BY ASHLEY MACKIN In preparation for its March 3 election, the La Jolla Community Planning Association held a forum at its Feb. 4 meeting to allow interested candidates to make a statement. There are 10 candidates running for eight available trustee seats. LJCPA president Cindy Greatrex said the election will take place from 3 to 7 p.m. and after closing, the ballots will be counted. The tally will be presented to the president who, as soon as practical, will certify and announce the results during the meeting. The top six vote getters will serve three-year terms, the seventh highest vote-getter will serve a two-year term, and the eighth highest vote-getter will serve a one-year term. New trustees will be seated in April at the start of the regular meeting. SEE CANDIDATES, A4

Traffic board discusses fixes to Fay Bike Path BY ASHLEY MACKIN When it comes to improving safety on the Fay Avenue Bike Path, there are a number of different avenues to explore, a committee charged with sprucing up the path has learned. At the La Jolla Traffic & Transportation advisory board (T&T) meeting Feb. 17, the different options — and their possible complications — were discussed. After walking the path in January (which extends from Genter Street through La Jolla Hermosa), committee members La Jollan Stuart Gimber and La Jolla Parks & Beaches member Sally Miller came up with a list of safety concerns and possible fixes. “The asphalt is in poor shape, there are cracks and potholes we might like to look at, but our committee decided to first look at the intersections (that serve as entrances/exits),” Gimber said. Access points include Nautilus Street next to Fire Station 13, and on Via Del SEE BIKE PATH, A8

FATIMA STATUE DRAWS PEOPLE, PRAYERS

he International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima was a guest of Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church on Girard Avenue, Monday, Feb. 22, when hundreds of parishoners, students and guests stopped in throughout the day to see and pray. Masses were offered at 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. with rosaries being said until the 8 p.m. closing. Sculpted in 1946, the statue travels to cities and parishes around the world. When the statue first visited the United States in 1947, a reported 200,000 people lined the streets. According to thefatimastatue.org: “Fatima is a city in Portugal where the Virgin Mary appeared in 1917 to three shepherd children. These apparitions continued on the 13th day for six consecutive months from May through October. … The apparitions of Fatima became very popular not only for their strong message of peace Mary, Star of the Sea church fills quickly, as parishioners and healing but also for arrive to see the Our Lady of Fatima statue, Monday. elements of prophecy.”

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Water leak forces evacuations at Hotel La Jolla

To report a non-emergency crime, call San Diego Police Department at (619) 531-2000 or (619) 531-2000.

Settlement reached in Melissa Ratcliff vehicular manslaughter A settlement has been reached in the October 2014 death of La Jolla resident and San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce executive Melissa Bonney Ratcliff. As previously reported in La Jolla Light, Ratcliff was struck and killed while standing outside her vehicle, which was parked on Girard Avenue. The driver, Mary O’Neil, who was 91 at the time of the accident, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. The

settlement amount was $775,000. O’Neil was also ordered to surrender her driver’s license. Ratcliff, 45, and the mother of three, was a communications professional who served in the White House as Deputy Communications Director for Vice President Al Gore and also served as spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee. She worked as the Director of Communications at The Broad Education Foundation in Los Angeles, and co-founded the nationally recognized LA Diaper Drive while living in Los Angeles. In San Diego, Ratcliff was the vicepresident for marketing and events of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, and was on the Board of the High Tech High Foundation.

A water leak forced several guests out of their rooms the early hours of Thursday, Feb. 18 at a La Jolla Hotel. At around 3:30 a.m. a pipe under a sink inside a storage room on the eighth floor burst, sending water flooding the area at the Hotel La Jolla at 7955 La Jolla Shores Drive. No rooms were flooded, but staff evacuated several dozen guests as a precaution. The guests were allowed back into their rooms at around 4:15 a.m. and repairs were underway.

Suspected statutory rapist arrested A former private gymnastics coach suspected with having sex with a 15-year-old student was arrested in Santee Feb. 9, San Diego police report. Patrick Wehrung, 25, worked for Champion Gymnastics and Cheer in Santee (but was fired the day of his arrest), and reportedly had picked the student up at her home and took her to La Jolla Shores several times, said Lt. Sandra Albreksten of the sex crimes unit. Wehrung was booked on four counts each of unlawful sexual intercourse and two other sex-related charges, with bail set at $50,000 according to an arrest record. He was later released on bail and had a Feb. 18 court date.

The student reported to San Diego police on Tuesday that she had been involved in an inappropriate sexual relationship with her gymnastics coach. Detectives learned that the two had been in a sexual relationship for several months. — The San Diego Union-Tribune

FROM CANDIDATES, A1 To be eligible to vote, one must be a LJCPA member (having attended one meeting and filled out a membership application). Membership status can be checked at lajollacpa.org In alphabetical order, here are the candidates’ statements (candidates Dan Courtney, Steve Haskins and Glen Rasmussen were not present): ■ LJCPA member Patrick Ahern, running for re-election: “This is where things happen in our community, this is how we can make a difference. You can write a letter to the editor or speak to other neighborhood groups, but we are directly (connected) to the City of San Diego. That’s a powerful thing. … I will bring (to this board) my experience with community groups, knowledge of real estate and an upbringing in La Jolla. I’ve been on 18 boards including La Jolla Town Council, La Jolla Parks & Beaches, Historical Review Committee, Gaslamp Quarter Association, the city’s task force on homelessness, and more; that helps me understand these organizations and be effective. I also have knowledge of real estate in La Jolla; I understand how things are built. I’ve been in commercial real estate for many years, so I help people buy and sell homes, and I understand how what we do here affects real estate. I was raised in La Jolla, but I’ve also traveled all over the world so I have context and knowledge about what’s so special about this place, I’ve seen changes and what has stayed the same.” ■ LJCPA secretary Helen Boyden,

running for re-election: “I was a member of La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee for five years, and I chaired it for four years. During my tenure, we were able to work with applicants and listen to concerns of neighbors to develop projects to meet the applicant’s needs but make it a better fit for the neighborhood. (At LJCPA) we face many challenges evaluating land use in La Jolla, such as: how can we keep what we have and add the new? I’ve been discouraged very frequently when the city interpretation of the La Jolla Community Plan, particularly the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance (blueprint for development), sometimes differs from the LJCPA. We need to keep working to improve the situation, and this is the group to do it in. I’ve been living in La Jolla Shores since 1969 and our children attended La Jolla schools. During that time, I was a volunteer in many programs, such as the president of the PTA at Muirlands Middle and La Jolla

High schools. We now live in (an area) called La Jolla Heights, but I think I’m the only trustee candidate that represents that area.”

revenue-generating cell-phone towers in public parks and next to schools and homes. I’ve made presentations to various city groups, such as this group and La Jolla Town Council, and San Diego City Council sub-committees and full City Council. I want to help La Jolla residents maintain their quality of life while faced with a lack of city planning transparency and interest in La Jolla residents.”

