Bird Rock Council debates private security option BY ASHLEY MACKIN At the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting July 5 at La Jolla Masonic Lodge, the board and community members heard the pros and cons of contracting private security to help deter crime in the neighborhood. BRCC member Ron Fineman suggested National Public Safety (NPS) as a possible patrol firm, and introduced its director at a forum June 30 at Chase Bank in Bird Rock. Considered a “little brother” to the police, NPS would take the “low priority” calls San Diego Police Department does not have the manpower to respond to, such as suspicious persons in the area and car break-ins. If warranted, NPS would hand the case over to the police. In other neighborhoods where NPS has a presence, such as Ocean Beach, residents report faster response times to potential and actual problems than when they called San Diego Police. Understaffing of dispatch and call center officers has created citywide delays on the non-emergency line. Some residents believe having the presence of private security could discourage criminal activity before it occurs, and provide someone to approach or investigate suspicious persons, as an alternative to calling the police. But before the patrol gets SEE BIRD ROCK, A12

Summer concerts return to Scripps Park, July 17 BY ASHLEY MACKIN For 32 years on summer Sundays, the free La Jolla Concerts by the Sea series has provided a diverse soundtrack to picturesque family outings. Continuing the tradition, the 33rd annual eight-concert series kicks off 2 p.m. July 17 with Sue Palmer & her Motel Swing Orchestra in Scripps Park at La Jolla Cove, and continues 2-4 p.m. Sundays through Sept. 4. Drawing nearly 1,000 people per concert, emcee of 19 years Ron Jones said the shows are a “Wonderful pastiche of music from country to boogie woogie to oldies and beyond.” There’s even a platform for dancing. This year’s lineup includes: The Mighty Untouchables (rock ‘n’ roll) on July 24, Bill Magee Blues Band on July 31, The Kings of 88 (piano rock) on Aug. 7, Theo & The Zydeco Patrol on Aug. 14, The Hot Pursuit Band (classic
rock/variety hits) on Aug. 21, Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash (Americana) on Aug. 28 and The Heroes (rock ‘n’ roll) on Sept. 4. “It’s a great experience, so bring the family, especially the kids, for something they will never forget,” Jones said. “It’s an afternoon at the beach with incredible music. There are people who come here from out of town just for this, so we say when in La Jolla, make the concerts a stop on your schedule … and you can’t beat the price.” To get the most from each concert experience, Jones advises: “Wear sunscreen; bring a chair or something comfortable to sit on because its lounge time in the park; get there early to get that primo seat or you might end up behind someone’s umbrella; don’t bring the dogs; and if you bring a beverage, bring a plastic bottle. But it’s hard not to enjoy it, the concerts are two hours of solid entertainment.” SEE SUMMER CONCERTS, A7
REPORT IS IN! City handed sea lion expert’s findings ‘Develop strategies of how to best live with them.’ Town Council will discuss the issue, July 14 BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Light has learned that the extensive study on the sea lion population at La Jolla Cove by marine mammal expert Doyle Hanan, Ph.D., of Hanan & Associates, Inc. has been completed and submitted to the city, and will be distributed to the appropriate parties, including San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and the Department of Park & Rec. Contracted by the city in February 2015, the study is intended to “identify potential

Citing empirical data and observation, the 39-page study confirms that the sea lions at La Jolla Cove constitute a “problem,” and the city

can refer to the study when considering a solution. Based on their behavior and perceived habituation to humans, the study concludes, in part, “Continual harassment of California sea lions off haul-out areas may temporarily reduce California sea lion presence and may temporarily reduce their interactions in the La Jolla Cove area, but they are not likely to abandon the area. Considering that California sea lions are not likely to leave the La Jolla area, the city is in the position to develop strategies of how to best live with them and hopefully take advantage of their presence. “In recent years, California sea lions have SEE SEA LIONS REPORT, A26

Pottery Canyon: A Forgotten La Jolla Story Historical kiln deteriorates on private property adjacent to park
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Continuing to crumble on the bare slopes adjacent to Pottery Canyon Park, the 6-foot historical kiln that once produced the artisan pottery manufactured and sold in La Jolla, has raised the concern of residents and passersby who contacted La Jolla Light for an update on the situation. There was a time when the Rodriguez family ran a successful pottery business off Torrey Pines Road. The business and its owners are now dead, the property was sold, and the remaining historical artifact neglected by the
new owners. The deteriorating kiln, where pottery and roof and floor tiles baked from 1928 to the 1970s, can still be seen from the Pottery Canyon Trail off Torrey Pine Road, if you know what you’re looking for. Uncovered and partially blocked by the current tenant’s truck, the historical object sits in a sorry state. Heath Fox, executive director of the La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) explained that “it hasn’t been inspected up close by anyone that I’m aware of, but it appears from afar that it’s continuing to deteriorate, and so that’s a
Gracious, registered historic and absolutely one of the most endearing homes we have ever seen, this serene whitewater-view classic offers manicured gardens, open beam ceilings, custom hand painted hardwood floors, and a superb location within a stroll to La Jolla Shores Beach and both Village and LJ Shores fine shops & restaurants.

concern.” In 1976, Pottery Canyon Park was designated a historical site by the City of San Diego. Of all the structures registered in the designation, some on public land and some on private, the kiln is the only one that remains standing. “The pottery produced there is probably still in many old homes in La Jolla,” Fox said. “It was a significant early enterprise that was going on here, very unique, in regards to the type of commercial businesses at the time. It speaks to the history of this community. Mary, Star by the Sea Catholic Church and
the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club are among the buildings where the Rodriguez tiles can be found. Pat Dahlberg, former LJHS president who worked intensely to preserve the area, said that most Spanish-style buildings in San Diego were constructed with Rodriguez pottery. During its Tuesday, July 5 meeting, the LJHS Preservation Committee held a discussion on the issue. “We were trying to figure out what is the appropriate action to take, and we are trying to get a sense of what the current situation is,” said Chair Diane Kane.

Planners OK ‘sandwich board’ amendment Decision now goes to Lightner’s desk
BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) took a step toward allowing A-frame signs (aka sandwich boards) in the Village, when it narrowly voted to amend applicable regulations during its July 7 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. The vote indicates LJCPA support for striking a sentence found in the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance that reads: “In La Jolla, A-frame signs are not permitted.” The item next goes to City Council President Sherri Lightner. Hopeful that the action will decrease the number of pervasive and excessive sandwich boards popping up in the right-of-ways in the Village by providing a mechanism for enforcement, removing the exclusion subjects La Jolla to the same rules and regulations as the rest of the city. As it currently stands, the City of San Diego has a program known as the Public Right of Way (PROW) that allows a business to cheaply and easily apply for a permit to legally have a freestanding A-frame sign nearby, so long as it meets certain criteria. Except in La Jolla. “We are the only Business Improvement District (BID) that has a caveat that says you cannot have signs in the Village in the right-of-way,” explained La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association chair Claude-Anthony Marengo. “We want to take that sentence out, and make ourselves uniform with the rest of the
because La Jolla has different rules from what the city has, city enforcement became more complicated. “When we tried to make the city enforce the prohibition, the code enforcement officer said it was too much for them to take on (due to the number of businesses in violation and the lengthy process to notify them) and that because we wanted to have our rules and be different, we needed to enforce it,” Marengo said. “But as a Merchant’s Association, we don’t want to punish our merchants.” Although several stated their opposition to the presence of sandwich boards, a handful also stated concern that allowing and regulating them would “blow the barn door open” and could yield “unintended consequences.” Nevertheless, a motion to support the change in language passed 7-5-2.

Also up for discussion at the July 7 LJCPA meeting was this artwork, placed on the Kellogg Building in La Jolla Shores as part of the Murals of La Jolla program. BIDs in the city. That way, the city knows how to enforce it. We could provide an identifier, like a sticker, to show which ones are legally in conformance, that way when the city comes to do enforcement, they know what to look for.” According to the city’s PROW enhancement program guidelines, things to look for include: Only those businesses fronting on the PROW and located on the first floor may participate in this program; only one freestanding sign per business is allowed, and it must be located directly in front of the business it represents; the maximum footprint of a freestanding sign
shall be two feet by three feet, and the sign height measure between three feet and four feet. If La Jolla were in line with city guidelines, and sandwich boards had to adhere to the criteria, ones that are not in conformance would be easier to spot, and might not be such a daunting task for enforcement officers. Previous attempts to regulate the prohibited signage – whose ban was sanctioned by the defunct Promote La Jolla – were unsuccessful. When Promote La Jolla dissolved in 2011, there went any form of local enforcement. Further,

■ Shores Mural debated: For nearly an hour, LJCPA discussed and debated the mural that went up on the Kellogg Building at 2259 Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores as part of the Murals of La Jolla public art program. At issue was whether it conforms to La Jolla Shores’ Planned District Ordinance. Although LJCPA approved the Murals of La Jolla program, the question was raised whether that approval extends to La Jolla Shores, which has its own Permit Review Committee, community advisory association, Design Manual and Planned District Ordinance. An exchange about whether the community should see the art before it goes up, and whether that would make community advisory

groups “art critics” ensued, but because the Murals of La Jolla program places pieces on private property, the point is moot. Suggesting the Shores artwork is not even a mural, but a sign or “super-graphic,” LJCPA trustee Phil Merten said due to its Mexican theme and iconography, and its proximity to a Mexican restaurant, there could be a commercial benefit, and should therefore not be considered public art. As such, it would need to be examined under the Shores Planned District Ordinance section that pertains to signs in the commercial zone, including the limitations on size and color. Merten explained, “As I go through La Jolla, I see these murals (and find them to be) interesting pieces of art, they make you think about what you are looking at. But I don’t see any connection between those murals and business in the buildings on which the mural happens to be. But this mural … incorporates the theme of the Mexican restaurant. That
makes it a commercial sign; it is giving a presence to this small building where they sell tacos.” A motion that the piece should come down as the issue of a possible ordinance violation is investigated, failed. However, LJCPA trustee Ray Weiss opined that the mural is a form of artistic expression and therefore not subject to LJCPA approval. As such, he moved that “it is the opinion of LJCPA that the mural (at 2259 Avenida de la Playa) is a matter of non-commercial artistic self-expression and the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance does not apply.” His motion passed. ■ Shannon wins a seat: In the special election that preceded the meeting, for which three candidates ran for a two-year term on the LJCPA, John Shannon won the seat. He will be sworn in at the next meeting. —La Jolla Community Planning Association next meets 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 4 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

