have it basically sent back to the drawing board.” Approved in July 2010 by a city hearing officer, the Whitney project has since been subjected to multiple appeals. At the City Council hearing, Lightner cited several issues — archaeology, public safety, site visibility, alteration of community character — that she believes need to be addressed in environmental studies before a determination can be made that there are no environmental impacts that can not be compensated for. “Even if we prepared an EIR, there’s no guarantee that it would be approved,” the Whitneys’ attorney said late last week. “I have no sense from the hearing that this council would accept an EIR.” Hamilton said she didn’t feel, given the polarized positions of the two sides that a compromise could have been worked out. “They were just too far apart,” she said.

Grade 5 students from The Gillispie School prepare to embark on an overnight field trip on the tall ship the Californian. COURTESY

Gillispie School students ‘sail’ into history Grade 5 students from The Gillispie School recently “sailed” into the year 1774 for an overnight experiential field trip aboard the San Diego-based ship the Californian. While rotating through the roles of various types of crew members, the students cleaned the decks, hauled cargo, and assisted “indentured servants” with the preparation of meals. Students also learned navigation skills by charting a course from Boston to the Caribbean, and completed night watch shifts that ended at 1 a.m. Following a team-building exercise involving rowboats, student Sayeh Kohani said, “Rowing in unison and rhythm wasn’t quite as easy as we had anticipated. The captain’s direction and the chanting kept us going at the same rate. We learned that working in

unison as one body would take us far.” While one group rowed, another learned about the canons and other weapons used during the American Revolution. Students also learned knot-tying techniques and wrote letters home to their families. One aspect of Gillispie’s social studies curriculum is for each grade level to focus on a different continent to help throw into relief the history and geography of the United States being studied across the years; Grade 5 uses the continent of Europe to make comparisons. Remembered one pair of students, “We learned what early American sailors went through — tough work — to give us freedom today.” Part of the Maritime Museum of San Diego, the Californian is the official tall ship of the state of California.

narrow it down to four or five spaces and a turnaround.” A watchdog of coastal beach-access points who has been mapping and documenting their condition for years, Merryweather recently has been making the rounds of La Jolla community advisory groups pleading her case for removing plant and landform obstructions to Coast Walk parking. Merryweather said those obstructions can be traced back many years ago to La Jolla attorney Karl Zobell who put in trees and rocks to discourage parking near his former residence. “When we moved there 30 years ago there was paved parking space off Coast Walk adequate for two to four cars if parked behind each other, that’s still there,” replied Zobell. “There was also native vegetation, toyon and other local plants, that people used to drive into and damage or kill.” Zobell said the degradation led him to plant “a half dozen larger versions of the same plants.” He conceded it did discourage parking down there, noting that was the intent. Not everyone, however, living near Coast Walk agrees with Merryweather that parking needs to be restored or added there. Most agree though that the walking paths and benches in the area are worn and need repair. “Suffice it to say there is a disagreement on how things have turned out with parking space,” said Brenda Fake, spokeswoman for an ad hoc group called

staircase picking its way down the cliffside to a promontory with a viewing platform offering views of sea caves scooped by the surf out of the rock and sandstone bluffs. Wildlife abundant everywhere along the walk includes barking sea lions and elephant seals, winged pelican “squadrons” flying in formation and an array of sea birds. As you continue further north along the craggy coastline to La Jolla Shores, you’ll glimpse plenty of twolegged wildlife — omnipresent surfers, swimmers and kayakers in their colorful craft all communing with mighty Neptune. All along the path there are plenty of benches, stone and wood, to take a break, or just spend time hanging out enjoying the views. Hikers are greeted by a profusion of wildflowers and huge stands of cacti as well as La Jolla’s iconic tree, the Torrey pine. Native only to La Jolla and Santa Rosa Island off the Santa Barbara Coast, a large stand of the rare Torrey pines are preserved in a state park of

Friends of Coast Walk representing eight or nine residences. “What we want is restoration of the path that’s been deteriorating due to stormwater runoff,” added Fake, who noted there’s “a surprising amount of deterioration that’s gone on,” adding the city’s been hamstrung in responding due to the current budget crisis. “We’re planning a clean up of Coast Walk on June 4 to bring attention to saving our bluffs,” said Fake, who insists the wisest course to pursue at this time is to “address the safety and restoration of the bluffs before we consider messing with the whole ecosystem.” Noting people now are “more sensitive to the needs and history of our community,” Merryweather argues something needs to be done to restore, and preserve access to, this prime setting in the Jewel. “It’s one of the most magnificent views of the ocean from La Jolla — without a doubt,” she said.

