Merchants Association to lead Belvedere project By Pat Sherman he 1,250-member La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) will be taking a leadership role in a multi-million dollar revitalization project at Prospect Street and Girard Avenue. During its May 9 meeting at the Cuvier Club, the LJVMA board voted to oversee the long-proposed Belvedere Promenade project on Prospect Street, which the La Jolla Town Council gave its blessing to in February. Designed by architect James Alcorn more than two decades ago, the project would replace an existing one-way section of Prospect Street between Herschel Street and Girard Avenue with an oceanview pedestrian promenade. “It needs a substantial fund-raising campaign at some point when it starts to get planning approval,” said LJVMA President Phil Coller. Board member Jim Niebling said that Alcorn, whose firm is working to secure a coastal development permit, contacted merchants in the immediate vicinity to receive their buy-in. “The response has been positive,” Niebling said. “There’s even some who have expressed interest in a partial sponsorship.” Coller said the LJVMA could possibly provide some seed money for the project from its business improvement district funds. A subgroup of the LJVMA’s economic development committee would be formed to oversee the Belvedere Promenade, Coller said.

Post office task force pushes for quick legislative assistance By Pat Sherman Members of the Save the La Jolla Post Office Task Force are leaning on legislators to help them save La Jolla’s cherished Wall Street post office from having its services relocated, and the historic building sold — the fourth such effort to keep the post office where it is since its dedication in 1933. Newly installed task force member Jim Lantry, a local lobbyist and owner of Creative Legislative Solutions, suggested at the May 11 meeting that the task force

ask congress members to insert language into the 21st Century Postal Service Act of 2012 allowing the La Jolla Historical Society to purchase the building with a leaseback option of 10 years. The portion of the building not utilized by USPS could then be used by community organizations, such as the historical society and/or the La Jolla Music Society, that have shown strong interest in partnering in the venture.

Town Council welcomes new executive director and trustee By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Town Council’s (LJTC’s) board of directors voted to approve financial services professional Julie Duepner as its parttime, volunteer executive director at its May 10 meeting. Duepner, whose background includes a stint as community relations manager for former banker and one-time San Diego mayoral candidate Peter Q. Davis, will staff the council’s office on Herschel Avenue, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday. “I’ve done a lot of businessto-business (and) business-toconsumer sales,” Duepner said. “I know it’s really imporJulie tant for us to develop our Duepner membership.” Trustee John Weinstein, who has known Duepner for more than a decade, noted the council’s need for an executive director. “We need someone who can field questions from the community, who can do public relations and marketing,” he said. “This is the perfect solution, to have a high caliber person who loves La Jolla and is willing to do it on a volunteer basis.” New trustee The council also selected Debbie Arnau to fill a vacant trustee position, which was also sought by La Jolla Rotary Club President Ron Jones and Dyanne Routh.

Arnau, who is owner of Deal Me In Today La Jolla, has volunteered for everything from the farmers market to the council’s poker night fundraiser and the La Jolla Art and Wine Festival. She said she would use her merchant contacts to help boost LJTC membership. Dancing with La Jolla Stars Though Jones did not receive the trustee slot, his involvement with the town council this year will nevertheless be significant. The local DJ and personality dubbed the “Voice of La Jolla” will produce LJTC’s major fundraiser of the year, “Dancing with La Jolla Stars.”

Jones organized a similarly themed fundraiser for the La Jolla Stage Company in 2007 that was well received. “It was kind of a Garrison Keillor presentation in that we had the dancing sandwiched between entertainment,” Jones said. “The fast pace kept it moving very quickly.” Jones noted several dance studios in the Village with instructors willing to pair with La Jolla celebrities for the fundraiser. “We think that that we could get somewhere between 300 and 400 people to come out at $25 a head,” Trustee Rob Hildt said of the event, which would take place in September.

Special events committee After voting to approve the fundraiser, council secretary Sonia Marie Olivas made a motion to create a special events committee within the La Jolla Town Council, which was unanimously approved. The committee’s initial focus will be on Dancing with La Jolla Stars, with Hildt serving as chair and Jones serving as a co-chair through the duration of his event. Trustees Nancy Gardner, Mary Soriano, Egon Kafka, Debbie Arnau and Emiliano and Yolanda De Riquer also will serve on the committee. Coast Boulevard project Town council trustees spent considerable time grappling over the verbiage of a letter it will send Mayor Jerry Sanders and Council members Sherri Lightner and Kevin Faulconer regarding the proposed redesign and beautification of the Coast Boulevard walkway. The plan, designed by architect Jim Neri, includes a designated area for vendor tables. The council’s letter is a clarification of an earlier letter sent to the mayor expressing its support for the project; the second letter clarifies its desire to remove vendors at the cove who sell T-shirts and other merchandise in competition with merchants in the Village, and speak on a variety of free-speech issues. Some vendors are selling merchandise for “donations only,” in the guise of being a nonprofit organization or promoting free speech, several trustees said. See Town Council, A5

LA JOLLA LIGHT - Thursday, May 17 - Page a5

Merchants Association parts ways with its executive director By Pat Sherman Rosemary Murrieta, hired last July to be the full-time executive director of the La Jolla Merchants Association, has left the job to return to managing her events company. LJVMA Trustee Egon Kafka announced her May 3 departure at last week’s meeting of the La Jolla Town Council, and told the La Jolla Light Murrieta “was no longer deemed to be a proper fit for the organization,” a sentiment Murrieta echoed on Friday. “There are a lot of lovely Rosemary people in La Jolla,” she said. Murrieta “The community has a great deal of promise, but it just wasn’t a good fit (for me) with the merchants association. It’s an amicable separation.” Murrieta said she would be revamping Rose Events, an event management company she operated prior to joining the merchants association.

“I’m very excited about his opportunity,” said Murrieta, who also is a residential broker with Coldwell Banker in Del Mar. Stepping in to fill the vacant position on an interim basis is Sheila Fortune, the former owner of Aquamoree restaurant and a past LJVMA board secretary. LJVMA board president Phil Coller called Fortune a “superb” choice to lead the organization until a new executive director is hired. “She has a big history in Atlanta with design and streetscape issues, which is one of our main focuses,” Coller said. The LJVMA will advertise for a new executive director in local papers and on its website, lajollabythesea.com Coller said he expects to fill the position within three months. Anyone interested in applying should contact Fortune at info@lajollabythesea.com Though Murrieta’s salary was not publically disclosed, the association had allocated $84,750 in expenses for personnel/office/administration for the 2012 fiscal year.

From Town Council, A4 “Unfortunately, they’re not being cited, they’re not being asked to leave,” Olivas said. “We should just eliminate the vendors altogether, so we don’t have that problem of them not abiding by the laws.” Erin Demorest, a representative for Councilwoman Lightner, said her office was informed by the city that vendor tables can not be eliminated entirely, and that space for the tables is meant to be allocated on a lotterystyle basis, similar to what is done with buskers in Balboa Park. Lifeguard Ken Hunrichs noted a U.S. 9th Circuit Court decision that limits the type of merchandise sidewalk vendors in Venice Beach are allowed to sell only products with a specific message related to free speech or a nonprofit cause. “From what I gather, the (San Diego) city attorney is well aware of this decision and still is refusing to enforce it, for whatever reason.” Trustee Steve Haskins suggested the council seek an opinion from the city attorney’s office providing clarification on the vendor issue. “I think we’re operating in a vacuum,” he said. “It doesn’t make any sense to say we

don’t want any tables if the city’s legally required to allow them.” In the end, the council voted to remove most of the verbiage in its letter, opting for more concise language that ended with a plea that “no tables should be permitted to occupy that site.” In other town council news • One More Year: The LJTC voted to approve another year of service for its appointees to the following committees: Coastal Access and Parking, Development Permit Review, Planned District Ordinance, Streetscape and Traffic and Transportation. • Kudos: Cindy Greatrex, who led her first meeting as board president, thanked trustee Egon Kafka for helping run the office, and trustee Ruth Yansick for donating $300 toward the purchase of a new computer. • More Kudos: Councilwoman Sherri Lightner presented commendations to the following trustees for their service on the LJTC: Hildt, Kafka, Weinstein, Ann Kerr Bache, Phillip Forgione and recent past-president Rick Wildman. • Taste of the Cove: The council voted to approve the annual event for Sept. 6.

