Stingray Alert
Biz roundup: What’s in? What’s out? A9
Swimmers warned to watch their steps By Pat Sherman s coastal waters warm and the tide recedes, the flattened bodies of stingrays lie stealthily on the sandy shoreline, waiting for a small crustacean or fish to snack upon. Instead, what they often encounter is a human foot. Invariably, the summer influx of beachgoers means a spike in stingray injuries, which, though not fatal, are extremely painful and could lead to infection if not treated properly. On Sunday, San Diego lifeguards reported 39 stings off San Diego’s coastline, including five at Black’s Beach and 12 at La Jolla Shores. “La Jolla Shores is a classic place for them (to gather),” said Nigella Hillgarth, executive director of the Birch Aquarium at Scripps. “In recent years we’ve seen an increase there. It’s a fairly sheltered, sandy beach. The gradual, sandy slope (provides) a nice place where
A La Jolla Pop Warner gears up for start of season, A18
By Pat Sherman San Diego Congressman and mayoral candidate Bob Filner (D-51st) introduced legislation on Thursday, June 29 that would allow the La Jolla Historical Society the right of first refusal to purchase the La Jolla post office building at 1140 Wall St. Since January, when USPS announced its intent to sell the Wall Street building and relocate postal services elsewhere in the Village, a group of community activists, historians, architects and preservationists known as the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force has been working to save the post office. Strategies include finding a Bob Filner sympathetic buyer, such as the historical society, to purchase the building and keep postal operations there. The new owner might then lease unused portions of the building to nonprofit community groups or a compatible business to help pay the mortgage. The task force has approached legislators such as Filner and fellow Congress members Susan Davis (D-53rd) and Brian Bilbray (R-50th) to have language inserted into the 21st Century Postal Service Act of 2012 (S.B.1789) that would

Volunteers tackle Children’s Pool clean up, B12
By Shelli DeRobertis Free summer concerts begin Sunday, July 15 in Scripps Park at La Jolla Cove, and the show will go on thanks to help from the neighborhood Vons, which has agreed to wash the dirty hotdog pots after each concert. This year marks the 29th season that the group, Concerts By The Sea, has presented summer entertainment, which also includes concession stands selling hotdogs, chips, ice cream, popcorn and sodas. The proceeds from the sale of some 500 hotdogs per concert are used, in part, to fund the shows. But this year, during a pre-concert inspection for the annual permit, county health officer Laura Costello found that the single compartment sink used to wash the pots — and the temperature of the hot water — were out of compliance. The organizers were operating under the wrong type of permit all those years

Coastkeeper names two new chiefs San Diego Coastkeeper’s board of directors announced new leadership spearheaded by Megan Baehrens as executive director and Jill Witkowski as waterkeeper, a common structure in the global Waterkeeper Alliance. Founded in 1995, SDC protects and restores fishable, swimmable and drinkable waters in Megan San Diego County. Baehrens Baehrens will direct administrative, fundraising and managerial aspects and Witkowski will provide policy, legal and program direction. Both assume their roles following the Jill departure of former Witkowski director Gale Filter, who resigned in June, citing personal reasons. “We thank Gale for his strategic leadership and contributions to Coastkeeper and wish him well in the future,” said David Welborn, board president. “Our board and staff are committed to executing the strategic plan that is now in place. We know that Jill and Megan’s passion and leadership will inspire our staff and volunteers to continue their important service to our community.” Baehrens, previously development director, joined Coastkeeper in April 2009, and Witkowski, previously legal clinic director, joined the organization in January 2010.

The “Rips, Rocks and Reefs – 3R’s” program is led by the San Diego Council of Divers as an opportunity for participants to learn how to identify reefs and underwater rocks by observing surf and water movement. Paticipants will also be briefed on how to recognize safe places to enter and exit the water, how to avoid hazardous areas, what to do when encountering long shore and rip currents, and how to use tides to plan dives. The workshops will also cover surf, swell, and how to take advantage of the ocean’s natural wave motion.
Swimming experience is recommended, and all attendees must sign a liability waiver as part of registration. Participants younger than age 17 must have a parent or guardian sign the waiver.

Draper Avenue home riddled by shotgun fire A La Jolla resident awoke Thursday, June 28 to find two windows of the home he rents on Draper Avenue looking like “Swiss Cheese,” with shards of glass scattered on the floor. San Diego Police officers responded to the incident shortly after 9 a.m. June 28, retrieving five shotgun pellets from the home and a plastic casing from the front sidewalk. Though the gauge of the shot was not readily identified, San Diego Police Lt. Andra Brown said the perpetrator likely fired birdshot, or BBs, given the flatness of the pellets retrieved. The discharge entered two windows in a guest bedroom at a front corner of the home, and also pierced some plants and a rain gutter. The plastic casing, which holds the pellets, was found about 18 feet from the windows. Brown said the casing can travel as far as two yards after being discharged with the shot. “It wasn’t fired very far from that location (the sidewalk) — maybe from across the street,” Brown said.
Though there are no suspects, a detective from San Diego Police’s Northern Division has been assigned to the case. Martin Morwski, the renter who discovered the damage, said he awoke at about 7 a.m. to find the bedroom he has previously rented shot up with holes as large as a half dollar in size. “Nobody was there when it happened, luckily,” said Morwski, noting that the incident may actually have occurred a day earlier. “I have come to learn from a neighbor just today that it was actually like that the day before,” he said. “I didn’t notice it, because I hadn’t been into that room the previous night.” Morwski said there have previously only been reports of “mild vandalism” in the neighborhood and some activity by “rambunctious” and “unsupervised” teenagers. “I don’t really have any enemies or anybody who would have cause to do that,” he said. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to phone SDPD’s Northern Division at (858) 552-1700 or San Diego County Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

Back Pain Options Did you know that approximately 80% of people over the age of 30 will experience back pain at some point in their lives? Of those individuals, almost 1 in 3 will have recurring problems. At Ability Rehab, we specialize in treating back pain. If you have tried other remedies but have not yet relieved the pain, give physical therapy a try. The most common causes of back pain are improper lifting mechanics or lifting objects that are too heavy. Other possible culprits include poor posture, exercising improperly, driving for long periods of time, sleeping on a mattress that does not give proper support, being in poor physical condition and being overweight. Only a very small percentage of back pain is caused by actual damage to the spine. The good news is that physical therapy and exercise have been proven effective in the treatment and prevention of back pain. The physical therapists at Ability Rehab utilize the highest level of skill and technology available to eliminate back pain, prevent injury, increase function and improve posture. Our Healthy Back Program achieves superior outcomes for all spine conditions including neck pain, low back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, and more. P.S.

By Pat Sherman During the June 25 meeting of La Jolla Parks and Beach, Inc. (LJP&B), the committee considered a compromise to the city’s proposed year-round rope separating humans and seals at Children’s Pool. Though Coastal Commission staff has recommended approving the city’s request for a coastal development permit to maintain a year-round rope barrier at Children’s Pool, the commissioners must still rule on the issue during their July 11 hearing at Chula Vista City Hall. The compromise, proposed by San Diego Lifeguard Sgt. Ed Harris, in his capacity as a representative for the Teamsters 911 lifeguards’ union, suggests replacing the easily breeched rope with moveable boulders. The city currently installs a rope barrier at Children’s Pool during the seals’ pupping season, from Dec. 15 through May 15. The compromise calls for replacing the 4-foot high, 152-foot long rope barrier with boulders, which would close off 75 percent of the beach for seals during pupping season, and 25 percent of the beach during summer, when the marine mammals are not as plentiful. Harris, who has witnessed the evolution of the seal issue during his more than two decades as a lifeguard at Children’s Pool, said a better compromise favoring shared beach use by humans and seals is needed to ease the polarization and tension that has developed in recent years. “We are opposed to the year-round rope because it’s not going to solve the problem,” Harris said. “It’s going to perpetuate the problem — but we believe in a compromise. … We respect the seals and think they should have a place to pup and do everything else.” Though he said people on both sides of the issue are responsible for the ensuing controversy, Harris said seal advocates’ use of bullhorns to assure people don’t stray too close to beach-napping seals is problematic. “We’re killing our own tourism and nobody has a right to do that,” he said. “We’ve allowed both parties to self-police and be their own enforcement — and that’s where society breaks down. … You’ve got to lob off the extremes on both sides.” However, Harris said seal advocates are correct that Children’s Pool beach is currently too contaminated for human use, likening it to a dirty litter box.