Survey out for input on desired Village of La Jolla businesses
T
o identify the types of businesses La Jollans want to see in the Village, a subcommittee of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) has created a survey for residents; everyone is invited to participate. The link can be found at bit.ly/lajollabizsurvey Feedback will be collected through Aug. 31 so the team — Elsie Arredondo, Brett Murphy and Ike Fazio — can report on their findings at the September LJVMA meeting. The group also staffed two locations to collect responses in-person — at the La Jolla Sports Club on Saturday, July 9 and La Jolla Open Aire Market on Sunday July 10. With the feedback, the team will create a marketing package and recruit businesses La Jollans want to patronize. “It’s important to know that we have been working hard on ideas to enhance our offerings to the merchants as well as fill the Village with vibrant businesses to increase the energy for tourist and residents,” Murphy said. “We think this survey will help us better understand what the locals want so we can use our expertise to attract and assist new businesses for a successful outcome.”

Sponsored by local businesses, organizations and music lovers, and supplemented by the San Diego Arts & Culture Commissions, concession sales and volunteers, each concert costs more than $2,500 to put together. Bullseye Kettle Corn and Hot Dogs partners with the event to offer hot dogs, fresh lemonade, kettle corn and shaved ice, with a portion of their proceeds going to support the concerts. Other concessions available for purchase include water, soda, chips, candy, ice cream bars and fruit popsicles. “We appreciate our sponsors and those who contribute, because we’re just a small bunch of volunteers who love what they do, and the payback is the attendance,” Jones said. To further fundraise, local business donate gifts that are raffled off at the end of each show. “It’s love fest every Sunday,” he added. Jones said he and Laura DeBell choose the talent each year from band submissions and annual favorites. “Sue Palmer is a crowd-pleaser; she loves what she does — and it shows — and her music is a lot of fun. But there has to be something for everyone. Our mission is to present music from across the spectrum for all palates.” Jones and DeBell submits their picks for approval to an independent non-profit board that directs the concerts.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS County urges San Diegans to ‘Fight the (mosquito) Bite’ San Diego County’s vector control program has already collected more batches of West Nile virus-infected mosquitoes by the second week of July than it did in all of 2015, it reports. Environmental health officials said the fact should remind people to keep their guard up and protect themselves from mosquitoes and the virus. Last year in the county, 44 people tested positive for West Nile virus and six died. Statewide, 753 people tested positive and 53 people died. County officials said the increased number of mosquito batches might be slightly higher because of a mosquito outbreak around the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon. There is no human vaccine for West Nile virus, so people are advised to follow these three steps: 1) Prevent mosquito breeding sites by weekly dumping out and cleaning containers that hold water inside and outside homes. Fill plant saucers with sand or fine gravel so water won’t form pools where mosquitoes can breed. 2) Protect yourself from mosquito bites by wearing long sleeves and pants when outdoors. Use insect repellent, preferably one containing DEET. Make sure the screens on windows and doors do not have holes or tears, and are secured to keep insects out. 3) Report if you are being bitten by mosquitoes during daylight hours, or if you find mosquitoes that match the description of the yellow-fever mosquito or Asian tiger mosquito, by calling (858) 694-2888 or e-mailing vector@sdcounty.ca.gov — County Reports
Malfunctioning fireworks stopped the Cove show San Diego’s fire marshal is asking the State of California
to investigate a brand of fireworks after a “catastrophic malfunction” at the La Jolla Cove July 4th fireworks show. The public was not in danger, but the five people operating the fireworks show narrowly avoided injury and the show was stopped several times. San Diego will take to the State Fire Marshal the issue that the cardboard on the bottom of that particular firework may not be strong enough to take the pressure of the lifting shell, making it go horizontal instead of the intended vertical. — NBC San Diego

GDC Construction: 4th generation La Jolla builders BY DAVID L. CODDON For a vivid glimpse into La Jolla history, look no further than the timeline on GDC Construction’s website (gdcconstruction.com). It tells the story of four generations of Dewhursts – Ernie, Walter, George and Pancho – but it also reflects in words and black-and-white photos the evolution of La Jolla from the 1930s to today. Pancho Dewhurst joined the venerable construction firm in 2001 under his father, George, and began running the company full time in 2008. He’s La Jolla born and raised, a graduate of All Hallows Academy and La Jolla High School, old enough to be nostalgic about the bygone Cove Theater, but young enough to be at the forefront of a dynamic business that continues to shape the look and fabric of the community he loves. GDC’s focus is, according to Dewhurst, about 90 percent custom residential and 10 percent commercial. Projects are managed from pre-construction, through the
building process, to post-construction. A healthy part of Dewhurst’s responsibilities includes nurturing business relations with architects and interior designers, and working with individual project contractors, some of whom worked with GDC when Dewhurst’s father and even grandfather was in charge. “We have a strong core group that has been working for my family for some time,” Dewhurst said. “You build a relationship and trust with them.” The majority of GDC’s clients are in La Jolla, but the company has built homes from Point Loma to Carlsbad. That keeps Dewhurst on the move. “I try to go to all the sites weekly and have discussions with the superintendents and the clients,” he said. In addition to its homebuilding, GDC’s contribution to the community can be seen in projects that both serve and inspire La Jollans. Dewhurst’s grandfather, Walter, built the Mount Soledad Cross in 1954, and the firm
Pancho Dewhurst constructed the National Veterans Memorial around the cross in 2001, under the supervision of Dewhurst’s father. Other GDC community projects have included
COURTESY
the restoration of La Jolla Firehouse 13, the construction of the La Jolla Community Center on La Jolla Boulevard and the flagpole at Dewhurst’s alma mater, La Jolla
High. The Dewhurst family also has a remarkable history with the annual La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival dating back to its beginnings nearly 60 years ago. La Jolla’s heritage, and Pancho Dewhurst’s personal heritage, are intertwined with his life and his business. “I take a lot of pride in it and am proud to be able to continue the legacy,” said Dewhurst, who says “I hear stories all the time about how this was done by my great-grandfather or this was done by my grandfather. It’s neat.” While his father George has retired and he’s in charge, Dewhurst knows he can still count on the man who passed him the torch. “If I run into an issue or something happens, he’s always there for me.” GDC Construction, 1031 Silverado St., is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Tastes of South Africa pop up in La Jolla
The meat at Jonty Jacobs is available in two cuts, traditional (with fat) or lean.
BY DAVID L. CODDON Camran St. Luce and his wife Monique, who’s from Capetown, have brought a taste of South Africa to La Jolla. It’s called Biltong. What’s Biltong, you ask? It’s a cured, dried meat, the origins of which can be traced back to indigenous African people. The website The Biltong Man recounts that Dutch settlers named this meat — “bil” meaning “butt,” and “tong” meaning “strips.” Some foodies liken Biltong to jerky. But Camran St. Luce, who with Monique opened their Prospect Street store called Jonty Jacobs last fall, scoffs at the comparison. “It’s not like jerky,” he said. “It’s more like having steak. Biltong has more protein than beef jerky. It’s low in carbs. You can eat it in many different ways. It goes great with beer, wine, cheese. If you’re going camping, hiking, fishing, you can use it for that as well.” After initially selling Biltong online, the St. Luces opened their first Jonty Jacobs store in New York City in 2013. Camran recalls the reception from customers as “out of control.” People from all over the country, particularly those of South African heritage, flocked to the shop in the West Village. La Jolla is the St. Luce’s second Jonty Jacobs location. “There are over 25,000 South Africans living in San Diego,” Camran said, creating what he hopes will be a hunger for Biltong. The meat is available in two cuts, traditional (with fat) or lean. It can be served, Camran said, on a platter with cheese or put in salads or in egg dishes. “It’s really about how you want to eat it. It’s tender, all natural, no preservatives, no chemicals. It’s gluten-free. We use grass-fed beef that we get from New Zealand.” So you get the idea: this is not your Uncle Henry’s beef jerky. Besides Biltong, Jonty Jacobs sells the popular Droewors, a spicy sausage. “We also sell other South African snacks,” said Camran, “like chips and spices and chocolates. We have drinks, too. It’s all South African products. Nothing like you’ll find in

Biltong has more protein than beef jerky and it’s low in carbs. your regular grocery store.” The St. Luces, whose business is self-funded with no outside investors, reside in New York, site of their first store, but Camran’s been in La Jolla getting this shop going. “It’s happening slowly, but it’s happening,” he said of the Prospect Street location. “The word’s getting around. People have been coming into the store and they’ve been loving my Biltong. Between now and the end of the year we’ll definitely be in full swing. A lot more people will know about us.” It’s not merely the number of South Africans residing in San Diego that buoys Camran St. Luce’s optimism. “Americans are well traveled, so a lot of people who’ve been to South Africa come back and they know about Biltong. I think once Biltong gets to the right platform and into the right hands, you can say bye-bye to jerky.” Jonty Jacobs, 1237 Prospect St., Suite V. Open noon to 4 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

boots on the ground, residents would need to establish a funding mechanism and determine who would run it. The Bird Rock Neighborhood Watch chair said she tried to launch a private security patrol 10 years ago, and came upon several roadblocks. “There are people who might want to pay, but how do you determine where (private security) would go in the neighborhood, and how much time do they spend on each block?” she posed. “If you have five people on your block that paid for the service, but I only have one person on my block, do I get less observation than you? And what if the block in-between doesn’t pay? They still get the benefit of the presence of private security. It’s not something I’m against, but it’s not something I can participate in.” She added that the BRCC could not be the organization managing the funds that would pay for the services, because BRCC manages the Maintenance Assessment District and there would be a conflict. Member Greg Wadsworth noted, “It is conceivable to think that there could be a group of impacted residents that would be

With a small group forming to get things started and fine-tune the details of patrol and costs, the issue will return to the BRCC at its Sept. 6 meeting, location TBD.

