By Kathy day kday@lajollalight.com The neglected Top of the Cove restaurant property is on the market for $7.5 million, according to Mike Slattery, Grubb & Ellis|BRE Commercial, who has the exclusive listing for the property. The 9,200-square-foot building with spectacular views of the coastline has been vacant since 2006 when it was purchased by James Brennan, who had planned
extensive renovations. Brennan, a La Jolla resident and nightclub owner, obtained a loan from owner Sheila Lipin, who also invested in Brennan’s company. But parking and permitting issues slowed the project and then the economy soured. A lawsuit ensued, which was settled out of court. Brennan is no longer involved. Since then, Slattery said, several potential investors have inquired about the property in recent
years, but it was only recently that SGL Holdings LLC., of which Lipin is the managing member, decided to put the property on the market. “The property is fully entitled and permitted for a major restaurant,” Slattery said, although it does not have a current liquor license. The plans, designed by La Jolla architect Claude-Anthony

July 4th fundraising effort extended By dave SChwaB daves@lajollalight.com Fundraising for La Jolla’s annual fireworks display at the Cove has been extended a week even as a court battle rages over whether pyrotechnic displays over water should be required to do environmental impact reports as a condition of their approval. As the Light went to press on Tuesday, a spokesman in Mayor Jerry Sanders office said an appeal was imminent of last week’s decision by Superior Court Judge
Linda Quinn that the city is bound by California environmental quality laws when issuing permits for fireworks shows. Meanwhile, Deborah Marengo, a board member of the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation formed in 2009 to coordinate the event, said the group has raised $19,600 as of Tuesday morning so she said she would “extend the deadline another week (June 8).”

Shores project draws ire By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Agitated La Jolla Shores residents and merchants fearful of construction dislocation and the survival of their small businesses, pleaded with city officials Wednesday night to postpone a storm drain, sewer and water project along Avenida De La Playa. “With a little bit more time, maybe you’ll find a resolution that will not kill the little businesses,” said Nanci Kirk, La Jolla Shores Association board member and owner of Papalulu’s at the Shores Restaurant. “There’s no question you will kill me. You can’t throw this on us this fast and destroy us. That’s what you will do.” Isabelle “Izzy” Tihanyi, said at the meeting called by the city at the La Jolla Riford Library, she was “speaking on behalf of a lot of the businesses that have seen that street chewed up and are suffering from the recession and the worst summer last year in 75 years.” She asked that the city “consider postponing this for two more years to give the businesses a chance to revive and save up to handle the hit we’re all going to take for eight months when the city does construction.” Labeled the Avenida De La Playa Infrastructure Replacement Project, the $3.6 million project would replace 1,300 feet of storm drain, 1,200 feet of sewer and 150 feet of water line and the (ocean) outfall structure in La Jolla Shores. City officials say the work is required because of frequent flooding of undersized storm drains on Avenida De La Playa, which feeds directly into the ocean posing a pollution threat to the Area of Special Biological Significance (ASBS) offshore.

The are proposing working block-by-block in four phases beginning at the beach and working backward toward La Jolla Shores Drive, starting in September 2012. City engineer Akram Bassyouni told the 30 or so people at the meeting the “storm drain is totally under-capacity. Avenida De La Playa is the lowest point in the area where all the water goes, and there’s no way to divert the water: There’s nowhere else for the water to go.” Longtime La Jolla Shores landlord Martin Mosier challenged city engineers’ conclusion that the system is too small, asking to see their calculations and asserting a different reason for the flooding. “That system is backing up because the weir (a dam-like device used to alter the flow characteristics) on the beach is clogged because the city hasn’t maintained it,” he said, adding there’s been little or no development along that stretch of Avenida De La Playa for the last 20 years or more. Bassyouni responded that “this system handles the largest watershed in all of La Jolla” and is not close to what is needed for the area. Community activist Bernie Segal told the city staffers, “The cure you’re proposing may be worse than the problem. Why don’t you open this up to comments from other engineers, a lot of whom live in La Jolla who might be willing to work gratuitously?” ‘That’s why we’re here so early, one and a half years ahead of time, to get your feedback,” answered Bassyouni, who added the project is still in the design phase with environmental permitting yet to be completed. “We will be back before you,” he said.

Beach Report: LJ spots in good shape Staff and wire reportS The five La Jolla beaches included in the annual Heal the Bay report received A or A+ grades, topping the list that shows most beaches along the California coast received generally high marks for water quality, but several locations in San Diego County received failing grades. The environmental group gave A+ ratings to La Jolla Shores at the projection of Avenida de la Playa, La Jolla Cove, and WindanSea at Playa del Norte and A’s to Ravina — south of Nicholson Point — and South Casa Beach just south of the Children’s Pool the top ratings during dry weather. However, the Shores spot — where sewer water routinely overflows during storms — scored an F during wet periods and an A for its year-round score. The group’s Beach Report Card assigns letter grades to beaches based on levels of weekly bacteria pollution. The environmental group reported F grades were given to two locations at Mission Bay — Bonita Cove and the visitor’s center — along with Shoreline Beach Park at Shelter Island and the outlet of the San Luis Rey River in Oceanside. The largest concentration of polluted beaches in the county were near the border, including Border Field State Park, the Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Reserve and the south end of Imperial Beach, according to the group’s 2010-11 Beach Report Card. No San Diego-area beaches were on Heal the Bay’s list of Top 10 “Beach Bummers,”
la Jolla’s beaches were rated a or a+ in the Heal the Bay report. KATHY DAY but quite a few in the North County made the honor roll, meaning they never exceeded state bacterial standards for ocean water quality during dry weather. They included: n Oceanside, at Tyson and Forster streets and near the end of St. Malo Road; n Carlsbad, at the end of Cerezo Drive and Palomar Airport Road; n Encinitas, the pipes surf break at San Elijo State Park and north of the park’s stairs, Cardiff State Beach south of the Charthouse and Seaside State Park; n Solana Beach, Fletcher Cove off Lomas Santa Fe Drive; and n Del Mar at the end of 15th Street. Of 76 monitoring locations, 93 percent received grades of either A or B in the report during dry weather. The figure dropped to 72 percent after a rainstorm. Residents can check grades for their favorite beaches at http://beachreportcard.org.

Western gulls a common site along our coastline Natural La Jolla
By Kelly Stewart
A walk along our shore would not be complete without seeing one of our regular residents — the Western gull. This large gull is easy to identify with its pure white head and underparts, pink legs and feet, a slatey gray back and a red spot on the lower half of its yellow beak (in adult plumage). As opportunistic foragers, gulls may steal fish from other birds or have a look through a discarded paper bag for tasty scraps. They also collect hard-shelled prey like sea urchins, flying them up high over a rock or other hard surface and then dropping them to smash the shell and expose the soft parts. Western gulls even steal milk from seal mothers while the seals lie sleeping on the beach. The Western gull is the only gull to nest in coastal Southern California. Around the Cove where the cormorants sit drying their wings, you may see these birds sitting on their solitary nests on rocky outcroppings. Nests are shallow depressions on the ground lined with seaweed and other dried material. Mating in late April and early May, both parents tend to the nest, incubate the

eggs (usually three) and take care of the chicks once they’ve hatched. I’ve watched a pair of gulls each spring for the past three years nesting on the chimney across the street from my porch. I’m not sure it’s the same pair, but I’m excited to see how many chicks there will be (there were two last year and only one the year before). Any day now I’m expecting to see fluffy gray heads sticking out of the nest, begging for food. Each day the chicks grow larger and venture a little further from the
nest. They parade clumsily around on the rooftop, making a racket when they see their parents approach with a meal. The parents will feed their chicks throughout the summer months until the chicks can fly and catch their own food. Although Western gulls appear to be common, their numbers are thought to be declining as harsh El Niño seasons take a toll on chick production.

Moores Center’s Carson stepping from leader’s role back to lab BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com Dr. Dennis Carson is giving up his post as director of the renowned UCSD Moores Cancer Center, and doing anything but retiring. “It’s time for me for step down and return to the laboratory,” said Carson, who will turn 65 this year. “I have two anti-cancer drugs in development and I’ll now have a lot more time to be in the lab.” Involved in every step of
the disease-treatment process, including actually making, bottling and labeling the first treatments, Carson is perhaps best known for discovering and pushing through to clinical use a novel anti-cancer agent now marketed as Leustatin. It is the therapy of choice for cancer patients with hairy cell leukemia, producing a decade or more of diseasefree remission in eight of 10 new patients, often after just a single infusion.

