Village Merchants OK Police nab proposed MAD plans residential Property owners’ burglar signature gathering Ask citizens at forum to ‘continue to be vigilant’
on the horizon
BY ASHLEY MACKIN The La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) at its March 9 meeting continued discussion on the La Jolla Community Foundation proposal to create a Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) to raise funds for beautifying and improving the Village. After nearly an hour of discussion, a motion to approve the “direction the steering committee is going,” passed unanimously, on the condition MAD proponents return to the
April meeting to update LJVMA on financial specifics and community interface. The proposed MAD would be managed by a nonprofit organization called Enhance La Jolla, which would operate under the auspices of the La Jolla Community SEE MAD, A16

‘A never ending battle’ Setbacks delay Shores street, utilty work BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Shores residents and business owners hoping for a reprieve from the ongoing street work along Avenida de la Playa and adjoining streets will have to wait a little longer. Make that a lot longer. Already more than two years in the works – with breaks during the summer and holiday construction moratorium – plans to fix the sewer and water underground infrastructure continue to face major setbacks that will add to the construction schedule. The work was expected to be complete at the end of 2015. At the March 9 La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) meeting at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, City of San Diego engineer Steve Lindsay said recent storms tested the mettle of the recently replaced underground storm infrastructure systems, and they did not pass. Drain systems such as box culverts, which protect the sewer and water mains; outfall structures, which discharge water from desalination plants to the sea; and water mains, have not held up to the requirements for which they were designed. “We typically design our conduits to withstand a 50-year storm, but the (current systems) can only handle a 10-year event under the best of circumstances. We’re having engineers look at that,” Lindsay said. In the storms that have taken place just this year, a sinkhole opened up at the end of

The end of Avenida de la Playa is closed off to keep people a safe distance from the unstable sinkhole that opened up in January.
“
We’ve hired a new engineering firm and are looking at some form of recourse for the first firm that designed the infrastructure that failed. We already have a claim against them for the first round of issues.
”
City engineer Steve Lindsay Avenida de la Playa and manhole covers have blown off because they couldn’t hold up to the pressure. This is coupled with issues from last year, including large structures not being sized correctly and needing to be taken out and replaced, and work taking longer than expected. “We’ve hired a new engineering firm and
are looking at some form of recourse for the first firm that designed the infrastructure that failed. We already have a claim against them for the first round of issues (from last year and 2014). We’re tracking all the changes, how much they will cost and go from there,” Lindsay said. City crews must suspend work on
Memorial Day for the summer construction moratorium, and will resume after Labor Day. Not intending to wait until Memorial Day, Lindsay said he and his crew would work to get the end of Avenida de la Playa stabilized and paved as soon as possible, to open the boat launch access point for ocean recreation. During the summer moratorium, he said they would develop a permanent solution. Crews will also determine whether it would be most effective to work piecemeal to fix problems they’ve already discovered or take out the recent work and essentially start SEE SHORES, A7

Shores board moves to stop park camping Considers a MAD to raise project funds
BY ASHLEY MACKIN To address the growing problem of illegal overnight camping in Kellogg Park during holidays such as Memorial Day, Labor Day and Fourth of July, the La Jolla Shores Association will work with police this year to head-off the occurrences. The issue was discussed at the March 9 LJSA meeting, when chair Nick LeBeouf explained that for the last several years in the late night hours before these holidays, cars arrive “in heavy, heavy numbers” and tents are set up so people have a prime beach spot the next day. However, overnight camping in an enclosed tent is illegal in the park. In the past, when calls to police started rolling in, Shores residents were told the issue was not a priority. Noting the need for a new approach, meeting attendee Bill Robbins observed, “It’s a Park and Rec issue and a police department issue, but you can’t expect one officer or one ranger to walk in when hundreds of people have already set up their tents and say ‘you can’t be here.’ If we have a few officers earlier in the day when

Police Captain Mark Hanten tells the Shores Association what the department can do to help deter illegal camping in Kellogg Park on holidays. people start to show up, it makes a world of difference.” Acknowledging the situation, Northern Division Police Captain Mark Hanten said, “That was our realization last year when we
showed up at the park and all the tents were already set up. We saw there was no way we would be able to put that genie back in the bottle. This year, we will try to minimize that from the onset and
make sure Kellogg Park doesn’t turn into a tent city.” He committed to having some officers onsite when campers begin to arrive, however Hanten cautioned he couldn’t guarantee those officers would not get called away in an emergency. “Over the last Fourth of July weekend, we had 90,000 to 100,000 people come to the beach communities and I have 150 cops. During that time, we get extra
help from other officers and the city’s park rangers, but it’s still and uphill battle,” he explained. “We are making a concerted effort in all the beach areas to keep the tents at a minimum. Having fully enclosed tents makes things difficult from a safety and security standpoint, because these tents can be conducive to everything from sexual assaults to drug and alcohol violations.” It’s the law in San Diego that city parks, tents cannot

have all four “walls” down and must be able to be seen through. To get the word out pre-Memorial Day weekend, LeBeouf said LJSA would use available funds to produce signs at every 100 yards, which state the park rules and prohibitions, and police would release Public Service Announcements. The board will also bank on the power of social media. “When you shut something down, people post about it on social media and they text each other, saying ‘we just got turned away, don’t come.’ That will have the same impression as positive social media postings,” noted meeting attendee John Shannon.
voted for local control so the Bird Rock Community Council took ownership of that and ran it. LJSA could certainly be qualified to do that,” he said. “Everyone who owns property pays in, including the City of San Diego, which must pay its fair share. The tax goes to the county, and the county gives it to the city, which keeps it in a lock-box. The local control spends the money and gets reimbursed by the city.” By having local control, La Cava added, there is a point of contact in the immediate area. “People liked that if there was a problem, there was a local person they could call who would be responsive. Whereas with the city, you are competing with all the other calls the city is getting.” The item was listed for discussion only, but it generated excitement among the board, and was slated for additional discussion at a future meeting. The idea came about following the presentations being made around town for the establishment of a MAD in the Village of La Jolla. (See related story on page A1).
Would a MAD help?
LJSA also discussed establishing a Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) to raise funds for park cleanup and maintenance beyond what the city can provide – and possibly contract for private security on peak-use days. La Jolla resident Joe LaCava helped form and run the Bird Rock MAD, and spoke to the LJSA about whether a MAD would be good for the Shores. Reflecting on the summer holiday situation, he said, “We had a big problem in Bird Rock during Halloween with people vandalizing and acting inappropriately … we were able to hire extra security for that day with the MAD funds.” LJSA member Mary Coakley-Munk asked whether MAD funds could be used to hire a ranger dedicated to Kellogg Park. LaCava said, “it’s worth looking into because the local group that manages the MAD could define the scope of what it covers.” However, he noted, a MAD is chiefly used to provide funding for additional maintenance services such as landscaping, trash pickup and sidewalk cleanup. To form a MAD, he explained, property owners vote to create a tax on themselves to fund

La Jolla resident Joe LaCava describes the steps to forming a Maintenance Assessment District to members of the La Jolla Shores Ssociation additional services. “It’s called ‘an assessment,’ but it’s really a tax,” LaCava joked. “So there has to be a vote of the affected property owners.” Explaining the lengthy process, which includes public outreach, petitions, fundraising or loans, and a vote of property owners, he shared his experience in establishing the Bird Rock MAD. “Most of the MADs in urban areas are managed by a legal entity.

