BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS he death of two bicyclists in San Diego County last week have focused police and community concern on the dangers of motorists and cyclists sharing the same busy roads.

The worries are heightened in La Jolla, where there are no designated bike lanes, narrow, hilly streets, and lots of tourists and students renting bikes to traverse the town.

Tragically, a hit-and-run accident on July 7 caused the death of 18-year-old Angel Bojorquez of Escondido, who was bicycling home from his job at Albertsons in Del Mar. His body was found in the bushes, thrown from his damaged bike, alongside a windy portion of Via De La Valle,

Committee opposes speed increase on Nautilus Street

La Jolla Music Society prepares for annual SummerFest, B1

By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Traffic and Transportation Board (T&T) has opposed a request by the city to increase the speed limit from 25 to 35 miles-per-hour on Nautilus Street, between West Muirlands Drive and Fay Avenue.

Checking with a city traffic analyst, T&T board member Cindy Thorsen found that during the past five years there were 18 accidents along this seven-block stretch, which includes Muirlands

Middle School. There were also 57 tickets issued, the majority of them for speeding.

“All of us have to turn left or right into our streets,” Thorsen said.

“I can’t make a turn at 35 miles per hour. You have to slow down.”

People often use Nautilus Street as shortcut to access La Jolla from Pacific Beach.

“It’s hard to get in and out of La Jolla, but allowing people to keep

Residents fear a 10 mile-per-hour speed limit increase on Nautilus Street could prove perilous, especially near the curve at Avenida Manana, where a blind spot makes it difficult to enter and exit onto the busy throughway.

There have been two accidents at the curve in the past year. PAT SHERMAN

Planning association green lights Chase Bank in Bird Rock

By Pat Sherman Despite some mild concern over traffic issues, the La Jolla Community Planning Association (CPA) voted July 5 to approve a neighborhood use permit for a Chase Bank location at 5605 La Jolla Blvd. in Bird Rock.

The vacant building, which most recently housed a surf shop, opened in 1976 as Security Pacific National Bank (which was acquired

by Bank of America in 1992).

Steve Laub of Land Solutions, Inc., who is representing Chase Bank on the project, outlined three changes that were made to the project since the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance Committee (PDO) approved the permit in May. Three additional parking spaces proposed for the rear of the property, which were denied by the city, have now been slated for the side parking lot. In addition, landscaping was slightly reduced to accommodate extra parking. A handicap parking space also was moved and an ADAcompliant sidewalk ramp

This vacant building at 5605 La Jolla Blvd. in Bird Rock is the proposed site of a new Chase Bank. The building opened in 1976 as Security Pacific Bank and has since served as a surf shop. Pat Sherman will be rebuilt.

CPA trustee David Little, who voted against the project when it went before the PDO, expressed concern with the estimated 514 additional vehicle trips that the bank would generate, given that traffic on La Jolla Boulevard had been “calmed and balanced pretty well,” he said.

Laub said the additional trips were about the same as would be generated by a restaurant at the site, and were few enough that the city did not require a traffic study.

“Chase believes and I also believe as a professional planner that you’re not

going to see a significant impact from this,” Laub said, noting that business owners and residents must now drive two miles north or two miles south to do their banking. Those trips would be eliminated for people who choose to bank with Chase, he said.

In response to concerns about bank employees parking on La Jolla Hermosa Avenue, Laub said Chase employees would park offsite, under a lease agreement negotiated with a nearby parking provider.

Trustee Mike Costello said the project received a “very

positive and enthusiastic” response when it went before the Bird Rock Community Council. Approval of signage will go through PDO. It’s façade will remain the same.

In other CPA news n Retaining wall permit denied: Despite an impassioned plea from a property owner to approve site and neighborhood development permits for an existing 6-foot-high wall on his property off La Jolla Scenic Drive North, CPA trustees could not make the findings to approve the wall, which exceeds height limits

for La Jolla Shores and was completed without the required permits.

The property owner, Julio Zegarra Jr., said he wrote the city a check for one permit, which was cashed, though the contractor who completed the work did not finish filing necessary documents with the city.

Zegarra said he spent upwards of $60,000 for the wall and related studies, but still hasn’t obtained a permit.

“This is just part of the whole mess we’re in, but it was not my intention to do something that was against the law,” said Zegarra, who requested the item be pulled from CPA’s April agenda.

The city has requested that Zegarra rebuild the wall, replacing its top two feet with glass or another transparent barrier to preserve public views.

Trustee Phil Merten, an architect, said that, for the most part, the character along La Jolla Scenic Drive North is low fences and walls, and that Zegarra’s wall “disrupts the architectural unity of the neighborhood.”

OVERWORKED,OVERSTRESSED

Brian Longmore, a consultant representing Zegarra, noted that pine trees on public land adjacent the wall already obscure a portion of the view, and that just north of the property is vacant land used as an overlook for Pottery Canyon.

“You’re not getting any view of our community, not getting any view of the cove” through the wall, Longmore said. “To gain 13 feet of visibility while driving down the road when you’ve got 300 feet of open space just to the north of there at a cost to his family’s security and privacy, I think is unreasonable.”

CPA Vice-president Joe La Cava was more sympathetic to the wall, nothing that the development it was in deviated from the surrounding community by design, though it still complied with the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance.

“I’m a big believer in the community plan, but the only thing we’re going to get out of this is a lousy

n Belvedere Promenade: CPA trustees lent their unanimous approval to the Belvedere Promenade Project, as first proposed and designed by architect Jim Alcorn more than 20 years ago.

The project, now an official component of the La Jolla Community Plan, would replace an existing section of Prospect Street between Herschel and Girard avenues with a pedestrian promenade.

Before approving the project, trustees expressed some concern that restaurateurs not let their sidewalk seating envelope the entirety of the promenade. n Consent agenda items approved by CPA trustees: PDO’s recommendation to allow changes to the top of the AT&T building at 5644

FROM SPEED LIMIT, A1 exceeding safe speeds isn’t the answer,” Thorsen said.

“People are just going to have to be patient.”

Gary Pence, a senior traffic engineer with the city of San Diego, said a speed limit survey required every seven years by the state found that 85 percent of the average 11,425 vehicles traveling east and west along this stretch each day moved at an average of 36 miles-per-hour.

Pence said the current speed limit of 25 is unenforceable by radar. By law, to use radar the posted speed limit must be at or

greater than what 85 percent of reasonably safe motorists travel, given prevailing road conditions.

“Otherwise, it becomes a speed trap,” he said.

Pence said police can still ticket motorists by pacing (or driving behind them at the same speed). When school is in session, the speed limit near Muirlands Middle School will remain 25, he noted.

Thorsen said she believes increasing the speed limit would create a speed trap that would largely ensnare local residents.

bureaucratic advantage,” she said. “It’s not the people driving the (36 mile-perhour) average that concerns us. Those aren’t the people who are abusing it.”

The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) has the final say on the proposed increase, though typically the LJCPA and city defer to T&T’s decision.

“We’re not going to pick a fight with the community if they’re adamantly opposed to (an increase),” Pence said.

T&T did approve a speed limit increase from 25 to 35 miles-per-hour along La Scenic Drive North, from La Jolla Village Drive to where at median ends near St. Anthony Orthodox Church.