■ New candidate David Haney: “I’ve lived in La Jolla for 17 years. After receiving my doctorate in biochemistry from Northwestern University, I spent 35 years in research studying biochemistry, human disease and pharmaceuticals … my two sons graduated from La Jolla High School and now have doctorates and are both post-docs at UCSD. I have volunteered at La Jolla High School in science, including teaching AP chemistry when the teacher was out on extended leave. Until now I haven’t been involved in city issues, but I’ve become involved because of the City of San Diego’s lack of transparency, its misinformation and apparent disrespect sometimes for La Jolla homeowners. In particular, I find it appalling the city found loopholes and violated laws to install

■ New candidate Phil Merten: “I’ve been a resident of La Jolla for 47 years and been a general member of this association for more than 30 years. I’ve done tours of duty on La Jolla Development Permit Review committee, even chaired it for a few years, and I’ve chaired the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee, as well. I believe development must be sensitive to and compatible with existing neighborhood character and compatible with surround development. With that in mind, I played an

Permitters OK mixed-use project, new home build BY ASHLEY MACKIN Following preliminary presentations earlier this month, La Jolla’s Development Permit Review committee (DPR) lent its approval to two projects at its Feb. 16 meeting: a home build project on La Jolla Scenic Drive South and a mixed-use project on La Jolla Boulevard. DPR findings will be submitted to La Jolla’s Community Planning Association for ratification. Mixed-use Bird project Claude-Anthony Marengo, a principal at Marengo-Morton Architects, requested a Coastal Development Permit for the demolition of two commercial buildings and the construction of a two-story, 11,433 square foot mixed-use building with four residential units and two ground floor retail spaces at 5652-5656 La Jolla Blvd. The project would be built next to Beaumont’s Eatery and have a floor-area ratio of 1.24 where 1.3 is allowed. Presenting a photo montage of surrounding properties on that block to show how the proposed development fits (at the request of DPR member Angeles Leira) and a detailed landscaping plan, Marengo said he would plant Gold Medallion street trees and roof plantings, such as hydrangeas and bougainvillea, which would be visible from all

returning with requested information (including an aerial photograph of the site), Wood said were no new comments from city staff regarding the brush management plan, although they were updated to better manage brush in the environmentally sensitive area, by moving the landscaping farther away from the coastal sage scrub found in the canyon. Further addressing property plant life, Wood said there is existing mature landscaping that would remain, and the homeowner would add New Zealand Flax and three live oaks along the property line and driveway. A motion that findings could be made for the requested Site Development Permit passed.

Addressing the ADA-compliant hallway, which had previously been critiqued for its narrowness, Marengo said it would not be visible from the street and placed to be “purely functional” to get people to the elevator. However, Leira quipped, “Just because something is

purely functional, doesn’t mean it has to be ugly.” Agreeing, and saying that some decorative concepts could be integrated into the hallway, Marengo said it would be something to be finalized later in the process. A motion that findings can be made for the presented project passed.

FROM PROJECT, A6 would remain, with the addition of drought-tolerant plants on the property. While the applicants also showed a rendering of how the house will look from the street behind the existing tall shrubbery, the issue arose of how the development would look relative to surrounding houses. Miller noted the street is windy rather than linear, so producing a photo montage would be more challenging than it might be for other projects, but they would try to get one for a future meeting. Leira argued such information gives the committee better insight on how the property would fit with community character and relative height. DPR member Diane Kane added that the applicants would have “nailed it,” if they had such information. “We’re looking at how this project is going to change the neighborhood, if at all,” she said. “Overall, you did a lovely job. This is a quality project and there was a lot of thought put into it. I think it will be a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.” — DPR meets 4 p.m., second and third Tuesdays at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

Audrey’s color palette will reflect the shades of yellow, orange and blue depicted in the ‘Read, Write, Think, Dream’ installation by John Baldessari in the lobby of Geisel Library, which is part of the university’s renowned collection of public art, the Stuart Collection.

UCSD Library café will be named after benefactor Audrey Geisel The Geisel Library café, opening in May on the UC San Diego campus, will be named Audrey’s, after benefactor Audrey Geisel. Under construction since December, the café is on the second floor in the East Wing of Geisel Library, situated on the north end of the building’s most heavily used study area.

“I’m truly touched that so many of my friends at the UC San Diego Library have decided to name this new café after me,” said Geisel. “Even before we established the Dr. Seuss Collection here at the library many years ago, I felt this was a very special place, and certainly worthy of my continuing support. I know that Ted (Dr. Seuss) felt the same way, so I'm very pleased to know that our support will help to provide the resources and the services — not to mention caffeine — that today’s library patrons need to stay on the cutting edge.”

FROM BIKE PATH, A1 Norte, Mira Monte, La Cananda and Camino de la Costa. “At some of these intersections, there are homemade ramps that connect the bike path to the street. We’d like see those ramps removed and replaced with proper ramps … to make it safer. We also discussed painting the curbs red on either side of the entrances/exits to establish better visibility; and installing little raised bumps — not speed bumps — on the streets that feed into the Bike Path to ‘wake up’ drivers and alert them to pay attention,” he said. Added Miller, “When we did the walk, there was a car parked across an entrance (because the red curb was faded), which blocked the view of bikers and the traffic on the street. Most places are very open, but when you put a car in front, it blocks visibility. The whole point of all this is to improve safety for bicyclists and motorists. We would also, ultimately, like to see better signage.” Miller said she requested information from the city as to whether there have been accidents in the area, but had not heard back in time for the meeting. After their presentation, Gimber submitted the findings and requested the T&T board forward them to the appropriate city entity. However, board member Patrick Ryan cautioned that a city traffic engineer might assess the situation, see it through a different lens and propose a different solution. “There are really simple, uniform traffic control regulations,” Ryan said. “I might look at a problem and come up with a

solution, but a traffic engineer with knowledge of those regulations might see it differently and propose a different solution.” For example, an engineer would take speed limit and braking distance into consideration before determining an appropriate safety measure. Ryan added, “We can make a recommendation, but if that recommendation is not feasible within city code, the engineer will not be able to implement it and it won’t go anywhere.” Ann Dynes, who was in attendance to share her experience in working with the city on her Whale View Point Enhancement Project, said, “You might be able to get a constructive dialogue going with the right parties at the city … if you can figure out who the right party is. It never hurts to find out what can of worms you might be opening up, or just get a conversation going.” Should the committee determine it would rather submit its recommendations and ask the city to implement them as is, Ryan suggested they space out their requests rather than ask for all the fixes to be done at once. He noted they would be up against finding available city funding and getting the city to prioritize the project. “The easiest thing to start with is red paint, so you could come to us with the suggestion (that we ask the city to paint the curb red on either side of the entrance/exit) as an action item to vote on, and we could poll the residents to see if they would give up parking spaces and paint that section red,” he said. Down the line, the committee could request the T&T board approve textured ramps, or improved signage, or textured street bumps as individual items.

ASHLEY MACKIN

New La Jolla Traffic & Transportation member Erik Gantzel. Because the topic was docketed for discussion only, it was continued to a future meeting. The committee will return with a formal request at a future meeting.

In other T&T news: ■ New member seated: Erik Gantzel, representing the Bird Rock Community Council, was seated to replace outgoing member Michelle Fulks, who resigned late last year. “I’ve lived in La Jolla my whole life and I’m happy to be serving in whatever way I can,” Gantzel said. ■ Village parking limit surveys: T&T acting chair Tom Brady said the sub-committee tasked with reviewing the inconsistent parking times throughout the Village sent surveys to gather public input, using Fay Avenue between Silverado and Kline streets as a test group. The

sub-committee sent out 94 surveys and received about 30 responses. “We are going to meet and go over the results,” he said, adding the sub-committee will report back at a future meeting. The survey asks business owners on that block (which currently has a one-hour parking limit), if they would consider changing the time limit to 90 or 120 minutes and whether the change would be beneficial or detrimental to their businesses or if they are neutral on it. The committee will also determine whether the current sporadic changes in parking time limits — from 15 minutes to two hours throughout the Village — should remain as is, or something more uniform should be adopted. — T&T meets 4 p.m. third Wednesdays at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org or manana@san.rr.com

