Church cancels meals program, citing Hep A BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON In light of the Hepatitis A outbreak in the County (see related story, A11) the holiday meals program produced by the non-profit So Others May Eat and held at Mary, Star of the Sea Church on Girard Avenue in La Jolla, has been canceled this year. The bi-weekly meals served at the church for almost a decade have also been canceled — effective immediately — for the foreseeable future. In explaining his decision to stop hosting the free meals programs, Mary, Star of the Sea church pastor Rev. Jim Rafferty said in an e-mail to La Jolla Light: “So Others May Eat, has consistently fed anyone in our Church Hall every other Tuesday at 6 p.m. for approximately seven years. Due to our renovations the last five months, we have not had a hall available. Concomitant with the completion of our hall renovation, there is in San Diego County, a heightened

level of Hepatitis A. For me, as pastor, I need to provide facilities that are not likely to infect the people of La Jolla. I am, therefore, unwilling to commence So Others May Eat feeding in the parish hall at the present time.” At the time of the decision, the La Jolla Town Council wrote a letter to the church asking that it permanently cancel the feeding program. Town Council president Ann Kerr Bache told the Light the group favors more comprehensive programs, rather than a single project that only addresses one need, in the campaign to break the cycle of homelessness. So Others May Eat founder Tresha Souza said the cancellation was issued “behind our backs” and was “heartbreaking.” “We have been doing this for years,” she told the Light. “Why would anyone think we can’t handle the post-event cleaning?

FROM SOLEDAD MEMORIAL, A1 Three, in particular, are set to go live by the end of the year: a veteran’s history project, a student veteran docent program and the development of a locator app. For the veteran’s history and the student veteran docent programs, the Association will partner with San Diego State University. “There are almost 5,000 plaques up there and just as many stories,” Chelling explained. “You see stories on the plaques, but they’re really abbreviated. We’re going to try and contact (these veterans or their families) and record the history of their stories and make these available to visitors who go up to the memorial.” Because of its large student veteran program, working with SDSU was a natural fit. “But we’re going to tap all major universities in San Diego for student veterans to bolster the docent program we have. These are people who’ve served overseas and around the world. They have that service as a part of their life experience; it’s a special kind of perspective, maturity and skillset.” With the locator app (similar to the “find a grave” apps used in cemeteries), visitors will be able to locate a specific plaque. “The app is currently in development, and the oral histories could be available there. The beauty of an app is it can be built out once it goes live. We’re going to have a beta test of the app later this year,” Chelling said. “The La Jolla community is the key in all this. We always look forward to hearing from people with how they’d like to

City Council delays vote on finance rules for Rec Councils BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON For nearly two hours during its Oct. 31 meeting, the San Diego City Council hashed out how to resolve an issue with how the 57 Rec Councils across San Diego manage funds. Ultimately, the board opted to postpone a vote until December, citing lingering questions and the “number of speakers” against the proposal. At issue is a recent City Attorney opinion that states all money collected by the Rec Councils is City funds, and so Rec Councils would be eliminated as financial agents. As it stands now, these councils collect money from permits, classes and donations, and use it for building improvements, equipment replacement and other needs. The City Attorney opinion suggests reorganizing the structure of Rec Councils, so all references to “Rec Councils” would be replaced with “City of San Diego,” and requests the authorization, appropriation and expenditure of Recreation Council funds. This means all future funds from permits would be managed by the City, and rather than have Rec Councils pay contractors directly, the City would pay for their services. Funds from donations could be kept separately if the Rec Council is a 501(c)3 non-profit. However, many of the opposing speakers said the recommended action is “unfair” to individual communities. La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc., members Bill Robbins and Mary Coakley Munk spoke, representing

asked why the item came directly to the City Council and didn’t first go to a Council committee. The expediency, it was explained, came because the City Attorney’s office said it would not renew the Special Use Permit (required for Rec Councils to hold events) when it expires Dec. 31. Should that occur, Rec Center programming would be suspended in the new year. District ? Council member Mark Kearsey said neither he nor his Council colleagues necessarily wanted to vote on the proposal, “but it was dropped on us” and because the City Attorney would not review the permit, they “have to address it.” San Diego Director of Park & Rec Herman LIGHT FILE Parker added, “When the opinion came out, La Jolla Recreation Center at 615 Prospect St. offers year-round programs, in addition to it was apparent to us we were violating our its basketball courts, children’s play areas, picnic facilities, tennis courts, weight room, City Code and Charter.

Trading on La Jolla’s Name

92037 impostors capitalize on proximity to The Jewel BY COREY LEVITAN “The name ‘La Jolla’ has become world famous for luxury and excitement,” reads the website for the Vista La Jolla Townhomes. That’s a good bet to explain why builders chose that name for a condo complex located at 4464 Via Billiante in University City. La Jolla Baking Company, La Jolla Biologics, La Jolla Appraisal Group, La Jolla Coach, La Jolla Hair Clinic, La Jolla Medical and Surgical, La Jolla Car Wash, La Jolla Mobile Auto & Truck Repair, PRN La Jolla Physical Therapy … the Light found more than 30 commercial concerns using La Jolla’s name without a corresponding La Jolla address. Most are located in University City, squarely outside its La Jolla Village Drive and Genessee Avenue borders with La Jolla. Scott Cairncross gets more of a pass than most because, when he started La Jolla Audio 30 years ago, it was located at his La Jolla home. (Now it’s in Bay Ho off Santa Fe Street.) “I couldn’t move down into La Jolla because there was no space that would allow me to do what I was doing at the time,” Cairncross said. “That’s when I moved down here, and it happens to be in the La Jolla Business Center. I don’t know if there’s a name on the place anymore, but there used to be a sign down the street.” Cairncross admits keeping the name,

you’d probably want to adopt that name if you could.” Indeed, since the 1960s, the City of Beverly Hills has had to contend with “adjacent” businesses glomming onto its name. And, frankly, it’s a compliment — but it can be a liability. By using a nearby neighborhood’s name to elevate their prestige, some lower-rent businesses could potentially drag that name down.

