Stirring the ‘McMansion’ controversy Debate on Shores building rules heats up BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com Some La Jolla Shores residents worry that “mansionization” — building large home where smaller ones once stood — could ruin the neighborhood so they are trying to figure out what could, or should, be done about it. Others say the Shores rules are in place for a reason and protect property values, and some say it’s such an important

nder the Stars,” a free outdoor concert sponsored by the La Jolla Music Society, was performed on Aug. 3 at the Cove. Among the most incredible of human achievements are the ability to create, play and appreciate fine music and they were on full display that night. Some of the most incredible natural creations were also on display. While the guests assembled, brown pelicans glided by in surreal formations and provided a picturesque backdrop to the musical stage. While the KalichsteinLaredo-Robinson Trio along with musical director, ChoLiang Lin, practiced their Brahms Piano Quartet No. 1 in G Minor, an osprey sat on the lamppost directly above the Cove preening itself at

dusk; it seemed to, contentedly, observe the musical festivities. The musical program opened with Dvorak’s Opus 74. During the Scherzo, the sun emerged from the cloudbank and dipped below the horizon giving off its famous “green flash.” And, at the last notes of Lalo’s Symphonie Espagnole, highlighted by the outstanding solo performance of Augustin Hadelich, a beautiful crescent moon glowed in the southwestern sky. The evening at the Cove reminds one of the immense creativity of the human intellect and its ability to appreciate the arts … man-made and natural. Thanks, La Jolla, for a delightful evening ... “under the stars.” — Art Cooley and Bev Grant La Jolla

Howard Young: More than a tutor LJ student brings Special to the Light Howard Young loved the logic of mathematics and imparting his knowledge to the hundreds of La Jolla and North County students he tutored. Analytical, inquisitive and curious, he craved the “aha” moment when a complex issue suddenly made sense. He often repeated his professional mantra — “math is fun” — to teenagers who found math distasteful. He was a numbers person. To his students, he was far more. “Howard gave us the priceless gift of self-motivation, confidence and drive to solve problems on our own,” said Danielle Gibbons, who graduated from The Bishop’s School in 2005. “It was the perfect combination with Howard — your best friend as your teacher.” Molly Eldridge, whose brother, sister and daughter studied with him, added: “We would spend a few minutes catching up, but it was always right to the

They were his priority, and he was their advocate, their confidante, their friend. ‘Math tutor’ just doesn’t cut it as his title in life.“ Young, a La Jolla resident for 18 years, died July 31 after a lengthy illness. A memorial service will be held
11 a.m. tomorrow at Ellen Browning Scripps Park. His methods were customized, unusual and sometimes playful. Besides empathy and patience, he used Jelly Belly candies to motivate and relax his students, so-called MOL — meaning-of-life — discus-
sions to engage them, mythical bonus points to reward them and brainteasers to challenge them. Ashley Geier, who acknowledged struggling with math, recalls sessions starting with Howard saying he had created a way to make the concepts more understandable. Born in a New York City suburb, Young moved to Los Angeles in 1979, shortly after graduating college. Though he adopted Southern California for the weather, scenery, and pace, he maintained the pointed opinions and direct style of an East Coast native. His lifelong friend Peter Kay recalled that Howard attributed his multi-faceted personality to his parents: “He and his mother are emotional, caring people with a love of art and beauty. He had enormous respect for his father’s intelligence and witty sayings that encapsulated life lessons.”

Beware of counterfeit meds from online pharmacies by Lynne Friedmann Ordering products and services from Internet e-commerce sites has become a way of life for many who find online shopping easy, convenient, and economical. But consumers need to think twice when it comes to online pharmacies which, in too many cases, deliver inferior or counterfeit medications. This is the message of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) in a report, issued July 28, on Internet drug outlets that found 96 percent of 8,000 rogue websites operate out of compliance with U.S. pharmacy laws, fuel prescription drug abuse and misuse, and provide an outlet for counterfeit medicines to enter the U.S. drug supply. “The fake online pharmacy crisis has reached an epidemic level,” said NABP President Malcolm J. Broussard, RPh, in a press release. “This problem poses a clear danger to Americans’ health and safety and weakens the essential relation-
ships between pharmacists and patients.” The NABP public health alert calls on pharmacists, physicians, and other health professionals to educate patients about the growing public health threat posed by these illegal online enterprises. [Internet Drug Outlet Identification Program Progress Report for State and Federal Regulators: July 2011 is available at http://bit.ly/ qAzc2O.] According to the World Health Organization, one in two medicines sold over the Internet is fake. A 2008 report by the European Alliance for Access to Safe Medicines, a community interest organization, also noted that three in five medicines sold over the Internet are either counterfeit or substandard. Among popular medications targeted by counterfeiters are lifestyle drugs like Viagra, but also medications for acute and chronic conditions such as asthma, diabe-

Red flags that signal an unsafe pharmacy website include: ■ Offers to sell prescription drugs without a prescription (this is against the law) ■ Does not provide a way to contact a licensed pharmacist by phone to answer questions ■ Sends a “generic” for a patent-protected drug that does not have a generic version ■ Sends the wrong drug or another dangerous product for a patient’s condition ■ Offers products that are not FDA approved ■ Offers prices that are dramatically lower than the competition tes and cancer. Often concocted in crude, unsanitary conditions, “counterfeits are sophisticated and hard to identify,” according to John P. Clark, Pfizer’s chief security officer and vice president of Pfizer Global Security. Clark recently met, at the invitation of BIOCOM, with San Diego reporters on the topic of counterfeit medications.

tomers. So, in some cases fake medications might contain 10 to 20 percent of authentic ingredients.They also might contain boric acid, brick dust, and even floor wax. “While counterfeit meds won’t poison you, realize that your disease condition isn’t being treated properly,” said Clark.

online safely, NABP developed the VIPPS (Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites) accreditation program. Consumers can look for the VIPPS Seal on accredited online pharmacy sites, or check NABP’s database at http://vippspharmacies.net. If you have bought online and suddenly don’t feel right when taking your usual medication, pills taste bitter, or an injectable product produces an unusual burning sensation, suspect a counterfeit. “Patients think ‘It’s not the product; it’s me,’” Clark said. Consult with your pharmacist who can send the product for free testing to verify if it is legitimate. When visiting your healthcare provider, it’s important to tell your physician not only what medications you are taking but also where you purchased them; particularly if that purchase was made online.