Town Council backs ban on short-term vacation rentals BY ASHLEY MACKIN Tensions ran high during the La Jolla Town Council forum on the contentious issue of Short Term Vacation Rentals, March 10. With dozens wearing yellow stickers to show their support for the Save San Diego Neighborhoods (SSDN) association, an organization opposed to the practice of making ones house available for rent to visitors, the La Jolla Rec Center was packed to its edges to hear information and debate. The Town Council ultimately voted to support SSDN’s efforts to prohibit short-term vacation rentals in residential zones, after hearing from SSDN member Ronan Gray and head of the San Diego Vacation Rental Managers Alliance Jonah Mechanic. The forum was held to update La Jollans on the issue, proposed regulations for which have been explored at the city level for upwards of a year. In December 2015, the San Diego Planning Commission reviewed a plan months-in-the- making by City Councilmember Lorie Zapf, which was intended to create short-term vacation rental regulations that alleviate noise, safety and other community concerns. The proposal was rejected and it was suggested plans be retooled before

Residents gather at La Jolla Rec Center to hear discussion on short-term vacation rentals. Commissioners could support it. A date for another presentation has not been announced. At the La Jolla Town Council forum, both sides presented their positions and answered audience questions, some generating heated emotions regarding safety and
community fabric. Many of the questions were presented to Mechanic, from SSDN supporters and others opposed to short-term vacation rentals. Part of SSDN’s mission, according to its website, is “to rid our communities of absentee-owner

commercial mini-hotels” by banning them entirely in residential zones. However, Mechanic argued that bans in other tourist destinations have not worked, and so his group favors regulations that create a code of conduct and enforcement to
regulate it. “If we pass a ban, like they did in Palm Springs … it forces all the good operators out and the bad operators to go underground,” he said, noting that in Coronado, vacation rentals of less than 30 days are currently banned, but he was able to find 416 rentals listed. “Clearly their ban is not working,” he said. Instead, he said he would like to see new regulations incorporated in city code that clearly address short-term vacation rentals. Currently, the San Diego Municipal

These include charging a fee for a short-term vacation rental license, for which the city currently does not charge; mandating that the first line of any rental listing include the license number, to insure the host is registered with the city; designating a 24/7 point of contact when the house is being occupied for both the guest and the host; capping the occupancy at two per room, plus two; presenting a neighborhood code of conduct and imposing fees for those who do not follow it. The fees collected through licensing and code of conduct violations would fund the enforcement needed to make sure these rules are followed. “Enhanced enforcement (is needed) via

Yes there are bad hosts out there, but more importantly, there are bad guests. You could be a great host and have a bad guest. If you have a bad guest, the guest should be fined just as much as the host should be fined.” Unconvinced that the proposed regulations – which have been heard at City
Council and other city agencies – would be an effective deterrent, the Town Council voted to support efforts to ban short-term vacation rentals, and requested the city’s municipal code section on visitor accommodations to vetted to include or preclude short-term vacation rentals. Town Council president Steve Haskins said he would write a letter to the City Council and the Mayor’s office stating the council’s position. ■ La Jolla Town Council meets 5 p.m. second Thursdays at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollatowncouncil.org
Due to scheduling conflicts, a planned discussion on speed limit changes along Soledad Mountain Road has been postponed to April 20. At La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation advisory board (T&T) meeting in January, the City of San Diego requested a speed limit increase for Soledad Mountain Road between Pacifica Drive and Soledad Road. Although the request was approved at T&T, it was pulled for further discussion at La Jolla’s Community Planning Association. Following the discussion, and because new information was made available, the item was sent back to T&T for reconsideration. It will be heard at the 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 20 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. Those who would like to weigh-in on the matter are invited to attend. manana@san.rr.com
FROM SHORES, A3 over. Lindsay said he expects crews to be working on this project through the winter, but could not project beyond that. He did note, however, that as soon as the sewer and water main replacement job is complete, SDG&E will move in and begin an undergrounding project for the Shores. “We thought there would be a break in between, but the undergrounding is going to come right after we get done. It’s like a never ending battle,” he said. Citywide, overhead power lines are going

The city estimates that nearly all residential areas will be undergrounded within the next 53 years. The Shores area was scheduled for undergrounding, which typically takes 18-24 months, by a drawing of lots. However, SDG&E crews and city crews coordinated to make sure one project would follow the other, rather than working concurrently. Once the projects are complete, the street will be repaved, initiating a five-year moratorium during which time no work that involves trenching can take place.

Project takes Scouts out to Rawhide Ranch
T
hree Girl Scouts from Muirlands Middle School — Lauren Nitahara, Terra Evans and Emerson Takata — completed their Silver Project by volunteering at Rawhide Ranch in Bonsall in February. The girls built a livery stable, which is a multi-use structural addition to the ranch that will primarily be used as an outdoor classroom to teach horse care to children who come to the ranch as campers. The seventh-graders also fixed up an existing building by taking out the shrubs and painting it.

La Jolla Rotarians visit Haiti to help young orphans
The children’s home was supposed to be finished prior to the Rotarians’ arrival and they were supposed to do the painting. But being behind schedule created an opportunity for Dave Weston to help tile the two main bedrooms of the home.
Dr. David Brockett gives each child a dental exam.
FROM ROTARY CLUB REPORTS On March 1, Rotarians from Rotary Club of La Jolla, friends and family members flew to Port Au Prince Haiti to build a chicken coop in the nearby Jeremie, to provide a much-needed source of protein for the local children. The Rotarians included Lora Fisher; David Brockett; Charles Hartford; David Weston; Susan Stevens (with son and daughter, Trent and Hallie Stevens); Pat Stouffer (with wife Fran and daughter Gwen Allen); Ken King (with employee Josh Lawson); and Fredrick Clerie founder of HopeStart, International (hopestartinternation.com) as their guide. Trent interviewed each participant for a documentary about his or her experiences. “I’m still processing and reflecting on the trip,” said club president Lora Fisher. “There are so many obstacles that Haitians face — from government issues to poor living conditions to lack of education. I was truly inspired and amazed by the children at the HopeStart children’s home. Their reading skills and English truly exceeded my expectations. I believe because of the education and nurturing and support they are receiving, they will not only impact their communities, but also be the next leaders in Haiti. Programs like this are the beginning of the healing for Haiti.” Added Ken King, “There are a only few times in one’s life where an event or task alters thoughts and changes the way life is viewed. For me, this Haiti trip was one of those times.”
COURTESY PHOTOS
The chicken coop awaits completion. In Sue Stevens’ eyes, “One of the highlights for me was meeting the children at the orphanage. Their energy and enthusiasm made all our efforts worth it. Lora brought a suitcase filled with new shoes in various sizes for both boys and girls. What fun it was to help them find a pair that fit! They were so delighted to be walking and running in new sandals. And they were so eager to play with the new soccer balls we had supplied! I love visualizing all of the children in their new environment. The property they will be moving to is beautiful and has a cooling ocean breeze. The buildings they will be living and learning in are new and clean. And a playground is in the planning stages. Frederick and his organization are doing wonderful, life changing work for those children.”
The children’s home holds 22 residents. Lora Fisher and Fredrick Clerie read an English/Creole book with the children. All of the older children could read and were learning English.

FROM CRIME, A1 to his statistics, there was no recent spike in those crimes — he attributed that perception to the rise in awareness due to social media and websites like nextdoor.com — but he also announced that the department had found a person they believed responsible for at least seven recent burglaries. “I am happy to report that we did catch a burglar in the South La Jolla area Wednesday night (March 9),” Hesselgesser told the appreciative crowd at the La Jolla Rec Center, adding: “But we do know that there are more out there, so we do want you to continue to be vigilant.” In fact, much of the conversation that followed was about how ordinary citizens can help police keep the streets safer. Hesselgesser and fellow officer Robert Daun, the Northern Division Service Area Lieutenant for the beach side, took questions for more than half an hour following a statement from resident Nathan Jernigan, which opened the dialogue. “We are here to ask the council what we can do about (the increase in crime),” Jernigan said. “We don’t have enough police coverage; we don’t have enough officers assigned to our area. We’ve been having too many burglaries in our neighborhoods; we’ve been having several a week.” Staffing, Hesselgesser and Daun admitted, is an issue when it comes to non-emergency dispatch. This line — phone number (619) 531-2000 — is a place for citizens to report suspicious activity when it’s not necessary to call 911. “We are trying to hire them as quickly as we can,” Dawn said. “We have the positions

