Boutique Village hotel closes after 14 years By Pat Sherman La Jolla bid farewell last week to the upscale, 20-room boutique Hotel Parisi, at the corner of Prospect Street and Herschel Avenue. A note on the hotel’s website referred former and prospective La Jolla visitors to the Grande Colonial, which it referenced as “another property in the heart of the Village
with similar customer service as ours.” Workers and soon-to-be former employees of the Hotel Parisi were busy sorting and moving everything from furniture and pillows to holiday decorations Thursday morning, May 2.

“It is an excellent fit,” she said. “I’ve worked for the whole city and have that knowledge that I can bring to help La Jolla and enhance the great work the foundation is already doing. “As a new member I’d like to listen and learn, but if there is something in particular that my past work can help them with, that’s what I’m there for,” Dubick said.

Artist’s rendering of renovated areas near the La Jolla Playhouse on the UCSD campus. From Playhouse, A1 The project, which began in late January, will encompass 1.8 acres, and includes four programmable LED video screens to announce current and future events, to be installed along the central pedestrian walkway. Work is slated for completion in August. The architecture firm overseeing the project is Spurlock Poirier Landscape Architects. Bravo! Bravo! The Playhouse is celebrating 24 theater award nominations, including four nods from the Tony Awards, nine from the Drama Desk and 11 from the Outer Critics Circle Awards. “Hands on a Hardbody,” an original Playhouse production that had its world premiere in La Jolla last year, received nine Drama Desk Awards (which, unlike the Tonys, consider both Broadway and Off Broadway productions in the same category). Though the play about a group of broke Texans competing for a new pickup truck
closed on Broadway after only 28 performances, Playhouse Managing Director Michael Rosenberg said it had an impact on critics. The production also received three Outer Critics Circle Award and three Tony Award nominations, including best score (Amanda Green, Trey Anastasio), featured actor (Keith Carradine) and featured actress (Keala Settle). “It’s always harder for a show to get nominations if it’s not running, so it’s really nice that people … still felt they were worthy of recognition,” Rosenberg said. “Chaplin,” which premiered at the Playhouse in 2010, earned just one Tony nomination (Rob McClure’s performance as Charlie Chaplin). However, it received eight Outer Critics Circle nominations (these awards will be announced Monday, May 13; the Tony Awards are June 9). The bio-musical, which tells the story of the silent film legend, had 24 previews and 136 regular performances at the Barrymore Theatre in New York City before it closed in
2013 Tony Award nominee Rob McClure in La Jolla Playhouse’s 2010 worldpremiere production, ‘Limelight: the Story of Charlie Chaplin’ (on Broadway as ‘Chaplin: the Musical’).
‘Hands on a Hardbody’ premiered at La Jolla Playhouse before transferring to Broadway and earning three Tony Award nominations. COURTESY PHOTOS January 2013. “Broadway is a very, very competitive business, where the best projects from around the world come to be seen,” Rosenberg said. “Even if you get one nomination, I think is a really big deal.” Rosenberg said “Hands on a Hardbody” and “Chaplin” will no doubt have futures at theaters around the world, with “Chaplin” headed next for a production in Saint Petersburg, Russia. “We pay attention (to where the productions go) because these writers, these actors, these directors become a part of our family,” Rosenberg said, adding that any future success on Broadway, London or elsewhere is merely, “the cherry on the Cool Whip on the icing of the cake.” Currently, the Playhouse is co-producing works with companies in London and Kansas City, and is collaborating with several companies to bring Daniel Beaty’s play, “The Tallest Tree in the Forest” to the Playhouse. Directed by Moisés Kaufman, the play tells the story of early 20th century
stage and screen star Paul Robeson, an African-American loved for his talent, but reviled for his human rights advocacy. Rosbenberg said the play is still being perfected in anticipation of its Oct. 9-Nov. 3 run in the Playhouse’s Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre. The “re-imagined” Broadway musical “Side Show,” with music by Henry Krieger (“Dreamgirls”) and direction by Bill Condon, is headed to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. after its Playhouse debut (Nov. 5-Dec. 15), Rosenberg said. “This is a show that was done on Broadway in the mid-’90s and did not have a very long life there,” he said. “But it’s a project that almost took on a mythical quality because theater people really responded to it and loved it.” Rosenberg said Krieger and Condon “came up with some really great ideas and said, ‘We’d like to do this in La Jolla, because you guys do new work; you guys find projects and make them better.’”

DOWN THE STRETCH If you think that stretching before your daily run or exercise routine will help loosen you up for your workout, think again. In fact, stretching prior to working out may not only prove to be counterproductive, it may even be potentially harmful. According to a review of more than 100 stretching studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people who stretched before they exercised were no less likely to suffer injuries such as pulled muscles, which stretching exercises are supposed to prevent. Experts say that traditional stretching exercises such as toe-touching often cause the muscles to tighten rather than relax. Stretching a cold muscle to its limit is more likely to cause a pulled muscle than prevent one. Whether you are a serious athlete, casual exerciser or somewhere in between, it is important to stretch the right muscles properly. Ability Rehab is dedicated to educating patients about proper mechanics for a lifetime of healthy activity. Talk to the experts at Ability Rehab for an individualized plan of exercise and stretching or injury rehab and prevention. P.S. It is better to first warm up muscles with light jogging or a sport-specific exercise, which increases blood flow to the muscles and warms the body, then do a few minutes of stretching afterwards.

La Jollan Carol Archibald argues that the city should declare Children’s Pool beach an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area.

The city’s Chris Zirkle said seal haul-out sites in California are often designated as Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas to protect the marine mammals.

Some community planners ready to cede fight over access to Children’s Pool By Pat Sherman Though the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) has repeatedly voiced its opposition to restricting human access at Children’s Pool beach (aka Casa Beach), several members at the group’s May 2 meeting said they are ready to give up the fight and allow the city to designate the beach exclusively for seals. “I think it’s a fait accompli,” said LJCPA trustee Ray Weiss of the city’s plan to close the beach day and night during the seals’ winter pupping season — and possibly year-round. Weiss noted both federal and state laws that support Mayor Bob Filner’s plan to close the beach Dec. 15-May 15, and to dissuade access by installing a rope barrier across the beach during summer (like that currently in place during winter months). The city has proposed amending the La Jolla Community Plan and accompanying Local Coastal Program to establish an
oofr frepair 1s0er% vice rained
Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) at Children’s Pool beach. The amendment would prohibit access to the ESHA during the seals’ pupping season. The city has requested that the California Coastal Commission issue a coastal development permit for the installation of closure signs and a chain barrier at the bottom of the cement staircase leading to the beach. Chris Zirkle, a deputy manager with the San Diego Park and Recreation Department’s Open Space Division, said an ESHA is any area lying within California’s coastal zone containing “especially rare or valuable resources” that can be “easily disturbed or degraded by human activities.” The city has issued a draft negative declaration on the project, a document basically stating that the closure will have no significant impact on the environment. During the meeting LJCPA trustees voted 8-5-1 to reject the negative declaration and

Visually frustrated, LJCPA Vice-chair Joe LaCava explained his decision to support the negative declaration and not request an EIR. “I’m tired of this conversation,” LaCava said. “The dominoes have been falling for quite some time. … It’s time for us to move on; we fought a good fight.” Though LaCava said he believes “the city didn’t step up and do its job” by taking steps to remove the seals when the mammals started to colonize the beach in the 1990s, he said seals have nevertheless taken over. “They own it,” LaCava said. “We’re never going to get that (beach) cleaned up.” LaCava said the LJCPA should instead urge the city to protect the rest of La Jolla’s beaches from colonization through further amendments to the community plan. “I would hope the folks that are in support
of the rookery and the environmentally sensitive habitat area … for the Children’s Pool would join us and encourage the city to … promise they will not allow any colonization to happen at South Casa, the Cove, La Jolla Shores or anywhere else,” LaCava said, drawing applause from seal advocates who came to speak in favor of the beach closure. “Enough is enough,” LaCava said. “I appreciate the people that have been fighting for years and years (to keep the beach open to people), but I want you to go do something else. There are other things to be saved in the world.” Trustee Fran Zimmerman concurred with LaCava, decrying the “vitriol and viciousness” the issue has spawned through the years. “This is not on the table, but I certainly agree that we need to start to come together