Venter Institute is one-of-a-kind By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Those of you who’ve seen new construction next to La Jolla’s Allen Field and wondered what it was can wonder no more: It’s work beginning on the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) building project. The new, carbon-neutral laboratory facility on the UCSD campus at the corner of Torrey Pines Road where it meets La Jolla Village Drive/North Torrey Pines Road would make it the first laboratory building of its kind in the United States and will house approximately 125 staff and scientists, according to institute officials. The institute’s La Jolla staff currently is housed in quarters on Science Center Drive. “We received UC Regents’ approval for the project on Jan. 19 and have had the appropriate permits, etc. from the Coastal Commission and the city,” JCVI spokeswoman Heather Kowalski said via e-mail. “We broke ground on April 7, put up a fence, installed storm water protection measures and are proceeding. However, we did run into some issues in that we discovered a storm sewer which must now be dealt with.“ Kowalski added there were some other issues that have turned up “regarding nesting gnatcatchers and the need to reroute utilities. “These things all mean we are slowed somewhat in the process but we expect to begin excavation this summer,” she said. “When we have all these issues successfully dealt with it is our plan to make an official announcement about the project with details on the building and to hold an official groundbreaking ceremony.” Venter and his research teams pioneered genomic research, from developing new DNA sequencing technology to sequencing the first “free living organism,” and ultimately being the first to sequence and analyze the human

genome in 2001. They have continued to expand their horizons. Their “global ocean sampling expedition uncovered more than 6 million new genes and thousands of new protein families from organisms found in sea water,” according to the website www.jcvi.org. They are also doing work in the fields of infectious diseases, plant genomics, synthetic biology and bioengineering as well as having a policy center and education programs for students at all levels. Among JCVI’s latest efforts is employing the synthetic bacterial cell they created to design new sources of biofuels. The institute is a not-for-profit genomic research organization with about 400 staff and scientists in 20,000 square feet of lab and office space in La Jolla and Rockville, Md,.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Pizza Pronto adds California flavor Pizza Pronto offers a unique blend of the familiar and unfamiliar, billing itself as traditional Italian with a California twist. “We’ve been here nine years now,” said owner Sam Qadiri about his family-owned La Jolla restaurant at 7556 Fay Ave. in Sycamore Court. The restaurant, which just completed an indoor remodel, also offers outdoor patio dining on the food court. There are a number of diverse offerings on the eatery’s menu. “We have vegetarian food, kabobs, chicken and beef wraps,” said Qadiri, “We have pastas, salads, sandwiches and imported basmati rice not found in a lot of other restaurants in La Jolla.” Qadiri said basmati is special in that it’s long-grain, organic and comes all the way from Afghanistan. “We cook the rice in a different way that makes it healthier,” he said, adding he uses all homemade sauces along with the freshest, allnatural toppings. One menu favorite is pesto pizza with chicken and fresh onions and tomatoes.

Here is some information on how, with your participation, your La Jolla Town Council can get things done for you. Your Town Council trustees discuss and vote to take action on all the issues “within the geographical boundaries of La Jolla.” City, county and federal officials look to the Town Council as the voice of La Jolla. Our trustees volunteer to serve on a variety of committees and events.

What do you do when …? Do you ever wonder: “Why doesn’t the city fix this?” or “Why does the city allow that to happen in La Jolla?” What do you do when you need something taken care of in our community? Local news headlines during these past few years confirm that your Town Council is the most effective advocate for your interests. In addition to our engaging Sunsetter events at local restaurants, we also provide a community forum for ballot issues and local candidates. Here are some of the issues that have come before your trustees: • The pros and cons of a new Bird Rock farmers market;

• Aircraft overflights along the coastline; • Swimmers and seals at the Children’s Pool; • “No City Parking Meters,” traffic and parking issues in La Jolla; • “No Third Story” community consensus in Bird Rock; • Streetscape, beautification, parks and beaches, and public rights of way; • Development, permits and ordinances; • Producing and supporting community events; • Our Speaker’s Series’ exposition of issues of community interest; • Bringing residents and businesses together with our “Shop Local” campaign and • Preserving and enhancing the La

This is what I’d like to say to Sherri Lightner please: I’m not sure how Moss Lane in La Jolla got cleaned up, but it finally looks decent. I’m thanking you because it had to be due to efforts on your end. I passed the “no cost” permit to the renter of the home next door to the mess. I have not had a chance to speak with him to ask if he got the landlord to pay the private tree trimmers and landscapers to do what the city is truly responsible for. Beware ... the rest is simply a rant...(but all true) don’t read it if you don’t want to hear it. Your office is talking publicly about filling potholes now? Great idea — should have started a few years ago. I had to pay

$2,500 for new rims on my car and also bought truly countless tires. Maybe it is just better to pay every single city employee a $100,000-plus lifetime pension and FREE healthcare instead of filling the potholes. If many of them are getting over $100,000 in retirement why not the rest? Why not? Isn’t America the “land of the free”? Why not double or triple the pensions? The unions and their boss would like that. People get re-elected on good will numbers like that. Besides, what public-elected official ever got re-elected for have a spine anyway? Having a backbone is over-rated if an elected official wants to keep their own pension and elected seat. People want FREE STUFF, and it’s much, much easier to just give it to them. Oh, unless you’re not part of a union, then you need to pay for a city street to be maintained because you’re just a lowly taxpaying citizen for 51 years.