Avoid Sellers’ Worst Mistakes Sellers should take caution to avoid the following common traps: 1) Be careful not to overprice your home. Home values have dropped considerably since their peak a few years ago. Don’t be tempted to list your home for what you recently paid for it or what your neighbors paid a few years ago. Zillow, a popular real estate web site recently reported that 23% of homes listed for sale had to reduce their price at least once. 2) Don’t just rely on homes that have already sold. It is a good idea to check the whole market scene to make sure your price is competive: active listings, properties in escrow, foreclosures,. You can rest assured that your buyer will have checked these out also. Today’s buyer’s are very savvy as they search the Internet. How do these homes compare in size, updates and amenities with your home’s price. 3) Be sure to use professional photos when marketing your home. Close to 90% of buyers are reported to first see the home they buy on the Internet. First impressions count and you need to make sure that your pictures are eye catching. 4) Hovering during showings. Sellers should not be home during showings. Lurking sellers may make buyers nervous or prevent them from spending as much time as they need to view your home.

Riford access plan clears another step By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Plans to put a new entry to the Riford Center on Bonair Street fall in line with La Jolla’s design standards so the proposal got unanimous support from the six members of the community’s Planned District Ordinance Committee on Monday. A number of Riford neighbors opposed to the adult center’s plan to provide disabled access through a side entry turned out for the meeting. But they were disappointed to find that the committee was only voting on whether the center’s plan conformed to PDO standards such as proper materials usage and signage and would not debate the merits of the two competing disabled-access plans. The Bonair Street Neighborhood Group has offered an alternative design, which would include wheelchair access at the front entrance. They are worried that a new side doorway would become the de facto main entrance, disrupting their quiet residential neighborhood. Architect Michal Morton presented details on plans for the Bonair entry during Monday’s meeting. “For an existing building without ADA access, another entrance is allowed within 200 feet of the main public entrance,” he said, noting the doorway on Bonair is 78 feet from the front entrance. La Jolla Shores resident Mary Coakley and architect Don Goertz talked about their counterproposal during the comment period.
First coastal panel unveiled
Neighbors object to plans for a side entrance to the Riford center. Dave schwab Coakley noted Riford neighbors had been led to believe their plan would be accepted if it were demonstrated to be viable and the city signed off on it, both of which happened. Riford board member Don Hodges, who is an architect, said the board gave serious consideration to the alternate plan as promised, but the board opted to go in a different direction because extra costs and complications involved with putting access in the front made it impractical. The PDO’s recommendation will go on the consent agenda of the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s next meeting Sept. 1. If it is pulled for further discussion, the matter would be heard at the group’s Oct. 6 meeting.

From mcmansion, a1 topic it deserves a broader community conversation. Rob Whittemore, a La Jolla Community Planning Association trustee, is leading a group of residents who are convinced overdevelopment needs to be nipped in the bud. So he has proposed a solution: Get the City Council to enforce citywide Floor Area Ratios (FARs) which he claims have already been approved — but not implemented — in the neighborhood. That change could affect commercial, multifamily and visitor properties as well. FARs, the mathematical relationship between the total floor area of structures on a lot to the size of the parcel, are based on a sliding scale proportionate to lot size. The rest of La Jolla and the city follow that formula. Tim Golba, past LJCPA president and currently a city planning commissioner, said Whittmore’s request could only be honored “if the Shores (Planned District Ordinance) were silent on whether FARs apply. Then you would go to Chapter 13.” That, he added, contains “all the regulations for anything citywide.” The document outlines “a mathematical calculation versus the Shores PDO which controls building size with stepped-in development and general conformity with other homes in the vicinity.” But Golba, an architect, said the Shores PDO is not silent on whether the ratios apply. “It clearly states you’re allowed to build as long as it’s within the context of the adjoining neighbors and meets the requirements for maximum lot coverage and minimum landscape area,” Golba said But Whittemore argues that the standards in
a home being built near the beach in La Jolla shores takes up much of the lot and dwarfs the neighbors’ home. Dave Schwab Photo the Shores, outlined in the Planned District Ordinance (PDO), were intended to restrict single-story developments to 60 percent, 0.6, of lot coverage, a ratio compounded with each additional floor — rising to a 1.8 ratio for a three-story structure on the same lot. Whittemore contends in the Shores there has been a failure to enforce the citywide ratios, which has allowed excessively large “McMansions” to be built in the neighborhood that are up to three times the size allowed elsewhere in San Diego. Joe LaCava, immediate past LJCPA president and still a trustee, said he doesn’t know that there is a general consensus on changing the Shores rules. He characterized the debate as “potentially

