By Pat Sherman After sitting vacant for the past few years, the spacious, three-story Wall Street Plaza, at the corner of Wall Street and Girard Avenue, is on the market. The former site of Jack’s La Jolla restaurant, which closed in 2009 due to nonpayment of taxes, is being offered for purchase through auction.com. The building is owned by an investment group, and sits upon land owned by the Meanley family of Meanley Ace Hardware (established in 1948 by Ellen Browning Scripps’ niece Nackey Scripps Meanley, her husband, Tom, and son, William). Though the starting bid is $1.2 million, Phil Wise, a senior vicepresident with Colliers International real estate agency, said he feels its investor-owners are seeking upward of $4 million for the property.
INSIDE
The Red Roost and Red Rest (Neptune) cottages, built in 1894, have been decaying eyesores on Coast Boulevard for more than three decades. Historic designations prevent the owner from demolishing the structures and developing the property, leading to what some say has been willful negligence in upkeep.
Crumbling historic cottages ‘roost’ in perpetual limbo n La Jolla Light’s two-part series on The Village’s historic beach cottages (Part 1 was published in the Aug. 30 issue) continues this week with an update on the ongoing saga of the Red Rest and Red Roost cottages on Coast Boulevard.

BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS The La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC) studied plans for two custom homes during its Aug. 28 meeting, before moving each matter to its Sept. 25 meeting for further review. Both homes will be developed as single-family residences on neighborhood plots in The Shores that have existing houses set for demolition. A nearly 8,000-square-foot house will replace a 2,484- square-foot house, garage and pool at 8415 Avenida De Las Ondas with a new two-story development, having a wine cellar, exercise pavilion and new retaining walls.

By Pat Sherman or decades, tourists and locals have wondered how an unsightly anomaly has been allowed to fester across from the world-famous La Jolla Cove, pairing nature at its best and neglect at its seeming worst. Since the late 1970s, two examples of La Jolla’s historic beach bungalow architecture have largely been left to the elements, permitted to crumble as trees and weedy vegetation suffocated them. Through the years, the Red Rest and Red Roost cottages have remained a top priority for the nonprofit Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO), which once sued the city over them, claiming officials failed to enforce ordinances regarding the upkeep of historic structures, and the general abandonment and willful neglect of properties. “It’s our biggest, longest-running frustration,” SOHO’s executive director, Bruce Coons, said. “The city has the power to fine them, confiscate the property and sell it to somebody else to make something happen, but they haven’t been willing to do any of that.” In October of 2008, the city filed suit against the owner of the cottages, Cove Properties, Inc.,

New! Finally a solution for fine lines! San Diego State University’s Aztecs mens basketball coach, Steve Fisher.
Join us for our Open House Friday September 7 9am to 7pm
COURTESY
SDSU’s Steve Fisher talks B-ball at Rotary luncheon The Rotary Club of La Jolla achieved a minor coup in securing San Diego State University head basketball coach Steve Fisher as guest speaker at its Aug. 28 luncheon. During his presentation, Fisher touted the Aztecs’ success during the past decade. When he took the job in 1999, he couldn’t have given Aztecs’ tickets away in the cafeteria, he quipped. At that time, the men’s basketball team had not been to the postseason since its NCAA appearance in 1984-1985. Today, the games all sell
out and the student body section at Viejas arena, known officially as “The Show,” is one of the top three student fan bases in the country, known for its colorful and vocal support. Fisher has guided SDSU to the NCAA Tournament in 2002, 2006, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and the postseason NIT in 2003, 2007, 2008 and 2009, with the 2010-2011 season being the Aztecs’ first 30-win season in the university’s history. A former high school math teacher, Fisher said he wants his team to focus on
the Final Four, not just getting into the playoffs. Rotarian Ron Jones said the group was able to secure Fisher as a speaker through Rotarian Bob Schroeder and wife, Pat, who are Aztecs’ season ticket holders and friends with Fisher. Also in attendance with Fisher was SDSU’s Associate Athletic Director, Bob Moosbrugger. The Aztecs will face Syracuse in the Battle on the Midway aboard the USS Midway Museum flight deck at 4 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 9. — La Jolla Light staff
Dyslexia Association to hold motivational youth event The San Diego branch of the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) will host an Empower Youth symposium for children, ages 10-18, and their parents from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Oct. 6 at the Garfield Theater in the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive in La Jolla. The goal of the event is to inspire pre-teen and teen students with learning differences, such as dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), auditory processing disorder and non-verbal learning disabilities, who struggle to succeed academically and emotionally. As much as 20 percent of the population has some form of a learning disability, which can cause a person to have trouble learning and using certain skills, according to the IDA. This can affect self-image, leaving students feeling less capable than
they actually are. Among the symposium presenters will be Jonathan Mooney and Christian Moore. Mooney is an author, speaker and successful college graduate. As a child, Mooney was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, and told he would never succeed. Today, he travels across America telling his story of how he used humor, imagination and resiliency to make his way in a world that didn’t understand him. Moore was a learningchallenged student with disabilities. While in college, he began asking the question: “Why try?” Today, Moore is a motivational speaker and his WhyTry program is used in more than 16,000 schools across the country. Tickets, $25-$35, can be purchased at (858) 362-1348 or dyslexiasd.org/events or empoweryouthsd.org

Rotary Foundation announces annual charitable gifts
FROM COTTAGES, A1
The Rotary Club of La Jolla announced the recipients of $20,100 in grants to nonprofit La Jolla organizations from its Florence Riford Community Fund. Riford La Jolla Community Fund advisory committee members Bob Teaff, Pat Stouffer, Cindy Greatrex, Ron Jones and Rotary club president Kate Adams determined this year’s selection. Awardees include La Jolla High School’s drama department, which received $2,500 for a stage scissor lift; Athenaeum Music and Arts Library, which received $3,000 to digitize its collection; $2,000 to the Greater La Jolla Meals on Wheels program; $2,150 to La Jolla Christmas Parade Foundation; $3,000 to Partnerships with Industry (which creates jobs for adults with disabilities, including the grounds crew at The Bishop’s School); $2,500 for UCSD’s Summerbridge program; and $5,000 for the Friends of La Jolla Shores to pay off an awning covering the bronze statue of J.J. the gray whale in Kellogg Park.
a subsidiary of the corporation that owns the adjacent La Jolla Cove Suites. The criminal complaint cited numerous violations of San Diego’s municipal code, including: allowing graffiti to remain on the structures; failing to maintain an unoccupied designated historical resource in a manner that preserves its historical integrity; failing to lock, barricade or secure all doors windows and openings in a vacant structure; and failure to remove litter, waste and excessive vegetation from the yard. However, in January of 2010 the city dismissed its complaint against the owner. Asked why this occurred, Chief Deputy City Attorney Diane Silva-Martinez paused for 30 seconds, then said, “I don’t know the actual reason, but I think generally it would be because we can’t squeeze blood out of a turnip and they didn’t have the money to comply.” She added that the owners claimed to have spent $28,000 defending the criminal complaint. “They have been trying to

and Hotel Apartments (today known as the La Jolla Cove Suites) purchased the property on which the red cottages are situated in 1967, which included the La Jolla Bath House, later demolished to make way for the annex portion of La Jolla Cove Suites. The owners also intended to demolish the red cottages and construct an apartment building on the site, though they met with resistance from the community. In 1975, the San Diego City Council withdrew its objection to demolition of the cottages, though the owners never obtained the required development permit. In March 1976, unbeknownst to the owners, the cottages were placed on the register

of the California Office of Historic Preservation. That designation, and a subsequent designation from the National Register of Historic Places, have largely prevented the owners from proceeding with demolition. Denied permission to develop the property as they wished, in 1977 the owners evicted the tenants and began to engage in what appears to be prolonged neglect of the cottages. Between 2001 and 2006, the property was embroiled in litigation among various parties maintaining shares of the property, though that litigation — which froze assets and prevented the owners from proceeding with preservation or development — has long
been resolved. Both Coons and SilvaMartinez said Krista Baroudi, part of the cottages’ family ownership and chief executive officer of La Jolla Cove Suites, has demonstrated willingness to develop the property in a way that includes restoration and preservation of the cottages. However, Baroudi said the down economy and the prospect of repairing the cottages have made potential development partnerships unattractive to investors. Numerous such deals have fallen through during the past decade, she said. One plan, that never materialized, was to renovate and move the cottages