available, it’s a matter of finding the qualified candidates. For whatever reason, San Diego is not the primary choice of a lot of people coming into the dispatching field.” However, Hesselgesser said the number of police officers assigned to La Jolla remained constant because there is a minimum staffing requirement to keep the officers safe. “One group of Northern Division officers is assigned to the east side of the freeway, and (another group) handles Torrey Pines, La Jolla, Pacific Beach and Mission Beach,” Hesselgesser explained. “There might be six to eight officers on any given day on each side. You might have two in La Jolla at any given time; you could have four if something was going on. You could even have the officers come from the other side of
the freeway to help out. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember.” And not only have the number of police patrolling La Jolla remained the same, so has the number of burglaries. “We are right in line with what we normally see,” Hesselgesser said. “Although one month might be higher than the previous month, I can’t say we are having a huge spike in burglaries. In November in La Jolla, we had 23 residential burglaries and in February, we had 21. And January was 12. It’s the same thing with thefts and car prowls. It’s kind of average.” Since much of the discussion focused on ways Neighborhood Watch groups and people can help police keep track of possible crimes — calling in or e-mailing pictures and

descriptions of suspicious persons and cars — the Town Council voted to do its part. Trustee Ann Kerr Bache moved that “the Town Council assume responsibility of coordinating and reporting crime and safety throughout La Jolla and they accomplish this through coordinating with neighbor associations (i.e. Neighborhood Watch and nextdoor.com).” The motion was approved unanimously. Hesselgesser also encouraged the public to e-mail him any crime information they had, as long as they made sure to be safe in obtaining it. He said it was reports from La Jolla residents that helped the department catch the burglar on Wednesday. ■ E-mail Officer Hesselgesser at lhesselgesser@pd.sandiego.gov

FROM MAD, A1 Foundation. Using a tax on property owners in the area (along with private donations for capital improvement projects), MAD funds would supplement services above what the city can provide. Property owners would be taxed less than $100 annually with the merchants’ amount still to be determined. The proposal has gained approval from every other voting community advisory board in La Jolla to which the Enhance La Jolla steering committee has presented. Reiterating February meeting discussions, LJVMA president Claude-Anthony Marengo said, “We realized there is a lot we don’t know, especially the specific costs to merchants. Then we heard the numbers. We found they are not regulated, just suggested as part of the proposal. “I think the idea is good, but … I look at this MAD as a vehicle for the larger capital improvement projects. How those decisions are made is going to affect us (merchants in the Village) more than the lighting and flower baskets. I would personally feel better voting for something if I knew exactly what I was voting for, so when it comes time, I can say whether this is something we voted on or not.” On hand to address concerns was John Lambeth, president of Civitas, a group that helps establish districts, such as a MAD, statewide, which was hired by the Enhance La Jolla steering committee. “This is a fluid process,” Lambeth explained. “We start early, and there was a will to get to this board early, but it is also a changing process, so the engineer is going to have involvement (that could change the terms) … and at the end we are going to go to the City Council and they could change things. So while we have ideas now, they could change over time. … But the City Council does not have the option to raise (the assessment amount) or to expand the territory. The only possibility is they could reduce (the amount) or shrink (the territory). “We have a chicken-and-egg problem. We want to get to you early and your opinion means a lot to us. But at the same time, we don’t have all the dollars-and-cents details

you want and there might be changes in the MAD creation process.” Lambeth said the urgency to get support is to keep the process moving along on schedule. As previously reported in La Jolla Light, the Enhance La Jolla steering committee wants the MAD established by July 31 to allow the assessments to be available by Jan. 1, 2017. As early as next month, the San Diego City Council could vote to approve a resolution of intention to form a MAD, which triggers a vote of affected property owners. The ballot would have detailed information, including verified numbers for how much residents and property owners would be assessed. The results of the residents’ vote would go to the City Council for verification this summer. Lambeth explained the annual county deadline for forming districts like a MAD is in August. “So if we get all this done and the City Council votes in favor, and we are

ready in August, we can begin operations in 2017. If we miss that deadline, we have to wait a whole year. So on one hand, we want to make sure everything is vetted and get as much feedback as we can, but also move forward as expeditiously as possible so as not to miss August deadline.” Steering committee chair Mark Dibella added, “If we miss the deadline, a district would still be formed, but no taxes would be collected on Jan. 1, however, we could collect private funds for capital improvement projects.” Addressing another concern raised, Lambeth said efforts will be taken to ensure baseline city services remain uninterrupted with the formation of a MAD. “We’ve been talking with the city to see what services they are providing and the frequencies, and we do the best we can to lock them in and catalog these services on paper,” he said. “So many times, these things are left to oral communications or memory, and council members change and staff members change, but when you commit it on paper, we found that works very well. If someone is tempted to move those services away later, we can say ‘no,’ and show them what we have.” Satisfied by the information provided, LJVMA member Brett Murphy said, “My fear is that we, as a town, are falling behind and this is a perfect way to keep up with the Jones, if you will, because when you have other communities that can testify to the success of a MAD, sure we can thumb through all the details we want, but at the end of the day it has to be right for the Village. I like where this is going conceptually.” The next steps include the project engineer finalizing a report to submit to the City, and from there, the steering committee will begin gathering signatures from property owners within the boundaries of the proposed MAD to indicate their support of moving the process forward. The steering committee will have more details for the Merchants Association in April. ■ La Jolla Village Merchants Association meets 3 p.m. second Wednesdays at La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. lajollabythesea.org
Prepare Your Home For Sale Every seller wants to bring in top dollar for their home. If a home is empty without furniture, it can be difficult for some buyers to imagine themselves living in it. It is important to bring in a fresh, new appeal for home buyers. This can include new paint, bringing in neutral colors or getting the windows and carpet professionally cleaned. Schedule any needed repairs and replace worn carpet, fix loose door knobs, repair leaky faucets, change hardware, epoxy coat the garage. Staging your home for sale can also add value. Bring in furniture, artwork, bedding, pillows, and some home décor to create a balanced and inviting space. According to the Real Estate Staging Association, professionally listed staged properties spend 87 percent less time on the market. In California, if a home is staged prior to going on the market it will sell 5X faster than a home that is not staged.

COURTESY
The Year of the Monkey will be celebrated at the 14th annual Friends of Taka Sumi-e art society show and sale, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 19 and Sunday, March 20 in Room 101, Casa del Prado, Balboa Park, located between the lily pool and the San Diego Natural History Museum. In addition to artworks of Japanese brush paintings, the show features a narrated tea ceremony, painting demonstrations, a fashion show, and live music. Students and associates of San Diego Community College instructor Takashi Ijichi will exhibit original paintings of many subjects, including monkeys, in both sumi (ink) and Asian watercolors.
Several painters are from La Jolla, and one of the exhibitors, Deborah Pennell, will be honored as a Shi Han or 10-year student of Sensei Ijichi. As a Shi Han, Pennell can now teach basic Japanese sumi-e painting to beginning students. The Monkey is the ninth sign in Asian astrology. Number 9 is associated with ambition, activity, smartness, mischief and adventure, according to legend. Those born in the Year of the Monkey are said to be problem solvers, working with their group while simultaneously demonstrating an independence associated with achievers.

