Missing tortoise returns home with no tale to tell

Historical Society renovation project is rocky at best, B1

Silver isn’t talking about his big adventure.

BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS When the Dykstra family’s desert tortoise was discovered missing from their yard on Linda Rosa Avenue June 22 after they returned from vacation, Theodore Dykstra, 12, moved at a hare’s pace to pass out fliers to help find his family’s lost pet, which is about 9-inches wide. He and a friend went door-todoor and throughout the neighborhood, but no one had

seen the tortoise, said Theodore’s mother, Michelle Dykstra. But then a surprise came on June 26. “Four days later, Silver was found sitting in the middle of the driveway,” she said. The Dykstra family owns four tortoises, and Silver is one of two California Desert Tortoises they care for, along with a pair of a larger tortoise species, the African Sulcata. According to Michelle, the

desert tortoises were found abandoned four years ago in a vacant rental house in City Heights. Someone who knew that the Dykstra’s already had two tortoises thought they might be interested in rescuing the homeless reptiles. “They brought us these two cute California Desert Tortoises,” Michelle said, adding that she

Scientist investigates mysterious annual migration of leopard shark schools to La Jolla Shores beach By Claire Discenza f you spend enough time swimming in the shallow waters off La Jolla Shores during the summer, you might at some point find yourself surrounded by a school of four-foot-long patterned sharks. Andy Nosal, Ph.D. candidate at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, has dedicated his graduate career to studying this schooling. He wants to know why the harmless leopard sharks (Triakis semifasciata) keep returning to the same spot in La Jolla year after year, and what they do when they get here. On July 9, Nosal presented his research in a talk titled, “Local Legends: the Leopard Sharks of La Jolla Shores,” as July’s installment of the Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science lecture series hosted by the Birch Aquarium. “We love leopard sharks here in La Jolla,” Nosal told his audience. “They are not only extremely important for our local marine environment, but they are also very important for our local economy.” Thousands of people visit each summer to see these sharks aggregate just south of La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. While some have hypothesized that the sharks come to the protected Shores to mate or give birth, it turns out that almost all of the schooling leopards are pregnant females — with few males or babies in sight. If these behaviors aren’t motivating the aggregation, Nosal plans to find out what is. Nosal and his research team use acoustic telemetry, or tracking via sound pulses, to follow the sharks from Tijuana through Carlsbad. The team has caught, tagged, and released more than 150 sharks along La Jolla Shores. By recording these sound pulses emitted by the tags, the team is able to determine the daily habits, as well as the longer-range migrations, of the sharks. “The most amazing thing we found, is if

you look at individual sharks, there is remarkable synchrony,” Nosal said. While there is some individual variation, the sharks tend to school together, and depart as a group once the water cools or predatory sea lions arrive. Through tracking, the team has discovered that the sharks spend the daylight hours in the warmest, shallowest waters of the surf zone. When night falls, they then travel farther out to sea where they feed in nearby squid breeding grounds. Its proximity to food makes La Jolla Shores

a prime spot for the sharks. “By coming back to the aggregation site every day, they’re in a good position to go forage as soon as the sun goes down,” Nosal said. In addition to gaining access to food, Nosal suspects that the pregnant females use the warm water along the beach to support the gestation of their young. “What we think is going on is that these females are incubating … kind of like what a mother bird does,” he said. While birds sit on their eggs to speed development of the embryos, leopard sharks might spend time

in warm waters for the same effect. Yet there are still pieces missing from the puzzle. “Where are the males?” Nosal asks. “We would think that the males would like all of these same things: nice, calm warm water in La Jolla, a lot of food, not to mention tons of females around.” While he suspects that the females are actively avoiding the males’ excessive mating attempts, Nosal doesn’t yet know where the males go while the females vacation in La Jolla. — To learn about the next lectures, visit a quarium.ucsd.edu/Education/Public_Programs

Three La Jollans earn Girl Scout Gold Awards From Girl Scout Reports La Jolla residents Brittany Comunale, Kristi Lin and Sara Phelps were among the 60 local Girl Scouts who received Gold Awards during a recent ceremony at Qualcomm Hall. The Gold Award is Girl Scouting’s highest honor, presented to just 5.4 percent of Girl Scouts nationwide. To earn it, girls spend two to three years developing and implementing community service projects that make their world a better place. The 2012 honorees worked to improve the lives of senior citizens, teenage mothers, schoolchildren, families and animals. Their impact stretched from the assisted living facilities of San Diego to the orphanages of Kenya. Comunale, a 2012 graduate of The Bishop’s School and daughter of Roderick and Mariacecilia Comunale, has been a Scout for 13 years and is a member of troop 3145, which her mom leads. She will attend Brown University in the fall. “If I’m passionate about what I set out to do, I can inspire others,” she said. Comunale drew inspiration for her project from her photojournalism experiences (as a La Jolla Light intern and creator of a port-

Through her Gold Award endeavor, “Project Perspective,” she hoped to showcase San Diego’s rich and diverse history through pictures. Her program included a brochure, photo book, DVD, two calendars and a blog (projectperspectivesd.wordpress.com). Troop 3324 members Kristi Lin and Sara Phelps are graduates of La Jolla High School and will attend the University of California, Davis this fall. Lin’s inspiration for her Gold Award project, “Nature Nurtures the Child,” stemmed from her research-supported observation that children are spending too many

hours on video games and not enough time outdoors. To help counter this trend, she developed and implemented programs that include nature activity booklets, events at parks and beaches, and booths at the Torrey Pines Elementary School Family Science Night and the San Diego Science Festival Expo Day. She also produced an educational video, “Nature Nurtures,” which can be seen on YouTube. An avid hiker, Lin said she often goes camping with her parents, Jim and Julie Lin. “I am confident that the families that came to my programs and visited my booths left with a better understanding of how important it is

for kids to connect with nature,” she said. Phelps, daughter of Jerry and Jennifer Phelps, titled her Gold Award project, “Lights! Camera! Action!” It was aimed at elementary school students whose extracurricular activities had been restricted due to budget cuts. “I was shocked to learn that Hawthorne Elementary only offered a theater program to gifted students,” Phelps said. As the president of her school’s Drama Club and a member of its Dance Club, she felt it was important to extend more fine arts opportunities to children, and decided to teach an acting class at Hawthorne. She chose the PrimeTime afterschool program as a place to start. After spending two weeks rehearsing with the students, she helped them put on a production of “Alice in Wonderland,” complete with sets and costumes. Her efforts included a manual and a blog that would help other schools replicate her efforts. Girl Scouts San Diego (sdgirlscouts.org) provides activities for 43,000 local girl and adult members, trains volunteers, and maintains three camps and four program and service facilities.