FROM POTTERY CANYON, A3 For Fox, the best solution would be to move the kiln to the public land of the Pottery Canyon Park where it can be preserved by the city. However, this idea found opposition from archeologist Ron May, who brought up the fact that the whole area might be contaminated by lead and other metals. Two years ago, the city started a remediation job that consisted of filling the lead-contaminated areas in the public park with new soil. May said he fears that the contamination found then will also be present inside the kiln and around it. “The problem is that the people who operated the kiln and made pottery for sale back in the 1930s and ’40s used a lead oxide to glaze the pottery and make it waterproof. The lead oxide itself is generally not dangerous until it makes contact with something that’s acidic. Then, it breaks down. For example, if you have a lead bowl and you put a tomato paste-type food inside, that makes it dangerous. You don’t want to eat food cooked on lead-glazed pottery. “But the other problem is that the kiln itself is where they cooked the pottery pieces with the lead oxide … The lead oxide also went up into a chemical form, a gas if you will, into the bricks in the kiln, and the structure of the kiln itself is permeated with the lead oxide.” May explained that the heavy kiln cannot be moved as a whole, it would have to be broken down to the bricks to be transported, risking the lead oxide to become airborne and dangerous for the people working on the site. “The best thing you can do for a lead-contaminated kiln is leave it in place,

But if you treat it like the city did with their (other contaminated areas), burying it, there’s nothing for anybody to see, so no one really benefits from this at all.” For May, the solution involves building a replica of the kiln on the public park, “so at least people can see what it looked like … It’s a city historical landmark and the whole park is named after the pottery industry that was there. People go to that park because it was Pottery Canyon, where the pottery was made.” However, Fox stated that if the appropriate funding was found, he would like to see a team of experts deconstruct the kiln and move it to public land “in a manner that it can be appreciated by the public who use the park.” If the kiln was to be moved, May suggested

having a professional architect and photographer document the process. He said, “Part of the plan would be to get someone to test the bricks to see if there’s lead contamination in them, if there’s not, it makes the whole project a lot easier.” The Historical Society recently communicated its concerns about the deterioration of the kiln to the City of San Diego. “We got a response from the Code Enforcement Department, saying they have a working case on it, but they didn’t provide us with any details,” Fox said. The latest update from City officials states that a close-up inspection of the kiln is underway prior to submitting a report to the City Attorney. “We would like to inspect prior to determining our course of action and also to get a good up-close look at the condition of the historic resource,” wrote a
City employee on an email to the LJHS Preservation Comittee. However, when La Jolla Light contacted the city to obtain more information on the case, a communications officer wrote in an e-mail that, “Development Services Code Enforcement Division is not aware of any coordination with Historical Resources or City Attorney.” City staff also said that the responsibility for maintaining the kiln lies with the owner of the property. The Light has unsuccesfully tried to contact the current tenant and owner of the property. — Coming next week in La Jolla Light: A look at La Jolla Canyon Clay Products Company and how its historical patrimony has almost disappeared.

Voted Best in the La Jolla Light Readers Poll 10 Years Schedule a Complimentary Consultation Today.
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The number of unsheltered homeless people that the most recent Point in Time Count (PITC) found in La Jolla doubled in 2016 from the previous year, from 20 to 41. On Jan. 29, 1,676 volunteers organized by the Regional Task Force on the Homeless covered 4,000 square miles of San Diego County to provide a snapshot of homelessness on a given night for communities, service providers and policymakers. In San Diego County, 8,692 people were found homeless, 1 percent less than last year. However, the count includes a tally of the sheltered and unsheltered people. The unsheltered increased 18.9 percent from 4,156 individuals in 2015 to 4,940 in 2016. Other cities in San Diego County also saw a rapid increase in their unsheltered homeless population. In Escondido, it more than doubled (112 in 2015 to 225 in 2016), in Oceanside it went from 137 in 2015 to 292 in 2016, and in Santee, from 30 to 63. Encinitas experienced a decrease (18 percent less), as did Imperial Beach (46 in 2015 to 12 in 2016.) In Lemon Grove, the amount of unsheltered homeless people remained relatively flat, as it did in the City of San Diego as a whole. San Diego is in the process of moving the focus of its attention on homeless people from transitional housing to Housing First, the federal program that prioritizes providing people experiencing homelessness with permanent housing as quickly as possible. Ruth Eruland, Chief Program Manager at Father Joe’s Villages said this has caused the unsheltered homeless population to increase. “Housing First is such a great concept, to move people very quickly from the street
into apartments, but it’s not new dollars. The dollars that used to go into transitional housing now are going into Housing First. That means there’s no money for transitional housing,” she said, forcing more people to sleep on the streets. Eruland explained that the high price of San Diego’s housing rental market is another factor. “As homeless services providers, every single night our beds are at full capacity, and our movement to permanent housing isn’t as fast as we would like it to be because of the competition.” La Jolla resident Andrew Arroyo is the founder of Eye of a Needle Foundation, a non-profit that partners with other organizations to offer homeless people services. “Living in La Jolla, I have a special place in my heart for the homeless people here, and many of them I’ve tried to get to know and understand their situations and walk with them. I try to help them check into the rescue mission or get help if they’re on drugs or alcohol,” he said. Arroyo explained that in La Jolla, the increase in unsheltered homeless people is due to the proximity of the Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare services at 3350 La Jolla Village Drive. “A significant part of the homeless population I’ve met in La Jolla are Vets. This is heart wrenching to know that men and women who have fought for our country are now living on the streets of San Diego.” He also identified panhandling as a possible reason for the homeless population rise. Arroyo concluded, “With the amount of traffic going in and out of La Jolla daily, it is a prime location for panhandling, especially since many La Jollans are generous and give frequently to those in need.”

Joe La Cava hired to help expedite the proposed MAD
For a schedule of San Diego Blood Bank donor events and blood drives, visit sandiegobloodbank.org
FROM LA JOLLA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION REPORTS Long-time community activist Joe LaCava has been retained by the La Jolla Community Foundation to assist in the final steps for securing approval of the La Jolla Maintenance Assessment District (MAD). “Given Joe’s experience as co-founder and manager of the Bird Rock MAD, he is the right person at the right time to coordinate our efforts to achieve consent,” said Phyllis Pfeiffer, chair of the Foundation. LaCava will work closely with Enhance La Jolla steering committee chair Mark Dibella and board chair Bill Tribolet. He will also synchronize efforts with consultants Civitas and MJE Marketing, whose fees have also been underwritten by the La Jolla Community Foundation, so that Enhance La Jolla will not owe money to the City of San Diego for the formation of the MAD. Enhance La Jolla is an organization dedicated
The San Diego Blood Bank and AABB (America’s Blood Centers) have issued a critical appeal for blood and platelet donors across the country. With the nation’s blood supply facing significantly low inventory levels, individuals are encouraged to schedule an appointment to donate today. “We’re asking our community to help replenish our blood supply back to a safe level,” said San Diego Blood Bank CEO, David Wellis. “This summer is a particularly difficult challenge. Supplies are low and the advent of Zika has worsened the challenge. There is no substitute for blood — donations are critically needed.” Summer is always a challenging time for blood centers to ensure an adequate blood supply due to donors taking vacations and schools being out of session. Despite the season, the need for blood remains constant and patients continue to depend on the generosity of blood donors to meet that need. All blood types are needed. “Maintaining a safe and adequate blood supply is critical to the nation’s public health and a priority for the medical community,” said Miriam Markowitz, CEO of AABB. “Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. It is indispensable and required in the treatment of millions of patients, including individuals with cancer and other life-threatening diseases, patients undergoing organ transplants and trauma victims.” To be eligible to donate blood, one must be at least 17 years old (15 and 16 year olds may donate with parental consent), weigh at least 114 pounds and be in good health. To schedule an appointment, visit sandiegobloodbank.org or call 1 (800) 469-7322.
to the maintenance and physical improvement of the Village of La Jolla. Currently being established as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, Enhance La Jolla will be managed by La Jolla property owners and other community stakeholders to ensure the Village remains the jewel of San Diego. “I am excited to be joining this effort as we take the last remaining steps to form the La Jolla MAD,” LaCava told La Jolla Light. “Once underway, this will not only bring the transformational changes that we saw in Bird Rock, but it will also build community as institutions, commercial property owners, and residents work together for the betterment of the Village.” The La Jolla Community Foundation, an affiliate of the San Diego Foundation, was established in 2009 to enhance the aesthetic character of the community through funding of public art, landscape and architectural improvements.