skaters are now using plastic garbage as new surfaces for their eggs. This has led to a rise in the insect’s egg densities in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Such an increase, documented for the first time in a marine invertebrate in the open ocean, may have consequences for animals across the marine food web, such as crabs that prey on sea skaters and their eggs. Findings appear in the journal Biology Letters.

mulates as scar tissue ultimately rendering the liver incapable of serving as the body’s vital chemical filter. If, however, the source of the liver disease is treated or eliminated, the liver can repair itself. In part, this is due to elimination of HSCs through programmed cell death. But that’s not the complete picture. An international team, led by researchers at the UC San Diego School of Medicine, reports that in mouse studies seeking to reverse the disease, up to 50 percent of activated HSCs do not die but stop producing scar-causing collagen. This suggests that rather than killing damaged cells, a better treatment strategy might be, through drug therapy, to both de-activate and revert cells back to a healthy original state. The work appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. News release at http://bit.ly/JWXv5D B cells ‘in class’ fight different infections Young B cells become infection fighters when exposed to

an invading microbe. Some become plasma B cells and actively produce antibodies. Others become “memory B cells,” that can lie in wait, sometimes for years, primed to respond rapidly to signs of re-infection. Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute report the discovery that special proteins convey a particular functional “class” upon B cells, even when they lie dormant, that determines how its antibodies marshal other components of immunity and thus how well they can remove a certain type of infectious threat. The findings have implications for vaccine design. By supplying a particular classenforcement protein at the same time that it exposes B cells to microbial proteins, a vaccine could induce a longterm immunity that is heavily weighted towards a desired antibody class. The study appears in the journal Nature Immunology. News release at http://bit.ly/ KJjxd4 — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

EPA seeks proposals to reduce marine debris The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is seeking project proposals to reduce land-based trash at the source, thus preventing trash from entering coastal runoff and becoming marine debris. Approximately $280,000 in funding is available. Projects must occur in a coastal or estuarine watershed in U.S. EPA Region 9, which includes coastal areas of California, Hawaii and other Pacific territories. States, local governments, public and private nonprofit institutions/organizations, federally recognized Indian tribal governments, U.S. territories or possessions, and interstate agencies are eligible and encouraged to apply. The aim of the grant is to reduce marine debris from coastal watersheds with true source reduction practices. Proposals should demonstrate and promote the economic benefits of source reduction to business and government, inspire innovative local policies promoting litter prevention, and foster creative collaborative partnerships between local government, non-profits, and business. Proposals that principally support recycling, clean-up, treatment, trash capture/removal, plastic bag and/or polystyrene bans, or disposal activities will not be considered for funding. The deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. Friday, June 8. Applicants must demonstrate how they will provide the minimum non-federal match of 25 percent of the total cost of the proposal.

5 Ways to Know if a Home is “The One” You often look at so many homes that it is hard to know when you have found a good one. Here are five indicators that a particular home you are viewing might be “The One” on which you’ll want to place an offer. 1) You feel possessive about it instantly. If you walk through a place and leave wondering how quickly you can get your offer together before someone else beats you out, this might be “the one”. 2) You start rationalizing the flaws away. If you find yourself viewing a home with traits you would normally deem undesirable, yet you like the place so much that you instinctively compile a mental list of reasons those traits just don’t matter, you may have found "the one”. 3) The bathroom and kitchen don’t disgust you. Humans are born with only two fears in life. The fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. As we mature we acquire new fears and when house hunting, many people fear other people’s baths and kitchens for they are very personal rooms. If you find yourself falling in love with someone’s river rock shower floor or drooling over the pot holder over the stove or the built-in cookbook stand, you may have found “the one”. 4) You involuntarily envision your own family, furniture, decor and daily activities into this house. If you envision yourself curled up on the sofa in the light filled room, you see your favorite lamp in the study, you may have found “the one”. 5) You lose interest in seeing other homes. When you find the one, continuing the house hunt that you may have obsessed over for months, even years, starts to seem silly, and you just want to start moving into your dream home. Then you will know, this is it!

FROM MERCHANTS, A1 “There’s a lot of potential to make this pay for itself because it will be a prime piece of real estate to use for many, many different things,” Coller said. “It has a potential to be a revenue-producer and a real focus for the Village.” The board lent unanimous approval to a motion for the LJVMA to spearhead planning and communication for the project. In other merchants action n Associate Memberships: Coller discussed offering associate memberships for merchants who do not reside within a 30-block area of the Village’s business improvement district (BID). Businesses in this area are assessed an annual fee by the City of San Diego, making them de facto members of the nonprofit LJVMA. “A number of people are requesting memberships from our organization who are not BID members, so at the moment they can’t become members,” Coller said. He added there would be membership criteria established for merchants in other areas of La Jolla who have something to offer the merchants association, such as hoteliers. The board would review and approve each application. “It’s important that we process this as fast as possible, so that we

can get this approved at the next board meeting,” Coller said. n 501(c)(3) Status: The merchants association is moving forward with its effort to achieve tax-exempt, nonprofit — or 501(c)(3) — status, which could take up to three months. “There are other donors in the Village or potential sources of money that would be more likely to give to the beautification of the Village if we had a 501(c)(3) status, because they could get tax breaks,” Coller said.

n Clean-up Crew: Coller said the LJVMA has agreed to oversee a crew tasked with keeping the Village clean and trash-free, which would be funded in part by private donations to the La Jolla Community Foundation. The foundation is still seeking donors for the program, which would include a maintenance truck. n Splashes of Color: The LJVMA’s design committee voted to allocate $2,000 to purchase plants and materials to spruce up

hanging flower pots within the Village. “We decided that it would make sense to get flowers wholesale and plant them ourselves,” said board member Egon Kafka, who has added some 300 flowers to planters in recent weeks, including lobelia, petunias, mecardonia, purple lantana and red, pink and white geraniums. Coller requested feedback from merchant members to ascertain whether its current $775-permonth contract for watering, fertilizing and maintaining the planters is fiscally prudent. Though there were once 250 hanging planters in the Village, there are currently only about 100. Coller said it is not possible for the merchants association alone to maintain or fund the maintenance of 250 planters — thought they would like to have that many planters in the Village in the future. “We’d like individual merchants to really take ownership of their own baskets,” Coller said. n Benches: Niebling said bids to refinish up to 100 redwood benches in the Village were coming in “pretty high,” from $800 to $900. He said the design committee also is considering using a type of wood that requires less maintenance, or replacing the

benches altogether. About 18 benches are owned by the LJVMA, which pays for their upkeep. The rest were donated by private citizens, who are required to pay an upfront fee for their maintenance. The La Jolla Town Council Foundation initially administered the program, and holds the money for upkeep of the benches in its nonprofit account. “The La Jolla Town Council is going to transfer all that money to our 501(c)(3) and then the LJVMA is going to maintain all the benches in the Village,” Coller said. n Planting Trees: Niebling said the design committee is involved with replacing several old, diseased eucalyptus trees that were recently removed by the city, as well as others that fell on their own in recent years. “We’ve identified this as an important priority in terms of the look and feel of the Village,” Niebling said, noting that the committee hopes to give the community several options for replacement trees that they can vote on, possibly on the LJVMA’s website or in local newspapers. “We’ll cull it down to three recommendations and then potentially put it out there for

The La Jolla Historical Society’s interim executive director, F. H. “Trip” Bennett, was recognized last week for helping preserve a piece Park City, Utah’s past. Bennett, a principal at La Jolla-based Bennett + Associates Architecture + Interior Design, along with structural engineer Peter Curry, received a 2012 Heritage Award from the Utah Heritage Foundation for their work on the Washington School House Hotel. After being “gutted to the studs” the iconic structure was given a complete historic renovation and restoration, reopening in January as a luxury 12-suite hotel, in time for the Sundance Film Festival. Built in 1889, the iconic structure is one of Park City’s three original schools. It was nearly destroyed in the city’s “great fire” of 1898, though its sturdy limestone façade remained. Since then, it has been used as a VFW hall and a bed and breakfast, which Bennett said destroyed some of the historical and architectural integrity of the interior. The award-winning project was featured last week on “The Today Show” as one of “Travel + Leisure” magazine’s “Top 50 Best New Hotels in the World.” Local interior designers Paul and Shannon Allen also let their expertise to the project.