T&T also approved the addition of a four-way stop sign at the intersection of Draper Avenue and Westbourne Street, near La Jolla High School (a two-way stop currently exists there).

Pence said the speed limit increase should take effect within 30 to 60 days and the stop sign will be added in about a month.

days, TLR7-deficient mice were unable to purge the infection throughout their lives.

The possibility that targeting this signaling pathway could be beneficial for treatment of persistent viral infections in humans because many viruses induce signaling through TLR7. This includes HIV and Hepatitis C, which currently afflicts hundreds of millions of people around the world with persistent infections.

The study appears in the journal Cell Host & Microbe. News release at http://bit.ly/OAn7Nz New calculator improves tech education Many American high school graduates — including some who aspire to careers in science technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) — can’t fully explain basic mathematical functions. This because the problem-solving norm is to punch “sin,” “cos,” or “log” into a calculator and accept the resulting value without question.

A new kind of calculator is posed to change that and is already making a measurably impact on student math performance.

The QAMA (Quick Approximate Mental Arithmetic) calculator challenges and engages students by requiring they provide a reasonable estimation of an expected answer as part of problem solving. If the calculator’s algorithms approve the approximation as reasonable for the given task, the QAMA (pronounced “kaama”) provides the exact answer as confirmation.

A product of the inventor-in-residence program at California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) at UC San Diego, the QAMA has been tested in three San Diego schools and one school in The Netherlands demonstrating remarkable improvements in math test scores.

At the UC San Diego Preuss School, for example, 28 students were split into two groups, with one group using the QAMA and the other group using a traditional calculator. Tested at the beginning and end of a four-week period, the group using the QAMA calculator scored 42 percent higher overall than the control group, and performed twice as well on recently studied material.

T O D A Y by Janet Douglas The Pleasure of Owning a Swimming Pool A swimming pool is one highly desirable home feature that may increase the value of your home and offer hours of recreational and social pleasure. A pool can sometimes be the deciding factor for many people looking for a vacation home or relocating to a more luxurious property. Pools are at the top of many people's most desired amenities list.

An outdoor pool can provide a focal point for fun and entertainment. There is no need to waste time driving to the gym or the beach when you can simply step outside and go for a swim. Because pool safety has come under heightened public awareness, make sure that your swimming pool complies with all safety precautions if you plan to sell your home.

From a practical point of view, swimming pools do require consistent amounts of care and maintenance. Keep this in mind if you are considering a home with a pool. It is also more financially prudent to look for a home that has a pool already in place, rather than building one of your own. It is also helpful to find out how much the present owners spend on pool upkeep, if they take care of it themselves or hire someone, and the age of the pool equipment.

Often it is worth your time and money to pay for a pool expert to inspect a pool and the equipment before you sign off on your contingencies. Also check with your insurance company to see if your premium will be higher with a pool and if there are any special safety precautions you need to install.

blocks of organic chemistry. The technique enables chemists to add new functional molecules to previously hard-to-reach positions on existing compounds — making it easier to generate new drugs and other organic chemicals.

The new advance is a method for “CH activation” — the removal of a simple hydrogen atom from the carbon backbone of an organic molecule, and the replacement of that hydrogen atom with a functional chemical group.

Compared to the traditional method, in which chemists modify only the existing functional groups on a compound, CH activation more directly boosts the complexity of a compound, giving it potentially valuable new properties.

In addition to the interest the technique is expected to generate among pharmaceutical chemists, it also has application to the fields of polymer chemistry and materials chemistry.

The technique is described in the journal Nature.

cylinder more than 300 feet long. It looks like a giant metal watersnake.

Owned by the U.S. Navy and operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the name is more than a clever acronym, as FLIP is able to rotate itself into a stable vertical position that allows scientists and engineers to do special types of high-quality research not possible on ships.

Spectators watched as operators aboard FLIP began deliberately filling the snakelike object’s tail with water to sink it. As with a swinging pendulum, the motion started slowly, gaining momentum until loud whistles of released pressure rang out and FLIP popped

Jesus Ruiz-Plancarte, associate development engineer at University of California, Irvine, was watching from the boat. He wore a patch on his neck to prevent seasickness, but he

said that he needed no such medication while aboard FLIP in 2010, when he spent 22 days taking measurements to study turbulence at the intersection between the air and sea surface.

Gerald D’Spain, a research geophysicist at Scripps, was also on the boat to watch FLIP do a 50th anniversary flip. He has done about 15 turns at research aboard FLIP over the years, mostly studying acoustics under the water, to which he says FLIP’s stability is uniquely conducive.

“Light doesn’t travel very far in the ocean; sound goes much farther. So if you want to know what’s happening down there you should not look, you should listen,”

said D’Spain.

His research team on one trip was trying to correlate the sounds that certain whales make with their breaching of the sea surface.

The whales often breached very far away, which meant that observers needed to use binoculars with a magnification of 25. From the deck of a rolling ship, such highpowered binoculars would have been difficult to get a steady look through, but not so with FLIP. Since 1962, it has been the only research platform of its kind, and these days it is being used more and more to study facets of climate change, such as how the ocean absorbs gases like carbon dioxide from the air.

FROM BICYCLISTS, A1 south of Paseo Delicias about 2 a.m., according to the county medical examiner’s office.

The California Highway Patrol later arrested Jin Hyuk Byun, 19, in connection with the hit-and-run, after a neighbor saw damage on his vehicle that matched a description.

Theodore Jones, 56, of San Diego, died on July 8 after striking a vehicle while riding his bike on Solola Avenue on July 3.

“It’s a growing concern. We need stronger laws against distracted driving,” said Andy Hanshaw, executive director of the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition (SDCBC).

Hanshaw said the coalition is working to make San Diego a more bike-friendly city by promoting the installation of more bike racks in business districts, and advocating on the state level for a law that requires drivers to give cyclists at least threefeet of space when passing them from behind.

“We think we live in a great place to ride. We have a growing network of bikes and trails. More and more people want to ride,” Hanshaw said.

But learning the safety aspects for biking in a metropolis is essential first.

Kevin Wood, chair of the SDCBC board of directors, teaches a sevenhour riding safety class that includes how to get comfortable bicycling in traffic.

New cyclists are taught to follow the rules of the road, which include using the rightmost lane in the direction they are traveling.

Bicyclists are also taught to scan traffic and signal when changing lanes.

Wood said statistics show only 18-percent of cycling accidents involve a bike and a car, and of those, the majority happen at intersections.

The most common accidents occur when drivers make a right turn in front of a cyclist, which is referred to as a “right hook.”

“Drivers should be aware and always expect to see cyclists,” Wood said, adding half of cycling injuries occur from riders falling off their bikes.

If there’s an object in the road — or uneven pavement or potholes — a deadly collision can happen if a passing motorist doesn’t give the cyclist enough space to avoid the hazard, which is why SDCBC is campaigning for the three-feet passing law.

Hanshaw said Oceanside is the only city in the county classified as a “bikefriendly community.”

In May, the first street parking space designed for bikes (a 12-space bike corral) was dedicated on Fifth Avenue, north of University Avenue. Hanshaw said more corrals are planned.

“We think that La Jolla and its beach areas are perfect for bike corrals,” Wood said. “Although La Jolla doesn’t have a lot of bike lanes, the lowered speed limit on La Jolla Boulevard in Bird Rock has made it better for cyclists.”