This year’s Big Read is ‘Fahrenheit 451’ More than $13,000 in grant money was donated July 10 to host The Big Read in San Diego, which invites San Diegans to join this year’s project and read “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury. The community-based reading programs include read-a-thons, lectures, movie screenings and discussions from the literature selection, and are set to begin in September and continue to June 2013. The non-profit organization Write Out Loud is hosting The Big Read locally, but 77 other non-profit organizations nationwide have also received grant money from the National Endowment For The Arts (NEA) to host The Big Read in their communities. Participating communities receive free educational materials available at www. neabigread.org Write Out Loud produces short story performances at the Old Town Theatre and special events such as Voices of Ireland, held every March at the Horton Grand Theatre; Twainfest every August at the Old Town State Park; and Orpheus Speaks! in cooperation with the Athenaeum Music and Art Library in La Jolla.

Exercise, Vitamin D & Fall Prevention Do you or a loved one have a fear of falling? New, updated guidelines from the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force indicate that supervised exercise and vitamin D supplementation may significantly decrease fallrisk for seniors. The efficacy of exercise intervention in preventing falls among seniors has long been established. But science supporting vitamin D supplementation is relatively new. The USPSTF reviewed 9 trials of vitamin D supplementation and found a 17% reduction in fall-risk during 6 to 36 months of follow up. Vitamin D and its metabolites are associated with protein synthesis and supplementation may have a beneficial effect on muscle strength & endurance – especially in older adults. In combination with supervised exercise, the effects can be even more dramatic. The physical therapists at Ability Rehab can help you get started on the exercise component of an effective fall prevention program. They will evaluate the common factors that contribute to an increased risk of falling and design a customized plan to address muscle weakness, gait disturbances, balance deficits and much more. If you think you may be at risk, call today to see how we can help. P.S. Please discuss supplementation and exercise with your doctor to determine what is appropriate for you.

By Pat Sherman The California Coastal Commission lent its unanimous — albeit reluctant — backing to a year-round rope barrier separating humans and seals at the Children’s Pool in La Jolla. At its meeting in Chula Vista council chambers on July 11, the commission voted to approve the city’s request for a coastal development permit (CDP) to install a year-round rope with fixed posts to keep humans a safe distance from seals (a minimum of 20 feet, as recommended the previous month by coastal commission staff). “It’s finally happened,” responded Ellen Shively, president of the La Jolla Friends of the Seals, which has for years championed the year-round guideline, first approved by the city council in 2010. “It seems like it’s a sure deal. It has already been vetted by the city council and now it’s been vetted by the Coastal Commission. We anxiously await processing by the city and we’re hopeful of the outcome.” However, don’t expect the process to proceed at lightning speed, or the rope to go up this summer. According to Stacey LoMedico, director of San Diego’s Park and Recreation department, the issue must go back before the San Diego Planning Commission to receive approval of a site development permit, which is tentatively scheduled for the Planning Commission’s Aug. 30 agenda. The meeting, which includes an opportunity for further public comment, will be at 9 a.m. in San Diego City Hall council chambers at 202 C St.

A sign posted near the Children’s Pool advises the public about dealing with seals. Photos by Pat Sherman John Leek, an advocate for greater beach access by humans and secretary of the San Diego Council of Divers, said he believes it could take the city six months or more to issue the permit and grapple with related issues. Leek noted six conditions the Coastal Commission said the city must meet to receive the CDP, including implementation of a program to monitor the rope’s efficacy, as well as activity by both humans and marine mammals. The commission requires that a qualified environmental resource specialist, lifeguard, park ranger or trained volunteer document the number of seals at Children’s Pool and the number people accessing the beach at least 16 days per month. The CDP has been approved for an initial three years, at the end of which time it must be reviewed. “If the city meets the requirements and does all this experimentation and produces all this data … are they guaranteed another permit in three years?” Leek questioned. “It’s not clear exactly what the point of

the research is.” Leek also said he is not sure whether city officials will be able to request amendments to the CDP during the process. Beach access proponent Ken Hunrichs, president of Friends of the Children’s Pool, said the commission’s decision was not unexpected, in that it rarely deviates from staff recommendations. “There had been some major politicking to … have the Coastal Commission hear this permit application before the city even has its own permits in place,” Hunrichs said, noting that despite the city council vote to approve the year-round rope in 2010, the Planning Commission later denied a site development permit for the all-year barrier. Hunrichs said the cost to taxpayers of having the issue heard again by city officials and decision makers — including a possible environmental impact report required for the rope by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) — would be great.

Park and Recreation Director Stacey LoMedico (center) fields questions from beach access advocates after the Coastal Commission votes to approve the city’s request for a coastal development permit for a year-round rope barrier. FROM SEALS, A6 Seal advocate and attorney Bryan Pease, who helped craft the year-round rope mandate, said he feels the commission’s monitoring provision will only benefit the seals. “They’ll see the chaotic nature of the situation, that people are getting way too close to the seals, that they’re going up and petting them,” he said. Despite approving the CDP, the commissioners conveyed little faith that the rope would solve what they view as the overarching problem — the decade-long acrimony at Children’s Pool between those who want the beach reserved for seals and those favoring greater human access to the shoreline, as there was before the seals formed a colony there in the early 1990s. “I don’t know if there’s a person on this diocese who believes that a rope is a solution to this problem,” said commissioner William Burke. “I don’t know how the city can send this forward and say this is the best we can do. … It’s like an

The seawall barrier and handrails at Children’s Pool, built in 1931 through a donation by Ellen Browning Scripps, is showing signs of extreme deterioration. California Coastal Commission members said the seawall has created an unnatural barrier that is the root of the seal controversy.

I like reality TV, so I “ enjoy watching you all fight. The seals are going to be fine. It’s the people that have the problem.

”

— William Burke

California Coastal Commissioner imaginary line. … Why not just draw a line in the sand?” During the hearing, people on both sides of the issue used video of Children’s Pool to drive home their points, capturing moments of bad behavior on both sides, including seal advocates’ use of bullhorns and intimidation to keep people away from seals, and divers and those favoring human access repeatedly breaching the current rope barrier (which is up during the seals’ pupping season, from Dec. 15 to May 15). “I like reality TV, so I enjoy watching you all fight,” Burke said. “The seals are going to be fine. It’s the people that have the problem.”

The commissioners also reserved a measure of reproach for city officials, whom they said had not conducted a proper environmental analysis of the seal colony and the seawall built by philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps in 1931, or of alternative shared-use plans. The commissioners said the wall created an unnatural environment that served as a magnet for seals and trapped levels of bacteria from seal feces that make the beach unsafe for human use. “I want to support a temporary rope to keep people away from the seals but I want to find a real solution, rather than an arbitrary one (because) some

council people sat around and didn’t do the analysis,” said Commissioner Martha McClure of Crescent City, a coastal community in Northern California. “I live in a community that has lots of seal rookeries and their activity varies throughout the year. To have a permanent rope may not be necessary throughout the year.” A compromise plan for Children’s Pool involving moveable boulders instead

of a rope garnered some interest from commissioners. The plan, presented by lifeguard union representative Ed Harris, would include dredging the sand and dumping it over the seawall or further down the beach to let the ocean waters clean it and wash it back to shore, as occurs naturally at beaches not blocked from ocean swells. Patrick Ahern, president of La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc., one of the community advisory groups favoring the

lifeguards’ compromise over the rope barrier, suggested the city give advisory groups six months to work with the lifeguards’ union, community groups and Park and Recreation to fine-tune the compromise. Commissioner Jana Zimmer called the compromise “intriguing,” and said she would like to see the city report back to the commission after evaluating the feasibility of the proposal.