One of the historic red cottages on Coast Boulevard as it appeared before its owners allowed it to slowly decay through decades of neglect. FROM COTTAGES, A6 forward on the property and build a three-story boutique hotel behind them, though the hotel would have to be cantilevered and built into the hillside, which proved unattractive to development partners, said Baroudi and her attorney, Richard Annen. “It’s an expensive means of developing,” Annen said. “The other challenge is, if you’re going to put anything on that property — condos, timeshares, anything — you also are going to have to put in parking. There’s a tremendous cost to putting in underground parking, which would mean moving or lifting up the red houses and setting them somewhere else while you’re doing that.” As to what will actually happen with the property, Baroudi said, “We’re still trying to figure that out. It’s what’s in the best interest of the property and the community.” Annen said Baroudi and her family are interviewing architects this month to put together a design plan for the red cottages, which they hope to submit to city planners by the end of the year or early next year. Coons gave Baroudi credit for paying to have a historic site report conducted on the cottages, which found that the cottages could be restored. However, Baroudi and Annen disagree with the report’s findings. They argue that the cottages cannot be restored and instead must be demolished and replicated, at a cost of about $250,000 apiece. “That report did conclude that they were viable for a restoration,” Annen said. “We think that’s in error. Every contractor that has looked at that property for
us has confirmed that there’s essentially not a usable board in the building. “Let’s put it this way,” Annen added. “If anyone wants to enter them, you’re required to sign a release, because if you fall through the floor, you’re going to pay your own medical bills. The structures on the outside and the timbers are preserved, but it isn’t like you’re going to put a new coat of paint on them here, and a new door there, and you’re set to go.” Silva-Martinez said the city continues to keep tabs on the cottages and assure the owners are in compliance. “They agreed to check in with us every 60 days to keep us informed on their progress in obtaining developers or investors. We enforce the law as prosecutors,” SilvaMartinez said, noting that with an historic structure, the owner is required to keep the property weatherproofed and free of litter and excess vegetation. However, a recent visit to the site by the La Jolla Light showed that weatherproofing tarps covering the site were in a tattered condition, and vegetation surrounding the buildings was overgrown. Baroudi said that because of the cottages’ fragile state she has been layering the tarps, rather than removing the old ones as they wear thin. In response to the Light’s inquiry about the cottages’ condition, Baroudi sent a contractor out to begin repairing the tarps late last month, though her attorney said the work was halted shortly after. “A worker’s foot went through the roof and another worker inside had his foot go through a floor
The Red Roost and Red Rest (Neptune) cottages on Coast Boulevard have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and with the California Office of Historic Preservation since the late 1970s. They have also been deteriorating for more than three decades.

board,” Annen said, via e-mail. “Neither were injured, but Krista had them stop work until she can meet with them to ensure that the installation of new tarps can be done in a manner that does not put any worker at risk of injury.” Danna Nichols, a deputy city attorney with the code enforcement unit, assured that the tarps would be replaced, excess vegetation removed and any other code violations corrected, though she said there are certain portions of the case she could not discuss. “Now that we are aware (of the potential violations), they should be taken care of very quickly,” she said. “I don’t think that the city is giving the property owner so much leeway. … They are on very tight, 60-day deadlines.
While it looks like there’s not a lot of movement … it takes a lot of back work. … Each deadline has different requirements.” For now, Baroudi said she is “interviewing architects for the entitlement process,” a legal method of obtaining required approvals to develop property for a desired use. However, it is a process that could take several more years to complete. “The family has nobody else, at this point in time, who’s interested in (developing) this, but they’ve made the decision, we’re going to move forward,” Annen said. “If they can get the property entitled for a viable development, then a developer may be more likely to come in and partner with them because the ground work has already been done.”

T O D A Y by Janet Douglas Vacation Home Buyers Stay Close to Home
More buyers are being lured to the idea of purchasing a second home thanks to bargain prices in many areas. But with the rising cost of travel and more cost conscious buying habits, many of those buyers are bypassing typical vacation hot spots and resorts and choosing to buy a vacation home closer to their primary residence. The median distance between the buyer's primary residence and vacation home shrank 19% from 2010 to 2011. The median distance in the most current survey is 305 miles according to the National Association of Realtors housing data. A growing number of buyers are older and are also seeking vacation homes that could transition into retirement homes in the future. Furthermore, vacation homebuyers are purchasing second homes with the idea to rent them out to help offset costs, which has also made staying closer to their second home appealing. People want to stay within driving distance because they're more able to maintain the homes. They have better networks in place and friends and family nearby to use and sustain the homes.

This two-story, luxury office building at 7938 Ivanhoe Ave. in La Jolla is for sale at $7.75 million. COURTESY FROM BUILDINGS, A1 The buyer would also have to pay a five percent override fee to cover the expense of the auction, Wise said. The 17-unit property, which currently has only one tenant, Panera Bread, includes 35,997 square feet of mixed-use retail and office space. Wise said the space has proved difficult for retailers, because customers have to go up or down a flight of stairs to access the building. “With this particular property (built in the 1980s), there are structural changes you have to make to the building to make it more user-friendly,” he said, noting that it could cost the buyer an additional $2 million-plus in renovations, plus rent owed to the Meanley family and the cost of a reciprocal parking agreement with the owners of the adjacent Brooks Brothers building. “It doesn’t work as office space, and it never did,” Wise said. “You need some kind of really good, synergistic food concept. … When you fix up (and sell) that building the (commercial real estate) numbers will be really good in La Jolla.” Wise said there is currently a 5- to 5.5-percent commercial real estate vacancy rate in The Village, the largest components of which are Wall Street Plaza and four small retail spaces across from Eddie V’s restaurant on Prospect Street. “If you take a look by La Jolla Elementary School (on Girard Avenue), there are no vacancies down there, and there used to always be vacancies,” he said. “Contrary to what everybody’s whining about, the retail market has done very well.” Luxury office space on Ivanhoe Also on the market is a 13,701-squarefoot, two-story office building at 7938 Ivanhoe Ave., which includes 1,221-squarefeet of retail space on the ground floor, 6,173-square feet of office space on the
second story, and a 13-car garage. The property is listed at $7.75 million. “It is an expensive property,” said Wise, who is handling the listing, “but without a doubt this makes sense for the right buyer.” The building is owned by The Focus Group real estate development agency, which purchased and developed the property around 2006, where a vacant wood cottage once stood. The property has been occupied by the Focus Group, whose owner is moving the offices to his property in Hillcrest. Famed architect’s properties for sale Also on the market this month are various commercial assets of The Shepherd Trust, originally developed by La Jolla architect Thomas Shepherd, who arrived in La Jolla in 1926, creating homes and spaces inspired by his travels in Japan and Europe. It is the first time the properties, built between 1929 and 1959, have been offered for purchase. The properties — offered upon the death of Shepherd’s son, the final beneficiary of the trust — require some capital investment, Wise said. “It’s an excellent opportunity for someone to come in and bring them up to current standards,” he said. “You have to invest time and money and effort.” The Shepherd Trust properties and listing prices include: n 1115-1113 Wall St., two-story office over retail space, $1.6 million n 7850 Ivanhoe Ave., 4,714-square-foot office space, $1.45 million n 7441-7445 Girard Ave., two-story office over retail, $2.2 million n 7423 Girard Ave., fee with ground lease, $550,000 n 7438-7470 Girard Ave., two-story office over retail, $10 million n 7443-7447 Fay Ave., 7,000 square-foot parcel with house, $1.65 million.
The interior of the building at 7938 Ivanhoe Ave. includes several office spaces with contemporary designs.