Bovine beach-goers recreate historic photo BY ASHLEY MACKIN
L
a Jolla Historical Society set out to recreate the famous 1906 photo of cows lounging on the beach at La Jolla Shores in honor of its 110th anniversary. As the sun rose the morning of March 13, 11 cows from the Van Ommering Dairy Farm in Lakeside and the Eden Vale Dairy Farm in Lemoore were brought to the beach so famed photographer Philipp Scholz Rittermann could shoot a 2016 version of the image. Both photos will be on display starting June 4 as part of an exhibition exploring the early-20th century period of La Jolla Shores, at the La Jolla Historical Society’s Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. lajollahistory.org

Dr. Debbie Kim brings Beautiful Smiles to La Jolla BY MARTI GACIOCH Doctor/patient relationships are the essential reason why Dr. Debbie Kim with Beautiful Smiles of La Jolla became a dentist, she said. Dr. Kim has practiced dentistry in San Diego since 2002 and opened her La Jolla office last July at 8861 Villa La Jolla, Suite 501. She is a comprehensive family dentist doing general dentistry, including fillings, crowns, bridges, veneers, teeth whitening, extractions, soft tissue laser treatment and periodontal (gum) disease management. “But my primary focus is on cosmetic dentistry, and I specialize in implant dentistry where I place and restore implants as a high-quality, permanent solution to a missing tooth/teeth,” Dr. Kim said. Communicating and sharing with her patients is clearly an essential part of why she loves her work. “My patients are not just my patients; they are people I wouldn’t get to meet anywhere else, and I learn so much from every one of them I treat,” she said. “As they share their stories with me, I learn about their personal lives and work.” Ohio-born, Dr. Kim said she moved to Poway with her parents at age 12 where she later graduated from Poway High School. She studied psychology at UCLA where she earned her undergraduate degree. Then her life took a very different path after mentors inspired her to become a dentist. She attended dentistry classes at the Herman Ostrow School of
Dentistry at University of Southern California. She continues learning the latest implant techniques in numerous ongoing education courses, and volunteers her skills by providing free dental exams to underprivileged children in Fallbrook. Dr. Kim said her future plans include bringing another dentist into her office, but for now as her practice grows, she’s happy with her staff of six employees. “I love my intimate team at Beautiful Smiles because everyone is caring and wants our patients to have a good experience,” she said. “With a small practice, it’s great to have more time to spend with my patients.” In her free time, Dr. Kim, who was a competitive golfer at UCLA, remains an active player and loves hiking and doing yoga. She always welcomes new patients, referrals and patients seeking emergency dental treatment. See her Beautiful Smiles $99 ad special, which includes a comprehensive dental exam, teeth cleaning and X-rays in La Jolla Light. ■ Dr. Debbie Kim, D.D.S., Beautiful Smiles of La Jolla, 8861 Villa La Jolla, Suite 501.

OUR READERS WRITE Kudos to city for removing dead vines
WELCOME SPRING
I want to thank San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner and Sarah Mojabi, who works in her office, for following through on my request to have the dead vines, hanging on the sides of the Torrey Pines Road pedestrian bridge for more than three years, removed. The vines were killed three years ago as a safety measure, but the city never removed them. The bridge is one of the main gateways into La Jolla and the vines were an eyesore that greeted everyone driving into La Jolla. This enhancement certainly adds to the sparkle and shine of La Jolla. — Joani Nelson
Palsy in the news … and Masterpiece Theatre hit Last Sunday night, La Jollans enjoyed a bittersweet farewell to the program many have followed for six years. Masterpiece Theatre’s “Downton Abbey” tied up many loose ends for the beloved characters of that so-popular (200 million-plus viewers around the world) drama. One of the important characters throughout the series was the Head Butler, Mr. Carson. He was shown with very shaky hands trying to pour wine into a glass, meanwhile spilling the wine to his own consternation and the concern of the family. When confronted by the family, who wanted a doctor to see him, in his familiar deep voice he answered, “I know what it is. My father and my grandfather had it. My father called it ‘palsy.’ ” The condition is now known as “Essential Tremor,” a neurological condition that affects millions of people. The International Essential Tremor Foundation (essentialtremor.org) educates the public and funds ongoing research into the condition. Once known as familial tremor, benign tremor or hereditary tremor, essential tremor (ET) is a neurological condition that causes a rhythmic trembling of the hands, head, voice, legs or trunk. Some people even feel an internal shake. ET is often confused with Parkinson’s disease although it’s eight times more common, affecting an estimated 10 million Americans and millions more worldwide. But essential tremor is more than just a tremor. Because of stereotypes and a lack of awareness, many people with ET never seek medical care. I am one of the millions affected and have been helped by the Movement Clinic at UCSD Health. Other local medical groups also offer specialized care by neurologists specializing in

— Greg Wiest
ET. I would urge anyone reading this who suffers from “shaky hands” (or head or voice) to seek a specialist. There are medications and practical approaches available to minimize the tremor. March happens to be “Essential Tremor Month” with activities around the country in an attempt to familiarize Americans with the condition. — Edith S. Kodmur
Stop Daylight Saving Time flim-flam Of the 10 most populous countries of the world, only the United States and Brazil go through the biannual nonsense of changing clocks forward and backward twice a year. China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia and Japan keep constant time, as do two out of 50 states: Arizona and Hawaii. More than two-thirds of countries and territories keep constant time and they hold almost four-fifths of the world’s population. Every location on Earth, by political choice, adheres to a time zone with a preference for having 12 p.m. on the clock coincide within 30 minutes of solar noon. The Daylight Saving ritual does nothing other than borrow the adjacent time zone to the east during summer and then give it back in winter. As a result, everything sun related happens an hour later according to the set-ahead-clocks: solar noon, the hottest part of the day, sunset and sunrise. Time zones generally span an east west distance equal to what solar noon travels at a given latitude from east to west in an hour. On standard time, people who live on the westernmost line of a time zone already have the effect of Daylight Saving compared to those
who live on the easternmost line. Sunrise and sunset happen an hour later because it takes those events an hour to transit from east to west. So what's the point? If someone really wants Daylight Saving, let them move to the western border of any time zone or just get up earlier on their own initiative — or for an actual daylight boost, summer in Nome and winter in Ushuaia. — John Berol
Time to consider a vegetable-based diet I look forward to March 20, first day of spring, balmy weather and blooming flowers. Hundreds of communities welcome spring with an observance of Great American Meatout, asking neighbors to explore a healthy, compassionate diet of vegetables, fruits, legumes and grains. Indeed, 56 percent of respondents to a Global Meat News poll said they were or are reducing meat intake. U.S. per capita red meat consumption has dropped by more than 16 percent since 1999. Each of us should celebrate our own advent of spring by checking out plant-based foods at our supermarkets and vegan recipes on the Internet. — Lyle Kirkland ■ WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

Pathfinder Partners, LLC, closes Opportunity Fund V, L.P. From Pathfinder Partners Reports Pathfinder Partners, LLC, a San Diego-based company that has been acquiring value-add, opportunistic and distressed real estate since 2006, has closed Pathfinder Partners Opportunity Fund V, L.P., the firm’s fifth fund focused on acquiring real estate assets in mid-tier cities throughout the western United States. The firm received $87 million in commitments for the fund. According to Mitch Siegler, senior managing director and co-founder of Pathfinder, the fund, which held its initial closing in January 2015, had its final closing in late Dec. 2015. “With seven acquisitions closed to date and two properties under contract and scheduled to close during the next month, we have already deployed about one-half of the fund capital,” Siegler said. With an emphasis on multifamily and residential investments, the fund’s recent investments total nearly $30 million and include Cedardale Apartments, a 126-unit apartment complex in Seattle; Red Tail Townhomes, 75 townhomes in Portland, Oregon; Sky Condominiums, 64 condos in Las Vegas; and apartments and developable land comprising an entire city block in San Diego’s Pacific Beach

entries are expected, offering a variety of perspectives on the surf-inspired theme. The contest is open to ages 18 and younger. Many area schools participate by having their art classes submit entries. The artwork of the top 40 entries, selected by jury, will be on exhibit at the La Jolla Riford Library Center from mid-April through mid-May. The judges are looking for original art that showcases kids having fun while surfing at La Jolla Shores. Entries may be submitted via mail or e-mail by March 21. To submit an entry and find out more about the art contest, e-mail contest coordinator Alex Furuholmen: furufun@cox.net or visit ljssa.org
Signs at Children’s Pool not from Town Council La Jolla Town Council president Steve Haskins wants to set the record straight concerning some signs posted at La Jolla Children’s Pool. Installed as educational fliers instructing visitors not to touch or feed the harbor seals that haul out there, the flier is signed “La Jolla Town Council.” However, Haskins says the signs are not from the Council and further, “We have nothing to do with anything going on at Children’s Pool.” The sign reads: “No petting, no feeding, stay within four feet, no flash photography. Touching or inhibiting natural behavior of these animals is a violation of the marine mammal protection act and can result in

arrest and fines. Did you know, during pupping season, pups need to be with their mothers and your interference can affect their development and overall well being. If you see a pup on its own, the mother seal is trying to wean it and will not return until there are no humans in sight. Respect nature. Respect the seals. Admire them from a distance.”