City’s permit enforcement hurts two beach businesses BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS Two business owners came before the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) at its July 11 meeting to say their companies were suffering due to the recent sudden enforcement of city codes. Daniel Woods, four-year owner of Beach Shoot San Diego at 2160 Avenida de la Playa, attended the meeting with his wife and newborn infant to tell the LJSA about his wedding and adventure photography business being cut short. “According to the municipal code, it’s illegal to pay a photographer for a photo taken on the beach,” he said. “That’s unfortunate because my livelihood has come to a halt.” Woods said he has begun getting tickets from the La Jolla Shores lifeguards for violating municipal code 63.20.20 that states it is unlawful for a corporation to carry on a commercial operation on the beach. He said after four years of shooting images in the Shores area, the city is suddenly citing him. “There should be a legal way for a family to get their photograph taken on these beautiful beaches,” Woods said. In that same vein, Camille Berry stood before the board in her blue camouflage fatigues and said that she

helps her husband run a very small scuba diving business in Mission Beach called Poseidon’s Divers. The couple teaches safety education and scuba certification at La Jolla Cove and offers specialized training for disabled veterans. But now they need a permit to operate in the Cove waters. “We were alarmed by the idea of permitting because it would shut down our business,” she said. The board thanked the petitioners for their comments, but took no action on the matters presented. In other Shores news: n Quiet Fourth: Police department community relations officer Alan Alvarez reported that four officers were assigned to The Shores during the Fourth of July festivities and it was an “extremely tame” holiday, with no outstanding arrests. n Noisy ice cream trucks: Alvarez said ice cream trucks are regulated on the level of noise they produce, but there is no regulation on the number of trucks allowed in an area at a given time. “They are not allowed to block traffic, though,” he said. n Poliferation of pop-ups: Alvarez told the board that the closed tents that saturate the beaches dur-

ing holidays and summer weekends are not allowed, but “if you can see inside the tent, you’re good-to-go,” he explained, claryfying that one side of a tent must be open at all times for it to be “legal.” n Sewer pumps: Those in pump station 27 will be replaced starting on July 16, according to Erin Demorest, representative for city council member Sherri Lightner. n Kudos: The shade structure recently completed above the J.J. the gray whale statue at Kellogg Park has received positive feedback, said Mary Coakley. n Park patrol: The LJSA’s June request to the city for a ranger to work at Kellogg Park was denied due to lack of budget funds, but as a result of the query, La Jolla now has two extra police patrolling the area for the months of July and August. n New crosswalks: Resident Dan Allen requested the board add to its September agenda a request to the city for crosswalks on Princess Street and Torrey Pines Road, and another location east of Hillside Drive. LJSA does not meet in August. n Treasurer’s report: The LJSA has $782.22, but needs an additional $1,000 to pay upcoming insurance dues.

LJSA Chair Audrey Keane suggested someone be hired to put lids on the trashcans and shut down the park each night. Seagulls are pulling garbage out of the open bins and making a mess of Kellogg Park at the end of each day.

La Jolla postman to be remembered at tree planting By Pat Sherman A Palo Verde tree will be planted in memory of longtime WindanSea mail carrier Steve P. Mediano, who died at his home of a heart attack on July 6. He was 52 years old. Mediano will be remembered at the public tree planting, Friday, July 20 at 3:30 p.m. at the La Jolla Carrier Annex Post Office at 720 Silver St. The tree will be placed in the cactus garden Mediano planted there last year, for which he received a “Kudos” from the La Jolla Light. The garden replaced an overgrown patch of weeds with cacti that Mediano traveled around the region to procure. The garden was planted in memory of another former letter carrier, Dave Bolin, who died several years ago. Fellow La Jolla mail carrier Dominique Urrutia remembered Mediano, who once volunteered as a track coach at La Jolla High and The Bishop’s School, as a “very good, friendly man” who “spoke to everybody,” and always maintained a positive attitude.

Steve P. Mediano was an award-winning gardener. Courtesy Mediano is survived by his parents, who will speak during the ceremony. Tara Tarrant of La Jolla Stone Etching is donating a memorial stone on Mediano’s behalf, which will be placed in the cactus garden.

Scientists discover what happens when we sunburn tients with diseases, like psoriasis, that are treated by UV light but at an increased risk of skin cancer. The findings are reported in Nature Medicine. News release at http://bit.ly/Nk7jwb

Research Report By Lynne Friedmann The hallmark of sunburn – the reddish, painful yet protective immune response from over exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation — is a consequence of RNA damage to skin cells, reports a team of UC San Diego School of Medicine researchers and their colleagues. Using human skin cells and a mouse model, UVB radiation (wavelengths range of 315280 nanometers) was shown to fracture and tangle elements of non-coding micro-RNA – a special type of RNA inside the cell that does not directly make proteins. Irradiated cells release this altered RNA, triggering an inflammatory response by healthy, neighboring cells intended to remove sun-damaged cells. Understanding the newly discovered pathway might lead to ways of blocking the process, not only in sunburn sufferers but in pa-

Key step identified in immune system-fueled inflammation Neutrophils are the body’s first line of defense against bacterial infections. Like other immune cells, neutrophils travel throughout the body via the blood stream to sites of infection, injury, or inflammation. However, the increased blood flow that often accompanies inflammation could whisk these cells past their intended target. Researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology report the discovery of neutrophils using sling-like membrane tethers to adhere to blood vessel walls during periods of increased blood flow. By separating their cytoskeleton from the cellular membrane, neurophils wrap the sling around themselves, secure a hold, then migrate through blood vessel walls to accomplish their infection-fighting work. The study appears in the journal Nature. News release at http://bit.ly/M8wr7S Treating diabetes via the biological clock investigated UC San Diego biologists have discovered a

Irradiated cells release an altered RNA, triggering an inflammatory response by healthy, neighboring cells intended to remove sun-damaged cells. wikipedia chemical that offers a completely new direction for drug development to treat metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes. The discovery came as a surprise because the isolated chemical does not directly control glucose production in the liver. Instead, the chemical affects the activity of a key protein

that regulates the internal mechanisms of our daily night and day activities — the so-called biological clock. To maintain a steady supply of glucose in our bloodstream, hormones signal we’re in a fasting state while we sleep and stimulate the liver to produce needed glucose. While we’re active our biological clock shuts down fasting signals because glucose is derived from the food we eat. Scientists had long suspected that diabetes and obesity could be linked to problems in the biological clock. For example, altering the biological clock that controls fasting signals in lab mice often leads to obesity and diabetes. Two years ago, UCSD researchers discovered the first biochemical link between the biological clock and diabetes: a protein known as cryptochrome that regulates both the biological clock and glucose production in the liver. Now, the same team has discovered a small molecule — one that can be easily developed into a drug — that controls the timekeeping mechanisms of cryptochrome in such a manner that it can repress liver production of glucose. The finding is published in the journal Science. News release at http://bit.ly/P2UQ1c — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