Since when is it called ‘Casa Beach’? As a native San Diegan who was born in La Jolla and who swam in the Children’s Pool as a child, I was amused when I saw it was now referred to as the Casa Beach in a recent front-page article in La Jolla Light. Is this because the seals are taking over and the Children’s Pool has become a tourist attraction no longer fit (for children) to swim in due to the seals? Poor Ellen B. Scripps, who donated the money to build the pool so the children of La Jolla would have a safe beach for swimming in the Village, she must be spinning in her grave. Fred Livingstone
Structure in violation of many codes The structure on Avenida Mañana in La Jolla still stands in violation of the city codes. The Code Enforcement department seems to be allowing the “artist” to do what he wants, when he wants. He is a businessman first and artist second. Signs are posted on his property advertising his art lessons using oils and acrylic paints for all ages. Code Enforcement needs to see his business license allowing him to run a commercial business in a residential area. Since articles are sold from his yard, where is his re-sale business license? Since the studio is not permitted, the question of health and safety arises. Is the studio structurally sound and how are paint vapors taken care of? What about ADA requirements and the parking requirements? Cindy Anderson

National Ice Cream Day: July 17
Bobboi gelato has classic and creative flavors BY ASHLEY MACKIN Looking for a tasty way to celebrate National Ice Cream Day this Sunday? Opened in February 2014, Bobboi (which is an expression of joy in Italy) Natural Gelato sits nestled above La Jolla Cove at 8008 Girard Ave. Its flavors change with the seasons, and owner Andrea Racca said he is always willing to experiment. “We have a base of classic flavors, but we also look for the best ingredients and what is in season and use that to inspire our flavor combinations. We experiment a lot and we’ve tried things that sounded good but were just terrible,” he said. “(One of our success stories is our) goat cheese and grape gelato. It’s a classic savory combination to eat goat cheese and wash your palate with the grapes, so I thought we would try it in a gelato. You’d think that would be a disaster, but it’s perfect and people love it.” Another savory combination this summer is tomato and basil. “That was my wife’s idea, some people like it, others not so much. It’s about a person’s individual taste,” Racca said. Even the popular mocha flavor (coffee and chocolate with chocolate chips) came by experimentation. “We were trying to make a stracciatella, which is vanilla and chocolate chips, but we made it wrong and didn’t want to throw it away, so we tried it, and people

Andrea Racca, owner of Bobboi Natural Gelato in his shop at 8008 Girard Ave. liked it,” he said. A unique offering at Bobboi is vanilla and charcoal. Yep, charcoal. “It’s very popular, and I haven’t seen it anywhere else,” Racca said. “We make
vanilla with this infusion of charcoal that creates this beautiful gray color. It’s food grade and a great detoxifier.” He explained that he got the idea from a terrifying incident that occurred when his son was young. “He got into a cabinet left open and drank cold medicine. When we took him to the hospital, they treated him with charcoal because it’s good at removing toxins.” This summer, however, it’s all about fruit, Racca said. “We ordered mini watermelons, which are super rich in flavor, and we should have that this week. We also have a new flavor called the Tropicana. We use little, yellow, sweet mangoes from Mexico, pineapple and banana, and instead of water, we use coconut water. It works.” Leading up to the sit down with La Jolla Light, Racca asked a table of outgoing patrons what they thought, and the Tropicana seemed to be a hit, with one customer using the word “addicting.” But for those who prefer single-flavor classics, like Racca, there are plenty of choices. “Pistachio, just pistachio, is my favorite. It’s a classic,” he said. But when doling out his go-to gelato, he has to remind people that pistachio ice cream is not always green. “It’s actually a shade of brown or beige, with flecks of green in it,” he explained. Other top choices include mango and dark chocolate sorbet.

A native of Italy, Racca said his eatery offers small sizes with the Italian philosophy, “poco a poco,” which means “little by little.” “If you only have a little bit, you can have it every day,” he said. A USD graduate, Racca attributes his return to San Diego, and his business, to fate. “My business partner and I were in corporate finance and we just didn’t like what we were doing. I told him I wanted to come back to San Diego and start a gelato business and he said he had been thinking the same thing. We toured around to see where we could open. I arrived here in May 2013, and the day I was here, a sign went up indicating this place was for lease.”

■ Acquavite Ristorante: Tucked away on the corner of Coast Boulevard and Prospect Street, Acquavite Ristorante will serve homemade pasta, fresh ravioli, risotto and a unique selection of wines. The restaurant was developed by chef Filippo Piccini, who hails from Tuscany, and managing partner Nicola Balsemin. “Chef Filippo and I met in Los Angeles and we were both looking for a place to open in Southern California. After we checked out many places, none of them was good enough to open a ‘little piece of Italy,’ ” Balsemin explained. But then they found La Jolla. “The first time we saw the place, we literally fell in love with it. The location and the view of the ocean remind us very much of Italy.” Staying true to their Italian roots, all the dishes will be made from scratch. Balsemin boasts that the soups are made daily, especially the lobster bisque, which is fashioned from freshly made broth and real lobster meat; along with the focaccia bread and even the butter. Of signature dishes, Balsemin recommends the fettuccine allo zafferano (garlic infused shrimps, creamy saffron sauce, fresh fettuccine, Italian squash, sliced almonds) and the filetto al camino (10-ounce double
cut, grass fed, all-natural Angus filet mignon, bread crust, burning herb nest). The name Acquavite was inspired by an Italian distillate made out of grapes, usually enjoyed at the end of the meal as a digestive.

(858) 263-4614. siciliabella.net ■ Isola pizza bar: With a planned opening in the middle of July (permits allowing), Isola pizza bar sits at 7734 Girard Ave. The La Jolla location is a sister spot to the Little Italy pizzeria of the same name. Chef and owner Massimo Tenino said what makes the place different is its wood-burning oven — and what they cook in it. “We do wood-fired pizzas, but something we learned at the Little Italy location is to make other dishes in the oven, like steaks
and baked pastas,” he said. With a full kitchen, Isola will have a menu of rotating pastas and entrees, along with Italian appetizers and of course, pizza. “It won’t be a huge menu, just a few simple items, made with good ingredients,” Tenino said. All the pasta will be made in-house and whenever possible, ingredients will be locally sourced. The eight beers on tap will also be local. The wine, on the other hand, will be Italian. “My family owns a highly rated winery, so all the wine we have now is from my brother’s winery,” he said. “We might add a few other labels from places north of Santa Barbara, but for now, it’s strictly Italian.” Further keeping things in the family, Isola was Tenino’s grandmother’s name. As for why he chose La Jolla, Tenino said, “It reminds me of Italy and the Mediterranean, with the hills and the rocky shore. It’s a great community with a changing restaurant scene, I felt this was a good time and a good place to open.” Isola hours will be determined once it opens. More at isolapizzabar.com
Poke on the go on Pearl Street One of the few new eateries not bearing an Italian influence, Poke Go at 510 Pearl St., specializes in the Hawaiian raw fish dish, poke. Open since late June next to Yogi Top at the corner of Pearl Street and La Jolla Boulevard, Poke Go customers are invited to
create their own custom Poke dish. Start with a base of white rice, brown rice or salad, then choose a type of fish and seasoning to top it. Options include raw ahi tuna and salmon, and cooked octopus and shrimp. One of four locations now open (a fifth is planned for Pacific Beach), Poke Go was the first restaurant in San Diego to specialize in Poke. Comparable to sushi in its raw fish and rice components, Poke Go offers bowls, plates and platters. “If you like sushi, you’ll probably like poke,” jokes co-owner Chris Park. “But sushi has been around for decades and some people get a little tired of it … they want something different.” Plus, he said, the value is there, because the smallest bowl uses the amount of fish often found on two sushi rolls, and bowls start at $7.75. Poke Go is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday. (858) 412-5258. pokesd.com