“We don’t have any issues with anyone calling where they live or work ‘La Jolla,’ ” said La Jolla Village Merchant Association executive director Sheila Fortune. “It’s not our purview. We only worry about the people who are in our district, the Village of La Jolla.” Except that most of the La Jolla businesses contacted by the Light — ones who happen SEE LA JOLLA’S NAME, A20

he front-page story about Fr. Rafferty’s decision to stop hosting the So Others May Eat meals at Mary, Star of the Sea Church in The Village for the homeless and hungry is sobering and disheartening. Regardless of how you feel about his decision on moral or spiritual grounds, it seems the pastor made it with pressure from community leaders and his parishioners. No doubt, he lost a few nights’ sleep over the difficult, controversial decision. It surely begs the wisdom of Solomon and the question of whether it signals a precedent. This year, the public-safety issue over feeding those who live on the streets was escalated by the Hepatitis A outbreak that added a public health factor to the ongoing concern. Along the coast, many residents of Pacific Beach and Ocean Beach have also been calling for their church pastors to cancel (or regulate) their meals programs in the hope of eliminating the presence of the addicts and traveling homeless people the free meals draw to surrounding neighborhoods. One Crown Pointer’s petition on change.org to curtail the “homeless feeds” in Pacific Beach has garnered 480 signatures thus far. However, these voices are quickly challenged by those claiming more compassionate hearts who recite the adage: “There but for the Grace of God, go I,” attributed to evangelical preacher and martyr John Bradford (1510-1555) who is said to have uttered the expression when seeing criminals being led to the scaffold. In any case, the Light acknowledges the very compassionate heart of La Jollan Tresha Souza, and all the other volunteers at So Other May Eat. They have untold success stories about the down-and-out lives they’ve touched over the years as they provided food to the hungry. Know that their story and good works have not ended. Souza has begun to search for a new home for the meals programs. In support, we remind her of another prophetic adage: “As one door closes another opens,” attributed to inventor Alexander Graham Bell.

FROM HEP A, A1 We have all the information from the County about how to clean and sanitize the area. We also provide Hep A vaccinations for those who come to our program.” In addition to homeless people, Souza said the dinners feed the working poor and families, as well as provide community service hours for area youth. “We serve anywhere from 150 to 200 people from 4 to 7 p.m. every other Tuesday. From 4 to 5:30 p.m., we offer a full pantry with perishables and non-perishables for families with homes, but who find it difficult to put food on the table. We have bathrooms in the halls where these people would wash their hands. “In light of the Hep A outbreak, we began to serve the dinners to the tables, whereas before the outbreak, the diners would form a line and we’d put the food on their plates at each station as they moved through the line. Now, our volunteers wear gloves and serve the tables, so no one is getting up and touching anything.” Souza said she would like to continue the dinners, and so she needs to find another venue. Souza can be reached at soothersmayeatinc@san.rr.com

Hepatitis A. ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON

We invite you to contact or visit us to see what makes this community a truly unique opportunity for luxury apartment living.

So Others May Eat holds Hep A forum County: Of 536 cases, 172 stricken were homeless and/or drug users BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON In preparation for the annual feeding programs for those in need held toward the end of the year at Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church on Girard Avenue (in addition to ongoing bi-weekly dinners) the non-profit group, So Others May Eat (SOME), hosted a forum about Hepatitis A on Nov. 2 at the church. The speakers were Jamie Felice, San Diego County senior public health nurse, and Roberto Ramirez, Community Health Promotion Team member. They were invited to dispel myths about Hep A and its relationship to homelessness. Thus far, there have been 536 confirmed cases of Hepatitis A in San Diego County and 20 deaths. Of the confirmed cases, about 30 percent were spread among San Diego’s homeless population and drug-users (or both) due to lack of sanitation options. In running down some facts, Ramirez said the incubation period (from exposure to symptoms) is about 28 days, but that can vary from 15 to 50 days, and the virus can live outside of the body for several months. “It is easily spread from person to person through fecal bacteria. You have to touch a surface that is contaminated and then put your hands in your mouth to get Hepatitis A,” he explained. “Hep A can last a few weeks to a few months. For those with underlying health conditions, the impacts can be severe. Some of the deaths we see in the County have been because the victims had underlying medical conditions that prevented them from recovering. “We want to stress that Hep A is not a homeless issue, but a sanitation issue. We need be cognizant that just because we see a homeless individual on the street, that does not mean he or she has Hep A. It’s hand hygiene that prevents the spread.” He said routine hand-washing for at least 20 seconds will reduce the risk of contracting Hepatitis A, and to make sure your hand-washing time is sufficient, sing “Happy Birthday” twice. “People ask whether the water temperature makes a difference, but that’s not necessarily the case. Your hands cannot withstand 185-degree water (the temperature that kills the virus), you’re not meant for that. But washing for 20 seconds takes care of that,” Ramirez insisted.

Welcome Home !

Felice, hoping to dispel the perception that it’s only homeless people who spread Hep A, pointed out that there are “significant numbers” of substance-abusers with the affliction. “We have an opioid epidemic and that is where we’re seeing the outbreak primarily,” she said, reminding that opioids can be injected and smoked. Ramirez cited smokers as an example: “They might not wash their hands adequately and might have that fecal matter contamination. If they touch their cigarette, put it to their mouth, share that cigarette with someone, then that fecal matter traveled from their hand to their mouth and to another person.”

By the numbers

Of the 536 confirmed Hep A cases, 172 were homeless and/or drug users; 86 were homeless only, 64 were drug-users only, Felice said. Despite the findings, some forum attendees were still uncomfortable with SOME’s free meals program, which they feel brings homeless people into La Jolla. “This is the church that feeds homeless people in La Jolla,” said resident Cynthia Chasan, who is also the La Jolla Town Council Community Watch Committee co-chair. “And if these people are not properly washing their hands, they can bring this virus into our community.” In response, SOME founder Tresha Souza said she was raised to “help people in need” and that’s why she hosts the meals program. “These people need help more than ever,” she said. “What we’re lacking here, is compassion. We have the knowledge to wash our hands and sing Happy Birthday twice.” SOME provides meals every other Thursday at Mary Star of the Sea, and volunteers often create take-home meals for guests. SOME also offers a mobile food pantry. Souza explained: “our patrons consist of homeless individuals, elderly adults, and families and individuals who have homes but are having a hard time financially. We accept anyone who needs assistance.” When possible, Felice said she brings vaccines to those that come to the feeding program. Ramirez added, “We’re trying to reduce the number of infections, but there are underlying issues correlated to this outbreak. In public health, we know there is a difference between correlation and causation. Just because a homeless person has Hep A does not mean homelessness (spreads) Hep A.”

La Valencia named Grand Marshal of 2017 Christmas Parade The 60th annual La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival, themed “Christmas Jewels,” will begin at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 3 down Girard Avenue to Prospect Street, turning left to finish at the Recreation Center, where the Holiday Festival will be waiting at 615 Prospect St.

An architect’s rendering of UC San Diego North Torrey Pines Living and Learning Neighborhood, planned for the west side of UCSD campus, with construction spanning June 2018 to fall 2020 This year’s Grand Marshal, La Valencia Hotel, will join dozens of other floats, bands, marching units, equestrians, vintage vehicles (one carrying Santa Claus), Abdullah the Camel, fire engines, and many beauty queens in the two-hour pageant. The Holiday Festival will feature a kid zone with pony rides, bounce houses and educational activities — and, as a special treat, photos with Santa. The event includes

stage entertainment, community organizations and FOCAS’ annual dog adoption event. The stage entertainment begins at 2 p.m., culminating in the lighting of the Community Christmas Tree on the Rec Center lawn at 4:30 p.m. The event website — ljparade.com — includes maps, parking, street closures and donation options (approximately $45,000 is needed).

A Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the UC San Diego North Torrey Pines Living and Learning Neighborhood project has been posted and comments will be collected through Dec. 15. A public hearing on the Draft EIR will be held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 29 at the UC San Diego Faculty Club. The proposed project would redevelop a 13-acre site containing existing surface parking on the west campus, just southeast of Muir College Drive from North Torrey Pines Road. It would construct six buildings positioned around central community open space areas, and a 1,230-space underground parking garage. The building program includes the following uses: housing for approximately 2,000 undergraduate students; residential support; community retail; academic and administrative uses. Written and oral statements from interested persons or groups will be accepted at the hearing. Comments regarding accuracy of the Draft EIR can be e-mailed to env-review@ucsd.edu The EIR can be found at bit.ly/LivingLearningEIR

Vikings headed to CIF After a thriving Homecoming game on Oct. 27, the La Jolla High School Vikings are headed to CIF in Division III. They open the series against Mar Vista High School, 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10 at home, 750 Nautilus St. The two teams are evenly matched, with a 5-5 record each.

The teachings focus on promoting a healthy immune system. Tickets: $30. (858) 412-7804. riffsstudios.com

Free heart health tests for teens, Nov. 12 The Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation and a medical team led by Scripps cardiologist Dr. John Rogers will offer free heart screenings to ages 12-25, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 12 at UC San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive. The health experts will be looking to identify cardiac anomalies that may lead to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), with the ultimate goal of standardizing cardiac screenings among youth. SCA is an abnormality in the heart’s electrical system that can be detected with a simple ECG. But ECGs are not a part of a teen’s annual well-child exam or sports physical. The screening is non-invasive (no needles or X-ray exposure), painless and takes about 30 minutes to complete a health history, ECG and echocardiogram if indicated. Families will be notified of the results for follow-up with their family doctors. Register at EPSaveaLife.org where you can download and complete the parent screening packet and bring it with you Nov. 12.

OPINION

OUR READERS WRITE Fearful, sleepless night due to sorry state of police lines What follows is documentation of the non-responsiveness I received one night last week from the San Diego Police Department call lines. I’ve included the Mayor’s office and the La Jolla Light newspaper on this e-mail: The police came out the other day because a homeless man who was sleeping right outside my window in a residential area in La Jolla was screaming profanities and violent threats, as well as hitting himself. Tonight the man is back. He is so close to my window that I can hear him turning a page of newspaper outside it. I have called the police four times tonight and received no help and none is on the way. For documentation, here are my attempts: • Called 9-1-1 and was given the non-emergency line phone number; • Called the non-emergency line and waited 20 minutes with no response; • Called 9-1-1 again and told the dispatcher that I’m a woman alone in my apartment tonight and feel very unsafe. I will not be able to sleep and will need to find another place to go if I don’t receive help. The dispatcher was upset that I called 9-1-1 and had me call the non-emergency line again instead of helping me. • Called the non-emergency line and was on hold for 30 minutes. At the end of the time, a recording came up that told me they are too busy for my call and to call back later. The line automatically hung up on me. At this point, 9-1-1 will not take my call and the non-emergency line has hung up on me after waiting a total of 50 minutes. If anything happens to me or my home tonight I will hold the SDPD responsible for being non-responsive. Elizabeth Quist

Parking lot under Rec Center? No way! Contractor Tom Grunow’s proposal to build a parking lot beneath the Rec Center was a bad idea when it was last discussed about a dozen years ago, and it remains a bad one today. The science literature is clear about the harmful effects of ozone, fine particulate matter, and carbon monoxide on hearts and lungs. Carbon monoxide combines with hemoglobin 200 times faster than oxygen, forcing oxygen out of our circulatory systems. Ozone adversely affects a person’s breathing pattern and causes the airways of the lungs to become smaller and more resistant to oxygen exchange. The last I knew, Ms. Scripps’ vision of the Rec Center was a place to exercise. Generations of La Jollans have enjoyed its lawns, play equipment and tennis courts. Now those motivated by financial gain (the community entities surrounding the Rec Center) support imperiling the health of everyone who enjoys it. Let them publicly join with Mr. Grunow in persuading La Jollans to sacrifice our Rec Center for a parking structure with astroturf on its roof. Scott Bentley

I found this sweet “first” love note on the street the night after Halloween among the discarded candy wrappers. I thought to share it with La Jolla Light readers, who I hope will be as charmed by it as I was! — Martin Bunzl the 1500 block of Coast Walk and Torrey Pines Road. As one of five residents who lives along the view corridor and maintains the portion impacting our home in cooperation with our neighbors and the City, I must respond to the blanket issue that the view is being “swallowed up once again.” This is not even close to true and, in fact, any concerns should be directed to a single resident from Coast Walk Trail who refuses to cooperate with any trimming along Torrey Pines Road. We believe this resident is attempting to maintain some screening for his home, resulting from the impact of the lowered fence. Folks, please direct all concerns to the resident via mail and know that the rest of the neighbors are working cooperatively with each other and the City. B. Fake and T. Rushfeldt

Jeff’s Burgers will be missed I, along with other La Jolla Shores residents, am mourning the loss of Jeff’s Burgers on Avenida de la Playa. Jeff’s Burgers was part of the La Jolla Shores beach community ambience for four decades. I can’t even count how many wonderful burgers I ate there with my daughter over the years. The different pictures of La Jolla Shores on the wall, the old marked-up tables inside and the smell of sunscreen made eating there an experience, not just having a another meal that is easily forgotten. We used to love seeing people of all ages in their beach attire eating their burgers and fries. There is no equivalent at The Shores. Jeff’s Burgers was not just another restaurant, but a cultural icon and part of the history of this

community. It will be missed. I know I should embrace change, but I’m not looking forward to something new and shiny trying to take its place. Sarita Uhr

High school track belongs to community I’m a parent of a recent La Jolla High graduate, and next year, my daughter will be a freshman. I’ve contributed both my time and money to the school, and with that said, I’m appalled by Principal Podhorsky’s “Guest Commentary” in the Light a couple of weeks ago. His exclusionist attitude is anathema to what a community leader should be; someone creating healthy and safe spaces for its members. On weekends, my son used to practice football at the school and it was a wonderful outlet. I do not buy Mr. Podhorsky’s claim over “concerns about safety and vandalism.” I do believe that my community values the school and has treated it accordingly. K. Carter

Knights Triumph Over Torreys 66-6

Bishop’s football heads to CIF after Bish Bowl win BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON here was just no stopping The Bishop’s School Knights during the “Bish Bowl” game against the La Jolla Country Day School Torreys, Nov. 3. The Knights walked away victorious, 66-6, and heading straight to CIF. The Bishop’s School’s version of a homecoming game, the Bish Bowl was played at Gene Edwards Stadium at La Jolla High and featured a costumed “mascot race” at half-time, with a runner representing each class. Bishop’s football coach Joel Allen called the victory the “ultimate team win,” adding “We scored in all three phases of the game — offense, defense and special teams — with many different players making big plays.” The game belonged to Bishop’s from the start, when a Torrey offside kick opened the match on the Bishop’s 37-yard line, giving the Knights an early advantage. The Torreys did their best to block the Knight’s incremental movement toward the end zone, at one point stopping them within a few feet of the goal line. But banding together, the Knights

to also use La Jolla in their names — felt that it was an issue. Jordan Lee, a manager at La Jolla Vacuum Center, called the marketing practice “a little scheme-y.” “If you’re not in La Jolla and you call your business a La Jolla business, that is, first and foremost, misleading,” Lee said. “Businesses are supposed to be upfront, very transparent with people, and not really do those sorts of things.” “It’s deceiving,” echoed Mark Smith, owner of La Jolla Shirt Company. “I think it’s a disservice to the public.” Dr. Skip George, owner of La Jolla Sport & Spine, opined: “Yeah, it would be great if we could keep La Jolla in 92037 ... though my business hasn’t been impacted, I could see the point where other businesses want to maintain La Jolla as a brand.” In addition to potentially misleading clientele into thinking they’re dealing with actual La Jolla businesses, these misrepresentations can pose a hazard to La Jolla’s image — and real-estate values.