The La Jolla harbor seal rookery is a unique natural treasure which has been much abused by a few middle-aged male humans in recent years. Using excuses such as “a beach for the children,” “a shared beach,” and more recently an “open beach,” these people have repeatedly run the rookery seals off the beach using a myriad of tactics, from snorkeling directly in front of beached seals to flying a big birdshaped kite directly overhead. With collusion involving certain media individuals, the pro-rookery advocates have been cast as wild-eyed radicals. It’s time now for all La Jollans to recognize that the seawall was built on a rock-

complex called “Seal Rock,” and that harbor seals long ago chose this site as a rookery home. (The bold-faced lie that the seals of this rookery are all SeaWorld rehabs should be firmly refuted.) Wake up La Jollans and celebrate the existence of the only mainland harbor seal rookery in Southern California for its contribution to nearshore ecological richness and for the educational and entertainment value it offers to all of us.

respecting pupping season just makes sense The reason there are very few children and swimmers and divers on the sand at the Childrens’ pool from Dec. 15 through May 15 is that the lion’s share of us respect the pupping season and the negotiated shared-use rules. It just makes sense. However, from May 16 through Dec. 14 a family with children, a diver or a swimmer assumes great risk when following the shared use rules and going down to this great swimming beach. The new predator is known as “Pinnepedia Zealotta.” It has the characteristics of both pinne-

peds in that it barks, bites, spits and scratches, and, primates in that it stands on two legs and argues incessantly in a loud voice. It yells so effectively at swimmers, divers and summer beachgoing families that many parents stop bring their children to the beach due to the unsettling behavior of these hybrid “seal-humans.” Those of us who swim or dive in the ocean presumably have thicker skins than the average couch potato, but this behavior which I have experienced many times does ruin a day at the beach. For verification of this viewpoint ask the security guard wisely introduced by Sherri Lightner (our councilperson) to protect citizen beachgoers from this “Pinnepedia Aealotta” and/or the

Here’s a ‘what if’ for you Had the seals begun to move onto the La Jolla Cove beach instead of the Children’s Pool, you can be sure they wouldn’t be there now. I’m afraid this travesty is just another example of our willingness to discriminate against children. Richard Farson la Jolla

Temperature shifts prime immune response

Research Report By Lynne Friedmann

Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute have found a temperaturesensing protein within immune cells that, when tripped, allows calcium to pour in and activate an immune response. This process can occur as temperature rises, such as during a fever, or when it falls — such as when immune cells are “called” from the body’s warm interior to a site of injury on cooler skin. The study is the first to find such a sensor in immune cells. The protein, thought to be important in immune function, has now been revealed as a temperature sensor. Findings appear in Nature Chemical Biology. News release at http://bit.ly/jMpguD. ■ Biofuels research gets a boost The California Energy Commission has awarded $2 million to UCSD for research on the use of a variety of new kinds of biofuels to supplement or replace petroleum-based transpor-

tation fuels. UCSD is one of the nation’s leaders in developing technologies to turn algae into biofuels. The award is just the latest in a string of multi-million awards secured by the university for algal biofuels research. To accelerate the pace of biofuels development researchers will — for the first time — apply some of the automated genetic screening techniques used by the pharmaceutical and biomedical industry for drug development to finding strains of algae and other plants with traits that can eventually make economically-competitive biofuels More information at http://bit.ly/lTfwnE. ■ Watching West Coast sea levels Sea level has been steady on the West Coast of North America the past three decades, but there is evidence that a change in wind patterns may be occurring that could cause coastal sea-level rise to accelerate, according to researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD. Global sea level rose during the 20th century at a rate of about two millimeters (0.08 inches) per year. That rate increased by 50 percent during the 1990s to a global rate of three millimeters (0.12 inches) per year, an uptick frequently linked to global warming. Rising sea level

has consequences for coastal development, beach erosion, and wetlands inundation when combined with high tides, storm surges, and extreme wave conditions. News release at http://bit.ly/iJnTvt. ■ Electrical oscillations and the brain Biologists at UCSD have discovered that electrical oscillations in the brain, long thought to play a role in organizing cognitive functions such as memory, are critically important for the brain to store the information that allows us to navigate through our physical environment. Three types of neurons provide an internal GPS system to the brain. One type, called “grid cells,” has been shown to provide grid-like patterns for the brain to store memories of physical dimensions of the external environment. The current study showed that grid cells require precisely timed electrical oscillations in order to function properly. The work has implications for understanding the underlying causes of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and for restoring memory in areas of the brain that are necessary for orientation. The study appears in the journal Science. News release at http://bit.ly/mmeIhz. Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