Brightest minds are focusing on cancer cure

lizabeth Blackburn has spent much of her career at the forefront, a pioneering researcher whose work has garnered virtually every major award in science: the Lasker, Gruber and Gairdner prizes, for example, and, of course, the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery of the molecular nature of telomeres — the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that preserve genetic information. Such distinctions tend to make one stand out and Liz, whom I have had the privilege to know and work with for many years, is indisputably singular, one of a kind. Indeed, when she joined the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences at the beginning of the year (moving from UC San Francisco), she became the Salk’s first female president. Liz would also be the first to acknowledge that true scientific progress is not a solitary pursuit. It takes a lab. It takes a university, a policy, a plan with sustainable funding, an industry, a collaboration of people and institutions all working toward a common goal and good. She reflects that in her enduring commitment to public service, from serving as president of the American Association of Cancer Research and the

American Society for Cell Biology to member of both the Stem Cell Research Advisory Panel to the California State Legislature and the President’s Council of Bioethics, a federal advisory group. Her voice was elemental at last month’s gathering of world leaders in Davos, Switzerland where Vice President Joe Biden convened a special session on fighting cancer. Biden has been tasked by President Obama to lead the so-called “cancer moonshot,” a national initiative to hasten a cancer cure. She was the leading advocate for emphasizing prevention. Prevention and treatment are inextricably connected. Put simply, they are required company, not unlike two hands in clapping. One hand is prevention, the other is treatment. There can be no real or sustained applause — or cancer impact — without both. Finding a cure for cancer — or more precisely, cures — will take time and the work of many. That’s why I am so delighted that Liz has come to the Salk, to San Diego and to the Mesa, home to three National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers: UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, Salk and the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical

Discovery Institute. A few years ago, Moores, Salk and SBP launched an unprecedented enterprise: the Cancer Center Council (C3) to combine and leverage our individual strengths, share our resources and expertise and essentially do more together than we might do apart. These efforts have included funding joint research projects. Liz brings new energy and authority. Although she has only been on the Salk campus a few weeks, she is already busy at work developing the Salk’s strategic vision, exploring further synergistic collaborations across the Mesa, such as C3. “One of Salk’s great strengths is its focus upon fundamental science discovery, which is critical to generating and driving translational research and clinical impact,” Blackburn told me. “My work on telomeres is an example of how very basic work can influence the way we think about impacts on human health and chronic diseases such as cancer, the magnitude of which we are only now beginning to recognize and understand. “Salk has an impressive legacy in this area, from the seminal work of former Salk cancer center director Tony Hunter, who discovered a new type of enzyme called tyrosine kinases that are altered in many cancers and have become the target of new cancer drugs, to new cancer center director Reuben Shaw’s investigations of cancer metabolic pathways and potential development of a diabetes drug (metformin) for oral cancer prevention with Moores colleagues Silvio Gutkind, Ezra Cohen, and Joseph Califano, as part of a larger proposed research program in head and neck cancer. Conquering cancer is the work of a

Elizabeth Blackburn lifetime; many lifetimes in fact. It will require our best efforts and brightest minds. The work of C3 and other similar endeavors represent the former; Liz is one of the latter. I look forward to our continuing collaboration and, in time, to being able to report great progress and ultimately, I hope, achievement of our goals. — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care appears in La Jolla Light the fourth Thursday of each month. You can reach Dr. Lippman at mcc-dir-lippman@ucsd.edu

A Legacy Builder: GDC Construction, Inc. BY MARTI GACIOCH Pancho Dewhurst, president of GDC Construction, Inc. has a builder’s legacy of four generations that inspires his already booming career. A seasoned builder in his own right, Pancho and his team at GDC have built residential and commercial properties throughout San Diego, La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe for nearly 20 years. With many new projects underway, GDC Construction’s team of skilled supervisors and craftsman provide the management necessary to track and keep a home building project on time and on budget, without losing sight of key building criteria, design aesthetics, and individual preferences that define a successful and quality home. “My heritage has been a strong influence on how I manage GDC Construction,” Pancho said. “I credit my success to the high standards that my father, George, my grandfather, Walter, and my great grandfather, Ernie, instilled in me. I take great pride in my family’s building legacy, my own passion for building and the quality of my work.” GDC Construction is defined by words like honor, commitment, and quality; honor to the decades of service they have provided to the community; commitment to the relationships they’ve built with clients and business associates; and quality exhibited in the homes they build. Recent GDC projects include: the renovation of a mid-century home in Point Loma, a French Colonial-style home in Rancho Santa Fe, a large contemporary craftsman home in La Jolla, and a Spanish Colonial-style home, which

Pancho Dewhurst

LARNY J. MACK

was designed by Brandy Dewhurst, Pancho’s wife, who is a professional architectural designer. “Unique to building today is that homeowners more often want to incorporate universal control systems, that with a touch, can control heating and air conditioning, lighting, irrigation, entertainment centers and security systems,”

Pancho explained. “At GDC Construction, we incorporate these Smart Home functions in both new and remodeling projects.” Pancho, 41, grew up in La Jolla where he attended La Jolla High School before studying communication design at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. He continued his education in architecture and design, in Florence, Italy, and completed his B.A. at the University of San Diego. With a deep dedication to the community, GDC Construction has contributed to La Jolla in the building of the La Jolla Community Center, La Jolla Fire Station, and during the holidays, when each year the company decorates the now 30-foot-tall tree at the Recreation Center that Pancho’s father and the Rotary Club planted decades ago. GDC Construction is a leader as a builder and contributor in the La Jolla community. Under the Pancho’s guidance GDC has grown in town, and they are also the new face in Rancho Santa Fe, Point Loma and Mission Hills. “As a general contractor, my objective is to build homes and relationships that stand the test of time,” Pancho said. “I take pride in my team, our accomplishments, and the positive mark we have made in the San Diego community.” ■ GDC Construction, Inc. is located at 1031 Silverado St., La Jolla.

Lessons from Justice Scalia’s sudden death

BY STEVEN HIGGINS, M.D. here is much that we can learn from the sudden death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. That’s true despite the mystery still surrounding his passing on Feb. 13 while visiting a remote West Texas hunting resort. A county judge who was not at the scene declared Scalia dead based on information she received from officials at the resort. The family and coroner chose to not do an autopsy on Justice Scalia as he had pre-existing “chronic conditions.” A physician was willing to sign the death certificate as a “heart attack” from “natural causes,” which just means the Justice Scalia’s passing wasn’t due to murder or trauma. As director of cardiac electrophysiology and chair of cardiology at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, I see patients like this every day and offer treatments that can extend their lives. There are very important lessons to learn from this tragic event. While I have no inside information about this case, I can make an educated guess. I think there’s a good chance the heart attack conclusion is wrong. Reports suggest that Justice Scalia had pre-existing heart disease, went to bed without any complaints of chest pain and died suddenly. Statistically, only about 1 in 3 sudden deaths are due to a heart attack, what doctors call a myocardial infarction (MI) typically associated with chest pressure or pain. An MI is caused by a clot or plaque suddenly occluding a major vessel supplying the heart. While Justice Scalia could have had a heart attack causing his sudden death, no information has been made public to confirm that diagnosis. Most sudden deaths are due to a cardiac rhythm problem. In a majority of those cases, sudden death occurs in patients with prior heart muscle disease most often related to a heart attack from years before. These people die from a life-threatening arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, coming from the area of scarred