Some straight talk on sugar and cancer I’d like to offer my heartfelt condolences to Catherine L. Kaufman, the “Kitchen Shrink,” for the recent loss of her mother to breast cancer. Catherine’s Oct. 12 column for Breast Cancer Awareness Month was especially well-written and must have been difficult to write under the circumstances. As a board-certified specialist in oncology nutrition, I feel compelled, however, to clarify the relationship between added sugars and cancer risk. Sugar, regardless of source, does not directly cause cancer. Rather it is the association between added sugar and being overweight or obese that is strongly correlated with cancer risk. The CDC reported earlier this month that weight is a risk factor for at least 13 types of cancer, including breast cancer. Cutting back on added sugars may be one strategy people might use to manage

ago by one builder to call a University City apartment complex “La Jolla Crossroads,” most people who live in the Village, five miles away, got urgent e-mails, phone calls or Facebook messages on April 30, 2017. People wanted to know they were safe after — as many Internet stories misreported — one person was shot dead and seven others injured at a pool party “in a La Jolla apartment complex.” Did anyone unfamiliar with the area think twice about relocating themselves or their businesses to La Jolla because of that event? No one can say for certain. “I don’t know anybody who brought it up to me, but it would make sense,” said Eugenia Garcia, real-estate agent at Harcourts Prestige Properties, who explained a large percentage of her business involves settling newcomers into town. “It has to have a negative impact.” Of course, nothing can legally be done about businesses that want to use “La Jolla” in their names. We are all free to name our businesses after any place we like — as long as there’s no trademark infringement.

their weight. All added sugars are composed of glucose and/or fructose and are empty calories. “Natural” sugars are not healthier. While honey and maple syrup may contain some potentially healthful compounds, they are present in amounts too small to confer benefit. Stevia, also mentioned by Kaufman, is a calorie-free sugar substitute that may help some people cut back on their calorie intake from sugar. In addition to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, the American Institute for Cancer Research recommends following a plant-based diet and getting at least 150 minutes of exercise a week to reduce cancer risk.

Female students listen to a harrowing (though PG-rated) story of attempted sexual assault from human book Veronica Murphy at the La Jolla Country Day School library.

La Jolla Country Day School ninth-grader Evan Spoelstra, left, learns about Judaism from Rabbi Yael Ridberg of Congregation Dor Hadash.

La Jolla Country Day students check out human library books

BY COREY LEVITAN Evan Spoelstra appeared hesitant at first, when asked to define his concept of a rabbi to an actual rabbi. “I might be wrong, don’t quote me on this,” the ninth-grade La Jolla Country Day School student told Rabbi Yael Ridberg of Congregation Dor Hadash, “but I think a rabbi is some sort of priest in the Jewish religion.” “Ding, ding, ding!” Ridberg replied. On Friday, Nov. 3, LJCDS transformed its book library into a human one. The “human library” program asks students to imagine people as books. Instead of reading them, students can simply ask the books whatever they want. Sometimes, as with Ridberg, the books ask questions back.

“The goal is to break stereotypes and to bring the community closer together,” explained French teacher Natalie Rachel, who organized the event after attending a human library staged at the Central Library in March. (The program was pioneered in Denmark, where it’s so big, it gave birth to a TV series.) LJCDS students attended the human library from 9 a.m. to noon — some with their classes, others alone during free periods. They got 20 minutes each with any of 16 books they wanted to sit down with and learn about. These also included an actor, a cookbook author and a podcaster. A couple of books were more solemn reads. Myanmar refugee Way Hlaing talked about the four years he spent in a

refugee camp as a child after his family was exiled by the Burmese government, while Veronica Murphy — a co-founder of the Write Out Loud program identified by a placard reading “theater professional and assault survivor” — told a harrowing story of attempted rape that had four female students on the verge of tears. “I was screaming, and in order to get me to stop, he took three fingers and put them in my mouth and down my throat,” Murphy said. “I just kept making as much noise as I could, thinking that perhaps a neighbor might hear me. Ultimately, I think that’s what frightened him away.” Rachel called the human library event a “complete success,” and LJCDS senior Lauren Mikuriya agreed. “I complain about things and feel like everything’s going wrong,” Mikuriya said. “Yet it’s refreshing to know that there are people who are going through so much more, to say the very least, and yet they’re still going, day by day, to make progress.” La Jolla Country Day School expects to repeat the program next spring.

Ivan S. Ankenbrandt, M.D. September 18, 1926 - October 25, 2017

La JOLLa — Ivan S. ankenbrandt, M.D., 91, soared home October 25, 2017. He was born on September 18, 1926 to Leo and Josephine ankenbrandt on their farm in Mt. Carmel, IL, the fourth of six children. Ivan graduated from Mt. Carmel High School in 1944. He then served in the army and was stationed in Korea at the end of WWII. He received his bachelor’s degree on the GI Bill from Washington University in St Louis, and then went on to medical school at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Cook County Hospital in Chicago was where he served his

residency. His perpetual sense of adventure brought him to San Diego in 1954, where he set up a private practice as a General Practitioner on 975 Hornblend, Pacific Beach. He devotedly served

hundreds of patients until he retired in 1990. Ivan was raised on a farm and continued to farm, ranch and garden throughout his life. He was an avid sportsman who was dedicated to health and the outdoors. He very much enjoyed fishing, long distance running, jazz and surfing. He was a particularly passionate skier; the ski mountain at Jackson Hole, WY was his favorite. Perhaps “the oldest guy out there,” he still could be found on Rendezvous Bowl in his 80’s. Ivan is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Suzanne; daughters, Lisa

and Christina; sons, andre and Brandon; brother, Jerome ankenbrandt of Phoenix, aZ; and sister, Jocelyn Sommerhof of Edwardsville, IL. He has seven grandchildren, David, alex, Torrey, Ian, august, axel, and aero. a celebration of his life will be held on November 15, 2017, at 11am, at Saint Brigid Catholic Church, 4735 Cass St, Pacific Beach Ca. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Father Joe’s Villages of San Diego. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS

San Diego Police issue tips for avoiding home burglary

S

an Diego Police Community Relations officer Larry Hesselgesser drafted a lengthy report about residential burglaries and posted it on nextdoor.com Here are some of his suggestions on how to avoid being an easy target: ■ Consider owning a dog (burglars hate attention). If you don’t have a dog, make it look as if you have a large dog. Simply putting a large dog toy inside the side gate may deter a burglar. ■ Install an alarm system. ■ Video surveillance systems are affordable nowadays and a great deterrent. Doorbell and small video systems are a cheaper alternative to video cameras. ■ Visually inspect your rear yard. If a burglar enters undetected into your backyard, anticipate how they will try to break into your home and “harden the target.” ■ Do not have an open-door policy when it comes to burglars. Lock your front door,

even when you are home. ■ When no one is at home, always keep your doors and windows locked. ■ Do not leave jewelry and cash where it is easy to find or visible through a window. ■ Install solid-core doors with deadbolt locks. ■ Use locking pins or dowels on sliding windows and doors (1-2 inch gap if needed for ventilation). ■ Engrave a personal identification number on valuable items such as electronics. ■ Take close-up, detailed photos of expensive jewelry. ■ Prepare and keep safe a list of valuable items and their serial or personal identification numbers. ■ Use a radio/light timing device when on vacation (search online for “fake TV” as an option). ■ Have a neighbor pick up your mail and newspaper (or request a vacation hold), and ask them to periodically check on your house

when you’re on vacation. Arrange for a vacation check by our Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol (RSVP) by calling (858) 552-1737. ■ Be alert and observant. Alert neighbors are responsible for the majority of arrests made in residential burglaries. If something appears suspicious, immediately contact the police department at (619) 531-2000, or dial 9-1-1 to report a crime in progress.

Private Mortgage Banking

Exceptional service for your next home purchase or refinance Whether you want to purchase or refinance a higher-priced primary residence or a second/vacation home, we specialize in jumbo financing — so chances are, we have what you’re looking for. • Recast option — With no transaction fee, you can lower your monthly payment without refinancing by “recasting” your loan after making a large principal payment.1 You will have a lower monthly mortgage payment, but you may pay more interest over the full mortgage term than you would by making a principal reduction without using the recast option. • A wide variety of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate terms — with our jumbo ARMs, the first rate adjustment cannot be more than 2% — unlike other lenders with a first adjustment rate cap that may be as high as 5%. • Cash purchase options — You can purchase with cash up-front and get a mortgage within 90 days of purchase.2 Contact me today.

West Side (of L.A.) Story

M

La Jolla Cultural Partners

y son and daughter-in-law really thought their extensive kitchen remodel would be done when they booked us four months in advance to babysit our 3-, 6-, and 8-year-old grandkids in L.A. for six days while they went on a 10th wedding anniversary trip. As the time of their trip approached, it became clear that the kitchen would not be fully operational. By “not fully operational,” I mean there was no kitchen whatsoever. For two long months already, they had been in full survival mode using a small windowless basement room with a table stacked with plasticware, paper plates, a microwave, a toaster oven, lots of cereal, and a five-gallon bottle of water. The fridge and freezer were marooned on the far side of the attached garage. The question was: Could two 70-year-olds manage in this situation? It was the stairs that concerned me. We have a one-story home. And 70-year-old knees. But we couldn’t bear to have them cancel their trip. (They offered.) Further, the three kids went to three different schools, and the two older ones had a full schedule of sports practices and games. Some excerpts from my journal: Friday, 12 noon: Got there just in time to go

with sitter to pick up 3-year-old at preschool. Our dog Lily pooped all over swanky school’s front lawn. In haste to get there on time, forgot poop bags. Grandson’s academic career could be over before it begins. Friday, 1 p.m.: Yup, definitely no kitchen here! Skill saws, power tools, and mariachi music going full blast. Friday night: 5 p.m. Decided to go pick up Mexican food for dinner, 3.9 miles from house. Took 45 minutes EACH WAY. That averages 5.2 miles per hour. Babysitter said that sounded about right for L.A. Friday night: Babysitter showed Olof how to set the house alarm before she left. “Do NOT go outside once you set it,” she admonished. So once the kids were finally asleep, I tiptoed downstairs to get a much-needed glass of chardonnay from the refrigerator in the garage only to set the alarm off, waking up the kids. How was I to know that a garage connected to a house is “outside”? Needed second glass of chardonnay for medicinal purposes. Saturday morning, 7:30 a.m.: Construction guys showed up, unscheduled. I asked them to turn down the music but they said that then they couldn’t hear it over the power saw. Sunday: No construction today! But, of course, we weren’t home either. Had three soccer practices (including 3-year-old’s Soccer Skills

class) and a baseball game. At soccer practice we were busted for “illegal chairs.” Only folding chairs with round silver frames were allowed as any others might dent the artificial turf. Field Gestapo demanded that we fold up chairs immediately and stand. Baseball game fortunately had actual grass, suitable for all chair types. Piled by the front door are three school back packs, three soccer bags, and one baseball bag. Before leaving the house for practices and games, we inquire, does everybody have shin guards? Ball? Cleats? Water? They’d always say yes. In point of fact, at least one item for each kid will be missing. Kids now required to physically produce all items. We are slow learners, but trainable. Sunday night: Trying to get three kids up, dressed and fed in non-kitchen, ready to leave by 7:15, is going to be a challenge. Monday morning: The only source of running water on the basement and main floor levels is the tiny powder room sink in the foyer. It’s amazing how few actual dishes you can use under those circumstances. Monday night: The bedrooms are all on the second floor. Or really third floor to us since a significant amount of our time seemed to be spent trekking up and down from dungeon kitchen to main floor to bedrooms. Whatever you need is always on a floor where you are not. This is the ultimate StairMaster workout. Monday: How on earth have my son and daughter-in-law survived this for two months already? My admiration for them grows by the minute. Tuesday 8 a.m.: When the kids’ rides leave at 7:15 every morning, there always seems to be one lunch still sitting on the dining room table. Uh-oh. Tuesday, 9 p.m.: We make sure all adult beverages have been consumed before setting the alarm since ice is in the garage.