■C ontact: coastal.ca.gov or (415) 407-3211 (line active July 11 only) “The pollution issue is unbelievable,” he said, noting that the breakwater wall is an unnatural barrier that traps sand and bacteria. “If you walk onto that beach you cannot step one foot without stepping in (seal) poop. … The litter box is full down there. It has to change.” The lifeguards’ compromise suggests using city bulldozers to scoop sand off the beach after pupping season and deposit it on the other side of the wall, or further down the coast, where waves will carry it back to sea and cleanse it. “Cleanup does not require expensive dredging and hauling,” Harris wrote in his plan, a copy of which he also sent to the San Diego City Council for its consideration. “The south swell will clean the sand and replace it.” The current shared use policy at Children’s Pool, as well as the lifeguard union’s proposal, calls for some year-round access for swimmers and divers. “Access means the water has to be clean,” Harris said. “Access means that you can’t be harassed on the beach. “ In the end, Parks and Beaches voted to lend its support to the compromise, 13-1-1. Harris, who will present the plan to the Coastal Commission July 11, will request that the commission allow six months for La Jolla stakeholder groups to weigh in on it. The La Jolla Community Planning Association is scheduled to hear the compromise at its next meeting. “Time has passed, and with time some of the passions are wearing down,” Harris said. “I think people who wouldn’t have compromised before are now willing to compromise.” In other parks, beaches news n WindanSea Work: La Jolla landscape architect Jim Neri received LJP&B approval to

Committee postpones decision on lighting for Mount Soledad
Kristine Entwistle (center) and Nicole Sloane of the Challenged Athletes Foundation present plans for their organization’s 19th annual Triathlon Challenge, Oct. 21 in La Jolla. Pat Sherman From PARKS, A6 proceed with the design of repairs to an s-curve at WindanSea Beach. The work will be funded by roughly $55,000 from the Friends of WindanSea, and is being facilitated through LJP&B’s nonprofit status. Previous work at the beach included renovations to benches, the parking lot and beach steps. “We’ve done a lot, but we haven’t done it all,” Neri said, noting remaining repairs needed for a stretch of sidewalk between Playa del Norte and Playa del Sur, which include replacing rusty chain-link fencing and old wood posts, as well as buttressing the sidewalk
where the bluff is eroding. If approved by the city, the work should start sometime around Labor Day, Neri said. n Cove stench: In response to LJP&B’s request to cleanse foulsmelling bird droppings on rocks at La Jolla Cove, Park and Recreation district manager Dan Daneri said the city had not changed its mind about denying approval of the work — which city staff say poses risks to the ocean environment. Melinda Merryweather said leaving bird excrement on the rocks carries its own set of health risks to the public. “We found out that the bird poop does have E. coli (bacteria)
in it, and when the big waves come up it washes into the ocean,” she said. “It makes a slick and it gets in your eyes, ears and mouth, so it is dangerous.” n Triathlon challenge: LJP&B also lent approval to the Challenged Athletes Foundation’s 19th annual San Diego Triathlon Challenge, scheduled for Oct. 21 in La Jolla. The event, which would require the closure of Coast Boulevard and take up a portion of Ellen Browning Scripps Park, offers athletic competition for people with physical challenges such as spinal cord injuries.

By Pat Sherman Though La Jolla Parks and Beaches was scheduled to vote June 25 on an easement that would allow the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association to provide electricity to light its memorial plaques, walkway and the flag atop Mount Soledad, the issue was tabled until the group’s July meeting, following heated discussion on the issue. Several committee members present spoke against granting the easement, arguing that lighting the memorial was unnecessary for safety reasons and would be disruptive to stargazers and local residents. LJP&B Chairman Patrick Ahern offered an overview of the proposal, which was first presented to the group last month. Unless a flag is lit at night, it must be raised at dawn and lowered at sunset, he noted. Secretary Anne Podney made an initial motion to deny approval of the lighting easement, which was seconded by LJP&B member Sally Miller. “We are flooded with lights everywhere,” Miller said. “It is so hard to find a place to look at the beautiful stars, the moon and shooting stars.” “It is not just about La Jolla, this is a citywide attraction,” added LJP&B member Fran Zimmerman, who also took issue with the potential use of sound systems. “Generations
of people have come up to Soledad to look at the night sky. I hope we don’t let that get eclipsed by requests for sound systems and electricity on the top of the hill.” Several people suggested alternatives to lighting the flag, including LJP&B member Melinda Merryweather, who said the flag could be lowered and raised each day via a computer system, and a visitor who said it could be lit with the use of a solar panel. Another person in attendance suggested that there are enough daylight hours for visitors to safely view the memorial. “Many months of the year that park is lit till about 8:30 p.m., so you’re only talking about an hour and a half of darkness,” she said. Others said some residents of the adjacent Windemere development were not happy with the project, and planned to attend the next LJP&B meeting to voice their opposition. Noting that the memorial association will test-light the flag in the near future to assess its impact and obtain residents’ feedback, Chairman Ahern suggested the issue be tabled until the July meeting. “In order to maintain our credibility we need to make well-reasoned … fully informed decisions,” Ahern said.

From Post Office, A1 grant the historical society the right of first refusal to purchase the building. Sponsored by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), S.B. 1789 seeks to restructure the postal service and protect it from bankruptcy. It passed the Senate April 25 and is awaiting a vote in the House. According to govtrack.us, which tracks the status of federal legislation, Filner’s standalone legislation, H.R. 6049, has a much narrower chance of being enacted than S.B. 1789 — about 1 percent. “We are grateful for Filner’s bold action, but continue to believe that the bipartisan effort being led by Susan Davis has a better chance of successful inclusion,” said post office task force chair Leslie Davis (no relation to Congresswoman Davis), via e-mail. Leslie Davis said the congresswoman’s chief of staff, Lisa Sherman, is working to draft the task force’s requested amendments for inclusion into the Postal Service Act. “These amendments may help other communities in similar situations with a similar desire to save their historic post offices and services,” Davis said. “(Lisa Sherman) has spoken with all of our (Washington, D.C.-based) representatives in a bipartisan effort on our behalf. We believe this approach has a higher chance
to wait until the building’s actually on the market.”
n For updates on the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force’s campaign, visit savelajollapostoffice.org of succeeding as an amendment to the bill.” However, speaking with the La Jolla Light, Filner said he believes his legislation will further propel the issue into the public arena. He said the language of his bill also could be inserted into the Postal Reform Act as the required amendment. “I want people to know there’s public support for this,” Filner said. “When I talk to the post office I want them to know there’s legislation that will add some pressure.” In the meantime, Leslie Davis said the task force continues to advocate for its first option (Plan A), to keep La Jolla’s postal services where they are, as they are. Task force members recently toured the Wall Street facility with its new acting postmaster, Harry Ringgold, to better assess its layout and condition. Ringgold told the Light he is not sure whether the Wall Street Post
Office’s revenue exceeds its costs, though he said it is doing better than a post office in the La Jolla Village Square shopping mall. Though that location offers the same services as Wall Street, it doesn’t have nearly the same exposure, he said. “I feel that we’re doing quite well as far as our revenue stream and our business here (on Wall Street),” Ringgold said. “I certainly believe that we would want to stay within this Wall Street area. We have good foot traffic here.” Postal service representative Diana Alvarado said USPS has not decided whether it will sell the Wall Street building, though several interested buyers (including the La Jolla Music Society and La Jolla Historical Society) have approached USPS as potential buyers. “We get a lot of phone calls,” Alvarado said. “I don’t go that far into detail. I just tell them we have

Historic covenants buy time Leslie Davis said USPS Federal Preservation Officer, Dallan Wordekemper, recently sent the task force a letter initiating Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), which requires federal agencies such as USPS to consider the effect of their actions on historic properties, and offer the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation a reasonable timeframe in which to comment. Though Davis said Wordekemper agreed that La Jolla’s post office was worthy of inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, he did not believe selling the building would result in “adverse effects” to La Jolla’s postal service. “We respectfully disagree,” Davis said. “Having postal services in the same location, in the same building, for 80 years has established community connections and built cultural fabric that would be disrupted, resulting in removal of critical cultural ties. Economic and cultural ties would (also) be irretrievably lost.” According to the NHPA website, the definition of “adverse effect” includes “transfer, lease, or sale of a property out of federal ownership or control without adequate protections.”
However, it also states, “If a property is transferred, leased or sold out of federal ownership with proper preservation restrictions, then it will not be considered an adverse effect as in the past regulations.” USPS’s historic preservation review of the property, which is required under Section 106, has begun, and will take a minimum of 90 days to complete. USPS cannot complete the sale of the property while it is in progress, though it could technically put the building up for sale, Davis said. As part of the Section 106 process, USPS is required by law to work with a State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) representative to determine what covenants are required on the deed to the building “so the buyer understands what it is they can and cannot do to that building,” Alvarado said. “It’s not fair that you wouldn’t let a buyer know upfront,” she said. “They need to make a determination (as to) what can be done on the inside, what can’t be done. … You can’t tear the building down.” “California is a little bit more on the stringent side,” Alvarado said of SHPO, noting that one of its representatives recently disagreed with USPS’s determination that selling Menlo Park’s post office also would not create adverse effects.