Researchers find heat waves are moving toward coasts Research Report
La Jolla Pop Warner A launches 2012 season
By LynnE Friedmann
By Scott Rosecrans La Jolla Pop Warner President Here is the rundown about our games on Saturday, Sept. 1: The Torrey Flag team (1-1) got its first victory of the season with a 19-7 victory over the visiting Santee Ravens. The Mitey Mite squad had a tough day against a very talented Santee team. The final score was 0-34, but the Torreys (1-1) played hard and had fun in spite of the final score. In a defensive struggle the Torrey Junior Pee Wees (1-1) came up one play short in a 0-6 loss to the Santee Ravens. The game was as close as the score suggested and was feverishly contested by each teams. Both teams played an amazing game! In another low scoring contest the La Jolla Pee Wee squad (1-1) lost a close one to the Santee Ravens 2-6. Expect these teams to meet again in the post season, in
what will likely be another very competitive game. The Torrey Junior Midget team (2-0) dominated the visiting Santee Ravens with a 34-6 victory. The game was never in question as the Torrey offense scored early and often. By the second quarter, the second- and third-string players took over for the starters and gained a lot of valuble game experience that should benefit them as the season progresses. To round out the day, the La Jolla Unlimited (2-0) squad overcame a 6-12 halftime defecit to post a 32-18 victory over the visiting Castle Park Trojans. Cole Burmeister connected with Colton Punches on two deep passes for scores in the second half to open up the game. Jack Lashchuk had an impressive performance on defense dropping Trojans in the backfield seemingly at will. To learn more, visit lajollapopwarner.org

Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego study suggests that the nature of California heat waves is changing toward more humid heat leading to elevated nighttime temperatures in what were previously cooler coastal areas where most of the state’s population resides. Consistent with climate-change projections, the trend carries major implications for more than 21 million Californians. Classic California heat waves are characterized by interior desert and valley conditions that are hot and dry during the day with pronounced nighttime cooling. Observations and computer modeling by researchers indicates that greater humidity and greater nighttime temperatures in coastal areas will intensify in coming decades. In other words, what has been considered extreme heat in the past is gradually becoming commonplace. The trend could lead to a variety of changes in California’s coastal communities, such as the installation of air conditioners in homes traditionally not in need of cooling. This, in turn, would affect energy demand. High humidity and lingering nighttime heat are also expected to lead to more heatrelated illness in coastal areas during heat waves unless effective heat-emergency plans are implemented. — The study appears in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

Salk discovery may help protect crops The most severe drought in 25 years is impacting crops across the United States, with the potential to wipe out farmers’ incomes and raise food prices. Curbing crops’ susceptibility to certain stressors could allow for higher yields during droughts and possibly allow drier climates to support
profitable crops and feed the world’s growing population. This might be possible following the discovery by Salk Institute for Biological Studies scientists of a key genetic switch by which plants control their response to ethylene gas, a natural plant hormone best known for its ability to ripen fruit. During times of flooding, drought, chilling, wounding, or pathogen attack, ethylene directs plants to make growth adjustments to these adverse changes. The Salk discovery reveals a key step in how plants sense – or “smell” – ethylene gas, which may ultimately lead to ways to manipulate the ethylene on/off switch, allowing plants to thrive in tough conditions. — Findings appear in the journal Science. News release at http://bit.ly/QG7Sns Opah research underway in Eastern Pacific Ocean Opah, a pelagic fish that occurs seasonally in the Southern California waters, are taken incidentally in both recreational fisheries for tuna and the California drift gillnet fishery for swordfish. In recent years there appears to have been an upsurge in opah catch and the rich meat has become increasingly popular in seafood markets. Despite their value to commercial and recreational fishermen, little basic biology and ecology of opah is known. To fill data gaps, the Southwest Fisheries Science Center, La Jolla, began collecting biological samples from opah in 2009 and initiated an electronic tagging program in 2011. Analyses of this data reveals a wealth of information, such as the opah caught off California is a different species than those caught off Hawaii. Opah also appear to have a unique gill arch structure that may explain the fish’s ability to forage to depths of 200 meters. Such basic life history information will aid future population assessments and management. Combined with historical records, correlations may be uncovered between opah abundance with changes in sea surface conditions such as El Niño and La Niña. — More information at http://1.usa.gov/OzjFR5 Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL BUSINESSES Model home grand opening in Paseo La Jolla community
Paseo La Jolla opens its model homes for public viewing starting Sept. 8.
COURTESY
Paseo La Jolla — a stunning new enclave situated in the heart of La Jolla — will celebrate its model home grand opening on Saturday, Sept. 8. Guests will have refreshments on the rooftop deck from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., while admiring the stunning coastal La Jolla locale. The two-bedroom plus den, 2.5 bath model home features a calming color palette of sand, ocean blue and cream hues, inspired by La Jolla’s beachfront location. The beachy model has a light, airy feel and is outfitted with handsome California Coastal style architecture with craftsman, stucco and stone accents. Paseo La Jolla — one of the first new home developments to open in the village in years — is situated at the corners of Pearl and Herschel, just a few blocks away from the bustling shopping district and in close proximity to the very best of La Jolla, including elementary and high schools, the beach, shops, restaurants, galleries and more. Priced from the low $700,000s to just over $1 million, the new 24-unit luxury townhome community offers 1,000- to over 1,600-square foot homes with one, two and three bedroom floor plans.
Homeowners will appreciate the elegance and simplicity of the model home, while envisioning a wide range of design options that can be implemented into each available floor plan. “Homebuyers are encouraged to personalize their residence — selecting either a traditional or contemporary motif – or for a more eclectic look, elements of both,” said Brad Termini, Co-CEO of Zephyr Partners, a real estate development and investment company with a focus on residential assets. A broad selection of cabinets, flooring, fixtures and other fine touches are offered, and homeowners can work with designers, to personalize their homes. The majority of the homes sport expansive private rooftop terraces, which offer views of La Jolla and the Pacific. Each home is beautifully appointed with a fireplace, soaring nine-foot-high ceilings in the living and dining rooms and master suites; gourmet kitchens with granite counter tops and topof-the-line appliances and an attached sideby-side two-car garage. Paseo La Jolla is at 1056 Pearl St. #1. The Sales Center is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday-Tuesday, closed Wednesday-Thursday. (858) 333-1884. paseolajolla.com

A 20-year-old La Jolla High School graduate who was known for his selfless spirit and love of pyrotechnics died after a fireworks explosion Friday afternoon, Aug. 31, in Riverside County. William Calabrese, an Eagle Scout and former captain of his water polo team at La Jolla High, died Sunday, Sept. 2, after sustaining third-degree burns over more than 90 percent of his body. He was helping with a fireworks show at the Diamond, a minor league baseball park where the Lake Elsinore Storm play. Calabrese was working for Fireworks America this summer before returning to finish his junior year at the University of California, Santa Barbara. A Cal Fire inspector and another person sustained minor injuries during the incident. Another employee of Fireworks America

was injured this summer during La Jolla’s Fourth of July fireworks show, when a mortar exploded on the ground. At press time, the cause of the accident was under investigation. Calabrese achieved his Eagle Scout ranking in La Jolla Boy Scout Troop 506 by establishing a William prayer garden at Pacific Calabrese Beach Christian Church. Friends and family met there Sunday night to mourn his passing. In a memorial posted on the La Jolla water polo club’s website, coach Tom Atwell offered a written eulogy, recalling Calabrese as someone who displayed more concern for others, than himself.

“Willie always did everything to the extreme,” Atwell wrote. “When the team shaved their heads in support of my wife during her battle with breast cancer, Willie took a razor to his, making sure not a follicle was left. “We will never be able to forget this great young man and will forever be able to look to his great example of selfless service, hard work and compassion. He will always be our teammate and friend. He will be missed beyond comprehension.” In addition to his parents, Ron and Janice, Calabrese is survived by a younger brother, Ronnie.

Last call for candidate questions for the District 1 city council debate Our View
A
ssociate Professor of Political Science at UC San Diego, Thad Kousser, will moderate a debate between District 1 city council candidates — incumbent Sherry Lightner (D) and challenger Ray Ellis (R) — from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 19 in the Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 700 Prospect St. Presented by La Jolla Light, the debate will begin with 3-minute opening statements from Lightner and Ellis, and then launch into their answers to questions from the community. The Light will grill the candidates about traffic congestion, infrastructure and environmental issues, and some social concerns, but YOUR thoughts and insights are needed, too. Mark the date on your calendar
and be sure to stop by and listen to the discourse. This election will be close! You may recall that in the June primary Ray Ellis received 14,133 (45.61 percent) of the votes cast and Sherri Lightner got 12,889 (41.59 percent). Each promises to lead and intercede for La Jollans, but there is a lot of work and a variety of plans on the horizon. Who can best help deliver them? The Light thanks Professor Kousser for agreeing to moderate the debate. He holds a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley (2002) and is an expert in state politics, legislatures and legislative elections. The debate will be videotaped and available on lajollalight.com the next day. Please send the questions you want answered via e-mail by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 11 to the editor at sdemaggio@lajollalight.com There will be also be question cards to fill out at the debate.