INGA

Olof goes outside to escape deafening kitchen remodel noise only to be assailed by a leaf blower. Wednesday: There is truly no escaping the deafening construction noise. This morning, Olof went out to the patio to read only to have the gardener show up with his leaf blower. Wednesday: It’s been a long time since I watched kids’ TV. Going into Octonauts overload. Thursday: Adore the grandkids and loved the time with them but have definitely felt our age. Meanwhile, I’m betting that the best meal my son and daughter-in-law ever eat is the first one they make in a working kitchen. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

BY JEANNE RAWDIN It’s called the Memory Disease, and it’s the new epidemic. Alzheimer’s and dementia are overtaking millions of seniors at alarming rates. Elizabeth Lonseth has written a book on the subject, “A Gradual Disappearance,” and she spoke about her family’s struggles with Memory Disease on Oct. 11 at the Oakmont Assisted Living Center in Pacific Beach. The audience included caregivers, seniors, family members and health professionals. Lonseth’s book recounts the tale of how she and her husband took the journey of caregiver four times over — first with her father, then with both of her husband’s parents, and finally with her mother — all who were diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Throughout the story, Lonseth offers tips on the struggles that come with caregiving. She started her presentation with some staggering statistics: One in three seniors will die with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. One in 10 people over age 65 have Alzheimer’s. Two out of three of those are women. Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Her personal introduction to the disease occurred when her father was diagnosed with vascular dementia during the last two years of his life, occurring after 14 years of heart attacks and strokes. Lonseth was in her mid-30s, married, raising three children and busy with a career in interior design. She recalls her regret and denial in accepting the sad situation. “It was heartbreaking to watch my father, a forest geneticist, function on the level of a child,” she recalled. “I was not as supportive of my mother as I should have been. Occasionally, I would give my mother a break, but I wish now I had done more.” Seven years later, the same reality hit full force again with her husband’s parents. “At first, my husband and I made the mistake of trying to correct his parents’ behavior and

attempted to help them learn again what they had lost. That didn’t work. They only became frustrated and more agitated,” she said. So instead, the couple began coming alongside them and joining them in their reality. “We began to try to figure out where they were in their head at the moment — maybe 16 again, or in another part of the world,” she explained. “My cousin told me to ask them, ‘How old are you today?’ Their answers often gave us clues as to how to interact with them.” And finally, it was her mother who got Alzheimer’s. She lost her motor skills as part of her disease, and Lonseth hired an in-home caregiver 20 hours a week. She learned to recruit family members and friends to help out, too. “A neighbor girl was hired to put mom’s dinner in the microwave and chat with her while she ate,” Lonseth related. “As we needed more help, a friend of my daughter’s become the afternoon and evening caregiver. Occasionally, she would take mom to church. Two of my daughters took turns living with their grandma so the night shift and weekends were covered. I came in every Thursday to give everyone a break.” (She had to take a plane flight weekly to do so.) Throughout all the years of caregiving — however grueling — Lonseth said she also learned a lot about how to handle what seemed like a hopeless situation. “It’s financial, it’s emotional, it’s dealing with the medical system, and it’s planning for the

Author Elizabeth Lonseth future,” she noted. “You can’t stop it, but you can prepare for it. “Knowing how to communicate is crucial. You need a lot of patience because your loved ones need time to process what you’re saying. Stay on one subject when talking. Pick your battles carefully. And avoid saying no. Instead, say things like ‘I wish we could.’ ‘Wouldn’t that be nice?’ ‘That’s a great idea.’ ‘That sounds fun for next time.’ ”

LONSETH’S OTHER TIPS FOR HANDLING THE JOURNEY ■ Create special moments with your loved one, like going on picnics or sharing music together. ■ Keep a journal of events or things they say, like funny one-liners. ■ Use humor on a daily basis, it goes a long way. ■ Do constant research on the disease as the patient’s needs change. ■ Get professional help to free you up from physical care. ■ Take a break. If you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of others. Lonseth notes that a huge part of the problem in treating Alzheimer’s patients is denial. “Too many people are falling through the cracks and not being diagnosed until they are well into the mid-stage of Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia. Lack of education on the part of family-practice doctors and family members creates problems.”

temperatures and burning trash at home. He also describes the simple customs of Macedonian natives. “Shoes are removed when entering a home, clothes are air-dried (electricity is very expensive), people keep neat homes and they actively maintain good relationships with their neighbors.” Mann writes that one of the biggest surprises is how beautiful the country is, and how it remains undiscovered by most Americans: “The topography is gentle rolling hills with flat and terraced farmland. In the

distance, the higher hills are a hint of the country’s steeper mountain terrain where snow is now falling.” Mann is experiencing his own steep climb when it comes to learning the language. “With over six hours of classes every weekday (plus homework!), I am humbled on a regular basis,” he jokes, “I can currently converse effectively with one-year-old children.” He said he hopes to become fluent in the language before he returns to the States, and notes that Macedonian is closely related to the

Let’s talk turkey and other fowls (Part 2)

I

’d like to continue with the fowl dialogue from last week’s column to help you navigate through the shoals of birdland so you can prepare and enjoy an elegant and scrumptious Thanksgiving meal with a non-turkey poultry taking the place of honor at the holiday table.

Coming Home to Roost

The capon, la-di-da, once a luxury bird enjoyed by upper-crust European families for Christmas dinner, has now become a popular (and affordable) offering in this country during the holiday season. Alas, the capon is a rooster that has been castrated before puberty, which reduces the testosterone levels, turning its brawn into blubber. This slightly gamy-tasting bird has a high proportion of white (breast) to dark meat that is more fatty, flavorful and tender than its un-neutered counterparts. Weighing between 6 to 10 pounds, the succulent capon is larger than a chicken and smaller than a turkey best prepared like a broiler either roasted or braised, usually in red wine with wild mushrooms, or lemon thyme. Serve with roasted roots or fingerlings, and cranberry orange relish, though the capon is moist, and doesn’t need sauces or gravies.

Hail to the Quail

Dainty quail, small ground-nesting birds comprising 46 species, while sharing a common ancestor, are all distant relatives. For some reason, the tender, delicate-flavored bird is intimidating to many cooks who will order the dish at fine dining establishments, but are leery to prepare it at home. As an average quail weighs roughly 5 ounces (bones and all), it is best served whole and stuffed (with fresh fennel, pecans, dried cherries and French breadcrumbs), one for each guest as an elegant Thanksgiving change up. Whether smoked, grilled, roasted or braised, this pint-size poultry is done to perfection when the flesh is firm to the touch and the juices run clear.

Combo Plate

The decadent culinary concept of stuffing smaller animals inside of larger ones harks back to glutinous emperors of the mighty Roman Empire. These entertaining gustatory art works continued throughout the centuries, and became known as “Russian doll roasts,” since these concoctions were reminiscent of Matryoshka nesting dolls. In the Napoleonic era, a French lawyer cum gastronome extraordinaire, Alexandre-Laurent Grimod de La Reyniere,

hosted lavish dinner parties and launched a food lover’s almanac featuring an outlandish creation he called, “roti sans pareil,” that translates to “roast without equal.” A large bustard was stuffed with a turkey, followed by a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, along with other wild game, and finishing with diminutives, including the quail and lark. This culinary lollapalooza was the precursor to the modern Turducken, which humbles in comparison. Turducken eases a deboned chicken into a deboned duck, into a deboned turkey with assorted stuffings, such as sausage, oyster and cornbread swathed between the fowl lawyers. In Britain, the Gooducken is a popular holiday dish, replacing the turkey with a goose. If you really want to pig out, another variation called “fowl de cochon” crams a whole turducken into a small deboned swine.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Turkey Bacon

Faux Fowls

■ Ingredients: 2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved lengthwise; 6 ounces turkey bacon, diced; 8 shallots, diced; juice and zest from one Meyer lemon; 1/3-cup extra virgin olive oil; 2 tablespoons balsamic syrup or glaze

Swan Song

■ Method: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, shallots, salt and pepper. In a large mixing bowl, add Brussels sprouts and bacon, and toss with dressing until well coated. Add mixture to a cookie sheet, spreading evenly. Bake for about 20 minutes or until tender and golden. Drizzle balsamic glaze and sprinkle with lemon zest. Enjoy hot or cold.