The event is set for 6-9 p.m. Saturday, July 21 to amp up the energy throughout the Village with 15 music groups performing jazz, blues, pop, classical music, alternative, and a whole lot of rock ‘n’ roll. The Haute La Jolla Nights series kicked off June 9 with much acclaim by participating businesses and patrons. By all standards, the first event was a huge success. From the quantity and quality of music, to the creativity of participating merchants and the lively art gallery receptions, the event was bigger and more exciting than anyone could have expected for a firsttime event. “We have a challenge to make the event

Breast cancer survivors thrive at SK Sanctuary events By Marti Gacioch Many women use spa services to gain the powerful benefits of relaxation and healing that such a visit can bring. And perhaps no woman can benefit more from such pampering than a breast cancer survivor. With that thought in mind, La Jolla plastic surgeon, Dr. Stephen M. Krant, M.D., F.A.C. and his wife, Lyn Krant, owners of La Jolla’s SK Sanctuary, open their

7,000 square foot spa every other month to 35 breast cancer survivors for a complimentary evening of spa services. “Lyn and I started these survivor nights in 2001 with 13 of my breast cancer reconstructive patients,” Dr. Krant said. “I had always wanted to do a support group for my patients, so once we opened SK

Entry forms will be accepted at the nine advertised locations. To increase their chances of winning, guests may enter once at each locale. But not all the fun will be on the street. At the last event, merchants pulled out all the stops to create shopping experiences their customers would not soon forget. Adelaide’s put on quite a show with demonstrations that

Financial woes could doom ‘City’ of La Jolla In January and February of this year, I exchanged letters with Cindy Greatrex, president of Independent La Jolla and now the La Jolla Town Council, regarding the secession issue. She said that the Independent La Jolla (ILJ) website “…is most assuredly up-to-date.” However, when I, and several others, recently tried to retrieve information, all we got were blank pages or error messages. The reason I mention this is that Donna C. Aprea, ILJ Secretary, wants to keep their secession hopes “in the news.” I do not believe that emotional arguments, like the ones in her letter of February 12, 2012, will hold water compared to actual financial data. According to Ms. Greatrex, the 2005 Initial Fiscal Analysis is being updated; however, it is not available on the ILJ website, or in the public library. As I have stated earlier, I believe that the expense portion of the 2005 budget model grossly underestimates costs, especially regarding public works. I have also stated that it doesn’t make any sense to me to become an independent city if that city goes bankrupt in short order. Ms. Aprea states that “ … roadways are a mess and the crime rate is increasing.” The 2005 budget model has a total of approximately $2.4 million for street and road maintenance. Given the rising costs of materials and labor, this amount will not be sufficient to fix and maintain roadways in a community that is approximately 15 square miles in area! Additionally, according to police officers making presentations to the Bird Rock Community Council and the Neighborhood Watch, the majority of residential burglaries were facilitated because residents left doors and/ or windows unlocked. If the “city” of La Jolla goes bankrupt because of insufficient revenues and much higher costs, where will Ms. Aprea place the blame then? I suggest that instead of donating funds to ILJ, interested residents donate to help save the post office building, or to the rec center. These are both entities which need additional funds. Let’s get the realistic financial data that we need to make informed decisions regarding secession, and leave the hollow emotional arguments out of it. Dale S. Duffala, CHMM Bird Rock

Ridiculous to think of increasing speed limits Regarding the July 12 article, “Committee opposes speed increase on Nautilus Street,” the

emember back in kindergarten when some class clown ran across the room with scissors, tripped and cut his hand open, and then everybody had to put their heads down on their desks until the teacher was done lecturing on the evils of running with sharp objects in hand, and then nobody could run with scissors anymore, anywhere? Well, that’s a lot like why we

OUR VIEW must now have a year-round seal rope barrier at the La Jolla Children’s Pool. Some fools ruined it for everybody. We’re talking about the ignorant and mean-spirited visitors we’ve seen (and photographers have videotaped) throwing rocks at the seals, letting their dogs run the

Our Readers Write Kafkaesque logic of increasing speed limits to eliminate speeding is clear, but completely flawed. To preserve La Jolla’s value as a humanfriendly seaside village, we must adamantly oppose the never-ending attempts of city engineers to increase the number of vehicles going through La Jolla. Thank you, traffic board member Cindy Thorsen for articulating the need for patience on La Jolla roads. And thank you La Jolla Light for your editorial on July 12, “Our View,” that “we all need to slow down.” This is a price worth paying for being a village instead of a strip mall thruway. John A. Berol La Jolla

La Jolla roads are too dangerous for bicycles I take exception to the pro-bicycling perspective expressed in “Braking for Bicyclists.” Bicycles can go safely on the bicycle lanes, bike paths, and off-road areas that are designed for them. Cars can only go on roads. No other choices exist. La Jolla doesn’t have bike lanes because there’s no room on La Jolla’s hilly, winding, narrow roads for them. Summer traffic and road construction add to the congestion. To expect drivers to stay three feet away from bicycles is simply not doable in the limited space there already is for cars. Unlike bicycles, cars have nowhere else to go. The fact that bicyclists use their own energy to propel themselves does not subjugate others to yield to them on public roads. Their smug self-righteousness does not entitle them to suppress the rights of others to come and go in their cars. La Jolla’s streets in summer are too dangerous for bicycles. Bicyclists’ choice to use La Jolla’s congested roadways leaves their judgment suspect. Sharing the road is practical in places where there’s space to do so. That place is not in La Jolla. Bicyclers can choose where they want to practice their self-powered mode of locomotion, but they should know that drivers have no such discretion. Wise bicyclists would be well advised to share the roads with the cars. Lorraine Yapps-Cohen La Jolla

Surf pop-up businesses are worrisome Has anyone mentioned or complained about the

Dog ban is barking up the wrong tree I am writing in response to Frieda Levinsky’s July 5 letter regarding dogs not being allowed in shops, restaurants. Is she for real? Is she actually comparing dog owners to drug addicts and drunk drivers? She states that the town is a war zone because people bring their dogs out on the streets of La Jolla with them. She should visit Afghanistan so she can really see a war zone. Obviously, she is not aware of the benefits dogs and cats offer to people. It is proven that pet owners lead longer, happier lives. Animals have positive effects on most people. That is why they are brought into such organizations as Rady Children’s Hospital, La Jolla Nursing Home, and The Cloisters, just to name a few. These facilities welcome animals because they know how good animals make their patients feel. Frieda needs to get an understanding that most people have a pet. She does not own the streets of La Jolla, and most shops are dogfriendly for a reason. Maybe she should move! Cindy Bynum La Jolla