Despite the pending Children’s Pool closure, John Leek said a new lifeguard tower is needed because the lifeguards survey five beaches from that spot.
Tim Lucas questioned whether the city should invest millions in a new lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool when it is working to close the beach to protect seals.
From Community Planning, A8 to deal with some of the real issues,” she said. Weiss noted legislation passed in 2009 allowing the San Diego City Council to establish Children’s Pool beach exclusively for use as a marine mammal sanctuary. “I think the people in this room, as passionate as they are about the subject, ought to be realistic about that,” Weiss said. However, trustee David Little urged his board colleagues not to cede their fight just yet, and protect the community plan. “The only thing we have is our laws and our rules,” Little said. “Ray is probably right — we’re going to have seals forever, but we shouldn’t change our community plan.” Trustee Janie Emerson said she is concerned that altering the community plan via a “quick decision” would “set a huge precedent.” “For me, that issue transcends the seals,” she said. Tom Brady said the community has suggested other changes to the planning document that the city has been reluctant to adopt.
“The work and effort that have gone into it by our entire community groups is just so considerable to try and change it in a vote,” Brady said. “I think this is a mistake.” Discussion of whether to reject amendments to the La Jolla Community Plan and Local Coastal Program was tabled until the June LJCPA meeting to provide more time for discussion. Zirkle said the city would next seek a recommendation from the Planning Commission for the proposed amendments, which must ultimately be approved by the California Coastal Commission, though he said they are “consistent with the Coastal Act.”

Mike Costello also said he fears altering the community plan to close Children’s Pool for seals could lead to similar closures at the Cove and elsewhere.
Jihad Sleiman said it is not likely the city will alter the color of the new Children’s Pool lifeguard tower, despite concerns it differs from early proposals.
a third story that would include an art studio, bedroom, living room and kitchen. n Demo permit appealed: The LJCPA also voted to appeal the city’s decision to approve an coastal development permit for the demolition of two Tudor Revival-style cottages on Playa Del Sur in WindanSea. The La Jolla Historical Society has argued that the cottages are historic, while the city’s Historical Resources Board has said there have been too many changes to the cottages over the years, which constitute a “loss of integrity” that diminished their historic value. Mike Costello said the Development Permit Review (DPR) committee has requested that the authors of “two conflicting historic reports” return to the DPR to argue their points before that committee makes a recommendation. The property owner, Karen Visin, said the city denied the historic designation in 2010, and that she believes the time to appeal that decision and the environmental determination has passed.
Phil Merten made a motion to request the city extend the May 18 deadline for public comment on the pending closure of Children’s Pool beach.
n Children’s Pool Lifeguard Tower: The city also presented final designs for the new $3.2 million lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool beach to the LJCPA. City of San Diego project manager Jihad Sleiman said residents in the immediate vicinity of the project will be notified of the project start date, though the city is scheduled to demolish the existing, condemned lifeguard tower next month. Former LJCPA trustee Tim Lucas questioned whether the city should invest more money to build the tower, given that it plans to close Children’s Pool beach. “I think the city needs to maybe put the breaks on this for a couple months and try to figure out which direction this beach is going in,” Lucas said. “It’s millions of dollars at stake here.” However, John Leek said the new tower is needed because lifeguards survey a total of five beaches from it, and also offer paramedic services to pedestrians along Coast Boulevard.

Author: ‘Good enough’ can be the new ‘perfect’ for today’s moms By Ashley Mackin Celebrating the second anniversary of her book “I’m Good Enough is the New Perfect: Finding Happiness and Success in Modern Motherhood” (published on Mother’s Day 2011) temporary La Jolla resident Hollee Temple uses Mother’s Day as a chance to share her advice for working moms on the seemingly impossible balancing act of motherhood and career, and feeling successful in both. Spending her sabbatical in La Jolla with her husband and two sons, Temple is a law professor at West Virginia University and public speaker on her book’s messages. “As a professor, I’m dealing with students in their mid-20s, who are also at the crossroads of ‘how am I going to manage my career and be a mom?’ ” To find out, she and writing partner Becky Beaupre Gillespie sent out surveys through their professional networks and social media. Temple said within 10 days, they received more than 1,000 responses spanning 42 states
and various careers. The results of that survey, which Temple said includes extensive answers to openended questions, is that women find themselves in two groups, which she calls the “never-enoughs” and the “good-enoughs.” The never-enoughs are the textbook perfectionists, Temple said. “They had to be No. 1 in every element of their lives. They were killing themselves at work and killing themselves at home, feeling like they had to excel at everything.” The good-enoughs, “were more able to prioritize and realize it would be impossible to succeed on every front at the same time, and were more directed in how their time and energy was used,” she said. Initially, Temple said she thought the never-enoughs would have more markers of success, because they were so driven to be successful. In reality, the opposite was true, especially in relationships. The good-enoughs reported being happier in marriages and friendships, while the never-enoughs were six

Courtesy times more likely to describe their marriage as “not very good” or even “a disaster.” “The never-enoughs didn’t take time for themselves, they didn’t feel they had that their life reflected their priorities, they didn’t have time for hobbies or friends and generally were less satisfied,” she said, however, they

typically made more money. After sifting through these interviews, Temple came to two conclusions, which are the big messages in the book. n The first, she said, is that doing your best is not the same as being the best. “I think a lot of people confuse those two. They think of … who looks the best, who works out the
most, who makes the best meals for their (families), who only lets their kids eat food grown in the garden,” she said. “People have taken motherhood to such a competitive level these days, it’s like an Olympic event.” n The other message is, don’t chase some else’s definition of success. “You have to choose for yourself what success looks like and it probably won’t look like the success of your co-worker or neighbor or best friend. There are so many ways to be a good mom and … the way that they choose is probably the right way for them,” she said. One way for moms to relieve some of the pressure to be perfect is to choose, and focus on, their own priorities. Drawing from her own life, Temple said she is not crafty, she doesn’t knit and never will, but she likes to cook. “That’s what I prioritize.” She said people ask her what they should do to have better work-life balance. “Moms should not feel that it’s selfish to take care of themselves,” she often replies. “I hear that again and again
— I’ll ask moms ‘When do you get time to relax?’ and a common answer is ‘the dentist chair.’ That’s not enough you time, you deserve more than that, you can’t be the kind of mom and the kind of professional you want to be if you don’t take time to recharge.” Heeding her own advice, Temple often finds herself at the Bellini Beauty Bar on La Jolla Boulevard. She is thinking about taking that piece of La Jolla with her when her family returns to West Virginia. “I’m considering a collaboration with them to open a Bellini Beauty Bar in Morgantown and keep the connection to La Jolla alive,” she said. “I love the idea of providing that opportunity (to recharge) for women.” Giving what she considers adequate time for herself, her job and her children has helped her feel successful. She said she is constantly working on feeling successful in the one thing she considers most important, “I feel strongly that my kids are only going to be little once and I want to be there.”

Survey set to determine downtown San Diego vision The Downtown San Diego Partnership launched a 30-question “You Choose” survey to help identify priorities as they relate to downtown San Diego. The community-directed campaign encourages San Diegans from all regions to build a vision for growth and prosperity in its urban core over the next 40 years. This short choosing survey asks about a potential way of addressing issues such as parking, downtown residential and business
growth, transportation, a sports and entertainment complex, housing, and homelessness. The San Diego region is expected to grow by 1.3 million residents in the next 40 years. This means San Diego communities must accommodate at least 400,000 housing units and 500,000 jobs — and the services that come with this expected growth.

The foundation’s community beautification efforts include the Murals of La Jolla public art project, which in the past month saw the addition of murals by renowned artists Julian Opie and Fred Tomeselli (see accompanying story), and the repaving of a formerly weedy, trash-strewn island known as “the teardrop,” a prominent sight as visitors enter La Jolla from Interstate 5 and state Route 52. The LJCF is also working on a variety of restoration and cleanup projects to ensure that the streets of La Jolla are as beautiful as its views. The Foundation is also installing educational pedestals along the La Jolla shoreline to provide residents and visitors with information about the environment, animals and history the La Jolla coast. To date, two pedestals have been unveiled, including one overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the Birch Aquarium’s Tide Pool.