During his career, Carson has published more than 485 peer-reviewed papers and trained scores of new physician-scientists. He owns 69 patents based upon his research and has founded six biotechnology companies to pursue these discoveries. As director of the UCSD Moores Cancer Center — one of only 40 Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the nation designated by the National Cancer Institute — Carson has created or supported new and innovative programs that mesh the talents and resources of academia and industry to push promising cancer treatments into clinical trials faster and more effectively. At UCSD since 1990, Carson was brought in to help
recruit new faculty. He acknowledged he’s presided over the cancer center during a formative time in its history. “When I started in 2001 the center really Dr. Dennis wasn’t comCarson prehensive,” he said, noting that all changed with the help of John Moores, other donors and especially, the university. “Together we put up a truly unified building in 2003 to house the center and its clinicians, researchers and educators,” he said. “I think it set a (new) standard for the university.” A total of 675 people are

5 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT TITLE INSURANCE Title insurance protects the holder from losses sustained from defects in the title. It is required by most lenders. Here are five things you should know about title insurance. 1) It protects your ownership right to your home, both from fraudulent claims against your ownership and from mistakes made in earlier sales, such as a mistake in the spelling of a person’s name or an inaccurate description of the property. 2) It is a one time cost usually based on the price of the property. 3) It is usually paid for by the seller, although it can be a negotiated seller/buyer expense or also sometimes whether it is a seller/buyer expense varies in different states. 4) There are both lender title policies, which protect the lender and owner title policies, which protect you. If there is a loan, the lender will probably require a lender policy and that is often a buyer expense, not a seller expense. 5) Discounts on premiums are sometimes available if the home has been bought within the last few years since not as much work is required to check the title. Ask the title company if this discount is available.
now employed at Moores Cancer Center. “The number of patients has doubled and we’re in the top 20 in the country in National Cancer Institute grants,” added Carson. Dr. Thomas J. Kipps, a hematologist who’s worked together with Carson for 25 years, will become the acting center director while the university does an exhaustive search to find Carson’s permanent replacement. Cancer is not a single malady but a class of diseases in which cells display uncontrolled growth invading, intruding upon and destroying adjacent tissues and sometimes spreading to other parts of the body. Carson said steady progress is being made in fighting the disease
though it’s a time-consuming process. “Cancer is actually more like 100 different diseases,” he said, adding the biggest risk factor is age, though children can get certain types. “Research is very hard,” noted Carson. “Some of the treatments are difficult.” Though cancer may never be completely “cured,” Carson foresees the disease becoming more manageable with treatment over time. “We will continue to make steady progress, though I don’t think there will be one magic bullet,” he said. “The trend in mortality is down, which I see increasing until the time when cancer will be much less a problem than it is now.”
Scripps Health moves forward with radiation therapy center CitY NEWS SErViCE Scripps Health broke ground Tuesday on a $43.9 million radiation therapy center in La Jolla that will feature some of the most advanced cancer treatment technology in the United States. The 41,000-square-foot center on Torrey Pines Mesa across from Scripps Clinic will annually serve up to 1,200 Scripps patients from around the region, and also provide access to clinical trials. The facility will be equipped with three stateof-the-art linear accelerators, including one that will be the first of its kind in San Diego. The new equipment can cut typical 30-minute treatments down to about five minutes, and provide 3-D images using an X-ray dose 25 percent lower than other systems, according
to Scripps Health. “The Scripps Radiation Therapy Center will help improve the quality of patient care by providing the very latest technology and a full offering of treatment options,’’ said Chris Van Gorder, president and chief executive officer of Scripps Health. “Our technology will help provide greater patient comfort by significantly shortening treatment times, and will improve precision by leaving less time for tumor and patient movement during treatment,’’ Van Gorder said. Grading has already begun at the eight-acre site on John Jay Hopkins Drive, with construction on the building set to begin next month. The center is scheduled to open for patient care by the third quarter of 2012.

La Jolla High bench controversy gets a day in court By Dave SchwaB Staff Writer The San Diego Unified School District and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) are headed for a showdown in court over whether senior benches on the La Jolla High School campus should be declared an open forum for free speech or can be restricted to school-related-only messages. The issue came to a head last week after LJHS principal Dana Shelburne discussed what to do about the three controversial “paintable” senior benches with the Associated Student Body (ASB) officers and adviser, and then decided to have them temporarily
From FireworkS, a1 Marengo has estimated $28,000 in donations is needed for the show to go on this year. The annual La Jolla Cove event is the subject of an ongoing lawsuit filed by environmentalists, who claim the discharge from the show affects water quality in the protected marine reserve adjacent to the Cove. The San Diego City Council recently gave final approval to municipal code changes that exempt private sponsors of fireworks shows on cityowned property from having to apply for special permits. The changes affect privately run shows where food and alcohol are not served. In doing so, council members denied an appeal of its tentative decision last month by environmental attorney Marco Gonzalez, who’s sued the city and organizers of La Jolla’s July 4th event on behalf of the Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation. Gonzalez’ s suit claims debris from fireworks pollutes the water and endangers marine life. According to Gonzalez, Quinn’s ruling means an environmental impact report will need to be compiled before the show can go on about six weeks from now. However, Gonzalez said he expects the city to appeal the decision or seek an exemption for the La Jolla Cove event. Meanwhile, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders has gone on the offensive rallying support for Fourth of July fireworks displays, issuing press releases and taking to the airwaves to plead his case. “Marco Gonzalez’s bizarre crusade to stop fireworks on the 4th of July is truly shameless, especially considering he’s also seeking hundreds of thou-
removed and stored. But district Superintendent Bill Kowba intervened on Saturday, decreeing the benches would remain until a lawsuit brought against the district by the ACLU is resolved. “We’ve simply said those benches are for school spirit — it has nothing to do with the message, simply where you place it,” said Shelburne. “Students have been invited to put the exact same message on a giant bulletin board, much larger than the benches, but did not avail themselves of that opportunity.” Jess Jollett, communications manager for the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial counties, said in an e-mail, “The senior benches
sands of taxpayer dollars to cover his legal fees,” said Alex Roth, spokesman for the mayor in a prepared statement. “What’s next, a lawsuit against swimmers for polluting the ocean with their suntan lotion?” Terry Underwood, general manager of Grand Colonial La Jolla Hotel, said no fireworks at the Cove this year “would not be a devastating blow,” while adding, “But it certainly is part of the typical holiday weekend festivities, something customers ask about.” Megan Heine, who, along with husband David owns Brockton Villa restaurant overlooking the Cove said “it would be a shame” for locals and visitors alike if there were not a display adding, “people will find fireworks somewhere else.” Heine said Fourth of July is good all day long for their business adding both breakfast and dinner would be adversely impact. “But over the long weekend, I think people will still flock to the Cove and La Jolla,” she said. “I will do everything in my power to make sure that La Jolla celebrates the Fourth of July as it always does — with fireworks,” said First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner in a prepared statement. “This ruling is both ridiculous and unnecessary. “This is not just about La Jolla,” Lightner added. “This could affect firework shows throughout San Diego from Ocean Beach to Pacific Beach to Lake Murray.” Concerning Fourth of July fundraising, Marengo noted, “If everyone in La Jolla gave $10, it would really push us over.” For more information, or to donate, visit www.lajollafireworks.org.
have been a cherished tradition of the LJHS community for decades and a forum for a wide variety of student speech. The principal’s threatened removal of the benches comes despite a hearing on (June 2) to request a temporary restraining order against further censorship of the benches.” The ACLU contends Shelburne appeared to act “in retaliation for the student speech and lawsuit and demonstrate hostility to the state’s free speech protections … Those state law provisions protect student speech that is not ‘obscene, libelous or slanderous.’ ” David Blair-Loy, legal director at the San Diego ACLU, said before the removal was
delayed the move “is unconscionable” and added, “The proper way to resolve these issues is in court, not with a bulldozer. California has landmark law protecting student speech that has worked well for decades.” The La Jolla High bench controversy goes back to a Feb. 15 incident in which La Jolla High School allegedly illegally painted out political messages created by Iranian-American students on campus senior benches supporting freedom for Iran. The messages, painted by members of the school’s Persian Club, were promptly painted over by school

Bird Rock students show their talents At the recent REMS (Rendezvous, Engineering, Mathematics and Science) Competition, fifth graders from Bird Rock Elementary School showed off their knowledge. The competition is the result of the brainstorming and coordination of Rendezvous Science Center CEO Ben Foroozan and La Jolla High School Science Team Head Coach and Physics teacher Martin Teachworth. This was the second year that Bird Rock Elementary participated in the competition under the guidance of BRE science teacher Ryan Weiss. The purpose is to encourage interest, provide an outlet for interested students in a competitive but low-stress environment and help review for the Science and Mathematics portions of the California Content Standards tests. Competitors may range from third to fifth grade, but the program may be expanded. Organizers are seeking support for the program in the form of money or prize donations.

Parents raise concerns about state of education Hundreds of parents and students in La Jolla and other San Diego neighborhoods handed out coffee and fliers on May 24 that describe the dire state of education funding. The morning effort was largely designed to let parents know about a 4:30 p.m. rally planned for Tuesday at Park Boulevard and Presidents Way in Balboa Park. The gathereings were part of a statewide effort called “Wake Up California.” Since 2008-2009, education spending, which represents 40 percent of the state budget, has incurred 60 percent of the budget cuts. In 2008-2009, California ranked 44th in per pupil spending (adjusted for cost of living), according to a press release from Educate Our State, a parent-led, nonpartisan group that seeks an overhaul of the current funding system. “California public schools are among the lowest funded in the country – it’s time to make education a priority again, not only for our children but for the future of our state,” said Fran Shimp, a parent of two La Jolla Elementary School students and a volunteer organizer of the event.
Seven La Jolla families made their opinions clear on the current school budget situation. Stephen SimpSon
The San Diego effort involved about 13 schools including Bird Rock, La Jolla and Torrey Pines Elementary schools along with Birney, Central, Florence, Hardy, Jerabek, Kate Sessions and McKinley elementary schools, as well as the Language Academy and
Roosevelt Middle School and Hoover High. At the same time as the San Diego rally, “Wake Up California” activities were held in Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Redwood City, Silicon Valley and many other cities, like San Jose. The afternoon ral-
ly included speeches by parents and students, performances by a middle school choir, student dancers, a junior high cheerleading team, as well as a “surprise” flash mob dance by Eveoke Dance Theatre. For details, visit the website www.educateourstate.org.