La Jolla’s Sea Lion ‘Crisis’ Timeline
■ May 28, 2013: Responding to citizens requests to reduce the noxious odors in the Village emanating from The Cove (which at this time everyone believes is due to cormorant and sea lion guano), Mayor Bob Filner announces that the city hired Blue Eagle Distribution to clean the excrement from the rocks. The Blue Eagle product contains seven, lab-cultured microbes that feed on the waste, leaving only a chalky substance behind. “The biggest risk we have in the siutation is the sea lions moving higher up on the rocks, being more of an impediment,” said Keith Merkel, biologist. A second phase starts Sept. 24.
■ January 2014: In another effort to reduce the noxious odors from The Cove, now believed to be primarily due to sea lion waste on the bluffs, a gate goes into the railing to allow pedestrian access. The intent is have more human presence diminish the number of sea lions on the rarely-rinsed rocks, and encourage the pinnipeds to spend more time in the water and on lower ocean-rinsed rocks. ■ February 2015: The City of San Diego hires pinniped expert Doyle Hanan of Hanan and Associates, Inc., to evaluate and propose a solution to the situation. More than $24,000 is set aside so Hanan can, “study and identity potential opportunities for changing the behavior or haul-out conditions of the sea lion colony now expanding along the La Jolla coastline,” and file a report with the city. The results have been considered “pending” ever since. ■ March 2015: A 5-year-old boy is bitten by a sea lion at La Jolla Cove. The boy’s father reportedly lets him approach a group of sea lions to pet one, when an adult sea lion turns and bites the child on the cheek. The boy’s father declines medical coverage, but later takes him to the hospital.
■ March 27, 2015: A Superior Court judge rejects claims against the City of San Diego contained in a lawsuit filed by La Jolla business owners and citizens who sued the city for public officials’ failure to rid La Jolla Cove of its pervasive odor from bird and marine mammal waste. Confirming his previous tentative ruling, Judge Timothy Taylor granted the city’s motion for summary judgment in the lawsuit filed two years ago by Citizens for Odor Nuisance Abatement (CONA). Its pro-bono lawyer, Norm Blumenthal plans to appeal the decision. ■ April 2015: La Jolla Town Council hosts its first sea lion forum to get a better understanding of the biology and behavior of the animals, and meet with the CONA, a group of Village business owners suing the city for failure to act on the pervasive stench. ■ Mid April 2015: La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group gives the city until May 30 to address growing concerns. Calling it “an emergency waiting to happen,” the board presses the city to install some sort of mechanism to keep sea lions from moving off the beach; conduct regular cleanups of the stairs, deck and walkway areas; and institute a monitoring program of beach inspection and sand cleaning.
■ July 2015: San Diego Park & Recreation director Herman Parker responds to La Jolla Parks & Beaches request with a letter explaining how the listed concerns were being addressed. Among his comments, “The city has engaged Doyle A. Hanan, Ph.D. of Hanan and Associates, Inc., to monitor the sea lion population at The Cove area. Based on this ongoing work, the city will look for opportunities to address issues that may arise from the sea lion population. Additionally, funding was allocated in the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget to begin work to develop a coastal marine life management plan for the area that will address the interaction of people,
animal and marine life in the area. The activity of sea lions will be part of that plan.”
■ January 2016: Then La Jolla Town Council President Steve Haskins announces at La Jolla Community Center, a rolling barrier plan to keep the sea lions off the bluffs. The proposal calls for the installation of metal cables across key access points along the bluffs with rolling plastic cylinders to keep the sea lions from gaining enough traction to climb onto the rocks. Their alternative would be to rest on the lower rocks, which are washed by the tides. (Note: Since then, sea lions increasingly haul-out on the beach at La Jolla Cove, quickly making it their habit to rest on the sand, rocks, stairs and benches.) ■ March 2016: La Jolla Town Council hands over the rolling barrier plans to Mayor Kevin Faulconer. His office reports it will need to wait for the results of Hanan’s report to see if the barrier proposal is feasible. ■ May 2016: The San Diego County Department of Public Health posts Water Quality Advisory signs at The Cove, cautioning swimmers to enter at their own risk. The signs read: “Warning! Contact with this water may cause illness. Bacteria levels exceed health standards.” ■ May 31, 2016: Due to the bacteria contamination in Cove waters, La Jolla Cove Swim Club announces it will cancel the 100th anniversary of its annual Rough Water Swim, set for September. ■ June 1, 2016: La Jolla Light learns from Alex Bell of the county communications department that, “the most recent water quality advisory was lifted in late May, and that is when the swim advisory signs were removed. The county tests the water regularly, and found that enough samples meet state health standards.” — Compiled by Ashley Mackin and Susan DeMaggio
FROM SEA LIONS REPORT, A1 expanded use of the rocky terraces and beaches at La Jolla Cove resulting in increased interaction with the public and significant animal waste build up. The accumulation of animal waste in close proximity to urbanized and frequently used space raises concerns for public health and welfare, and for the safety of people and wild animals in close proximity to one another.” It continues, “Hanan & Associates, Inc. performed California sea lion counts and enumeration by age and sex in the La Jolla Cove area during the period March 11, 2015 to March 19, 2016. Behavioral observations were made at all hours of the day and night. On the United States West Coast, these pinnipeds are abundant and not listed as endangered or threatened, and as a result, the population is expanding and occupying new territory. This expansion has increased interactions with people and property. ... California sea lions haul out and occupy at least 10 different areas in and around La Jolla Cove near San Diego, California. They haul out year round and at all times of day and night in locations that are heavily utilized by the La Jolla community, visitors and tourists.” The observation of nine areas along La Jolla Cove provided quantitative data on the number of sea lions and their behavior at different times of day and throughout the year. The study also looked at possible problems with humans interacting with sea lions, and options for further research opportunities.
ASHLEY MACKIN
The Hanan & Associates study includes reports of people being bitten by sea lions when they get too close for the pinnipeds’ comfort at La Jolla Cove. Among the observations, the study found several concerns with human/sea lion interactions and the two-fold problem of people wanting to use the beach where the sea lions haul out, but also wanting to see wild animals in their natural environment. It also noted that sea lions have migrated up the stairs at La Jolla Cove to the park and sidewalk area, causing problems therein. Community groups have waited with bated breath for the report, as many were told the city could take no action on the
problematic pinniped population and the resulting Cove stench until the report was filed. For example, when the Town Council sea lion committee proposed its rolling barrier plan (stringing plastic cylinders across The Cove to keep the sea lions from hauling out on the cliffs) and when La Jolla Parks & Beaches demanded action citing the burgeoning sea lion presence as a health and safety issue, both were told the city was awaiting the study before taking any action. In June, facing a growing frustration from
residents, Village businesses and Cove swimmers (a health advisory was posted at The Cove in May due to high levels of bacteria in the water), La Jolla Town Council held it’s first “Crisis at the Cove” forum to examine the problem. However, they too, were told the city was awaiting review of the study before taking or approving any course of action. Of the Town Council’s proposed barrier plan, Hanan’s findings suggest, “(The barriers) would require a good deal of maintenance, would be highly subject to large surf action, would not blend with the environment, and likely would require California Coastal Commission approval and perhaps a California Environmental Quality Act environment report. After careful consideration, I believe that California sea lions would find ways to go around them if positioned and used as proposed.” The study’s options for moving and/or excluding the sea lions from certain areas explored include setting up an ongoing program or selection of a firm to assist in the use of NOAA-approved deterrence methods — the installation of gates and latches at the base of each cement stairway to/from the La Jolla Cove beach and/or low voltage livestock fencing or other form of fencing. Conversely, as part of a city opportunity to “take advantage of (the sea lions) presence,” the study also states, “Perhaps setting up interpretive learning centers at La Jolla Cove and Children’s Pool, which already are large tourist attractions, would add to the city’s allure as an ecotourism location.”

Haley Gibson, The Bishop’s School student, plays for Wave beach volleyball team in Del Mar.
How to be Queen of the Beach Student loves playing volleyball in the sand
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Bishop’s School student Haley Gibson has found in beach volleyball her passion, her dream and her way into college. The 16-year-old, who will be a junior next year, has committed to play in the Tulane University (New Orleans) sand program when she moves on to higher education. Gibson said she started playing beach volleyball at age 12 with her parents. She used to play for a local indoor volleyball team, but switched to the sand version. “I like beach (volleyball) better because there’s only two people in the court and you can’t get subbed out, and it’s really on you. You have to know how to pass, to set, to hit. It’s not I’m an outside hitter and I only know how to hit,” she said. Beach volleyball is played in teams of two people. The rules of the game vary slightly from the indoor version, where there are six players on a team. The outdoor field is smaller (52 feet by 26 feet, rather than 59 feet by 25 feet), the game unfolds in three sets up to 21 points, and the softer surface allows barefoot players and vigorous hassles. Gibson recently participated in the Queen of the Beach Invitational tournament, June 25-26, in Hermosa Beach. Organizer Eric Fonoimana, who also coaches Gibson on Saturdays, said though she didn’t perform as well as he expected, “She’s got a great feel for the game. She’s a good passer. She hassles, and that’s a big thing in beach volleyball, not letting the ball drop without effort.” The Queen of the Beach tournament format, popular in the late 20th century, switches members of a team after every match. “You get a pool of four girls, and each plays with another. So one time you can be my partner, and then the next two times, you’re on the other team,” Fonoimana explained. “So now we are friends, and now we are not, and now we are friends again. You have to be a good teammate, a good partner, and communicate well quickly.” He won the Gold in the beach volleyball category during the 2000 Sydney Summer
Olympics, and now runs the Elite Beach Volleyball Club in Manhattan Beach (Los Angeles). “I really like the lifestyle, having the beach be my office, and I exercise under the sun. When you’re done training hard, you can get in the water and body surf or surf, and I enjoy it,” he said. His club is holding tryouts for next year on Saturday, Aug. 20 at Marine Street in Manhattan Beach. “We get girls from Santa Barbara, even from Sacramento, all the way down to San Diego,” he said. If you’re an experienced player interested in trying out, contact them at mireiabusta@gmail.com or (310) 464-7783. In 1996, Beach volleyball was included in the Olympic Games as a discipline. These days, more and more courts are popping up on So Cal beaches, and according to Fonoimana, part of the surge is because colleges are now granting scholarships to beach volleyball athletes. “That’s the No. 1 reason right there, and not all of colleges have (scholarships yet). They are in the developmental stage of getting their programs to follow suit. Let’s say there are 66 colleges now, and in the next years there may be 70,” he said. Gibson recommends beach volleyball to everyone. “Go out and play beach volleyball! It’s an amazing sport to get involved with, even if you haven’t started early.” La Jolla Volleyball Club offers summer beach camps and clinics in The Shores, Pacific Beach and Ocean Beach. Experienced players, ages 12-18, and those who want to learn the game, can start in La Jolla Shores. The club’s owner, Barbara Birnbaum, said volleyball enhances a player’s reactions, conditioning and control. “Playing volleyball on the sand helps improve each of these key areas of volleyball, and is a great complement to indoor volleyball training. Beach volleyball is one of the best whole-body workouts, as it requires endurance and coordination, while dealing with the wind, the sun and a very uneven playing surface.” ■ On the Web: lajollavolleyball.com