Artist amped by his inclusion in the Murals of La Jolla By Pat Sherman Brooklyn-based artist Fred Tomaselli said he had sworn off public art before being asked to participate in the La Jolla Community Foundation’s (LJCF’s) Murals of La Jolla project. “When these things start up, sometimes they can take up years of your life,” said Tomaselli, noting his previous involvement in several large-scale, sculptural works, including his 1996 installation at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows, Queens. “That was more of a collaboration with the architects, insinuated within the architecture, so it’s a very different kind of work,” he said, noting a sea of bureaucracy he was required to wade through along the way. “It took like 10 years from conception to final realization of the project. I really wasn’t interested in pursuing (public art) after that, but then this mural project came about.” Tomaselli said LJCF selection committee member Lynda Forsha approached
Brooklyn-based artist Fred Tomaselli Courtesy him through the Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles. “She showed me the building, I gave her an image, it was approved and samples were sent to me here in New York for my approval,” he said. “The next thing I know the thing was printed and up on the wall. It happened really fast. It was very efficient and I had an immediate sense of satisfaction.” The result is a replication of Tomaselli’s 2002 work, “Expecting to Fly (for The Zeros),” an homage to Neil Young’s Buffalo Springfield
composition, “Expecting to Fly,” and the legendary, albeit short-lived Chula Vista punk rock band, The Zeros. Tomaselli said the piece came out of his experience as a “disaffected hippie” living in downtown Los Angeles, as he gravitated toward the burgeoning punk scene of the late 1970s and early ’80s. “The kind of experiences that came out of the ’60s and the experiences that came out of punk rock were all kind of about the same thing … this sort of attempt for a certain kind of transcendence, or maybe in some cases a certain kind of oblivion … this idea of losing yourself,” Tomaselli said. “In this case I’m referring to losing yourself in the crowd. I was looking at the building as almost like a stage, and then this guy’s sort of stage-diving off this building.” Tomaselli said he’s excited to see his larger-than-life art displayed on the brick building at the corner of Torrey Pines Road and Girard Avenue when he
Fred Tomaselli’s mural ‘Learning to Fly for the Zeros,’ near the corner of Girard Avenue and Torrey Pines Road, was installed April 22. Pat Sherman next travels to Orange County to visit family. “I’m going to definitely make time in my schedule to come down there and check it out,” he said. “I always liked La Jolla. I’d like to get back there, check it out, jump in the ocean and eat a fish taco.” Robert Lopez, a guitarist
and vocalist with The Zeros, who also performs as “El Vez: the Mexican Elvis,” said he appreciates the tribute to his short-lived band, which existed from 1976 to ’78, and never cut a full-length album. After being honored with a lifetime achievement award at the San Diego
Music Awards several years ago, The Zeroes reformed, and last month played a sold-out show in Atlanta. “It’s nice that we inspired him to dedicate something to the band — especially in our hometown,” said Lopez, a current Seattle resident, whose father, Robert Lopez Sr., resides in La Jolla.

The hotel was named after Del Mar-based interior designer, Stephanie Parisi, who decorated the space. “He had the vision,” Wagener said of her husband. “He’s the mastermind of all this.” Wagener said a new tenant has already committed to lease the space, though she declined to say who that tenant is. “The lease was up and it was time for us to decide whether we wanted to do this for another 15 to 20 years or whether we wanted to change over,” Wagener said. “We do property management (in La Jolla) and we’ll continue to do property management.” (Peter Wagener is owner and president of La Jolla-based PHP Management).

We had an absolutely fabulous time doing it.” Wagener said she and her husband had no prior experience in the hospitality industry. “We learned from the ground up,” she said. “But the industry was changing at the same time. With the advent of the Internet it was much easier to market ourselves as a small hotel.” Renate Nishio, of Networkers Holistic Home Services, which offered in-room
massage and holistic health services exclusively for Hotel Parisi, said the closure came as sad news. “It was wonderful,” she said. “The feeling that the hotel brought to La Jolla cannot be replaced. It was a one of a kind accommodation … built according to the Chinese five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal and water), very Zen-oriented. It just merged perfectly with our intention to provide holistic services.” Wagener said she is most proud of her European-style continental breakfasts in the second-floor Piccolo room. “It was beyond upscale,” she said. “It had everything from egg soufflé to bread pudding to homemade strawberry jam … Bread & Cie breads, meats and cheeses and fruit plates. It was a full-on smorgasbord.”

Land Rover San Diego adds a ‘touch of elegance’ to the car-buying experience
Jason Puga is the owner and general manager of Land Rover San Diego.
By Catherine Kolonko While there are 166 Land Rover dealerships in the United States, Southern California has a higher concentration than other parts of the country, making it a very competitive market for the luxury cars. With this in mind, Jason Puga, 35, who owns and manages Land Rover San Diego, says he and his team of employees want to make every car-buying experience on his lot a memorable one. Puga settled in the San Diego area after learning about the car business by working at dealerships across the U.S. after graduating from college in New Mexico. About 18 months ago, he accepted an offer from a former associate to become coowner of a Land Rover dealership. He is an equity partner with Kuni Automotive, a privately held company that operates luxury dealerships in several states. Since he took over the site at 9455 Clayton Drive in Mira Mesa as co-owner and general manager, the dealership’s monthly new car sales volume grew from about 25 to 75-85, Puga said. “The last two months we actually were ranked No. 1 in the western region and No. 1 in Southern California” for new car sales, he said. Puga said he believes what sets his dealership apart from the others is his emphasis on creating a valuable customer experience through transparency, a quality not always associated with the car-selling business. Puga, who first sold cars in college, recalled learning from more experienced co-workers the importance of building trust with customers.
“I’ve taught my staff to do the right thing,” said Puga, explaining the core of his business philosophy. “We have to be very competitive, especially in this market. But the differentiating part is the customer is going to get a great experience here. They are going to know they left here being spoken to truthfully … and will be taken care of going forward.” Land Rovers and Range Rovers attract affluent customers who typically earn an annual income from $150,000 to $350,000, and will pay from $40,000 up to $180,000 for a new car. The brand is often the preferred car for independent-thinking entrepreneurs. “They are self-made people,” explained Puga. “They are founders who have established some kind of patent or business owners in the community. They have a different sense of the way business should be operated. They, themselves, have started at some point growing business from the bottom up and have probably become successful because of customer service.” Puga teaches his employees to quickly identify the needs of a potential car buyer. “You have about four minutes for the consumer to make a decision whether or not they want to do business with that person. So building a rapport with the consumer is very important.” Aside from his role as part owner, Puga also works at the dealership where he oversees six managers and 60 employees in his role as general manager. The dual responsibilities allow him to make decisions quickly and respond to customers’ concerns.

No medical marijuana shops in San Diego Today (May 6) the California Supreme Court has upheld the legal position taken by our office for nearly two years. Cities have the right to decide whether to allow marijuana dispensaries to operate within their borders. As I first said in September 2011, and have reiterated dozens of times, there are no marijuana dispensaries operating legally in San Diego because our zoning laws do not allow for them. In 2011 and 2012, our office filed civil lawsuits against some 100 dispensaries. We won every one of them on the grounds that dispensaries are not allowed under San Diego’s existing zoning. This resulted in the closure of most dispensaries in our city. This California Supreme Court decision demonstrates that our office’s interpretation of the law, which has been upheld by local Superior Court Judges, is sound. If the City Council wants to allow