Maeve Rochford, owner/baker at Sugar and Scribe bakery
‘Irish Woman of the Year’ is Maeve Rochford BY ASHLEY MACKIN ell, someone’s Irish eyes are smiling! Maeve Rochford, owner/baker at La Jolla’s Sugar and Scribe, was named “Irish Woman of the Year” by the Irish Congress of San Diego. For the honor, she and “Irish Man of the Year,” Frances Kilgallon, owner of the Blarney Stone Pub in Clairemont, were recognized at a breakfast before the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Festival in Balboa Park on March 12, and they got to top a float in the parade. Afterward, Rochford had a booth in the “Food Village” to share her wares. Also, the winner of this season’s Food Network “Holiday Baking Championship,” Rochford has had Sugar and Scribe at 7660 Fay Ave. for about a year, where she serves Irish-inspired food, as well as sweet and savory treats. The televised competition aired its finale in December 2015, where she held a screening party in her bakery. With the $50,000 prize, she said she would reimburse her mother (whose investment helped launch Sugar and Scribe), give her employees a bonus, and make a donation to the Helen Woodward Animal Center. “When looking for someone to recognize, we talk about who in the community has sparked our interest through their accomplishments and activities in the Irish community,” said parade chair Moe Giacalone. “We wanted to recognize Maeve because of the great shop she has successfully run, and the fact that she participates strongly in other cooking ventures in the community. She’s proud of her heritage and cooks Irish food at her shop.” The name “Maeve” reportedly comes from an Irish word that means “the cause of great joy.” SEE IRISH, B14

■ La Jollan establishes Chinese Dance Academy BY ASHLEY MACKIN ombining a family history of performing and her culture’s rich native traditions, La Jolla resident Qi Zhang has brought the art of Chinese dance to San Diego. She opened a studio in 2012, operating out of the Jewish Community Center in La Jolla, and in 2015, she launched the Chinese Dance Academy of California in Sorrento Valley. “I have a lot of American-born Chinese students, and some other students, including American and Indian students. They all like to learn about different facets of Chinese culture,” Zhang told La Jolla Light. “There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and each one has a different style and different movements that reflect their culture in dance. Some are very open in their movements and very dramatic, others are more shy. Some performances are like court dances for royalty and some are inspired by paintings that have

Dancer and studio master Qi Zhang of La Jolla survived from ancient dynasties. There are also some that re-create folk stories.” One audience favorite is inspired by a story of a fairy that lives in the moon with a rabbit. Zhang said because of the
costumes, different postures, facial expressions, and the dynasties they represent, audiences are “transported back to that era. “Our dance moves developed from Chinese opera traditions, so the gestures and poses and facial expressions are very different. We tell a story with body movements and our faces.” To come up with the routines, Zhang takes cultural notes from each era and area, to create specific choreography to teach her students. “It’s like with cooking, you take the basic ingredients for a dish, but how it turns out depends on the chef; the taste might be different. We need those ingredients, but can make it our own and add flavor to it.” Something in Zhang’s recipe is seasoned just right, for in just one year, her students have developed into a polished troupe that has been asked to appear at the Poway Center for Performing Arts, and her dancers have SEE DANCE, B4

ike most people these days, we use online bill paying. We enter our bill pay information once, the company sends an e-mail notification of the bill, we review it, and if it’s correct, we click Pay. What we won’t do is Auto Bill Pay where you give a company permission to automatically debit your credit card or bank account every month. This is especially true if the company in question is a cable or water company, or anything that purports to be a health club. The first two are prone to errors (see my recent column about my neighbor’s $41,000 water bill after a meter reader transposed two digits); the latter is notorious for continuing to charge your credit card months after you’ve cancelled (or have expired). Further, our credit cards are compromised too often these days requiring replacement so an automatic debit is a recipe for disaster and/or having your water turned off. This is especially annoying in August. What’s puzzling about our cable company’s billing site is that your only two options are either automatic bill pay (NEVER!) or having to re-input all of your bank or credit card information each and every month. I was hoping I had misunderstood this and contacted their
Customer Chat line. Here is the verbatim transcript: Alwin: Thank you for contacting XYZ Cable. At the end of our chat you will be given the option of taking a brief survey. My name is Alwin. How may I assist you? Inga: I just typed in my question before. Can you see it? Alwin: I am sorry for that. Alwin: Please give me a moment while I look into your account for more information on that. Inga: What is the point of asking the customer to write out their question for a chat then have the analyst not be able to see it? Alwin: I apologize for the inconvenience. Inga: OK the question AGAIN is: we want to pay our bill on line but previously the only option was automatic deduction without our being able to review the bill in advance. You guys make a lot of errors. The phone and utility companies allow you to put your bank account information on the site just once then approve the bill each month and click Pay. Does XYZ now have this service? Alwin: Please give me a moment while I look into your account for more information
on that. Inga: Alwin, it has nothing to do with our account. I’m asking about XYZ Cable bill pay options. Can you get me someone who knows anything about this? Alwin: Yes sure, I am just looking on your question. Inga: Currently we pay our XYZ cable bill with a check. HOW DO WE PAY OUR BILL ONLINE BUT BE ABLE TO REVIEW IT FIRST??? Alwin: You can go to MyServices and in that through PayXpress you can change your billing to Recurring Payment or also you can manually pay through PayXpress. Inga: Yes, but my understanding of paying manually is that you have to put your bank account numbers and routing numbers in EVERY SINGLE TIME. Does XYZ Cable have a service where you can store your account information on-line, then preview the bill before paying it? Yes or no? Alwin: No worries. Inga: Um, what does that mean? Alwin: You can change your settings to recurring payment in PayXpress and it will automatically debited from your bank. Inga: YES, BUT DO WE GET TO SEE AND APPROVE THE BILL FIRST??????? Alwin: I would like you to know that as it will be automatically paid you will not be able to do that. Inga: Every other company in America allows you to see the bill first if you want to. Please give me the address of XYZ Corporate Headquarters. Alwin: In that case you need to pay it on your own. Inga: Please give me the address of XYZ Corporate Headquarters.
Ever try getting help with a bill on a cable company Customer Chat line? Alwin: Please give me a moment. Alwin: Thank you for your patience. Alwin: I can provide you with the phone number. Alwin: That is 888-XY-CABLE. Inga: What use is that? Surely there are people who run this organization who go to an actual building. I NEED AN ADDRESS. Would you please go ask someone? Alwin: We don't have the postal address handy with us. Inga: Thanks, Alwin, for a total waste of time. Alwin: Again, my name is Alwin. Thank you for chatting with XYZ Cable. We value you as a customer and are here to assist you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you would like to take a brief survey, please click on End Session and the survey will load. Inga: You have no idea how much I’m looking forward to taking that survey.

Qi Zhang speaks with her young dancers before a performance. FROM DANCE, B1 taken silver and gold medals in local competitions. Further, Zhang was a co-choreographer in the San Diego Repertory Theater production of “The Oldest Boy.” She is in discussions with San Diego Ballet to create a special piece. Zhang said she grew up in a performing family near Beijing, China, and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance Performance and Education from the Beijing Dance Academy, studying both classical Chinese and modern dance. “I auditioned for a prestigious dance school — one that picks 12 girls and 12 boys from the entire country each year — and I got in,” she said. “I entered a professional dance school at age 10 that was like a military boarding school. For six years, we