heart muscle. In the other sudden death cases involving cardiac rhythm problems, patients have rarer heart muscle or electrical issues, such as severe thickening of the heart known as “hypertrophy” or weakness called a “cardiomyopathy.” In the past 20 years, medical studies have helped to identify those who have the highest risk of sudden cardiac death, allowing preventative therapy such as an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) that can be placed in a patient before the rhythm problem happens. At Scripps, we were fortunate to have been involved in pioneering studies that validated the use of ICDs in these high-risk patients. This type of weakened heart muscle can be uncovered with a simple ultrasound test called an echocardiogram. If the heart muscle is weakened (doctors call it a “reduced ejection fraction”) to a level of 35 percent or less (normal is 60), the patient may be at risk for sudden death that can be prevented. One study I helped lead, called MADIT (for Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial) found that patients with a prior heart attack and reduced heart muscle function had a 54 percent greater chance of living with an ICD if they received the device prior to any additional

warning symptoms. It was sadly ironic to see former Vice President Dick Cheney discussing the death of his good friend Justice Scalia. Since his first heart attack at the young age of 37, Cheney has benefitted tremendously from modern cardiac care. He has received stents, bypass surgery, an implanted defibrillator, a biventricular defibrillator, an artificial heart (called an LVAD) and finally, in 2012, a new heart by transplant. He continues to be active at age 75, as witnessed by his admission that he hunted with Justice Scalia just a few weeks prior to his death. While the mystery surrounding Justice Scalia’s death is tantalizing for some, his passing offers some important reminders for all of us. Heart disease is preventable. Treatment options depend on risk factors, some of which can be minimized, like controlling blood pressure and cholesterol, never smoking and controlling your weight to avoid diabetes. Other risk factors are beyond our control, such as advanced age, family history and gender (heart disease is more common in men than women but it is the No. 1 killer of both sexes). If you have risk factors, screening studies such as an echocardiogram may help to determine your risk for heart disease and sudden death. Warning signs include fainting spells, severe dizziness and sustained rapid heart rates. See a doctor promptly. Out of every tragedy comes some good. It is my hope that the publicity over Justice Scalia’s death will bring increased attention to the prevention of heart rhythm problems. Treatments are available today, and lives can be saved. —Steven L. Higgins, M.D., of La Jolla is chairman of cardiology and director of cardiac electrophysiology at Prebys Cardiovascular Institute, Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla.

OUR READERS WRITE

Expand the proposed MAD boundaries I write concerning the Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) proposed for the Village of La Jolla. A MAD is a great idea, but it should affect more of La Jolla, since there will be little chance to pick up the fringes if the proposed limited scope prevails. Look at Bird Rock; do you recall what a desert it was only a few years ago? Now there we have thriving businesses, foot traffic and slower vehicle

speeds. If the proposed MAD ignores the WindanSea business area (Palomar Avenue to Westbourne Street) and also the Marine Street business area, these two areas will become even more isolated and deserted because of the heavy traffic. There are huge neighborhoods surrounding these business areas. I would imagine, upon thoughtful reflection, that these residents would agree to $100 per year added to their property taxes to beautify, control traffic speeds, improve parking and, very importantly like Bird Rock, assure that the heavy

commute traffic does not cut across their neighborhoods. Having had a business on La Jolla Boulevard, I experienced the dust, dirt and danger of huge traffic flow that, despite some detractors, is much relieved now in Bird Rock. Similar measures should be implemented all along La Jolla Boulevard and Pearl Street. — Glen McFadden Rasmussen

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED FROM A22) Historical La Jolla church deserves our applause On a dead end at Cuvier and Pearl Street in La Jolla, there is a plaque commemorating the site where St. John’s COGIC once existed. Somehow this plaque is to serve as a remembrance of the lives that were touched by St. John’s COGIC. Unfortunately for me, a preacher of the Gospel and Pastor of Prince Chapel by the Sea AME Church in La Jolla, the plaque is a haunting image of our struggles as African American clergy, our families and congregations. The plaque is a constant reminder of how African Americans have not been good stewards of our history. It is time that we begin to honor and learn the significant lessons the past has tried to teach us. Searching the historical archives of La Jolla, I was able to find only two pieces of information about this church that was a refuge for those who wanted a place to worship, but were not at ease at other places of worship in La Jolla. The historical archives show an entry in May 18, 1950 issue of the La Jolla Journal celebrating the church’s sixth anniversary with a seven-night musical festival. At that time, the church was led by Rev. N. A. Noel. The other artifact was from a May 14, 1987 issue of the La Jolla Light where member Ruth Dixon shared a dream for renovating St. John’s COGIC. The pastor at the time was Elder Wesley H. Allen.

Upon Elder Allen’s approval, plans began to raise funds for the renovation. Unfortunately, St. John’s COGIC eventually closed its doors. In my conversations with Prince Chapel AME and La Jolla Black Historian, Lorenza Pace, she told me of how the two churches partnered together in meeting the needs of young people. Judge Stone (he was not a “judge,” that was his first name) encouraged early members that they could begin a church. The archives mention nothing about the wonderful music program and how members of Prince Chapel AME would come regularly to hear the tremendous music that filled the sanctuary of St. John’s COGIC. Nor does the archive speak of the support by members like Ernestine Jones and her sister who were wonderful singers, or Mr. Shannon who owned a shoe shop at Pearl Street and Eads Avenue. The archives have an eerie silence when it comes to the history and actual contributions of St. John’s COGIC. The silence was dispelled Jan. 29 in the sanctuary of Prince Chapel by the Sea AME Church, when the legacy of those who labored at St. John’s COGIC to help others was recognized. God has blessed us to have two of the Pastors still with us on this side of Zion, so Elders Vernon Cooper Jr. and Wesley H. Allen were enshrined as 2016 Pillar of Light recipients. Additionally, historical information will be added to the La Jolla archives. — Pastor Rev. Charles Norris

SeaWorld rescues young whale off La Jolla coast 25-foot humpback was ensnared by fishing line

FLAT SHANNON MEETS TED CRUZ

COURTESY

A team from SeaWorld San Diego freed a 25-foot, year-old humpback whale that had become entangled in fishing line about three miles off the coast of La Jolla on Sunday, Feb. 21. SeaWorld said its animal rescue team was alerted by California Department of Fish & Wildlife officials at 1 p.m. and was on scene by 3:15 p.m. in an inflatable motorboat.

They found the whale “hog-tied” with fishing line running through its mouth, pinning down its left pectoral flipper, and entangled around its tail fluke area. Over a two-hour period, the team cut away line from the animal’s mouth to its tail, finally allowing it to swim freely. The whale headed north in the direction of the normal migration pattern for humpback whales this time of year. SeaWorld came to the aid of six entangled whales last year. This year thus far, the park has rescued more than 130 ill, injured or stranded sea lions and seals on the beaches of San Diego County.

FROM NEWS NUGGETS, A7 own “quality positioned hotels in upscale markets along the West Coast.” He also said, “La Jolla is one of California’s jewels and we will make sure the Hotel La Jolla continues to reflect its unparalleled charm.” A spokesperson for Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants said the chain will cease management of the property in two weeks. A new management firm has not been announced. The previous owner spent about $6 million to complete room upgrades, overhaul the Cusp restaurant, and add a lobby, new entryway and outdoor lounge and bar. The 23-room La Jolla Inn property, built in 1947 at 1110 Prospect St., sold for $7.1 million to locally based Oceanic Properties. The seller was Anthony Torbali, who said on the hotel website that he had completed a $1 million upgrade. Charles A. Dunn sold it to Torbali in 1995. The buyers could not be reached to discuss future plans.

Firefighters to collect funds for Burn Institute Local firefighters will take to the streets for the 17th annual “Fill the Boot for the Burn Institute” fundraiser, Wednesday, March 2. They will be stationed at more than 100 intersections around the county holding empty boots to collect donations during the morning and evening commutes. Each year, passing motorists help to fill those boots with their spare change — ones, fives, twenties – even $100 bills. The funds are used for the Burn Institute’s fire and burn prevention education and burn survivor support services. The countywide Boot Drive is a hallmark fundraiser for the organization, raising nearly $250,000 for Burn Institute programs and services in 2015, including the Camp Beyond the Scars for burn-injured children.