Dogs are good for most everyone Poor Frieda Levinsky is worried about germs from dogs in shops and restaurants. I can assure her that dogs rarely if ever transmit illnesses to humans, however, infants and children frequently do when they are sick, so I advise her not to enter shops or restaurants with them as they may be coughing, sneezing, vomiting or having diarrhea that she may catch. In Europe, dogs are welcome in all these places and I don’t believe Europeans are getting sick more than we are here in La Jolla. In fact, they are probably healthier! Having a pet, like a dog, actually makes a person more active, improves longevity and increases happiness and well-being. I strongly advise Ms. Levinsky to get a dog or other pet of her choice, and cheer up and enjoy her life. Jack Resnick, happy owner of two dogs La Jolla

FROM SEAL ROPE, A18 people while on land and will rush into the water if approached too closely or disturbed (aka flushing). If disturbed too often, they’ve been known to abandon favorite haul-out sites or their pups.” For these reasons, animal activists have been trying to get a barrier established on the beach to protect the seals from humans who get too close because there is no barrier and they don’t know any better. What a photo op! Toddler Tommy Tourist petting a newborn baby seal in La Jolla, California. Cute. Until somebody gets hurt. Consider this quote in the Los Angeles Times from Manhattan Beach animal control officer Art Yaskin: “Part of our job is to protect the people, too. No matter how cuddly the seals may look, when they bite it does hurt and there is a big chance of infection. They have microorganisms on their skin that can enter our bodies.” Proponents of the year-round seal rope launch their tirades by reminding the opposition that

seals are wild creatures in their natural habitat that can’t “speak” for themselves. It’s up to enlightened, compassionate humans to defend the pinnipeds’ place in the sun. And by the way, the seals are good for tourism. Opponents of the year-round seal rope advocate for beach access for all. No rules. No ropes. Let it be. Let it be. In fact, if you really want to please Mother Nature, the Children’s Pool should go back in time to 1931 when it was simply Casa Beach with no artificial seawall erected to create the seductive seal spot in the first place. It is definitely a hot, hometown hullabaloo that has been stirring long before the San Diego City Council approved the year-round rope in 2010. Truth be told, after all is said and done, officials who are charged with protecting the public good realize that the rope will serve as a needed reminder — just like our kindergarten teachers who issued that timeless adage: Don’t run with scissors.

Jack’s La Jolla bookkeeper to stand trail for grand theft By City News Service A former bookkeeper accused of stealing more than $5 million from her employer and others — including $1.9 million from her motherin-law — must stand trial on grand theft, embezzlement and other charges, a judge ruled July 16. Tara Virginia Moore, 40, faces charges for allegedly stealing from her former employer, Jack’s La Jolla, a now-closed high-end restaurant, and cleaning out her mother-in-law’s retirement nest egg. Moore’s alleged $3 million fraud against Jack’s came to light when the restaurant’s owner, Bill Berkley, hired a forensic accountant to examine the eatery’s financial records dating back to 2003, according to prosecutor Bill Mitchell. Moore worked for the Girard Avenue restaurant for about four years, beginning in 2005. The business closed in August 2009 and more than 100 employees lost their jobs, Mitchell said. Defense attorney Paul Pfingst maintains that Moore was actually loaning some of her own money to help keep Jack’s afloat. He said

there was a signed agreement between Berkley and Moore in which Berkley acknowledged that money paid to Moore in partial repayment of her loans was authorized. If convicted in that case, she could face up to 20 years in prison. Moore, who is out of custody on bail, faces 12 years behind bars if found guilty of charges in the case involving her mother-in-law, Mitchell. The mother of two also is under investigation for allegedly illegally collecting spousal support after her third husband died, Mitchell said. Pfingst said the loans from Moore’s mother-in-law were taken out with Moore’s husband and were

approved and being paid back. After a weeklong preliminary hearing, Judge Jeffrey Fraser ruled that enough evidence was presented for Moore to stand trial. The judge noted Moore is accused of victimizing five victims by five different methods of theft, in what he called a ``complex, criminal enterprise.’’ Fraser did not raise bail as Mitchell asked, but ordered Moore not to leave San Diego County. The judge said he might order the defendant to wear an electronic ankle bracelet. Moore will be back in court Aug. 6 for arraignment.

Peter (Vif) peacefully passed away in the Zuerich University Hospital in Switzerland on June 28, 2012, with his wife, Miriam, by his side. He fought courageously for his life until his demise. Peter was born and educated in Switzerland and in 1964 he graduated from the Swiss Federal lnstitute of Science and Technology in Zuerich with a Masters

Degree in Architecture and Engineering. He immigrated to the United States in 1968 and worked first in Micronesia before settling in Honolulu, HI. During this time he met his New Zealand wife, Miriam. Peter is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Miriam; half-sister, Verena of Switzerland; half-brother, Martin of Canada; brother-in-law, Colin and his wife, Helen; nephews, Gregory, Russell and Murray; nieces, Shona and Lisa of New Zealand; and godsons, Frederick of Brazil and Reto of Switzerland.

Daniel Orr 1933 – 2012

Daniel Orr, retired UCSD Professor of Economics, passed away at his home in Frankfort, Michigan, on June 6, 2012. Born in New York on May 13, 1933, Dan spent his early childhood in New York, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Graduating from Oberlin College in 1954, he pursued his studies in Economics at Princeton University, receiving a PHD in 1957. His teaching career began at Amherst College and moved to the University of Chicago Business School, during which time his children Rebecca and Matthew were born.

Professionally, Dan is most famous for a model named after him, “Miller and Orr Model”, which deals with finance and monetary economics. In 1966 Dan moved to the newest campus of the University of California at San Diego to start building an economics department. It was here where daughter Sara was born. Dan became Chair in 1969 and played a major role in the department’s steady growth in size and reputation. Moving to Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg, Virginia, in 1978, Dan assumed the Headship, where he successfully assembled a top-rated economics faculty. His final academic position as head of the Economics Department at the University of Illinois led him to retirement age and a move to Frankfort, Michigan, where living adjacent to Crystal Downs Golf Club gave him full rein to pursue his love of golf. A loving father and husband, he maintained

his love of reading and listening to music. A colleague describes him as “...a Renaissance Man for modern times,” a fitting image for one who contributed so much to scholarship in his professional life as well as to the needs and development of both his immediate and extended family, colleagues and friends.

Analysis by Phil Dailey he Summer Olympics is a mustsee event for most Americans. Even for those who are casual sports fans, the Summer Games offer an exciting spectacle of reality TV played out on the world stage. For those who are able to see the events in person, the excitement is even greater, but for most of us, our Olympic experience will be from the comfort of our own home. The Olympics have become a worldwide event and the Opening Ceremony alone is expected to been seen on TV by more than 4 billion people. This year’s Games will take place in London, of course — the third time the British capital has hosted with 1908 and 1948 being the other two times. The United States actually was in the running to secure a record fifth bid for the Summer Games this year, but New York City came in fourth during the evaluation of applicant cities way back in 2005. Paris, Madrid and Moscow were also considered for selection to host the 2012 Games. Starting on Friday, July 27, it’s all eyes on the United Kingdom and the world’s 22nd most populated city as London hosts the 30th installment of the Summer Olympics.