From Graduates, a1 What I liked best about my highschool years: Senior year was amazing, but not because it was easy. My courses were challenging, yet I enjoyed all of them. My class also gained so much unity in our last year, and I relished each moment we spent together. What I liked least about my highschool years: The middle of my junior year was extremely tough. I was studying, taking standardized tests and playing club volleyball, all while trying to decide on a college. n Jason Kang, 19, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Interests: Jesus, chemistry, mathematics and Spanish Accomplishments: AMC School Winner, Cum Laude Society Member, NOLA Jazz Festival Outstanding Soloist. What I liked best about my high-school years: I liked how the Country Day community supports one another. I feel like we truly became one family by the end of the year as we have supported everyone. I also appreciated the fact Jason that I could spend four Kang years of my life with great friends and teachers. What I liked least about my highschool years: I didn’t like how the college application process overwhelmed me during the first semester of my senior year. n Alex Cromidas, 18, Pitzer College Interests: Acting, jazz band, academic league, public speaking, history, student government, various forms of musical improvisation with my friends. Accomplishments: Coastwise Essay Contest second place winner, Upper School secretary-treasurer, band department award recipient, English department award recipient, Harry Drogin drama award recipient, UCSDTV intern, founding member of the LJCDS jazz band, alex school literary magazine Cromidas editor, 4-year academic league team participant, LJCDS men’s football and basketball announcer.
What I liked best about my highschool years: I’m a La Jolla Country Day lifer, so I’ve spent a whole lot of time working and playing on the campus. It’s nice to see all the effort I’ve put into my Country Day career have an impact on the school’s community. Whether it’s through the jazz band, acting, or any of the other various activities I take part in at LJCDS, I’m always glad to see that I’ve made a difference. What I liked least about my highschool years: I had to battle sickness and disease for most of my high school career. While I try not to complain about it that much, it is still an annoying and challenging part of life I have to get through. n Romana Bruderer-Schwab, 17, Connecticut College, following a gap year in Peru. Interests: Spanish, German, theater, cinematography, international community service, travel, the nightly dinners with my family, making music videos with my friends, laughing and having a good time. Accomplishments: Cum Laude Society Member, Spanish Honors Society Member, Intern at AIDS Clinic in Switzerland, English and Spanish department award recipient, Colgate University Book Award Recipient, ‘Amazon. romana com’ Movie-Trailer Third BrudererPlace Winner and National schwab Spanish Exam Gold recipient What I liked best about my high school years: I loved being able to be a part of La Jolla Country Day’s yearly theater productions. The multitudes of laughs that I shared with my fellow intrinsically motivated actors and actresses, while we all goofed off back-stage was a beautiful thing. What I liked least about my high school years: Even though my school community was helpful and understanding, I still felt stifled by the competitive nature of the college process my junior year of high school. I felt like I had to take more APs (Advanced Placement classes) than were necessary and like I didn’t have the fun that I should be having with my friends and family.

La Jolla Lutheran marks 66th year By PASTor MArK DAHLE La Jolla Lutheran Church celebrated its 66th birthday last week. The church was founded in 1945 by a group of Scandinavian-Americans uprooted from the Midwest by war-related circumstances. While the first services were conducted at Walter Kellough’s funeral chapel (then located at the corner of Herschel and Kline) it soon became apparent that a larger location was necessary to accommodate a growing congregation. The Rev. Leonard K. Johnson, originally from Wisconsin, became the church’s first permanent pastor, and he spearheaded the effort to build a “church” in which to house worship. Parishioners purchased the lot that La Jolla Lutheran now occupies in 1946 for $5,000 (today that equals about $55,000), and they set a goal of $45,000 for its construction. La Jolla Lutheran’s first class of confirmation students matriculated in 1947, and a year after, the congregation dedicated its first building unit. La Jolla Lutheran Church is known as “the church built by bees” because a couple, also from Wisconsin, provided funds for the second building unit from monies they raised through beekeeping. Their donation solidified La Jolla Lutheran’s physical presence in the community. Through the years, La Jolla Lutheran has extended an invitation to any and all who worship Jesus, and the church has acted as an olive branch to the greater-La Jolla community. La Jolla Lutheran hosts several weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and welcomes all in need

of spiritual guidance. Larger activities, such as the annual rummage sale, Mass for Mexico, and subsequent outreach to border communities, encourage the congregation to make a difference in the lives of those around them. This year, the church hosted a stop on the Susan G. Komen for the Cure 20k Run/Walk and opened its fellowship hall to AP test-takers from The Bishop’s School. While the congregation is small, it provides a family atmosphere that fosters many personal relationships between people of all ages.

Slattery also said that there are no historic restrictions on it nor are there any parking requirements. Portions of a cottage built in 1893 were incorporated in the property when it became a restaurant in 1953; it was renamed Top of the Cove in 1955. The property changed hands several times, and for a time was owned by Ron Zappardino, who brought the restaurant back into the spotlight before selling it in 2006. In its heyday it was known as a spot for a romantic — yet pricey — spot. Today it sits behind a locked gate with a massive Moreton Bay fig tree overhanging the street. Passersby often stop and stare, wondering what became of the popular nightspot. Slattery said the owner is hopeful with the wherewithal to bring it back will come forward with an offer.

Permanent mosaic goes up on UCSD campus UCSD The Chicano Legacy 40 Años mural, which covered the east wall of Peterson Hall on campus for two years, has been installed as a permanent mosaic. The 17-by-54- foot mural, made up of thousands of pieces of colored glass, was unveiled on May 25. The art project was envisioned by students of UCSD’s Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA) several years ago as a way to express Latino/a culture, and then brought to fruition by world-renowned San Diego-based artist Mario Torero. Torero created the conceptual mosaic; after a long search, he found an art group in China — the Panyu Muralists Art Collective — who created the tiles for the mosaic. The mural is a collage of vivid colorful images and features iconic figures such as César Chávez and Dolores Huerta, founders of the United Farm Workers Union, San Diego landmarks Chicano Park and the Coronado Bridge. It is named in recognition of the 40th Anniversary of Chicano Park and of the Centro Cultural De La Raza in Balboa Park. It features icons of Chicano/a and Latino/a San Diego, the Coronado Bridge, the kiosk at Chicano Park and the border wall. Torero said the iconic figures continue to resonate today not only for Chicanos but for all working families. “These figures help convey to stu-
Artist mario Torero and UCSD Professor Jorge mariscal UCSD PHOTOS dents that they have a choice to be a service to humanity. We are “artivists”— a connection between arts and activism. It’s a bridge, not confrontation, but the ‘mortar’ for change.” Designed as an educational artwork for current students as well as future generations, the mural represents the Chicano/a movement and the historic struggle of individuals who fought for human rights. For the first time in its history, UCSD has a permanent outdoor art installation that reflects the history
of a minority community,” said literature Professor Jorge Mariscal, a driving force behind the Chicano Legacy 40 Años project from start to finish. “The changing demographics of the 21st century soon will make Chicanos/Latinos a majority and the number of Chicano/a and Latino/a students at UC San Diego is rising. It is only fitting that the university celebrate these realities with a representational piece of art for the entire campus community, and, indeed, for all Californians.”

Sculpture of J.J. the Baby Gray Whale reaches Kellogg Park
Computers aid in design of anti-flu virus proteins
Research Report By LynnE FriEdmann
J
.J. the Orphaned Baby Gray Whale is in place at Kellogg Park playground in La Jolla Shores, but is currently fenced off from use because a shade structure will be put up to protect the bronze sculpture from the heat, said Kathleen Hasenauer, deputy director for the San Diego Park & Recreation Department. “The plan is to have a structure installed over the sculpture because it tends to get hot in the sun and we don’t want anybody touching a hot surface,” she said. Shoreline Park Director Dan Daneri said Friends of La Jolla Shores is in charge of providing a new shade structure for the sculpture. It is likely to take about three weeks to get it done.

Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute have used computational methods to design new antiviral proteins not found in nature, but capable of targeting specific surfaces of flu virus molecules. Protein surfaces have many crevices and bulges at the atomic scale. The challenge is to identify amino acid side chains that “fit” — both in shape and in chemical properties, such as electrostatic charge — into these surfaces. The scientists focused on a section of flu virus that helps the virus invade cells of the human respiratory tract. Protein structures were
taken apart and observations made of how these disembodied sections interacted with a target surface. This information was then used to refine the computergenerated designs. Additional studies are now required to see if such designed proteins can help in diagnosing, preventing, or treating viral illness. Findings appear in the journal Science. News release at http://bit.ly/irWewV. n Mimicking human tissue A new biomaterial designed for repairing damaged human tissue may prove more compatible with native human tissue than the patches available today. Using a new biofabrication technique, researchers at the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering created three-dimensional scaffolds with well-defined patterns of any shape for tissue engineering by using precisely controlled mirrors and a computer-projection system to shine light on a solution
of new cells and polymers. Because the new biomaterial does not wrinkle up when it is stretched, the hope is future biopatches used to repair damaged heart walls, blood vessels and skin will be more compatible with patient tissue. Findings appear in the journal Advanced Functional Materials. News release at http://bit.ly/lRlYHv. n Radar network is world’s largest A network of high-frequency radar systems designed for mapping ocean surface currents has made possible real-time data collection and analysis of coastal ocean dynamics along the U.S. West Coast to aid in search-and-rescue, oil spill response and maritime transportation operations. The network has grown over the last decade from a few radar installations to what is now considered the largest network of its kind in the world consisting of 78 operational sites that cover approximately 150 kilome-
ters (90 miles) offshore and 2,500 kilometers (1,500 miles) of shoreline. Data generated by this network is managed by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD. Scientists have known for years that ocean currents at the water’s surface are governed by a complex combination of factors including coastal tides, winds, Earth’s rotation, and large-scale phenomena (such as the California Current), but the contributions of these forces are location specific and up until now have been difficult to predict. By having an extensive radar network in place, detailed coastal surface circulation and ocean dynamics can be resolved as never before — kilometers in space and hourly in time — as well as provide long-term, high-quality records of ocean climate signals.