Youth baseball celebrates 64th Opening Day Saturday BY GEOFF LONGENECKER Multiple generations of families will come together for La Jolla Youth Baseball’s Opening Day festivities, Saturday, Feb. 27 at Cliffridge Park, 8311 Cliffridge Ave. 34 teams are scheduled to play, with team photos taken in the morning. Once again, LJYB would like to say thank you to the San Diego Padres for providing the league with new uniforms that represent the different decades of Padres baseball. This year, in five age divisions, some 400 kids (ages 5-14), are signed to participate. At noon, everyone will assemble on the Bronco Field for a brief ceremony. As league president, Geoff Longenecker will provide the welcoming remarks and will then recognize six Pony players for their “Decade on the Diamond” – Devin Brown, Noah Brown, Matthew Hammel, Calvin Hyytenin, John Meyerott and Austin Schroeder. This is a fantastic accomplishment and proof that these boys honor the game of baseball. The Navy Band Southwest will perform a selection of music, along with The National Anthem. A few surprises include: who throws out the ceremonial First Pitch, the “Play Ball Kid,” and will there be a fly-over again this year? Off the field, Game Truck will be on

site, along with Puesto, serving street tacos and other Mexican specialties. Kona Ice will also have a truck on the grounds. (Don’t forget to visit Bijan in the snack bar. He has been a part of the LJYB community for almost 20 years and has watched the players grow up from Shetland through Pony.) “Kids Gear for Baseball,” a non-profit group organized by local high school students, will have bins near the snack bar to collect used baseball gear to be distributed to needy kids throughout the county (bats, gloves, cleats, catcher’s equipment, etc.) LJYB is traditional when it comes to sponsors, and each team takes its name for a corresponding sponsor. Several parents sponsor teams in the name of a charitable organization they support. Following is a list of teams and their managers: • PONY: Morgan Stanley (Bob Meyerott), Natural High (Dan Scott) and Seaside Fence (Dave Hammel). • BRONCO: Dermtech (Rick Boynton), Chris Smith Personal Training (Ben Grieve), Syntergy (Tyler Lawton), The Patio (Michael Solis), Mitch’s Surf Shop (Brad Kates), Science of Baseball (Troy Latimer) and Sector 9 (Dave Klimkiewicz). • MUSTANG: Baxter Foundation (Mike Gibbs), Seamgen (Jim Sampson),

The Colorado arrest of a former surgical technician trainee who briefly worked at Scripps Green Hospital in 2013 has prompted the facility to offer free hepatitis and HIV testing to more than 500 patients. Scripps said Monday, Feb. 22 that it is contacting patients who underwent surgical procedures during shifts worked by Rocky Allen, 28, during a 20-day period from May 9 to June 7 in 2013, to offer them the testing. According to accounts of a recent hearing in Colorado, Allen carries an unnamed blood-borne pathogen, giving rise to concerns that he may have inadvertently passed an infection to a patient when exchanging syringes. Federal agents arrested Allen on Feb. 16 on charges of tampering with a consumer product and obtaining a controlled substance by deceit, after he was allegedly caught diverting drugs from Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, a Denver suburb. On Friday, Feb. 19 federal investigators detailed Allen's employment history in court, noting that, when he worked at Green, a hospital worker saw him try "to switch a syringe of fentanyl citrate (a pain medication) with a syringe of saline." Scripps officials said Monday that it was a nurse who spotted Allen's attempted sleight of hand, and he was immediately pulled from duty and eventually fired. Every hospital where Allen worked is now offering free testing for blood-borne infections — hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV — to anyone who underwent surgery while he was present. —The San Diego Union Tribune

SNyempahs The

Daughter curating exhibit about mom’s historic diving club BY LINDA HUTCHISON n Greek mythology, sea nymphs are the daughters of sea gods. Only a few, the Sirens, were harmful, luring sailors with their sweet singing onto the rocks. In San Diego and La Jolla, the Sea Nymphs were of the helpful variety — a group of five pioneering and athletic young women who dove and fished off our rocky coast during the 1940s and ’50s. Many were the wives or girlfriends of the legendary Bottom Scratchers, one of the world’s first organized dive clubs. (The word “nymph” originated from the Greek numphe and Latin nympha, meaning bride.) The Bottom Scratchers, who dove and spearfished in La Jolla from 1933 to 2005, have been well documented, including a 1949 feature article in National Geographic, “Goggle Fishing in California Waters.” Their companion club, the Sea Nymphs, is not as well known and one La Jolla woman has decided to change that. The daughter of Bottom Scratcher Wally Potts and Sea Nymph Vi Potts, Lyndee Logan has been assembling photos and artifacts in hopes of exhibiting her parents’ legacy — and especially that of her mother. Her father died in 2002 and her mother in 2011.

Love and friendship

Vi Potts, one of five members of San Diego Sea Nymphs women’s diving club

What brought you to La Jolla? I’ve always loved La Jolla and was thrilled to hear that Just in Time for Foster Youth was holding its annual gala here this year. This area offers a beautiful landscape and much culture. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? The beauty of La Jolla attracts so many visitors, which in turn causes a great deal of traffic, and limited parking. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I would have to invite Benjamin Franklin for a discussion about the 13 virtues; Charles Goodyear to discuss his struggle to innovate the recipe for rubber, which was the catalyst for the industrial revolution; Nicolas Tesla to hear about the trials and tribulations of an innovator; Winston Churchill for staying strong in the face of adversity; my grandfather to talk about how to spend time and focus on SEE 10 QUESTIONS, B23

Logan’s mother Vi and father Wally met through Vi’s cousin in Point Loma. On their first date, Wally, who joined the Bottom Scratchers in 1939, took her to La Jolla and introduced her to spear fishing. Trusting Wally, she soon fell in love with both him and the ocean, commenting that the “sea bass looked like a submarine.” At this time, marine life was still plentiful and to Wally Pots and his fellow divers, the activity was not competitive; they literally were diving for their dinner. In the early days, they dove without fins, wetsuits, proper masks or spear guns, but soon were inventing improvements. According to daughter Logan, Potts was “a seat-of-the-pants engineer,” who worked at Solar for 40 years and was constantly tinkering in their garage. He and his friend and fellow Bottom Scratcher Jack Prodanovich are credited with improving the mask and the spear gun. The Sea Nymphs, who formed sometime in the early 1940s, often accompanied their husbands or boyfriends, but dove separately, too. They included Vi, Gertrude Prodanovich (wife of Jack Prodanovich), Twila and Billee Colville, two sisters who were former water ballet performers, and Pat Gallagher, a younger woman who joined later.

FROM SEA NYMPHS, B1 they had to be able to dive a minimum of 25 feet without fins and bring up two abalone — one in each hand. They also had to catch a horn shark with their bare hands. (The men had to dive 30 feet.) Although Logan’s parents lived in Point Loma, they most often dove and socialized with other club members in La Jolla, including Bird Rock, WindanSea, Casa Beach and the Cove.

Conservation calls

According to Logan, they were a varied group, working men and women intertwined with research scientists at Scripps. “But they were a tight-knit group and shared a love of the ocean,” she said. As time went on, the divers became more interested in conservation and were instrumental in forming the Underwater Park in 1970. They were not into competitive diving (today free diving is considered a competitive sport) or making money. They did not patent their inventions. Logan’s artifacts include her mother’s custom-made Churchill swim fins, (the fins were invented in 1936 by Owen Churchill). She also has a red Sea Nymph jacket. Although fashioned in 1940’s style, it includes hand-warming pockets in front and did include a hood (now missing), not unlike today’s hoodies. The back of the jacket is illustrated with a woman diving in a two-piece, bikini-like bathing suit. “It was considered risqué at the time,” said Logan.