Officials are mismanaging the shores of La Jolla The Great White shark is now on the endangered list and can no longer be hunted. Their numbers went way down. If you research it, you will find alarming stats about their decline; that’s why their food populations went up. It is no mystery why the pinnipeds are now starving. It is the age-old law of supply and demand. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and other organizations, do not want to admit that they are responsible for very poor marine management and have not been prudent about monitoring the underwater ecology, especially as its the spillover from the Marine Protected Area at the Cove. Usually, a great abundance of marine life is the result of an MPA, not so in La Jolla. I have
A poem revisited in light of Children’s Pool closing Regarding the City of San Diego’s new plan to close off access to the Children’s Pool completely during seal pupping season, I paraphrase a famous poem attributed to Martin Niemöller as follows: First they put up a rope barrier, and I didn’t speak out because I liked the seals. Then they closed the beach at night, and I didn’t speak out because I like to sleep at night. Then they closed the beach during pupping season, and I didn’t speak out because the ocean is too cold to swim in during the winter. Then they closed the beach permanently, and I didn’t speak out because there were plenty of other beaches. Then they closed the rest of the beaches in La Jolla, and there was no place left to swim. Eric Korevaar La Jolla
been conducting my own research: no more live mussels, they are gone and they are an indicator species — everything eats them. There are no sea stars, even the Garibaldi are being eaten. I swam from the Children’s Pool to Seal Rock and back and counted three Garibaldi, normally I’d see about 40, at least. The sea lions ARE now starving. Additionally, the feces at Children’s Pool defy logic on a beach in La Jolla! Never should there be feces on the beach. Children’s Pool is a concrete pen and is not healthy for any mammal, marine or otherwise, with such a build up of poop and afterbirth. A natural beach, such as Shell Beach, has tides and surf that keeps the beach clean, not so with Children’s Pool. That alone is a key factor. The seals are now starving in their own feces, and you can watch it on the Seal Cam. That is really disgusting. What will even be more of a tragic situation is when a swimmer gets attacked by a shark because of the marine mammal management failure. Cheryl Aspenleitner RAMP (Restore Access to Many People)

LA JOLLA NEWS BRIEFS By Pat Sherman n WindanSea deal: La Jolla Trust and Rose Trust have purchased the 5,000-squarefoot WindanSea Apartments at 6520-6526 La Jolla Blvd. for $1.95 million. The property is comprised of seven residential units on two parcels. Ray Adams of Cassidy Turley San Diego represented the buyer. Alan and Faye Tassviri represented the seller.
Pool as an ESHA. Brown also wrote that CCC staff did not favor a complete beach closure during pupping season, adding that, “without the results from a comprehensive monitoring program, it is premature to conclude that beach closure is necessary to protect the seal rookery during pupping season. … Commission staff would still recommend that some public access be maintained.”
n Pease penalized: Environmental law attorney and seal advocate Bryan Pease pled guilty last week to misdemeanor trespassing, for an incident in which he allegedly stole a sign from members of the pro-beach access group, Friends of Children’s Pool (FoCP). Pease was ordered to complete 40 hours of community service, and must stay 100 yards from the Children’s Pool. Pease paid restitution of $275 to FoCP for the sign and $75 to the San Diego Council of Divers for the alleged theft of the organization’s flag.
n Developers eying school: La Jolla developers McKellar-Ashbrook offered the San Diego Unified School District $18.5 million for the old Mission Beach Elementary School. The amount exceeds a $16.5 million offer made a year ago for the prime coastal property by San Franciscobased Carmel Partners.
n Beach closure brouhaha: As the city prepares to have Children’s Pool beach designated as an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA, see story, page 8) and close it completely during the seal’s winter pupping season, pro-beach access advocates are mindful that the California Coastal Commission (CCC) did not support this move as recently as August of last year. In a letter to the city’s Park and Recreation Department head, Stacey LoMedico, dated Aug. 28, CCC staff analyst Kanani Brown said that after consulting with CCC’s staff ecologist, John Dixon, CCC staff did not recommend the city establish the Children’s
n Activist honored: La Jollan Christine Forester was honored May 4 during the San Diego County Democratic Party’s annual Roosevelt Dinner at the Hilton San Diego Resort in Mission Bay. Forester, one of La Jolla Light’s 2013 “People to Watch,” was the event’s keynote speaker and the recipient of a Christine Forester Chair’s Award, presented by County Democratic Party Chair Francine Busby. Introducing Forester, La Jolla resident and U.S. Congress member Scott Peters (D-52) called Forester “a terrific and special person”
CRIME REPORT who “counts the President of the United States and his family as her close personal friends. “She is known in many circles as a champion of causes that have improved the quality of life for countless persons,” Peters said, going on to read a note of congratulations that President Barack Obama sent to be read to Forester. A native of Switzerland who began raising funds for Howard Dean’s presidential bid (2003-2004), Forester said the award came as “an overwhelming honor for past deeds,” that “also entails enormous responsibilities going forward. “I accept the responsibilities attached to it, but the honor needs to be shared,” she said, thanking fellow fundraisers, Dale Steele and Isabelle Wasserman, among others. Forester said she generally eschews titles such as “philanthropist.” “If I had the means, I would be one, but I do work for a living. I have to,” Forester said. “My work is what supports my activism.” n Switching sides: Also during the Democrats’ dinner, former San Diego mayoral candidate Nathan Fletcher, who changed his party affiliation from Republican to Independent during last year’s mayoral race, then again last week from Independent to Democrat, was hailed for his recent change of party. As a Republican member of the state Assembly, Fletcher co-authored legislation with then Democratic state Sen. Christine Kehoe that changed a public trust to allow the Children’s Pool to be established as a marine mammal park for the protection of harbor seals.

La Jolla High’s Boys Varsity Golf wins League 2013 By Ursula Sättler-Cohen In the past 3-4 years, La Jolla High School’s Boys Varsity Golf team experienced an influx of new, very talented freshmen. Much was expected from this group of junior golfers and this year they delivered, winning the League 2013. The La Jolla High Vikings remained undefeated throughout the season when they matched up at Torrey Pines Golf Course last week against their archrival and strongest opponent, Cathedral Catholic High School. This was the pivotal match that would decide which of these two powerhouses would win League 2013. Cathedral was two strokes in the lead with the last group of players to come in. Perry Cohen and Ben Leibowitz both delivered an even par score, three strokes better than their opponents. This sealed the win by one stroke. Ben Doyle scored 35/-1, the lowest score for the team. La Jolla’s posted an outstanding final team score of +4 The team finished its season against a lesser opponent the following week, when senior Will
Strauss posted a score of 31/-5 in the nine-hole tournament. On May 1, the Vikings continued their quest by placing first in the San Diego City Conference Tournament, in which 16 high schools and 100 golfers participated. On May 2, the Vikings played on for their individual ranking: n Senior Will Strauss placed second n Junior Perry Cohen placed third n Junior Ben Doyle placed fourth All three players earned First Team All League honors. Ben Leibowitz, Eric Tarakjian and Keller Mattoon earned Second Team All League honors. Strauss will go on and represent La Jolla High in the City Conference Match Play Competition at Torrey Pines next week to defend the trophy won in 2012 by La Jolla sophomore Perry Cohen. The junior players won’t be able to compete in the Match Play Competition, due to AP testing conflicts. The Vikings look forward to continuing their winning streak at CIF.
Members of La Jolla High School’s Boys Varsity Golf team include Ben Doyle (junior), Keller Matton (junior), Ben Leibowitz (junior), Sachin Metha (senior), Coach Bob Townsend, Will Strauss (senior), Perry Cohen (junior) and Eric Tarakjian (senior). Courtesy

Country Day Torreys get by The Rock Warriors, 2-0 By Michael Ragovin Effective pitching, timely hitting and good defense allowed the La Jolla Country Day School Torreys to beat The Rock Academy Warriors, 2-0, in a baseball game at Country Day on May 1. The Torreys had only two runs, but made them count. Their pitching shut The Rock down allowing only four hits and no runs. In the top half of the first, The Rock went down in order striking out twice and grounding out to second base. The bottom of the first began with shortstop Tom Edman grounding out to first. The pitcher, Alfonso Rivas, walked and promptly stole second. Left fielder Dustin Hughes struck out and first baseman Nate Michalski was thrown out at first. The Torreys had no runs, no hits and one runner left on base. The Rock started the top of the second with a single to left on a one-ball, twostrike count. The following batter struck out. A single up the middle chased the runner on first to third and now there were runners on first and third with one out. Rivas walked the next batter, loading the bases. The runner from third was tagged out at home when the batter missed a bunt and the inning ended with a fly ball to right. Torrey designated hitter, Brandon Wachs, was hit by a pitch to begin the bottom of the second. Right fielder Chris