I realize times are tough, but I still have to wonder where the San Diego Unified School District board spent a $1.2 billion operating budget with another $120 million in debt. Public education is the biggest investment we make in our future. It is time for reform in governance of the SDUSD. That’s why I support San Diegans 4 Great Schools initiative to fix our schools.

Seniors lead Knights to conference championship Group now wants to add a CIF banner By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com The Bishop’s School’s boys volleyball team made school history last week, capturing the team’s first Coastal League title. It marked only the second time in school history that the team had won their conference championship. The last time came in 2002 in the nowdefunct Harbor League, which was made up of mostly public-school teams. This year’s team may not

be much different than some of the teams head coach Tod Maddox has had in the past, but they had the ability to put it all together when it mattered most. “We kinda came together this year with these seniors who have been getting better every year,” said Maddox, who has coached the team on and off for the past 16 years. Boys volleyball at Bishop’s isn’t like many of the other sports where the studentathletes play in the off-season with a club team, honing their skills for when the high school season begins.

Phil Dailey Photo who is one of the few players on the team who does not play any other sport at Bishop’s. Among the eight seniors on the team’s roster, many of them will head to college in the fall to compete in a different sport. They include: Ryan Chong (basketball), J.P. Engh (water polo) and Tyler Evans (soccer). “As always for our sport, it takes some time to be successful because we don’t really have any club players,” said senior Adam Wrobel, who will play water polo in college at George Washington. “Once we got into league (play) we really started to pull things together.”

Not only did the team pull it together this season, they are also the No. 3 seed heading into the Division IV CIF playoffs. The Knights will play in the quarterfinals in Saturday at 5 p.m. against the winner of Escondido Adventist or Valley Center. Having many athletes on the team has been a boon, but also, it’s a group that has been playing the sport — thought not entirely dedicated — for some time. “The majority of us started playing together back in seventh grade,” senior Alex Sammon said. Coming into the season, the team had set some lofty

goals, winning a CIF title would also be a first for the school. “We were a little over-ambitious,” Sammon added. “We wanted the conference championship for sure, that was one of many things, but we really want a CIF title and we’re gonna start fighting for that this week.” Standing in the way of that goal could be No. 2-seeded St. Augustine, a team the Knights could face in the semifinals with a win Saturday. If they are able to win that, it’s likely that powerhouse Francis Parker will be waiting for them in the final. “The ultimate goal is to win a (CIF) championship,” Sammon said. But our first goal is to make it to the finals. In our opinion, we have the tools to be successful in a championship game, but our first goal is to make it there.” If the Knights do, rest assured that they will do it with their loose and laidback approach. “This senior class is a pretty cool senior class,” said Maddox. “It’s just this mix of kids, the girls (volleyball team) is different, they play all year round and it’s real focused. These guys come in and they play for three months. They are playing because they are having fun. In that sense it’s kinda refreshing and it keeps that old-school flavor.” It’s no wonder the team’s motto is short and simple: “Have fun and get the job done,” Wrobel said.

La Jolla splits with University City By Phil DailEy phildailey@lajollalight.com The La Jolla Vikings baseball team (9-13, 2-5) used a late rally to come from behind and steal a 2-1 victory over visiting University City last week, but fell short Monday in a 9-2 loss to the Centurions. In the first game, starting pitcher Tyson Youngs threw four scoreless innings before giving way to an aching back. Eric Pitrofsky came in relief and kept the Vikings close until the offense could break through in the bottom of the 6th. Max Needham led off the sixth inning with a single to left field and with one out, Kevin Usselman hit a single to right field advancing Needham to second base. Jimmy Meyerott then stepped to the plate and lined a single to right center field to bring home the tying run. Spencer Manlapig capped off the scoring with a deep sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Usselman with the go-ahead run. Bradley Zimmer pitched a scoreless 7th inning, earning