The five women also appeared in demonstrations at the Hotel Del Mar, now L’Auberge Del Mar. During one dive, said Logan, her mother held her breath so long (more than three minutes), both the announcer and her father were alarmed. The dives also included spear fishing a dummy halibut with a five-prong spear on the bottom of the pool and a balloon (to represent a sea bass or yellowtail) with a

spear gun, which took three attempts to show the audience how difficult it is to spear a fish. Logan’s photographs include many of the women and men divers taken by La Jollan Lamar Boren. What started as a side interest for Boren grew into a 40-year profession as an underwater cinematographer. He shot the TV show “Sea Hunt,” using Bottom Scratchers as models and fill-ins and then worked on Disney and James Bond movies.

Logan is not a diver herself, instead prefers distance swimming and skiing. “I learned to swim before I could walk.” But she inherited her parent’s passion for enjoying and protecting the ocean. “My parents taught me not to be afraid of the ocean, to love it, but also respect it,” she explains. Now she would like to pass on that love and legacy. ■ You can reach Lyndee Logan at lyndeelogan@yahoo.com

UCSD unveils new ‘Speculative Design’ major Panelists explore promise of the field that takes thinkers way outside the box BY WILL BOWEN As keynote speaker at the Feb. 10 symposium for the new Speculative Design major in the Visual Art Department at UC San Diego, world-renowned designer Fiona Raby challenged the crowd, “Is reality holding you back? Does convention, the normative, the status quo, the enchantment of the way things are supposed to be, restrict or limit your imagination? “(Consider)” she continued, “Speculative Design is a manifestation of the thinking possibility you could have for yourself, your dreams, your creations, your products, or your services. Speculative Design offers a pathway to help us look at reality with new eyes.” In addition to her design firm, Dunne & Raby, Raby is also a professor of Industrial Design at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, co-author of three books

on design, and an artist whose work has shown at MoMA in New York City and the Pompidou Centre in Paris. The symposium, held in the Structural Materials & Engineering building, was chaired by Visual Art Professor Benjamin Bratton, who headed-up the arts committee struggling to establish the new major for the past three years. Bratton kicked off the morning’s session with a lecture on the history of the growing field of Speculative Design. He explained that Speculative Design is an often whimsical or

ironic take on the design of objects and systems. Speculative Design has no practical function, other than to get one to think more deeply about the conventions that govern the design of objects, spaces and systems. “Speculative Design, although impractical, gives us a new way of thinking and new perceptions,” Bratton said. “It helps us to re-imagine and re-engineer the physical world. In order to face the critical challenges of our modern age, today’s designers must be able to do more than solve known problems; they must be

The afternoon session began with a presentation by Visual Arts Professor Sheldon Brown, who is also director of the Arthur C. Clarke Center for the Imagination. Brown said their projects have much in common with Speculative Design because the Clarke Center’s aim is to help people develop their imaginations so mankind will be better able to deal with the immense challenges it faces. One way they do that is to imagine a

future, go there in a virtual sense, and then send postcards back, so that students get postcards from the future! Brown described another project at the Clarke Center that involves teaching robots how to make eye contact with the humans they interact with because no one wants to deal with a robot that won’t look them in the eye! Following Brown, Visual Art Professor Teddy Cruz addressed symposium guests. Cruz specializes in art and architecture, and is known for building innovative houses and communities in Mexico. He said he wanted to “bring the political to the discussion.” “The trajectory of our department has always been to expand categories, as well as the entire field of the visual arts,” Cruz said. “We seek to install an urgent imagination in our students so that they can be better equipped to deal with world problems, such as pollution, over population and prejudice.” After his talk, Cruz hosted a panel discussion that included electronic disturbance performance artist Ricardo Dominguez, professor Brett Stalbaum, Ph.D. student Sacha Pohflepp, artist Lisa Cartwright, and art historian Alena Williams. Dominguez suggested the world needs “a futurity from the roots,” and designs for the future must consider the needs of “the marginalized, the downtrodden, the disenfranchised, and the undocumented.”

Local fantasy authors launch fifth book, prepare for Comic-Con BY ASHLEY MACKIN The storytelling band of brothers behind the Curseborn Saga has had a remarkable year — and they show no signs of slowing down. They will release the fifth and final book in their first series “The Curseborn Saga: Soldier Games” next month. After that, they will jump right into writing the saga’s next series. And that is only the beginning. (Did someone say Comic-Con?) The four creators behind the work include brothers Trevor Barber (pen name Elnath Shanks), Justin Barber (pen name Trowa Cloud), both La Jolla natives; and friends Peter Kolias (pen name Squall Ace) and Simon Sandoval (pen name Gatsu). Their elaborate tale is told through story arcs, similar to how the Harry Potter story is broken up into seven story arcs told through seven books. The Curseborn Saga explores the myth of Eiendrahk, the never-ending war between the Goddess of Life and the God of Death, in a world of fantasy. “There are huge plans for the Curseborn Saga in the future. The Saga is by no means ending with these books,” Ace said.

A successful year

One year to the day before the release of the final Soldier Games book, the first one was released. Every three months after that (in June, September and December), another book in the series was made available to the masses. At the same time, the crew was developing their graphic novels and participating in conventions. “We went to our first major Con (short for

The four creators behind the Saga include Trevor Barber (Elnath Shanks), Justin Barber (Trowa Cloud), Simon Sandoval (Gatsu) and Peter Kolias (Squall Ace). convention) — Anime Expo up in Los Angeles — where we had the smallest booth in the back on the left with all of our stuff and that was really cool,” said Shanks. “One man came to our booth with his son and didn’t say a word, just let his son ask us questions, and by the end of our talk, he wanted one of everything we had. He said ‘This is where you find the next big thing.’” Before Anime Expo was done, the creators had sold out of everything they brought with them. Through conventions, social media and word-of-mouth, the Saga and its creators

established a following, which calls themselves The Deathless. For each member, the term Deathless means something different. For Gatsu, it means failing over and over again, and still getting up to try again. “We have mutual respect and support for each other and strive to accomplish something and we don’t let anything hold us back. Some of us have a full-time job and a family to support, but we are also putting time into this project, and we never quit,” he said. “Even when it seemed impossible, we kept going. None of us are afraid to fail; we

are all willing to keep pushing. We’ve all hit rock bottom and kept going.” To reward the loyal, the crew is also developing graphic novels, and plans to release them exclusively at conventions, and then take them off the market until a later date. To give back to readers at large, the crew also donated 100 books to the San Diego Council on Literacy this year. “We talked about the content the council had and what they needed, and they had plenty of content for younger kids (ages 5-11), but not that much for teens. Our characters are teenagers, so we decided to donate some books,” Shanks said.

Art from a Curseborn Saga novella crew is developing the second series, called “The Grahf Arc,” but they don’t yet know how many books will make up the series or when they will be released. In “The Grahf Arc,” there is a great evil that is contained, but gets released. Shanks explained, “It brings to life the question of ‘what is evil?’ Grahf truly believes in something and is willing to fight for it, but the majority of people around him don’t believe the same thing, so he becomes the villain. He just happens to be extremely powerful and deemed extremely dangerous.”