second, again putting a runner in scoring position with less than two outs. The Torreys could not find a way to push across another run. A ground out, a strike out and a pop out to third ended the inning. Country Day still led 2-0. In the top of the fifth for The Rock there was a single followed by two ground outs and a strike out. In the bottom half of the fifth Weisz lined out to right. Then the Torreys loaded the bases on a walk and two batters hit by a pitch but didn’t produce a run. The score remained 2-0. In the top of the sixth the first batter for The Rock flied out to left. The next batter walked and was out attempting to steal second. A ground out to the pitcher ended the top of the sixth. Hughes led off for The Torreys in the bottom of sixth grounding out to second. The next batter walked and was caught in a run down trying to steal second. Two singles were followed by a fly ball to right ending the inning with score still 2-0. In the top of the seventh Edman took the mound for Country Day and struck out the side, ending the game with the final score 2-0 Country Day. Country Day scored two runs on three hits and left several runners on base. One hit certainly came at the right time and the other two did not effect the out come of the game. Leaving runners on base when playing very good teams could be very costly.
PREP BASEBALL Bee grounded to the pitcher, who threw to second, getting the runner from first. That left a runner on first with one out. Bee then stole second and putting a runner on second. Country Day scored no runs and left another runner stranded so there was still no score. The top of the third started with a strikeout and fly out to left. An error by first baseman followed by a single put runners on first and second with two outs. The Rock’s half of the third inning ended on a fly ball to center field. No runs and two left for The Rock in third. The bottom of the third began with Keaton Weisz looking at a third strike. Edman then reached first on an error by the shortstop, stole second and immediately stole third putting a runner on third with one out. Rivas walked and stole second. This set the stage for Hughes to drive in two runs with a single. Edman scored from third and Rivas scored from second putting Country Day in the lead. Hughes was caught stealing and Michalski grounded out to the shortstop to end the inning with the score Country Day 2, The Rock 0. The top of the fourth was an easy inning for the Torreys as The Rock went in order with two ground outs and a strike out. Wachs led off the fourth for Country Day with a walk and stole

Nahieli Caldwell holds a place in her heart for young children in need Nahieli Caldwell, born in Mexico, said she was very young when she first witnessed the hunger of the poor and the cry for help in the eyes of innocent children. The experiences forever changed her life. In her attempt to support those in need, she became involved in many causes ranging from cuddling babies at the DIF Children’s Home in Mexico, to the rehabilitation of at-risk girls at The Girls Probation House in Virginia. Caldwell studied Nahieli Caldwell law at the I.T.E.S.M. University in Monterrey, and continued her education at George Mason University, receiving a Bachelor in International Legal Studies with honors. In 2009, she joined San Diego Social Venture Partners, and became a founding member of Heels2Heal, which most recently helped Miracle Babies raise a significant amount of money. Caldwell said she loves to volunteer in various organizations, but especially with her son at the Bernardy Center for Medically Fragile Children. Caldwell lives in La Jolla with her husband Reed and three children. What brought you to La Jolla? I do not believe in coincidences. I believe that things happen for a reason, and an opportunity to learn is always present. What brought my family to La Jolla was another affirmation of this belief. When my husband, Reed, and I met we both knew we didn’t want to stay long in Virginia. We had both heard that San Diego, particularly La Jolla, was such a gorgeous place and the weather was always beautiful. During our honeymoon in Bora Bora, we met an amazing couple who are now our dearest friends. When they mentioned they were from San Diego, Reed and I immediately looked at each other and simultaneously said we were going to move there in the near future. Even though we had never been there, we were convinced that La Jolla was the place we wanted to raise our kids. Coincidentally (or not?), one of them mentioned that he was a Realtor and said that if we were serious and that time truthfully came, to give him a call so he could help us find what we were looking for. Three months later, we planned a trip with the kids to visit San Diego, we all fell in love with the city and decided that, no matter how, we would move soon. Against all odds, we moved to

By Pat Sherman t 100 years of age, La Jolla’s Peter Fortescue is still aglow with the energy and enthusiasm that fueled his career as head of research and development at General Atomics — and which led to his distinction in the field of nuclear energy as “father of the gascooled, fast-breeder reactor.” “Money was important, of course, but it didn’t dominate; I just liked my job,” said Fortescue, whose work with General Atomics earned him a Franklin Institute Award and a George Westinghouse Medal. Born May 15, 1913 in the village of South Brent in southwest England, Fortescue said he left school at age 16 to begin a five-year engineering

Retired General Atomics lead research and development engineer Peter Fortescue ruminates on his life and career at his La Jolla home. Pat Sherman apprenticeship with the now-defunct Great Western Railway Company. Fortescue earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the University of London, and later received a Whitworth Scholarship that helped the high school “dropout” become an innovator in the fields of both jet engine and nuclear power development. Fortescue worked on engine cooling research for Bristol Aerospace, where he advanced designs for what was to become the world’s first turbo-prop aircraft engine. In 1947, as developed countries began to shift nuclear research from the atomic
bomb to harnessing atomic energy for naval propulsion and electricity, Fortescue joined Harwell’s Atomic Energy Research Establishment, rising to become Deputy Chief Scientific Officer. In 1957, on the recommendation of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sir Douglas Crockcroft, Fortescue moved to La Jolla with his wife, Kay, daughter, Mia (Mary), and son, Michael, to take a position with San Diego’s newly established General Atomics. His first project at General Atomics was to lead development of a gas-cooled,

Inga’s guide to being a mother-in-law
Let Inga tell you ...
I
La Jolla Cultural Partners
was thinking about writing a guide on how to be a good mother-inlaw, but truthfully it can all be summed up in two words: “Shut. Up.” My long-time motto, to which I have, alas, faithfully failed to adhere, has always been “A closed mouth gathers no feet.” As anyone who has read my column for a while might guess, letting an opinion go unvoiced is not my strong suit. But I really try hard with my two daughters-in-law who are truly the daughters I never had and whose good opinion is my utmost
priority. Having been a daughter-in-law twice myself, I vowed I would be a dream mother-in-law. A friend of mine insists that’s an oxymoron. But then, this is a woman whose bedroom sports a throw pillow averring “The only good inlaw is a dead in-law.” I’ve learned a lot from both of my mothers-in-law (my second husband’s mother is still living). My first mother-in-law only ever referred to me in the third person, even when I was there, and preferably without conjunctions, as in: “Ask The Shiksa she wants dessert.” These in-laws escaped from Russia in the dead of night with the clothes on their backs, enduring incredible hardships in their new land all so that their son, the doctor, their phoenix rising out of immigrant ashes, could marry … me? SO not
part of the plan. Ironically, with the passage of time (and the raising of two sons), I have tremendous empathy for her position. Now that I have adult sons, I know I would be devastated if either of them married someone I truly thought was wrong for him, regardless of the reason. I wish she were alive today so I could tell her. (She’d still probably tell me to drop dead, but I’d feel better saying it.) My current mother-inlaw actually likes me. And I adore her. Although very fond of her son’s first wife, I think she wishes Olof and I had married the first time around. (So do my former in-laws.) The one thing I told both of my daughters-in-law from the get-go was that I was trying to learn their tastes so that if I got them a gift they didn’t like, they
needed to say so. As a cautionary tale, I relayed the saga of a friend who, as a new bride, politely gushed over a hideous china tchotchke her motherin-law gave her. She has continued to receive another one for every birthday and Christmas for the last 34 years. Two years ago, her mother-in-law surprised her with a display case for them. Honestly, I knock myself out to stay on my daughters-in-law’s good sides, and fortunately they are such sweethearts that they make it easy for me. But occasionally, despite my best efforts, I just screw it up. When my tiny grandkids were down visiting a few months ago, I thought it would be really fun to take a bunch of cheapo on-sale hotdog buns down to our favorite sunset spot to feed the seagulls.
Now at the time, the sun was setting at around 5 o’clock so it was just before dinner. Neither of my daughters-in-law are food fanatics, but they quite reasonably prefer to maximize the nutritional value of whatever they happen to be feeding their kid. So as you might guess, not a lot of white bread. But as soon as we got down to the sunset place and each kid had a bag of hotdog buns in hand, they started eating them instead of tearing off pieces for the birds. (“Whoa! You don’t even have to chew this stuff!”) Mom quickly confiscated the buns and handed them pieces to throw but these went into mouths just as quickly, despite admonishments to the contrary. I could see daughter-in-law’s jaw tightening. This well-intentioned happy activity was tanking
fast. It was such a good idea! Which so totally failed! The kids were, of course, way too full of nutritionally-bankrupt processed flour product to eat dinner. My daughter-inlaw was totally nice about it. But in my mind’s eye, I feared becoming fodder for her next dinner party. Sadly I know women who really don’t like their daughters-in-law and have even engaged in the ultimate mother-in-law act of aggression, i.e. sending the grandchildren drum sets for Christmas. I’m going to continue to be phenomenally grateful that I ended up with the daughters-in-law that I did. But next time: whole-wheat buns. After dinner. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach Inga by e-mail at inga47@san.rr.com