There’s an easy long-term fix for Cove bird stench Many years ago, people had easy access to the rocks above the Cove where the pelicans now roost. There was a low, wooden, fence, but it had intentional gaps to allow people to walk out on the rocks. I remember sitting there as a kid to watch the Rough Water Swim, and people often walked out there to enjoy the natural environment. Someone obviously decided that it was necessary to put up a taller, continuous fence that keeps people off the rocks. After that, the pelicans took up residency. Prior to the “new and improved” fence, there were no pelicans there, and hence there was no odor! My suggestion is to do whatever is environmentally sound to clean up the bird poop that is there now, and then take down the “peopleproof” fence so that everyone can once again venture out on the rocks. This will probably prevent the birds from roosting there in the future. Janet C. Harris La Jolla

Are vapors from rotting seaweed dangerous?

I was also wondering if the city cleans this area as they do others. I am new to Bird Rock and I am seeking to understand the city’s policies on removal of seaweed. The major problem seems to be near Searidge and Chelsea north of Tourmaline.

runoff. Is this a controversial ecological issue among La Jollans? In the evenings it is unbearable. The gasses creep further onshore and fill any room with open windows. Is this due to temperature inversion or changing wind direction? I have many questions regarding this issue, especially since learning the gas emitted is highly toxic. I assume others do as well and think it would be an interesting story.

SIO building blocks great, shoreline view I am a 30-year resident of La Jolla and I have been going up and down La Jolla Shores Drive to the hospital and the golf course at least weekly for most of those years. One of the great viewpoints in this area is the one when you make the turn coming down La Jolla Shores just south of La Jolla Lane. There you see a straight shot view of the Scripps Pier, La Jolla Shores Beach and the La Jolla Cove. I’ve followed the construction of various Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) buildings, including the one down hill where they were going to put the awful vent stacks on top to block the view. The community rose up and the stacks were reduced in size. Recently, I’ve seen the re-bar of the building coming up just down from the curve and it is clearly reaching up to block that entire “irreplaceable view.” How outrageous of the director of the SIO and the staff to so egregiously destroy a precious site. It is so selfish of a group of people who are given a special site, and in some cases preferential housing, to blight the coastline. It looks as though it’s too late to stop the construction, but SIO should be faulted forever for its lack of community citizenship. John Beaver La Jolla
OBITUARIES
Mary Hurley O’Neil Hazard 1919 – 2012
Mary Hurley was born August 26, 1919, in Palmer, MA, to John Edward Hurley and Jane Roche Hurley. She grew up in Longmeadow, MA, with her sister, Jane, and brothers, Jack and Bobby. She graduated from Classical High School in Springfield and Arlington Hall. Mary moved to Boston for a career with American Airlines, which fostered her wanderlust for travel.
She married William O’Neil in 1965 and moved to his hometown of Barrington, RI, where they enjoyed an active social life at the Rhode Island Country Club until Bill’s death in 1976. Mary remained close to the O’Neil stepchildren. Mary was a regular visitor to La Jolla, CA, where she visited Jane and John Murphy, her sister and brother-in-law. She subsequently moved to La Jolla and married Bruce Hazard of San Diego in 1979. They enjoyed life to the fullest and travelled extensively until Bruce passed away in 2001. Bruce had three children with his late wife, Mabel Grant Hazard. Bruce Hazard was a prominent businessman and very active in the San Diego community and Mary was always supportive – whether it benefitted the Boy Scouts, the Zoological Society of San Diego or a Republican candidate. They enjoyed a wide circle of friends and were well known for hosting a Fourth of July
party at their lovely Mission Hills home. In her later years, “Maisie” as she was known to her extended family and friends, was a fixture at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Most every afternoon she could be found at her favorite spot along the esplanade where she enjoyed her walks, reading and visiting with friends. She was particularly close to her six Murphy nieces and nephews and was always included in their holidays and family events. On August 3, 2012, Mary was at the beach with four generations of family including great-great nieces and nephews. She was very appreciative of the support and care that she received from the staff at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club as well as La Jolla Nurses, who extended her quality of life for several years. Mary Hazard passed away peacefully at home on August 23, 2012, three days shy of her 93rd birthday. She is survived by her brother, Bobby; six
stepchildren and their offspring; and 16 nieces and nephews and their offspring. A private Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 8, 2012. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

By Phil Dailey hirty-eight years ago, the Riedler brothers set off on a crosscountry bicycle trek, a sorta send-off for Scott who was heading to Dartmouth College. It was 1974 and Scott wanted a “last fling” (as it was reported in an August 1974 story published in the La Jolla Light) before he embarked on the next stage of his young life. That last fling proved not to be a final chapter in the brothers’ exploration on two wheels. That trip, nearly four decades ago, was only the beginning of what has become a family tradition. Earlier this summer, Scott was joined once again by his brothers Mark, Tim and Alan as the foursome set out to conquer Yellowstone National
T
Park, cycling 700 miles through Montana, Wyoming and into the smoke-filled mountains of Idaho. “It was a great way to see Yellowstone because you’re going slow enough where you can look around and take it all in,” said Mark, a dentist in North Park. “It’s just the best.” Along the mountain roads the group biked summits nearly 11,000 feet along Beartooth Highway, dodged herds of bison, hiked the Grand Tetons near Jackson, Wyo., crossed the Continental Divide and saw the wildfires near Stanley, Idaho. During the past 12 years, the foursome has completed five bicycle trips that include rides through Oregon, Northern California, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.
La Jolla brothers reunite for another cross-country ride
All in their 50s, the Riedler brothers Scott, Mark, Tim and Alan, along with Tim’s 15-year son Laurens, encounter many majestic views during their multi-state cycling trip in July. COURTESY PHOTOS “When I was a kid I initially got the idea of riding across the country after graduation and I got my brothers to come with me,” said Scott, a
neurologist at Sharp ReesStealy Medical Group. “And ever since then, we got back into the routine of riding once a week on the weekends,
ThE bEsT pIzza wEsT oF NEw YoRK
every Sunday morning at the crack of dawn.” The brothers also take one big bike trip every few years, plus a biking excursions that also double as a reunion for the Riedlers. Tim, who is an attorney in Moscow with USAID, only makes it back to La Jolla every few years. So what else would four brothers want to do to catch up? “It’s kinda to celebrate when Tim comes home,” said Alan Riedler, the youngest of the four brothers. “It’s to do something together. It seems like a natural thing to do.” Bicycling for the Riedlers is about as natural as hearing the waves crash at WindanSea. The Rielders
relocated to La Jolla from La Mesa in the late 1960s and grew up on Skylark Drive. Biking and skateboarding up steep hills was normal. It was something they did every day going to school or delivering newspapers to the rest of the community. “It was definitely a hill to go anywhere on our bikes,” Scott said. “Ravenswood Road is one of the steepest hills in San Diego and we would ride up it every morning.” They may not have know it then, but biking up the hills of La Jolla provided the necessary training for biking across the byways of the

FROM BROTHERS, A20 western United States. The current trip for the Rielders, which started in Red Lodge, Mont., on the outskirts of Yellowstone, was about as successful as it could have been. There were few setbacks, but a couple challenges along the way with headwinds and a herd of bison. “Each and every one of us had an encounter with bison,” said Alan, a paralegal in La Jolla. “We were within 30 or 40 feet of one and even closer than that and
concerned for our safety. It was scary. It was scary for all of us.” The group did travel with an RV, something they definitely didn’t have back in 1974. The group also traveled with the newest member of their group. Joining the brothers this time was Laurens, Tim’s 15-year-old son. “This is my third trip, but my first trip for cycling,” he said. And it likely won’t be the last trip for any of them. Thought Scott, who is the
mastermind behind the excursions, has yet to figure out the group’s next journey, they are committed to continue this family tradition. “The more remarkable thing about this is that we are all in our 50s,” Tim said. “Mark is the oldest at 59, Alan is the youngest at 52. For all four of us to be doing cycling like this — 700 miles in a summer, 38 years after we started doing this, is unusual.” Unusual, yes, but normal for the Rielder brothers of La Jolla.