Bishop’s breaks ground for new library As she was making remarks at the May 26 groundbreaking for the Manchester Library and Learning Center, Head of Aimeclaire Roche surprised the crowd with an announcement about a special gift. “It is my pleasure to announce today that inspired by this groundbreaking, an anonymous donor has made two new endowment gifts, totaling a half million dollars. Each gift supports a new endowed faculty chair: the Benchmark Fund Faculty Chair in Library Science, and the Benchmark Fund Faculty Chair in Learning Support.” This gift brings the number of endowed faculty chairs at The Bishop’s School to 17, plus two endowed department chairs. The new building, which was the focus of the occasion, will have three floors and areas for collaboration as well as quiet study; classrooms; offices, conference,

The popular mom-and-pop, neighborhood Chinese restaurant at 623 Pearl St. has been owned by Bob Gu, the third owner of a Chinese restaurant at the site, since 1995. There are seven regional food “styles� in China roughly corresponding to geographic regions, noted Gu. He explained China Chef’s cuisine is a blend of Szechuan (spicier and hotter) and Mandarin (tastier with more soy sauce ) as distinguished from standard Chinese fare in America, which is primarily Cantonese. “We like healthy cuisine, some gluten free for that growing population, with no MSG (preservative) and low sugar and low salt,� Gu said. “Everything is cooked fresh on the wok. Quality is very important for this restaurant.� China Chef delivers and caters in the La Jolla, UTC and Pacific Beach areas.

The mystartupXX program will target women undergraduate and graduate students at UCSD who are traditionally underrepresented in the invention, innovation and entrepreneurship processes. “Although women represent nearly half of all entrepreneurs in the United States, women founders are severely underrepresented in technology startups,” said Robert S. Sullivan, Dean of the Rady School of Management. The mystartupXX program will connect women students with mentors, investors and other experienced entrepreneurs. Although
there are several programs nationwide that are designed to support women-owned businesses, very few serve the unique needs of technology

We should salute our veterans every day Our View On Monday, a standing-room only crowd turned out at Mount Soledad to pay tribute to our veterans. Cross or no cross, the site is a spectacular place to remember what our country is about. The black granite plaques that honor those who have served from the Revolutionary War to the Middle East act as a solemn reminder that those who serve put their lives on the line every day to protect our freedoms. We need only look at the faces of Dane Sparks, holding a doll resembling his father Sgt. Jesse Sparks who is deployed overseas, or active duty personnel like Marine Corps Sgt. Major Neil O’Connell put an accent on the notion that regardless of our religious affiliation or political stance on war, those who serve deserve our thanks. One way is to show up at events on holidays like Memorial Day; another and perhaps more meaningful way is to get involved in some way

by volunteering to drive or by donating to programs like the Wounded Warrior Project or Operation Homefront. Here in San Diego, we are home to a major VA healthcare facility, which can always use volunteers and donations, and the Veterans Medical Research Foundation, which is looking for medical solutions for injuries and illnesses incurred by our vets. We also have the Veterans Village of San Diego, which coordinates a range of intervention and treatment programs like the annual Stand Down at Balboa Park and also provides housing and a rehabilitation center. Each of these programs and the many others supporting our vets offer ways to get involved — or just reach out to a neighbor who has served or has family serving and let them know you’re available if they need something. At the very least, when you see a service member say thanks.
La Jollans have filled my inbox with ideas, and offered earfuls of valuable insight and observations since I was elected president of the La Jolla Community Planning Association in April. Opposing sides of an issue often have overlapping wishes, and it is important not to overlook the unifying ideas in the heated atmosphere of public debate. Good input and good process allows everyone to speak and air their views. It also gives us the opportunity to listen and, more importantly, allows us to take the information we hear home to process and ultimately respond creatively, individually and finally by majority rule as a group. Evaluating information gained from others and using it to reach sound solutions is the best we can do to help make our community a bet-
ter place to live, and to reach the community goals we strive for in La Jolla. I invite you to join us in this process with your community groups and subcommittees. We have a lot to look forward to. The Torrey Pines Road corridor improvements will be back up for review and, we all hope, will soon be in phased construction. Road projects, sewer and water infrastructure will finally be completed, of course with more to come. I am certain we will hear more voices from the Children’s Pool, too. It has been a busy year, and the trustees and committee members have all heard your voices. Be a good listener and you will be heard when you speak. Let us seek a good way to balance ideas and move towards decisions together. I appreciate the opportunity to serve and hope to lead projects towards timely decisions. I am looking forward to seeing you at our public meetings this year!
Clarifying a parking point COMMUNITY Leader’s View David Little Trustee, La Jolla Community Planning Association In your article of May 26, (Eatery challenged on parking) you quoted me as indicating that to construct a restaurant in La Jolla, the applicant need not satisfy the parking re-

Student view By Casey Urey La Jolla resident and High Tech High student Editor’s note: Casey, a La Jolla resident, is a junior at High Tech High. To read the full version of the essay, go to www.lajollalight.com/category/news/ opinion/. In 2007, Andrew Keen claimed that the Internet was effectively killing our culture. He claims that more and more entertainment and information is being created by average people, which harms our culture because this user-generated media undermines the traditional forms of media that have been the pillars of our culture for years. Now, with the Internet even bigger than it was back then, one has to wonder: Is it destroying our culture? No, and I feel that Mr. Keen’s fears are completely misguided. The Internet isn’t destroying American culture; by definition, it is it’s own culture. The difference between American, British, German or Italian culture and the Internet is that while a nation’s culture is limited to its borders, the Internet as a culture is limited only by one’s imagination. It transcends borders and has brought people from different countries closer. Alex A., Jaron C., and Torin S. are three very different San Diego high school students. They have different hobbies, different backgrounds, and different ethnicities,
but one thing that they do have in common is that they are part of the Internet culture. Alex spends six hours a day on the Internet chatting, watching Anime or playing games. When asked if the Internet culture unites people he told me, “I have made Canadian friends because of the Internet.” Jaron and Torin have similar stories about connecting with different people around the world that have united under the flag on the Internet. In fact, on the subject of the Internet destroying American culture, Torin believes that the Internet helps American culture because it allows authors and artists that have been rejected by producers and publishers to pursue their own initiative by self-producing their work online. … Yes, the Internet has an ever-expanding cultural influence that has united people from different countries, brought new independent artists to the forefront of the artistic world, and has redistributed the power of publishing from a few members of a corporation to anyone who has access to a computer. The Internet is completely independent from any country and has a diverse group of users that have brought liberation to the artistic world and created a whole new world, run by the people. It is hard to imagine our world without this new culture. Despite what Mr. Keen says the Internet is here to stay and I for one am happy that it is.

Watch out for car repair scam On May 11, I was contacted by a man who said his name was Tony near my bank parking lot on Girard Avenue. He claimed he could repair a fender scratch on my car while I was working. I agreed and also asked him to fix a dent in the driver door and trunk lid. To make this short, he did extensive damage to my car that will cost me $2,000 to repair. He gave a business card for Brothers Auto Repair. I called Brothers and they had never heard of him. He is driving a dark blue or black older Mercedes convertible and the cell number he provides goes into voicemail. The police can do nothing. Ronda Landrum La Jolla business owner
Seal lovers should refocus their zeal Have thoroughly enjoyed reading all the letters/commentary re: the Children’s Pool since this faux “problem” erupted years ago. Politicians ignore the Scripps’ Trust directives just like this White House shreds our Constitution with no remorse. Chris Carter’s letter is right on the mark.
Golly, I wish all those self-righteous seal lovers would show the same amount of zeal for all the babies being aborted in our nation. Then maybe we could bring this sad chapter of infanticide in our nation’s history to a resounding end. LOU CUMMING Longtime La Jolla resident
Children’s Pool tale has another side Whoever wrote the story on the dedication of Children’s Pool 80 years ago in the May 26 edition failed to present the facts accurately. The seawall, not the pool, was presented to the City of San Diego on May 31 by Jacob Chandler Harper, attorney for and close confidante of Ellen Browning Scripps. Most people today would not agree that the seawall was EBS’s most important gift. Torrey Pines Park and Scripps Institution of Oceanography are just two of the more significant gifts she made. Ms. Scripps loved the natural world and especially the sea, and if she lived today, she would no doubt want Casa Beach (enclosed by the seawall) to be a rookery for harbor seals.