By Ron Newby Do the arts and humanities have a place in medical education? Philosopher Dr. Mary Devereaux and physician Dr. Dena Rifkin will discuss the question at the next Bronowski Art & Science Forum, “Education of the Modern Doctor: Marcus Welby vs House,” 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 23 in the Neurosciences Institute auditorium, 1640 John Jay Hopkins Drive. In recent decades, medical education has increasingly emphasized the need for physicians-in-training to develop competence in the “soft” skills of communication, empathy, and understanding — skills traditionally associated with studying literature, philosophy, history and the arts. But have changes in contemporary medicine — the decline in primary care, the ubiquity of high-tech “nontouch” instruments, computer-based electronic charting, and discontinuity between inpatient and outpatient care made the ideal of humanistic medicine beside the point?

The ClearChoice team of specialists provides 21st century solutions to people struggling with dentures or bad teeth.

WHY SUFFER WITH DENTURES? For centuries, removable false teeth, or dentures, have been used to replace missing teeth. But denture-wearers report that many undesirable side effects come along with this less-than-ideal solution: Dentures are uncomfortable to wear and often slip or click; they can cause bad breath, and require ongoing and inconvenient maintenance; they often result in a weak bite, a fake-looking smile DQG DQ RYHUO\ DFWLYH JDJJLQJ UHĂ&#x20AC; H[ Care and comfort aside, those with dentures also are prevented from eating many of the foods and participating in many of the activities they enjoy. With todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s science, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply no reason for anyone to struggle with dentures. In fact, many of the problems denture wearers struggle with can be solved in just one day* with the help of your ClearChoice team of dental implant professionals.

Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re anchored into the jawbone, the fusion of the implant and bone provides stability, just as the natural teeth did. Implants perform and are cared for just like natural teeth! If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing some or all of your teeth, dental implants can stimulate the bone, protect against atrophy and help preserve your natural facial features.

See Post Office, A14 said one of the issues being discussed is the formation of a nonprofit subgroup that would include pieces of both the historical society and music society, and possibly another existing nonprofit organization. Under the terms of the leaseback, the historical society would purchase the building from the United States Postal Service (USPS), then lease 6,000 square feet of the building back to USPS to maintain post office operations on Wall Street. The revenue flowing to the historical society from USPS rent would allow the organization to pay off the loan, while USPS receives money it needs from the sale upfront. The icing on the cake, Lantry said, would be to have a member of congress help the historical society secure a federal loan guarantee to provide it with a strong backer and lower interest rate. “It’s a perfect opportunity to try and get an amendment into the bill, so that we can save the post office,” Lantry said. “The economics of the deal work out and makes conventional financing a possibility.” The legislation, Senate Bill 1789, passed the Senate on April 25 and is before the House of Representatives. It includes a moratorium on the closure of rural post offices, and cost-saving measures allowing the agency to tap into its retirement-fund surplus and end Saturday delivery after two years. Lantry said the task force would meet with Congressmembers Bob Filner (D-51st), Susan Davis (D-53rd) and Brian Bilbray (R-50th) to ask if they will co-author the amendment. Filner is running for mayor, and Bilbray to

Save the La Jolla Post Office Task Force members discuss asking legislators to insert an amendment into a postal reform bill currently before the U.S. House of Representatives that would help save the Wall Street post office. Pat Sherman retain his congressional seat. Task force member Joe LaCava said both state assembly members Toni Atkins and Nathan Fletcher sent letters to USPS in support of keeping the Wall Street post office in place. LaCava said he “half expects” state Sen. Chris Kehoe to write a letter, while Davis said there is a strong chance she will be meeting with Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid on the issue in the near future. “Influence is what changes the direction,” Davis said. Announcing its plan to keep rural post of-

fices open, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said this month, “We’ve listened to our customers in rural America and we’ve heard them loud and clear: they want to keep their post offices open.” “One of our petitions was to try to become a closure and not be a relocation,” Davis said. “The fact that we are not on a formalized list continues to be a problem. We have no protection so we are going to ask our legislators, everything they do for closures, please allow us to be covered by that protection.” The task force’s other plans for saving the

post office include keeping the post office where it is, albeit with a reduction in its service area; and finding a benevolent developer who will retain a portion of the building for use by the post office, or at least keep the building’s historic character in tact. Some in the task force expressed concern that an outside buyer could swoop in and purchase the building from USPS without the community’s consent or buy-in, though Davis assured the task force was not ignoring that possibility. “The only certainty that USPS has given us is that they cannot sell the post office before May 26,” LaCava said. “That’s 30 days from the community meeting.” More than 2,450 signatures in support of keeping the Wall Street post office where it is were handed to postal service representatives at last month’s town hall forum. Preservationist and former San Diego Historic Resources Board member Angeles Leira said the task force should work to show USPS “how much they have to gain by staying here, (using) 6,000 square feet and leasing the remaining square feet.” “Maybe that would give them a sense of security,” she said. “On paper you’re right,” Lantry said. “Whether they want to be a property manager, that’s another question. Whether they want to pull the money out of the equity right now, that’s another question. … I think it’s really important that we show them that by staying in one place they avoid a tremendous amount of relocation expenses, if they can even find a (replacement) space.”

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Karate kids pay homage to their teachers Local teachers were thanked and praised at La Jolla Karate recently in honor of “Teacher Appreciation Week and Respect Month.” As part of its comprehensive character development program, Powerful Words, students invited their teachers to come and be honored at La Jolla Karate and also to watch them perform in class. Josh Trent, lead instructor at La Jolla Karate, was thrilled with the turnout. “Our school teachers are some of the most important people in our community. They’re educating our future leaders! We think of it as a privilege to have them visit our studio.” Several teachers from Bird Rock Elementary, La Jolla Elementary and Holmes Elementary turned out to be honored at La Jolla Karate. The teachers were thrilled to be invited to class and honored by their students. Each teacher received a certificate and a flower from their student, as well as applause from everyone who was watching the class. “Teachers do so much for these children, but they are sometimes taken for granted. It’s a great time to thank them for all that

they do,” Trent said. Dr. Robyn J.A. Silverman, creator of the Powerful Words Character Development System, used at La Jolla Karate, sees the importance in bringing the schools and the community together in educating children. “The community-home-school partnership is critical in providing children and families with a complete education that benefits everyone,” Silverman said. “Someone once said: ‘Great teachers teach others to love learning.’ As this month the Powerful Word is ‘Legacy,’ we want every teacher to know that the lessons they teach are appreciated, valued and remembered … and that they will be remembered for the hard work they do everyday.” La Jolla Karate’s strong curriculum, along with the Powerful Words Character Development system, provide students with opportunities that will give them the ability to become strong members of our community — both on the inside and out. — For more information contact (858) 255-8384 or visit www.lajollakarate.com

By Marti Gacioch Jawad Bisharat and his team of four licensed Allstate agents in University City are geared to find insurance designed to meet every client’s specific needs. According to Bisharat, the insurance world has changed greatly since he began his career. About 15 years ago, he could only sell his clients Allstate policies, he said, but now as a broker, he is no longer limited to selling just Allstate insurance. He and his team of agents work with other providers, including Hartford, Travelers and a range of other policies. “We’re basically brokers on the commercial side Jawad Bisharat and Allstate doesn’t do much commercial insurance,” Bisharat said. “I can sell health insurance through Anthem and Blue Cross and life insurance through Lincoln Benefit.” Allstate no longer sells new homeowners insurance policies anymore, so if a customer calls Bisharat wanting homeowners insurance, he will shop it with Chubb, Fireman’s Fund and Tower insurance, but for auto insurance he can only sell Allstate. BOASTING A COVETED SPOT in one of the world’s most acclaimed destinations, Paseo La Jolla puts you steps away from the charms of this incomparable village. This collection of stunning townhomes truly offers a rare opportunity to live a lavish lifestyle in a preeminent, coastal setting.