trained together, studied together and danced several hours a day. “My father is a classical cellist and my mother is an actress, and they knew the pressure that I was in for (choosing a career in the arts), but I really wanted to be dancer, so I committed to my training.” After graduation, she became a principal dancer in the Beijing Youth Dance Troupe, and traveled the world. In 2003, Zhang decided it was time to pass her knowledge onto others. She started a dance school in Thousand Oaks, just north of Los Angeles; and another one in Irvine in Orange County three years later. “I wanted to be challenged professionally and also follow my passion ... but sometimes life brings you surprises,” she smiled. Soon after the Irvine studio opened, Zhang met her would-be husband, La Jolla resident
Steven Holtzman. She moved to The Jewel to be near him, and the two quickly married. “We soon had a daughter, Aria (now 6). During that time, I didn’t want to do anything having to do with dance. I just wanted to be a mom. “When I do something, I commit 100 percent of my energy to doing it, so Aria was my focus,” Zhang said. However, two years ago, life brought her another surprise. “I was invited to attend the 60th anniversary of the Beijing Dance Academy celebration,” she said. “There were all kinds of traditional dances and performances I got to see, as well as some of my former colleagues and professors, and some of them were still dancing. One of my former professors, Miss Chen, is now in her 80s, and she was still dancing!” Watching her, Zhang said, “I couldn’t stop
crying. I realized it was time for me to continue dancing again.” The Chinese Dance Academy of California offers classes that range in difficulty, based on age and experience. Rosario Obregon, whose daughter takes classes, said “As a parent, from the moment you see Qi you know that she is the person you want your child to learn from. Her grace and skills as a dancer combined with her firm but thoughtful way of teaching keep our daughter Olivia engaged and committed to her classes. She balances her teaching of classical dance and Chinese traditional dance which brings cultural richness to her classes. It is a good sign when two-and-a-half-hours of class goes by without noticing!” ■ ON THE WEB: qizhangdancestudio.com

■ First up is San Diego Repertory Theatre’s “R. Buckminster Fuller: The History (And Mystery) of the Universe,” (now-April 3) with Ron Campbell — an award-winning actor who was also lead clown for Cirque du Soleil — reprising the role he created in the REP’s world premiere, almost exactly 16 years ago. Writer-director D.W. Jacobs, co-founder of the REP, has crafted an engaging piece from the life, work and writings of one of the 20th century’s most original thinkers, turning audiences into crewmembers on “Spaceship Earth.” Engineer, architect, poet, inventor and practical philosopher, “Bucky” Fuller (1895-1983) was a modern-day Leonardo da Vinci whose proposed solutions to global problems seem more timely than ever today. Said Jacobs, who is, once again, directing, “After the world premiere in 2000, the play grew to be like a space capsule, taking Bucky’s ideas on a long trajectory around the world. Now we’re circling back to San Diego in an almost planetary conjunction with The REP’s 40th Anniversary Season. There is some kind of orbital magic in this return.” (San Diego Repertory Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, (619) 544-1000, sdrep.org)

TheNAT makes a splash with new whales exhibit FROM MUSEUM REPORTS he San Diego Natural History Museum dives into its big, new exhibition with a “Whale of a Time Family Day,” 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, March 20, providing visitors with a blend of science, storytelling and innovative interactivity to discover more about the world of whales. Featuring the latest in international cetacean research, the exhibition “Whales: Giants of the Deep,” will bring adults and children eye to eye with some of the world’s most elusive creatures. Developed by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the exhibit showcases two fully articulated sperm whale skeletons (including a 58-foot male), and rare specimens from Te Papa’s whale collection, one of the largest in the world. There is a lot to learn about the intricacies of whale biology, the history of whaling in New Zealand, and efforts being made by scientists and others to protect whales from threats of entanglement, shipping and sonar use, and the continuation of whaling practices in some parts of the world. And just for fun, children can crawl through a life-size replica of the heart of a blue whale, the Earth’s largest living creature. The exhibit also contains ancient and contemporary works of whale-related art and recordings of stories from people of the South Pacific illustrating the powerful

FROM SOLO, B4 Actor/writer Luckinbill, who has soloed as Teddy Roosevelt, Ernest Hemingway and Lyndon Johnson, created his own more rounded and intimate version of Darrow in the 1990s, performed it at the second Clinton Inauguration in 1997, and continues touring with it today. Clarence Darrow (1857-1938) was a complex man whose free-thinking family sheltered runaway slaves when he was a child. Once a corporate lawyer for Chicago railroads, he became the champion of striking railroad workers, coal miners, child-laborers, and other unpopular underdogs — even including thrill-killers Leopold and Loeb. A fascinating, flawed fighter for justice, he’ll be on view for two nights only. (7:30 p.m. March 21-22, North Coast Rep, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach (858) 481-1055. northcoastrep.org)

Billed as a fiercely funny, satirical take on 500 years of history from the Aztecs and Incas to World War II, the show may well go the way of his 2010 Page-To-Stager, “Ghetto Klown,” which went on to win awards for Outstanding Solo Performance on Broadway.

New Haven Youth & Family Services
St. Germaine hears about program helping at-risk boys BY NICOLE HALL-BROWN t started with a piece of wood, handcrafted and modeled into a writing tool similar to a stylish and expensive Monte Blanc or Waterman. That small creation led to big opportunity for adolescent boys, labeled as “at-risk” to society. On Thursday, March 3 at a home in La Jolla Shores, more than 50 members of St. Germaine Children’s Charity and their guests listened to a moving presentation by Doreen Quinn, CEO of New Haven Youth & Family Services. Since 1989, St. Germaine has contributed approximately $200,000 to support the development of New Haven’s therapeutic and educational programs. During Quinn’s presentation, she shared how St. Germaine’s dollars have aided the creation of New Haven programs that help the boys with behavioral, mental health, substance abuse, learning disabilities and/or school truancy problems. “We realized the boys enrolled in our program emotionally and behaviorally respond positively from creating something with their hands,” said Quinn. “We watched the change in attitude when given a piece of wood and asked to create a birdhouse

In 1989, we requested $10,000 from St. Germaine to build our first wood shop, and in no time, we were able to open the doors and offer all the boys an opportunity to create something with their hands and learn a skill they could apply to a job.” Since 1967, New Haven Youth & Family Services has offered a sanctuary of hope for more than 15,000 families and boys, ages 12-18. The philosophy of the program is based on its comprehensive therapeutic education model that includes social, emotional and behavioral intervention, career
technical education and life skills development with targeted academic curriculum. All New Haven programs incorporate “best practices,” as designated by the State of California, to meet the multi-dimensional needs of “at-risk” youth. Annually, more than 200 youth are enrolled at New Haven and the average stay is 13 months, said Quinn. Of this population, a great majority of the students come from disadvantaged households and have disabilities. Many are referred by the Department of Social Services and/or more than 50 school districts in Southern California.

New Haven has an 84 percent graduation rate, Quinn said. Its program focuses on career technical education and life skills to help position youth to progress beyond bottom-rung jobs and into careers where their personal goals can be fulfilled. New Haven offers students opportunities to learn advanced furniture making and cabinetry, culinary and technical skills. They also assist youth with exploring all post secondary education options, including college and university, as well as local trades and craft apprenticeship programs that can lead to licensing or certification. “We are thrilled to have the longtime partnership with New Haven Youth &

Family Services,” said Wendy Neri, president of St. Germaine Children’s Charity. “We make a great effort to evaluate organizations before making a contribution. The work New Haven does everyday to help youth is directly in line with our mission of helping stop child abuse.” St. Germaine’s most recent contribution to New Haven was $7,855 for training all staff and students; $14,000 in 2014; $10,000 in 2013; and $14,380 in 2012. After the presentation, guests asked questions and viewed some of the pens and cutting boards made by the boys at New Haven. By evening’s end, all cutting boards ($25-$40 each), and pens ($25 each), were sold, and guests left in St. Germaine’s traditional Silver Bowl, a total of $890 to donate to New Haven. ■ ON THE WEB: • New Haven Youth & Family Services: newhavenyfs.org • St. Germaine Children’s Charity: stgermainechildrenscharity.org

Brushes & Beakers: La Jolla galleries host science night BY CHRIS SAUR earning about science, while often made enjoyable for kids, isn’t always the 21 and over crowd’s idea of fun. But on Wednesday, March 9 volunteers from the San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering — partnering with the San Diego Wet Lab and the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center — aimed to change that with the Brushes and Beakers event. Hosted by four La Jolla art galleries, the event featured nearly 20 local scientists volunteering their time to talk to the public about different disciplines. And, there was wine. “The goal of (Wednesday night) was to bridge the gap between the art world and the science world, and to get people excited about science,” said event organizer Andrea Decker, from the Fleet Science Center. “San Diego is a really big science town but San Diegans don’t always realize it. “We decided, why not have a fun night out, see some beautiful art, talk science … have a glass of wine and just enjoy a beautiful night in La Jolla.” Dozens of interested locals attended the event, talking neuroscience at the Legends Gallery, biology at the National Geographic Fine Art Gallery, marine biology at the Martin Lawrence Gallery and conservation at the Mangelsen Imges of Nature Gallery. Bridging the gap all by himself was Dan Cartamil, a marine biologist and photographer, who showed off his latest project at the Mangelsen Gallery. “We are doing a conservation photography project … and the idea is we are trying to document the diversity of habitats and also showcase the beauty and fragility of some of the really wild and remote places in Baja California,” said Cartamil, who works at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. Brushes and Beakers was one of seven events geared toward adults as part of the weeklong San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering, which began on March 5.