El Pescador plans move to former Marrakesh spot By Shelli DeRobertis The empty salmon-colored building at 634 Pearl St. that used to house the Moroccan restaurant Marrakesh, is set to undergo renovation through next year when El Pescador Fish Market plans to move in. Marrakesh closed its doors on May 30 after 22 years in La Jolla, and the 3,000 square-foot business with its own parking lot is an upgrade for the small fish market that has served residents for nearly three decades at 627 Pearl St. “This place is too small right now,” said Taylor Treadwell, assistant manager of El Pescador. But that’s all changing as the seafood café inside the fish market will add more seating, including an outdoor patio, and will also begin serving beer and wine at its much larger dwelling. El Pescador Fish Market plans to put in new appliances and expand its menu, as well. Treadwell said the market and café will remain open for business at its current spot while construction is taking place at the new location across the street. n An old sign will come down soon at another empty building — Go of La Jolla — that used to sell clothing and footwear in the out-
door strip mall at 7931 Girard Ave. Kate Spade New York recently filed a request with the city to remodel that storefront, according to Carol Olten of the La Jolla Historical Society. “They have to send us a request to permit to remodel,” she said because the historical society works to
paninis and soup. “There’s a lot of people who want to get a quick lunch,” said manager Sean Crilly, adding the deli frequently runs out of the fresh soups at lunchtime. The market includes a bar where people can sit and enjoy coffee or a pastry, but the demand for lunchtime food is prompting them to consider a grand opening with an expanded menu with salads and quick to-go items. Crilly said one of the pasta specialties is beer-and-pretzel pasta that is homemade from a flour made with crispy pretzels. The meat specialty is Porchetta, a fatty, savory boneless pork roast that originated in Ariccia, Italy. Owners Robert Pascucci and Stephanie Savchuck share a common passion for Italian food.

Spotlight on Local Businesses Looking for fashion-forward styles? Shop at Kerut Lauren Turek named her La Jolla clothing store Kerut, which is her surname spelled backwards.
By Marti Gacioch hroughout successful careers in politics and investment banking, Lauren Turek maintained a passion for fashion, knowing one day she would open her own dream boutique. Two years ago, her dream took shape on Girard as Kerut (her surname spelled backwards). Styled as a beach-bungalow, Kerut sits open to an ocean view. Inside, food and wine await shoppers. “People want an experience when they shop because going to a department store is a very sanitized experience,” Turek said. “I’ve lived in fashion meccas like New York and Aspen and know people here have an interest in fashion, and I want to put it right at their doorstep.” Turek’s core customers (ages 35-65) seek fashionforward but casual apparel to fit their busy lifestyles, and Turek must travel frequently to find specialty items with that focus. “I study fashion every day of my life, all day, every day,” Turek said, “and travel is a constant inspiration for fashion whether in the U.S., India, Africa, the West Indies or Colorado.” Western Mexican rancher belts that take a month to design are just one of Turek’s recent discoveries. “These are the most exquisite belts that you wouldn’t find in a showroom,” Turek said.

Always on the hunt for unique pieces, Turek finds that fashion materials often take unlikely forms. West African bracelets made from recycled flip flops are now a hot item at Kerut.“We sell them five for $20 and people can mix them with their diamonds, watches and engagement rings,” Turek said. Denim is a top seller at Kerut, and denim items come in dazzling colors and prints, including everything from a neon leopard print to a tropical beach scene titled “Day in Paradise.” Top designer denim labels include Current/Elliott, Gold Sign and Mother. Fashion T-shirts remain in high demand, including Current/Elliott’s relaxed “Boyfriend” tee and Monrow’s v-neck, double tissue layered top in shades of lilac, aqua, gray, bright yellow and coral.

World peace through naan? La Jolla’s Afghan-American pizzaman may have the recipe! Sam Qadiri holds a ‘loaf’ of naan, the most widely consumed bread in Afghanistan, a leavened flatbread.
In 1987, with his father in the military and Afghanistan at war with Russia, the Qadiri family moved to Pakistan. Two years later, they arrived in the United States as refugees, sponsored by his grandmother, who had moved to San Diego. By then, his father had died. It was not an easy time, remembers Sam. “We had $10 when we landed.” After adjusting to a different culture in Pakistan, the family had to readjust in California. But before long, teen-aged Sam was cooking again. When one of his uncles ordered pizza (which he’d never seen before) for a family picnic and Sam saw it disappear in two seconds, he was hooked. He walked over to a nearby Vons and examined the frozen pizzas. “I can make that,” he told his brother, buying the ingredients. He came home, rolled out the dough, put his sister to work grating the cheese, and added the special sauce. The family loved it and soon he was adding new dishes. “Lasagna was next,” he said. Sam finished high school, attended college, worked various jobs, including
Linda Hutchison
McDonalds and his uncle’s car dealership, married, and now has two sons and a daughter. “But my dream was to own my own business,” he said. When he had the opportunity to take over Pizza Pronto, he took it, and was soon expanding and experimenting with the menu. He added new pizzas, pastas, salads, Persian chicken kabobs, Afghan beef kabobs and rice. Sam is proud that his hard work has paid off and that he can send money back to help relatives in Afghanistan. “It’s like a dream come true,” he added. He is also proud of the freshness and quality of his food. “We don’t have a freezer or a fryer,” he said. “We make our pasta fresh daily, from scratch.” And he doesn’t plan to stop mixing cuisines any time soon. “I’m always inventing new dishes, adding an American twist to foreign foods.” He gets his ideas from visiting restaurants, Greek and Indian recently, and watching the food channel. For more information, visit la-jolla-pizza.com or call (858) 459-9000.
Are you facing a new illness or health challenge? By Linda Hutchison here does one cuisine end and another begin? It may seem a long way from the rice and naan and kabobs of Afghanistan to the ItalianAmerican pizza of La Jolla, but to Samay “Sam” Qadiri, there’s no distance at all, just a short leap of the imagination. As the owner of Pizza Pronto on Fay Avenue, Sam is both a product of the American melting pot and a cutting-edge creator of our constantly evolving fusion cuisine. Afghan-Italian anyone? How about California-Afghan-Persian? And a little Greek or Indian thrown in for good measure?
W
Judging by his many loyal and enthusiastic customers, and the success of Pizza Pronto since Sam took it over a few years ago, it seems that his unique blending of culinary tastes are a hit with local food lovers. Sam’s love for cooking began when he was age 6, living in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. When his older sister married, he began helping his mother in the kitchen.

Summer Safety
Some words to the wise: caution, common sense
T
Our View
his week brought several warnings from public officials intent on alerting the fair citizens of San Diego about the looming dangers of summer in our paradise by the sea: Watch out for sharks, stingrays, snakes, sunburns and thieves. As if to drive home the cautions, two La Jolla Light staffers suffered ray stings this week (that’s reporter Pat Sherman’s foot you see soaking in the hot water provided by lifeguards at Black’s Beach on the front page). “Oh yeah, it hurts,” Sherman reported. “Worse than a bee sting; and you bleed a lot.” And Monday’s sighting of a great white shark off La Jolla Shores (described by one lifeguard who watched it swim by as 14-feet-long and about 2,000 pounds) beached swimmers, divers and kayakers for the day. “Remember,” one marine biologist said on a nextmorning newscast, “You enter the ocean at your own risk. Though hungry sharks are hunting down seals and seal lions, they’ve been known to take a practice bite out of a surfer or swimmer.” Coming home from vacation to a house that’s been burglarized is no fun either. Sure, residential burglaries are reported throughout the year, but police say they spike in the summer when it becomes obvious to a crook that a family is away on holiday. The webpage women.webmd.com/home-health-and-safety-9/protecting-your-home-from-break-ins is filled with sound suggestions for foiling thieves. Protecting your skin from the ultraviolet rays of the sun is yet another concern this time of year. Log on to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) webpage at www.cdc.gov/cancer/skin/basic_info /prevention.htm for lots of sun information and advice. Finally, California Fish & Game has information on rattlesnake bites at www.dfg.ca.gov/news/issues/snake. html It’s worth a look-see to ensure you or your children don’t end up in the hospital after a walk through the woods or canyons.

Thanks to all who help maintain the floral planters in the Village Just in time for summer, friends of the community have helped transform the streetlight poles into beautiful hanging gardens! A number of volunteers are offering enthusiastic support and assistance to make the planters a roaring success. In addition to shopping at nurseries and selecting and delivering dozens of flats of beautiful flowers, Bridget Oleata has generously carved out days on the weekend to plant pots and do hand watering with her husband Mike. Marjorie McNair and her design student grand daughter Dominique filled some planters working on the ground. Nurseryman Russ Ramsey provided inspiration, information and support. Matt Fink at Casablanca Nursery planted six pots and delivered them to La Jolla. Linda Shaw bought materials and planted two pots at her home; Henry Hernandez and Guillermo Bermudez delivered them. All the planters will be mounted onto streetlight poles to beautify the La Jolla Village. Egon Kafka La Jolla
Dogs don’t belong in shops, restaurants At an establishment in La Jolla that sees many customers, a person noted that some of them bring dogs into businesses. The dogs have germs and frighten all those who want nothing to do with these creatures —“friendly or unfriendly.” Furthermore, these dog owners have no shame indeed because their dogs poop on sidewalks, urinate on trees, bark, and injure people who are totally unfamiliar with any and all dogs, and who must submit to the cruel, crude and rude behavior of dog-friendly people in stores or even restaurants! What is next on the streets of San Diego? Drivers who are drunk or on addictive drugs or some such? The town seems to be a war zone of the most loathsome people who disregard those who live with dignity and respect for others, and who also live in San Diego. Frieda L. Levinsky La Jolla

Shoppers asked to help Vons fill food bank’s shelves in the summer Vons supermarkets will help the Food Bank feed families in need with its “School’s Out, Hunger’s Not” summer food drive, running through July 29 at all 57 San Diego County Vons locations. Customers can purchase pre-filled bags for $5, which include the Food Bank’s most needed food items: canned meats, canned fruits and vegetables, peanut butter, cereal, oatmeal and rice. After purchasing the $5 pre-filled food bags, customers can place the bags in the Food Bank’s red food drive barrels at the front of the store. Every summer, the Food Bank experiences a dramatic increase in demand with more than 230,000 low-income school children who no longer receiving free school meals in San Diego County, according to its reports. At the same time, food drive donations to the Food Bank drop dramatically, but demand for food assistance soars as unemployed and low-income parents are forced to turn to the food bank for help feeding their children.