From Bench, A7 administrators who deemed them to be inappropriate in an unapproved location. A couple of days later La Jolla High students painted a similar but slightly different message on the benches: “Freedom for Iran and LJHS,” which, too, was whited-out. “The issue is whether or not to have a clearly identified, free-speech forum,
which we have,” said Shelburne. “And at the same time, have a set of benches which are restricted to something that would be positive, school-related messages. Can the two coexist? Or does allowing the students, without any preview by me, does that make those benches an additional open forum? I think that’s what’s to be determined.”
From Little, A18 trying to make is that businesses, opening in older land locked buildings, and having no room to establish new parking, are being required to meet the same parking requirements as new construction. The businesses being started in these buildings must obtain rental or shared agreements for off-street parking according to the current interpretation of the LJ PDO. I believe this interpretation is in
error for three reasons. 1) This policy does not create any additional parking and so solves no problem. 2) Starting a business in La Jolla is hard enough without this additional penalty. 3) I do not believe this requirement for securing off-street parking for new businesses in older buildings is in the PDO. If it is beneficial to a business to lease private parking, they will do it. Let the market place determine where people park.

Stand-up paddling starts to catch on in La Jolla By Rick LeBeau Special to the Light If you’ve been out surfing and haven’t shared a spot in the line-up with someone already standing on their board even before the wave arrives, chances are you soon will. Thanks to high profile stand-up paddlers such as local La Jolla resident Gillian Gibree, SUP is catching on quickly, not only as a platform for riding waves, but for a myriad of other fitness activities. If you were to see her in the grocery store, you might mistake Gibree for any other statuesque, super-fit athlete with supermodel looks in Southern California. But looks can be deceiving. Sure, Gibree has a striking iconic look of the quintessential SoCal surfer girl, but she didn’t start out that way. Gibree’s interest in water sports as well as adventure brought her to San Diego from Massachusetts, where she graduated from UMass with a degree in sports management and was a top athlete in swimming and softball. While working as a Cape Cod beach lifeguard, she maintained a training regimen of prone paddling, ocean swimming, beach running, surfing, and incorporated stand-up paddling along the way. Stand-up paddling is a fairly recent fitness phenomenon, but is becoming increasingly common among experienced watermen and women, as well as novices. The long, wide boards are ideal for standing on, with or without the momentum of a wave to provide
Stand-up paddlers use their boards as a platform for yoga. Rick LeBeau photo the platform a smaller board needs. Each day you can see more and more people using the boards for a multitude of purposes, on both flat water as well as any size wave. For people like Gibree, the stand-up paddle board really is a platform on which to engage in everything from Yoga — yes, on the water — to racing, surfing, and training. Gibree has become recognized as one of the faces of SUP fitness and yoga, attracting sponsors such as Roxy, appearing in magazines, and gracing numerous websites as the image of what you can get out of SUP, whether as an occasional activity, or as a lifestyle. Indeed, for Gibree, SUP has grown well beyond the hobby stage, and has become a fulltime occupation for her. Thanks to her diligent efforts spreading the word about the various benefits of SUP fitness, Gibree has as-
sembled a staff of trained instructors to guide the increasing number of people interested in learning about SUP and created two unique water routines called Nautical Flow and Surfer’s Sculpt. The instructors take groups onto the flat, shallow waters of Mission Bay from OEX Dive and Kayak, where the class is led through a series of yoga poses atop the boardall while holding onto the paddle. As difficult as that may sound, yoga on a stand-up paddleboard is only slightly harder than doing the same poses on dry land, and the balancing series are saved for the beach. There are numerous classes offered weekly, and one-on-one instruction is also available. Gibree’s involvement in SUP keeps her amazingly busy, from training for her competitions, planning SUP Yoga retreats in Tahiti,
traveling to venues such as Santa Cruz to compete in races, and getting in as much wave-time as possible on the board. She is a top athlete not only in the SUP racing community, but as a surfer as well. Ask Gibree or her fellow SUP yoginis Ellie Sichak or Kathryn McCann, and they’ll concur on the benefits of doing yoga on the board, out on the water, breathing in the fresh air. You can’t help but come away both refreshed and exhilarated from the exertion and concentration that SUP demands. For them, communing on the water together doing yoga has a special spiritual component to it. Getting support from your board, your friends and your instructor while out in nature is bound to brighten your day. No matter which version of SUP activity you choose, you are in for a serious core workout. Fitness fanatics looking for new ways to exercise their core muscle groups need look no further than SUP for the perfect combination of demands that link upper body, abdominal and leg work to create the ideal core fitness. No matter which type of SUP activity you choose, it won’t take long for you to get hooked. Having a beautiful, educated, articulate and down-to-earth instructor as your role model doesn’t hurt, either. n For more information on Paddle Into Fitness, see the website at www.paddleintofitness.com.

Tritons crowned national champs UC San Diego tops Alabama-Huntsville for Division II title For Patti Gerckens, the journey began 19 years ago. She was a young coach from New Jersey who inherited a program that had seen four head coaches in the previous six seasons. She had one part-time assistant. The team went 6-28 in her first season. Since then Gerckens has guided UC San Diego through a move to Division II from Division III, become the program’s all-time winningest coach and overseen the construction of a new state-of-the art softball facility on campus. In a career full of highlights, nothing can come close to what transpired on Monday. Senior third baseman Sarah Woofter went 3-for-3 with three runs scored and junior All-American Camille Gaito tossed another brilliant game in the circle as the 16th-ranked Tritons blew past No. 1 Alabama-Huntsville, 10-3, in the NCAA Division II Softball Championship game on Monday afternoon at the James Moyer Sports Complex
The UCSD softball team poses for a photo shortly after winning the Division II national championship Monday. UCSD photo in Salem. UCSD (45-14) scored 10 runs in the game’s first three innings, while Gaito held the potent UAH lineup down until the final frame to lift the Tritons to their fourth win in five days during the NCAA Finals. The victory marks the program’s first national title and the 30th overall for UC San Diego as an institution. Alabama-Huntsville, which also won its first three games in Salem to earn a trip to Monday’s championship, concludes the season with
an overall record of 48-6-1. “I haven’t really had a chance to think about much other than the excitement of winning a national championship,” Gerckens said. “This is so awesome and I’m just so proud of my girls and the team and how everybody came together.” While Gaito earned her ninth straight victory in the NCAA Tournament, the Triton offense was the story on Monday, as UCSD erupted for 10 runs against a squad that had allowed a total of just four in its previous three games.

on base a total of four times in the game, while senior second baseman Jennifer De Fazio went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a RBI and junior designated player Tess Granath was 2-for-2 with a pair of runs. “All year we’ve set goals for ourselves,” Woofter said. “Our big goal was to get here to nationals and the championship series and to win it and it’s unbelievable that all that hard work was worth it. “As seniors, we wanted to leave a legacy and we wanted to start a winning tradition and I feel we definitely instilled that into the young members on our team. The teams to come are going to be just as good, if not better.” UCSD outhit UAH 12-9 in the game, with the Chargers stranding 11 runners on base. AlabamaHuntsville entered Monday’s matchup averaging over seven runs per game. The rout was on early as the Tritons jumped all over Charger starter Whitney Toler in the bottom of the first inning and scored five runs in the frame.

Memorial Day Tournament full of excitement for LJYB
Coastal Bay girls win tourney During the Memorial Day Weekend, the Coastal Bay Girls Softball League 10 & Under All-Star Team did what they set out to do — they won the 10U Silver Division Softball Championship at the 2011 Clairemont Girls Fastpitch 8th Annual Kyrstin Gemar Memorial Tournament. Coastal Bay’s 10U All-Star Team (comprised of 9-, 10and 11-year-old girls) never lost focus or a game the entire tournament. They played many competitive teams such as Clairemont and Tierra Canyon, which in previous years have won the state championship for ASA girls softball. The games included solid pitching from starters Hallee Coleman and Hikaru Otsuka as well as reliever Kyra Ferenczy, who came in during two clutch situations with runners on base, shutting down the opposing batters. It also included a topnotch catching performance by Josie Ballard. who threw out two runners
More than 200 players and coaches donned their newly designed all-star uniforms to compete in the festive Tecolote Memorial Day Tournament. The event started last week and wrapped up with championship games on Memorial Day. La Jolla Youth Baseball entered 14 teams and had six of them playing for medals on Monday. Championship medals were handed out to the La Jolla Pony 13s who topped Presidio 13s, 7-4. The win was led by strong pitching from Brandon Nance and Kevin Boermeester. Coaches Roy Agbulos and Tim Scott were also on hand Friday evening where their team entered the skills competition and took the “Around the Horn” event with an amazing time of 12 seconds. Also receiving championship medals was the LJ Shetland Red team, led by coaches John Dobak, Greg Ricchiuti and Charles Hartford. Runner-up medals went to the LJ Mustang Red team in a dramatic extra inning walk-off that favored rival Tecolote Red, 10-9. Ford Eldredge pitched five solid innings that included several lead changes. Alexander Steigerwald pitched in relief and took the loss. Gabe Solis hit a home run that the Tecolote kids are still looking for. Blaise Gimber pitched a magnificent onehitter earlier in the day to “mercy” North