Fans of fresh fare will find a feastful at Tender Greens By Kelley Carlson ender Greens brings the outside inside. From the recycled woods in the decor to organic products from area farms, the restaurant takes an environmentally friendly approach to dining. The emphasis is on fresh ingredients, much of them obtained locally and around Southern California. “We try to give back to the community, make the best food possible, and support local farmers,” said Peter Balistreri, chef at the UTC location. “Everything comes from the farm to the fork.” Much of the fare is prepared in-house, including the cheese, mustard and ice cream. Tender Greens also does its pickling on site and cures its own bacon. The Charcuterie Board is a prime example of the restaurant’s capabilities, featuring thin slices of chile flake-and-fennel salami and Salami Point Loma (Rosemary and garlic), a silky-smooth chicken liver pate, pickled beets, celery stalks, olives, radishes, spicy mustard and roasted red peppers. But the majority of the menu revolves around salads. The Harvest Salad is light and fruity, and changes with the season — the current version contains strawberries, tangerines and grapefruit, roasted almonds, creamy Drake Farms goat cheese and Scarborough Farms lettuce from Oxnard, all tossed in a golden, balsamic vinaigrette. Among the greens with proteins is the Chinese Chicken Salad, composed of freerange shredded chicken, crispy wontons,

One of the items unique to the UTC location is the Steamer, which changes daily and consists of mussels or clams steamed in a pot. A specialty is the mussels with chorizo, Thai basil and cilantro in a slightly spicy broth, served with bread to sop up the juices. The signature item is the Hot Plate, in which customers have a choice of chicken, steak or tuna, served with mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables and a simple salad. There are similar selections for kids: Quesadilla, grilled-cheese sandwich, flatiron steak or grilled chicken — presented on a paper mat that includes puzzles and games.
Guests eat their ‘greens’ in the dining room with large windows and wood dividers. As for beverages, children can take delight in the natural sodas, while parents can indulge in local beers and wines. The dining room utilizes various types of recycled woods and organic materials. Large windows allow for plenty of natural light during the day. It’s enlivened with artwork by U.K. artist Jon Burgerman that some people describe as “bright” and “twisty,” along with the rhythms of world music. When the room is filled to capacity or the weather is pleasant, customers filter outside to the patio with awnings, heat lamps and succulents. The restaurant is next to the clock tower in UTC Mall, so guests will often hear performers in the main plaza nearby.

Courtesy FROM 100 YEARS OLD, B1 high-temperature nuclear reactor for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station in Pennsylvania — the first of its kind in the United States. “That, of course, really boosted my career,” Fortescue said. “I was lucky to be at the right place, at the right time, because the American reactor worked at extremely low power and I was called in simply because of my background (in heat transfer).” Following the successful launch of Peach Bottom, Fortescue became both a U.S citizen and General Atomics’ Chief Research and Development Engineer. After renting in La Jolla for a few years, Fortescue
and his family purchased a home in Rancho Santa Fe, before he was transferred to General Atomics’ satellite office in Zurich, Switzerland for three years. He returned to San Diego in 1969 and eventually purchased the home he now resides in on Torrey Pines Road. “It almost never rained here, which, coming from England, I appreciated,” Fortescue said. His daughter, University City resident Mia Fortescue, said famous scientists were always dropping by their home, including Edward Teller, considered the “father” of the hydrogen bomb. “General Atomics was very exciting for him and he made a lot of friends there,” said Mia, noting that
several of her father’s colleagues attended his 100th birthday party May 5 at La Jolla Cove Bridge Club. “He always said he loved going to work.” At home, Mia said her father had a lot of frenetic energy. “My mother was always telling him to sit still, because it was like watching a tennis match,” she said. “He was always pacing around, and had a very active mind.

FROM 100 YEARS OLD, B5 completely unintelligible calculations on them.” Mia said her father would often bring home parts from projects he was working on for her and her brother to tinker around with. “I was always asking him questions about science and life in the universe and what we were doing here, and he was always happy to give me information — but on a level that was way beyond what I could comprehend,” she said. “I was always very impressed with his mind.” Still, Fortescue enjoyed breaks with his family, during which he exhibited the same sense of adventure as his uncle, Percy Fawcett, the eccentric adventurer whose 1925 disappearance in the Amazon has inspired several documentaries and a recent book. “When we came to the states we went to all the national parks and would go camping in the sequoias,” said Mia, noting frequent hikes with her father along “Fat Man’s Misery,” a steep, pine-ensconced canyon path at Torrey Pines State Reserve that has been closed

After dinner, we all went swimming in the ocean, fully clothed, because the water was so warm.” Mia said she attributes her father’s longevity, in part, to his disposition. “He’s very even-tempered and always had a pretty positive view of life,” she said. “He liked driving everybody else out of their
minds, but he was always happy.” Though Mia said her father likes “heavy creams and sugars poured on everything,” he always ate in moderation, she said. “He’s always had a very small appetite and he’s always been very thin — and extremely disciplined,” she said. “He has to have lunch at 12 o’clock, and he eats very much the same things all the time.” The quintessential, oldschool English gentleman, Fortescue is usually donning a sports jacket, and smokes a pipe three or four times

per day. Fortescue’s wit is apparent in this passage from his autobiography, “From Diapers to Dotage,” in which he writes of his first visit to San Diego: “I remember Freddie offering what was to me a disgusting American concoction known as iced tea. This I poured out of the nearest window as soon as he was gone. The beautiful plants outside promptly withered and died.” Though the future of nuclear power continues to be in question (with the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station subject to potential closure), Fortescue remains among its strongest defenders. He said he believes the United States needs to reopen the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository, which was closed when the Obama Administration cut its funding in 2010. “You can forget about the solar stuff,” he said. “The amount it could contribute would be completely negligible. … What they don’t mention is that although it’s theoretically cheap enough to make these solar panels, that’s only because they’re heavily subsidized.”

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 sunny San Diego four months after that visit. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? We lived very close to the Village for three years, and I’d love to get rid of that smell coming from where the birds and seals live! We live in the Shores now, so I might like to magically raise the water temperature several degrees all year round. Who or what inspires you? There are many people that I admire and who inspire me, but I would have to say that my family is the “who” that inspire me
the most to be the best person I can be. The “what” would have to be any act of kindness and compassion, especially when directed toward a child. My grandfather, one of those people I deeply admire, used to say during his years in the government, “Every program for the future must begin with the child. Children have been the inspiration of my government.” Alfonso Martinez Dominguez (1985). Children are not only our future, they are from whom we learn the most (like unconditional love), and who we should protect the most. This is why I feel so passionately about Miracle Babies and its mission to provide support and
financial assistance to families with critically ill newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I would start with my best friend, accomplice, and love of my life, my husband, Reed. The other seven would be: Jesus, Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama, Abraham Lincoln, my late grandfather Alfonso Martinez, Nelson Mandela, and Eckhart Tolle. The latter, so he could keep reminding me to be in the present moment at this surreal dinner party I am having with all my favorite teachers and archetypes.
What are your five favorite movies? Those would be: “Gone With the Wind,” “The Godfather,” “Out of Africa,” “Casablanca,” and the “Shawshank Redemption.” What is it that you most dislike? Violence and cowardice; I believe that fear is the opposite extreme of love, what separates us from each other, and what drives people to behave in ill and hurtful ways. What is your mostmarked characteristic? I believe that talking about oneself is not polite, but I do try incorporate in my practice the important question of “who am I?” I think the answer to this question lies in the things I love to do. I enjoy being around people and learning what it is that makes each one of us behave the way we do. This has allowed me to seek and meet people from different backgrounds, cultures, and countries. I have discovered that we are all very different, but also that we are all intrinsically
one. When you look deep into the eyes of a person you can see their soul and at that profound level it is easier to communicate more purely with who that person really is and what he/she is really feeling. That is why I truly value the feeling of empathy, because it allows us to experience deep connections with others and, where we can, feel the power of the collective and our relationship to source, to oneness. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Nothing can ever go wrong when you act with kindness. My name, Nahieli, literally means “Love,” so I try my best to live accordingly to what my name represents. Be Happy. Be Here. Be Kind. Be Love. What would be your dream vacation? Traveling is one of my passions in life, I have had the opportunity to visit different countries and have seen a little of the breathtaking beauty of the world we live in, but I have
yet to visit a place that is truly a retreat from the modern, hectic world. Somewhere I can connect with the area, the people, the culture, and the environment and glean the energy and pureness from it. Perhaps Tibet, a place where I can just “be.” What is your greatest extravagance? Signing in haste a oneyear lease on a house in La Jolla that I had only seen in pictures via e-mail, not knowing with any certainty if my family and I were going to be able to relocate from Virginia. I just had total faith that things were going to work out in our favor so we could move to our dream city.