Comic-Con bound

The Curseborn Saga creators will have a booth at July’s Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center, despite the typical waiting list that can span years. The mere mention of which generated palpable excitement. “We’ve done street fairs and things that are not in our realm and we can talk to people there … but when you are at Comic-Con, we are there with people like us, with people that like what we like. At street fairs and things, you never know who likes what, but at Comic-Con, you know they like similar things to what you like,” Shanks said. Gatsu added, “The thing I’m looking forward to most is the same thing I look forward to every time I go to an event or signing. There is great vindication when you are interfacing with hundreds of people and those hundreds of people are buying what you’re selling. At Comic-Con, there is a huge group of people, who are into the same things we are, in one place and we get to talk to those people. I want to tell them about our story, tell them why I’m excited for it

and why they should be excited for it.”

Local events

Because brothers Shanks and Cloud grew up in La Jolla, they said they wanted to have local events, in addition to exhibiting at a Con that attracts thousands. On Saturday, Feb. 27 at 11 a.m., they will have a speaking engagement for aspiring writers at La Jolla’s Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. “Anyone interested in writing fiction or science fiction, fantasy, romance, etc. or is in the process or aspires to try it is welcome,” Cloud said. “We will explain our process, what we think is important and how we built our way up. The whole aim is to try and help other people that want to do what we do.” Following the Library event, the foursome will have their celebratory book launch for the final “Soldier Games” book, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 5 at Warwick’s, 7812 Girard Ave. Local artists Digital Lizards of Doom and Embi M’Baye are scheduled to perform, and new posters and artwork will be revealed. “A friend of ours, and an amazing artist, named Jon C. Poole paints all the book covers and he has been painting the book covers since the first novella,” Cloud said, adding that for the event, Poole will be in attendance from Paris to unveil large posters of the covers. Said Ace, “He reads the books and finds his favorite scenes and sends us different renderings, anywhere from 20-60 different concept sketches, and we had such a hard time deciding on the ones we liked.” ■ Want to know more?

Let’s talk about something retirement communities hardly ever mention. Accreditation. Because having the conﬁdence and peace of mind of accreditation is important. So, let’s talk. La Vida Del Mar is accredited by CARF International. It’s an independent organization that sets exceedingly high standards for care and service. It’s a lot like an accreditation for a hospital or college. Or a ﬁve-star rating for a hotel. But like most things in life, you have to see it to believe it. So, let’s talk some more at a complimentary lunch and tour. Please call 858.217.5255 to schedule.

n event celebrating “The Art of the Heart” took place Feb. 13 at the La Jolla Library, showcasing the paintings of three La Jolla artists — Patricia Jasper Clark, Lisa Hill and Sally Irwin. Linda Daniels of The Daniels Group at Willis Allen Real Estate, hosted the afternoon with 25 percent of the proceeds from art sales going to the American Heart Association (AHA), in honor of February as “Heart” month. At the event, Scripps cardiologist Michael Wright, M.D. spoke about current treatments and procedures for heart health, and offered advice on diet and exercise for cardio vascular well-being. More that 300 guests viewed the colorful art and sipped Champagne in a toast to Valentine’s Day. Daniels explained that 13 years ago, she suffered a heart attack and since that time, she has done something annually to support the AHA and promote awareness of the fact that heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined. The “Art of the Heart” event was a success with 16 paintings sold to the collectors in attendance. The paintings will hang in the Library community gallery room until March 1.

ver wonder if it was “Easy Street” for Annie after Daddy Warbucks came along? Find out what happened to the red-headed orphan after Miss Hannigan and her evil plans were foiled, when J* Company presents “Annie Warbucks,” the sequel to the musical “Annie,” Feb. 26-March 13 at the Jewish Community Center’s Garfield Theatre, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla. Under the direction of Joey Landwehr, the cast of 58 features 12-year-old Natalie Feldstein as Annie and 14 year-old Mikel Lemoine as Daddy Warbucks, with Natalie Feldstein, Collin Katz, Mikel Lemoine, Mia Bregman, Eliana Nahl, Adria Rosen and Talia Israel, rounding out the leads. The sequel, created by TONY Award-winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, prolongs the fairytale ending, providing all the drama of the previous story with new villains, secret scheming and an old-fashioned romance thrown in for good measure. “There’s an important lesson that can be learned from Annie,” Landwehr said. “She has always been a strong role-model whose positive outlook and cheery disposition despite her circumstances empowers her. No matter what problems she’s confronted with, she overcomes them.” ■ Tickets are $16 for children and JCC members, and $18 for non-members at (858) 362-1348 or jcompanysd.org

Let’s Review BY DIANA SAENGER

Life plays out on the courts in‘The Last Match’

he bright blue set design, conjuring a U.S. tennis competition by Tim Mackabee on the Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre stage, is a welcome invitation to a fun evening. Sound designer Bray Poor, too, has excelled in having the thud of a racket hitting a ball timed exactly with the motions of the players who do not have real balls or rackets. Playwright Anna Ziegler places Russian player Sergei Sergeyev (Alex Mickiewicz) against American superstar Tim Porter (Patrick J. Adams) in a drama that has the two throwing everything they have into each round of sets. They huff and puff, win a round, lose a round and spout off at each other throughout. Sergei appears to be

jealous of Tim’s fame and following. Yet he still believes he’s the better player and is determined to win this U.S. Open — a good bet, due to Tim’s age and health. Had the game been the only thing on the player’s minds, it might have gone more smoothly. But each has a woman, who also wants to offer advice and take care of her man. Galina (Natalia Payne) is Sergei’s girlfriend. She yells at him from the stands whether he messes up or does something right. In between games, it’s another round of “can he be better?” Tim’s wife Mallory (Troian Bellisario) – Adams’ fiancée in real life – also watches from the stands. She’s not as vocal as Natalia, as she also comforts her player over his errors and praises his successes.

Both men have a lot on their minds. Tim is aging and the game is getting physically difficult for him. A few times after a tournament, he falls to his knees with severe back pain. Mallory helps him drink some concoction and finds the right spot to massage. She is also having problems. Tim announces at the beginning of the play that his son will soon be watching him from the stands, but when Mallory loses the baby, it’s a big hit to both of them. Bellisario is solid in her portrayal of Mallory’s depression, which is a little somber for playgoers, but she turns her attitude around swiftly. Sergei offers his condolences, but the game must go on. He talks about his childhood, the loss of his parents, and rants about

Payne is hilarious when she appears on one set of stairs in the theater or another, begins to shake her body and screech encouraging words to him.

It takes a while for Sergei to realize she’s not only the one there for him, but she’s also a rare gem. Will he reciprocate her devotion? Here’s where Ziegler makes her point, seeing the game of tennis as a metaphor for life. As she states in the program, “Tennis might get

you through the day, but like any vocation, cannot take the place of the truly important things in life.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Last Match,” runs through March 13 at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park. Tickets from $29. (619) 234-5623. theoldglobe.org