As an exclusive agent/broker, Bisharat is no different than an independent broker, but he doesn’t charge broker fees. Bisharat, active in the insurance industry for 17 years, has been with Allstate since 1997. Born in Israel but raised in San Diego, he earned a B.A. in economics from Long Beach State University before entering the financial field with Fortis Financial. At Fortis he sold life insurance and various financial products, including annuities, IRAs, etc. “I started in life insurance and when Allstate was growing and looking for new agents I applied,” Bisharat said. “Allstate wanted people who were already licensed, and I hold a Series 6 license, and fire and casualty, which allows me to sell mutual funds and any type of variable products, but not individual stocks.” Bisharat wanted his own insurance agency (as opposed to working for someone else), so he worked as an employee/agent for 18 months before striking out on his own. “I started from scratch with no customers and have been growing ever since,” he said. Bisharat lives and works in La Jolla and his agency insures many local businesses and residents. His children attend La Jolla Elementary where he and his wife are active supporters of the school and sponsor the U9 Boys Soccer Impact Team. — Reach Jawad Bisharat at Allstate, 1110 Torrey Pines Road, Suite E.

Sutton still lights way for Bird Rock residents The installation of nine LED street lamps paid for with $229,000 of maintenance assessment district (MAD) funds by the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) began early Monday afternoon, May 14. The street light project was conceived of and spearheaded by late BRCC member George Sutton, who died last summer in a tragic accident while preparing for a family vacation. “This is an emotional project for the Bird Rock Community Council and the community,” BRCC President Joe Parker said. “George was a very active volunteer, not only in La Jolla at large, but in Bird Rock, having served on the BRCC as well as being actively involved as a member or advocate on behalf of the BRCC on the various committees.” Though the lights will begin to illuminate Bird Rock as soon as the work is finished, a celebration to honor Sutton and his street lamps is expected to take place the first or second week of June. “We want to honor George and honor his commitment and thank his family for everything he’s done for Bird Rock,” Parker said. “I think this is a fitting opportunity for that, because this project meant so much to George.” BRCC treasurer and MAD representative Barbara Dunbar said the lamps were installed to beautify and brighten the neighborhood, and to make the community safer and more pedestrian friendly at night. — Pat Sherman

Poor taste in cookies On Sunday, while many remembered Junior Seau at private memorials, Sunday services and a traditional paddle-out, Girard Gourmet sold sugar cookies. In their front window, they displayed cookies cut in the shape of a Charger football player wearing No. 55, football helmets, with the No. 55 and tropical islands bearing his name. To profit in such a blatant fashion is not only poor form, but undeniably “Poor Taste.” Sharman Dye La Jolla Editor’s note: When contacted about your letter, Girard Gourmet spokeswoman Diana Goedjke said the cookies were created as a tribute to honor Junior Seau, who was a frequent customer at the bakery/cafe. “People who have been following our cookie crusade for the past 25 years, will know we use our cookies to commemorate important occasions in the community,” she said.

La Jolla Post Office is someplace special A letter to Diana Alvarado, U.S. Postal Service Pacific Facilities Service Office Dear Ms. Alvarado, Thank you for coming to the town meeting in La Jolla on April 26. That was the larg-

est turnout of its sort ever seen in La Jolla for any civic cause. We faced the same problem during the Lyndon Johnson administration. There has been great jealousy from other communities in the City of San Diego who do not have a post office named after their particular community. This was blocked by political intervention — a story I was told when I first moved here in 1956. The purpose of my letter is to respond to the request that interested parties write you. Removing our post office from the cultural and historical center of La Jolla would be an emasculation of our souls and psyches and hearts. What do I mean? I’m one who waits in line and looks at the fantastic mural on the wall in the post office that was painted during the FDR administration’s art WPA project and visits with friends. There is a sense of belonging to a very special community (during such times). This would be devastating to lose. Herman Froeb, M.D. La Jolla

Surf club pitches in to keep iconic beach shack in shape By Pat Sherman indanSea Surf Club took advantage of last weekend’s pristine weather to restore the historic beach shack at WindanSea. About 20 people re-thatched the roof with fresh Canary Island date palm fronds May 13, hosting a beach barbecue later in the afternoon. “The surf club and other select members throughout the local community kind of stepped up to be the gatekeepers of this historical landmark,” surf club member Ted Cochrane said of the palm-covered shack, which was first erected in 1946 by surfers Woody Ekstrom, Fred Kenyon and Don Okey. It was designated an historical landmark by the San Diego Historical Resources Board in 1998. The shack is a popular spot for weddings. The club refurbishes it every year or two, as needed — a project some have participated in for nearly three decades, Cochrane said. “It’s a fun, kind of right of passage for a young surfer,” he said. “Surfers around here spend a lot of time at the beach, so it’s important to kind of get out of the sun and have a fun place to hang and kick back.”

WindanSea Surf Club members and other La Jollans renovated the historic WindanSea beach shack with new palm fronds, Sunday, May 13. Pat Sherman

Editor’s note: Windansea Surf Club wishes to thank the following sponsors of the event — Grunow Construction, Verdes El Ranchero Mexican Restaurant, City Palms Tree Service, Crown Point Clippers Inc, Tree Service, Mark Scales Consulting Co.

Betty, Bob Beyster donate $7 million for nursing center Dr. and Mrs. J. Robert Beyster of La Jolla have donated $7 million to fund the Betty and Bob Beyster Institute for Nursing Research, Advanced Practice, and Simulation at the University of San Diego. The gift was announced May 8 by Sally Brosz Hardin, Ph.D, APRN, FAAN, dean of the University of San Diego Hahn School of Nursing and Health Science. Dr. Beyster, a physicist, founded SAIC, the largest employee-owned research and engineering firm in the United States in 1969. He is also the founder and Chairman of the Foundation for Enterprise Development, which assists organizations considering employee ownership. Betty Beyster serves on many boards in San Diego and is an accomplished gardener. “The Beysters’ $7 million gift covers nearly half the costs of this crucial $15 million project,” said Dean Hardin. “We are confident other donors will join the Beysters to help us raise the additional funds.”

10 QUESTIONS

Communications world spins Doug Ramsey in pursuit of tech news Doug Ramsey, 60, joined UC San Diego in La Jolla in 2001 as the university was launching the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2), where he is Director of Communications. He spent 30 years as a journalist covering technology and business for publications including The Economist (based in London and Tokyo), the Washington Post (in Brussels), and Newsweek (as Business and Doug Ramsey Technology Editor in New York), and later moved on-air to television at NBC News, Financial News Network, CNBC, and KUSI-TV in San Diego. Ramsey is the author of “The Corporate Warriors” (Houghton Mifflin, 1987) and coauthored “Area Handbook for Finland” (American University, 1974). He earned his master’s degree in international affairs from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C. and Bologna, Italy, after also doing postgraduate work at the College of Europe in Bruges, Belgium and finishing his B.A. in political science at UCLA.

What brought you to La Jolla? Like many transplants, I grew tired of bad weather and one particularly freezing winter back East, negotiating icy sidewalks. With the best weather in the world, San Diego was a no-brainer, so I semi-retired to work part-time as business editor of KUSI-TV until the stock market bubble burst. I decided to go back to work full time when UC San Diego started looking for someone to work on communications for the Jacobs School of Engineering and the newly-created Calit2. That’s more than a decade ago!

Project Wildlife marks its 40th year By Linda Hutchison iving as we do in San Diego County, homes sprawled from ocean to desert, around canyons, lagoons and bays, it’s not surprising we share space with much wildlife. Most of us are used to waking up to songbirds, watching hummingbirds hover in our gardens or gulls swoop down from high wires. And we are not always surprised when we open our front doors to see an opossum on the porch. But what do we do if we find abandoned baby rabbits in the garage or an injured animal or bird in the driveway? We can turn to Project

Wildlife, an organization that has been helping San Diegans live in balance with wildlife for 40 years. What started in 1972 as a husband and wife team rescuing wild animals in Alpine and train-

ing others to do the same has since grown into one of the largest non-profit wildlife rehabilitation organizations in the United States. The group takes care of about 10,000 animals a year

from more than 320 different species in San Diego County, which is one of the most biologically diverse areas in the country, according to Sarah Whorley, Project Wildlife communications manager. Project Wildlife includes a full-time staff of nine, a part-time staff of 20-25 veterinary technicians, and about 525 volunteers who do everything from office work and educational outreach to transporting and caring for animals, cleaning cages and running rehabilitation centers in their homes.