Cheers Foundation hosts Life-Links health lecture at La Jolla High
T
he National Cheers Foundation, a non-profit women’s health organization based in La Jolla, announced the first of its series of educational Life-Links forums. It is the goal of the group to help bring health education awareness back into the public schools with talks designed to inform and empower women of all ages with a contemporary look at health and body image. Carol LeBeau The inaugural presentation will be held at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 15, in Parker Auditorium at La Jolla High School, 750 Nautilus St. Carol LeBeau, a health and fitness reporter for nearly three decades, as well as a cancer survivor, will discuss the importance of making health priority one. LeBeau is a spokesperson for Palomar Pomerado Health and this year has been named San Diego Chair and Promise Leader of the Girl Scouts of the USA’s 100th Anniversary celebration. Karin Devine, founder and director of the ThinkLink/ Network and Jackie Helm, a Realtor at Gallery Properties, are leading the Life-Links series. “We have selected the high school format to capture a young audience, and with the support of La Jolla High School, the district, and the PTA, we expect to reach a large audience through e-blast announcements directed weekly to families and the student body,” Devine said. “Our intent is to offer a comprehensive health awareness program with top speakers to help launch this project throughout the San Diego School District, and we reach out now to the San Diego community to help make this a success with your support and attendance.” For more information, visit nationalcheersfoundation.org

These womanly foods are for Mother’s Day and always
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman
S
ince moms are so precious to us, the best gift we can give them on their special day is a list of foods to keep our gal pals healthy, happy, youthful and sexy. Here’s a primer on fabulous female foods for all ages to relish on Mother’s Day and throughout the year. Skin savers Women want to keep that youthful glow and taut complexion. Some choice foods like guava, a tropical collagen factory that helps build and plump up skin cells, make nature’s best plastic surgeons. Whip up a guava smoothie for mom, guava gazpacho (see recipe at right) or feta and roasted guava salad for a daily dose
of anti-aging. Romaine lettuce, the Vitamin A king of leafy greens, will also rev up skin-cell turnover to rejuvenate skin and give a luminous radiance. Rich in Vitamin K, these luscious leaves will reduce bone loss to help keep the jaw and chin line youthful. If you love nuts, pop some selenium-rich Brazil or Vitamin E-packed almonds in your lunchbox to ward off free radical cell damage. To keep the skin hydrated and flush impurities from your body drink plenty of water (6-8 glasses a day). For a more palatable swig, add a splash of pomegranate juice or float some cucumber slices on top. Also, eat water-packed foods (like watermelon and honeydews) to plump up those thirsty cells. Bone health As women age (especially as they turn the corner at 50), they should boost their calcium-rich food intake to keep bones strong and ward off dreaded osteoporosis. To this end, nothing beats sardines and wild-caught
Fountain of Youth Guava Gazpacho My refreshing gazpacho is like a bowl of Botox to keep mom looking fine.
n Ingredients: 2 ripe guavas, seeded, cut in cubes 4 assorted heirloom tomatoes, chopped 2 Persian cucumbers, finely chopped 1 red pepper, finely chopped 1/2 red onion, finely chopped 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce 2 cups vegetable juice 1/2 cup fresh orange juice 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice Handful fresh chopped cilantro 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Salt and pepper to taste n Method: Combine ingredients in a large glass bowl and stir gently. Chill for 2 hours. Ladle into martini glasses and garnish with lime slices. Cheers! salmon (preferably canned in pure olive oil with calciumrich skin and bones intact), low-fat dairy, dark leafy greens — kale, spinach, chard and collards — calciumfortified orange juice and enriched grains. Vitamin D is an invaluable ally to bones in helping absorb calcium from the gut. Pumping iron While women generally need more iron than men, menstruating women
require even more iron than postmenopausal ones. To pump iron into your diet (and prevent anemia) the best sources include dark leafy greens, beans and legumes (like chickpeas and lentils), dried apricots, mollusks (scallops, clams), egg yolks and artichokes. Bladder matters Cranberries are a girl’s bladder’s best friend. This tart little cousin to the mighty blueberry is rife with
Vitamins A, B, C and K, a slew of minerals, antioxidants, and especially proanthocyanidins with anti-adhesion properties that prevent and treat pesky urinary tract infections. Drink cranberry juice straight up to pack the most potent anti-bacterial punch, or blend in muffins or scones, chutneys, salads or raw trail mixes. Breast health A woman’s best arsenal against breast cancer: Vitamin D-rich foods (organic eggs, milk, mackerel, salmon, sardines and cod liver oil); a 15-minute daily dose of the sun’s rays; omega-3 rich flaxseed, walnuts, sunflower and sesame seeds; and cruciferous warriors (broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, turnip greens and cabbage). Green and black teas contain antioxidants called polyphenols, which are also thought to prevent cancer cells from dividing. Heart smart Seafoods rich in omega-3
fatty acids, along with seaweed and other oceanic veggies, are heart-loving treasure troves. Look for supplies of wild-caught, deep sea, cold-water fish like salmon, herring (pickled in wine, not sour cream), mackerel and anchovies. Seeds and nuts are omega-3 powerhouses, too, for those who don’t do fish, while olive and sesame seed oils are best for the heart. Libido lifts Dr. Mehmet Oz has the perfect prescription for perking up tired romantic wiring by jump-starting testosterone levels. Sexy little zinc-rich foods can do the trick by putting the skids on enzymes that morph testosterone into estrogen. Pumpkin seeds are loaded with the high-octane mineral, along with wheat germ, lamb, crab and super dark chocolate. Also, fresh basil has been touted as a powerful libido booster, perhaps because it’s been found to cure headaches! — For additional Mom’s Day recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

The Latest & Greatest in Cosmetic Surgery
Christine Estabrook is Hope and Zoë Winters is Melody in the Bekah Brunstetter’s ‘Be a Good Little Widow,’ at The Old Globe Theatre. Snaps Studio
Love, loss, laughter converge in The Old Globe Theatre’s ‘Be a Good Little Widow’ By Diana Saenger The loss of loved ones is inevitable throughout life, but the experience can sometimes be made easier when we can laugh again or really understand our pain. Playwright Bekah Brunstetter explores this theme in the touching, quirky comedy, “Be a Good Little Widow,” directed by Hal Brooks for its West Coast premiere at The Old Globe Theatre. Melody (Zoë Winters) has recently experienced the best of times and the worst of times. She’s newly married but becomes a widow shortly thereafter when Craig (Ben Graney) dies. Also grieving over the loss is Melody’s mother-in-law, Hope (Christine Estabrook), who takes on the role of comforter and mentor even though deep inside she’s mourning as well. Estabrook said she was excited to jump back into a stage play after filming a television pilot. She said “Be a Good Little Widow” is intense, but the script also has humor, and she found it somewhat cathartic.
If you go ■ What: ‘Be a Good Little Widow’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings May 11-June 9 ■ Where: Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego ■ Tickets: From $29 ■ Box Office: (619) 234-5623 ■ Website: TheOldGlobe.org “I don’t have any children of my own, and when you play a role like this you realize what you’ve missed (motherhood), even though I have two wonderful stepchildren,” she said. “I think the story will help people to understand mothers better, because this woman (Hope) has the best intentions of what she’s trying to do for Melody.” For Hope, the situation is doubly difficult. She’s spent
years mourning the death of Craig’s father, and now she must grieve for her son’s death, while also leading Melody through the sorrow and the drastic change in her life. “Hope is tightly wound but she has the best idea of the way to approach someone in this situation because she’s had a lot of experience,” Estabrook said. “She also wants her son’s memory to be honored in a certain way … Melody wants to raise him up as a guy — what he liked to eat, and more about his normal life. It’s grand versus individual, and that’s where Hope and Melody butt heads. It’s so unlikely they will ever get along … but we find solace in the strangest bedfellows.” Of the playwright, the Globe’s new artistic director Barry Edelstein said, “One of this theater’s most important jobs is to introduce San Diego audiences to the voices that will shape the next period in American theater, and Bekah’s is surely one of those.”