A former member of the UCSD bicycling team, Wood said he knows La Jolla well. “To get from campus to the Village can be just as fast on a bike (as in a vehicle),” he said.

Attorney breaches secure area during La Jolla fireworks show

By Pat Sherman An attorney with the law firm that has repeatedly sued to halt La Jolla’s annual fireworks show was caught snapping covert photographs on the Fourth of July in a secured area where the pyrotechnics are launched.

Marco Gonzalez of Encinitas-based Coast Law Group told the La Jolla Light his attorney, Livia Borak, was merely documenting the environmentally damaging detritus left behind by the event — evidence that could later be used in court.

“We go down there every year to take pictures of the illegal show,” said Gonzalez, who has prevailed in three of five suits he has filed against the event, on behalf Livia Borak of the Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation, of which he is founder and executive director.

“The stuff that we picked up off the ground, the footage that we’ve taken at last year’s show, it’s very damaging,” Gonzalez said. “It goes totally contrary to the way that they describe the show. We show burning embers, pieces of fireworks going directly into the water and onto the bluff.”

Though police did not cite Borak for the breach, Robert Howard, the attorney representing the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation, said he is pursuing other action against her and Coast Law Group.

“This is a complete violation of ethical requirements,” Howard said. “As attorneys, for whatever discovery purposes they were

trying to achieve, you cannot go into a restricted space and put yourself and put others at risk of physical harm — all for purposes of discovery. This would have to have been done through a formal discovery request, so that proper safety measures could have been taken.”

Howard said his firm, Latham & Watkins, is evaluating what steps need to be taken to report the incident to the State Bar, and is also considering filing a restraining order against Coast Law Group and its attorneys.

incident,” Howard said. “If these attorneys aren’t going to play by the rules, we’re going to have a court order them to stay away from the events, because they become a safety risk to the event.”

Marianne Bates, an employee of Lakesidebased Fireworks America, said she was doing her job timing fireworks detonations when she noticed a shadowy figure moving through the bushes at the edge of the secured perimeter, located at the northernmost edge of Ellen Browning Scripps Park.

“I grabbed her by the arm and took her out,” said Bates, noting that the attorney was about five to 10 feet from the fireworks, for about 30 seconds, before being handed over to one of nine security guards monitoring the event.

The only people allowed inside the secured launch area are trained professionals, fully dressed in flame-retardant clothing, with eye and ear protection.

“She was wearing a very light beach shirt, no eye or ear protection” and was “unbelievably, scary close,” Bates said.

About 30 seconds after Bates escorted Borak out, a mortar exploded, causing burns to one of Fireworks America’s staff.

“Had I have fallen while I was trying to get her out I would have been hurt, even dressed in protective gear,” Bates said. “I put my life at risk, and that is what makes me mad. I am fine with Coast Law Group

pursuing their passions, but when they go into our firing site during a show, putting other people at risk, then it’s personal to me.

“I don’t know if she was there to take pictures, I don’t know if she was there to sabotage the show,” she said.

Bates said it wasn’t until after the show, when her crew was cleaning up and Borak and Gonzalez returned to take more photos, that she and others recognized Borak. “That’s when I read her the riot act,” Bates said.

Though Boark was not available for comment Friday, Gonzalez said Howard and Fireworks America had “overstated” and misrepresented the incident.

“Livia walked past the fence to take some photographs, she was asked to leave, and she did,” Gonzalez said. “Only after the fact, once they realized that she was part of the Coast Law Group, did they try to escalate matters and get the police involved … making it into something that it wasn’t.”

Asked whether his attorney knew she was putting herself at risk, Gonzalez said, “No more than the other people that were within the fire-shooting zone. She was far enough back that she didn’t feel like she was in danger. … It was totally blown out of proportion.

“Frankly the police lectured Fireworks America on a combination of them having no claim and having insufficient security,” he said.

SDG&E uncovers streetcar tracks from early 1900s

SDG&E workers uncovered tracks on Fay Avenue from a streetcar line that ran from San Diego to La Jolla in the early 1900s. The crew, which is replacing an underground electric cable line installed in the early 1970s, has been advised to do its best to work around the tracks.

Pat Sherman

By Pat Sherman A San Diego Gas & Electric crew uncovered old streetcar tracks below the pavement on Fay Avenue, while working to replace an existing 2.5-mile segment of aging underground electric cable.

The project will upgrade the utility’s aging underground electrical system in La Jolla, which was installed in the early 1970s.

The streetcar tracks belonged to San Diego’s old No. 16 line, which began providing service from Ocean Beach to La Jolla on July 1, 1924. The streetcar line was abandoned on Sept.

16, 1940 and replaced with bus service. A streetcar terminal at the corner of Fay Avenue and Prospect Street (now the building housing Barfly nightclub) was also demolished that year.

SDG&E’s lead archaeologist, Susan Hector, said the discovery was no surprise.

“Pretty much every time anybody does any roadwork in this area they come upon a piece of it,” Hector said.

“It’s like here’s another little piece.”

Hector said a specialist was dispatched to the worksite July 5 and was taking pictures, measuring it, and comparing it with what’s already known.

“Basically, when it’s

In order to qualify, patients must either be:

exposed we document it and … try to avoid impacting it as much as possible, and then move on with the project,” she said.

Hector said it is possible that portions of the track could be removed if needed to complete the job. “We just have to take it on a caseby-case basis,” she said.

San Diego’s development services director, Kelly Broughton, said that when the city runs into old trolley or electric car tracks while conducting water or sewer projects, the first protocol is to avoid disturbing them.

“We have contacted various railroad museums and railroad companies to see if they wanted us to do

SDG&E representatives estimate no disruption in residential service during the project, which should take four to eight months to complete. Crews and contractors will trench about 13,600 feet of La Jolla streets to install the new cable system, as well as nine underground vaults to

facilitate maintenance.

Minor equipment upgrades and landscape work will be performed at the Pearl Street substation.

Project Manager Richard Rodriguez said the life expectancy of electric cable lines is from 30 to 35 years.

“We’re finding the most critical areas of our transmission system,” he said. “La Jolla is one of the many around the central city of San Diego that has a direct burrier cable system — and this ranked right up there.”

Cars are actually courteous to bicycle riders. Fourth of July was a little crowded, but that’s to be expected.

Steven Sheilds Visiting from Los Angeles

No. When I was a kid we used to bike all over La Jolla and it was no big deal … but it wasn’t as dangerous. Now, there are way more people and more cars, and giant cars, and fast cars.

Diane Kelly La Jolla

I ride my bike everyday in La Jolla.

I feel safe.

Tony Peoz La Jolla

Oh yeah. I ride my bike everywhere. I ride to work over at Rimel’s and I live over at WindanSea, so I ride my bike to go surfing, I ride my bike to work. La Jolla’s very friendly. You can just go everywhere.

“They should have bike lanes … (and) no cars should be able to drive in the bike lanes. I think it would prevent a lot of deaths if you had bike lanes — and wear a helmet.”

Bob Smith Tempe, Ariz.

“People are friendly, they’re tolerant of the bicyclists, but the city is not designed that well for bikes.

The roads are terrible; they’re so broken up. The crossings are terrible. You have to use the sidewalks practically all the time.”