LJYB thanks moms on gameday Mother’s Day weekend is a great time to thank all of the moms who log countless hours at the Cliffridge Fields, not to mention the dozens of round trips and all the things that go into raising a baseball player. It is a fun tradition in LJYB for the coaches to turn the teams over to the real brains of the organization — the moms — who take the field and manage the teams. It is funny to observe a Type-A coach sitting in the stands biting his lip and trying to stay out of the dugout. Meanwhile, the moms are having a blast with the kids and they make winning look easy. Taking a tough loss in stride is a teachable moment and that’s when “mommy magic” — and post-game Crispy Kreme Doughnuts - really shines through as Trish Ryan spoke with her team following Harry’s Coffee Shop’s dramatic come-from-behind walk-off win over Alexandria’s Green Machine. “It’s OK boys — it’s 7-year-old baseball!” The photo with the team’s moms doesn’t look like a team that just dropped out of first place. Random acts of kindness were evident elsewhere on the field with Coach Doug Blackburn’s Aviators, where each mom was sporting a custom pink “LJ” coaches hat. The players on Coach Bryce Goldman’s team presented each mom with a long stem red rose following their game. The camaraderie and festive environment made for a great Mother’s Day tradition at LJYB. The “Player of the Week” is Luke Bucon of

RBC in Pony. In a recent game against the Bears of North City, Luke went 5-for-5 (two doubles & three singles), scored 3 and knocked in one RBI. On the field he threw three no-hit innings in a solid 10-2 victory. In the same game Brandon Bonham hit a towering 315-foot homer that actually hit a passing car, so let’s hope his insurance is up to date. The Dick Enberg “Oh My!” Play of the Week has to be Caden Fioroni’s unassisted triple-play for Baxter Foundation in Pinto. Picture this: With runners on 1st and 2nd base and no outs, a hard line drive is hit right to Caden at shortstop and the runners are moving. He makes a great catch for one out, tags second base double-up the runner who left the bag and proceeds to tag out the runner coming from 1st base to complete the unassisted triple play. “Oh My!” (Base running tip: Freeze on a line drive until it has cleared the infield and hold or go half way on a fly ball to make sure you don’t get doubled up on the catch — or tripled up in this case.) LJYB Trivia: What does “CONA” stand for on the Aviators jersey of Jeff Lang Homes’ Pinto team? According to Coach Doug Blackburn (US Navy Commander retired) and a Naval aviator himself, CONA honors a “Century of Naval Aviation” which is being celebrated this year. Go Navy! —Tom Murphy, LJYB

Sally Ricchiuti readies Kind to Nine benefit for La Jolla fire fighters Sally Manchester Ricchiuti was born and raised in La Jolla. She graduated from La Jolla High School and attended the University of Colorado to earn a bachelor’s degree in sociology and communications. After Sally college, she worked for Ricchiuti MTV Europe in London, which led to a broadcasting career at several radio stations. Ultimately, she went into sales at a CBS affiliate only to follow a yearning to come back to La Jolla and start a family. Ricchiuti and her husband, Greg, have three children — Molly, 13; Maggie, 8; and Vincent, 6. Currently, Ricchiuti is working toward a complete interior overhaul of Fire Station No. 9 at Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Parkway. She said the Witch Creek Fires of 2009 prompted her to visit this station to thank the first responders. Because of its critical location at the “artery” into La Jolla, the station is critical as one of only two sites with mass casualty equipment. After seeing the condition of the building, she decided to help update the living conditions. To that end, the Ricchiutis plan to hold a 10-year 9-11 Memorial Fundraiser with proceeds going to Station No. 9 on Saturday, Sept. 10 at the La Valencia Hotel. For details, visit kindtonine.org What brought you to La Jolla? I have been blessed to grow up here and raise our family here! What are your favorite places in town? I love the beautiful views from the La Valencia Hotel. It’s amazing that we get to call La Jolla home. We love the beach and family bike rides.

Coastal couple publishes candid book to bring about ‘Sea Change’ BY KIRBY BROOKS a Jolla High School alum Duffy Healy (Class of ’86) nurtured his love for the ocean growing up surfing local breaks and met his match in wife Elizabeth, a Laguna Beach native who shares his desire to protect the ocean. The couple, who now call San Clemente home, have come to realize that while they belong to a community of ocean conservationists, that simply isn’t good enough. The Healys are now raising awareness about the dire issues facing the world oceans in a new book, “Sea Voices, Working Toward a Sea Change.” “We have been on the board of Oceana for years, but the idea for the book occurred to us while attending a fundraiser called “Sea Change in Laguna Beach,” Elizabeth said. “These fundraisers are very exclusive and cost a lot of money to attend. And while they do raise money for ocean awareness, it is almost as if the speakers are preaching to the choir because everyone shares that interest already.

Elizabeth and Duffy Healy traveled the globe to gather the thoughts of marine experts for their new book on the state of the Earth’s oceans, ‘Sea Voices.’ COURTESY Duffy and I wanted to round up athletes, authors, musicians and celebrities to generate even more attention.” The couple interviewed 138 people for “Sea Voices,” which is written in a questionand-answer format. The book boasts interviews with ocean experts like famous female oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle, Dr. Robert Ballard (noted for discovering the

Titanic), Captain Paul Watson from Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (you may know him from the TV show “Whale Wars”) author and ecologist Carl Safina, British adventurer David de Rothschild, Jacques Cousteau’s grandchildren Alexandra and Fabien Cousteau, and many others.