There’s nothing left to eat
N
La Jolla Cultural Partners
ever has eating been less fun. It truly seems there is nothing that’s good for you anymore. Well, except veggies. But even those have to be locally sourced and grown in loamy soil enlaced with deliriously happy worms. I was discouraged to read recently that those pricey organic veggies that aren’t locally grown lose a lot of their nutrients in the days it takes them to be trucked to your local market. But still I keep trying, because, well, you have to eat SOMETHING. I know: you’re going to say “everything in moderation.” Save it. Moderation, I read, is so last year. If it’s bad for you, you shouldn’t even be eating it in moderation. I always vowed I was not going to be one of the annoying dinner guests who presented the hosts with a list of their dietary taboos. The hostess would make them a special meal of their own then watch them, after a few glasses of wine (which was theoretically on their taboo list as well) eat all the sourdough bread and chocolate-covered strawberries that they had alleged they don’t eat. Trust me; I’ve BEEN to that dinner party. In recent years, I’ve found myself eating
less and less beef, pork and chicken after reading too many articles about the treatment of these poor creatures up to, and especially at, the time of their demise. But if served it at someone’s house, I’m eating it — guilt-free. Sorry, Bossy, they bought it, I didn’t. Fortunately for Olof and me, we both really like fish. But that’s become increasingly problematical and we’re not just talking mercury here. The Monterey Bay Aquarium has a free Seafood Watch app which is also in a purse-ready print-out version for those of us so techno-disabled that by the time we managed to find the app on our phone, the store would be closed. The app has three lists: Best Choices, Good Alternatives, and Avoid, based on sustainability, wild vs. farmed, how the fish are caught, etc. Best Choices, for example, includes salmon from Alaska or New Zealand. Would that my local supermarket, until recently, had any idea where their fish were from. To be fair, probably nothing has ruined their lives more than 2,000 newly-aquaculturally-aware La Jolla housewives wanting to know the country of origin and native language of every
ectotherm in the case. If the housewife thinks it died happily, who cares? Increasingly, the country of origin is listed on the pricetag. Now all you have to do is remember whether that country is a Good Choice or not. Local markets carry plenty of farmed Atlantic salmon, which is on Monterey’s Avoid List. As I’ve stopped cooking much beef, pork and chicken, I’ve taken it upon myself to learn how to expand my ichthyological horizons, learning recipes for fish I hadn’t eaten much of before, like tilapia. But when I went into a (not La Jolla) fish market recently and asked for tilapia, the counter guy was personally offended. “Ma’am,” he said tersely, as if I had just suggested his mother had syphilis, “we do not carry tilapia in this store and you shouldn’t be buying it either!” He went on to tell me in great detail that tilapia are used to clean farmed salmon tanks, living primarily off salmon poop. (No idea if this is true.) Did I want to be eating salmon poop? And speaking of farmed fish, I should never buy that either. The poor fish are highly stressed, crammed into way-too-small tanks, pooping away, and fed a diet I didn’t want to know about, but which he gratuitously informed me anyway included byproducts from poultry processing such as feathers, necks and intestines. Yum-mo! Seconds, anyone? This fish market itself sold troll-caught (it had a fighting chance?) wild salmon, $45 a pound. Olof and I discussed this that night over dinner, which, incidentally, was a vegetarian pizza from Pizza on Pearl. (I mention this so they can send the fish market a thank you note.) While we genuinely do not want to
INGA
Increasingly, fish markets are listing the country of origin; ‘wild, product of USA’ cause fish a stressful life (I’m serious here), having to worry specifically about how it was caught, in addition to its native language and early education, is starting to seem like a lot of work. For farmed fish, the Monterey app says that the label should indicate whether the fish were raised without hormones or genetically-modified plants, and lived in low-density tanks not treated with synthetic herbicides. I can see the Vons seafood manager becoming suicidal. As with all things health-wise these days, there is no agreement. Although the fish market I went into insists I shouldn’t eat tilapia from anywhere, the Monterey Bay Aquarium list says I can eat tilapia from Canada, Ecuador and the United States. Now the only issue is trying to erase the images of my dinner eating salmon poop and chicken doots. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

Mary, Star of the Sea church to host Infant Jesus statue enthronement
COURTESY
The Infant Jesus of Prague statue that Mary, Star of the Sea will receive has been blessed at the Shrine of Our Lady of Victory Church in Prague, Czech Republic and the Divine Mercy Shrine in Poland, along with many prayer groups and Masses in British Columbia, Canada.
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The Catholic congregation at Mary, Star of the Sea Church will celebrate the arrival of a new Infant Jesus of Prague statue, 6 p.m. Saturday, July 16 with an enthronement ceremony officiated by the Bishop of San Diego, Robert McElroy, at 7669 Girard Ave. in the Village. The event will include a bilingual Mass. Mary, Star of the Sea is also starting a devotion association for the new figure. Volunteer Marie Hemming has been involved in the process and said, “this turned into something much bigger that we could have ever imagined. We thought we would do some prayer … and now the Bishop is presiding over the Mass!” She said the project began 10 years ago when a parishioner first had the inspiration to pray to the Infant Jesus of Prague. In 2015, Hemming called a devotion association in Vancouver, Canada to find guidance for her practice, and there she found Susan Hauck. “It’s been Hauck’s mission for 17 years to expand devotion to the Infant Jesus of Prague over the world by giving statues of Jesus to churches around the world,” Hemming explained. Hauck offered a statue to Mary, Star of the Sea, and last May during a trip to Prague, she acquired the figure. The statue, which will soon arrive to La Jolla, is made of porcelain. Its dimensions are 23 inches high, 24 inches wide and 20 inches deep. The church is having a cabinet made to display the figure in its Mary Chapel. Hauck is also gifting Mary, Star of the Sea with three garments for the Infant Jesus statue that will resemble the habits of a priest. “Purple during Advent, most of the year green, but red for some events,” Hemming said. The silk tunics will be decorated with gem stones that Hauck sewed together. The devotion to the Infant Jesus of Prague started in Spain in the 15th century. Legend tells that Saint Teresa of Ávila gifted the figure to a noble Spanish family, and it

eventually made its way to Prague, where the original carving in wood and wax is exhibited. “A lot of people including myself, when I first heard of this devotion, thought, ‘what is this doll?’ ” laughed Hemming. She explained that the church’s large Hispanic and Filipino communities understand the devotion a lot better than Americans. She gave an example: “There’s a Hispanic woman in our church, who when she was a child in Mexico, was very sick and her parents took her to a church. Her mother decided she would dress her daughter like Jesus for six months, and the girl would dress like Jesus every day. She said that she felt so special. One day, while her parents were praying over her for healing, she saw an image of the Holy Infant dressed in blue, and after that, she was cured. “We are reuniting and continuing the devotion to Baby Jesus ... that’s really what this is all about.” Of the upcoming enthronement, Rev. James Rafferty said, “As pastor of Mary, Star of the Sea in La Jolla, it is with great joy that I welcome an ancient devotion of the church to the child Jesus as the Holy Infant Jesus of Prague.” After the enthronement, parishioners will hold novenas (from the Latin, novem, meaning nine, an act of devotion consisting of private or public prayers repeated for nine days in belief of obtaining graces) after the daily 8 a.m. Mass, and will also say rosaries (special series of prayers). “We will be trying to get people to become members of the Society of the Infant Jesus of Prague, and we can pray for their special intentions,” Hemming said. Church members are considering a monthly Mass to honor the Infant Jesus of Prague. On Saturdays, Mary, Star of the Sea has a 5 p.m. Mass in English and a 6:30 p.m. Spanish service, however, on July 16 there will just be a 5:30 p.m. bilingual Rosary, and 6 p.m. bilingual Mass and refreshments.

‘Truth’ takes spotlight in “The Last Tiger in Haiti’
H
ow many of us have been wronged? Or discovered something shocking about someone we care for? Who has struggled with forgiveness? ... These are a few of the emotional elements threaded through the La Jolla Playhouse’s world premiere of “The Last Tiger in Haiti,” by Jeff Augustin, directed by Joshua Kahan Brody. As the play opens, a small shack frame, some rolled-up bedding, and a few boxes illustrate the poverty shared by Haitians Emmanuel (Clinton Roane), Joseph (Reggie D. White), Rose (Brittany Bellizeare), Laurie (Jasmine St. Clair) and Max (Andy Lucien). They are servants to their dreaded master whose house is right behind them, and most have been very abused in many ways. There’s some chitchat among the group as they listen to the nearby sounds of Kanaval, Haiti’s annual Mardi Gras celebration. After some exchanges (good and bad), one among them begins their
story-telling tradition: If someone has a story he/she wants to tell, they say, “krik.” If someone wants to hear the story, they say “krak.” On this night Rose begins and her story is well received. It sparks some of the others to tell their tales with the intention of making their stories better. Soon the group goes restless and they banter back and forth, making it hard for some to fall asleep. Their Haitian accents sometimes make it difficult to understand what they are saying. However, these are all great actors and actions speak louder than words. As the audience takes its seats for the second half of the play, big “ahhh’s” fill the air because any traces of Haiti are gone. Instead, the stage has become an upscale apartment in New Your City with a beautiful view. It’s 16 years past the days of Kanaval in Haiti. Rose lives in the apartment and is engaged. She is somewhat surprised when