Then and now The Games as we know them are relatively new, as the first modern Olympics took place in 1896 in Athens. That year there were only 14 nations that participated in the games and there were only 43 events in nine sports. The U.S. sent 14 participants to the Games and brought home 20 medals.

By comparison, the 2012 Games will have 302 events in 26 sports and roughly 10,500 athletes will compete — 530 of whom will be from the U.S. There are 201 nations who have qualified an athlete in at least one event.

they have the answer. According to the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, which released a study Monday, they believe the United States will once more win the most medals with 103, followed closely by China with 94. One nation that should get a boost this year is Britain, as the study suggest that the host country can earn an extra 15 medals for its “home turf” advantage.

How will the Americans do? For the U.S., this will be the 29th appearance at the Olympic Games as it did not participate in the 1980 Moscow Games. During the past 100-plus years, the U.S. has won more medals than any other nation. In the 2008 Beijing Games, the U.S. won 110 medals, which was 10 more than China, though China won more gold medals overall. In the 2004 Athens Games, the U.S. won 101 medals, while Russia was second with 93. America has won the medal count in each of the last four Olympics. It was during the 1992 Barcelona Games that the U.S. finished second behind the Unified Team (consisting of ex-USSR countries) by four total medals. As for which nation will be the overall winner of the London Games, a few prognosticators from Dartmouth think

Who is America’s next star? Every four years there are different American Olympic athletes who become household names. Most everyone knows who Michael Phelps is thanks in large part to his eight gold medals in Beijing, and the same can be said about past Olympians such as Mary Lou Retton, Mark Spitz, Bruce Jenner and Carl Lewis. So who will be this year’s new household name? Here are a few Americans who could be on the next box of Wheaties: n Jordyn Wieber (DeWitt, Mich), women’s gymnastics. Wieber was the best gymnast in the world in 2011. n Ryan Lochte (Port Orange, Fla.), men’s swimming. Move over Michael Phelps, Lochte will bring home the most gold this year.

Shetland All-stars head to PONY World Series By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball a Jolla Youth Baseball has a very bright future. Of the 11 teams that entered the PONY tournament, six advanced to Regionals and only one team survived: Shetland Red. That’s right — we are betting the farm on a dozen 6-year old kids. This afternoon they play their first game in PONY World Series pool play against the host team West Covina Blue. They advanced through the Regional tournament by beating Ramona, 16-6, dropping their next game to finalist Mira Mesa, and 18-8, winning a nailbiter against San Marcos Blue, 25-22, before being eliminated by Chula Vista South Navy,18-3. This makes two consecutive years that LJYB’s Shetland division sent a team to the World Series. Good luck boys! The Pinto-7 team was happy to make it into the Regionals and they won their first game 14-3 against San Marcos. Then they hit the buzz-saw against eventual champions La Costa Green (10-2), La Costa Blue (10-9) and Fallbrook (12-2). Coach Michael Solis had this team very well prepared and these kids will be tough as nails next year. The Pinto Red team — aka the “Red Stripers” — also ran into some solid competition from North County. They dropped the Regional opener 7-5 against La Costa Gold, then came back with a vengeance to dominate La Costa Green 16-0, be-

Not pictured: Landyn McKeown fore being knocked out of the tournament by La Costa Blue, 10-0. That’s too much La Costa as far as Coach Duffy is concerned. The Bronco Red team, who enjoyed tremendous success last year by advancing to the Zone tournament, battled through the Regionals at Tecolote with two complete games by Carson Greene. Unfortunately, the offense wasn’t timely and they lost a tough one to San Marcos, 5-3. The boys bounced back and shutout Carlsbad, 5-0. The were knocked out 5-1 by a very good Tecolote team who got through the losers’ bracket to the championship game. Kenny Hayden finished the game with 3

solid innings of scoreless pitching. Coach Hammel was proud of how well the team played throughout the tournament. The Pony-13 team had a good news/bad news tournament. The good news: they advanced into Regionals through a fortunate run differential. The bad news: their first two opponents made it to the finals and Coach Mariucci’s team became a notch on the belt for champions Lakeside (7-2) and runner-up Vista (7-5). It should be noted that La Jolla played these two teams much closer than the blow outs they inflicted against other opponents. Playing in their last games representing LJYB, the Pony-14 team ran into some tough

luck. After several years of significant postseason success, the perfect storm forced them to forfeit their opening game against Chula Vista South. Playing with a 9-person roster due to a couple of unexpected dropouts, La Jolla was down 8-5 in the middle of a rally when Carter Chopskie injured his foot sliding into a base. After being carried off the field, the umpire declared the game a forfeit with La Jolla only having eight players available. In their next game against Vista, they faced a pitcher who threw a no-hitter, which is an incredible feat at this level. The team was gracious in defeat and they finished up their PONY careers with class, as one would expect with Coach Agbulos at the helm.

The next Olympics are in â&#x20AC;Ś The Winter Olympics are set for Sochi, Russia in 2014 while the next Summer Games will take place in Rio de Janeiro for 2016. The 2018 Winter Games will be in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The site for the 2020 Summer Games has not been selected just yet, however, Madrid, Toyko and Istanbul are the three finalists. The winner will be announced for on Sept. 7, 2013. Toyko is thought to be the front-runner. When will the Olympics be back on American soil? After Chicago lost out to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Games, it has been speculated that the U.S. Olympic Committee has turned its focus to the 2024 Summer Olympics or the 2026 Winter Olympics. By then it will have

been at least 22 years since the U.S. hosted an Olympics (Salt Lake City, 2002). Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia and San Francisco are front-runners for the American bid for the 2024 Summer Games, while Denver, Reno, Nev., and Salt Lake City have expressed interest in bidding for the 2026 Winter Games. Former Triton to compete Former UC San Diego track standout Christine Merrill will represent Sri Lanka in the 2012 Olympic Games in London later this summer. Merrill, a native of Bakersfield and an eight-time All-American during her fouryear career with the Tritons, will compete in the 400-meter hurdles Friday, Aug. 3 at Olympic Stadium in London. Merrill, an American whose mother Neloufa is from Sri Lanka, represented the island nation at both the Asian Athletics Championships and the IAAF World Championships last summer. One of the most successful athletes in program history, Merrill set school records in both the 400 hurdles (58.04) and 400-meter dash (54.76) as a senior at UCSD in 2010. Merrill graduated from UCSD in 2010 with a degree in mechanical engineering.

Court Historical Society rocks out with cobblestone restoration projects La Jolla Historical Society is embarking on a three-phased project to maintain local buildings and gardens. By Carol Olten ne of the most significant building phenomena in La Jolla of the early 1900s was the construction of hundreds of linear feet of cobblestone walls in the heart of the Village. Mainly, they surrounded and wove serpentine-like through the oceanfront estate owned by Ellen Browning Scripps. (True to form, the wealthiest lady in La Jolla, whose interests were in nature and simplicity, defined her house and gardens with the most unassuming of natural materials — rocks!) Today, the cobblestone walls remain an important feature of the area familiarly referenced as the Scripps/ Gill cultural complex — Gill referring to architect Irving Gill who designed Scripps’

home (present site of the Museum of Contemporary Art) and surrounding buildings including the La Jolla Recreation Center and La Jolla Woman’s Club.