From Concerts, A1 The new permit requires a larger sink and hotter water — at least 100 degrees for hand washing and 120 degrees for pot washing. The water used by Concerts by The Sea tested at 59 degrees. Steve Spence, of the county Department of Environmental Health said suitable alternatives were offered, which included utilizing a nearby permitted food facility’s ware-washing equipment to cleanse the dishes. Concerts By The Sea explored that option, and the La Jolla Vons agreed to help out. The Vons on Girard is about a mile from the venue, and someone from the organization will transport the tongs and three large pots to be washed to the grocery store after each concert. “We try to do what we can to be part of the community,” said store manager Jim Luft. The Jamba Juice inside the Vons has a three-compartment sink for washing, rinsing and sanitizing, which is a requirement for any restaurant, he said. Marilyn Kowal, a member of Concerts By The Sea, oversees the food concessions and recently was shown how to use the sink. The health department, which ultimately processed the Concerts By
Volunteers serve about 500 hot dogs per concert at the La Jolla Cove in the summer. FILE The Sea application, also requires the organization complete written procedures that outline the preparation and service operations. “We are working with the sponsor, and proposed solutions will allow the event to proceed as planned,” Spence said. Laura DeBell, board secretary of Concerts By The Sea, said the solution is temporary and the group will likely be faced with the same issues next year.
From Stingray, A1 they can just settle down and wait for something to eat.” The stingray, a cartilaginous fish related to sharks, has one or more barbed stingers on the base of its tail. Though stingrays do not actively attack humans, they will sting if stepped on or brushed up against. The combination of warmer water and a low tide produces more food for the stingrays, drawing them closer to shore, said San Diego lifeguard Lt. Andy Lerum. “They’re bottom feeders, so they come in looking for little crabs and dead things floating around,” he said. “When the surf is down, they’re able to get in the shallower waters where they go feed.” The notion of a stingray “attack” is a misnomer, Lerum said. “When they get brushed up against or stepped on, they think we’re trying to do something to them, so their defensive action is to sting, just like a bee would,” he said.
Stingray barbs at the base of the tail may break off and lodge in a person’s flesh, though they rarely do, Hillgarth said. “It’s a pretty good defense mechanism,” she said. “You’ve got a needle that you can aim at whatever is trying to attack you — it’s flexible. People often get stung on top of the foot or the ankle.” As a precaution, Hillgarth suggests that those who are stung seek medical attention. If stung and a lifeguard is present, he or she can assist, helping reduce the pain and prevent stingray toxins from spreading up the leg with hot water. “We assess the situation, whether or not a stingee is having any anaphylactic shock or breathing problems associated with a stingray sting,” Lerum said. “We automatically alert paramedics when we see anybody having any of those symptoms. “The best treatment for a
stingray is to immerse your foot in extremely hot water — not to the point where it’s going to burn you — but to the point where the heat eliminates the proteins that are in the venom from doing more damage,” he said. “If you don’t put your foot in hot water, the pain will grow.” The stingray shuffle Lifeguards say the best way to prevent a sting is to shuffle your feet as you walk through the water, or toss small beach stones into the water ahead of you. “Just like pounding your feet on a trail in the woods to shoo away snakes, you want to disrupt the sand as you’re walking,” Lerum said. “That will give them a heads-up that you’re in the area and they’ll swim away.” Hillgrath said kayakers are often stung as they disembark. She suggests a careful landing, and checking the water around you before getting out of the kayak.

Proposed power plant near UTC raises residents’ ire By Pat Sherman A proposal by a Canadian power company to build a gas-powered generating station just east of I-805 between Miramar Road and Nobel Drive has angered nearby residents and business owners who don’t want it in their community. “I don’t know how the city even got this far to even consider this,” said Elisa Parker, a resident of UTC’s Renaissance community, speaking to representatives from Capital Power Corporation during an emergency meeting June 25 at UTC Mall’s Forum Hall. The meeting was called to address residents’ concerns about the project, which has expanded in scope since the city accepted the company’s request for proposal (RFP) in 2010. “Are you aware that a Navy jet crashed into a house a few years ago (in this area)?” Parker asked. “Jets fly over here all the time, offcourse. There’s no guarantee they’re not going to fly over your plant and crash.” Parker said she also is concerned about the effect the plant could have on real estate values. “If anyone wants to sell their house, this has to be disclosed, and that will bring our property values down,” she said. The city issued a Request for Proposal two years ago, looking for power companies interested in adding to San Diego’s energy supply. For Capital Power, the 50-acre site just west of MCAS Miramar was prime, with existing infrastructure to support its operations, including a highpressure natural gas line to tap into and the North City Water Reclamation Plant, which would provide low-cost water for its cooling systems. District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner noted that earlier in the day Capital Power asked that the issue not proceed to the November ballot, as previously scheduled, and that it be withdrawn from consideration by the city council’s Rules Committee on June 27. Because the power plant would be located on Pueblo lands, voters will have the final say as to whether a sale or long-term lease will be approved. “Rather than have this matter proceed to a city-wide vote in November 2012, our preference would be to begin the public engagement process now, in collaboration with the city, with a view to bringing this item forward in a future election once sufficient engagement has take place,” wrote Capital Power’s business development director, Patricio Fuenzalida, in a June 25 letter to

Russ Gibbon, head of business development for mayor’s office, characterized Capital Power Corporation as ‘pretty tough negotiators. We were haggling over details of indemnification and those sorts of things right up until a week ago,’ he said. Mayor Jerry Sanders. Fuenzalida and other representatives from Capital Power were on hand during the meeting to offer information about the project and answer questions. “We did our homework and identified a need for additional (power) capacity in the 2018 range,” Fuenzalida told those in attendance. “If the economy recovers, there’s going to be an increase in the demand for power generation.” Addressing the more than 200 people assembled for the meeting that was organized by the University Community Planning Group, Lightner noted her opposition to the project at its proposed location. “While I appreciate Capital Power’s willingness to be here and begin a real conversation with the community, it is the wrong site for so many different reasons,” she said. “The location is just 2,000 feet away from a dense residential neighborhood, as well as such important community assets as the Nobel Rec Center and library. Congregation Beth Israel is just a half a mile away and University City High School is three quarters of a mile away. Marine Corps Air
City Council President Tony Young, who chairs the city council’s Rules Committee, said he was asked by the mayor to put the power plant on the committee’s June 27 agenda.

University Community Planning Group Chair Janay Kruger said that when Capital Power first came before her group, the project was “much smaller” in scope. “We’ve received hundreds of e-mails and phone calls outraged over the secrecy of this … and over the size and location of this,” she said. Russ Gibbon, head of business development for mayor’s office, said the project was kept under wraps to avoid compromising the negotiating process between the city and Capital Power. “They were selected primarily

because they provided a larger project with more public benefits in terms of the tax revenue, more jobs, more potential beneficial reuse of reclaimed water,” Gibbon said, noting that the negotiations had been finalized only a week prior. “For all of you who were wondering, well, why is this being done in secret? It’s common practice for all government agencies and all corporations I know of to negotiate with confidentiality so that neither side loses its leverage with respect to the other party,” he said. Gibbon said required environmental studies, financing, zoning amendments and approval from the California Public Utilities Commission and other regulatory bodies could not proceed until voters approved the project. The company would then have 10 years to secure all other required approval, permits and financing, he said. “There will be many public hearings and workshops at the energy commission, the Public Utilities Commission, city council and planning commission before the first shovel hits the dirt,” Gibbon said. Should the company decide to leave San Diego at some point, he
said, they would be required to post a bond giving the city money to demolish the plant. “It’s not like it would be one of those situations like in Carlsbad or Chula Vista where the company kind of walks away and just leaves the facility sitting there collecting dust,” Gibbon said. Addressing the crowd, Solana Beach Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts, who is running for a seat on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, said the University Community Planning Group should ask the city council why it would consider such a project in 2012, deeming it 1970s technology. “The County of San Diego is looking at a new initiative to set up an alternative utility company, so that we never have to build natural gas plants like this,” Roberts said. “We don’t need to put projects like this in our neighborhoods destroying our quality of life and our home values.” Fuenzalida said the plant would be “one of the cleanest sources of conventional energy generation in the world,” operating about 50 percent of the year, “when the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing. It’s not our intention to displace renewables,” he said.