For those who don’t do bird, there’s the classic Tofurky, a whole mock tofu (soybean) turkey with traditional seasonings to replicate the real McCoy. Other options include seitan or “wheat meat” made from the grain protein (gluten) that resembles meat in taste and texture, or mushrooms, beets, carrots, parsnips, and other roots cleverly disguised as a whole bird or stuffed loaf. While the swan was served at the inaugural Thanksgiving feast at Plymouth, Massachusetts today this graceful yet destructive bird is considered taboo across the lands as a culinary offering. It is even illegal to eat, particularly in England where the swan is the property of Her Majesty, granted protected status.

Preserving La Jolla’s Historic Architecture while Moving into the Future

While San Diego isn’t particularly well known for its distinctive architecture, La Jolla is home to some incredible examples of both classic and modernist buildings. In addition, the Village of La Jolla contains pockets of historic homes that have survived the overall expansion and subdivision of the neighborhood and region. Notable structures here include the La Jolla Women’s Club, designed by one of the preeminent Modernist architects, Irving Gill, and the historic Spanish-School style La Valencia hotel, long an icon on La Jolla’s oceanfront. Up on the hill, La Jolla Mesa houses the iconic Salk Institute and the Geisel Library at UCSD, two incredible buildings with forward-thinking,

On the residential front, La Jolla is home to is the historic Camino de la Costa, a street that boasts magnificent yet understated homes, most of which are thoroughly modern, yet borrow heavily from San Diego’s past. Looking to the future, many local people worry that new development and evolving technology will cost La Jolla some of the charm that makes this one of the country’s most prestigious neighborhoods. But while this fear exists whenever, and wherever, a community deals with change, La Jolla has a history of effectively adapting to the latest trends and styles. Just look at our history: La Jolla’s homebuilders originally drew from the Spanish Colonial style and mission architecture, building with stucco, wood columns and red tile roofs. Local architects also borrowed the hacienda style from Mexico, and these two styles dominated even into the 20th century. Then, from the mid-1800s until the turn of the 20th century, Victorian-style homes proliferated, before metamorphosing into La Jolla’s vibrant arts and crafts movement, during which craftsmanstyle homes became all the rage. In turn, this

style gave way — evolved — into smaller versions of craftsmen homes, beach bungalows, creating an image that possibly has defined La Jolla architecture more than any other. Building on La Jolla’s beach-chic aesthetic, the neighborhood saw a boom in Mid-Century Modern architecture in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, a style that once again developed the look of the community. Today, somehow, all of these eclectic styles coexist, with some borrowing from the others. Even La Jolla’s newest and grandest mansions now incorporate much of the look of the old styles, quietly hiding practical, modern features under the glamor and style of more classic architecture. Of course, technology is always changing the way we build, and the debate over local architecture in the future will be about more than just arches versus straight lines. Most homes are now being built with sustainability, green building and technology at the core of the project, transitioning La Jolla into a new architectural phase with eco-consciousness as the guiding philosophy. Not so sure? Even homeowners who are skeptical or hesitant about smart homes likely already have smart appliances, or utilize their

smart devices, such as tablets, to operate their entertainment systems, HVAC or security systems. San Diego, especially La Jolla, has always adapted to blend new designs with traditional ones. The very concept of “traditional” La Jolla architecture has always involved adaptability. In order to appeal to the public, architects and designers will have to continue to appeal to new tastes while retaining and protecting buildings that fall under historical preservation. And, as has been the case throughout La Jolla’s rich history, some of the best breakthroughs in style and function come from blending competing needs. With La Jolla’s storied past in stellar and forward-looking architectural designs, the charm and beauty of the Jewel will remain constantly evolving, and always exciting. At GDC Construction, we have a long tradition of preserving and renovating San Diego’s storied past. And we’re experts in blending that rich past with the very latest in modern design, technology and comfort. Let us help you make the balance between the past and the future on your next construction or renovation project.

La Jolla High School grads launch Invyte app BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Corbin Fargo and John Weil (La Jolla High Class of 2011 and 2012) have developed an app to ease the process of creating events and inviting friends to them. More organized than text messaging, more centralized than Facebook and less formal than evite, the Invyte app went live in August for iPhones and is available for free. “The idea is to create spontaneous events in the long- and short-term. Long-term is considered nine days and anything less than that is short-term. You have your evite, Facebook and texting (the latter of which) is how most spontaneous events are planned, but when you have a bunch of people texting, details can get lost,” explained Weil. “This way, you can have all the details in one place, along with a place for people to say whether they are going. “There is also a message board connected to that event so attendees can chat or ask questions. The address is click-able and opens in a map. It integrates with Apple calendar, so it goes to your calendar and you get reminders. There is also a privacy setting that allows for you to limit the invitation to those you wish, or open it up so your friends can invite their friends.” Added Fargo, “It’s an easy, informal tool. You wouldn’t create an evite to get beers with friends after work that same day. If people have the app, they get a push notification (similar to a text message) when they’re invited to something. Most other apps use a web-based system rather than

The Invyte app for iPhone allows users to create and find events.

La Jolla residents and Invyte founders Corbin Fargo and John Weil, with their first employee Brian Ruthenberg push notification. We’re technically the only event app that works this way.” Weil and Fargo began working on the app a few years ago, but for Fargo, it was a longtime off-and-on project, as he explained: “I started working on the app right out of high school … and took a break, went to college, worked on it on and off for three years.” Fargo recently graduated with an accounting major from University of San Diego. Weil is a marketing major at San Diego State University. One day, while at the Starbucks on Torrey Pines Road, Fargo bumped into his former tennis teammate, Weil. The two were “acquaintances” in high school and

They decided to work together to develop the app and released an early incarnation to supporters and gathered feedback. The version available for download is now what Forbes calls version 1.2. “As we gain traction, our goal is to make it easy for businesses to advertise,” Weil said. “It can be hard for businesses to know that their demographic is seeing the advertising they are putting out, so we want to geo-fence an area, and businesses can purchase access to that, so when someone with the app

LA JOLLA LIGHT - NOVEMBER 9, 2017 - PAGE B19

UCSD Theater/Dance to stage four enticing works BY WILL BOWEN The UC San Diego Theater & Dance Department is rated with the likes of Yale and New York University. Many of its graduates have become successful in the entertainment business: playwright alum Rachel Axler, for example, has won four Emmys for TV comedy writing, while actor Danny Burstein has been nominated for six Tonys and two Grammy Awards, and actor Maria Dizzia has been in 20 movies and 16 television shows. And that’s just a tiny chapter of the department’s success stories. Each academic quarter it offers performances the public may attend. Usually, the plays are contemporary pieces that employ the latest developments in lighting, design, costumes and directing. Other times they’re a revival of a classic that has faded into obscurity. Either way, be prepared for the unexpected! The price of admission is another plus. UCSD students pay $5 for a ticket; alumni tickets are $10, and if you buy a season subscription it’s an absolute steal in comparison to the cost of other theater events around town. Parking is free for theater events on Saturday or Sunday, and during the week, one can get a parking pass in front of La Jolla Playhouse for just $2. One of my favorite things about being a season subscriber is getting to see the acting students develop over their three-year training. It is really quite impressive.