ray skies and light rain couldn’t stop Muirlands Middle School supporters from attending the Muirlands Rocks! fundraiser on May 5 at the 1056 Nautilus Ave. campus. All proceeds will be used to pay for teaching positions. Funds were raised through ticket sales that paid for games; face, hair and nail painting; a photo booth; and food. A local band, Lightning Starts Fire, performed while past, present and future middle students played games in the rain; their parents watching with umbrellas. — Ashley Mackin

hen Ron and Marg Bowers opened Bowers Jewelers on La Jolla’s Wall Street in 1945, they could never have known that their business would later become one of the longest standing retail landmarks in the community. But 65 years and a few blocks later in the heart of Girard Avenue, Bowers Jewelers, under the ownership of Larry and Sheila Combe is a thriving La Jolla business. Bowers’ history is one of family tradition and loyalty. Larry’s mother Adele once worked as a designer for the store. Larry later joined her as an employee until he purchased the business in 1981. Since then, he and wife Sheila of 39 years, have been the go-to for La Jollans when it comes to fine jewelry, unique trinkets, jewelry repairs and exceptional, personalized service. With an unparalleled selection, fine quality and real personality, the family feel at Bowers is contagious. Patrons
are encouraged to pull up a chair while they marvel at the many unique necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and time pieces on the showroom floor.

Four newcomers share latent art passions at La Jolla exhibit By Will Bowen Last week’s exhibition at the La Jolla Art Association (LJAA) galleries was all about artistic passion and the importance of pursuing and expressing one’s creative spark. The lesson is that despite age or occupation, creativity can emerge as a force in our lives. The show was decidedly eclectic. It featured the work of two female painters and two male photographers. The women, Pat Hunter and Jacquie Wade, both became serious about painting somewhat late in life, in spite of having very time-consuming careers. This was the first exhibition for each. The photographers, Michael Huff and Robert Conaway, are both newcomers to the art world as well, using their cameras as a creative outlet in their after-work hours. n Pat Hunter A realtor in Escondido who has painted on and off for 40 years, Hunter said she only became serious about her artwork in the last five years, pursuing lessons under teachers Perrietta Hester and Rae Ann Marks, former students of the late Sebastian Capella. At the LJAA reception for
Pat Hunter the artists on April 27, Hunter explained: “I am at the time of life when I can finally spend time doing what I really want to. I am trying to let my inner artist out. I love looking for beauty and trying to paint it. It’s a complete escape to stand before a white canvas with a brush and paints and try to let these tools speak in a meaningful way. It was a great deal of work for me to do this show, but it feels so rewarding to have all these people here — I sold a piece of art to boot!”
Jacquie Wade n Jacquie Wade Wade is a friend of Hunter’s and a lawyer who works out of offices in San Marcos and Carlsbad during the day, focusing on estate planning, trusts and wills. She said Hunter talked her into taking a drawing class. “I started painting and drawing when I was little. I didn’t do it for 38 years but I always knew that someday I would,” Wade said. “I still have to work and can only paint about three days a month, but eventually I want to be able to paint every day.
2013 Coronado Historic Home Tour
“I like to paint kids and people the best. There is something about a moment when I can see a person’s heart come out. I try to capture that feeling and as I paint, I can hold onto that feeling in me for a long time and I can share it with others. “For the future, I want to continue to paint, to show more and to sell more, although I do feel pangs of self-doubt. I did sell two paintings today. This is definitely the next thing I will do with my life. Today’s reception was just a little teaser!”
n Michael Huff Fine art photographer Huff said he finds his artistic outlet with a Nikon camera, shooting landscapes and surf scenes. During the day, Huff works as a supply chain manager for CM Distributors, which handles jobs for Sempra Energy and SDG&E. “I took up photography because I needed a creative outlet to balance my worka-day job. I used to work as a recording engineer in Los Angeles. I worked on 13 No. 1 records — two with
Grammy nominations. That was a very creative job but after a while I felt I needed a change. “Photography is a very creative art form. You have to consider composition and lighting. You search for that perfect visual moment and try and capture it on film. My heroes are the great Ansel Adams and Aaron Chang, the surf photographer in North County. I like anything to do with water, that’s why I

From Artists, B22 call my exhibit ‘H2O.’” Huff has an incredible photograph of the Golden Gate Bridge in his show titled “The Golden Good Bye.” He said he took the shot on the way back from releasing his sister’s ashes at sea near San Francisco. “It was a solemn moment and as our boat was passing under the Golden Gate Bridge, a humpback whale breached and I saw this opportunity for a shot of the bridge, which I took in black and white because it seemed appropriate for the moment.” Currently, Huff is working on a collection of black and white photographs of San Diego’s homeless population. “I assumed the pictures would be tragic and sad, but what is coming out of the camera are these shots of homeless people kind of at peace in some way, even though they are destitute. You see it in the pictures!” n Robert Conaway Photographer Conaway works as a chef at Porta Vista Hotel in Little Italy

Robert Conaway during the day. He grew up in El Cajon and attended the California Culinary Institute in San Francisco. (He created an incredible minted split pea soup with bacon foam for the LJAA reception.) He worked internationally at the Furuma Resort on China Beach in Vietnam, and in Dubai at the Moven Pick Hotel. “In Dubai, as an outlet for my 90-hour work week, I would walk around with my
Michael Huff
Pentax camera and take pictures of buildings. One of my pictures in the show is of the world’s tallest building.” Conway said he now shoots with a 1976 Leica R3 and a 1960 Hasselblad. “My plan for the future is to take long-exposure shots of San Diego that blur out all the activity and traffic. It’s an attempt to call attention to the days when San Diego was less crowded,” he said.

You will be bidding on a lien, not the property itself. Placing the highest bid at 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 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 visit this Internet Web site www. Priorityposting.com , using the file number assigned to this case 18852CA. 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. In addition, the borrower on the loan shall be sent a written notice if the sale has been postponed for at least ten (10) business days. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

Floral masterpieces take center stage at annual Art Alive By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt or its 32nd annual Art Alive fundraiser, the San Diego Museum of Art once again filled its galleries with flowery interpretations of selected works in the permanent collection, created by more than 100 floral designers. At the April 26 opening, some 1,000 museum friends and supporters gathered to enjoy the art-and-flora extravaganza, along with tasty tidbits, tequila cocktails, live music, dancing and camaraderie. This year, Art Alive segued into Flowers After Hours, which SDMA called “a swanky after-bash for late-night bloomers.” Until 1 a.m. there were brews, bites and music in the Rotunda, which was transformed into a grand-scale display of East and West Coast greenery, with a 12-foot moss-covered angel reaching down from the skylight. The East-meets-West installation was designed by Bella Meyer, the Paris-born granddaughter of Marc Chagall, who lives and works in New York City, where she is creative director of Fleurs Bella. Guests roamed through the galleries, admiring the floral designs and the museum’s fabulous first-floor facelift, a colorful sight in itself. And the prizewinning floral designers, chosen by museum members, included La Jollan Judy Chance (Third Place), Jolene De Hoog Harris (Second Place), and Diana Normandin (First Place).