La Jolla Youth Baseball wraps up 60th season By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball Watching the Little League World Series on ESPN and ABC reminds us how entertaining youth baseball is and how important the sport is around the world. No other youth sport gets this kind of media coverage. So it’s no surprise that La Jolla Youth Baseball just celebrated its 60th anniversary and the league is as strong as it has ever been. None of this is possible without enthusiastic kids, their supportive parents, wonderful volunteer coaches, and generous sponsors. Congratulations on a successful season full of milestones and highlights. n The Pony Division fielded three teams and participated in the 11-team San Diego Metro Youth Baseball Inter-League. The teams and managers finished up the season in the following order: RBC (Roy Agbulos), Simpson Delmore Greene (Jack Marshall) and Rotary Club of La Jolla (John McColl). Both All Star teams advanced to the PONY Regional Tournament (13s and 14s). Brandon Nance and Michael Marshall led the league in home runs. Paul Delmore retired as Pony President, ending his five-year LP reign. n The Bronco Division had five teams that finished the regular season, led by Aladdin Bail Bonds (Kris Smolinski), Harry’s Coffee Shop (Mike Campagna), Las Patronas (Dave Hammel), On the Inside Design
(Mike Wintringer) and Mission Imprintables (Brian Moses & Kevin Mahony). Aladdin beat Harry’s in the championship game. Coach Hammel led the 12s All Star team into the PONY Regional Tournament. Garrett Brown was LJYB’s Home Run King with 9 round-trips. Eric Brown was Bronco President. n In the Mustang Division, Mitch’s Surf Shop (Wayne Young) finished the regular season ahead of Morgan Stanley (Bob Meyerott), Garage Door Medics (Brian Kelly), Pharmatek (Tim Scott), Drache Feld (Geoff Longenecker) and Baxter Foundation (Billy Egan). Garage Door Medics beat Morgan Stanley in the championship game. Three All Star teams played in the PONY Section Tournament but did not advance. Patrick Ryan and Josh Newman hit the only home runs in Mustang. Neil Hyytinen served as Mustang President. n With 12 teams competing in the Pinto division, the regular season ended with a tie at the top between Retirement Benefits Group (Jim Duffy) and Capital Growth Properties (Chris Hobbs), followed by Patterson Bike (Emmet Holden), Voices for Children (Bill Leutzow), PacVentures (John Dobak), Sector 9 (Dave Klimkiewicz),

Underdog PacVentures beat Capital Growth Properties in the championship game. Three All Star teams competed in the PONY Section Tournament with Coach Duffy’s Red team advancing to the Region Tournament. Alex Brown led Pinto with three home runs. Brad Kates did an outstanding job as Pinto President. n The Shetland Division experimented with smaller rosters and breaking the teams into Majors and Minors. The intent was to better prepare the older kids for tournament play and Pinto baseball the following year by introducing the pitching machine at the beginning of the season and allowing for more skill development. Minors were mostly first year players who used the batting tee for the first half of the season. The eight Major teams were Bank of America Home Loans (Chris Circuit), California Bank & Trust (Mitch Yaruss), Donovan’s Prime Seafood (Marc Howard), La Jolla Playhouse (Jim Weaver), Makaira Partners (Greg Hansen), Party City (Mike Gibbs), SD Storage (Roy Clark), and Willis Allen Real Estate (Rick Macdonald). The Minors teams included Brockton Villa (Michael Cairns), Jersey Mike’s of La Jolla (Mike McBride), Kiwanis Club of La Jolla (Philip Boczanowski), Murfey Construction (Scott Murfey), and Scoma Pediatric Dentistry (Ellen MacLean).

Heidi Dowd is the new part-time administrator and the only paid person in LJYB. More than 50 volunteer coaches were certified by the Positive Coaching Alliance for attending the “Double Goal Coach” workshop hosted by LJYB and underwritten by a generous family. LJYB became a better league because of its partnership with PCA. The workshops will be available to all LJYB parents in 2013. Look for a notice in early January. A special thanks goes to the San Diego Padres for including LJYB in their Youth Baseball Initiative in 2012 and 2013. The brainchild of Padres CEO Tom Garfinkel, the YBI was designed to put a Padres jersey on every Little League kid in San Diego — more than 11,000 authentic MLB Majestic jerseys were donated in the 2012 season alone. This initiative has never been attempted before in Major League Baseball and the program attracted significant national attention. LJYB is the only PONY league to be included in this incredible outreach program and we are deeply appreciative of their generosity. We want to particularly acknowledge and thank Sue Botos, the Padres Vice President of Community Affairs and her tireless team for taking on this monumental task and turning it into a huge success for the all of the kids included in the program.

section b 10 QUESTIONS
The Rev. Brian Fidler draws inspiration from the students he counsels The Rev. Brian Fidler joined The Bishop’s School as Interim Chaplain in 2011, bringing a passion for the spiritual nurture of academic communities spanning more than 30 years. An East Coast native, he has spent all but three years of his ministry as a chaplain, teacher, and coach. He has taught in the fields of religion, ethics, servicelearning, and history, and has coached soccer and baseball, served as an advisor and class sponsor, Rev. Brian supervised dormitories, and Fidler served the spiritual needs of the several boarding and day schools in which he has worked. At Bishop’s, Rev. Fidler teaches the eighthgrade class, World Religions, and the upper school elective, History of the Holocaust. In his role as chaplain he also supports diversity initiatives and leads Chapel services. What brought you to La Jolla? The Bishop’s School was looking for a Chaplain and I fell in love with the School; the location of La Jolla was icing on the cake. Alright, a whole lot of icing! If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? Of the several schools I’ve served most of them have been located in idyllic countryside settings. Moving to a major metropolitan area has reminded me of the plight of the homeless and those who struggle at or below the poverty level. These are complex problems with complex solutions, but if I could snap my fingers and have it done, these are the conditions I would want to improve. Who or what inspires you? I am inspired by the thousands of young people I have taught over the last 33 years. They are filled with so much energy, so much hope, and so many dreams, that no matter what else I may be feeling, they energize and inspire me! If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I can imagine a lot of noteworthy people with whom I’d enjoy having a meal and an evening’s conversation — Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mohandas Gandhi, Jesus of Nazareth, Muhammad among them — but since my wife and I became empty-nesters, I miss those family dinner-time conversations catching up on each other’s day.

It’s Kombucha Time!
Tasting the Kombucha allows owner Anne Smith to determine if it is fully fermented, which generally takes about 7-10 days. PHOTOS BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS
Bird Rock shop owner ferments probiotic tea for sale in SoCal BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS shop in Bird Rock at 5652 La Jolla Blvd. is home to Anne’s Kombucha, where the organic, fermented probiotic tea is brewed and distributed by owner Anne Smith, a health-conscious entrepreneur whose bottled Kombucha teas are sold in more than two-dozen stores across the county. “I started making Kombucha in my home five years ago with two test tubes and it grew to this,” Smith said, with a wave of her hand. Smith has studied health and nutrition for the past 30 years and holds more than a dozen certificates in topics such as botanical research and clinical herbology. She said she first learned about Kombucha during a class on fermentation at Self-Heal School in Ocean Beach. The fermentation process creates a naturally carbonated probiotic beverage after sweet tea is mixed with a raw, live Symbiotic Culture of friendly Bacteria and Yeast known as a SCOBY. Kombucha is believed to have originated in China during the Tsin Dynasty (2221 B.C.)