‘Hands on a Hardbody’ crazy idea, sensational show If you go ■ What: World premiere of the musical ‘Hands on a Hardbody’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings to June 17

Let’s Review

By diana Saenger

La Jolla Cultural Partners

he focus is on hands for La Jolla Playhouse’s world-premiere musical, “Hands on a Hardbody.” Hands of contestants that must remain fixed on a truck until the last one standing wins the truck, and hands of an opening night audience that could not stop clapping after every brilliant song written exclusively for the show. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Doug Wright (“I Am My Own Wife,” “Creditors”) has once again harnessed his creative genius to turn a 1997 documentary about a car dealership’s promotional contest for wannabe truck owners

■ Where: La Jolla Playhouse’s Mandell Weiss Theatre, UCSD campus ■ Tickets: From $40 ■ Box Office: (858) 550-1010 ■ Website: lajollaplayhouse.org into a smart, funny and poignant play commissioned by The Playhouse. Many other virtuoso hands helped deliver solid entertainment in the production. Amanda Green (music and lyrics) and Trey Anastasio (amazing rock music) did their homework in fitting fun and great lyrics into tunes that capture the essence of every character who sings them. Each tune tells the story of why he/she really needs that truck.

Kelli (Allison Case) sings why she needs to win a truck in ‘Hands on a Hardbody,’ directed by Neil Pepe in the La Jolla Playhouse’s Mandell Weiss Theatre. In “Master Benny’s Winning Strategies,” Benny Perkins (Hunter Foster) tells JD (Keith Carradine) how to win from his own experience of winning last year. Kelli (Allison Case) sings why she desperately wants a new life in “I’m Gone,” while contestant Greg (Jay Armstrong Johnson) looks at her with moon-pie eyes. Jesus (Jon Rua) wows us with his story of discrimina-

tion and love for his dog in “Born in Laredo.” Chris (David Larsen), who has just returned from a tour of duty in Afghanistan, puts it all into his song, “Stronger.” Each story, loosely based on those of the actual contestants from the real contest in Texas, comes alive through the passionate performances of the excellent cast. Carradine’s JD strikes a somber chord revealing his

martial and physical problems. Janis (Dale Soules) lets us know what a real soul mate is all about in “It’s A Fix.” Win or lose, Norma (Keala Settle) knows her future is in God’s hands as she testifies in “Joy of the Lord.” With a set that’s mostly just a shiny new blue pickup truck, it would be easy to park it and go. But not so for The Playhouse’s creative team. The truck

easily becomes another dance partner through the choreography by Jason Fowler. The musical staging by Benjamin Millepied could not have been any more appropriate. Director Neil Pepe wore many hats to bring this great production to the stage. All the ducks are in a row in the delightful and energized “Hands on a Hardbody.” Don’t miss it.

New Rimel’s Bar and Grill serves savory, slow-roasted specialties By Kelley Carlson imel’s Bar and Grill takes a natural approach with its dining experience, from the wood and stone decor to the antibiotic- and hormone-free meats. Named for owners Matt and Jacqueline Rimel, there are three locations to serve customers in San Diego County: Del Mar Highlands, the newest and largest; Cardiff, which shares a roof with Zenbu; and the tiny, original site in La Jolla at 7660 Fay Ave. While the interior is similar in each, the La Jolla menu differs from the other two restaurants. The establishments all feature a “clean” approach, primarily using stone and wood for the furniture, floors and walls. Meats, poultry, game and seafood are slow-roasted over a wood-fired grill, with oak from Palomar Mountain. At the Del Mar Highlands location, guests can sit at a long bar (known as the Cooks Line) and observe the roasting and food preparation process, perhaps to gather input for their own meal selections. It’s a casual, rustic atmosphere that attracts everyone from businessmen in suits to beachgoers in “sandals, T-shirts and sand between the toes,” General Manager Tim Casinelli said. “We’re OK with either. We want to make (Rimel’s) comfortable and inviting to everybody.” Families also find the restaurant welcoming, with crayons and a special menu for the little ones. They can choose from such fare as chicken bowls containing rice, chicken and broccoli; quesadillas; grilled cheese; hot dogs made from grass-fed beef; and bean-and-cheese burritos. “We love having families in here,” Casinelli said, noting they often hang out in Rimel’s until about 7:30 p.m. Then there’s the happy hour crowd. Customers take advantage of specials and appetizers, like Calamari Rings and

Patrons can watch TV and listen to music in the dining room and indoor bar at Rimel’s Bar and Grill in Del Mar Highlands. Photos by Kelley Carlson Fresh Fish Sliders, while watching televised sports and listening to classic rock and reggae music at the indoor and outdoor bars. They can also socialize at community tables. Couples on dates may request a quiet table to enjoy each other’s company, Casinelli said. Regardless of where one sits, the full menu is offered throughout the establishment, and selections are the same for lunch and dinner. According to Casinelli, the most popular item by far is the Rotisserie Chicken Veggie Bowl, a combination of wok’d

vegetables and cooked chicken on a bed of rice. But because of its size, it’s served on a plate rather than in a bowl. Rimel’s signature Rotisserie Chicken — roasted for 1.5 hours — is offered in quarter- and half-portions, and comes with sides like chipotle black beans and jasmine or brown rice. Burgers and sandwiches are also available, along with line-caught, fresh fish, from local halibut to white seabass and yellowtail. For guests looking to avoid gluten, some of the choices include Fish Tacos topped with salsa fresca, cabbage and Mateo’s Spicy Spread; Matt’s Wedge Salad, a mixture of iceberg lettuce, applewood smoked bacon, bleu cheese, tomato, red onion, avocado and bleu cheese dressing; and of course, chicken. For a little variety, patrons may look to the chalkboard specials posted on the wall. Some items that can be found are Blackened Ahi Tacos, soups such as Tortilla Verde and Chicken Lentil, the $5 beer of the month, specialty drinks, and desserts including Chocolate Lava Cake and Housemade Cheesecake.

More than 80 paintings to hang in art association’s plein-air contest By Will Bowen It was overcast and windy and the surf was up at WindanSea Beach on the morning of Sunday, May 6. The waves feathered overhead and only a few brave surfers were out, bobbing around like corks in the churning whitewater. Plein-air painters Rita Pacheco and Andrea Gaye were also out there, huddled over their canvases, brushes in hand, trying to stay glued in place, as they braced against the wind and surf just outside the splash zone on the rocks above the water. They were cold and their hands were quivering from a combination of the weather and the excitement of trying to finish a painting of the crashing surf in just three hours for the plein-air competition, “Under the Sky,” coming to the La Jolla Art Association (LJAA) Gallery, May 17-June 3. First prize will pay $300. Painter Sallie Sachse looked out enviously at Pa-

She, too, had her portable paints and easel and wanted to paint, but she couldn’t get down the steps to negotiate the rocks due to an injured knee. A dog she was walking that morning had sprinted off and pulled her hard to the ground — knee first. Plein-air project curator Rae Anne Marks was on hand to comfort her, while barking encouragement to her painters at work below. “I am freezing, but happy,” said Pacheco on her return to the sidewalk. “My hands are shaking, but I think I’m in an altered state, what they call ‘The Zone,’ at one with everything. Just look around! It’s fabulous ... to paint and to enjoy nature here.” Gaye piped in, “I was watching out for big waves because once before I was painting here and a large wave splashed over me and filled my paint box with water. I didn’t want that to happen again.” Pacheco added, “It was overcast when I got here. A few years ago I would have

just sat in my car and waited for the sun to come out, but now I am challenged by the overcast conditions. I was looking for an impression of the seascape to paint. I tried to create something that showed the qualities of good composition and restraint.” Gaye said her goal was to capture the changing light before the sun came through. “I am used to painting in difficult conditions,” she said. “I have painted in the snow in Julian and in the Mayan marketplaces in Guatemala. Some people think us Brits are a bit stodgy, but it’s not so. Actually, we

are quite adventurous! “I could sell the painting that I did today for about $750 — that’s $250 an hour. I know that sounds like a good wage, but as my teacher, Sebastian Capella, says, ‘Yes, it only took me three hours to make a $750 painting, but don’t forget it also took me a lifetime of study!’” The sidelined Sachse said she’s envious of Pacheco and Gayle’s productions. “But I’m not worried because I have a painting of WindanSea at home that I’m going to enter in the show. I call it ‘Red Tango.’ It’s a somewhat non-tradi-

tional plein-air painting. I captured how the rocks at WindanSea turned red just for a moment as the sun set one day. “The ‘Tango’ in the title refers to my parakeet. He’s not a touchy-feely type of guy — he likes chewing on grass and the sound of red fire trucks — but he inspires me to remember the importance of interaction in life.” Exhibit curator Rae Ann Marks said she’s excited about the competition. “Right now, I have 28 plein-air artists in the show and more than 80 paintings, and I think I will get even

more submissions,” she said. “I’m worried that I won’t have enough gallery space for all of them! Luckily, plein-air works are usually small, so I should be able to hang them all.” Marks said there is resurgence in the popularity of plein-air paintings and the exhibit is expected to draw a crowd. “I took on this project because I want to revitalize and reinvent LJAA,” she said. “I want to shake things up and elevate the status of the association so that it can again be the great organization it was meant to be.”