enhancing natural beauty That is why we use the
the biggest single land-use question in the Shores since the original adoption of the PDO (Planned District Ordinance governing development) in 1974.” He said he is somewhat concerned that the process was rushed, adding “something of that magnitude deserves an extra amount of community outreach,” perhaps a communitywide meeting where the community can “find the right way to regulate itself.” Last week, Whittemore’s cause gained traction when the planning group voted 8-4-2 to recommend that the City Council support more stringent citywide FARs in the Shores. But Whittemore’s “solution” drew an adverse response from La Jolla architects
Claude-Anthony Marengo and Golba, who both differed with Whittemore’s interpretation and approach. Characterizing Whittemore’s stance as “oversimplified,” Marengo noted lot sizes in La Jolla Shores are not standardized as they are elsewhere in San Diego. “La Jolla Shores is so eclectic — every plot is different in size unlike areas where all the properties are the same size,” he said. Golba disagrees with Whittemore’s approach to revamping the ratio. “If you want to fix the PDO — fix it with due process in black and white and in plain English,” he said. “Have a public review, notice it, update the PDO. Don’t do this — effectively trying to do a back-door update through the City Council.” Planning group trustee Phil Merten, also an architect, offered his own note of caution: “People will consider FARs a downzoning of their properties and a depression of their property values.” But there are those who share Whittemore’s conclusions, like Helen Boyden, chair of La Jolla’s Development Permit Review Committee which makes recommendations on Shores residential projects. “It is a problem,” she said. “You go down to the beach and you’ve got single-family homes on 90 percent of the lot. A (citywide) FAR certainly would limit that.” Realtor and Shores resident Peggy Davis agrees dealing with “mansionization” is a pressing need. “We need not have these massive, monster homes,” she said. ”Hopefully, we will be able to scale down.”

Docile leopard sharks patrol our coastline
Natural La Jolla
By Kelly Stewart
During summertime in La Jolla, and particularly at La Jolla Shores, leopard sharks (Triakis semifasciata) may be seen along the shore in shallow water swimming in large groups. These sharks pose little threat to humans and snorkelers may be able to approach and observe them more closely on occasion (although caution should always be taken with wild animals). One of the most common sharks in California, they range from Oregon down to Baja California. A beautiful silvery color with an iridescent bronze glow, leopard sharks have dark oval patches and black spots extending down their back to their bellies. Older sharks will have lighter patches within the centers of their dark saddles. These are long-lived sharks and may live to be 30 years old. They are also slow to mature and a mother shark may be 10 years old before she will give birth. Leopard sharks give birth to live young, with four to 29 pups being born at once. They eat mostly worms (especially innkeeper worms), crabs, clams and fish and never really stray far from the bottom, where they pluck their prey from the sand.
Here is your opportunity to enjoy 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, in a spacious, light and bright home. Relax on the patio, which is almost always filled with sunshine, read, have coffee, lunch, dinner or just daydream. The 4th bedroom is presently being used as a den/TV room. The kitchen has Dacor and Subzero appliances. The complex has pools, tennis courts, a clubhouse and room to meet and chat with friends and neighbors. The home is close to the La Jolla Village and the elementary school, middle school and high school. Seller will entertain offers between $1,250,000 and $1,350,000

a group of leopard sharks swims together. Occasionally leopard sharks may be found within the kelp forest, looking for small fish and invertebrates. Because these small sharks are long-lived, late-maturing and have fewer offspring compared to other fishes, their population numbers need to be carefully monitored because animals with these characteristics cannot quickly recover from disturbances.

New beach lieutenant ‘living the dream’ By Dave SchwaB Staff Writer A surfboard in the office of San Diego Police Department’s Northern Division, which includes La Jolla, has a new name on it: Paul Rorrison. It’s a station tradition for the lieutenants in charge of patrolling the city’s beaches to sign it, which Rorrison did after he replaced Lt. Jim Filley overseeing Northern Division’s 120 service area, which encompasses La Jolla and the beach areas including Sail Bay. Typically in the office by 5 a.m., on call most of the time and admittedly “very busy, especially during summer,” Rorrison said in an interview at 8:30 a.m. on a scheduled day off. “I’m excited to be here, jumping in with both feet and getting a running start.” He learned about beach duty working Fourth of July weekends along the coast the past few years. Rorrison’s a cop through and through. “I was from the era of ‘Adam 12’ and ‘Dragnet,’ said the officer. He’s originally from the L.A. area who has a “Hawaii Five O”-theme ringtone on his cell phone. “I was in the Coast Guard for four and a half years, then jumped right into law enforcement within a year. Never regretted it. Love it. Don’t know what else I would do because it’s what I’ve always wanted to do: I’m living the dream right now.” Describing a “typical day,” Rorrison said that doesn’t exist in the “force.” “No day is the same ever — never a dull mo-
ment,” he said, noting he likes to get in early so he can get his office work done. “I want to be out in the field,” he said. “That’s what our core value is, being a patrol officer, being out there in the streets and helping people.” Most recently, Rorrison was transferred to Northern Division’s beach patrol from internal affairs. He started out in Central Division in downtown San Diego and Logan Heights working patrol before moving to Western Division in a sprawling area that includes North Park, Hillcrest and Midtown, Old Town and Ocean Beach. Rorrison has been a detective. He’s been involved in narcotics investigations and also has hands-on experience working with domestic violence issues. He’s also served on several homicide task forces, including the high-profile Danielle Van Dam case. Summing up what he likes most about police work, Rorrison said, “I like people, dealing with people, communicating with them. I like to catch bad guys. I like to try and make people’s lives better. That’s always been the driving force.” Rorrison said the police force is the central focus of his life. “This really is my family,” he said. “It sounds cliché, but I spend more time with the people on this job than I do any member of my close family. We’re all tight. You grow to love these people. They’ve got your back — and you’ve got theirs.” Overseeing beach police operations, Rorrison said his main job is “to facilitate any ac-
Paul Rorrison’s signature joins those of his predecessors. Dave SchWab photo tions that my captain (Al Guaderrama) directs me to do.” Typically, said Rorrison, crimes of violence or incidents involving serious injury are the highest priority.
Noting he’s been doing police work for a long time, Rorrison added he doesn’t anticipate stopping anytime soon. “I think I’ve got a lot to contribute still,” he said.