ASHLEY MACKIN
After her Food Network Holiday Baking Championship victory in December 2015, Maeve Rochford (left) and a Suger and Scribe employee celebrate the win, holding Irish flags.
RELIGION & spirituality La Jolla Presbyterian Church
Of the recognition, Rochford said, “It was like Christmas — it would have never occurred to me to win this because there are a lot of Irish people doing amazing things. To be put with that group is great.” With a fighting Irish spirit, the always outspoken Rochford said as the first American-born member of her family from County Sligo, she constantly sets out to prove she’s “as Irish as they are,” she said. Whether that be on television, when she repeatedly mentioned her Irish pride, or in her interactions with people. “When people think of the Irish, they think all Irish people are really nice, which is true, but what’s fun is we are all proud of our culture and we express that through storytelling, shared experiences and music,” she said. “It’s a much more artistic culture than people think. Ireland still has its own dancing, language, music and unique way of telling stories. When it comes to Irish performing, people only know of RiverDance, but we’re more than that.” As far as some of the negative notions about the Irish, Rochford is breaking the mold. “There is the obvious preconceived notion that all Irish people drink a lot, but I think that’s toned down and I don’t drink at all.” And when it comes to Irish food, she said, “people either think fish-and-chips and greasy pub food or something like haggis (which is actually Scottish),” she said. “A lot of people don’t know what Irish cuisine is. “Ireland has used farm-to-table cooking forever and has always been into eating locally. They produce the finest cheeses and cattle in the world, but a lot of people don’t know that. There is a lot in the culinary field that is amazing from Ireland. I hope I’m a good ambassador for that.” In 2014, the Irish Congress recognized two other Irish La Jollans for their efforts — Salvation Army volunteer Mary Johnson, and Scott Dodge, a 17-year member of the Irish Congress.

Agency has tips for keeping calm in crisis FROM HANDLE WITH CARE REPORTS In this time of great change and uncertainty, crisis situations seem to be growing at a rapid speed. The emotional turmoil and negative behavior that is on the rise — spanning from verbal abuse to physical assault — is requiring schools, hospitals, workplaces and businesses to intervene more often for the safety and protection of the students, staff and clients. Handle With Care (HWC), a crisis intervention training program, offers the following tips on how to respond when someone is becoming out of control, gleaned from its training seminars. HWC reports that there is a natural, but incorrect, tendency to respond to the person in conflict the same way as they are behaving. Many times people feel overwhelmed by the situation and experience emotions like anger and fear. When we exhibit these emotions, it increases rather than decreases the conflict and crisis around us. When dealing with an agitated person, child or student, we must control not only our verbal but non-verbal
communication as well. Step 1) Staff needs to be attuned to the signals of potential crisis behavior. Typically there is a change of behavior before physical aggression occurs, which includes: • Verbal clues: what is being said (e.g. insults or threats) • Non-verbal clues:
how something is being said (e.g. voice, volume, rate of speech and tone) • Body language: (e.g. body tenseness, leaning forward, pacing, finger pointing or hand clenching) Step 2) Those working with emotionally disturbed, aggressive or violent behavior need to be aware of and in control of their own
emotions and behaviors. It is their actions and words that can either reduce the potential for conflict or escalate it. Here are some key points to keep in mind when faced with an uncertain situation: • Remain calm and in control. • Only one person should speak at a time. • Respect personal
space. • Be aware not only of what you say, but how you say it. • Maintain natural eye contact and establish a direct line of communication. • In instances of team intervention, one person, the person with the best relationship, should be designated as the “talker.”
• Set limits; the limits should be clear, consistent and enforceable. • Of course, immediate action needs to be taken in dangerous and/or life threatening situations. Visit handlewithcare.com, for additional information on managing high stress situations.

Malashock Dance, Symphony unite for unique concert FROM SYMPHONY REPORTS Rhythm and dance are the inspiring forces behind San Diego Symphony’s “Music in Motion/Jacobs Masterworks” concert 8 p.m. March 18 and 19, and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 20 at Symphony Hall, under the direction of guest conductor David Danzmayr. The world premiere of “Five Scenes,” based on composer Gabriela Frank’s chamber works, was commissioned by the San Diego Symphony and will be performed by the Symphony with Malashock Dance. “The dance, which I call, ‘Walking a High Road,’ draws on Gabriela’s reference to a small, mostly abandoned Peruvian village she once visited, and my imagining of the ghosts one might encounter on a walk through its high mountain streets,” said John Malashock of the production. “Live music is the perfect collaboration for my choreography, and this blending of dance, striking new music and San Diego’s remarkable orchestra will make for a rich artistic experience.” Frank added, “From my first meeting with John Malashock, I was delighted to meet a kindred spirit whose beautiful artistry spoke to me so instantly. I loved making these orchestral arrangements of chamber music movements that John personally selected. I can’t wait to see how he has re-envisioned the music in dance.” Also on the program is internationally acclaimed harpist Yolanda Kondonassis, who will join the symphony performing Alberto Ginastera’s iconic Harp Concerto. Since its premiere in 1965, the concerto has acquired

Malashock Dance rehearses with San Diego Symphony for ‘Walking on a High Road.’ an almost cult status as the definitive harp concerto of the 20th century. With its pulsing Latin rhythms, virtuosic displays and creative use of many colors and special effects, the work has received numerous performances during the past several decades — more than 100 performed by Kondonassis. The grand finalé will be a performance of Igor Stravinsky’s “The Firebird” (1945
version). Scotland’s The Herald describes guest conductor Danzmayr as “extremely good, concise, clear, incisive and expressive.” He is widely regarded as one of the most talented and exciting European conductors of the younger generation. ■ IF YOU GO: Copley Symphony Hall is at 750 B Street in downtown San Diego. Tickets: $20-$96. (619) 235-0806.

‘Rain,’ a new musical, based on old favorite tale
BY DIANA SAENGER “Rain,” initially written by Somerset Maugham as the short story “Miss Thompson” in the 1920s, is the basis for The Old Globe Theatre’s upcoming musical “Rain,” directed by its artistic director Barry Edelstein. The story became a stage play in 1923 and was later developed into several films — the 1928 silent film “Sadie Thompson,” starring Gloria Swanson; “Rain” starring Joan Crawford in the 1932 production; and Rita Hayworth starring in “Miss Sadie Thompson” in the 1953 film. The story begins on an island in Samoa, where a missionary and a doctor and their wives are enjoying life until Sadie Thompson shows up on the island. They are horrified to learn how she makes her living. A ship is quarantined there and the rain begins. Composer and lyricist Michael John LaChiusa (“The Wild Party,” “Giant”) and book writer Sybille Pearson “(Giant”) collaborated on the latest script. LaChiusa said it’s been on his to-do bookshelf for a long time. “It’s a very intriguing story, and I liked it a lot. I thought this was a great story to tell and sing about,” he said. “We have opened up the story a little more and have added other characters.” The problem with the short story is that it’s short on content and plot,” LaChiusa said. We had to invent things to make it theatrical and that’s what my collaborator Sybille Pearson — whom I worked with on “Giant” — has done so effectively. But then we have to give the characters something to think about because it’s a musical. It’s been a