Gustatory groupies meet Giada De Laurentiis at book signing

Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman

V chefs are the new rock starts of our pop culture. They are idolized, adored, emulated and seemingly have the inspirational powers to convert culinary agnostics into devoted cooks. Every item they tout — from an exotic herb, spice or infused oil to a kitschy utility knife or sauté pan — is revered. Most notably, The Food Network has made these chefs household brands, while their trademark catchphrases have become ensconced in urban dictionaries, if not in Merriam Webster’s! “Kick it up a notch,” “Bam!” — Emeril Lagasse “Yum-O,” “EVOO” — Rachel Ray “Holy Moly, Stromboli!” — Guy Fieri “Butterlicious!” — Paula Deen, the sour cream and mayonnaise queen.

Recently, Giada De Laurentiis, while on tour for her sixth cookbook, “Weeknights with Giada: Quick and Simple Recipes to Revamp Dinner,” made several appearances in San Diego. If Julia Child had risen from the dead to sign her culinary Bible, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking,” the line would not have been as long as it was for this petite Food Network powerhouse. At this echelon, a booksigning is elevated to an event, a soiree of sorts with the staff of the Williams Sonoma Fashion Valley store hospitably passing out treats prepared from Giada’s new book. I sampled her penne with almond sauce, pirate pasta filled with treasures, including pecorino Romano cheese, crimini mushrooms, capers, green olives, tomatoes and fresh basil, and chewy, meltin-your-mouth chocolate-hazelnut drop cookies. Flavored water was also passed around to hydrate the masses during the three-hour plus wait to finally arrive at the book-signing table. But yes, so worth the wait to meet the culinary diva, linguini thin (an amazing feat considering her selfproclaimed chocoholic personality and passion for such a divine carb-loaded

Giada’s Crispy Breakfast Pita This is a twist on a piadina, an Italian flatbread. For weeknight ease, instead of making a dough, Giada uses store-bought pitas as the base. They’re topped with a creamy mascarpone spread, a salty bite of prosciutto, a lightly dressed arugula salad, and a fried egg. Serves 6.

Kaufman at Giada’s recent book signing in San Diego. cuisine), a dazzling smile and sweet disposition — like those hazelnut cookies I’d been scarfing down. Although camera-shy growing up, this Angelino transported from Rome, had celebrity in her DNA from her film producer grandpapa, Dino De Laurentiis. As a child, Giada said she chose to have playdates in the kitchen with her mom rather than the playground with friends.

■ Ingredients: 6 (6-inch) pita breads Extra-virgin olive oil 6 large eggs 3/4 cup (6 ounces) mascarpone cheese Grated zest of 1/2 large lemon Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 3 packed cups (3 ounces) arugula or baby spinach 8 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto ■ Method: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat gas or charcoal grill. Brush each side of the pitas with 1/2-teaspoon olive oil. Then grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, until crisp. Remove from the grill and cool slightly. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs directly into the pan and cook until the egg whites are set. Combine the mascarpone cheese, lemon zest, ½-teaspoon salt and ½- teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Add the arugula and toss until coated. Spread each pita with 2 tablespoons of the mascarpone mixture. Divide the prosciutto on top. Divide the arugula and mound on top of the prosciutto. Carefully place a fried egg on top of each pita. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, and serve. — From ‘Weeknights with Giada’

Event touts pooled philanthropy

a Jollans Aida Kaplan and Linda Kiran (above) attended a presentation by The San Diego Women’s Foundation and The San Diego Foundation on April 16 to show how the power of women can create a better San Diego. More than 60 foundation and community members came to hear speakers Valerie Jacobs, Bob Kelly, Catherine Blair, Alicia Foster and Rana Sampson. “Complementary philanthropy takes the incredible impact of pooled philanthropy one step further,” said Teresa Jacques, women’s foundation board president. “By using the assets already set aside for giving, and putting them toward a larger pool of dollars used toward higherlevel grants, everyone wins.” Not only are the grants larger than individuals might be able to make on their own, but they are also the result of a rigorous vetting process.

The sisterhood of the traveling underpants

Let Inga tell you ...

ith the summer travel season upon us, a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts just naturally turn to â&#x20AC;Ś underwear. My many friends who travel a lot have been lamenting for some time that they just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to resolve the underwear problem, especially if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be staying at a different place every night. You wash out your dainties but depending on the climate, they never quite dry before you have to pack them up and move on. My friend Gina says she toured Scotland and Ireland for 17 days with a plastic baggie of clean but soggy unmentionables that were never truly dry until she got home and put them in her dryer. The nightly washing ritual has a number of other downsides, not the least of which is having oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undies draped all over oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hotel bath, particularly if

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staying in the $1,000 a night Scottish castle-cumgolf resort. It just looks so, well, low class. And might explain why those Scots donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear anything under their kilts. They could just never get it to dry in that damp climate either. The main issue, of course, is that underwear just takes up so much room in your suitcase. Room youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather have for souvenirs. So several of my friends, including Gina, have been test driving other solutions, including disposable underwear specifically meant for traveling. Wear it once and toss it. Apparently, it is much more comfortable than one might imagine for cheap underwear, and thus begs the question as to why one would ever buy expensive underwear if the cheap disposable stuff is just as comfy. But ours is not to reason why. Another friend says that she has tried saving up all her old ratty underwear to bring with her to just throw away each night. Yet another says she hits up the Dollar Store and buys a three-pack for $1. But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the problem: while the plan is excellent, the execution has turned

out to be less so. At the moment of truth, they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite bear to throw perfectly good underwear away. Or even serviceable, if elastically-challenged, lingerie. It just seems so wasteful. The ratty underwear solution is even more problematic. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve left a nice tip for the maid at the pricey French chateau so do you really want her to find your shabby dainties in the trash? One can almost hear her mumbling under her breath, Merci, mais il vaut mieux peut-etre que vous gardiez votre argent pour vous offrir du linge moins fatiguĂŠs. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks, but maybe you should keep the money and buy yourself some new underwear.â&#x20AC;?) The French can be so sarcastic. On a more fundamental basis, wearing ratty underwear also goes against everything that is holey, er holy. Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your mother always exhort you to wear good underwear in case you were in an accident? Do you really want to end up in the Cap Ferrat Urgent Care in tattered u-trou? Yet another friend says she is planning to solve the problem by buying the super-lightweight travel underwear that is

Suffice to say, it was full of holes. On the rest of his travels in Asia, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dare send his underwear out again, not only out of the sheer embarrassment that a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rich Americanâ&#x20AC;? would have such shredded skivvies, but his wholehearted conviction that it would never survive a second experience. Weighing all the options, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really only one obvious conclusion. If you really want to travel light, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to have to go commando. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Look for La Jolla resident Ingaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light.

business, knows well the perils of depending on a hotel laundry, especially in out-of-the-way places. Olof tells the story of traveling to Indonesia and after a certain period of time, needing to get his laundry done. His underwear had obviously enjoyed the pampered life of a U.S. washing machine but when he got it back from his Y ogyakarta hotel, it was clear that it had undergone a far more vigorous manner of washing. Best case, it had been beaten with rocks. More likely, it had been subjected to a local cleansing method involving stampeding water buffalo.