About Anne’s Kombucha ■ Made in three flavors: Cranberry lime, blue-green algae and ginger. ■ T he probiotic content in each 16-ounce bottle is 1 billion organisms of Lactobacillus. ■ Anne’s Kombucha Blue Green Algae has 40 calories per serving, 9 grams of carbohydrates and 7 grams of sugar, and the blue-green algae comes from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. Anne Smith points to a ‘baby’ culture, inside a bottle of Kombucha tea that she makes in her commercial kitchen and store at 5652 La Jolla Blvd.
La Jolla Cultural Partners
FROM Kombucha, B1 when it was called the “Elixir of Immortality” for its health benefits, according to Smith. Some of those purported benefits include an increase in metabolism and energy, detoxifying effects, immune system boosting, mood enhancement and cell regeneration. Smith said she was fascinated by the bizarre-tasting, sweet-and-sour, sparkly tea, and soon began drinking it daily. Her instructor told her she could make it at home inexpensively, compared to the $3-$4 price per serving of Kombucha at health food stores. “Online I bought two little test tubes of organic cultures that are the starters,” she said.
Smith’s associate, Janine Goldman, adds raw cane sugar to ferment the tea, which is one of the many steps in the process of making Kombucha. PHOTOS BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS
For the next three years she worked in her kitchen at home, fermenting, tasting, blending and refining her own recipes, which included adding flower essences into the elixir. She said the first step is to boil water and sugar, steep several tea bags, then let the mixture cool before adding the culture to the jar of tea and covering it with a muslin cloth. After about seven days of growing in a dark, ventilated area, the “mother” SCOBY produces a “baby” SCOBY. “This is the nursery phase,” Smith said. The two organisms can then be detached and moved to separate containers where they expand exponentially. “I was fermenting, and every so often, I’d have to buy another two-gallon
container. It got to the point that I had 25 containers in my hallway,” she said. When her husband tired of the constant aroma of vinegar in the house, Smith said she decided it was time to find a shop. About two years ago Smith opened the shop in Bird Rock where she brews and bottles 1,500 to 2,000 bottles of Kombucha each month. “Everything is done in the building — from the fermentation to the strain, to the blending, to the bottling, to the delivery. I self distribute and I stock the shelves,” she said. Smith has 250 gallons continuously fermenting on the shelves, and her shop can accommodate production of up to 10,000 bottles per month.
■ Non-alcoholic: Due to the natural fermentation, each batch of Anne’s Kombucha has a trace amount of alcohol, but is tested to be a non-alcoholic beverage and conforms to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control that requires a beverage to contain less than or equal to .5 percent by volume alcohol content to be considered a non-alcoholic drink. ■ Not for everyone: Kombucha is not recommended for lactating or pregnant women. ■ Anne’s Kombucha makes no formal claims about the benefits of Kombucha, and the Food and Drug Administration has not evaluated any of the widerange of professional claims regarding Kombucha’s health enhancing properties, according to Anne Smith. ■ Sold locally: Jonathan’s Market, 7611 Fay Ave., Whole Foods Market, 8825 Villa La Jolla Drive, Anne’s Kombucha, 5652 La Jolla Blvd., $4 per bottle.

Chef Donald Lockhart is on the Cusp with savory dishes, eco-friendly dining By Kelley Carlson igh up in the Hotel La Jolla, its new restaurant, Cusp, stays grounded through its environmentally friendly practices and laid-back atmosphere. Yet it also exudes elegance, and has been attracting everyone from vacationers in T-shirts to people donning formalwear for special occasions since its Aug. 3 opening. “(It’s) your time as a guest; we make sure it’s enjoyable,” said executive chef Donald Lockhart. Many will likely appreciate Cusp’s “green” theme, from its sustainability procedures to its organic ingredients and tree-inspired decor. A participant in Kimpton Hotels’ EarthCare Program, the restaurant recycles and only utilizes hard, reusable containers to store food. Excess cooking oils and grease are converted into biodiesel fuels; cleaning is achieved with biodegradable supplies. Lighting is energyefficient, and special devices help control water flow in the kitchen and bathrooms. It’s only natural that Cusp would also follow the hotel’s tree theme and incorporate woodsy elements into its interior design. Brown “vines” cover much of the walls; leaf patterns glow in the ceiling. Throughout the restaurant, there are also smoky mirrors, gauzy white curtains and flickering “candles” that are actually lights. The ocean can be seen from just about every seat in the house.

Cusp is located on the 11th floor of Hotel La Jolla and offers meals with ocean views.
On The
Menu Recipe
Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. n This week: Cusp’s Scallops and Crab Cerviche Happy hour is typically celebrated in the lounge, where patrons can relax in cushioned seats with pillows or in wooden stools at the bar. Cocktails created with house-made infused spirits and freshsqueezed juices are $5. While that special is consistent, the happy hour food menu changes weekly. So customers shouldn’t get too attached to those mini falafel chicken fritters they just ordered. “It gives us a chance to play with the food and evolve the menu,” Lockhart said. “We hope to change the menu constantly so it doesn’t get old and tired.” After happy hour, guests tend to migrate into the main dining room for dinner. By day, patrons can listen to “poppy” jazz music and observe the ocean’s swells along La Jolla Shores through the 11th-floor establishment’s floor-to-ceiling windows, which can slide open to permit the cool breeze to pass through. But as evening approaches, guests are often treated to scenes of the sun seemingly sinking into the Pacific. As the lights of La Jolla begin to twinkle below, the restaurant grows dim, and hip music provides an upbeat atmosphere. Servers present customers with menus printed on recycled paper, filled with choices of light, coastal Mediterranean cuisine. Lockhard noted that the flavors are clean, natural and simplistic, and the dishes do not contain heavy sauces. Doughs are prepared three to four days ahead of time to give them a more developed flavor; noodles for pasta dishes are made in-house, just hours before customers arrive. In addition, ingredients are local and organic, purchased from places such as Suzie’s Farm on the Tijuana Estuary and Bread & Cie Bakery & Cafe in San Diego. Cusp also follows the Monterey Bay Seafood
Watch’s sustainable seafood guidelines when selecting such fare. Wines — whether they are French rosé or cabernet — are sustainable, organic and biodynamic, and microbrews come from area producers such as Karl Strauss, Green Flash and Stone Brewing. With the exception of pastas and pizzas, most of the food is gluten-free, or can be tailored to fit one’s needs. To kick off a meal, guests have several options. There is a raw bar with oysters and several types of ceviches. And there are shareable appetizers such as the Toasted Quinoa, sprinkled over a mixture of yellowtail and curry cream and served with pita chips; and Pepperoni Rolls filled with melted mozzarella, asiago, oven-dried tomato and roasted garlic with spicy tomato dipping sauce, which pairs well with a brew. Salad lovers may opt for Roasted Artichoke with spice mixed greens and chili goat cheese, or perhaps the Charred Octopus with citrus, mojo verde and panzanella salad. A variety of rustic flatbreads and pastas are available, along with entrees ranging from vegetarian to meat and seafood. One tender dish is the Pan-Roasted Jidori Chicken with Provencal vegetables in pan jus, served on a bed of organic polenta. Children can order more kid-friendly eats such as cheese pizza, tomato and cheese pasta, or butter and noodles — and color with crayons while they wait. To top off a meal, there are desserts such as the Rhubarb and Strawberry Trifle with lemon curd and vanilla cake, the Caramel Panna Cotta, and ice creams and sorbets. Among the choices for accompanying beverages are coffees, cognacs, ports or special after-dinner cocktails such as the frothy Murphy’s Law, a combination of Nolet’s Gin, orgeat syrup, lemon, strawberry honey-Peychaud Bitters and whipped cream. Lockhart pointed out that meals at Cusp are relatively inexpensive, especially for a La Jolla restaurant — a person can order a beer and pasta for less than $20. “You get great food, views and value,” he said. Customers may take their food to go in containers made from recycled cane fiber, and hotel guests can order the restaurant’s items from their rooms. Valet parking is free for Cusp guests; they can gauge an ideal time to leave the establishment by watching the traffic flow below along Torrey Pines Road.