City Red and move them into the championship game. The LJ Pinto Blue team also earned runner-up medals in walk-off style in a battle against North City Blue. La Jolla’s Pony 14s was runner-up to Chula Vista South. A supportive La Jolla crowd was on hand to support all of the teams, led by the LJYB 9s who rented an RV and parked it front and center for everyone to BBQ and enjoy throughout the weekend. The “Play of the Week” actually happened twice. This was the first time that Shetland teams were included in the tournament. These 5- and 6 year-old kids from La Jolla were down six runs with two outs in their final at bat and battled back to tie the game at 16 apiece. Binks Deatherage was up with the winning run on first base and hit a shot to right field to bring in the winning run. While the team was celebrating at home plate, the umpire had signaled a time out and called the players back on the field. Binks did it again — same hit to right field to win the championship game! LJYB Playoffs started June 1 and run through Championship Weekend on June 11-12. Brackets for Pinto through Pony can be found on www.LJYB.org. —Tom Murphy, LJYB

UCSD wasn’t done, as De Fazio’s RBI single in the last of the third made it 10-0. “This is so amazing and it hasn’t even sunk in yet that we won [a national championship],” De Fazio said. “But we worked hard for four years and to see it end like this, it couldn’t end any better way.”
UCSD wraps up the season with a program record 45 wins, while Gaito became the alltime career leader in pitching victories with her four wins in Salem. The Tritons are the first squad to win an NCAA Championship for UC San Diego since the women’s soccer team claimed the title in 2001. “I’m just so proud to be a part of UCSD,” Gerckens concluded. “We’ve talked about this before. We have such great student-athletes, great coaches, great administrators. I’m just so proud to be part of this university and to be part of that group.”

10 QUESTIONS
Now retired, Dr. Fitch has time to chat with neighbors and patients When Dr. Charles T. Fitch (Internal Medicine, 7300 Girard Ave.) retired on Dec. 31, longtime patient Paul Wolsfeld received Dr. Charles Fitch the news from the doc’s assistant of 41 years, Eva, and he insisted The Light get Dr. Fitch to do a 10 Questions column. “The modest Dr. Fitch was a terrific family doctor,” Wolsfeld wrote. “And hundreds (maybe thousands) of former La Jolla patients, like me, know nothing about him! Seems to me it would be newsworthy to do the 10 Questions segment to find out how he ended up in La Jolla.” The good doctor has obliged and his thoughts follow: What brought you to La Jolla? A Nash Rambler, without air-conditioning, that carried five of us and all our belongings. Seriously, I was chief resident at Mercy Hospital in Baltimore when the opportunity arose to take a fellowship in gastroenterology and pulmonolgy at Scripps Clinic and Research Institute. That was back in the late ’50s when Scripps was located on Prospect Street in La Jolla. My wife and I found ourselves a small house to rent very close to the clinic and, once we were settled in La Jolla, we never found ourselves wanting to leave. What makes this area special to you? For me, there are so many things special about La Jolla and the surrounding area that I could fill up an entire newspaper page. My first nine years were spent in Southern California, and when I was 17 and my family was living in Richmond, Va., I enrolled in UCLA, partly to get back to the area of the country that I felt I wanted to be. Much later, after arriving to undertake the Scripps Fellowship, I found the academic environment to be wonderfully edifying, intriguing and stimulating. Of course, having come from Baltimore, my wife, Julie, and I found the weather here to be perfect, and in the early days, I really enjoyed skin diving to catch a king’s meal of abalone and lobster on the cheap. We found the ambience of La Jolla so pleasant that we

Chuck Patton, owner of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, said he will host a challenge to permanently change how you look at coffee brewing at 5 p.m. Friday, June 3 at 5627 La Jolla Blvd. The event is free and open to the public. Eight Southern California roasters and 16 Southern
California baristas will participate, and each roaster will contribute one coffee. Baristas will be randomly paired to form teams of two to collaborate and find the best extraction and brew method for their particular coffee and then present their brewed cup to the judges — including
La JoLLa’s Gems of the week Now IN the verNacular
Chef Brian Redzikowski of AIRR Supper Club. The baristas will choose from three hand-crafted brew methods: Chemex (a pour-over method developed by a chemist in 1940 interested in the best filtration and extraction methods), Clever Coffee Dripper (a full-immersion brewing method that provides a sediment-free cup and control over steeping time) and the AeroPress — the newest of the brewing methods invented by a frisbee designer that has a rapid filtering system and described as a reverse French press method.

The surf, the sand, the sunsets … and Jake’s Del Mar … such a treat! By Kelley CarlSon ife’s a beach at Jake’s Del Mar with its sunny, smiling servers. Located just steps from the sand, bordering the north end of Powerhouse Park, Jake’s is “really about the people,” said partner and general manager Perry ustick. “So many of the guests are friends of ours. We’ve developed great relationships over the years.” The staff also takes time to help the community. each month, Jake’s sends volunteers to the San Diego Food Bank to sort through food and portion it out for families. And each night, Jake’s offers a Chef’s Special, in which chef Dustin Anselm creates an offthe-menu entree, and a portion of the proceeds is donated to the food bank. So far this year, the restaurant has raised $29,000. Jake’s has a long history with the Del Mar community. A century ago, it was the site of the Stratford Inn Garage; when that building had to be torn down, the wood trusses were saved and incorporated into the current structure, and can be seen overhead by restaurant guests. Artwork depicting Jake’s past and other local scenes are displayed on the walls. Patrons of the 30-year-old restaurant can view the decor from the inside dining room, which features booths and round tables; the bar; and the deck, which has large windows that

open and allow for ocean breezes. Guests may also sit outdoors — there’s a patio with a retractable awning, heat lamps, and direct access to the beach and park. ustick describes the menu at Jake’s as eclectic — preparations range from South Pacific to Mediterranean, basic American to new American. And he emphasized that it’s not strictly a seafood restaurant, which some people mistakenly believe. Sunday brunch includes dishes such as Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Hawaiian “Loco Moco” and Vanilla Bean Custard French Toast. Later in the day, there’s PecanCrusted Sea Bass, All-natural Filet Mignon and Tournedos of Beef Tenderloin, along with appetizers, soups and salads. ustick’s favorites include the Mixed Seafood Pot (Maine lobster, scallops, shrimp, fresh fish and saffron tomato broth) and Macadamia nut-Crusted Salmon. For dessert, there’s Kimo’s Original Hula Pie and Mango Raspberry Shortcake, among others.
Kids have their own special menu. They can choose from entrees such as tempura shrimp, hamburger, grilled chicken breast, and mac and cheese — and they can color while they wait. Happy hour is celebrated Monday to Saturday at Jake’s, and bistro items are priced at 40-percent to 50-percent off. Tuesdays, starting at 4 p.m., features appetizers and bottles of wine at a discount, along with $3 local beer specials. As part of its relationship with Duke’s restaurants in Hawaii, Jake’s offers Waikiki Wednesdays at 4 p.m. when patrons can order Duke’s Fish Tacos for $6 and Duke’s Mai Tais for $4. For regular dining, ustick said it’s best to make reservations, although guests can often walk in. There is self-seating at the bar. “Take a walk on the beach, come in for happy hour, get a burger and beer for under $15,” ustick said. “Or get a nice bottle of wine and have a three-, fourcourse meal.”

Learning from the dating school of hard knocks
Let Inga tell you ... I was interested to read in a local newspaper recently about a website where people can vent about disastrous dates. Where were these people 28 years ago when I needed them? I was engaged to my first husband at 19 and totally
clueless about dating when I was divorced at 35. But I can say with some certainty that I learned more from my first date as a newly single woman than I did from the next 30. A woman friend invited me to a cocktail party at her downtown San Diego condo. Well, midway through, a good-looking guy (Mistake 1), who in retrospect was already a bit sloshed (Mistake 2) invited me to go to a “fundraiser” with him after the party. This sounded innocent enough (Mistake 3) and I accepted (Mistakes 4-7). So off we went in his car (Mistake 8) and I wondered
when we got there why there were three police cars in front of this house. When we went in (Mistake 9), I discovered that this was a fundraiser for an organization trying to legalize marijuana. My date kept disappearing into a bedroom with some other people, from which he would emerge incredibly brighteyed and cheery. I also couldn’t help but notice that he consumed incredible quantities of alcohol — some 15 drinks. Several times I suggested that I was ready to go home, but he said he wasn’t ready yet and I didn’t want to be
rude. (I have long since concluded that if we treated our spouses even a quarter as nicely as the jerks we subsequently date, divorce would be virtually unheard of in America.) It never occurred to me to just call a cab and leave (Inexplicably Idiotic Mistake 10). At 2 a.m., I finally insisted that we leave. In my opinion, he was far too drunk to drive so I insisted on driving his incredibly expensive sports car even though I was never too good on stick shifts. He was so out of it he let me. Fortunately, there’s not a lot of traffic at 2 a.m. and I finally
Gardening Club ends its season with visit from Pat Welsh Southern California gardening guru (and author) Pat Welsh surprised the La Jolla Garden Club with a visit to their end-of-the year luncheon on May 17 at the La Jolla Country Club. Welch spoke to members about change and the passing of time, about the evolution of her own garden in Del Mar, and noted that she has a new book coming out “Grief and Gardening: A Love Story.” The club installed its new officers at the luncheon and presented scholarships to two worthy horticulture students — Federico Retana (Mira Costa College) who is studying landscape and irrigation management, and Britta Kuhlow (Cuyamaca and Southwestern) an organic gardener, who is known in her neighborhood as the “city farmer,” and who gives lessons to children on plant biology and butterfly life cycle. — Linda Ryan
maneuvered this vehicle into my driveway. I invited him in for coffee (Mega-mistake 11) since he was in no shape to drive while I pondered what to do with him. While I was making coffee, I glanced into the living room and there he was, snorting what I am sure must be cocaine off my coffee table — right next to “The Runaway Bunny!” I told him I was calling a cab and he was to vacate himself from my home immediately. I suddenly realized that he was going to have no idea where he left his car, so I thoughtfully put a note in his shirt pocket saying “You

left your car at …” (Mistake 13; I should have had it towed to Tijuana.) On his way out the door, he stopped by my refrigerator and grabbed an open bottle of wine that he drank on the curb in front of my house until the cab came. He didn’t come to pick up his car for three days. When he did, I was polite (Mistake 14) and said, “I see you’ve recovered.” He looked at me blankly and said, “Who are you?” — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in The La Jolla Light.