Jake Nelson La Jolla

“Definitely. I think most residents here have bicycles. There are certain roads in town where I don’t think I would actually ride my bike on the street — like Pearl. I’d stick to the sidewalk, just because it’s heavier traffic and people are driving faster, but for the most part I feel fine being on the road.”

Theresa Anderson La Jolla

“I do. I cycle seven days a week. I bike all the way to Ocean Beach and back and, for the most part, most of the people here are courteous and polite to bikers.”

Let’s keep La Jolla secession hopes in the news

I

believe both the Village of La Jolla and the City of San Diego would best be served by a La Jolla secession. There is a misconception that losing La Jolla would be a budget disaster for the City of San Diego, causing hardship and affecting services to other parts of the city.

Surprise, it will not. Life would still go on as usual downtown. The Village of La Jolla, by state statute, cannot secede from its parent city if it were to cause harm to the health and welfare of the citizens of its parent city.

Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) already verified that secession would not harm the city of San Diego.

La Jolla would, for a period of seven years, be required to pay the same amount of money the city would lose if La Jolla left.

The reason for wanting to secede is to preserve, enhance and protect La Jolla.

La Jolla is now subject to the laws and actions of the City of San Diego, which has undergone dramatic growth and change in recent years.

That growth has increasingly put San Diego’s priorities as a city at direct odds with those of La Jolla as a community.

Our Readers Write Recently another community in San Diego, UTC, found themselves in a battle of their own; organizing into a task force to prevent a natural gas power plant from developing in their community, courtesy of the City of San Diego.

Imagine having to put up a fight to keep a power plant out of La Jolla? Without incorporation, La Jolla is at the whim and mercy of downtown (policymakers).

Another reason to incorporate, La Jolla roadways are a mess and the crime rate is increasing. Ask the residents of Bird Rock who have had their homes burglarized while they were away. Ask the surfers who surf at the Cove, and the scuba divers who dive at The Shores.

into and their belongings taken. La Jolla has had three murders since I have been living here.

As a city, La Jolla could hire more police officers to patrol its boundaries, offering additional protection to the people who live, work, and visit here. We could clean up and maintain our own roadways offering a safer more welcoming approach to La Jolla.

The only way to accomplish that is by becoming the City of La Jolla. By seceding from the City of San Diego we would be one less community the city has to take care of, thereby freeing up precious resources to take care of other communities that need their help the most.

There is no denying it is an overwhelming task to separate a community to form a city — but not impossible, nothing is ever impossible.

Currently, Independent La Jolla has no financial means and not a lot of support. Still, there are a few of us determined not to give up trying to make La Jolla a better place to live, work, and play.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - july 12, 2012 - Page A15

Slow down everybody. It’s summer in the city!

Our View

A

lthough La Jolla still retains some of its founding sleepyquaint-artist-colony-villageby-the-sea-and-surf charm, this thriving metropolis now houses 46,781 people living within its seven miles, according to the 2010 U.S. Census.

And La Jolla’s hilly, winding streets, built for a gentler time, now must service residents out for a walk, moms pushing strollers, youths riding skateboards and scooters, tourists on segways, bicyclists, buses, motorists, fire trucks, ambulances, and utility construction vehicles and their orange cones.

When cars are parked along the curbs, the thoroughfares shrink even narrower, especially when large luxury SUVs and custom trucks drive-through, making maneuvers that are precarious at best.

Add to this madcap mix summer visitors who don’t know which lane goes where, and what street

houses the restaurant they seek. Hundreds of weekend beach-goers set on watching the seals and snorkeling the Cove, intensify the congestion along Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Village Drive.

To say traffic is “tremendous” at times is no exaggeration. We’ve all arrived at our destination with nearmiss horror stories to tell spouses and co-workers about our drive into and out of La Jolla.

At La Jolla Light we’re watching with great interest the push by environmentalists to get folks to “Bike to

Work” and create “Bikefriendly Communities.”

While absolutely cosmic in concept (Albert Einstein said about his theory of relativity, ”I thought of that while riding my bicycle”) in practicality, such program wheels may be spinning in vain. Busy urban streets just aren’t bicycle-friendly.

We wish it weren’t so.

The solution, as it is with so many things in life, is peaceful co-existence. Since we must share the roads, we all need to slow down, watch out for one another, and give the wayward a brake.

If your home isn’t advertised in The Light every week, you’re missing potential buyers DID YOU KNOW? The people most likely to buy your home are local...in fact, 78% of the buying pool either live in La Jolla or in an adjacent town - and every week, potential buyers search for homes in The Light.

The house you’re selling here in La Jolla will be purchased by a “unique” buyer—someone who lives in the top 1% of the wealthiest people in the United States. After all, La Jolla is expensive. La Jolla is exclusive. And La Jolla attracts successful people. But did you know your home will most likely be purchased by someone who already lives in La Jolla or in the next town over? Think about it: the people who already live here—love living here. So most people, when they move, move to another location in town to get a better view, more property, or get a more

convenient one story home. And when people here are looking for their next home, they look in The Light.

And they look every week...

In fact, someone is looking for a home like yours right now. Is your home for sale listed in The Light this week? If not, it should be. The reasons are simple: 1) Everyone in La Jolla reads The Light 2) The Light has the most complete and up-to-date home listings available.

No other publication, in the area— and this includes the internet—offers such a complete local search solution for potential buyers. Serious buyers are searching The Light.

3) According to research, the most successful agents in town use The Light to generate qualified “leads” and home sales. This makes sense because the majority of people looking to buy your house are most likely to live within a five mile radius of your home. Be sure your agent has your home listed in The Light.

4) The Light is hand delivered by the U.S. Post Office to mailboxes in town, every week. While other papers end up on the lawn, in gutters or in “racks,” The Light guarantees that your home listing will be delivered to every residence. This means your home will be seen by more potential buyers...more local exposure...equals quicker sales.

Advertise with consistency Consistent, week in and week out advertising in The Light is the most effective way to sell your house. That’s because new home buyers appear on a weekly basis. And when they’re in the market to buy, they’re actively looking for your ad or listing.

Ask your agent if they are using the La Jolla Light and sister publications. If not, have your agent call the La Jolla Light at 858-875-5945 and ask for Sarah to get your home sold faster.

By Pat Sherman The California State Bar has suspended the right of attorney Theodore Pinnock to practice law in the state, following allegations that he misappropriated $27,300 of a client’s funds and repeatedly filed claims on the client’s behalf without authority.

Pinnock, an advocate for disabled access who has a lengthy record of disciplinary action, has sued the former Riford Center, Mitch’s Surf Shop and other La Jolla businesses over noncompliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

He has been deemed a “vexatious litigant” by the courts, or one who files spurious lawsuits merely to harass or subdue an adversary. Pinnock typically sends a letter offering to settle out of court for fees ranging from a couple Theodore hundred dollars to several Pinnock thousand dollars.

Court documents filed earlier this year state “Pinnock admits he failed to deposit client funds in a client trust account (CTA) and comingled funds.”

Pinnock also admitted to “grossly negligent misappropriation by the omission of failing to deposit funds into the CTA.” Last year, Pinnock, who has cerebral palsy, sued the La Jolla Community Center (then known as the Riford Center) over a decision to locate a wheelchair access ramp on the

side of the building, rather than in the front.

Riford Board chair and attorney Glen Rasmussen said the cost of placing the wheelchair ramp at the front of the building was significantly more — almost $60,000 — and put the nonprofit center’s planned upgrades behind schedule as it strives to locate additional funding.