‘What of the Night?’

Fall quarter 2017 has especially interesting productions. The first, “What of the Night?” opens at 2 p.m. Nov. 11 at Potiker Theater, with additional shows Nov. 14-18. On the short list for a Pulitzer Prize in 1990, “What of the Night?” was written by Maria Irene Fornes, a Cuban-American playwright/director during

the 1960s, best known for her boldness and plot twists. She won her first two Obies in 1965 and went on to win a total of nine. “What of the Night?” is four interlocking plays that follow four family members over a 60-year period. Once called a “sweeping portrayal of society,” the production examines how a person’s economic situation effects them and defines their intimate relationships. It is directed by Katie Pearl, a visiting Quinn Martin directing fellow. Pearl earned a Writing for Performance MFA from Brown University in 2015 and is currently a fellow at Princeton, a lecturer at Harvard, and the co-artistic director of the PearlDamour theater company, another Obie award winner. Pearl said she befriended Fornes and has visited the now elderly playwright in the nursing home where she’s being treated for Alzheimer’s. “I held her hand and read her her play, although she probably didn’t remember that she wrote it,” Pearl sighed.

‘The Green Cockatoo’

The next play, “The Green Cockatoo,” opens 7 p.m. Nov. 15 in the Forum Theater, with additional shows Nov. 17-20. It was written in 1899 by Viennese doctor-turned-writer, Arthur Schnitzler

JON REIMER

(1862-1931). Schnitzler’s books were banned by Adolf Hitler and burned in 1933, along with the writings of Einstein, Marx, Kafka and Freud. One of Schnitzler’s short stories was adapted by Stanley Kubrick to become his final film, “Eyes Wide Shut.” The setting for “The Green Cockatoo” is Paris on July 14, 1789. A ragtag theater group is performing for members of the aristocracy and it’s not clear if the players are insulting the aristocrats or just telling them the truth about their forthcoming downfall in The French Revolution. Marco Barricelli, head of the graduate acting program at UCSD, directs. “The first time I came across this play was in 1978 when I was a student at Julliard. I was mesmerized by its performance. I knew that one day I had to be involved with it. The juxtaposition of what is real and what is acting in the play is terribly exciting! Schnitzler is a master playwright and his work explores the deepest and most dangerous aspects of his characters, while at the same time playing with the form of theater itself.”

‘She Kills Monsters’

There is also an undergraduate play, “She Kills Monsters,” directed by UCSD alum and

acting teacher Jennifer Chang, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Dec. 6-9 in the Theodore and Adele Shank Theatre. Written by Vietnamese-American author Qui Nguyen, “She Kills Monsters” is a comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games. Nguyen has been a TV writer and now works for Marvel Comics studio. “The play is the story of Agnes Evans, as she leaves her childhood home in Ohio, following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly,” Chang explained. “When Agnes finds Tilly’s ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ notebook, she stumbles into a world of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly’s refuge. I chose this play because it was immediate, accessible and emotionally charged.” Chang earned a BFA from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and an MFA from UCSD where she was an Arthur Wagner Scholar and won an Excellence in Teaching award. She is also a founding member of Chalk Repertory Theater.

‘Before the horses crash into the ground’

In closing, there will be a MFA dance performance directed by Veronica Santiago Moniello titled: “Before the horses crash into the ground, and then the ground,” 7:30 p.m. Dec. 7-9 in the Potiker Theatre. Moniello hails from Venezuela where she went to dance school while a member of five dance companies. She spent five years studying dance in Germany on a scholarship before coming to the UCSD program. The theme of her piece, she said, is “how the space that a dance is performed in conditions that dance and how the dance in turn modifies the space.” ■ IF YOU GO: Tickets and times at theatre.ucsd.edu

Willis Allen welcomes ‘bi-national’ realtor FROM WILLIS ALLEN REAL ESTATE Emaluisa B. Serhan has joined the ranks at Willis Allen Real Estate’s headquarters in La Jolla. Serhan, originally from Tijuana, said she’s lived a very bi-national life, attending school in both countries and owning homes in San Diego and Tijuana. She and her husband purchased a home in the Muirlands area with the help of Willis Allen’s Drew Nelson, which she said hooked her on residential real estate. “I go to open houses just for fun — that’s how much I love real estate!” Serhan said. “Willis Allen is the best and most prestigious agency in the region, and I respect their tradition, work ethic, professional team and the roots they have established in San Diego for 100-plus years.” Serhan’s charitable values also align with those of Willis Allen. Nine years ago, she co-founded Together for Charity, which gives 50 children from a Tijuana orphanage a better shot at life by paying their utility bills and living expenses, and providing food for them throughout the year. “As a philanthropist and mom of two young boys, Emaluisa is keenly connected to the community, which makes her a good resource for families looking to buy in La Jolla,” said Jane Granados, Willis Allen’s Chief Operating Officer & Managing Broker.

San Diego home prices climb 7.8 percent in year San Diego home prices rose 0.9 percent between July and August, and increased 7.8 percent from August of last year, according to the latest Standard & Poor’s CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices. The annual increase was the third-largest among the 20 major real estate markets tracked by S&P. The indices were created by taking the price of homes in those cities in January 2000, assigning them a value of 100, and tracking their subsequent rise and fall. In August, San Diego’s mark was at 245.55, representing a home value increase of nearly two and a half times over nearly 18 years. Prices have risen at a greater rate only in Los Angeles. The 20-city index stood at 202.87 in August, up 0.4 percent for the month and 5.9 percent on an annual basis. David Blitzer, managing director and chairman of the Index Committee at S&P

Dow Jones Indices, pointed out that the jump in housing prices has outstripped inflation and costs of other goods and commodities, with only oil coming close. “The ongoing rise in home prices poses questions of why prices are climbing and whether they will continue to outpace most of the economy,” Blitzer said. “Currently, low mortgage rates combined with an improving economy are supporting home prices.” He said the price gains aren’t just a rebound from the financial crisisbecause they’re reaching all-time highs nationally and in many individual markets. However, affordability — long a problem in San Diego and the rest of California - is beginning to slip nationally, shrinking the pool of prospective buyers, according to Blitzer. He also said that mortgage rates will eventually follow moves by the Federal Reserve to boost interest rates. — City News Service