When Edelstein sat listening to LaChiusa playing the music at the piano he admitted that the music transported him, and called it a ‘tour de force.’ “I am very humbled by that comment,” LaChiusa said. “There are so many parallels between the structure of a Shakespeare play
and that of a musical. In great Shakespeare plays you have moments of comedy right before the serious monologues, and juxtaposition of the variety. Barry is well-versed in that and directed many Shakespeare plays, and coming to a musical for the first time is not that far of a stretch. It’s not really about the songs, but how we get from song to song and what happens in between them that makes it a good musical. And he understands that intuitively.” LaChiusa has garnered an Obie Award,
Gilman & Gonzalez-Falla Award, and 2008 and 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards in regard to his diverse abilities. Ready for yet another challenge, he agrees this story has a range of dark to light moments requiring just the right music. “I look for pieces that have a variety,” he said. “Having a really dark musical all the way through is not fun. It has to have levity to balance it as you would with a painting or sculpture; they need shadow, light and contrast. “This story allows it; especially in the way Sybille has adapted it. There are wonderfully funny moments and songs, because none of these characters know what inevitably will happen in the story. “However, the piece is about human behavior and how we struggle with our animal tendencies when the cloak is stripped off ... and how we maintain that balance, like we saw in ‘Of Human Bondage,’ and again in ‘Rain.’ It’s necessary for us to bloom and rebuild again. “And it is a job; especially for a composer/ writer to transport a person out of their normal environment, like from the streets of San Diego to Samoa, where it’s raining and there is a prostitute in the hotel next door. “If I can transport the audience and to there for an hour and a half through the music, the songs and the drama, then I’m doing my job as a writer.” ■ IF YOU GO: ‘“Rain,” March 24-May 1, 2016 on The Old Globe Theatre’s Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Original Deviled Eggs The Delightful Deviled Egg for Easter and Spring
D
eviled eggs have been a favorite on Easter brunch tables for generations. Last Easter I was asked to prepare these divine eggs for a pot luck gathering, and I even bought a fluted pastry tip to add a professional touch to the dish. I gingerly placed the platter on the table, and was soon taken aback when I noticed some of the pretty fluted yolks from a few eggs had been removed, leaving the hard-boiled white halves behind on the platter. Alas, I spotted one of the guests scooping out yet another yolk and discarding the soft white shell. I asked him why he was tinkering with my deviled egg beauties. He explained that he was allergic to egg whites and didn’t want them to go to waste, so removed the yolks, leaving the whites for people who were cholesterol-conscious. I guess you could say, “the devil made him do it.” Here’s a primer on how to get the most out of deviled eggs for Easter and always, including a low cholesterol version.
Full of the Devil
The modern-day deviled egg evolved from the culinary preparations of ancient Rome, where boiled eggs were dialed up with sassy sauces and condiments, including wines and
broths. Food folklorists trace the stuffed egg back to Andalusian cookbooks with recipes for mashing yolks with cilantro and onion juice, then blending with a fermented barley or fish sauce, and filling the egg white indentations. But the British lay a solid claim as any to the “deviled” vernacular referring to the hot and spicy add-ins to hard-boiled yolks, such as cayenne pepper and mustard, creating a fiery little red devil.
The Deviled Dozen
While deviled egg purists prepare a classic blend of yolks with mayonnaise, mustard and seasonings, here’s a dozen adventurous devils to spice up your spring table: 1. Bacon and Eggs: Add crumbled applewood smoked bacon bits to the traditional yolk blend. 2. Green Eggs and Ham: Mash in a ripe avocado with diced ham. 3. The Mediterranean: Blend chopped black olives, heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil or Italian parsley. 4. The French version: Swap out yellow mustard for Dijon, and add chopped chives or chervil (French parsley). 5. The Salsa Devil: Mix chopped cilantro, jalapenos, red onion and Roma
■ Ingredients: 12 eggs, boiled, peeled 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 1/2 teaspoons spicy mustard Pinch of paprika and more for garnish ■ Method: Cut eggs lengthwise and carefully remove yolks. Place yolks in a mixing bowl and blend in mayo and seasonings. Fill white hollows with yolk mixture using spoon or pastry bag with fluted tip. Sprinkle with paprika. — For additional egg recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com tomatoes into the yolk mixture. 6. The Crunchy Veggie: Combine diced celery, carrots, red peppers, jicama and radishes for a confetti of eye candy along with fiber and antioxidants. 7. The Double-stuffed Devil: Use yolks from one dozen eggs and only fill eight white halves. 8. The Low Cholesterol: This is a half-and-half mixture of chopped hard-boiled whites with yolks, and olive oil mayo. 9. A yen for Japanese-style: Blend in wasabi mustard instead of classic yellow, and top with orange fish roe. 10. The Crustacean Stuffed egg: Combine steamed and chopped shrimp, crab or lobster meat tossed in a piquant cocktail and mayonnaise sauce. 11. The Deli Devil: Add chopped dill pickles with spicy mustard.
12. The Caviar: Pile capers, minced red onion, sour cream and red or black salt-cured fish eggs in the egg indentation.
Hard-Boiling 101
• Eggs like Baby Bear’s porridge have to be boiled just right — long enough so the yolk is fully cooked, but not too long so the white is rubbery with a gray-ringed yolk. • Place a single layer of eggs at the bottom of a saucepan, cover with cold water, and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda so the eggs will peel with ease. Bring to a boil, turn off heat and cover. Let sit in the water for about 12 minutes. Rinse and cool. Tap ends of the egg against a hard surface, and peel under cool running water. Refrigerate in a covered container for up to four days. • Cook’s Tip: Fresh eggs are more difficult to peel than older ones, so buy a week out before boiling.

The Elderly and Varicose Veins: Added Risk, Simple Treatment One of the great complaints of aging is how the body slows down, either because of mobility issues or compromised circulation. Because of this decreased mobility, health issues can arise—for example, leg ulcers, which are especially problematic and can be debilitating in some cases. The cause of a leg ulcer is high pressure in the superficial leg veins for one of two reasons: 1, valve failure in these superficial veins, which we call varicose veins, or
2, damage to the deeper veins in the leg (often the result of deep vein thrombosis). An especially compromised part of the leg is just above the ankle, where the blood that’s being pushed back up the leg is at its lowest, and often its narrowest, point. While there are various theories as to why the high pressure causes skin damage, the general idea is that substances leak out of the vein and collect under the skin at the ankle, which causes inflammation and skin deterioration. Signs to look for If you’re concerned about a potential leg ulcer, check your skin for dryness over or near the anklebone, especially on the inside of your leg. This is a particularly vulnerable spot as there is no flesh between the skin and the bone to offer added protection. The dryness that appears can cause venous eczema, an itchy sensation (with some discoloration of the skin), referred to as haemosiderin deposition or
lipodermatosclerosis. Oftentimes, symptoms will be present for years before an actual ulcer develops. Treatment options The key is to treat this condition early on, which can reduce the chance of an ulcer. Vein ulcers are painful and debilitating, putting a person’s independence at risk as well. Waiting until an ulcer breaks out can take months or even years to heal, requiring ongoing special treatments and compression bandaging. There is even the risk that some ulcers will never heal in certain patients. Vein specialists can scan the leg veins to find any valve problems and decide the best approach to take. In prevention, most treatments include the usual outpatient, minimally-invasive therapy used for varicose and spider veins, either foam sclerotherapy or laser. Because both are done in the office, elderly patients don’t have to undergo the more serious general
anesthesia, which could compromise their health in a variety of ways. Prevention at any age As with all vein conditions, retaining (and maintaining) mobility is an essential part of leg health. While a workout routine may be difficult to keep up in more advanced age, it is important to pursue activities that can move the legs, either by low-paced walking, low-impact water aerobics, yoga, or other stretching poses that can stimulate circulation in the legs. And as always, consider compression stockings to help with that blood flow. If you’re at risk of a leg ulcer and want a consultation, or you’re ready to remove your spider or varicose veins, or if you just want more information on laser treatment or sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website at www. sdveininstitute.com.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mort-
lender may hold more than one mort gage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 033654-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the
the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (844) 477-7869.