Coastal commission staff considering jurisdiction in Children’s Pool issue By Dave SchwaB Staff Writer The debate over whether the Children’s Pool rope barrier should be up year-round took another bounce last week — this time to the California Coastal Commission. Lee McEachern, district regulatory supervisor for the San Diego Coastal Commission’s District Office, confirmed that the San Diego City Attorney’s office has requested that the state commission’s mapping unit do a boundary determination to establish whether Children’s Pool falls within its purview.
He added the staff is working on the request. It appears that the Coastal Commission’s role may play a part in the San Diego Planning Commission’s next move. In December, the Planning Commission overruled a City Council decision to keep the rope up as a permanent visual guideline to protect seals. Commissioners agreed that, though mostly visual, the rope does serve as a barrier discouraging public beach access. Attorney Bryan Pease, an animal rights activist, then filed a legal challenge seeking to overturn the
Planning Commission’s decision. That was what prompted Superior Court Judge Lisa Foster in July to bounce the matter back to the commissioners so they could clarify what constitutes “encroachment.” Last week they commission took the matter up again, listening to both sides argue their case and then moving into a closed session to talk about the judge’s order. They took no action, and after the session a source said it was uncertain whether the commission would rehear the issue because the California Coastal Commission may have jurisdiction.

One of his happiest moments came in 1994, when he was at Madison Square Garden to see his beloved New York Rangers win the Stanley Cup. A torturous itinerary allowed him to balance tutoring and his vow to be present if the Rangers were ever in a position to clinch.

He loved working with students so much that he felt guilty taking money to do it.” The families were delighted to engage him. “Before (we)

The kids thought it was nuts that I pulled them off the beach to meet a tutor. He had them laughing in five minutes. We made the cut and the rest was history.

UCSD, Pfizer partnering on new drugs Pfizer, Inc. and UCSD Health Sciences announced Monday that they have signed an agreement they believe will speed up development of new drugs that has a potential value to UCSD over five years that could top $50 million. The pharmaceutical firm, which already has facilities in San Diego, has similar agreements with other life science research institutions across the country as part of its Centers for Therapeutic Innovation (CTI). “The collaborative partnerships formed through the Centers for Therapeutic Innovation between Pfizer and academic medical centers such as UC San Diego allow leading medical and clinical experts to join with Pfizer’s highly skilled scientists — using
Pfizer’s resources and expertise and each institution’s advanced drug development capabilities to speed the translation of innovative science into medicine for patients,” Jose Carlos Gutierrez-Ramos, Ph.D., senior vice president and head of BioTherapeutics Research and Development for Pfizer, said in a press release. The agreement is based on “continuous collaboration and transparency” and offers incentives for success, the release noted. Pfizer will provide UCSD researchers access to some of its antibody libraries and technologies, as well as funding to support the preclinical and clinical development of sponsored programs. CTI partners receive intellectual property rights and are granted milestone payments and
royalties tied to the advancement of mutually agreed-upon drug candidates. Gary S. Firestein, M.D., dean and associate vice chancellor of Translational Medicine and director of the Clinical and Translational Research Institute at UCSD School of Medicine, said the collaboration utilizes the university’s medical research strengths in key areas including neurosciences, cancer, inflammation, metabolism, clinical pharmacology, HIV and pain. It also will build upon efforts of CTRI to emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration among UCSD scientists and develop innovative approaches to solve difficult medical challenges, the release noted.
UCSD cardiovascular center opens after delay Eddie V’s, the new steak and seafood restaurant on the former Chart House site overlooking La Jolla Cove, is scheduled to open in mid- to late August. With two decks and views straight into the Caves, Eddie V’s will offer a diverse menu, a sunset happy hour and brunch. The restaurant was remodeled by renowned 90-year-old La Jolla architect Robert Mosher, whose family owned the property at 1270 Prospect St. from 1944 until it was purchased by Allison-Zongker in 1992.
After a four-month delay forced by state licensing officials, UCSD Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center opened to the public on Monday although it is expected to be several weeks before the emergency room opens. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) certified the center for patient care after initially delaying it while the staff repaired problems with the water system and in the emergency room. It will be several weeks before ER service can begin, officials said. The first inpatients transferred from other UCSD facilities on July 31, according to a UCSD press release.

Las Patronas represents La Jolla well Our view Every August, La Jollans turn out for the Las Patronas Jewel Ball, which was held on Saturday. It’s a sign of summer and a great representation of the good work that all of La Jolla’s charities do for our community and other parts of San Diego County. This 65th anniversary event goes a long way toward helping the organization raise the money it needs to fulfill grant requests, which this year

La Jolla’s development process brings value to our community Every month three joint committees under the La Jolla Community Planning Association umbrella review applications for. They are the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (LJSPRC), the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance Committee (LJPDO) and the La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee (DPR). Every month as many as 29 joint committee members engage in the process of obtaining applications from the city’s Development Services Department, reviewing the applications, setting agendas, assisting applicants in familiarizing them with the process, running the public meetings, and reporting their actions to the Community Planning Association. They also follow the project through the city review process to ensure that the project’s design incorporates community input, which was
agreed upon by the applicants during public review. This is an intensive process, to say the least, but well worth the efforts considering the cost and resources applied to redeveloping in La Jolla when you include committee members’ hundreds of volunteer hours and the applicant’s time as well. One of the reasons that I believe it takes this amount of effort is that a community such as La Jolla has broad guidelines for redevelopment. Any style is acceptable in our neighborhoods but visually, development plans need to demonstrate that they fit in to the neighborhood comfortably and do not adversely impact the existing fabric of the neighborhood. This is an oversimplification of the criteria but I believe it to be the basis of our efforts to determine whether proposed development meets the policy and the codes of the city and community. Still, there are risks involved in the process. Applications may be denied in total or in

So far this year the list has included “minor” beneficiaries who receive up to $20,000 like the Coggan Family Aquatic Complex, Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, La Jolla YMCA, Mama’s Kitchen, Scripps Research Institute and the UCSD Medical Center Bannister Family House, and Women’s Museum of California.