But after more than 100 years, the walls have reached a point of severe decay. Rocks — ever the rolling stones! — have fallen out of them as mortar

disintegrates. Uneven patches appear as owners have attempted poorly researched repairs.

Las Patronas Jewel Ball hopes to raise $1 million for charity By Linda Hutchison When in Italy, do as the Italians do, enjoy a passeggiata. No, it’s not a new pasta or panini, but a centuries-old tradition: the evening stroll.

The theme of the evening stroll, the tradition of communities and families coming together was selected by Elaine Murphy, the 2012 Jewel Ball chair. It reflects her own Italian heritage, love of travel, history, and old movies, but also the mid-century, post-World War II exuberance in music and culture. “The name passeggiata

sounds like a dance,” Murphy said, “but we wanted to make it as authentic as possible.” In Italy, the passeggiata begins after the day’s work is finished, and for the 50 members of Las Patronas, the Jewel Ball takes place after a year of planning and hard work. The first Jewel Ball was held in 1947 to raise money for the China Relief Fund. It attracted 200 guests, and raised $1,357. At that time, La Patronas included 14 members who contributed

In addition to preparing for the ball, the members of Las Patronas work (as volunteers, there is no paid staff) all year to raise money and award grants to worthy non-profit organizations throughout San Diego County. The group also relies on the expertise of up to 300 past advisory members. “It’s been 66 years of work,” said Murphy. “We try to stay relevant, visit all beneficiaries. Not all are big, many are on shoestring budgets and we can make a difference. Once they receive a grant, it makes it easier for them to receive future ones.” This year’s major beneficiaries include Alpha Project for the Homeless, American Red Cross, Greater San Diego After-School All-Stars, La Jolla Historical Society, Reuben

H. Fleet Science Center, San Diego Hospice, Senior Community Centers, and the Zoological Society of San Diego. In addition, 14 groups were selected as minor beneficiaries. In recent years, modern technology has invaded the passeggiata, as younger Italians use Facebook and Twitter to plan ahead. Likewise, Las Patronas plans to carry on its tradition, but benefit from social networking. “Our goal is to raise the most money we can using all types of media,” said Albanez. “We want to forge new partnerships with corporate sponsors, expand on existing relationships, work more closely with beneficiaries, get the word out across the county. We are steeped in tradition, and we acknowledge and appreciate that, but we’re also looking to the future to reach out to all of San Diego.”

FROM COBBLESTONES, B3 Craftsman, or bungalow, style of architecture popular in Southern California at the time. Finally, rocks were essentially free — anyone could gather them at the beaches! (Miss Scripps, however, was known to belabor the cost of construction and gathering them. She noted in her diary in April 1908: “Men want two more loads of stone. None to be got. Divided cost of stone work, Jenny — half-sister Virginia Scripps who owned Wisteria Cottage — paying me her share $188.80.”) At that time, Virginia needed a lot of rocks. Not only was she building garden walls around Wisteria, but architect Gill had designed an addition to her cottage with cobblestones as the major material. The cobblestone walls, according to architectural historian Diane Kane, “show up in his remodel drawings of the cottage dated December 1907.” Today, the cobblestone walls at the back of Wisteria form a fortress of rocks and FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 many was blocked to benefit the few. Also, it would be great to reduce the vegetation along Torrey Pines that blocks Cove views. I understand that there is a plan to do so, which is great. The last thing would be to see a restoration of the historic buildings across from Scripps Park, that are now being allowed to be demolished by neglect. What are your favorite places to go in La Jolla? Almost every day I walk my dog, often along the nature trail paralleling Prospect Street, down to watch the sea lions. My husband and I love the quality and accessibility of the Museum of Contemporary Art, the La Jolla Playhouse, and the Birch Aquarium, as well as walking to the many excellent restaurants that La Jolla has to offer. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, who (living or deceased) would you invite? John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt for creating National Parks, America’s best idea; Amory Lovins for articulating why it is economically smart, as well as the right thing to do, to

Where do cobblestone come from? Formed from a glacial legacy of millions of years ago, cobblestones are formed from boulders washed to smoothness through eons of being tossed along mountain streams and rivers. Landing on the beach, they eventually become smaller pebbles and, finally, sand. The cobbles in the La Jolla walls date to the Eocene, about 15 million years ago, said Edward Winterer, geologist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. They are composed of extremely hard minerals, such as quartz and feldspar, meaning they are virtually rocks of ages. Today’s primary challenge is finding the right mortar and craftsmanship to hold them together — rocks, no roll. — Carol Olten mortar supporting the rear of the house while also enclosing the first floor or “basement.” As an architectural detail, they also tie the building to its Southern California Craftsman roots and the practice of cobble building in the San Gabriel foothills and the Arroyo Seco, Kane pointed out. “We can appreciate the horizontal set of the cobbles and the way they are set in recessed mortar,” Grunow said. “All of this must be considered in undertaking the restoration and getting to the finished product.” The tradition of cobble building in the greater San

Diego area dates to 1850 when rocks were gathered to build the first prison in Old Town. Unfortunately, they were set without mortar and the first prisoner escaped immediately. The tradition of cobblestone building in the United States itself, dates from 1825 to 1865 and the building of the Erie Canal when British stonemasons introduced the form. Ninety percent of the cobblestone buildings in America are found within a 75-mile radius of Rochester, N.Y. Many have been preserved through the efforts of the Cobblestone Society and Museum in upstate New York.

When we came back the first time, I told a friend how moving it was — not just the animals, but also the people. He conjectured that we must be hard-wired, since Africa is the cradle of modern man.

What are your favorite movies of all time? I must admit that I may never tire of seeing “Gone with the Wind.” It does seem the classics are generally better than recent Hollywood films. “The African Queen” is one of my favorites. Of course, I adored “Out of Africa,” too. “Gandhi,” with a perfect performance by Ben Kingsley, tells the story of one of the men that I most respect. “Amadeus” was so much fun, and yet so tragic. What is your mostprized possession? My most-prized possession is time spent with our sons, their two wives, and our four beautiful grandchildren. What is your philosophy of life? Personally, I feel an obligation to try to leave this beautiful Earth a better place, and I hope everyone shares this goal.

UCSD alumni tackle gritty, swinging tale of ‘Zoot Suit Riots’ By Pat Sherman Two UC San Diego theater graduates return to town this month for San Diego Repertory Theatre’s revival of “Zoot Suit,” the fictionalized retelling of the social injustice that led to 1943’s explosive “Zoot Suit Riots.” “I really feel that this is the Chicano play, the Latino play,” said director Kirsten Brandt, former director of San Diego’s Sledgehammer Theatre, who currently teaches at UC Santa Cruz. The play is based on the Sleepy Lagoon murder trial and the ensuing riots, which erupted in Los Angeles when military servicemen attacked Mexican-American youths, inciting similar attacks across the country. While conducting research for the play, Brandt said she was shocked to learn how egregious the historical events were. “Some of the stuff in the play that I thought was an exaggeration is actually tempered,” said Brandt, who studied at UCSD with Jorge Huerta, considered the leading authority on contemporary Chicano theatre. “The misconduct that happened during the trials is even worse than I could have imagined.”