FROM WILDLIFE, B1 The organization operates two triage centers where San Diego residents can drop off injured or abandoned animals. The North County center in Carlsbad is open only from mid-April to midSeptember, the busiest time of the year, when most baby animals are born. The central center, at 887½ Sherman St., off Morena Boulevard, is open year round. After being admitted, each animal is examined and stabilized, and given water and food if necessary. If it is a bird, it stays at the center, where care can include incubation and round-theclock feeding for neo-natals, until the birds are ready for larger cages and, finally, release back into the wild. About 80 percent of the animals brought to the center are birds; the most common are the house finch, house sparrow, and mourning dove. Birds with special needs and all mammals are transported to one of Project

Tip: Wear Gloves ■ The advice people receive when they call the Project Wildlife Hotline is to always wear gloves before picking up an animal and to not feed it. Unlike opossums, many animals such as bats and rodents do carry rabies and if they are brought in and handled without gloves, they have to be euthanized. Wildlife’s satellite rehabilitation centers, categorized by type of animal — bat, opossum, fox, rabbit, raccoon,

skunk, small mammal, hummingbird, raptor (owls, hawks, falcons, etc.), duck, songbird, and sea/shorebirds.

The most common mammals brought to the center are the Virginia opossum and the cottontail rabbit.

DUX Dollars Spring Event ®

In the busy season, this can mean as many as 100 animals a day, with people lining up and down the street, according to Whorley. In the less busy months, the average daily intake is about 10-15 animals. The amount of time animals spend recuperating varies from a few days to a few months, with the average being about 12 weeks. About 40 percent of the animals people bring to the center survive, which is 8 percent above the national average. As soon as they recover, they are released back into their natural habitat, within three miles of where they were found. As a non-profit organiza-

tion, with an annual budget of $1.3 million, Project Wildlife relies on its volunteers and donations. In 2011, its volunteers contributed about 80,000 hours, according to Whorley. The organization also brings in money from two of its services: wildlife extraction (helping people remove animals safely and humanely) and educational outreach programs for schools, scouting, and other groups. Project Wildlife’s educational program won the third annual ECO Ambassadors People’s Choice Awards last year sponsored by The San Diego River Park Foundation, SDG&E, and KFMB-TV Channel 8. This support and positive feedback from the community was very gratifying, according to Whorley. And the more we can learn about living in balance with wild animals the better, said Whorley. One common misunderstanding is that baby birds (or animals) have been abandoned if they are alone. Some mammals only check on their young every 12 hours, so it is best to wait. Some birds are fledglings learning to fly and can be put back in their nest or a makeshift nest. Another misunderstanding is that opossums are dangerous or dirty. “People think they are a nuisance or that they have rabies but that’s not true. They clean up rodents, insects, snails, fruit and garbage and are good to have around,” said Whorley.

Jean Isaacs opens the door to intergenerational dance By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Choreographer Jean Isaacs, artistic director of San Diego Dance Theater, has been a presence on the local dance scene for almost 40 years. Last year, at age 67, she decided to explore the possibility of incorporating older dancers into her work. She began with a weekly class for people over 60 called “Aging Creatively with Dance,” which included journaling as well as movement. With no time to teach another class herself, she turned it over to Yvonne Gagliardo, a Dance Theater associate who uses Isaacs’ iconic dance moves. The class quickly attracted about 20 attendees from all over the county, some of them

received a San Diego Foundation Creative Catalyst Grant to create a multimedia piece for Dance Theater. The results will be on view this weekend at the world premiere of “The Door is Open: An Intergenerational Dance Project,” a full-scale production at City College Saville Theater, featuring 12 dancers ages 60-84 (two men and 10 women) sharing the stage with nine of Dance Theatre’s young pros. Among the senior dancers is Rosemary KimBal, a Cardiff artist who specializes in Zen brush painting. She happened to be taking a class at Dance Theater’s home in Liberty Station when Isaacs was starting the Aging Creatively program. “I’d known Jean for years,

but had no clue I’d ever be dancing with her,” KimBal said. “After about six months of classes, when she said we were going to be in their next performance, I thought: In your dreams! But once I decided I’m in, I’m totally in!” The piece includes changing digital projections, interviews with the dancers, and a score by Isaac’s husband, Steve Baker, which mixes meditational music, pop songs from the 1920s and ’30s, plus’ 60’s rockand-roll. It runs about 66 minutes — a significant number for seniors, whose first full year of Medicare comes at age 66 — and the older dancers are onstage the whole time. There are several duets

There may be a sequel next year. But Isaacs has other intergenerational projects in the works.

Count Alfonso de Bourbon: One Man’s True Story Editor’s note: This is the last of a three-part story about one La Jollan’s dedicated search to learn the truth about another La Jollan’s claim to be a descendent of Spanish royalty. In her grief following the tragic death in January of her friend “Count” Alfonso de Bourbon, Juliana Beletsis traces his life story — not to Spain, but to Egypt — as readers will see.

By Juliana Beletsis ollowing the 1975 restoration of the Borbón Dynasty in Spain after Francisco Franco’s death, King Juan Carlos, Don Alfonso’s nephew, began making plans to bring back to Spain the bodies of all the Spanish Royals who had died in exile. But before that could happen, the Royal Pantheon at El Escorial, outside Madrid, had to be expanded. King Alfonso XIII’s body was repatriated from Italy in 1980. In 1985, the other tombs were ready, and in a carefully timed ceremony, the Royal remains were flown in over two days: Queen Victoria Eugenia from Eng-

land, the Infante Gonzalo from Austria, the Infante Jaime from Switzerland, and Don Alfonso from Miami. Col. Luis Fernandez de Mesa y de Hoas, special envoy from Don Juan de Borbón, Don Alfonso’s brother, arranged for Rivero Funeral Home to exhume and ship Don Alfonso’s body to El Escorial. According to the Miami funeral home’s Enrique Rivero, when the crypt was opened on the morning of April 23, 1985, Don Alfonso’s remains were revealed to have not completely decomposed, and fragments of the white sharkskin suit remained. The body was transferred to a coffin and a wake was held that evening at Rivero Funeral Home on SW 8th St., where the rosary was recited before many local dignitaries, as well as Doña Edelmira, who had moved to Miami after the Cuban revolution. The following day, Don Alfonso was escorted to Miami International Airport by a motorcycle honor guard of officers representing

every police department in Miami-Dade County. While the Spanish Consul, Emilio Marti Martiny, and Colonel Fernandez watched, the coffin was loaded into the cargo hold of an Iberia 747 and flown overnight to Madrid. On April 25, 1985, Don Alfonso was finally laid to rest with all the honors due a Crown Prince of Spain. “Doña Edelmira remained in touch with the royal family, and despite her divorce, retained the title Countess Covadonga. She died in Miami in 1994, as had Marta Rocafort a year earlier. Neither was buried in Don Alfonso’s crypt, which, according to José Vera of Graceland Memorial Park, remains empty and the property of Don Alfonso’s estate.” — Antolín García Carbonell ••• Edelmira Sampedro is buried down the street at Woodlawn Park Cemetery.

couldn’t see her. I was looking for Edelmira written large and I wasn’t expecting her to be buried with her older sister. Edelmira and Elizarda Sampedro can be found in Section 17, 38. Our next stop was the Miami-Dade Cultural Alfonso de Center that Bourbon holds Miami’s Main Library. We went in search of microfiche. The headlines that ran in the Miami Daily News on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 1938 read: COVADONGA DIES FROM ACCIDENT INJURIES: Spanish Nobleman Is Fatally Injured As Car Hits Pole. A photo taken two hours before his death shows the Count laying in bed with his secretary, Jack Fleming, standing alongside. I left Miami burning with curiosity. I read that the woman our Alfonso claimed was his mother, Edelmira Sampedro, never once gave an interview in more than 60 years, she never remarried,

and she wrote a memoir that was never published. ••• Back at home, I went to pay my respects to Elizabeth. I knew her esteemed father, Johnny Thiele, who passed away recently at the grand old age of 91 years. Johnny’s atelier is next door to D.G. Wills bookstore on Girard Avenue, so I stopped in. “Spanish Royals?” I asked Mr. Wills as I stepped into the store. When he suggested I search on the computer, I would have nothing of it. I wanted to see and hold a book in my hands. “This is all we have,” Wills said, leading me to the center and middle aisle. He held up his hands to indicate that there were only so many books. I stood at eye-level with a winner of the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature: “The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit: A Jewish Family’s Exodus From Old To The New World,” by Lucette Lagnado. An Egyptian by birth, Lucette’s father, Leon, “loses everything and his family is forced to flee, abandoning a

life once marked by beauty and luxury to plunge into hardship and poverty, as they take flight for any country that would have them.” ••• An author who is writing a book about Edelmira Sampedro contacted me. She grew up with Edelmira’s niece, she has access to Edelmira’s unpublished memoir, and she knows García Carbonell who wrote, “Tragic Drama Under the Miami Moon.” The author, who wishes to remain anonymous, told me that when she stumbled upon the story of Alfonso she was intrigued. She wants to weave our Alfonso into her story. Upon hearing the latest news, Erika Torri wrote, “I think the most fabulous thing about this is that whatever (the author) will do a book, short story, screenplay … if she includes Alfonso, he will live on for a long time, maybe forever, isn’t that what we would all want?” Visit La JollaLight.com to read the entire story.