Rasmussen said the city awarded the La Jolla Community Center’s operators a federal grant to complete a number of renovations. The city approved the side entrance ramp on Bonair Street, which is allowed for an existing structure.

However, Rasmussen said, “The city attorney decided that in order to avoid the city being sued and us being sued, we should build the ramp up front. … That took pretty close to a third of the grant.”

Rasmussen recalled representing a Pacific Beach gas station lessee being sued by Pinnock — their first interaction.

“It was an older commercial building and the wheelchair access was not up to standards,” Rasmussen said. “The guy said, ‘It’s going to cost me a ton of money and the improvements he wants me to do are beyond my capability.

“It turns out that what Mr. Pinnock really wanted was just a monetary settlement for the lessee to avoid being sued. So the lessee figured out that it was cheaper to pay him and make him go away. That didn’t insulate him from other claims, but that was the kind of thing Pinnock was doing — going around threatening businesses.”

Two La Jollans to take part in London Olympics

By Phil Dailey he 2012 London Olympics are right around the corner as the games get under way on July 27. There are several San Diego athletes who will compete for Team USA this summer — two of whom are La Jollans.

Carrie Johnson, who will compete in her third Olympics in kayak, is one of them. Johnson, a graduate of La Jolla High, won the women’s K-1 500 meters at the U.S. kayak trials in Oklahoma City back in April.

Johnson is also a 2009 graduate of UCSD and is working toward her degree in veterinary medicine at UC Davis Brian Alexander, who currently lives in La Jolla, will also take part in the Olympics as a member of the U.S. water polo team. Alexander is graduate of Foothill High School in Santa Ana, as well as UC Santa Barbara.

Johnson is a medal contender for sure, but she has had a few setbacks along the way with her health as she suffer’s from Crohn’s disease. Despite these setbacks, Johnson did win two gold medals at the 2011 Pan American Games.

As for Alexander and the men’s U.S. water polo

LJYB’s Pinto Red team placed third at the PONY Regional Tournament in Carlsbad, good enough to advance to sectionals.

10 QUESTIONS

Jerry Gold earns honors for work in mental health Jerry Gold, Ph.D. MBA, was named San Diego County’s 2012 Mental Health Person of the Year by the County Mental Health Recognition Team. As administrator of the behavioral health clinical care line for Scripps Health, Dr. Gold oversees behavioral health throughout the system.

The Mental Health Person of the Year award recognizes those who have made a dramatic impact on mental health within the community, and Dr. Gold joins an esteemed group of previous winners, Jerry Gold including prominent clinicians, administrators, advocates and judges.

Dr. Gold was nominated largely because of his role in establishing the pioneering A-Visions program at Scripps Mercy — a vocational training and modified support employment program for people with mental illness. In addition to his work at Scripps, Dr. Gold has been an advocate for those with mental illness throughout the community while fighting to erase the stigma surrounding mental illness.

What brought you to La Jolla?

The La Jolla Cluster school district, the proximity to the coastline, and the access to state-of-the-art healthcare.

What might you add, subtract or improve in the area?

I would like to see more resources put into our schools focusing on the content of the educational experience and enhanced educational facilities. I would like our schools to integrate more technology, hardwire music and art into the learning experience, and increase understanding through real-life learning experiences. I would like to see schools partner more with local corporations like Qualcomm and Scripps to provide resources and practice opportunities for students in the field.

I also wish that the curriculum would be more responsive and flexible to a fast-paced, wiredglobal environment.

And finally, I’d like a zip line for my children to get to school, and go to the beach from our house.

La Jolla Cultural Partners

FROM SUMMERFEST, B1 we’ve ever done,” is a collaboration with La Jolla Playhouse, a festival first.

“We examined all the different venues,” Lin explained, “and the biggest worry was the visual aspect.

I want the audience to have a slightly more elevated view of the stage so that you can see the lighting.”

“The Weiss is just perfect for this piece,” said Christopher Beach, president and artistic director of La Jolla Music Society, who called Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley and managing director Michael Rosenberg “great colleagues.”

In addition to providing the venue for “Water Passion,” the Playhouse’s production department is supporting the event.

The Aug. 4 performance of “Water Passion” will be preceded by a “Prelude” discussion with Lin and composer Tan Dun. The “Preludes” are a signature feature of SummerFest, designed to educate and enlighten concertgoers.

“They provide a context for the audience that is terribly important,” said Beach.

Christopher Beach, president and artistic director of La Jolla Music Society, and Cho-Liang Lin, SummerFest’s music director. COURTESY Aug. 8 performance at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s Sherwood Auditorium will be a “hybrid” concert, said Lin. It will explore classical influences in the first half of the show, and more traditional jazz in the second half. SummerFest enjoys a tradition of presenting jazz musicians in fresh creative contexts, among them keyboardist Chick Corea and sax man Wayne Shorter.

The Tokyo String Quartet, which will perform Aug. 12 at Sherwood Auditorium,

has had an ongoing residency commitment to SummerFest. “We learned that this summer was going to be their last in La Jolla,” Lin said. “I’m very sad for that, but I’m glad we get to celebrate them.”

Beach is among those who will be in the audience for the quartet’s goodbye performance. “It’s going to be a bittersweet concert for me,” he said. “I will personally listen to every note even more closely than I normally do.”

Beach said he’s particularly proud of the relationship

between artists and audiences that has been built over the years at SummerFest. Many visiting musicians stay in the area for a week or more during the festival, some in patrons’ homes.

The result? “The artists walk on stage and they have an audience whom they know,” said Beach. “The audience walks into the theater and it’s a friend of theirs who walks on stage.”

SummerFest audiences are attentive and appreciative, said Beach. “The artists repeatedly say to me: ‘This audience is listening more intently and with greater care and respect than any other audience I know except for (in) Japan and Paris.’

“The audience (at SummerFest) is breathless, silent in a pause. For the artists to be in a group of people who are listening intently is a great shower of praise.”

This season’s SummerFest audiences will be treated to a little envelope-pushing by music director Lin. “I hope that with time, exposure and perhaps conviction, the audience has come to realize there is a great deal of music to be enjoyed and experienced, that a trust has developed

Also, on Aug. 15, SummerFest presents “A Little Nightmare Music” with Igudesman

The Volcano cocktail is large enough for two guests.

By Kelley Carlson ccording to at least one source, Mandarin House isn’t just one of the best Chinese restaurants in La Jolla -it’s among the top 100 in the United States.

Chinesemenu.com, a service of Chinese Restaurant News, identifies it as among the premier establishments of its type (out of more than 46,000 nationwide) meeting ideal criteria for location, price and cuisine.

And local residents seem to agree, as Mandarin House is a frequent recipient of reader’s choice awards from area publications.

The original location is on La Jolla Boulevard, a short distance from WindanSea Beach and just south of the Village. A second site is in San Diego’s Bankers Hill neighborhood.

Two white lion statues greet customers outside the entrance to the La Jolla restaurant. Once inside, guests will find an elegant, yet simple setting. The small lobby is softly lit by a chandelier; an aquarium rests on a ledge just to the right. Patrons can watch news or sports programming while seated at a table or the four-seat bar.