Arrival in St. Croix and first impressions Natural La Jolla By Kelly Stewart
I
t is really good to be back in the islands. Flying into St. Croix last week, my heart rate slowed as I looked forward to our busy summer fieldwork. Looking down from the plane, I could see bright red tree canopies dotting the countryside, interspersed with windmills. These bright patches are Flamboyant trees. They have widespread umbrella-like branches displaying gorgeous red blooms, and are featured in many Caribbean paintings and drawings. The Royal Poinciana or Flamboyant (Delonix regia) is native to Madagascar but it is the official flower of Puerto Rico and planted throughout the Caribbean as an ornamental. The seed pods are long and woody brown, often staying on the tree long after the leaves have dropped in the winter. You may see a few of these trees around Southern California in the right micro-climate. There are many celebrations in St. Croix at this time of year. Apart from the Fourth of July fireworks planned for Frederiksted (as these Virgin Islands are the U.S .ones), July 3 is Emancipation Day. On that day in 1848, local sugar plantation slaves demanded and were granted their freedom by Danish governorgeneral Peter von Scholten. Local parties and parades commemorate this historical day in St. Croix, and families spend the day at the beach.

LJYB teams advance to PONY Regional Tournament

By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball a Jolla Youth Baseball sent 11 teams to compete in the PONY South Section All-Star Tournament with the last few games being decided this week. Six teams from LJYB have already advanced to the PONY Southwest Region Tournament that starts for most divisions on July 7. Having this many teams advance is a significant accomplishment and it represents the high quality of play, teamwork, and coaching that makes LJYB a strong league. Congratulations to the teams that represented the league but did not advance in the double-elimination brackets. They should be proud of their effort, especially because they practiced two-to-three times per week and played numerous scrimmage games during the past six weeks in preparation of the tournament. LJYB hosted both Pony tournaments and both La Jolla teams advanced so there is something to be said about home field advantage.

www.lajollalight.com From LJYB, A18 two outs and two strikes, Max Scott hit a grounder to second base that slipped through the defenders legs to score two runs. Kevin Boermeester followed with a 3-run bomb to put La Jolla ahead 5-1. Both teams played again on Monday in the championship game and La Jolla prevailed 5-2 on excellent pitching from Reed Meyer and Kevin Boermeester. The Pony-13 team dropped their first game 5-2 to Chula Vista South, who went on to win the tournament. Nick Barber pitched four strong innings and turned it over with a 2-2 tie when Chula Vista put together some timely hits to push ahead. In the losers’ bracket, a powerful Vista team hammered La Jolla, 141, on its way to the championship game. The Pony-13s still advance to the Regional tourney due to run differentials over the other teams in their bracket. The Bronco-12s lost their first game, 12-2 ,against an impressive Ramona team. In the losers’ bracket, they beat North City Blue 6-3 — setting up a win-or-go-home game against rival North City Red. La Jolla was down 4-1 in the top of the 6th inning and scored two runs. Carson Greene tied the game in the 7th with a 250-foot blast. Nick Hammel drove in Noah McBride for the go-ahead run. Greene pitched a complete game on the way to a 5-4 victory, which guaranteed La Jolla a berth in the Regional tourney. The Bronco-12s dropped their last game to Ramona, who went on to win the tournament. The Bronco11s blew a 7-2 run lead to Tecolote, who came back with six unanswered runs to win the opening game 8-2. With a depleted roster, the 11s were knocked out of the tournament by Chula Vista South, 17-8. LJYB entered three tournament teams into the Mustang division. The Mustang Red team handily won their opening game 13-3 against Emerald. They lost to North City 6-0 and dropped into the losers’ bracket, where they faced a tough Tecolote team, who had also come off of a loss to North City. Tecolote won 16-6 on the way to the championship game. Coach Brian Kelly stated “the parents and the coaches are extremely proud of how hard our boys worked to improve their baseball skills, learn the game, and learn how to hon-
or the game and respect their opponents.” The Mustang Blue team battled Chula Vista South in their first game, 10-6. They faced Tecolote Red in the losers’ bracket and suffered a tough loss to end their tournament season. The Mustang-9 team played in a very competitive field with four extremely close games. They beat rival North City-9s, 12-11 before losing the next round 12-9 against Chula Vista South (CVS won the tournament.) La Jolla snuck past Paradise Hills 9-8 in order to play North City again in the losers’ bracket. Not only did they lose a close 4-3 game, but the winner advanced to the Regional tourney. It was a great effort on the part of this talented team. The Pinto division also entered three teams into the Sectional tournament. The power-hitting “Red Stripers” opened up with a rousing 2321 victory over Mira Mesa A. Unfortunately they had to play La Jolla Blue in the next round, with the Red Stripers coming out on top 16-5. La Jolla Blue was eliminated from the tournament by a strong Ramona Red team in a 12-11 battle. The Red Stripers faced Mira Mesa A again in the losers’ bracket with a 9-2 win. They avenged the Blue team’s loss to Ramona Red with a convincing 16-7 victory. Coach Duffy’s team met their match in the next round, losing 18-10 to Tecolote Red, who went on to win the tournament via the losers’ bracket. La Jolla Red deservedly advanced to the Regional Tournament where they face La Costa Gold on Saturday. The Pinto-7 team dropped their first game 15-5 to La Costa North, who won the tournament. In the losers’ bracket they lost to Carlsbad 12-1, but they still advance to the Regional tourney where they face San Marcos North on Saturday. LJYB’s powerhouse Shetland team came through with flying colors — again. They beat Mira Mesa 15-1, Chula Vista South 14-13 and San Marcos South 12-2. In the finals, they faced Mira Mesa who came through the losers’ bracket to beat La Jolla 11-4 and 24-17 in a grueling double header. La Jolla plays Ramona in their first game of the Regional tournament on Saturday. Good luck to all of the LJYB teams playing in the PONY Regional Tournament!
La Jolla Pop Warner will have all new helmets this season. Phil Dailey
LA JOLLA LIGHT - july 5, 2012 - Page A19
From Pop Warner, A18 your gear takes a beating, and to be truthful, the modern technology of helmets and shoulder pads have advanced so greatly in the last six years that you almost don’t even recognize the helmets from then and now,” he added. And that’s why the league has invested more than $30,000 in new, safer equipment. All La Jolla Pop Warner football players — from mitey mite to unlimited — will wear all new Riddell Speed Classic Helmets and Rawlings SRG Spartan shoulder pads. “We felt it was an opportunity and a responsibility to upgrade our equipment to the highest possible stan-
dards that we could afford to do, so that’s what we did,” Rosencrans said. La Jolla Pop Warner operates at La Jolla Country Day and has leagues that start with flag football (5-to 7-year olds) and full-contact leagues that include mitey-mite (7-to 9-year olds), junior peewee (8-to 10-year olds), pee wee (9-to 11-year olds), junior midget (10-to 12-year olds) and unlimited (11-to 14-year olds). “What we have is extremely highend equipment that rivals or exceeds many of the high schools,” Rosencrans said.” Practice begins for all teams Aug. 1 at La Jolla Country Day.

Lux Art unveils upcoming season By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Lux Art Institute has a lot going on these days. Currently on exhibit through July 28 is a set of striking nouvel-impressionist portraits by Alex Kanevsky, who ended his month-long residency June 30. About-to-begin is the building of an elaborate Education Pavilion that will have its grand opening in January 2013. And just-released is the list of five varied talents who will be next season’s resident artists, plus a local grant recipient who combines video, photography, poetry and architecture in his work recording San Diegans’ stories. Visitors are invited to chat with the resident artists and watch them as they work. n While the nondescript former Waldorf school at the foot of the sixacre Lux property is being transformed into a deluxe, indoor-outdoor community artand-culture center, Brooklyn sculptor Susan Graham will kick off the season in September with her surrealistic works in porcelain and sugar. Graham, who uses delicate mediums to portray heavy industrial equipment and disturbing images of her native Midwest, like her dad’s 76-gun collection, will be working in sugar at Lux, creating a landscape reminiscent of the wall-

ven if you don’t remember the La Jolla Ukulele Christmas Parade a few years back, you probably have fond memories of warm summer nights on the beach, huddled around a bonfire, listening to someone playing the ukulele.
It turns out memories are still being made. In fact, the “uke” is more popular than ever, distinguishing albums by everyone from Jason Mraz to Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, and finding its way into more and more people’s homes. “It’s a rare day when I don’t sell at least one,” said DeForest Thornburgh, proprietor of The Blue Guitar music store in Mission Gorge.
Famous ukulele players include Elvis Presley, Greta Garbo and Tiny Tim. See more at gotaukulele.com
Thornburgh, a guitar and ukulele player himself, says there’s a simple reason why the uke is beloved. He demonstrated by strumming one in the store. “Whenever I play,” he said, “everyone smiles.” Besides that, “they’re cute as a button. They’re just fun.” For three years, 2008-2010, local members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars paraded down Girard Avenue at Christmas time, playing ukuleles. According to “Ukulele Fred” Thompson, one of those players, their part in the parade was discontinued because of weather concerns in December. He was particularly protective of his prized uke, which he says is worth $15,000. Thompson would like to see the La Jolla Ukulele Christmas Parade revived. “It’s a very happy, very uplifting instrument,” he said. The ukulele has a long and storied history. It was brought to Hawaii in the 19th century by Portuguese immigrants from the island of Madeira. The early version of the instrument was known as the machete. It was renamed the ukulele, which translates to “jumping flea.” The Hawaii connection was responsible for initially popularizing the four-stringed mini-guitar. “Here was an instrument that was small and easy to play and best of all, SEE ukulele, B3