Shamebook: The High Stakes of Social Comparison Loneliness, dissatisfaction with your job, physique, ﬁnances, overwhelming feelings of inferiority—these are the hallmarks of sabotaging self-doubt, as I discussed in a previous column. These aren’t unique to modern society, as literature abounds with examples of jealousy and low self-esteem (see Jane Austen for any number of examples). However, modern technology and the prevalence of social networking on sites such as Facebook and Tumblr have become,

in a way, temples le to the he cult ul of social ial comparison. The consequences of such a comparison can lead to harmful self-doubt, depression, bullying, with sometimes serious outcomes. Full disclosure: I’m not a fan of Facebook or similar types of social networking, but I do acknowledge that there are advantages to social networking. Sometimes, there is a greater sense of community integration when, for example, someone is starting college, a new school or job and can reach out to meet new acquaintances and friends. Group coordinating can be made easier through the use of social networking sites, giving people access to new opportunities. Social networking is the new normal for current generations, and most of us will have to accept that. But perhaps even social networking will become blasé in a generation looking for the next exciting technological hook—something ﬂashy and instantaneous. Or maybe we will have

in where wh ci ha shared sh ed come to a point society has everything there is to share and people will no longer care—inundation of oversharing leads to saturation, to a point where nothing seems of consequence, nothing is “special” or unique. Self-affirmation, impression management, and self-presentation We are a species that classifies. We classify based on species, based on race and gender, we classify our socioeconomics, we classify our music, our literature, and often our classifications can have sub-classifications. We hold to this as a way of absolute identification. We self-identify by profession or occupation, as psychologist, or firefighter, as teacher, as student, as parent. But also, people want to identify as a type of person: reliable, kind, generous. And we want control over this self-image; it’s called self-affirmation. But we can also be flexible in how we define ourselves, and this is

thin that th hel ad he something helps us adapt to the world around us. People often, then, structure their online identities to present the best possible versions of themselves, according to their online community. Some people show photos of elaborate cooking, some display all the symbols of healthful lifestyle choices, others post pictures of idealized family life. Even people who post about their failures, miseries, and latest victimizations are also trying to appeal to their community of peers, like-minded and feeling acquaintances who value disadvantages. Social network posts are designed to portray a particular version of the self with the motive of currying favor with a group.

Berry Good Food Foundation branches out

ast month, a group of food activists, goat farmers and breeders, organic chefs and purveyors (along with members of the media), gathered at the jaw-dropping La Jolla estate of Michelle Lerach, founder of the Berry Good Food Foundation, where we scarfed down organic, sustainable fare, and boned up on current and future programs and activities of the flourishing non-profit organization. The board members and advisory board that reads like a Who’s Who of the sustainable food community includes, Catt Fields White, who consults, develops and manages farmers markets in San Diego County; Deborah Szekely, Rancho La Puerta founder and organic food and healthy lifestyle pioneer; Riley Davenport, owner, Edible San Diego; Stone Brewery craft beer king, Greg Koch; Sandra Broussard, Director of Sales Operations from Be Wise Ranch; and Claudia Ehrlich, Senior Director of External Relations at the Salk Institute. These sustainable kindred spirits are planting the seeds to grow a “healthy, integrated food system by educating, connecting and supporting food producers and consumers. The foundation envisions a region where all people can choose local, sustainably

produced food.” First on the board’s agenda is a series of Future Thought Leader Forums in the format of panel discussions covering a range of sustainable food-related topics. These span from the importance of soil as a climate change mitigator (Feb. 2), to human and environmental health issues regarding meat production (May 17), the problems of food waste (Aug. 23), and the new world of seafood (Nov. 11). These are all free and open to the public. In addition, the BGFF developed an educational branch called the Berry Good Food Academy spearheaded by Jack Ford of TAJ farms, providing traditional hands-on home economic classes, including cheese-making, canning and preserving, while emphasizing the ethos of minimizing food waste. Free classes are offered to farmers and members of the food community, along with scholarship and volunteer opportunities for other sustainable students. Finally, the organization is in the midst of launching a School Pilot Program based on the educational model of Olivewood Gardens and Learning Center in National City, a sprawling farm donated to the International Community Foundation by

John Walton, son of Sam “Wal-Mart” Walton. The curriculum will include planting, gardening, composting, harvesting, cooking, preserving, along with nutrition and the environmental impact of these modules. Parents and students can partake in these classes as local chefs enlighten, entertain, nourish and share their passion with the community. That deserves an “A” in my (cook) book. To help support these community outreach projects, BGFF will sponsor a “Berry Good Night” fundraiser March 18, reminiscent of the locavore extravaganzas of the past seven years hosted at the Lerach estate with sweeping views of the Pacific. A garden tour and cocktail hour is then followed by an alfresco Romanesque feast prepared by celebrated San Diego and Baja chefs in collaboration with organic farmers, vintners and brewers with all food and drinks sourced within 100 miles of the event. Diners can hone their culinary skills at interactive food stations, and rub elbows with the glitterati of the sustainable food community, along with budding young farmers and their four-legged friends. For more details on Berry Good Food Foundation, call (858) 480-9702 or visit berrygoodfood.org

• 1 cup fresh blueberries • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Health Dept. issues flu season update

he San Diego County Health Department reports that there are several flu strains circulating in the region, so if you already got and have recovered from the flu, you could get sick again. If you have a fever, are coughing and your body aches, chances are you’ve got the flu. Flu activity in San Diego typically lasts through the end of March or early April. It is not too late to get a flu shot. The flu vaccine is available at doctors’ offices and retail pharmacies. If you don’t have medical insurance, you can go to a County public health center to get vaccinated. For a list of locations, visit sdiz.org or call 211. If you have the flu, here is what health officials recommend you do: 1. Stay at home and rest. Most people who get the flu have mild illness and do not need medical care or antiviral drugs. Stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone without using fever-reducing medication. 2. Avoid close contact with people. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and throw it away after the first use. Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. 3. Drink plenty of water and other clear liquids as the first flu symptoms appear to avoid dehydration. Water is fine, but soup is better. You should eat nourishing food. Pass on alcohol or caffeinated beverages.

What are you reading? I will be visiting our SVP affiliate in Korea at the end of this month and making a trip to the DMZ (demiliterized zone), so I am reading up on Korean history. I’m now reading “The Invitation-Only Zone: The True Story of North Korea’s Abduction Project.” It’s a fascinating account about the many Japanese who were kidnapped and brought to North Korea to train spies. What’s frightening is the lengths North Korea went through to achieve its objectives. In this scary nuclear proliferation age, it is a stark reminder that we must never underestimate the lengths our enemies will take to deceive us. What is it that you most dislike? The status quo. It’s easy to say “no,” and stay with what’s comfortable. Too often, the status quo is comfortable for us, but it’s certainly not comfortable for those who depend on us to give them a helping hand. We all need to step up our games and help just a little more to alleviate the social challenges that still plague our city. What is your most-prized possession?

4. Fever reducers, antihistamines, decongestants and cough medicines could help you feel better, but they won’t help you recover any faster. Children and teens with flu symptoms (particularly fever) should avoid taking aspirin or aspirin-containing combination medications. Typical flu symptoms may last up to two weeks. 5. Call your doctor if your symptoms are severe or you are pregnant, 65 years or older or have a chronic medical condition. You might need antiviral drugs to treat your flu. to me by my grandfather for working eight hours in his plastic cover shop in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.

Lake Havasu is the dream vacation, and my wife and I go two to three times a year with our four kids. We can go anywhere, but we love Havasu because it’s the only place we can get our kids away from their electronics and gadgets, and we can be a family, laughing and having a blast together for extended periods of time. ■ Editor’s Note: Just in Time for Foster Youth (JITFFY) will hold its annual Walk the Talk gala, 6-9:30 p.m. Saturday, March 12 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine.

It is said that, in 1941 the Ford motor company produced an experimental automobile with a plastic body composed of 70% cellulose fibers from hemp. The car body could absorb blows 10 times as great as steel without denting. The car was designed to run on hemp fuel. Because of the ban on both hemp and alcohol, the car was never mass produced.

ou’ll never guess “hooo” was at the Library Feb. 19. It was a 5-year-old owl named Black! As part of the Big Science for Little People program, the Living Coast Discovery Center brought the owl to teach children in attendance all about him. Since they could not touch the owl, the Center also supplied a table full of talons, feathers, bones and more for the young scientists to examine. lajollalibrary.org