can’t tell you the depths of depression I felt when Olof announced that he wished to add additional service to our Time Warner Cable Internet and TV accounts. “Olof,” I pleaded. “Do not feed the lions.” I have to say, in fairness to Time Warner Cable (TW), that our Internet service has performed almost flawlessly (except, of course, when their cable TV technicians disconnected it while trying to fix our endless TV problems). They even repaired the cable for free when Winston the Wonder Dog chewed through it during one of his early visits. One of our fundamental problems is that the TV cable installation (done separately from the Internet installation) was totally botched to begin with, requiring some
installation. I don’t see how they can mess this up.” I was intentionally out during the appointment time. When I came home, Olof was looking very unhappy. He’d told them when he made the appointment that all our TW Cable wiring had been run under the house because of our fragile plaster walls. But the guy who shows up says he doesn’t go under the houses. Plaster walls or nothing. He leaves. Olof, a TW Cable virgin, has forgotten to make sure that everything else works before letting the cable guy escape. Sure enough, our TV service is out. I call and get Clint. Clint promises 100-percent absolutely that someone will come back by 7 p.m. to do the new installation and restore our cable TV service. It is currently 11 a.m. We call throughout the day. Not to worry, they say. We’re on the schedule. At 7 p.m. I get Brandy but ask for a supervisor. Brandy promises that if I will hang up, a supervisor will call me back “in 10

dozen follow-up service calls, endless replacement boxes, and it still has a sound that cuts out and a picture that breaks up. We rent an On Demand movie, pay for it, then get a message saying, “That movie is not available at this time.” (Do they only have one copy?) Time Warner Cable (their motto: “We can’t fix anything”) has consistently earned its national Bottom 10 customer satisfaction ranking year after year. Every time I have to deal with them, I think nostalgically of the everreliable rotating antenna I used to have on my roof, which actually produced a picture and sound. So I told Olof that if he wanted additional service, he was ordering it and taking the day off to wait for the TW Cable guy. I even gave him the whole script: They probably won’t show up when they’re supposed to. They will not achieve what they are there for. But when they leave, you discover they’ve broken something else. They have this down to a science. Olof, an innocent, says, “It’s a really straight-forward

www.lajollalight.com FROM INGA, B6 minutes.” Like I was born yesterday? “No, thanks,” I say, “I’ll hold.” Twenty-five minutes later Brandy is back on the line. Sorry, she says, all the dispatchers, technicians and supervisors have gone home. They’ll need to reschedule installation and repair. First available is Sunday, three days hence. The next morning I am on the phone at 7 a.m. and get Jason, an alleged supervisor. Jason promises me that a technician will be out between 5 and 7 p.m. that day to restore the TV service. The new installation will have to wait until Sunday. I ask why no one called us when they weren’t going to come. He says their records show that the scheduled technician (hereafter known as “The Lying Bag of Sheep Dung”) cryptically noted that he was “unable to access area under house” and hence cancelled the call without ever coming here. At 6:55 p.m., just as we are about to give up, a TW Cable guy named Avery shows up. He agrees our TV cable service is out, but is puzzled as to how that could be since the first guy never went under the house. We are sure he is going to shrug his shoulders — it is, after all, Friday night — and leave in TW’s inimitable way, but he is determined to fix this for us. We are so dazzled we are speechless. Is this really a TW Cable guy? He finally dons his hazmat suit and crawls under the house in the now-pitch blackness and discovers that when the first guy had been tugging on the cable from the outside of the house, he had pulled it out from the splitter underneath the house. Avery fixes this and voila! Avery fesses up, however, to tripping over one of our above-ground sprinkler heads in the dark thus disabling our sprinkler system. He offers to pay for it. We decline. He’s honest to boot! If only we could just get Avery on retainer. Meanwhile, Olof decides against the new installation. He is no longer a virgin. In fact, he’s feeling like he’s been violated by a horde of surly ninjas. Even though we’ve kept TW Cable because they’re the evil that we know, we conclude it’s time for the

evil that we don’t know. Neither of us feels inclined to spend yet more time on hold with TW Cable to cancel the new installation call that was rescheduled for Sunday. When they come, we’ll tell them we’ve changed our minds. Take THAT, Time Warner Cable!

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1
What are you currently reading? “Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy,” by Eric Metaxas
What is your most-prized possession? It would have to be my maternal grandfather’s porcelain-faced pocket watch, engraved with his initials, and given to him by my grandmother when he returned safely from fighting in France in 1917. It was given to me because my middle name (Ernest) was named after him.
What do you do for fun? Fun is always about friends and family, but my particular interests include playing tennis, leisurely bike rides, and Monday night football!
What is your most-marked characteristic? I hope others would say some combination of kindness and compassion.
So I’m going to beg the question ever so slightly and say, a family dinner for four with my wife and our two sons sounds pretty ideal.
What would be your dream vacation? Exploring the islands of Hawaii; now that we’ve moved from the East Coast to the West Coast, the dream has come a little bit closer. What is your motto or philosophy of life? To live “… by the grace of daily obligation.” (From “Father Melancholy’s Daughter” by Gail Godwin). To read past 10 Question columns, visit lajollalight.com

Scripps Pier walkers watch the sun set and moon rise
N
aturalists at Birch Aquarium presented a Full Moon Pier Walk on Friday, Aug. 31 with some 50 guests on hand to participate in a special “Blue Moon,” event, taking in the second full moon of the month (the first came on Aug. 2.) After hosting a tour of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography campus, the naturalists led the group to the pier (normally closed to the public) for a stroll to the end and a spectacular sunset. Next came hands-on exploration of the science stations along the pier and then some marine biology lessons under floodlights. Many participants dissected squids to marvel at the wonders inside, examined shark jawbones, used microscopes to view the tiny marine life collected off sediment samples from the ocean floor, and picked sea stars, crabs and barnacles from the pier’s netting. At about 8 p.m., as participants said goodnight and began walking off the pier, the full blue moon rose over the hill to greet them. The next Full Moon Pier Walks are 6-8:30 p.m. Sept. 29 and 30. Tickets $25 at (858) 534-7336. aquarium.ucsd.edu — Susan DeMaggio

Pining for some satiric farce? ‘The Underpants’ won’t let you down By Diana Saenger Can politics be shrouded in a cloud of humor? That was the intention of playwright Carl Sternheim when in 1910 he penned the farce “Die Hose.” In 2002, comedian Steve Martin adapted Sternheim’s send-up of bourgeois snobbery and conformity in his version, “The Underpants,” which makes its San Diego premiere on Sept. 8 to open the North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 31st Season. The play centers on a woman whose underwear slips to her ankles in the middle of town and causes a public scandal. Director Mark Pinter points out that such an incident today would be almost unnoticeable, but in 1910 it was shocking. “Carl Sternheim was a Jew and a playwright who was forced to flee Germany in 1912,” Pinter said. “His script (initially banned) was really a comment on the German middle class and meant to be very political, but Sternheim was cleverly referencing the underbelly of society in humorous ways. Steve Martin has put his twist on the play, admitting he couldn’t resist it speaking to him in modern terms. ‘The Underpants’ is an unabashed farce with sight gags and rimshot jokes.” It goes like this … Theobald Maske (Matthew Henerson) is worried about renting out a room in his flat and trying

He definitely didn’t need his wife’s public incident. Now, he vows to keep her at home. But he needn’t worry because Louise Maske’s (Holly Rone) episode has made her famous. That’s what attracts two new renters to the flat. Frank Versati (Jacob Bruce) and Benjamin Cohen (Omri Shein) could care less about the apartment. It’s Louise they’re after. She’s aroused a passion in them to court her. The attention intrigues Louise, who’s not feeling fulfilled by Theobald. Though, normally, she would resist any thought of suitors, she is encouraged by her nosy neighbor Gertrude (Clarinda Ross). Gertrude knows Louise wants to have a baby, and so far, Theobald has not helped that happen. Director Pinter said the
premise of the play is something people can relate to today. “Louise, basically, has 15 minutes of fame and then loses it, and then something surprising happens,” he said. “Things like this happen every day in our world. People post things on social media and get responses — sometimes good, other times bad. Although unintended, this play has a real gut connection to today’s world … and it’s a lovely period piece with period costumes and a very fun set.” One of the funniest
Jonathan McMurtry? “Jonathan is legendary,” Pinter said. “He needs little direction, and he puts his own particular spin on this character. “He always delivers the goods, and it’s a pleasure to
watch him. One of the things I hope about this play, is that in addition to the patrons having a good time with all the farce, that maybe on the way home they’ll think, ‘that play really meant something more.’ ”

For more details, call Lois Underhill (858) 412-6351. n Pen to Paper, a workshop for creative writers (and those who want to be) meets noon to 1 p.m. Thursdays, as San Diego Writers, Ink. The informal group writes to a prompt, and then reads their work aloud. Bring pen and paper. n Wednesday Book Club meets at 1:15 p.m. the second Wednesdays of the month for lively debate on good books. September’s selection is “Unbroken” by Laura Hillenbrand. The October read is “Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand” by Helen Simonson. November: “Haunted Bookshop,” by Christopher Morley. December “Little Bee” by Chris Cleave. The Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave., is open 12:30-8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday; 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday; 9:30-2:30 p.m. Saturday; 1-5 p.m. Sunday.