The Healys also sat down with musicians like Jack Johnson, San Diego native Jason Mraz, Garret Dutton (aka G Love), Yoko Ono, Stefan Lessard (of the Dave Matthews Band) and Ziggy Marley. Environmentally conscious actors like Daryl Hannah, Ted Danson, Q’orianka Kilcher, Isabel Lucas, Kate Walsh, Sam Waterson, Keely and Pierce Brosnan, and others were also eager to chat about why protecting the ocean is of such vital importance to all. The couple spent two years traveling the globe conducting the interviews and also chatting with 10-Time World Champion Surfer Kelly Slater; surfers and Patagonia ambassadors Chris, Dan and Keith Malloy; San Diego-bred surfer Chris Del Moro; skateboarding star Tony Hawk; Robert Kennedy, Jr.; author Amy Tan; filmmaker Louie Psihoyos (of the Academy Award-winning documentary “The Cove”); royalty from Nigeria and

His advice about overfishing was, ‘Become involved. Don’t be cynical. Be informed. No one has the luxury anymore to sit back and do nothing.’” The message of “Sea Voices” is that while the ocean seems infinite and indestructible, it is facing numerous challenges. Those

lucky enough to live near the ocean interact with it daily, and often take its presence for granted. “Sea Voices” exposes threats like overfishing (which is causing major imbalances in ecosystems), coral reef destruction, sea levels rising, biodiversity loss, shark finning, and ocean acidification.

The book also delivers staggering statistics (according to Dr. Sylvia Earle, for example, 90 percent of the major species of the ocean have been removed in the last 50 years!), but isn’t all doom and gloom. Marine Protected Areas are being assigned around the world and are showing positive results. “Our main message is that we can all do our part to protect the ocean,” said Duffy. “We’re big on activism through the Internet.

spring Vegetable Composition

Nobody does fresh, fun and fancy California fare quite like Blanca olive oil Poached Halibut with artichoke, Meyer lemon and nettle emulsion

executive Chef Gavin schmidt pays attention to detail as he prepares the dish still life of local Waters, right, with spot prawn, uni, oyster, smoked avocado and Dashi vinaigrette.

Blanca’s exterior and interior are decorated with soft, neutral colors.

By Kelley Carlson lanca means “white” in Spanish, but the Solana Beach restaurant is green in the selection of its ingredients. “Pretty much every single ingredient (we use) we have sought out local,” said Executive Chef Gavin Schmidt. He described foraging for some of the items — harvesting seaweed from the ocean, gathering nettles in the canyons — often before arriving at work, with the help of the sous chef. Schmidt also visits nearby farms and farmers markets daily, ensuring freshness of the ingredients. The most local items are obtained from Blanca’s own property — the restaurant has a garden consisting of herbs and other edibles such as radishes, turnips, finishing greens (watercress, etc.) and cherry tomatoes. The ingredients are then incorporated into a menu featuring California cuisine. For the table, offerings range from Heirloom Wisconsin Black Popcorn, to the House-Made Charcuterie Plate, containing delicacies such as duck liver mousse, lamb prosciutto and soppresatta, a type of Italian sausage. There is also bread that is made in-house. Individual portions on the menu will satisfy vegetarian, meat and seafood lovers alike. A Spring Vegetable Composition includes chamomile-infused yogurt. The restaurant’s signature dish, Grilled

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: Blanca’s Olive Oil Poached Halibut with Artichoke, Meyer Lemon and Nettle Emulsion Neville Ranch Berkshire Pork, A Day on the Farm, is composed of seven parts from a pig, along with baby vegetables from seed to flower. Schmidt’s personal favorite is the Still Life of Local Waters, which has an “underwater” appearance and features spot prawn, uni, oyster, smoked avocado and Dashi vinaigrette. Guests who can’t decide on one dish can order Choice of Four Courses, Chef’s Tasting Menu and the Vegetarian Tasting Menu, which showcase the best of Blanca’s dishes on a scaled-down version. While there isn’t a special menu for children, Schmidt said there are kid-friendly entrees such as burgers, pizzas and pastas that are available to order. But desserts are for everyone. There’s Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Truffle Cake and Trio of House Made Ice Cream or Sorbet,