FROM ukulele, B1 if you had any experience on a guitar, it took you half an hour to orient yourself on the uke,” said Jim Beloff, author of “The Ukulele: A Visual History.” “It was also a way to get your children into music that was their size. And it didn’t hurt that the ukulele has all of these wonderful associations with one of the most beautiful places on Earth, Hawaii. It has this colorful history and it’s very easy to learn to play a few chords on it.” DeForest Thornburgh says the transition from guitar to uke is a snap. “If you play guitar, you already play ukulele — you just don’t know it,” he said. Thornburgh is wary of the notion that the ukulele is experiencing a newfound renaissance in popularity — “We’ve been hot and heavy into ukes for the last 20 years” — but he does acknowledge that recent cultural and societal developments may be heightening the attraction to the little instrument that is linked not only to the Hawaiian Islands but to vaudeville and Tin Pan Alley. “Times are stressful,” he said, “and people are looking for ways to escape.” The gentle sound of the ukulele
LA JOLLA LIGHT - july 5, 2012 - Page B3
transports the player and listeners alike to another place or time. The increased popularity “also coincides with Hawaii rediscovering its own culture,” Thornburgh suggested. “The rest of America is following along.” Beloff, whose Connecticut-based company Fleamarketmusic.com publishes a line of songbooks for ukuleles, believes that the emergence of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s coincides with the renewed interest in the uke. “The Internet helped to create communities and groups that ultimately led to the fostering of uke festivals and the like,” he said. “The other key ingredient is that George Harrison on ‘The Beatles Anthology’ is heard playing a ukulele. “Here is George, the lead guitarist of the Beatles, the band responsible for every kid wanting to play a guitar, playing a ukulele. It turns out he loved playing the ukulele and was very outspoken about his affection for Hawaiian music. All of a sudden (the ukulele) is getting a lot of endorsement from cool guys who play guitars.” One of those cool guys, Eddie Vedder, made the uke the focus of his 2011 solo album “Ukulele Songs.” The
Did you know? Ukuleles are available in four different sizes: ■ T he soprano is the smallest (and most popular) at about 21-inches long. ■ T he concert is about 23 inches. ■ T he tenor ukulele (the choice of professionals from Hawaii) is about 26 inches. ■ T he baritone is 30 inches long. The larger ukuleles are louder and deeper in tone. ukulele was also prominently heard on the Train hit “Hey, Soul Sister.” “At its heart,” said Beloff, “all things go in waves. Just as you think something’s going to disappear entirely, somebody seizes upon it.” As long as we have beach parties and picnics, the ukulele will have a place at the party. “It’s a small, personal device that doesn’t require batteries,” said Beloff. “It allows you to take your music everywhere in the true sense of the word.”

It’s all about thin-crusts at Amici’s East Coast Pizzeria in La Jolla By Kelley Carlson mici’s East Coast Pizzeria has made its way down the West Coast, with La Jolla as its first location in Southern California. Customers will find the thin, crispy pizza that is popular in cities like New York, along with pastas, salads and more. Open since the beginning of May, Amici’s La Jolla site is No. 13 for the 25-year-old chain, which is headquartered in San Mateo. And although the restaurant is based in the Bay Area, the owners bring authenticity with their East Coast roots: Peter Cooperstein’s hometown is Boston, while Mike Forter formerly called upstate New York home. They met in San Francisco and became business partners, with a goal of introducing the style of pie they loved to a different demographic. After opening a dozen Amici’s locations within a 70-mile radius of one another, the opportunity arose to establish one in La Jolla. “This is the kind of community where we’ve been most successful,” said Richard Allum, director of purchasing/marketing. “It seemed like a good fit for us.” Like the other Amici’s restaurants, the site in The Jewel is East Coast-themed. Black-andwhite photos from the Brearley Collection in Boston line the earth-toned walls of the main dining room, featuring images of athletes and celebrities such as Joe Namath, Babe Ruth and the Kennedys. There is also an open kitchen, where pizzas are created before guests’ eyes. The dough — made three days ahead of time to develop the right amount of elasticity — is hand-stretched, tossed, topped and baked for about four minutes at 700-degrees in a large, Italian brick oven. The pies are bubbling and

This week: ■ Amici’s Artichoke Panzanella Salad crisp when removed from the flames. They can come with simple toppings — the New York consists of mozzarella and tomato sauce — or combinations not commonly seen in California. Among the more unique are the New Haven White Clam with garlic, seasonings, olive oil and bacon; the Trentino, featuring several types of cheeses, baby spinach, red onions, pancetta (Italian bacon), herbs and Meyer lemon olive oil; and the Milano, containing mozzarella, provolone, roasted Yukon Gold potatoes, bacon, slow-roasted garlic, red-andgreen onions and red-pepper flakes. The restaurant’s enclosed terrace has fully retractable windows to allow for peoplewatching along Prospect Street, with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego as part of the backdrop. The patio provides a glimpse of the ocean with tables shaded by umbrellas, including a community table with a fire-pit centerpiece. Besides pizza, salads are an “incredibly

One example is the Artichoke Panzanella Salad, composed of artichoke hearts, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, romaine, basil and capers and served with a red-wine vinaigrette. And the award-winning Caesar dressing is made in batches several times a day — as well as pesto — so it’s “absolutely fresh,” Allum said. The restaurant also bakes its own bread for sandwiches. But customers should note that sandwiches are only served until 3 p.m. Happy hour offers reduced prices on many of the standard items, plus beer and wine. Most of the restaurant’s items can be prepared gluten-free, with the exception of pastas and two of the pizza toppings. A specially made crust is purchased from Still Riding Pizza in Bridgeport, Conn., and prepared in a separate area in the kitchen from the rest of the food. The pizza is made on a special baking screen and sliced with a designated cutter.

Doctor pens sports thriller to inform about DNA doping By Kathy Day Harvey Shapiro, 71, has found a new way to feed his workaholic personality — writing a book. He recently published “Morphed,” a sports thriller, revolving around the use of DNA doping in sports and the use of human performance enhancement technologies in daily living. He uses his own experiences — as a physician, a cyclist, a former medical correspondent for NBC San Diego and a volunteer doping control officer for the 2002 Winter Olympics — to craft the fictional account that asks “How far are athletes or individuals willing to go to win, even to the point of al-
tering their own DNA?” Eric Heiden, the Olympic gold medalist who is now an orthopedic surgeon, writes in the liner notes that “DNA manipulation — a likely next step in performance enhancement — amps up the health issues for all of us. It pits parents against their kids who emulate their idol athletes and tempts us with prospects of its fountain of youth effects. Shapiro opens the doors on the locker room’s inner sanctum where sports intermingle with big business and science.” Shapiro’s book goes to places that sound familiar from recent sports news — athletes using steroids, an
anti-doping doctor, the Tour de France, and a “muscle-altering DNA substance that will not only pass through the anti-doping system but can also reduce the effects of aging.” One of his characters — and there are many “real characters,” he said — is an aging cyclist who is breaking Lance Armstrong’s records. Shapiro, who timed the release of his self-published work to coincide with the Summer Olympics in London, said he came up with the concept for the story after volunteering as a doping control officer at the Olympics. A resident of Del Mar, he lives half of the year — summers and winters — in

Park City, Utah, which is where he was when a nurse encouraged him to join the anti-doping effort. “I spent two years training (for the volunteer assignment), sneaking up on people and saying ‘Aha,’ it’s time for your test,” he said. As a physician, he ran a testing station where athletes had to report at the end of their events. “I started thinking, if somebody wanted to cheat, how would they do it,” he said. “They could try to corrupt me, but that wouldn’t work.” As the ideas ran through his head, he started researching substance abuse in elite sports. In 2004, Shapiro was the California Society of Anesthesiologists’ Forrest M. Leffingwell Memorial Lecturer and delivered a talk on just that subject. In that lecture, Shaprio said, “I don’t believe that most sport fans are upset enough (about doping) to respond by turning off their TV sets or staying away from the professional stadiums and arenas. Until they
do so, fans are simply fanning the fire and doping is here to stay.” That thought underlies the storyline of “Morphed.” “Almost every time, the technology developed to help patients makes it onto the field as quickly as it gets into the doctor’s office,” he said. “Along comes the opportunity to win and not get caught … some do it without regard to their personal health.” As a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania, Shapiro studied the effects of anesthesia on brain metabolism and blood flow. While a resident, he was the first to utilize a medically induced coma to control intracranial pressure during neurosurgery. Because he had done a neurosurgery residence at the University of Washington and worked as a fellow for two years at the National Institutes of Health Division of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, he had an understanding of both fields that gave him a different perspective on what was occur-
ring in the injured brain. “With CT scans, we had the ability to measure pressure inside the head that we didn’t have four or five years before,” he said, adding that the new technology facilitates the ability to change the way neurosurgery is done. In 1976, he joined the faculty at UCSD, focusing his lab and clinical work on acute brain injury. He became anesthesiology department chair in 1986 and dean of clinical affairs before retiring in 1996. In 1997, his first book, “Managed Care Beware: 5 Steps You Need to Know to Survive HMOs and Get the Care You Need,” was published by Dove Books. Retirement hasn’t slowed him down. He skis as often as he can and still cycles regularly, traveling frequently on bike trips to faraway places — including ahead of the Tour de France where he actually witnessed what he believes was a team car providing a doping substance to a rider.