New Ocean Blue has teamed up with the Wyland Foundation and the Riford Library to turn trash into art at a special event from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8 at the library, 7555 Draper Ave., La Jolla. According to organizers, here’s the game plan: Participants of all ages will help New Ocean Blue create a masterpiece by attaching plastic trash found at San Diego beaches to a canvas donated by the Wyland Foundation. The community will then fill in sections of the painted canvas while learning about plastic pollution and the oceans’ garbage patches. There will also be information from New Ocean Blue on how plastic detrimentally affects humans on a daily basis, and what strategies can be taken to reduce its use. Participants will also be informed about the dangers that the ocean faces due to plastic usage by humans — 100,000 marine mammals die annually from trash-related deaths. After the event, the library will showcase the canvas, along with a short informational panel about plastic pollution, through November. For more information, call (858) 551-1291 or visit newoceanblue.org and wylandfoundation.org

Standing in its original location on Virginia Way since 1969, Heinz Gietz Autohaus is one of California’s original Mercedes-Benz Factory Authorized Service Dealers and is the lone service only dealer left of its kind. With an open-air service center and a family atmosphere one can watch their Mercedes-Benz being serviced and receive a genuinely traditional customer appreciation. Originally from Frankfurt, Germany, Heinz Gietz completed his Mercedes-Benz Technician training in 1938. This expertise later provided the opportunity for the young Mr. Gietz to become Lead Technician for Augie Pabst’s (heir of Pabst Blue Ribbon) Gullwing Race Team. While traveling with the Augie, Mr. Gietz visited San Diego and immediately fell in love with La Jolla. He soon thereafter relocated with wife Ilse, daughter, Sonja, and Heinz Gietz Autohaus was born. Now, 43 years later, the business continues to be family owned and operated, Mr. Gietz having passed the reins to daughter, Sonja, and grandson Dieter-Heinz.

Season the chicken with salt and cayenne. Heat the oil in a skillet and pan-fry the chicken until browned, about 10 minutes. Pour the apricot mixture over the chicken and simmer until thoroughly cooked. Serve over your favorite grain or pasta.
Just wing your way through National Chicken Month
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman
S
eptember is National Chicken month, paying homage to the more than 9 billion birds raised every year for consumption in this country. Here’s a primer to help pollitarians navigate their way through the shoals of the chickens’ world this month and throughout the year. Cluck. Cluck. Struttin’ its stuff Chicken (especially skinless breast meat) is a lean, densely packed protein source, having less than half the fat of a trimmed prime cut steak. Loaded with B vitamins, particularly niacin, chicken has been linked to putting the skids on age-related cognitive diseases, and dialing-up energy. While the trace mineral selenium in chicken is an immuneboosting powerhouse and hormone regulator, keeping the thyroid on an even keel.
Probably one of the most versatile foods on the planet, you could easily prepare a different dish for every day of National Chicken Month: Chicken Parmesan. Moroccan-stewed chicken with figs and apricots. Chicken with roasted quinoa. Chicken sausage paella. Chicken and wild mushroom risotto. White chicken chili. Stuffed chicken cabbage rolls. Chicken with lemon and capers over egg noodles. Grilled Greek chicken salad. Chicken Caesar. Chicken lo mein. Chicken egg foo yung. You get the picture. Pecking order When choosing chicken, buy organic free-range wherever possible. Factoryfarmed chickens are cooped up in cramped quarters, necessitating the use of large amounts of antibiotics to prevent the spread of infections and other diseases. They are also injected with growth hormones, giving them synthetically augmented breasts. So when buying chicken, make sure it passes the drug test as well as the taste test. All it’s cracked up to be A young, healthy hen lays roughly 300 eggs per year,
which varies depending on the breed. It’s a misnomer that brown eggs have a higher nutritional value than their pale counterparts; rather the mocha hue is a result of a pigment deposited in the shell during the formation in the oviduct from red-feathered, brown ear-lobed hens. Other breeds lay designer shades of blue, green, reddish brown and mauve. Eggs are a complete protein and provide a mother lode of folic acid, iron, calcium, phosphorous, potassium and Vitamins A, B6, B12, D and E. Those high in Omega-3 fatty acids come from chickens fed with polyunsaturated fats and kelp meal. Tastes like chicken For vegetarians and vegans who like the taste of chicken and eggs there are plenty of mock options including, Veggie Chicken Burgers (Yves), Chicken Nuggets (Boca and Applegate), and Meatless Buffalo Chicken Wings (Gardenburger). Swap out the real McCoy for egg substitutes, and whip up frittatas, scrambles, breakfast burritos or crème brule French toast.

For gala with a garbage theme, TRASH, was pretty swanky!
T
he fifth annual New Children’s Museum Gala (inspired by the current eco-exhibition, TRASH) was held Aug. 18 at the museum, 200 West Island Ave. in San Diego. More than 250 patrons celebrated the transformation of rubbish into resource — eco couture, zero waste, urban agriculture, and organic fare with an evening of music, wine, cuisine and art. Highlights included Eco Couture Fashion, Sustainable Fare by Campine, a Dumpster Dance Party and one-of-a kind art and entertainment. The gala raised $400,000 to support NCM’s programming for children, families, artists, and teachers.

La Jolla’s Gems of the week ‘USA Today’ names UCSD to its list of ‘5 Colleges with Great Mobile Apps.’ UCSD was one of the first universities to launch an iPhone app in 2009. Since then, UCSD Mobile (with more than 20 different apps) has become a powerful tool for students, faculty and staff. Students can view their course schedule, get personalized walking directions to class, buy their textbooks and check the menu of the nearest dining hall — all from their mobile devices. The other mobile-hip schools on the list were Texas A&M University, MIT, University of Alabama and Ohio State University. USA Today reports that as of June 2011, only 15 percent of colleges had mobilespecific websites. Compare that with this statistic: In 2014, twice as many smartphones will be sold as PCs.

true or false? There are 3 million students in California schools. False. More than 6 million students attend public schools in California, which has 1.5 million more students than Texas, the next largest state. In the 1980s and 1990s, California was the nation’s fastest-growing state. However, the state’s school population began to decline in 2005. Declining enrollments can create fiscal problems for districts because funding is based on student attendance regardless of the district’s ability to reduce expenses. For example, fixed expenses, like facilities maintenance or utilities, do not go down just because there are fewer students in a school. — edsource.org

From museum reports Building on two previous lecture series that examined great art museums in Europe and America, art historian James W. Grebl, Ph.D., will present a new series of four lavishly illustrated lectures to explore lesser-known European art museums on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 20 and 27 and Oct. 4 and 11 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. These gems, chosen for their remarkable art masterpieces as well as their impressive architecture, represent some of the best art museums of Europe that don’t appear on every tourist’s must-see list. The collections viewed will range from medieval to contemporary art, and the buildings housing them run the gamut from venerable to ultramodern. Each presentation will weave together the history, design, and art treasures of these irreplaceable cultural institutions. Series tickets are $40 members, $60 nonmembers. Individual lectures cost $12 for members, $17 for nonmembers. Reservations can be made at ljathenaeum.org/lectures or call (858) 454-5872. n Sept. 20: Wallace Collection (London), Burrell Collection (Glasgow), Cluny and Marmottan museums (Paris), Museé des Arts asiatiques (Nice) and possibly others. n Sept. 27: Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (near Copenhagen), the Kröller-Müller Museum (near Apeldoorn, Netherlands), the Horta Museum (Brussels) and the Beyeler Foundation (near Basel). n Oct. 4: Museum Frieder Burda (Baden-Baden), Städel Museum (Frankfort am Main) and the Academy of Fine Arts and Secession Hall (Vienna). n Oct. 11: Picasso Museum (Málaga), Thyssen Bornemisza Museum (Madrid), Pinacoteca di Brera (Milan), Peggy Guggenheim Collection (Venice) and MAXXI — the National Museum of XXI Century Art (Rome).

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 California Civil Code.

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.