La Jollans lead unique workshop for young women By Linda Hutchison How to help girls and young women form strong, healthy images of themselves and develop leadership qualities will be the focus of an upcoming workshop for mothers and daughters on Tuesday evening, May 22 at the University of San Diego (USD). The “One-Minute” Mentoring Workshop will feature 16 San Diego women from a variety of backgrounds, such as politics, business, sports, education, and the arts, who will take turns talking to mother-daughter teams about relevant topics, from work-life balance to gender discrimination. The mentors include District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, currently running for mayor of San Diego, and Kim Shielkie, a former basketball coach and teacher. The event is being cohosted by WeLead, an organization founded by two La Jolla leadership consultants, and the USD School of Leadership and Education Sciences and the

Joanie Connell Executive Leadership master’s degree program. The two women — Lorri Sulpizio and Joanie Connell — met at USD and then again on a panel discussing the documentary “Miss Representation” at La Jolla Country Day School. The film exposes and challenges the often demeaning images in the media bombarding young women, making it difficult for them to develop a sense of personal power and move ahead confidently in the world. Sulpizio and Connell quickly realized that there is

a need to counteract these images. “It’s an amazing film,” said Sulpizio. “There are a lot of opportunities out there for young women to learn, good ones, like Girl Scouts, but what we recognized is that it needs to be framed differently. How do we make it relevant? What topics are needed? How do we make it stick, have it make sense to them?” And so WeLead was born, with a Facebook page for online sharing and discussion (facebook.com/ WeLeadSD) and the mentoring workshop as its first event. Each of the mentors will take a minute to quickly discuss a topic with rotating teams of mothers and daughters, who will then take three minutes to discuss the topic. “This keeps it fresh, fast, moving,” said Silpizio, adding that it is similar to the concept of speed dating. “It’s a special event that we’re proud of,” said Connell. “It’s of value for young women who need the right experience and for mothers and daughters

Lorri Sulpizio together.” According to Sulpizio and Connell, the workshop will increase mother-daughter bonding, help young women realize their own power, learn from other women, and develop real-life skills. “Adolescence is a time of pulling away, but mothers and daughters still need a common language,” said Connell. “If mothers learn the language of self-empowerment, they can both benefit themselves and mentor their own daughters.” One of the most important real-life skills to develop,

Marilu Henner discusses new book on memory retention at Warwick’s By Pat Sherman Actress and author Marilu Henner was at Warwick’s bookstore May 10 to read from her new book, “Total Memory Makeover: Uncover Your Past, Take Charge of Your Future.” The actress best known for her role on the TV series “Taxi,” (and more recently, for her portrayal of the “Unsinkable Molly Brown” in the 1996 TV-film “Titanic”), is one of only a handful of people diagnosed with Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), a condition in which people can remember vivid details from each day of their lives since early childhood. “Everyone says to me, I have a terrible memory, but you don’t,” Henner told the audience. “Everyone remembers something exceptionally well. I would call that your primary memory track. “It could be sports,” Henner said. “Guys can forget their wife’s birthday, their anniversary, but they’ll remember a game from 30 years ago, who won, and what they were drinking. “I’m all about helping you play to your strengths.” Henner recalled how her father used to say there are three parts to every

event: anticipation, participation and recollection (APR). “The greatest of these is recollection,” she said. “That’s when everything really gets seared into your brain. “Every single thing that you have ever been through is on your mental and emotional hard drive and it’s just waiting to be tapped into so that you can bring it into the present and let it inform your future,” Henner said. “Your brain is capable of (storing) as much as the Library of Congress. There’s so much more that we could remember.”

Though one of the first patients diagnosed with HSAM said that it was a burden to have so much detail constantly flooding back to her, Henner said her memory is not a burden. “It’s so automatic for me,” she said. “It certainly hasn’t kept me from living a full, rich life or having a career or being a mother or a wife — three times,” she quipped. “Marriage is like making waffles,” she added, smiling at current husband Michael Brown, who was seated in the audience. “You always throw the first one out.”

according to Connell, is resilience. “Children today are so protected. They need to learn survival skills, to take risks, make their own mistakes to help them get stronger and build resilience.” This approach to bringing real-life situations into leadership training comes naturally to both Silpizio and Connell. As leadership consultants to major corporations and organizations, both have seen the need to bridge the gap between academic learning and applying this knowledge in the work world. Sulpizio is the founder and CEO of Lotus Leadership Institute, and has worked with many organizations, including the New Children’s Museum and the California Community College Women’s Basketball Association. A former head women’s basketball coach at San Diego Mesa College, she has also taught at USD and Cal State San Marcos. She has a doctorate in organizational leadership from USD and is the mother of three sons 9, 7, and 2, and a

Don’t miss the train heading to ‘The Scottsboro Boys’ If you go

Let’s Review

By diana Saenger

story about boys sentenced to die for something they never did is compelling enough, but mixing it up minstrelstyle in the way “The Scottsboro Boys” is told, is a tour de force not to be missed. An incredible group of male actors pay homage to John Kander and Fred Ebb’s musical talents as they sing and dance up a storm in The Old Globe’s West Coast premiere of “The Scottsboro Boys.” The brilliant story, from a book by David Thompson, swings from a minstrel parody to a heartfelt true story of the tragedy that happened to nine AfricanAmerican boys in 1931. When the song “Minstrel

March” begins, it’s an intro into a shocking tale told through humor and historical revelation. Mr. Tambo (JC Montgomery) and Mr. Bones (Jared Joseph) dressed in 1930s pointy collars, coattails and hats, look like ringmasters in a circus — just what the Scottsboro boys’ trials become. Tambo and Bones are part of a trio that includes the jolly barker, The Interlocutor, (Ron Holgate)

as they take the audience through the many trials the boys endured. The direction and choreography by five-time Tony Award-winner Susan Stroman is superb. Every minute on stage there’s something exciting happening, and the minimal scenic design by Beowulf Boritt works to move the story forward without hesitation. Each actor excels in song and amazing dance numbers.

— a master of ceremonies in a minstrel troupe. The stage is soon full of a lively ensemble springing up and down on a board simulating the train that nine youths set out on to find jobs. Instead, they are charged with the rape of two white girls on the train. Only Kander and Ebb could create tunes, such as “Electric Chair” and “Chair Gang,” that are both entertaining and gut wrenching,

Rudy can be a bit shy and likes to take his time approaching new situations, but he warms up as soon as he becomes more familiar with his environment. He is known around here for making a lasting impression on everyone he meets. Rudy would prefer to go to a home with older or respectful children since he can be a little shy and sensitive at times. His adoption fee is $75 which includes his neuter, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, a certificate for a free veterinary exam, and a license if residing in Oceanside or Vista!

Page B24 - May 17, 2012 - LA JOLLA LIGHT lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not 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, you may call 714-5731965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, Trustee Sale Number 12-0040. 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.

End of Legal Description. The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 8003 AND 8005 OCEAN LANE, 7272 DUNE LANE, LA JOLLA, CA 92037. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $274,056.55 (Estimated) Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. 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, you may call (714)573-1965 or 619-7041090 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