‘Natural High’ contest winners have their work touted online Sam Cook, 17, said he “gets high” from “cooking deliciously scrumptious meals.” Playing 12 different instruments sends Emily Grether, 13, into a state of bliss. With his love of swimming, Pau Vilchez, 16, aspires to beat Michael Phelps one day. Aside from being exceptionally driven, these teens have something else in common. They’ve all made a choice to pursue their passions over using drugs, a reflection of the message in the 2011 Natural High Contest. And these teens are three of the six national winners. The contest asked youths to express via video, picture or essay, their Natural High and how using drugs and alcohol could keep them from pursuing it to the fullest. The contest was promoted in schools, on naturalhigh.org, and Facebook and YouTube for a shot at winning $250. To view the winning entries visit www.naturalhigh.org/ contest.html

Wine-tasting fundraiser ‘sparkles’ for La Jolla Symphony & Chorus
F
riends of the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus gathered at the Del Mar home of Dr. Robert Engler and Julie Ruedi to attend this year’s wine-tasting fundraiser, “All that Sparkles,” on May 7. The focus of the party was a blind tasting of seven sparkling wines — from Champagne to Prosecco — conducted by wine columnist Robert Whitley. A reception preceded the tasting, and the afternoon ended with a raffle of some 40 rare and fine wines from private collectors. Proceeds will benefit the LJS&C’s 2011-12 season, which concludes June 4-5 in a concert featuring Haydn’s Harmonie-Messe and Co-host Julie Ruedi other works. Photos by Michael latz

dren are following in their parents’ footsteps.
quickly decided to settle here. On the advice and support of good friends, we acquired our house in the Barber Tract, over 48 years now, and we never once thought about living anywhere else. Julie and I had three youngsters when we moved to La Jolla and have been blessed with a total of eight. Raising our kids at the beach, in the mountains, in the desert, and in our own neighborhood has been a dream-like journey, which also served to provide the cement that keeps us here. Now, our grandkids seem to take every opportunity to visit and that gives us great joy.
If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? The first invitee who comes to mind is Dr. Martin Kamen, the discoverer of carbon-14. Marty was the first of several patients I had over the years who were members of the UCSD faculty. In time, he and his wife became dear friends of ours. The second person is Dr. Harold Urey. Harold won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. He was a very special person and also a patient of mine. I’ll never forget the day he died in my arms. He was 88 and had a life of grand achievements. Next comes Dr. Art Edwards, now retired from medical practice. He and his wife, Mickey, have been friends of ours for years. Art and I were medical school classmates, and since our names were in alphabetical order, we were assigned as lab partners in our gross anatomy class. Another invitee is Dr. Fred Soldau, who continues to practice dentistry in La Jolla. He and his wife, Katrin, are good friends of ours and Fred was a longtime tennis buddy during the years when we played nearly every day. The next four died long before my time, but they are important to me, so I’d like to invite them. The first two are physicians. I would like to invite the “Father of Electrocardiography,” Dr. Henry “Barney” Marriott. The other physician I would invite might just be the most influential in history, Sir William Osler. My last two guests would be Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. Both contributed immensely to who we are today as a nation, and both are complicated individuals. I’d like to get Jefferson’s view on his thinking about the Declaration of Independence, his holding of slaves, and the way we think
What might you improve in the area? As an octogenarian, I confess that it’s a lot easier looking back on the wonderful years I had as a young man than it is to look forward. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to revisit those years when La Jolla was like a sleepy village that I remember to be so very charming in the late ‘50s and ‘60s? Having said that, I also confess that I’m a lot like those old-timers I know who would love to see La Jolla become its own city. I can see many advantages for our citizens, in part because our community is unique in the area and we are likely to be able to solve our own problems more efficiently than is possible now. Who inspires you? My practice of medicine was greatly inspired by my mentor at University Hospital of Maryland. Dr. Henry Marriott was a model of academic excellence, generosity, and exceptional kindness to both his students and the hospital’s residents. I am also greatly inspired by all the members of my family. Julie is a master of sociability and kindness, who is liked by everyone she meets, and all of our children have mastered numerous ways to help others and their communities. Our oldest two are successful physicians, both surgeons. One of our daughters is a pediatric oncology nurse who loves her very difficult job and is loved by her patients and their families. Two of our children are educators, and two others are attorneys. And it looks to me like our 15 grandchil-
Twenty students earn Rotary Scholarships The Rotary Club of La Jolla presented 20 high school seniors with scholarships at a luncheon May 24 at La Valencia Hotel. The scholarships, $3,000-$5,000, were awarded on the basis of academic performance, community service, extracurricular activities, interview impression and financial need. The awards represent separate sources of funding — the Rotary Club itself and a financial bequest from Florence Riford. Mrs. Riford’s gift requires that students attend California schools and major in science-related fields, including math, science, engineering or medicine. The 2011 recipients are Alexandra Abbott, Valentine
Byrne, Christopher Chen, Jillian Marie Frager, Jaena Han (La Jolla High School) and Matthew Friedman, Benjamin Matthew Go, Rohaum Hamadi, Jacob Hershfield, Maxwell Hershfield and Kelsey Anneka
Miller (La Jolla Country Day School) and Tony Chau, Than Mai Thi Chu, Angela Dinh, Fatima Hagni, Tammy Huynh, Jocelynn Nobouphasavanh, Brian Tran, Linda Pham and John Vo (The Preuss School).
about racial and cultural issues today. Lincoln must have been deeply concerned about the immense loss of life during the Civil War and I wonder how that played against his decisions to continue the war effort on behalf of the integrity of our country. What are you reading? Even though I am now retired, I find myself drawn to my medical journals, especially the New England Journal of Medicine, which gives me great pleasure. I guess it’s in my blood. I haven’t read too much fiction, particularly in the last few years. I’ve started to read the trilogy by the Swedish author, Stieg Larsson, about the troubled genius girl and the reporter. Their relationship is a bit over the top for a person my age, but I must say that I’m having a good time reading it. What is your most-prized possession? Although I don’t own them as such, I regard the love and caring I receive from my wife of 58 years, and our children, as my most-prized possessions. Next, it would be the home we still live in where we raised our family. Located where it is in the Barber Tract, the house is spectacular all by itself. But the life it has seen gives it truly special value for

me. Our kids grew up here and they had so many friends in and out of the house day after day. There were exchange students and the people we helped out from time to time. And I can’t count the number of weddings and other parties we’ve held or allowed others to hold here. The house is much more than its location and style; it is rich with many wonderful memories, which make it highly prized to me. What do you do for fun? For many years, I played tennis nearly every day. Then my knees gave way, so I took up swimming to keep in shape. Physical activity has always been a source of fun for me. A recent surgery has kept me from swimming for a time, but I’m hoping to be a regular at the La Jolla High pool soon. Julie and I have a little dog, Puddin’, who is just a continuous source of fun. Julie walks her and I spoil her with table scraps. She’s just a little thing, but runs like lightening. I love it. What is your greatest accomplishment? I believe I’ve already answered this question: a wonderful marriage, terrific children, promising grandchildren. I don’t believe I could have accomplished more. What is your philosophy of life? In my practice of medicine, I always believed that every patient’s time was just as valuable as my own. I feel that the important people in my life, including my wife and children, have taught me the importance of helping others and trying your best to do no wrong. Then, too, one should never forget to take the donuts when they are passed.

Cygnet Theatre stages Wilder’s ‘Our Town’
A
merican playwright Thornton Wilder wrote some of our most beloved and thoughtprovoking plays in his lifetime. He adapted novels, wrote for operas and penned the screenplay, “Our Town,” which earned Wilder one of his three Pulitzer Prizes. “Our Town” (which premiered in 1938) was poorly received at first, due to its uniqueness. Eventfully, audiences understood its bril-
BY DIANA SAENGER liance, and it has become one of the longest-running plays in history. “Our Town” opens at the Cygnet Theatre in Old Town on Thursday, June 9 helmed by Cygnet’s artistic director Sean Murray.
Symphony & Chorus closes its season under the influence of Haydn
If you go ■ What: “Our Town” ■ When: Matinees and evenings, June 9–July 20 ■ Where: Cygnet Theatre Company, Old Town Stage, 4040 Twiggs St. ■ Tickets: $24-$49 ■ Contact: (619) 337-1525, ■ Website: cygnettheatre.com Narrated by the Stage Manager (Sylvia M’Lafi Thompson), “Our Town” unfolds through her explanations and centers on two characters, George Gibbs (Francis Gercke, “Love Song,” “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”) and Emily Webb (Jo Anne Glover, “The Norman Conquests,” “The Receptionist”) who live in Grover’s Corners, New Hamphire. They meet as teens, eventually marry, and face questions and situations – including tragedy. A constant theme is the human tendency to miss the simple joys of their lives. What’s unique about the play is its stage presentation … or lack thereof; the set is
nearly devoid of props and costumes. “Sean decided to go with color-blind and age-blind casting, rather than specific types, to capture the essence of the characters to observe the spirit of the play,” explained Gercke, also a Cygnet Resident Artist. “It’s not the exact representation Thornton Wilder originally called for, but Sean wants to capture the San Diego and America “now” experience. He wants to achieve how Thornton Wilder wrote the piece … that this is not for people to get lost in the theatrics, but to look on it as a representation of their own lives.