The neutral-toned main dining and banquet rooms are spacious, with minimal decor, as the true focus here is on the cuisine. Casual booths line the windows, which are set with teacups and Chinese zodiac placemats. More formal, whiteclothed tables are located down the center of the room and along the mirrored wall; the cushioned seats feature swirling oriental patterns. Light contemporary music plays quietly in the background.

Much of the food is colorful, pairing crispy and smooth textures and sweet and sour tastes — typical of Mandarin-style cooking. Other dishes incorporate the Szechuan method, with bold flavors of garlic and chili peppers and the use of ingredients such as peanuts and ginger. Hunan is yet another style that can be found, in the hot and spicy, deep-hued dishes.

Guests can begin their meal with appetizers like Smoked Chicken-Mandarin Seaweed, Roast Pork Slices, Egg Rolls and Crab Rangoon. Or there are soups ranging from Hot and Sour, Won Ton and Egg Drop to Chicken Gold Corn.

There are a number of entree options, in categories of poultry, duck, beef, pork, seafood, vegetables, and noodles and rice.

Highlights include Crispy Beef, composed of shredded prime beef quick-fried with carrots and celery, then cooked in a hot, spicy sauce; Double Happiness, a combination of jumbo shrimp and scallops in a special sauce; and Peking Duck served with thin pancakes.

Owner John Law especially touts the Kung-Po Chicken, consisting of diced poultry and scallions cooked in a spicy, red-chili pepper sauce and garnished with peanuts.

“Nobody makes the sauce like us,” he said.

There are also chef’s specials such as Ginger Shrimp, which is battered shrimp quick-fried with shredded ginger root in a sweet-and-milky, spicy hot sauce; and the zesty Orange Beef.

Delivery is available (for a $1 charge) within five miles of the restaurant, 5-9 p.m. daily, with a minimum $15 order.

Where’s the prozac for Techno Depression?

Let Inga tell you ...

I

t’s official: I’m suffering from Techno-Depression.

Last week I went to get my hair done and when the customer before me handed her credit card to the stylist, Angie inserted this tiny white gismo into the top of her phone, swiped the card, and had the customer sign by writing her name with her finger on the screen.

I’ve been left in the digital dust.

I’m still trying to figure out how to answer my cell phone. My younger son does a truly vicious imitation of me using a cell phone. Because I use mine so rarely, I never remember what you’re supposed to do when it rings. Hence I tend to randomly push buttons and yell “HELLO? HELLO?” at it. Henri swears that when he calls me on my phone, he automatically holds his own phone at least a foot from his ear.

But just for the record, how intuitive is it to push END when you want to START? Huh? Huh? How hard would it be to label that button On/Off? (This could be my next career: designing electronics for the technically challenged.)

Hairstylist Angie has been my cell phone tech support for quite a while now. It used to be that I had to drive the phone over to Radio Shack in downtown La Jolla and have the kid behind the counter erase text messages for me. He’d always say, “Don’t you want to read them first?” I’d reply, “Nope. It’s always some guy name Luis who thinks I want to hook up.”

I am perfectly fine not texting, although when I got the phone, T-Mobile proceeded to send me my password via text message. I proceeded to bury them in execrative invective by e-mail, pointing out that just because one has a phone doesn’t mean one knows how to text. They need to understand that some of their customers are seriously techno-impaired.

Angie insists that cell phones, even Smart Phones,

are not as complicated as they look. Even her mom has one, she says, and she’s almost 60.

“I’m surprised she can still tie her shoes,” I said drily.

“They have classes, you know,” Angie persisted. “No,” I said, “unless you can get the app where some 15-yearold follows you around and works the phone for you, it’s too hard for me.”

I first began to get the feeling I was being left behind in the digital Pleistocene when one of my kids moved a few years back. “Let me know when you get your new number,” I said.

“Mom,” he answered, “nobody but you has a land line anymore. In fact, are they still legal?”

Now my worst nightmare has become a reality: all the electronics I already have trouble operating have been consolidated into one I can’t operate at all: a Smart Phone.

My-two-year old granddaughter watches downloaded TV shows and videos on her iPhone (her parents’ old one). All the photos I get now have been taken by someone’s cell phone instead of their digital one. I’m still trying to work myself into the iPod generation but Angie says she downloaded (uploaded?) all her music onto the phone, too. iPods are so last decade, she says.

Reading the Sunday New York Times travel section, I have learned that besides using your phone as a boarding pass, one can now track one’s bags with one’s phone, and subscribe to services that will upgrade your

airplane seat as soon as a better one becomes available. I fear I’m destined to have the worst seat on any plane, and be the last one out of the continent after the blizzard. And definitely the only one who truly has no idea where her bags are.

Those commercials on TV where the kid tells his fawning phone servant to call him Rock God or find places that deliver tomato soup really drive home in the most depressing way possible that I’ve outlived my technical skills. Ironically, in college, I was pretty much my dorm’s tech support.

Such was my renown with Smith-Corona electric typewriters that everybody came to me for help changing the ribbons.

My younger son thinks the cure for Techno Depression is techno skill acquisition. Could I at least try to embrace cell phones? If you can breeze through the New York Times crossword puzzle 365 days a year, he says, (well, 313 days really; the Monday puzzle is too easy to be worth doing), surely you can learn to operate a cell phone?

“Of course,” added Henri, “you will have to turn it on.”

“But,” I said, “I don’t want anyone to actually reach me.”

I guess I could just ignore it when it rings and just use its other features. Because I really do want to know where my bags are.

Psychologists’ book has tips on how to unlock happiness

By Claire Harlin It’s not uncommon for people to experience emotions from everyday events, but when those emotions aren’t resolved, they can greatly shape a person’s beliefs and behavior for life.

That’s much of the premise behind Peter Lambrou’s new book “Code to Joy,” which he co-wrote with George Pratt. Both Lambrou and Pratt hold PhDs and are clinical psychologists in practice at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla.

Lambrou and Pratt have developed an approach to being content that seeks to recode the “blocking beliefs” that often stand between people and total happiness.

“Sometimes the subconscious mind can rule the

conscious mind,” said Lambrou, who specializes in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy for anxiety, phobias and weight loss.

Lambrou said he studied journalism as an undergraduate, and then entered the field of psychology full-force, already having co-authored a book on self-hypnosis before deciding to get a degree in the field and practice clinically.

The authorship opportunity arose in 1982 when Lambrou attended a selfhypnosis workshop by psychologist Brian Mogul Alman, who contracted him to write the book. It focused heavily on the self-hypnosis process and Lambrou’s own path to discovering it. “SelfHypnosis: The Complete

Peter Lambrou, a clinical psychologist at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, has written five books, including ‘SelfHypnosis: The Complete Manual For Health and SelfChange,’ ‘Instant Emotional Healing,’ and his latest, ‘Code to Joy.’ COURTESY

Manual For Health and SelfChange,” has sold more than 250,000 copies.

Lambrou said the first book was “pivotal,” and he has since continued writing. Other books include “Stop Your Panic

Attacks Now,” “Hyper-Performance: The A.I.M. Strategy,” and “Instant Emotional Healing: Acupressure for the Emotions.”

His new book, “Code to Joy,” is his fifth release. The “code” in the title refers to

the thoughts and beliefs installed in our minds that we must sometimes change.

“One must take a lifelimiting belief and flip it around so that it reflects the truth,” said Lambrou.