Max shows up unexpectedly. They reminisce about old times and discuss their changes. She offers him tea, but he’s not interested, which surprises Rose. Finally Max gets down to why he really came to see Rose. What follows is some answers to the questions posed at the
beginning of this review. ■ IF YOU GO: “The Last Tiger in Haiti,” is on stage through July 24 in the Mandell Weiss Forum Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UCSD campus. Tickets from $20. (858) 550-1010. lajollaplayhouse.org
Art ‘raffle’ nets about $11,000 for LJAA
“
24 ... Number 24!” cried out Raye Anne Marks, treasurer of La Jolla Art Association (LJAA), as she read off the latest raffle ticket number picked from a glass fishbowl at the annual fundraising event July 10 in the galleries in La Jolla Shores. “That’s me! I want Tyla’s painting ‘Sea Waves,’ please,” squeaked out a voice from the crowd of 40-50 highly attentive art patrons sittting straight and tall in their white foldup chairs, hoping their ticket number would soon be called. LJAA sold 52 tickets to the event for $200 each. Each ticket holder got to choose from one of 64 paintings (each valued up to $2,000), once their number was called. Everyone wanted an early pick so they had the best choice of artwork. The 12 paintings not chosen were offered for $100 a piece at the end of the raffle. A steal anyway you look at it! Among the ticket holders were people from all over San Diego; many were artists who wanted to own a painting by an admired peer, some just wanted something to capture their memories of a place or person they cherished, and others were after a good deal or art investment. When her number was called, LJAA member Jacque Nevels picked a very solid, dark-colored, starburst-style abstract painting titled “Profusion,” by Tamara Stautland. “I just love abstract art work,” she swooned. Ginger Steketee, retired from the Visual Arts Department at Palomar College, chose a lovely
seascape of a boy picking up shells, titled “Shell Seeker,” by Bonnie Owen. “I selected it because it makes me think about my 5-year-old grandson, who lives far away, way up in Canada,” Steketee said. Marlena Bussand chose Connie McCoy’s painting “Dubrovnik Plaza,” because “I’ve been there and I wanted something that reminded me of my trip.” Shores residents Mary and Mathew Cantonis had their eyes on a good value, so they selected Raye Anne Mark’s delightful “Paris Cafe,” which would normally sell for about five times the price of a raffle ticket. Misty Oleson bought two raffle tickets and was able to pick two paintings, both by Tyla Colton. One was the still life “Kitchen Flowers,” and the other was an outdoor painting titled “Secluded Lily Pond.” “What attracted me to Tyla’s paintings were the color combinations,” she said. Adam Combs likes to launch his kayak at La Jolla Shores beach, and said he’s become interested in the LJAA gallery as a spin-off to his frequent kayaking excursions. After considerable consideration, he selected a double abstract painting titled “Waiting for Red,” by Ellen Deiter. La Jollan Takako Olson picked a wonderful photograph of rows of small, barrel-shaped cactus titled “Botanicals Cabo San Lucas,” by Lisa Ross. Ross said she uses an expensive color printer that paints her photographs on canvas. One of them, of a 100-year-old wooden summer house in Siberia near Lake Bakal, was
Mary and Bill Farrell left over after the raffle and was available for $100. She said she stepped off a Trans-Siberian Railway car to take the shot, which would normally sell online for 12 times the raffle price! Bill and Mary Farrell were looking for memory joggers. They picked “Autumn Colorado” by Tyla Colton because, “we lived in Colorado,” and “Tuscany” by Naren Doshi, because “we have visited there many times.” Bill is an oceanographer who wrote some of the first articles predicting global climate change and rising sea levels. Coca Hummel of Rancho Santa Fe selected “Pine Valley Trees,” by Tyla Colton because, “I wanted an example of Tyla’s new way of painting in the abstract impressionist style.” In a similar vein, Cindi Klong choose fellow LJAA artist Lee Katz’s interior “Her Favorite Spot,” because “I really liked all the colors in it.” LJAA president Mike Morse called the event

Young stars share leading role in Moxie musical BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Clever songs, belly laughs and old-style showbiz pizzazz abound in Moxie Theatre’s upcoming cure for the summertime blues, opening July 16. Ta-da! It’s “Ruthless! The Musical,” a campy, cult classic featuring a talented 8-year-old who would literally kill to get the lead in her school play. An award-winning hit in New York in 1992, “Ruthless” spoofs Broadway musicals and movies like “The Bad Seed,” “Gypsy,” and “All About Eve,” and its 2015 revival won another award for Best Off-Broadway Show. Co-directed here by acclaimed performer, director and musical coach Leigh Scarritt and Moxie’s own award-winning artistic director, Delicia Turner Sonnenberg, the show is full of delights for all ages. Among them are two young rising stars who share the role of Tina, the ruthless kid who’s dead-set on success. Both 7-year-old Madison O’Donovan, a soon-to-be second grader, and 10-year-old Ainsley Savant, enroute to sixth-grade, have been training with Miss Leigh for several years and performing in cabaret acts with Leigh Scarritt Productions. Both are accomplished singers and dancers, although “Ruthless” is their theatrical debut, or, as Ainsley pointed out, their first Equity show. In the words of Tina’s big number, both girls were “born to entertain.” “Tina wants to show the world she’s meant to be a star,” said Ainsley. “She wants to be a star in her family, and I do, too,” said Madison. “When I play Tina, I

It would be really hard for one girl to do the lead every night, but she’s great to work with and each of our Tinas is a little different. She’s doing the Madison Tina and I’m doing
Ainsley Savant, 10, and Madison O’Donovan, 7, are Tina, the hyper-ambitious young star of ‘Ruthless! The Musical,’ opening July 16 at Moxie Theatre. the Ainsley Tina.” Another highlight in the show is local theater critic Pat Launer, going onstage again — as she does every decade or so — playing (what else?) a theater critic. “It was an offer I couldn’t refuse,” Launer said. “The fun of playing a critic, though she’s much more caustic than I am, and then the opportunity to work with Leigh and Delicia together — a very dynamic duo.” An all-female musical — well, sort of — “Ruthless” was written by a couple of guys: Joel Paley (Book and Lyrics) and Marvin Laird (Music), who actually stepped into the roles of Tina and her overbearing talent agent Sylvia St. Croix for a Broadway AIDS benefit in 2014. Spilling the plot would spoil the fun, so you’ll have to see the show for yourself ...

FUN FACT: Britney Spears was one of the understudies for Tina in the original off-Broadway production of “Ruthless” in 1992. ■ IF YOU GO: “Ruthless!

San Diego Zoo centennial celebrated at RITZ gala
2
016’s RITZ (Rendevous In The Zoo) gala, “It Began with a Roar,” marked the 100th anniversary of the San Diego Zoo. The black-tie affair, June 18 on Zoo grounds, featured lavish hors d’oeuvres, hosted cocktails, a three-course gourmet dinner, live and silent auctions, and then dancing to music from Wayne Foster Entertainment. Animal Ambassador Joan Embery welcomed guests and dignitaries while a few furry creatures strolled the pathways, guided by animal handlers. Since it began in 1984, RITZ has raised more than $17 million for San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research. Beneficiaries at the Zoo include Australian Outback, Sun Bear Forest, Gorilla Tropics, Elephant Odyssey, Ituri Forest, and Pygmy Chimps at Bonobo Road. The following Saturday, June 25, The San Diego History Center saluted the Zoo’s centennial, with a dinner and program held jointly at the History Center and on Zoo grounds. La Jolla Light will publish coverage of the event in the July 21 issue.

Big Hats: July 15, California Chrome: July 23
Race season at Del Mar starts this weekend BY KELLEY CARLSON The 39-day thoroughbred horse racing season at Del Mar kicks off Friday, July 15 and runs through Labor Day, Sept. 5, promising big hats, colorful silks, musical stars, and the return of the popular racehorse “Chrome.” Among the highlights is the expected return of California Chrome. The 2014 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner last appeared at the seaside oval almost two years ago, when he won the Grade I, $300,000 Hollywood Derby in his first try on the turf. In 2015, the chestnut horse spent much of his time overseas and took time off to recuperate from injuries, but he seems to be back to his winning ways this year. California Chrome won the Grade II, $200,500 San Pasqual Stakes in his seasonal debut, then traveled to Dubai, where he won the Grade I, $10 million Dubai World Cup, en route to becoming the richest racehorse in North American history. According to California Chrome’s connections, the next stop is the Grade II, $200,000 San Diego Handicap at Del Mar on July 23. If he does well, he could return in the Grade I, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic – and possibly face the champion filly Beholder – on Aug. 20. If all goes according to plan, the public will be able to watch California Chrome work out around 7:45 a.m. July 16, just before the start of Donuts
They’ll be off and running at 2 p.m. Friday, July 15 at the Del Mar racetrack. Day at 8 a.m. California Chrome likely won’t be the only Kentucky Derby winner on the grounds, however. This year’s victor, Nyquist, is expected to train at Del Mar, although his next start was undetermined as of press time.
Center stage
While much of the attention will be focused on horses during the day, performers from a variety of genres will be

in the spotlight on Friday and Saturday evenings. “Hands down, this is the best and most diverse lineup in our 20-year history (of concerts),” said Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions. Rock band 311 and reggae vocalist Matisyahu are slated to take the stage on Aug. 13. There will be other reggae artists during the season, as well, including Ziggy Marley (July 30), Pepper (Aug. 26) and The Wailers (Sept. 2). The country music scene
will be represented by Chris Young on Aug. 12, while Grammy Award winner Brian Setzer will rock the house on Aug. 6. Several Electronic Dance Music (EDM) acts will energize the crowd, such as Girl Talk (Aug. 5), Thievery Corporation (Aug. 19) and Chromeo (Sept. 3). Alt-rock band Cold War Kids, whose songs include the hit “First,” will entertain fans on July 22, while returning indie pop group Fitz and the Tantrums will perform their soul-influenced tunes on July 29. The concerts are held in the Seaside Stage area and are free with racetrack admission; however, the cost goes up to $20 for those who enter after the last race. The performances are restricted to ages 18 and older. Each Friday, the track will host a weekly pre-concert party at its Cabana tent outside the concert area. Radio station 91X will be broadcasting from the tent, and a warm-up band will provide live entertainment.
Fan fare
Food-centric affairs have proven to be a big hit at the seaside oval, and in 2016, there will be more than ever before. The first one for foodies is the Del Mar BBQ State Championship, July 17. More than 50 chefs will compete for cash prizes, and people will be able to buy four, two-ounce “competition-ready” samples of chicken, brisket, ribs, pork and steak for $10.