among others. For drinks, Blanca offers a full bar, including specialty cocktails such as Green Apple Fuzz and Blanca Brace-Up (Bulleit Rye Whiskey, Absinthe by Pernod, Peche de Vigne, aromatic and orange bitters and gum syrup). The restaurant also has about 500 international wines, sparkling wines and Champagnes. Schmidt and owner Seth Baas have planned wine pairings for each dish offered at Blanca, but can cater to people’s needs and preferences. Patrons may enjoy their food and beverages in several areas. The main dining room, decorated in soft, neutral colors with lanterns hanging overhead, can accommodate 65 people. A private dining room, which has an outdoor patio, a 52inch plasma monitor and an iPod docking port, allows for up to 22 guests. The snacks, light entrees and cocktails of happy hour can be enjoyed at the bar, which has 14 chairs, or in the 30-seat lounge, with cushioned seats, pillows, a coffee table and a TV. Occasionally, there is live jazzy, mellow music that can be heard throughout the establishment. While reservations are not required, they are recommended for weekends, especially during the summer. Special wine and farmers dinners that are open to the public are held sporadically throughout the year. The menus are usually prix fixe, from four to eight courses.

FROM PHOTO, B1 Third place went to fourthgrader Sophia Konstas-Stone for “Big Awesome Thing-ee.” Coordinated by Historical Society office manager Kristina Gibbons and new board member Jennifer Harter, the photo contest was intended to encourage students (kindergarten through 12th grade) to gain a better appreciation of their celebrated community through the camera lens. Students were asked to submit original photographs of La Jolla’s historic structures, natural environment, or related subject matter that symbolized the town’s rich heritage. A standing-room-only crowd attended the April 25 awards ceremony. Judging the more than 100 entries were Alan Decker, a veteran photojournalist; David Fokos, a fine art pho-

tographer whose black and white images are masterpieces of minimalism and featured in galleries around the world; Bill Kenney, owner of La Jolla Photo & Imaging; and Bil Zelman, a celebrity/ lifestyle photographer whose work has appeared in magazines, including Rolling Stone and GQ. Dewhurst & Associates served as the contest’s title sponsor, joined by La Jolla Photo & Imaging, Outside the Lens, City National Bank, and Nelson Photo. The photographs will remain on exhibit from noon to 4 p.m. Thursday-Sunday at Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. through May 31.

true or false? The Prado in Balbo Park will host the La Jolla High School prom. True. The event starts at 8:30 p.m. Friday, May 20. Historically, reference to “proms” extends way back to the mid1800s, but the event wasn’t given its official name until 1890 when it was christened “the prom,” an abbreviated term for a promenade or march, typically performed at the beginning of a formal event. Today’s proms are an offshoot of the debutante balls the wealthy held for their teen-age children. The middle class saw the success of these events and wanted their teens to have a similar social experience. — azteenmagazine.com

Philanthropy Leadership in Training

Can a high school student make a big change in the community? Yes! Philanthropy Leadership in Training (PLT) is a selective one-week leadership program from 25-29.

The teens build friendship and leadership skills as they participate in service activities and interact with community leaders throughout the week. They explore their own values within a Jewish context, and conduct site visits to local nonprofits. The program culminates with teens allocating thousands of dollars to community organizations. This is a great way to gain experience and also boost leadership skills for college! It is sponsored by the JCC and the Jewish Community Foundation. Contact www.jcfsandiego.org for more information about PLT, or to apply for the $3600 Peter Chortek Leadership Award for teen community service.

The artistic Phelans of La Jolla are a family who plays together By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Victoria Martino was raised in a home filled with music and art. Her mother, Ellen Phelan, a noted art educator and collector, was docent chair at La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art (now MCASDLJ) and developer of the museum’s Art to Schools program. Her father, James Phelan, played viola, violin and piano, taught music and art for San Diego Unified School District, and was tenor soloist at the Congregational Church of La Jolla for some 30 years. So Martino had the perfect background for becoming the internationally respected violinist and art historian she is today. “I lived and breathed art and music from the time I was born, so I didn’t consider it anything extraordinary,” Martino said. “It seemed perfectly normal to go up to UCSD to hear experimental music or over to La Jolla Shores for an Allan Kaprow happening.” Every Saturday, her father took

Marriage to the Australian violist Simon Oswell took her to Tasmania, where she formed her own string quartet. Then she was offered a performance fellowship to USC, which led to a European tour with the L.A. Baroque Orchestra. A stop in Vienna brought her the opportunity of a lifetime — an invitation to join two renowned musical ensembles and another to create the catalog for a major art exhibition. Her acceptance began a 10-year stay in Vienna and a new marriage to the director of the Albertina Museum, Konrad Oberhuber, who had once been her art history professor at Harvard. At the Albertina, she curated several international art shows and founded a chamber ensemble. She also began commissioning music

from contemporary composers, including her father, who had started composing seriously after his retirement from the city schools. Several of his pieces were subsequently performed at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and Carnegie Hall. In 2003, after two years in Japan, where Oberhuber had a guest professorship, the couple returned to California, where their young daughter Beatrice (named for Dante’s muse), would have a chance to get to know her grandparents. Since then, Victoria Martino has presented lecture/concerts in Los Angeles and La Jolla, including an annual series at the Athenaeum in which she explores the interrelationship of music and art throughout history. This year’s series, which started May 3, deals with the post-World War II era, decade by decade.