“Sometimes that comes in the form of an affirmation.”

Many instilled beliefs that keep us from being happy are formed by “microtraumas” that occur in our childhoods, Lambrou said.

“A person in early times of life doesn’t always have the context to understand certain traumatic experiences like an adult would,” he said. “As adults, it’s too late to change what has been imprinted; in our early years, we get imprinted with no filter.”

These micro-traumas are not always completely tragic, but they are impressionable.

He shared the example of a patient who used to help her aunt with cleaning, and then her aunt gave her a

FROM BOOK, B6 quarter. Her mother, however, criticized her for taking money from family, and that patient later in life has trouble in business because she finds it difficult to take money from others, and she views her clients as family.

Lambrou said he has also seen feelings of abandonment result from custody battles that took place in childhood, or feelings of perfectionism and inadequacy result from people who grew up in strict environments. In the book, Lambrou provides an extensive list of possible scenarios; all gathered from patients’ experiences he has observed during his decades of clinical practice.

“Micro-traumas are like small, little cuts that occur and seem insignificant, but they can really shape a person’s beliefs of themselves later on,” Lambrou said.

A.J. Croce will bring an eclectic repertoire to Anthology

By David L. Coddon You can go home again.

After living and writing music in Nashville, A.J. Croce is back in San Diego, where he was raised on love and music. The son of Ingrid and the late Jim Croce is back in the town where he played his first gig: a bar mitzvah party when he was 12 years old.

Now 40 years old and eight albums and too many live performances to count later, A.J. Croce is enjoying a musical career that happily defies categorization. His influences range from pop and rock to R&B and jazz, and they’re reflected in his songwriting and piano playing.

Croce, speaking by phone from Paso Robles, site of a gig, says his eclecticism “happens naturally. I get to play what makes me happy or I’m not happy doing it.

I’ve always been drawn to different kinds of music. To me, it’s more exciting. It’s more interesting.

“I’m a songwriter and a piano player more than anything else. I write songs and I play them.”

“I was fortunate to have all these recordings he made in the living room or in the kitchen on an old reel-toreel,” Croce recalled. “I got a sense when I was 30 about what he was into, and I was completely amazed that we had so many of the same influences, from Fats Waller, Bessie Smith, Woody Guthrie, Mississippi John Hurt, country artists like Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell

Acoustic guitarist Leo Kottke takes the stage at Anthology on July 19 and 20. COURTESY PHOTOS and Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson, and rock ‘n’ roll stuff and all sorts of R&B — Sam Cooke and Otis Redding.

“Where our styles separate is I got more into jazz stuff and a little more into the rock ‘n’ roll music of my generation, and he got into folk music like the Weavers and the East Coast coffeehouse scene of the ’50s.”

Those who attend A.J. Croce’s show July 18 at Anthology in Little Italy are in for a treat. “For 20 years, I never played my dad’s

stuff, but I’m going to play a handful of songs of his,” A.J. said. “I’ve been doing a couple for maybe a year now because I just love his music. In January, we did a tribute on his birthday, and it was so successful that I’ll definitely do three or four of them.

“As much as I like stuff like ‘Rapid Roy (The Stock Car Boy)’ and those kinds of tunes, I really like some of the lesser-known songs of his that are more serious and down to earth,” Croce

A.J. Croce says he will perform some songs by his father, Jim Croce, during the July 18 concert at Anthology. said, citing his father’s “Box Number 10” and “Tomorrow’s Gonna Be A Brighter Day.” Whatever Jim Croce songs A.J. performs at Anthology, they’ll be performed on guitar. “I didn’t play much guitar in the past, and I’ve really picked up the instrument,” he said.

25 years

Since 1987 · Architect Mark D. Lyon, Inc.

I

originally opened the Office in La Jolla out of necessity, since it was close to home. But I keep it here out of desire. Others have described why we all love living here better than I can, but La Jolla is also a special place to practice Architecture.

My family and I just returned from Europe and I was able to take them to Rome and St. Peters Cathedral. This time I was able to see my Son’s face as he walked through the entry and looked up.

As his eyes widened and his jaw dropped, I saw why I do what I do.

St. Peters is one of those buildings that Architects visit for the obvious reasons. It is one of the best! It is my favorite because it inspires me in a unique way. When I stand in this magnificent space, I am anxious to get back to drawing, sketching and creating. It makes me want to try harder.

Michelangelo, the Architect for St. Peters lived until he was 89. For a person to live to that age in the fifteenth century was not only amazing it was almost unreal. I believe, the reason for his longevity was that he was never satisfied and was so driven, as few that share his position in the evolution of human endeavor, to achieve what he did.

Inspiration is what drives us all in different

ways. St. Peters inspires me. La Jolla also inspires me. Not the same obviously, but the feelings are the same. It’s the variety of Architectural styles, textures, colors and details all combined on a three dimensional backdrop of magnificent natural beauty. It is one of the best.

On many occasions, I will talk to friends or Clients who have traveled to all parts of the world, and almost to the person, they return to La Jolla and admit there is no better place.

We can all all find things that inspire us, we just need to pay attention. La Jolla’s potential is unlimited and it is why I am thankful every day that I am one lucky Dog.

Chilly day doesn’t dampen fabulous Fourth in La Jolla

R

esidents, guests and visitors chose their viewing spots with care in anticipation of the 20-minute fireworks spectacular that started at 9 p.m. July 4th high above the sea. The $27,000 pyrotechnic presentation was funded (for the fourth year in a row) by donations collected by the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation. This was La Jolla’s 27th annual Independence Day celebration with fireworks, and the show took place despite efforts by some environmentalists who’ve been lobbying the courts to have the show shut down.

undreds of families, friends, faculty, staff and community members were welcomed in more than 10 different languages as part of The Preuss School UCSD’s Commencement ceremony on June 29 at Manchester Field. The class of 2012 included 90 students — 95 percent of whom have been accepted to a four-year college or university, said Scott Barton, Preuss principal, adding “These students have worked very hard to get where they are today.” The Preuss School is a charter middle and high school for motivated, lowincome students whose parents have not graduated from college.

The school was recently named the top charter school in California in a report released by USC’s Center on Educational Governance. In May, Preuss was named the top transformative high school in the nation by Newsweek for the second year in a row.

Preuss students turn the tassel at graduation.

‘Dames at Sea’ tap dance their way through madcap musical

Let’s Review

By diana Saenger

Y

Jeffrey Scott Parson (Dick), Roxane Carrasco (Mona) and Luke Jacobs (Lucky) tap a beat in ‘Dames At Sea,’ now playing at North Coast Repertory Theatre. Barren Henzel

ou could almost sense the spirit of 1930s Hollywood choreographer Busby Berkeley swirling through the house during the opening of North Coast Repertory Theatre’s “Dames at Sea.” Had he been there, Berkeley may have provided the biggest round of applause for a show that is witty and funny with a cast of six who awed the audience with their terrific tap-dance numbers.

The first act introduces Mr. Hennessey (Spencer Rowe) who is about to produce a Broadway show. His star is the over-dramatic, overdemanding Mona Kent (Roxane Carrasco). Also

performing in Hennessey’s revue is Joan (Natalie Storrs), a call-it-like-it-is dancer and singer. When young Ruby (Sarah Errington) enters the rehearsal stage straight off the bus from the Centerville, Utah, Hennessey sees no promise in the timid girl, but Joan convinces him to give her a chance.