yOur view
regarding the panel at the Birch aquarium: Wonderful idea! Many visitors live inland, from landlocked places. They often marvel all the wildlife they see in La Jolla. How about adding some explanation on the bird population as well. There is a hawk who lives near the Cove and who can be seen catching fish nearby. Only if visitors can be alerted to all the wildlife who makes La Jolla their home by more panels along the
part when components of the design do not meet the guidelines. Successfully gaining a permit is something that all stakeholders— applicants, neighbors and community — are looking for in the process. Reducing the risk and increasing the certainty that one can build something beautiful and functional provides longterm value. One way to reduce risk and find success as an applicant is to adhere to the quantitative guidelines of the city Municipal Code and the Local Community Plan. At the Aug. 4 LJCPA meeting, trustees addressed such an issue by debating and then taking actions requesting that the city confirm that the Development Services Department enforces the allowable “floor area ratios” on properties in La Jolla Shores. I believe that by enforcing the citywide floor area regulations, commonly know as FARS, the level of desired certainty to the process and longterm value to the community will be increased.
coast, everyone would understand the need for conservation of our ocean. The other question visitors often ask, or get misindentified is the harbor seal vs. sea lion. I vote for the more panels the better. Agnes Hancock Brookline, Mass.

Civic Leadership Fund a catalyst for engagement BoB Kelly President/CEO The San Diego Foundation Foundations across the country have faced the reality that grantmaking alone cannot make the significant changes on the complicated issues people want and our communities need. Our colleagues all over the country are demonstrating this change through civic engagement. The San Diego Foundation has found that our work based on community engagement, civil participation and strong civic leadership has had great success beyond grantmaking alone. Bringing diverse groups of people together to problem solve and create solutions drives this success. Just imagine if San Diego became nationally known as a center of
civic engagement. The Civic Leadership Fund will help do this and The Foundation can be a catalyst to create that attraction. The Civic Leadership Fund will support numerous programs at the Center for Civic Engagement and other leadership activities. The Center for Civic Engagement will serve as the epicenter of civic activity where nonprofits, government agencies and businesses convene to plan the future of San Diego. With the help of San Diego’s generous and concerned philanthropic and business community, we look forward to working together to assure that San Diego remains in perpetuity as one of the most beautiful and desirable regions in the world.

Local legend honored by Surfing Walk of Fame BY PATRICIA B. DWYER The Surfing Walk of Fame in Huntington Beach named La Jolla legend Debbie Beacham its Woman of the Year last week for her work on progressing women’s professional surfing. Being one of the first women to compete in the International Professional Surfing world tour in the 1970s, Beacham’s quest for progression didn’t stay in the water. “It was mostly men thinking about their own path and where they were going to go,” Beacham said. “They weren’t thinking about the women, so I did my best to not let them forget.” When the women’s tour first began, prize money was limited, their heats were held at times with unfavorable conditions during which bikini contests were often scheduled — keeping everyone’s attention, even the judges’. Beacham used her time on tour to not only be a top competitor, but also to convince all the men around her that the women’s tour should be of equal quality to that of the men. “I don’t like when people use the word ‘fight,’ ” Beacham said. “I never fought for anything. I just convinced them that if they wanted the sport to grow, this was how it had to happen.” By 1982, Beacham had won her first world

The ceremony will be held Aug. 22, in Huntington Beach during the Nike US Open.
New school year brings out local charity efforts As students gear up for the new school year, area charities and businesses are too. Here are a couple of efforts launched recently that are looking for help. ■ Staples in La Jolla at 8657 Villa La Jolla Drive is among the stores participating in a national school supply drive, teaming up with DoSomething.org and the stars from ABC Family’s hit show “Pretty Little Liars.” The program will benefit youth at the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito to equip them with school supplies. Teens are being encouraged to collect school supplies and drop them off at their nearest Staples store through Sept. 1. Customers can also donate $1 at any Staples store, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting San Diego County students in need. By visiting www.staplesforstudents.org, teens can sign-up or get more information to take action. ■ Promises2Kids is holding its 10th Annual Backpack and Flash Drive. Local businesses, churches and community groups will host collection points throughout the community through Aug. 21. The goal is to collect at least 5,000 backpacks and flash drives, as well as other school supplies for foster kids — currently there are approximately 5,000 children in foster care in San

Turner ‘excited’ about season BY Joe Tash Contributor As San Diego football fans look forward to the start of the Chargers’ 2011 season with high hopes for the home team, one person is leaving nothing to chance — head coach Norv Turner. Turner, 59, is starting his fifth season as the Bolts’ boss. As with his entire coaching staff and players, Turner has to make up for lost time following the NFL owners’ lockout, which ended last month after players and owners came to terms on a new, 10-year collective bargaining agreement. The lockout meant that training camp and other normal pre-season preparations had to be put on hold through much of the summer. The Del Mar resident is a self-professed “early guy,” who hits the Starbucks near the Chargers’ Mission Valley headquarters about 5:15 a.m. on his way into work, then spends his day in a non-stop succession of meetings with players and coaches, along with daily four-hour practice sessions. Turner said he usually heads home about 11 p.m., feeling like he still didn’t get everything done. But he expects the hard work and long hours to pay off. “We’ve got a very strong nucleus of veterans and a lot of good young players. And we had an outstanding draft,” Turner said. The coaching staff has some new additions: notably, Greg Manusky, former defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, will run
the Chargers’ defense, after former defensive coordinator Ron Rivera left to become head coach of the Carolina Panthers. The Bolts also have a new special teams coach on board, following a series of missteps on special teams during the 2010 season. “I’m excited about where we’re going,” Turner said. Charger fans are hoping the team will rebound from last year’s disappointing finish, when it failed to make the playoffs for the first time in four seasons under Turner. There were bright spots, however. The Chargers had the league’s top-ranked offense, with 395.6 yards per game, and scored 441 points, the second-highest in the NFL last season. Turner has coached football for 35 years, 27 of them in the NFL. One of five children raised by a single mom in the Bay Area suburb of Martinez, Turner played football in high school and college, and coached at the University of Southern California and Los Angeles Rams under John Robinson before becoming offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys in 1991, where he helped the team win back-to-back Super Bowls. He later served as head coach for the Oakland Raiders and Washington Redskins before joining the Chargers at the start of the 2007 season. n To read more on Turner and the Chargers, go to www.lajollalight.com.