onders of the World,â&#x20AC;? the 20th anniversary Spinoff: Auction for Life was held May 5 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine. Abeer Hage and Karen Fine co-chaired the event in support of cancer programs and services at Scripps Cancer Center, Stevens Division at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. To purchase luxury items and once-in-alifetime travel packages at the party, guests used a new hand-held bidding system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; BidPal. In 1980, John S. Trombold, M.D., helped launch the first Spinoff event as a tennis tournament at the San Diego Tennis and Racquet Club. The auction was added in 1991. Today, although no longer a tennis event, Spinoff continues as an auction to benefit lifesaving cancer care, paying homage to its tennis roots through its name. Photos by Daniel Dreifuss

Bravo! Bravo! George Bizet’s “Carmen” (last performed here in 2006) will close the 2011 San Diego Opera season when it opens 7 p.m. Saturday, May 14 for four performances — 7 p.m. May 17, 8 p.m. May 20, and 2 p.m. May 22. Carmen is one hot gypsy, but play with her and you will get burned. Naïve young soldier Don José falls for her, leaving his sweetheart Micaëla for a life of crime with Carmen’s gang of gypsy smugglers. But when Carmen callously drops José for superstar “Toreador” Escamillo, his jealousy ignites, bursting into an emotional bonfire that could destroy them all. American tenor Richard Leech will sing the role of Don José, joined by Georgian mezzo soprano Nino Surguladze as Carmen, soprano Talise Trevigne as Micaëla, and baritone Wayne Tigges as Escamillo. Music will be conducted by Edoardo Müller and the opera directed by Sonja Frisell. Tickets from $35 at (619) 533-7000 or sdopera.com

‘A Dram of Drummhicit’ premieres at the Playhouse BY DIANA SAENGER Playwrights Arthur Kopit and Anton Dudley’s world premiere musical, “A Dram of Drummhicit” opening May 17 at the La Jolla Playhouse, is based on an article in the London Times about fairies stopping a construction project in Lucas Hall as Scotland. ‘The Fixer.’ Artistic Director Christopher Ashley helms the comedy that runs in the Mandell Weiss Theatre

through June 12. The story evolves around Robert Bruce (Murphy Guyer from Broadway’s “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown”), an American entrepreneur who is building a luxurious golf course on an island in Scotland. When major problems “arise,” Bruce beckons his “fixer” Charles Pearse to come to Scotland. “It seems there’s a report about bog bodies popping up and stopping the construction,” said Lucas Hall, who plays Charles. “So I must fix the problem. And this is a real occurrence that

Audiences will find much mirth in the mythical merriment of ‘A Dram of Drummhicit.’ COURTESY PHOTOS happened around these islands, as the bodies buried there didn’t decompose because of the iron chemicals in the ground and they would occasionally pop up in the brine.” Although it sounds like a horror story “A Dram of Drummhicit” is far from it. The hint’s in its title — dram meaning a “wee bit” and Drummhicit, a fictional name for Scottish ale. Also, many of the scenes take place in a pub. Hall has performed OffBroadway and in the tour of “The Merchant of Venice,” “Othello,” “The Hasty

Heart” and “The Tempest,” among others and twice at the Old Globe. He said he couldn’t remember the last time he’s had so much fun working in a play. “Part of it is my character. He goes on such a wild journey. In the beginning, of course, I don’t believe in fairies, but at what point does one get over one’s cynicism and go with the flow because you believe it so strongly? I also love this story because it’s magical and mythical and the characters are so exciting. “The story requires a big cast because it’s important

to create the community of the town in Scotland, and who these people are. We’re lucky to use a lot of UCSD students — some have roles that were in the script and some are just used in pub scenes. I’m impressed by their abilities; they are all fabulous.” Hall said the cast is also fortunate that playwright Arthur Kopit (“Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ So Sad,” “Indians” — Tony-nominee, finalist for Pulitzer Prize and “Wings” — Tony-nominee, finalist for Pulitzer Prize) is on the set. “He’s got the answers to anything and is so accessible,” Hall explained. “And there’s a great collaboration between Chris, Arthur and the actors. Having them on board to enhance a scene is great. Chris is wonderful at finding a moment and giving you one little note that opens an entirely different chapter into the character.” Although the play contains strong language