Soon sailor pals Dick (Jeffrey Scott Parsons) and Lucky (Luke Jacobs) show up and the songs begin. The voices are strong and polished in “Wall Street,” “It’s You,” and “Choo-Choo Honeymoon.”

The show that is created within the show is full of charm, romance, gaiety and a little vaudeville-like drama. Dick likes Ruby who is crazy about him.

However, Mona, who plays up to Hennessey, never stops trying to entice Dick into her dressing room.

Ruby always catches them in an embrace never welcomed by Dick. Joan has been trying to land Lucky for some time, and with each song and dance number he gets a little

If you go ■ What: ‘Dames at Sea’ ■ When: Through Aug. 5 ■ Where: North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach ■ Tickets: $35-$52 ■ Box Office: (858) 481-1055 ■ Website: northcoastrep.org closer to making a big decision. Rowe is great as the naive middleman.

The second act takes place aboard a Navy ship at sea.

Although the Captain (also played by Rowe) has not officially given his permission for the actors to do their show shipside, they’re all aboard and waiting for the OK. Outside of the recent “Scottsboro Boys” at The Old Globe Theatre, I can’t remember seeing this caliber of tap dancers in a local production in a long time.

They are all sensational.

They also excel at singing and that rare form of parody — pulling off perfect timing in a rapid-fast plot.

Carrasco delivers the perfect Cruella-De-Ville persona. She sashays, groans, moans, whithers, slinks — whatever it takes — to entice the man-of-the-moment and has the audience in laughter with every action.

Errington is great as the timid and bewildered girl thrown into big city life.

She knows who she wants, but can she keep him?

Parsons has an amusing expression for every mood of his character. He draws laughs without speaking.

Jacobs is the perfect boynext-door who got away … or did he?

Berkley, known for his large and lavish sets, had a big influence on the “Dames at Sea” writers, and would certainly commend the North Coast Repertory design team, musicians, and director Rick Simas for pulling off a hugely entertaining, don’t-miss show in this intimate theater. Bravo!

true or false?

Sharks never sleep.

True. Sharks, like other marine animals, don’t seem to fall into a deep sleep like humans do. Sharks need to keep water moving over their gills to receive necessary oxygen.

Not all sharks need to move constantly, though. Some sharks have spiracles, a small opening behind their eyes, that force water across the shark’s gills so the shark can be still when it rests. Other sharks do need to swim constantly to keep water moving over their gills and their bodies, and have active and restful periods rather than undergoing deep sleep like we do. They seem to be “sleep swimming,” having parts of their brain less active while they remain swimming.

‘Divine Rivalry’ is a Live Here. Give Here. duel of the masters D.S. Moynihan and Michael Kramer wrote ‘Divine Rivalry’ about a historic competition between Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.

If you go ■ What: ‘Divine Rivalry’ here: 1363 Old Globe ■W Way, Balboa Park ■ When: Matinees, evenings to Aug. 5 ■ Tickets: From $29 ■ Box Office: (619) 234-5623 ■ Website: TheOldGlobe.org

Henry DiRocco

By Diana Saenger Competitions among rivals are nothing new. Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci facedoff in a painting match back in the 16th century as The Old Globe playgoers will learn at the West Coast premiere of “Divine Rivalry,”

by Michael Kramer with D. S. Moynihan, and directed

by Michael Wilson.

The play is based on a real-life event between the famous artists and Niccolò Machiavelli, the Italian

diplomat, historian and political theorist who wrote “The Prince,” and who orchestrated the competition.

But there’s more to the contest than a rivalry between the artists. As the chancellor of Florence, Machiavelli has a political agenda in mind.

Seeing how much Michelangelo’s statue of David inspires people, and worried about invasions of his precious Florence, Machiavelli hypes the competition to draw crowds in hopes they will be

compelled to protect the state.

The cast stars Miles Anderson, Euan Morton, and David Selby. The Renaissanceera costumes by David C. Woolard should be a treat.

Also intriguing will be the visual effects on a stage screen (like The David) that will set the atmosphere.

Patrons should come away from the show with a hint of the egos of Michelangelo — a very religious man, and Leonardo da Vinci — a man of reason.

Saturday conference to showcase ‘ideas’ In the spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” TEDxAmericasFinestCity, will bring together a group of speakers and performers for a conference from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, July 14 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, UCSD campus, to spark discussion and connection.

“We have spent the last eight months creating an event that highlights San Diego, the community and those who are truly

making this America’s Finest City,” said Mark Dewey, with TEDxAmericasFinestCity.

The event will include films, performances, and speakers like Larry Goldstein, Greg Koch, Melinda Richter, V.S. Ramachandran, Nicole Newnham, Michael Rosenberg, Shivani Singh, Gregg Visintainer, Marilyn McPhie, John Halcyon Styn, Nick Smith and The Calder Quartet.

Robert J. Trentacosta Judge of the Superior Court LJ1153, Jul. 12, 19, 26, Aug. 2, 2012 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. 12-0027465 Title Order No. 12-0046068 APN No. 358372-08-00 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 07/25/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by DAVID E JOHNSON, A SINGLE MAN, AND JERRY C KENLEY, A SINGLE MAN, ALL AS JOINT TENANTS, dated 07/25/2006 and recorded 8/1/2006, as Instrument No. 2006-0544609, in Book , Page 16147, of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, State of California, will sell on 07/30/2012 at 10:00AM, On the grounds of the Scottish Rite Event Center, located at 1895 Camino Del Rio South, San Diego, CA at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be:

5874 DESERT VIEW DR, LA JOLLA, CA, 920377242. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $1,111,555.35. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier’s checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. If required by the provisions of section 2923.5 of the California Civil Code, the declaration from the mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent is attached to the Notice of Trustee’s Sale duly recorded with the appropriate County Recorder’s Office.

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

law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco. com, using the file number assigned to this case 12-0027465. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

Jared Davis with some of the supplies he will bring to Kenya, Africa, for a Global Act of Kindness trip. COURTESY

Realtor needs help to bring aid to Kenya Jared Davis, a Prudential California Realty agent, hopes to raise awareness and funds for a Global Act of Kindness trip to Kenya in August. Davis will travel with a group of volunteers to conduct a three-day medical clinic, distribute water filtration devices, and provide shoes and educational supplies for orphaned children in Africa.

Davis and his team are seeking dentists, doctors, nurses, and medical technicians to join the trip and facilitate a successful operation of the clinic.

There is also a need for volunteers to help manage the flow of patients, as well other tasks.

“Promoting this trip is very important to me because if our fundraising efforts go well from now until our departure, we should be able to grant several college scholarships to some of the students,” Davis said.

Reach him through Prudential’s La Jolla office at (858) 353-7854 or e-mail jdavis5882@gmail.com Davis also volunteers with the Boys & Girls Club, American Cancer Society, Food Bank of San Diego, St. Vincent de Paul and Think Kindness.

He said he excels in his real estate career as a result of watching his mother, a real estate professional for some 20 years. He developed a talent for negotiating and marketing, as well as a capacity for assessing the

market value of specific properties.

He completed advanced real-estate courses to earn the Certified Distressed Property Expert designation

and the Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource designation. Additionally, he holds a bachelor’s degree in general studies with a minor in journalism.