If you go ■ What: San Diego Repertory Theatre presents ‘Zoot Suit’ (by Luis Valdez) ■ When: 7 p.m. Tuesdays-Wednesdays; 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays, to Aug. 12 ■W here: Lyceum Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, downtown San Diego ■ Tickets: $32-$57 ■B ox Office: (619) 544-1000 ■ Website: sdrep.org Fueled in part by the murder and in part by media hysteria over pachucos — a subculture of Latino youth that dressed in elaborate “zoot suits” — the Los Angeles police rounded up 600 Latinos on suspicion of various crimes, with 175 eventually being held in custody. The murder was never solved. Brandt said non-Latinos on the West Coast were apprehensive about the sartorial statement made by Mexican-American youth during the 1940s. “The zoot suit itself was considered a little ostentatious

because of the amount of material you need to make a suit,” she said. “We were at a time of war and rationing, just coming out of the Depression. Here’s this rebellious nature in the form of this beautiful armor that these young men were wearing.” While penning the script, which debuted in 1979 as Broadway’s first Chicano play, playwright Luis Valdez pored over hundreds of pages of transcripts from the trial. “The guys on trail were not allowed to change their clothes, they were not allowed to get haircuts,” Brandt said. “They were being shown … before the jury as these dirty, messy young men — very threatening. The defense attorney cited over 100 moments of misconduct from the bench when it came to taking away civil liberties from the kids.” Some of the young men were found guilty of firstand second-degree murder and sent to San Quentin State Prison. It took a year for their appeal and release. As racial tensions simmer on stage, equally hot music and choreography by Javier Velasco move “Zoot Suit” along. The score, composed by

JoAnne Glover, Lakin Valdez, Maya Malan-Gonzalez and Raul Cardona in San Diego Rep’s ‘Zoot Suit.’ Daren Scott

Daniel Valdez and Lalo Guerrero (considered the “father of Chicano music”), is performed live by a jazz band from San Diego’s School of Creative and Performing Arts, blending Latin jazz and big band-era standards. “There’s a story happening in every dance number and everything is socially relevant to the piece,” Brandt said. Point Loma High School graduate Raul Cardona, who appeared in San Diego Rep’s 1997 production of “Zoot Suit,” returns to tackle the lead role of El Pachuco, donning a flashy long coat, baggy pants, long chain,

thick-soled shoes, pork pie hat and feather. “There are so many aspects of this play that are incredibly important — just from the (historical) standpoint of trying to change the way law was practiced in America,” said Cardona, who after leaving San Diego went on to work with El Teatro Campesino, a Latino theater company based in the historic Mission San Juan Bautista. “It’s an exploration of how we in society have gotten into the practice of ostracizing, of scapegoating.” Cardona recalled seeing photographs of his grand-

father donning the dress of the Pachuco, around the time he came to the United States as part of the Bracero Program, which allowed for the temporary importation of Mexican farm laborers. Though Cardona’s grandfather came to see him perform in several productions before his death, Cardona never knew that he was also once involved in theater, producing nighttime pastorelas, or Christian morality plays, in his Mexican cornfield. “I wish I could have gone to him and had him as a resource, because that would have been incredible,” Cardona said.

ntegrative Medicine Man, bushy-bearded best-selling author and rock star of healthy lifestyles, Dr. Andrew Weil collaborated with innovative eatery empire Fox Restaurant Concepts to create True Food Kitchen in San Diego.

cucumbers, and Ruby Red Breakfast radishes and Heirloom tomatoes. Andy’s Arsenal According to Dr. Weil, his trio of mandatory mighty foods includes olive oil, broccoli and dark chocolate. Olive oil, a heart-healthy, diabetic-friendly fat is just as divine drizzled on salads as in baked treats like aromatic Almond Olive Oil Cake with marinated blackberries and Greek yoghurt. Broccoli is the bomb keeping brain cells on their toes, vision sharp, blood pressure at bay, dialing-up the immune system and bone health, warding off cancers, and giving the old jaw a good workout, whether munched raw in assorted starters or sautéed in a medley of entrees. Heart and brain-healthy, antioxidant “food of the gods,” chocolate, makes us all a little happy and amorous, too. What’s more, it comes in gluten-free versions including highoctane 72-percent cocoa Flourless Chocolate Cake.

Accusations, feuds fuel the history in ‘Divine Rivalry’ If you go ■ What: ‘Divine Rivalry’ ■ Where: 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park ■ When: Matinees, evenings to Aug. 5

Let’s Review

By diana Saenger

■ Tickets: From $29

istory buffs and art devotees will enjoy a trip back in time to learn about a curious competition between artists Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci that really took place centuries ago. The Old Globe Theatre’s West Coast premiere of “Divine Rivalry” tells the story with intrigue, surprise and a delightful reminder of the treasure these two geniuses gave the world. Italian diplomat Niccolò Machiavelli (Sean Lyons) is perplexed. He’s looking into the future and fearing his beloved Florence may face horrific danger from warring countries. As Michelangelo’s new statue of David is put into place, crowds fill the

■ Box Office: (619) 234-5623 ■ Website: TheOldGlobe.org streets shouting praise. Head of State Piero Soderini (David Selby) is also in flux, walking a slippery political tightrope. He’s about to relieve Niccolò for an error with a prior assignment, but then the young counselor Niccolò hears the roar from the streets below and comes up with a new plan. He will bring people to Florence thereby hailing its significance in the art world. Niccolò’s first visit is to da Vinci who is working on a plan for human flight. He

reveals his idea to the artist who is astute in understanding Niccolò’s personal agenda. The men work each other to get what they want. Even though da Vinci is aghast (he will have to share a room painting with his biggest competitor), he’s thrilled to have bargained for four times what Michelangelo will earn. Paying his next visit to Michelangelo (Euan Morton), Niccolò makes another halftruth deal. Lyons and Morton are wonderful in their roles, especially during the meanspirited critiques of each other’s work: Michelangelo gives his review of the flaking of da Vinci’s “Last Supper,” and in turn, da Vinci shows his rival his own sketch of the David, and how he would correct the “obvious flaws.” Lyons, too, makes easy work of his conniving character, who is also wellspoken and engaging. Selby becomes Soderini in every mood and uncertainty. The Globe design team (Jeff Cowie, Robert Wierzel,

Visuals of both artists appear throughout the play above the scenes to further art education. The characters don’t reveal the actual famous works, but hint, at their them. “Why is she smiling?” Michelangelo asks. “The ambiguity is its beauty,” Leonardo replies.

To place your ad call 800.914.6434 www.lajollalight.com 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.