Outrigger canoe club focuses on giving back to community By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com Most San Diegans are well aware of the many different ways to enjoy the ocean. But when it comes to outrigger canoe paddling, it’s a water sport with a devoted niche that has yet to gain steam in the mainstream like kayaking or surfing. If David Bucsit has it his way, that will all change. Bucsit is the founder of Kapolioka’ehukai (Heart of the Sea) Outrigger Canoe Club, an organization that’s mission statement is two-fold. Not only does he want to raise awareness of the Pacific Islander culture, he also wants his club to represent something more. “We have been trying to promote our club within the Pacific Islander community, but not only that, we’re trying to get everyone involved because the mission of our club is environment awarerell ness and cancer research awareness,” Sunn said Bucsit, who is also in his 11th year as a police officer with the city of San Diego. The club’s name is in honor of the late Rell Kapolioka’ehukai Sunn, a surfing and outrigger canoe pioneer who gave back to the community by helping troubled youth learn about the water sports in Hawaii. She died of breast cancer in 1998. “She was just the ultimate waterwomen and we are just trying to emulate her and what she did,” Bucsit said. “not only in the water but in the community.” The club’s first major fundraising event is in honor of Rell, which will include a movie screening of the docu-

CourtesY mentary “Heart of the Sea.” The event will take place at the Arterra Outdoor Lounge at the Del Mar Marriott (11966 El Camino Real) on Aug. 27. “Those people who don’t know who she was will gain a great deal of knowledge of who she was and what she did for her community.” Proceeds for the event go to the Rell Sunn Educational Fund for cancer research and education. After the fundraising event, the club will focus on the fall and winter race seasons for outrigger canoe and stand-up paddling events. “We will be competing with clubs all up and down the state,” Bucsit said. n For more information on Kapolioka’ehukai Outrigger Canoe Club, visit www.heartoftheseacanoeclub.com.

Top to reasons why La Jolla Youth Baseball is cool By Tom murPhy LJYB The bats, bags, gloves and cleats are finally put away and the 2011 baseball season is officially over for La Jolla Youth Baseball. Before we head off into the fall sports season, let’s reflect for a moment and with the help of David Letterman’s “Top Ten” crew, what are some of the things that makes LJYB such a great youth sports program. No. 10: LJYB plays PONY Baseball (Protect Our Nations Youth) — a brand of baseball that we believe is safer than Little League and other youth systems because it gradually expands the size of fields to grow with the players. No. 9: LJYB has partnered with the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), a 501(c)3 nonprofit whose aim is to transform the culture of youth sports to ensure that all youth athletes will have a positive, character-building experience. No. 8: LJYB has the best fields in town. No. 7: Snack! Nothing cures a tough loss quite like the power
of a post-game snack. No. 6: Hanging Out: Somehow baseball seems to foster the art of hanging out more than other organized sports No. 5: Post-Season Tournaments and All Stars: LJYB believes the more kids that get exposed to post-season tournaments, the better our league will be. No. 4: Community: LJYB is a community of 40 teams across 5 divisions that includes 420 players and their families. No. 3: Team Sports: Kids learn a lot of important life lessons playing team sports. No. 2: Volunteers: LJYB has the best volunteers in the world. There are somewhere between 80-100 volunteer coaches and managers who commit their time 3-4 days per week for up to 6 months. No. 1: Sponsors: We would not be able to play baseball in La Jolla without the generous support of our 60+ sponsors. Roughly 50 percent of the LJYB operating budget comes from the donations. n For a more in-depth look at LJYB’s Top 10, go to www.lajollalight.com.

Micah Parzen brings new view and vision to Museum of Man Micah Parzen, who grew up in La Jolla, is the executive director of the San Diego Museum of Man in Balboa Park. He has a unique professional background that includes a doctorate in anthropology, Micah expertise as an employment Parzen attorney and business counselor, and significant nonprofit leadership experience as a board member for ElderHelp of San Diego and the San Diego Volunteer Lawyers Program. Prior to joining the Museum of Man, Parzen was a partner at Luce, Hamilton & Scripps, LLP, where he served as the firm’s pro bono program coordinator. After nearly a year at the helm of the region’s only museum of anthropology and archeology, Parzen has brought in a series of panels and exhibits to prove that anthropology can be intriguing and relevant. The recently opened exhibit, “Modern Day Mummy: The Art & Science of Mummification,” educates visitors about this ancient technique and showcases multiple mummies, including a man that was mummified in the mid-1990s. What brought you to La Jolla? My parents packed our bags and moved my three older brothers and me from Chicago in 1971. As a 1 1/2-year-old, I didn’t have much say in the decision, but I can confidently report it was a great one. My mom was very involved in the Museum of Contemporary Art and the richness of the cultural community was a critical component of our upbringing. It made an enormous imprint on my life.

Music lovers will have a chance to ponder the mysteries of composition and hear new works at the La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest concert “Commissions and Premieres,” 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug.19 in Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art. “There is tremendous excitement in the air over this concert. This is music that no one has heard before. It is like we are witnessing the birth of something very special and brand new,” said LJMS CEO Christopher Beach. Adds LJMS Music Director Cho-Liang Lin, “This concert will be at the cutting edge. People will see what the current generation is doing and where the next generation is going. This is a glimpse into the future of American classical music.” The four composers and their compositions are Sean Shepherd with “Oboe Quartet,” Marc-Andre Dalbavie with “Piano Quartet,” Joan Tower with

What makes this area special to you? It is the nostalgia I feel about wandering the streets from Bird Rock to downtown La Jolla as young person finding my way in the world. There’s a memory on virtually every street corner for me.
W
ith dozens of world-class musicians in La Jolla through Aug. 26 for the annual chamber music festival, The Light will bring you “celebrity” sighting photos each week to reveal how some are spending their time in The Jewel.
If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would bring back the Unicorn Theater on La Jolla Boulevard.