FROM Shapiro, B6 Growing up in Philadelphia, he said, his “bicycle took me everywhere.” While he no longer rides competitively, Shapiro, who also participated in triathlons, learned from experience about the effects of high-altitude training. While in Park City, his red blood cell count rises, akin to what happens with blood doping. It takes about three weeks, he said, for the level to drop, which coincides with him moving back in the pack of riders he trains with. It’s the same as blood-doping or using EPO (erythropoietin, which controls red blood cell production) he said, adding, “But I’m legal because I live there.” He says he knows too many stories about athletes who are “dumb, destitute and desperate” who have resorted to steroid use and ended up on the wrong side of their drug tests. He’s also aware of the impacts on nonathletes and teens who want to be bigger and stronger. “Adults can make decisions … It’s my last Olympics so if I take steroids for four years, it won’t affect my life,” he said, but kids’ shouldn’t be making those calls.
He says he’s hopeful his book might help educate the non-sports book reader who picks it up. While it is fiction, it’s based on his observations and research. It uses sports to talk about our society, which Shapiro said “demands that these guys dope. No one would watch if there were no records broken, and nobody wants to lose.” He’s talked to people who have read his book, which took five years to write, and given it good reviews, he said, but he gets a little frustrated about the process of getting published. He did it on his own, with the help of friends and family, and a few technical advisors like Theodore Friedmann of UCSD, an authority on gene therapy who in 2011 was named chair of the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). One of the challenges, he said, was getting a positive Kirkus Review. While authors pay for the reviews, they aren’t always necessarily positive, he noted. “They’re tough. You can either use it or not.” He rolled the dice and Kirkus Reviews called his book “a thrilling, nuanced drama that packs an informational and emotional punch.”

Rev. Raymond G. “Jerry” O’Donnell, Pastor We believe that All Hallows is much more than simply a place to worship once a week. It is also a center for learning, teaching, sharing faith experiences, and for giving and receiving that strength that we all need for our life-long journey with God. We are those servants mentioned by Jesus (Matthew 25:14-30). Each of us have been richly gifted, but these gifts must be invested wisely and generously to help others, according to the principles of good Christian Stewardship. Know that you are most welcome at All Hallows. We hope that you will find your faith home here in our community. May God bless you.

StageHANDS exhibition spotlights backstage artists By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt When you go to the theater, do you ever consider how many unseen people made the show possible? And how many of them might have creative talents of their own? Kristen Flores did. A scenic painter at San Diego Repertory Theatre who has spent half her life backstage, Flores came up with the idea of giving the craftsmen she knew a chance to take center stage with their personal artwork. The first StageHANDS exhibit, in 2009, was a casual affair, including Kristen and her two sisters, a handful of friends and co-workers, and no publicity. This year’s show, which runs through July 9 in the Lyceum Theatre gallery space, is twice the size and attracted more than 100 art-andtheater-lovers to its opening reception June 25. Produced by Andy Lowe, artistic director of Chinese Pirate Productions, the exhibit features not just carpenters, electricians, and stagehands, but stage managers, designers, and a couple of theater critics. “Andy’s kind of like a big brother to me; he’s great at advertising, and he really helped me take this show to the next level,” Flores said. Lowe, who is also the

Theatre in Residence program coordinator at La Jolla Playhouse, said he has a huge respect for stagehands and technicians, having spent time — 18 years — as a theater electrician himself. “The technical people don’t get the bows, but they’re the ones who make the theatrical magic work,” Lowe said. “And almost every one I’ve known has been involved in

This exhibit is their chance to get a little recognition.” Theater critic Pat Launer has six paintings in the show, each inspired by a local production, a few of the many she sees and reviews every year. A longtime Del Mar resident, she has been taking art classes for almost a decade, and had her first exhibition last June at Liberty Station. “Andy told me about the StageHANDS exhibit, and I told Cuauhtemoc Kish, who’s also a theater writer and a fabric artist, too,” she

said. “I think it’s great to showcase another side of creative theater people, and I’m excited to be part of it!” Twenty-four behind-thescenes artists contributed their work to StageHANDS, which includes oils and watercolors, photography, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, and a plexiglass installation. Even the music at the opening reception was provided by stagehands — former stage manager Sarah Kirby and her Alter Ego Band, featured members of La Jolla Playhouse’s backstage crews.
At the opening, StageHANDS curator Kristen Flores shows off one of her ceramic pieces, a poison dart frog plate.

ROBERTA FLACK Killing Me Softly
FRI & SAT, JULY 6 & 7, 7:30pm
If you go Lucky (Luke Jacobs), Ruby (Sarah Errington) and Dick (Jeffrey Scott Parsons) ham it up in ‘Dames At Sea.’ The musical, directed by Rick Simas, pays homage to 1930’s Busby Berkeley musicals. Barren Henzel By Diana Saenger What better time than summer to take a lighthearted voyage on the ocean of imagination? That’s the course set for the musical comedy, “Dames at Sea,” which docks at the intimate stage of North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach, July 5-29. “The play, about a girl arriving in the Big Apple with nothing but a pair of tap shoes in her suitcase, first opened in 1968,” said director Rick Simas. “It came from a short sketch
and a one-act musical that was performed in a small theater. That’s very different for North Coast Rep where we’re taking this now big, huge musical and doing it in a very intimate way. We’ve never had a tapping show before, and there’s a lot of tap.” NCRT has gone the extra mile to ensure this show earns high marks. Tap choreographer Lisa Hopkins has been hired to work along with choreographer Susan Jordan-DeLeon, who earned her M.F.A. in Musical

■ Website: northcoastrep.org Theatre from San Diego State University. Simas said just like back in the 1930s when “Dames at Sea” helped lift spirits during the Great Depression, today’s audiences will find it brings joy to the tough recession we are experiencing. “Our show is a sweet valentine to the Busby Berkeley musicals. It has great melodic songs, wonderful dancing and is really fun.”

Volunteers step up for clean up at Children’s Pool By Phil Dailey t was a picture-perfect day to be at the beach Saturday, June 30, but for several locals it wasn’t about relaxing under the sun. About a dozen volunteers took two hours out of their morning to clean up Children’s Pool beach, an effort organized by the San Diego Council of Divers and the Friends of the Children’s Pool. “This is an event that we do in the summer,” said Kenneth Hunrichs, president of the Friends of the Children’s Pool. “This one is important because the Fourth of July holiday is coming up and there will be hundreds of people here enjoying the fireworks.” If you missed out on the cleanup last week, there are three more scheduled this summer.

Kitchen Shrink uly brings bumper crops of plump, juicy indigo berries to farmers markets and u-pick fields throughout the land. Get the most from these precious purple gems while they are fresh and seasonal in July, aka National Blueberry Month. Blue Bloods Blueberries, with more than 450 species in their large family, have the distinction of being one of the few fruits native to North America, praised and enjoyed by Native Americans and settlers for hundreds of years. The former believed that the “Great Spirit” sent this five-pointed “star berry” to prevent starvation during lean times. They created pemmican, a type of “blueberry Jerky” to sustain them during lengthy journeys. Purple Powerhouse While Ben Franklin discovered that “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” a serving of blueberries a day might just keep the oncologist, neurologist, cardiologist, optometrist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist and periodontist away. A cup of low-gycemic, diabetic-friendly blueberries contains just 80 calories and
almost zero fat, but a motherload of nutrients. Packed with Vitamin C, blueberries boost the immune system, stimulate collagen production for youthful skin and maintain healthy gums. They are a good and plenty source of dietary fiber and manganese to dialup bone health and energy. Blueberries are rock stars in antioxidant activity, thanks to the polyphenols, especially anthocyanins that give the berry its dark blue hue. These mighty warriors fend off free radicals that can cause cancer, cardiovascular disease and age-related decline. They have been shown to improve eyesight and keep gastro inflammation at bay. And since organically grown blueberries have been found to contain higher doses of antioxidants than conventionally grown ones, where possible, go organic. Recent studies have also linked blueberries to improved memory. Pick a Winner Look for blueberries that are firm, have a rich blue hue with a silvery protective gloss, and are uniform in size. Avoid unripe green pee-wees or overripe mush balls and soggy packages. Store these blue beauts in their original containers for up to a week in the fridge. Do a cold rinse when ready to eat, and comb through the batch removing stray twigs, leaves or bad berries. Pat dry and enjoy. Blueberry Fields Forever According to “The Great Food Almanac,” if all the blueberries grown in North
America in one year were spread out in a single layer, they would cover a fourlane highway stretching from New York to Chicago. Maine is the top banana of wild blueberry production, both in North America and worldwide, while Michigan produces the most cultivated varieties. A Blueberry Walks into a Bar The multi-tasking blueberry can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, supper, snacks and desserts. Toss them in your ricotta pancakes, whole-wheat bars, oatmeal, buttermilk scones, coconut macadamia quick breads and frothy smoothies. Whip up a sweet and tart blueberry Meyer lemon syrup for French toast, waffles or crepes, or a savory blueberry balsamic sauce to drizzle on grilled wild-caught salmon or shrimp, roasted chicken, lamb chops or burgers. Do a twist on traditional salads with a Asian chicken breast tossed with blueberries, ginger and toasted cashews; or a roasted kale, red onion and blueberry blend; or a Mediterranean with feta, figs and blueberries; or a turkey Cobb tossed with avocado and blueberry vinaigrette. Try toasted quinoa, brown rice or orzo with pecans and dried blueberries. For your just desserts, do a blueberry tort with hazelnut crust, blueberry coconut cupcakes or a summery blueberry peach cobbler with blueberry cinnamon swirl ice cream.