“Who we are, and the authenticity we lend to the production through our own identity, make it work. This should be simple and easy, but a lot of actors like to hide behind the character and the wardrobe and the fancy set and sound design, so (the bare set) poses challenges. But it also has liberties in that you (the actor) and the audience are not encumbered by what a designer has determined the ‘look’ of the play will be. That enables us to dream a lot and it’s freeing for the audience.” Gercke is a former artistic director of New Village Arts and teaches acting at USD, Palomar College, and in private classes. His son, Jonah, plays Wally in “Our Town.” Although father and son share little stage time together, Gercke is intent on letting Jonah decide if acting will be his career. “It’s lovely to watch him perform, hang out in rehearsal, talk shop, and talk about things he’s interested in at age 12,” he said.
The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus will end its 2010’11 season Saturday and Sunday with a program that explores the music of Haydn and the meaning of classicism at the Mandeville Auditorium. Choral director David Chase will conduct chorus, orchestra and four soloists in Haydn’s last work, “Ha moniemesse,” and assistant orchestra conductor Nicholas Deyoe will lead the orchestra in Brahms’ “Variations on a Theme” by Haydn, and Shostakovich’s “First Symphony.” Soloists in the “Harmoniemesse” are soprano Cindy Choi (2010 Young Artists Winner), mezzo-soprano Katherine Lundeen, tenor Richard Geiler, and bass David Marshman. Franz Joseph Haydn (1732–1809) created the musical structure that became the symphonic model. He spent many years working in relative obscurity as court composer for the Esterhazy family in a small town outside of Vienna. In the 1790s, the aging composer made two visits to London where he was amazed to discover that he was famous: his music was well known, his

The new prince had only one requirement for his court composer: He was to write one mass per year on the name-day celebration of the princess. The Missa Solemnis in B-flat Major, or “Harmoniemesse” as it came to be called, was the last of the six masses Haydn composed during this period. • Johannes Brahms’ (1833–1897) “Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Opus 56a,” was composed in the summer of 1873 and performed that same year by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under Brahms’ baton. The work includes a number of instruments that Brahms rarely employed, including piccolo, contrabassoon, and triangle, but omits trombones and tuba. The result is a clear sound that rings through the concert hall. • Dmitri Shostakovich (1906–1975) achieved fame in the Soviet Union but had a complex and difficult relationship with the Stalinist bureaucracy. His music was officially denounced twice and was periodically banned. Nevertheless, he received accolades and state awards, and his works were popular and well received. “Symphony No. 1 in F Minor, Opus 10,” was written as a requirement for graduation from the Leningrad Conservatory, and was completed by the composer at the age of 19.

What to eat (and not to eat): A guide for allergy sufferers
Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN
This time of year 1 in every 5 of us is clobbered with itchy eyes, a runny nose, nasal congestion, a scratchy gullet, and serial sneezing – gazuntite! Seasonal allergies, aka hay fever or rhinitis (roughly translated from the Latin for “rhinoceros nose”) is caused by fraternizing with assorted pollens from birch tree and grass to ragweed and alder that come out full boar in the spring. These pesky allergies can be lessened by amping up certain foods and cutting out others. Here’s a blow by blow on what to eat and what to delete to get through this blooming season.
The Big Buzz Allergy gurus recommend eating locally-sourced honey (preferably organic) to keep seasonal symptoms at bay. Multi-tasking pollen both triggers seasonal allergies and is made into honey by bees. By some weird and wonderful reason, when local honey is ingested it seems to put the skids on symptoms for many sufferers. Since this close-to-home elixir contains the same pollen spores as the flowering plants and grasses that caused the very allergic reaction to the hay fever sufferer, the current theory explains that it works like a homeopathic vaccination, producing antibodies to fend off the invader. Of course, honey is taboo for young children, whose immature immune systems cannot fend off the bacteria, making them vulnerable to infant botulism. Land of Milk, Mucous According to the folks at the venerable Mayo Clinic, “while drinking milk does
not cause your body to make more phlegm (mucous), it may make phlegm thicker and more irritating to your throat than it would normally be.” So when allergy symptoms strike, go easy on the yoghurt and pizza. And if eggs also aggravate your allergies, standing advice, as always – moderation.
Your Stinky Friend Garlic by any other name (such as “Stinky Rose”) is just as fabulous a shield against viruses, bacteria, inflammation, hypertension (it’s a natural blood-thinner), and even the occasional vampire. Raw garlic is loaded with allicin, a potent sulfur compound with immune boosting properties that has also been linked to warding off seasonal allergy symptoms. Vitamins B and C Studies have shown that taking C and B vitamins, particularly B-12, may lessen hay fever symptoms by lightening up stress and
boosting the immune system so it operates at optimum capacity. Bolster your B-12s with a dollop of caviar on rye toast; add color and class to a frittata or pizza, pasta dishes or buckwheat blinis. Octopus has a motherload of B-12, when enjoyed in Japanese, Mediterranean and Hawaiian dishes. Do a tentacle stirfry, seafood cocktail or cioppino with other omega-3 powerhouses like wild caught salmon, cod and bluefish. Crab and lobster, other sea treasures rich in Bs, are divine steamed, broiled or in a bisque or salad. And if you’re a diehard carnivore, do lamb in a ragu over egg noodles or braised with root veggies. As for rich sources of Vitamin C, load up on apricots, green and red peppers, broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
Full of Vinegar A home remedy for relieving allergy symptoms is a good ol’ glass of apple cider
Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce *** This easy, breezy dressing might also ward off hay fever. 5 tablespoons clover honey 3 tablespoons spicy mustard 1-1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar ½-tablespoon Meyer lemon juice Directions: In a bowl, whisk ingredients until blended. Refrigerate and use as a salad dressing, dipping sauce or condiment for burgers or sandwiches.
vinegar diluted with spring water. This can be warm or chilled, taken as a daily tonic or when allergies rear their ugly heads.
The Evil Cousin About 25 percent of seasonal allergy sufferers are also plagued with oral allergy syndrome characterized by itchiness, tingling or swelling of the mouth and lips. Allergies to specific pollens create cross-reactions to certain foods such as fruits, veggies and nuts. So allergics who react to grass
pollen may also react when eating peaches, celery, watermelon, tomatoes and oranges. If ragweed is the culprit, watch out for cantaloupe, cucumber, chamomile tea and sunflower seeds. And for alder pollen allergies, be cautious of apples, almonds, peaches, cherries and hazelnuts. For some, just cooking or peeling the fruits and veggies may diffuse oral allergy symptoms. In any event, if you suspect sensitivities, it’s best to see an allergist and get tested.
If you are selling a home or estate in La Jolla, read this... Prime Real Estate in La Jolla is a “Bargain” for Foreign Investors. The question is, do you or your agent know how to reach them effectively?
Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase La Jolla real estate. And they do. The question is, how do you attract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate? The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information. And since they don’t live in the local area or read local newspapers, investors look at hyper-local websites like www. lajollalight.com searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 115 countries and over a 30-day period in March, the site generated 32,826 visits from countries worldwide. It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily

What one person thinks “expensive”, isn’t so to another. Everything is relative. This is especially true for those purchasing local real estate with Euros, Loonies, Yen or Yuan. In fact, for many European, Canadian, Japanese or Mexican real estate investors, purchasing prime coastal real estate in La Jolla can now be done at an amazingly steep discount. All thanks to Mr. Bernanke, who as you know, has continued to cut points in the Fed rate, which has helped trigger further declines in the dollar versus other foreign currencies. And as of this writing, the US dollar against the Euro currently hovers around $1.39, which can be a dream or a nightmare; all depending upon the denomination of ones bank account. La Jolla real estate has long been the desired target of many wealthy foreign investors. But with the falling dollar, La Jolla real estate has now become a screaming bargain to foreign investors around the world.

Sweet and adorable, Gus is an 8-year-old Chihuahua mix. Trembling and struggling to move, Gus was found as a stray in late March 2011 and brought to the San Diego Humane Society. As Gus was cared for in our Veterinary Medicine Department, he slowly but surely came out of his shell. Cautious, slow-moving and quiet, yet undoubtedly resilient, Gus began developing close relationships with staff and portraying his affectionate nature. He will do best with patient pet-parents who can give him lots of love and attention. Due to his shyness, he will do best in a home with children 12 years and older. His adoption fee is $50 and includes his neuter, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, certificate for a free veterinary exam, and more! If you would like to meet Gus or learn more about him, please contact our North Campus Customer Service at (760) 757-4357.