Calit2 broadcast invites viewer input via the Web By Steven Mihailovich Although you can occasionally see history in the making on television, you can’t make history by watching television. However, the University of California San Diego is attempting just that with airings of “Kamza and Bar Kamza” this month on UCSD-TV. Two years in the making, the broadcasts of the previously staged performance will be synchronized with live Web content to allow interactive viewer participation as the musical drama progresses. Once the data is tabulated by researchers at Schlomo the UCSD Dubnov branch of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2), the audience input could have broader implications for a whole host of subjects such as education, performance arts, conferencing and even computers that can interpret emotions, according to Schlomo Dubnov, UCSD professor of music and director of Calit2’s Center for Research in Entertainment and Learning, which is conduct-

This is where the potential is. A lot of learning already incorporates these technologies, but for a specific lesson. But, in art, we don’t have a specific lesson.” Created by Dubnov, “Kamza and Bar Kamza,” is a tale based on the Jewish Talmud about two men involved in events that triggered the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by Roman armies

The stage production was first performed at Calit2’s Auditorium on campus on March 5, 2008 and starred vocalist Phil Larson and percussionist Steve Schick, both UCSD music professors, according to Doug Ramsey, spokesman for Calit2. During the original stage performance, Ramsey said the approximately 120 audience members were able to access supplemental information about the play, such as historical background and Talmudic interpretations among others, from laptops as well as engage in question-and-answer chats and analysis whose contents were flashed across a screen. The TV broadcasts will replicate the stage experience Dubnov said, allowing home

Refusing to die by National Geographics
Let Inga tell you ... Every once in a while, I channel surf into one of the hoarder shows. My first response is always to wonder how people can ever let this happen. Then I remember that not only have I seen this in person, but also the hoarder gene is alive and well in me. As I visited various relatives over the years, it became clear to me that the tendency to accumulate what could politely be referred to as an excessive number of possessions — particularly books and National Geographics — clearly runs in the family. Books I understand, but what is it about National Geographics that make people hang on to them forever? I know people even outside my family who have moved 12 times and while the dining room set or even the kids don’t always make the cut, the National Geographics invariably end up on the truck. I know sets of National Geographics that have seen more of the U.S. than most campaign buses. Although it has some serious competition, the most egregious example of mass accumulation in my own
genetic network is the ancestral home in Hard-ToGet-There, Ohio, which has been continuously in the family since 1865. Let me just say that you can acquire a lot of stuff in 140 years. The last surviving occupant, my favorite aunt, died five years ago. My aunt encompassed the Hoarder Big 3: child of the Depression, ardent conservationist, and OCD packrat (maybe that’s four). It was a hoarder perfect storm. The place was an absolute treasure trove of wonderful old stuff — Ladies Home Journals from the 1880s, gorgeous oil lamps, ornate ewers — intermixed, alas, with multiple cases of 40-year-old Jell-O, cartons of ratty underwear preserved in 1962 newspaper, and a huge freezer that was a veritable biohazard. Then there were the 10,000-plus books, three deep in the bookcases. Every letter I ever received from my aunt was written on the back of a piece of recycled junk mail. I have to confess that when I went to visit her, the first thing I did was to check the latch on the upstairs bedroom window to make sure I could get out onto the roof and jump in case of fire. Because with the piles of old newspapers (which she intended to use for mulch for her gardens) and magazines (you can guess which kind) stacked up in every hallway, I figured I’d have approximately seven seconds to hurl myself out the win-

dow. I simply refused to have my Cause of Death be listed as “National Geographics.” Little did I know what a firetrap the place really was. After my aunt died, we ordered up several 35-foot dumpsters and started dumping all the flattened cardboard boxes that had been on the back veranda in ever-increasing piles for as long as anyone could remember. I suddenly saw the color drain out of my husband’s face. Underneath it
all was coal: 800 pounds of coal. The old coal burning stove, unused for decades, was still in the living room. I suddenly realized that the seven seconds of escape time I always thought I’d had was actually two. My tiny garage-less cottage could fit in the living rooms of a lot of La Jolla homes so I try to keep it as uncluttered as possible. Recently, I did a major clean out and packed up 12 big bags of stuff for Goodwill. Loading them into
the car, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Maybe something valuable had gotten in there by mistake. I unpacked it all and rechecked it. And then a third time. “You don’t need any of this stuff,” I repeated over and over all the way over to Goodwill. As the attendant helped me unload, my hands shook with a paralyzing anxiety. “You OK?” he asked. After I drove off, I had an overwhelming urge to loop
back, throw myself on their unloading dock dumpster and scream, “Give me back my stuff!” I didn’t, but all the way home I thought I’d throw up. A few nights later, I channel surfed into a hoarder show. I was just about to shake my head in wonder at how they let the place get so bad when I had to admit: I know. I really know. — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in The Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