National Charity League recognizes its graduating seniors By Ruth Chandler ix years ago, 26 horrified young girls, and their very patient mothers, joined the San Diego Chapter of a national philanthropic organization to better understand the world around them while serving their communities together through “good works.” In doing so, mothers introduced their daughters to a world outside their normal comfortable surroundings, while dragging (mostly, for awhile at least) their daughters to National Charity League (NCL) chapter meetings or to philanthropic events. This delicate dance between mother (Patroness) and daughter (Ticktocker) resulted in accomplished young women, many of whom, six years later as the Class of 2012, are the first step up to the plate to perform “good works,” where the need is greatest, while now dragging their mothers behind them. These girls were graduated from the San Diego Chapter of NCL during this year’s Senior Recognition,”Unforgettable,” on May 26 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla in the Aventine Ballroom. The girls will be celebrated, along with their philanthropies and the 10,000 volunteer hours the San Diego Chapter amassed between Meals on Wheels, the San Diego Public Libraries, Father Joe’s Villages, Special Olympics, I Love a Clean San Diego, the Salvation Army and the San Diego Food Bank, to name but a few. And who, besides proud parents, grandparents, relatives and friends, other Ticktockers and Patronesses of the San Diego Chapter, bid adieu to the Class of 2012? Twenty-eight horrified young girls, and their patient Patroness mothers, of the incoming Class of 2018 …

Since 1969 · Heinz Gietz
Since 1963 · Everett Stunz
einz Gietz Autohaus is one of the most special gems in the La Jolla community. Located in its original location on Virginia Way since 1969, it is one of California’s original Mercedes-Benz Factory Authorized Service Dealers. It is the only one left of its kind. With an open-air service center and a real family atmosphere you can watch your car being worked on and get real old world customer appreciation. Originally from Frankfurt Germany, Heinz Gietz was trained as a Mercedes-Benz technician in 1938. He was eventually named Lead Technician for Aguie Pabst’s (heir of Pabst Blue Ribbon) Gullwing Race Team. While traveling with Aguie, Mr. Gietz visited San Diego and immediately fell in love with La Jolla. He moved here with his wife Ilse and Heinz Gietz Autohaus was born. 42 years later, the business is operated by his daughter, Sonja Gietz, and his grandson Dieter-Heinz Kijora.
Heinz Gietz Mercedes-Benz is an Authorized Service Center that offers white glove family service along with the power and expertise of Mercedes-Benz trained authorized technicians and parts personnel. They now also operate an onsite luxury and exotic car tuning company HG Motorsports that specializes in performance modifications and aesthetic add-ons for many makes.

La Jolla’s Gems of the week WISH I’D SAID THAT!
Inspiring Views An artist works along the sidewalk above the Children’s Pool capturing the plein-air scenes of summer. — Susan DeMaggio
Exercise for People Over Age 50 Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-pound potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you will find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-pound potato bags. Next, try 50-pound potato bags, and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-pound potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I’m at this level.) After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag. — Arthur Lipper
EXPERT ADVICE Integrative medicine holds the key to fighting obesity in children and adults

DATE OF SALE: 07/20/2012 TIME OF SALE: 10:00 AM PLACE OF SALE: At the entrance to the East County Regional Center by statue, 250 E. Main Street, El Cajon, CA STREET ADDRESS and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 488-498 DUNEMERE DRIVE , LA JOLLA, CA 92037 APN#: 351-102-12-00 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 of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $825,035.75.

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. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public,

Cygnet hopes to inspire with ‘Man of La Mancha’ By Diana Saenger The play within a play, “Man of La Mancha,” opens Cygnet Theatre’s 10th season in Old Town on July 5. The musical follows the exploits of Cervantes, a failed author, actor, soldier and tax collector awaiting trial by the Spanish Inquisition in the 17th century. The book is by Dale Wasserman, lyrics by Joe Darion and music by Mitch Leigh. Sean Murray, artistic director of Cygnet Theatre, has been passionate about the play since he performed in it during high school in 1978. “I felt an instant connection to it,” Murray said. “It’s a powerful show and fun to

do. It’s a lot about having a philosophy and viewpoint to get one through the harsher side of life.” In 2001, Murray revisited the play as lead character Miguel de Cervantes at the North Coast Repertory Theatre. He gave an awardwinning performance alongside John Guth as Sancho Panza. “One year before that show I lost my father,” Murray said. “It was a profound loss for me. He reminded me of the Cervantes character, and I felt like I was finding the voice of Cervantes through my father.” Now the same age as his character, Murray said he’s excited to once again fill the

shoes of Cervantes. “We’re trying to be organic in the staging,” Murray said. “So much of that show depends on the audience’s imagination. Since they never leave that prison environment, they have to use their imaginations to picture different locations.” Murray also directs, a decision that requires a little more challenge since he’s singing and acting, too. In addition to having stand-ins for his character while he’s directing, he must make the show that is occasionally referred to as pretentious – engaging. The Cygnet production includes an eight-piece orchestra and 13 performers.
n Carlos Vega, a native of Spain and graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago, will start 2013 with his compelling collages that combine flea-market finds with a mix of lead, paint, and stamps. His on-site project will be a large Trees of Life diptych, representing sequoias of the California coast and the region’s diverse demographics. n More trees will follow in March — the mysterious pointillist treescapes of San Francisco painter James Chronister — and in June, the season will end with the allegorical animal still-life paintings of Melissa Miller, from Texas.
n And this October, there’s an added bonus from the homefront, with Wes Bruce, recipient of one of San Diego Foundation’s 2012 Creative Catalyst Fund Grants, bringing “Joy, Mourning, Curiosity & Wonder” to Lux. After spending a year collecting personal stories that document the relationships between structures and people, Bruce will be building two cabin-like structures to house the gathered information and welcoming other interested participants to share their stories online.

San Diego property values drop .14 percent The 2012 assessed value of all taxable property in San Diego has decreased 0.14 percent (or $568 million) from last year, said San Diego County Assessor Ernie Dronenburg. This year’s total assessed value is $395.1 billion. After deducting tax-exempt properties (charitable, homeowners, disabled, etc.) the net taxable assessed value is $380 billion, and based on a 1 percent tax rate it would produce approximately $3.8 billion in property taxes. “At least three major elements influenced the roll value for 2012,” Dronenburg said in a press release. “The continued soft real estate market, especially in owneroccupied residential, negatively influenced the roll. “Offsetting the negative elements somewhat were changes in ownership and new construction activity and the positive indexing factor on Prop 13 values.” “This year’s California Consumer Price Index (CCPI) was at the maximum allowed by Prop 13 (2 percent). Indexing added just under $4.8 billion in assessed value. Changes in ownership of parcels added $4.8 billion. New construction activity added $1.9 billion to the roll. Partially offsetting these increases were over 101,021 parcels that were reduced in value due to the market value being lower than assessed value calculation pursuant to Prop 13. “There were other reductions in the roll this year also,” stated Dronenburg. “For example, the purchase of State Route 125 by government took off almost $300 million from the roll. The temporary roll reductions and miscellaneous reductions caused the overall roll to be less in 2012.” In addition to the 980,654 taxable parcels on the secured tax roll, the county also values business personal property and boats and aircraft. During 2012,

59,775 businesses, 14,105 aircraft and 1,756 boats were valued for the tax roll. Cities and school districts rely heavily on property tax revenue. Of the eighteen cities in this county, six experienced a small decline in value while the remaining 12 cities had positive growth. The cities of Coronado and Solana Beach had the largest increases of 3.92 percent and 4.88 percent respectively. “For the taxpayers who
have been granted a temporarily reduced assessment, their notices of reductions will be mailed in mid-July,” Dronenburg said. Those who disagree with their assessed values and can support a lower value may file an Assessment Appeal Application between July 2 and Nov. 30, 2012. Application forms are available from the Clerk of the Assessment Appeals Board at (619) 531-5777 or from sdcounty.ca.gov/cob