La Jolla residents help bring clean water to African village By Jenna Jay A vision by La Jolla-based NIKA Water company to use its profits to bring clean water to parts of the world living without the vital necessity has spawned a global initiative. Together with the organizations, Free the Children, and Me to We, NIKA cofounders Jeff Church and Mike Stone assembled a crew of 50 family members, friends and business distributors for a June 20-27 trip to the Maasai Mara in southwestern Kenya. There in the Pimbiniet village, the volunteers helped construct buildings, interact with locals, and participate in a water ceremony to celebrate the first streams of clean water pumped into the village through a pipe system. “What was funny was what the locals said when they first drilled and the water started coming out clear,” said Tom Keck of La Jolla whose family went on the trip and witnessed the water ceremony. “People looked and said, ‘We can’t drink that; it’s not yellow.’ “ Bringing clean water to the African village is just one of four initiatives that Free
the Children has put into place as goals to the village’s self-sustainability. The fourstep model is one that NIKA CEO Jeff Church said he sought when searching for a non-profit organization for his company’s profits. “We only work with NGOs (non-governmental organizations) that have a holistic approach to poverty,” Church said, “and by that I mean a focus on bringing clean water, providing ways for people in the village to create income for themselves, health care, and education. It’s kind of like a four-legged stool.” In African villages, such as Pimbiniet in Kenya, women called “mamas” cannot attend school because they spend their days walking to and from the river to carry

water to their villages. By implementing this four-step plan, mamas can focus on developing income instead of on transporting water, and coupled with health care and education, the village can improve its overall stature. Volunteers on the trip helped with the water initiative as well as embracing the culture through interactions with the children, Maasai warriors and tribe mamas. “We went on a water walk with some of the mamas,” said 12-year-old Bishop’s student Lily Keck, who asked for donations for Free the Children in lieu of gifts for her birthday last month. “My favorite memory was with all the school kids. I had to go down to lunch so I was walking with them and I had no idea where I was going and they were all holding my hand, bringing me down to their lunch.” Seeing their efforts and the efforts of NIKA Water put to use was something Lily’s father Tom said he took away from the trip. “What was neat was we have watched Mike and Jeff start NIKA; we kind of knew that it was about clean water and it was a good cause, but this allowed us to see firsthand where those profits go and the good that it

Sammy’s serves up a lot more than pizza these days By Kelley Carlson ammy’s Woodfired Pizza is perhaps best known for its namesake pies. But that’s just a slice of the offerings from this restaurant chain whose flagship site is in La Jolla. General manager Russ Henschel recommends coming in for an early dinner at the La Jolla location (around 5 p.m., before the rush begins) and sitting on the newly remodeled patio, which provides an airy feeling. Find a spot in one of the reupholstered white booths and gaze up at yellow, white, orange and pink flowers hanging from baskets between pillars, or glance at the patio sides with the “living walls” of plants. A fireplace sparks interest in the center; a white awning provides some shade while it’s still light outside. To kick off the meal, Henschel suggests ordering the Mini Duck Tacos, which are topped with feta cheese, tomatoes, cabbage and creamy tomato-cilantro sauce. Other tapas from which to choose include Hummus and Parmesan Crusted Artichokes, or there are soups such as Kobe Beef Chile. Next, “order one of our fresh salads,” Henschel said. The most popular is the Balsamic Grilled Chicken Salad, but options also include Chilled Roast Vegetable and White Tuna and Spinach. “Top it off with a pizza,” he added. “You can’t go wrong with

There are also rustic Neapolitan and artisan thin crust pizzas. Guests who desire an entree other than pizza can select from pastas, tacos, mini burgers, sandwiches, wraps and specialties such as Oak Roasted Salmon Filet and Grilled London Broil.
To finish the meal, order Sammy’s signature dessert, the Messy Sundae, Henschel said. Children have a special menu that includes pizzas, salad and pastas, and kids can color on it while they wait for their meal. Besides the patio, there are other areas of the restaurant to nosh on food. Inside, there are the main dining room, bar and “east side” that are decorated in warm, earthy tones, with wood tabletops, brown
booths and some walls that incorporate stone. Large windows provide views of the businesses and pedestrians along Pearl Street and Draper Avenue. A TV high up on one wall broadcasts sporting events; top 40 music plays in the background. Patrons seated at the bar can get a glimpse of the staff creating pizzas and baking them in the woodfired oven. A private room that seats 14 is similarly decorated to the other areas, but also features a pair of prancing horse sculptures on a narrow ledge with wine bottles stored in racks neatly above them. There is no charge for the use of the room, but there is a two-hour limit, Henschel said. Sammy’s often fills up with guests after 7 p.m. during the summer, and they often stay late, although as the days get shorter, the dinner rush starts around 6 p.m., Henschel said. Late-lunch clientele often arrive between 3 and 4 p.m., and Saturday afternoons are busy as well, he added. The restaurant frequently hosts fundraisers, with Sammy’s donating 20 percent of a bill (not including gratuity) to a specific nonprofit on a designated night. “Our commitment to customer service, along with the standard of the kitchen, what we serve and the ingredients we use are what makes Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza stand out,” Henschel said.

The New Yorker magazine has called her “One of the most successful woman composers of all time.” Tower earned her D.M.A. from Columbia University and is on the faculty of Bard College. Her composition, “Made in America,” which was recorded by the Nashville Symphony in 2008, won three Grammy Awards, including Best Orchestration, Best

RE TRENDS
Make sure your lender can perform in short sale or REO Let’s face it — short sales and REOs are going to be with us for a while. After waiting, sometimes months for lender approval, the buyer of a short sale is often required to close within a very tight time frame. This can also be true of REO/bank foreclosures. Not having a lender who can perform will place your transaction in jeopardy. Buyers and buyer’s agents need to seek out quality lenders who can commit to closing within these time frames (oftentimes seven to 10 days) of the short sale lender approval or execution of the REO contract. In addition, the lender should provide the tools to assist in getting the offer accepted over the competition by providing full DU (desktop underwriting) approvals, accessibility for questions and overall exceptional customer service. Don’t get caught at the end of your transaction with a lender who needs another 30 days to approve your loan. It’s a tough market — work only with lending professionals who have a thorough knowledge and understanding of short sales and REO transactions. -- Contributed by the La Jolla Real Estate Broker’s Association, REBA. www.lajollareba.com.