Student gardeners react to news of their winning harvests.
The gardeners stoll through their maze of corn stalks
Torrey Pines Elementary among Garden to Café project winners San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) rep and Farm to School specialist Ashley Cassat announced the winners of the Garden to Café Contest, stating, “We are extremely grateful for the generous support of the Village Garden Club of La Jolla. The top five schools that harvested the most for their campus cafeterias were Miramar Ranch Elementary (108.8 pounds, 33 harvests), Riley School (83.7, 11 harvests),
Torrey Pines Elementary (46.8 pounds, 11 harvests, Jerabek Elementary (29.45, 10 harvests) and McGill School of Success (24.5 pounds, 11 harvests).” Students and teachers plan, construct, work the soil, plant, water and tend their crops to harvest flowers and food. SDUSD includes their harvests in the cafeteria food buffet. “They love to eat what they have grown
themselves!” said Village Garden Club member Ann Glazener, chair of the Schoolyard Gardening Grant. “We are so happy to support this effort. Funding depends on the generous donations of our members and others in our community who believe in this effort. Donations are tax-deductible and distributed annually. By contributing to this program, you are helping to grow environmentalists of the
future.” To make a donation, visit the club’s website at vgclj.com One of the club's many objectives is to promote gardening to schools and young people through grants for schoolyard gardens. To date, it has reached some 80 schools with $70,000 in funds, mostly from club members. Last year, the Schoolyard Gardening Committee awarded 22 grants totaling close to $8,500.

656 PHOTOGRAPHY FOR FASHION WEEK SAN DIEGO
A dramatic design from the Fashion Week San Diego, 2015, also held in La Jolla.
30 and Saturday, Oct. 1, will be held at Hotel La Jolla, 7955 La Jolla Shores Drive. “We’re taking over the whole front driveway, pool and lobby area, and I’m so excited they are letting us take over the space,” Andrews said. “We love bringing this event to new venues to make it something new, special and unique for that year. The new settings provide a new feel and a new experience.” 2016 designers participating in the runway shows include: Albert Ray Collection, As Much Again, B.JASH.I Couture, Bryan VaughnBerry, Chavon Shree, Circa Suzy Vintage Couture, DeAnnah Rae Couture, Fuseik, GFASH, Gloria Guerrero, Jaded Marie, Killem with Chic, Laced with B, LK Fashion Design, Luis Rivas, Margaret the Maker, Odd Bird Designs, P.Sangeeta, Pashn by Survi, RACA Designs, Territa Torres, The Stylish Bisou Couture, Theo Doro Fairyland, Timmithea, Valleau Apparel, and y-u-l-i-y-a. Of this year’s designers and the collection themes, Andrews said, “There seems to be a huge trend in cultural apparel ... This year, we have a designer from Africa who creates these out-of-this-world headpieces. They are so regal and elegant, they’re unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.” There are also two designers from India, each presenting a different spin on Indian fashion. “One is very traditional in her prints and silhouettes, and the other is modern and contemporary with unique textures and colors,” Andrews said. “They bring a lot of their heritage and culture to the table with their aesthetic. We have

some pretty cool standouts, but a theme thus far is people clinging to their cultural roots, which I think is refreshing and beautiful.” Representing La Jolla, designer Suzy McCabe of Circa Suzy Vintage Couture will make her Fashion Week debut, showcasing her vintage-inspired jewelry. McCabe moved to The Jewel a year ago, and shares her time between here and the East Coast, where she has children in college. “I always wanted to be a designer, and four years ago transitioned out of corporate America to design and make jewelry,” she said. “I take semi-precious stones and set them with unique broaches to create these one-of-a-kind pieces for women with some modern moxie. It’s vintage with a twist.” Having collected vintage jewelry since she was 10, McCabe said she wants to give new life to pieces that might otherwise be stored away in jewelry box, never to be seen again. “My mom and I would go to flea markets and estate sales to look for unique pieces, so I had quite a collection to draw from,” she said. “My mom has since passed away, so this is my tribute to her. I modernize these pieces to share with the next generation.” Saying she was “very excited” to show at FWSD, McCabe said this event has been the “pinnacle” of her career. The Week closes with a trunk show at La Valencia Hotel, where fashion-philes have the chance to meet the designers and purchase favorite pieces. As part of the 10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 2 Trunk Show, the Awards Show will be held at 1 p.m. to announce the top designers as voted by the audience. ■ On the Web: fashionweeksd.com

Soon to be a Major Motion Picture!
Group hijacks a plane in 1956 to escape Iron Curtain BY CHRIS SAUR This movie won’t need Marvel or Jerry Bruckheimer to make it action-packed, the story of one local man has more than enough pulse-quickening drama. “Freedom Flight,” the story of then 25-year-old Frank Iszak and his six young companions hijacking a twin-engine airplane to escape the communist terror of 1956, has completed the development phase and is now awaiting a final round of funding. If you can’t wait for the movie — which is being made by Hungarian award-winning director Endre Hules and is set to feature Sam Neill (“Jurassic Park”) and David Kross (“War Horse”) — Iszak will be at Warwick’s, noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, July 17, signing copies of his book, “Freedom Flight: A True Account of the Cold War’s Greatest Escape” on which the movie is based. Iszak, 85, who owns and teaches yoga at Rhythm Yoga and Dance in Rancho Santa Fe, had originally self-published the book in 2011 and the signing is his first since the book’s March 29 release through Morgan James Publishing. As for the film, Iszak — who is working as technical adviser — says details like finding locations, adapting the screenplay, securing crew, getting actors and procuring the DC-3 airplane and fighter jets have been completed thanks to an initial round of funding and tireless work by Hules. They expect to finish fundraising within the year.
Frank Iszak will be at Warwick’s, noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, July 17, signing copies of his book, ‘Freedom Flight: A True Account of the Cold War’s Greatest Escape,’ 7812 Girard Ave. Filming in Hungary, Iszak added, not only adds to the realism of the story but saves the production money thanks to the government giving a tax break and an additional rebate from a film fund. Realism is important because the story itself defies belief. Iszak and his partners that rainy afternoon almost exactly 60 years ago (July 13, 1956) got on the plane with no weapons and no idea if it had enough fuel to take them to West Germany, where they could claim asylum. If they landed somewhere in
Hungary or any of the other surrounding countries, they would have likely been tortured and certainly been executed. But though the odds were definitely stacked against this rag-tag group, they actually had some incredible luck on their side. A series of crazy coincidences, along with a ton of bravery, aided the seven youngsters on that fateful day. The story, however, starts years earlier. Following World War II, Hungary attempted at least two democratic elections, but eventually found itself under communist rule by Stalinists, including Matyas Rakoski, who Iszak called “even worse than Stalin.” Over the next few years, different factions within the communist party alternated power and, during one such exchange of power, Iszak, a journalist in the city of Pecs, was sent to a forced labor camp. He was able to escape, then moved to Budapest where, as a fugitive, he moved from job to job often, ending up in a cement factory, where he met George, another fugitive and a former fighter pilot in the Hungarian Army. George was also a boxer, as was Iszak, and the pair along with five others, including Iszak’s wife at the time, Emese, formed a boxing team that eventually served as their cover to actually get on the plane — setting up a boxing competition at a city in western Hungary. It had to be a domestic airline because the KGB would have stopped them right away trying to board an international flight. It was even dicey to get on a domestic flight, and there would be an undercover KGB agent on board, but the group’s first stroke of luck came when they weren’t even questioned boarding the plane. Iszak returned to Hungary in 2006 and spent hours researching in the national archives to add context to the story, and one of his revelations was that on the very same day they had chosen to hijack the plane, a high-ranking politician from the Soviet Union was in the country to facility the removal of one of the Hungarian leaders. That meant that nearly the entire Hungarian contingent of the KGB was busy guarding the Soviet politician and security at the airport was lax. Still, Iszak’s group knew that one of the nine other passengers on their flight would be a KGB agent, so they devised a plan to
attack and subdue the other passengers. When they went to do that, the pilot reacted quickly, locking the cockpit door and taking the plane to high elevation, then diving low and repeating the maneuver several times in an attempt to subdue the hijackers. Needing to get into the cockpit, the seven young boxers got their second stroke of luck — the cockpit door was made of plywood, not metal. Iszak later found in his research that of the six planes the company had on domestic flights at that time, theirs was the only one made of plywood. That allowed George to use a screwdriver and break into the cockpit. Expecting four people to be in the cockpit, as was customary, George was surprised to see a fifth person — the KGB agent, who was holding a gun that he pointed at George’s head and pulled the trigger. But in another moment of divine intervention, it didn’t fire. According to Iszak, forensics research showed the agent had accidentally put two bullets in the chamber, which could have only happened with that particular model of gun. George then tackled the agent and a brawl ensued as the other four people in the cockpit pummeled him with anything they could find. George eventually needed more than 50 stitches for the cuts he sustained, but the hijackers were able to take control of the cockpit. By this time, they were around 300 feet off the ground and the pilot — with Iszak holding a gun to his head — and co-pilot George literally had to swerve to avoid church steeples. They had no navigation and no idea how much fuel was left, and there were two Soviet MiG fighters on their tail ready to shoot them down. Iszak’s recent research uncovered that a communication breakdown between the ground and fighter jets was the only reason they weren’t fired on, and the MiGs had to break off when the plane crossed the border. The group then tried to follow the Danube River, but lost it due to intense cloud cover. Flying blind over the stormy Alps, the group eventually ran out of fuel and was forced to try to land in complete darkness. By chance, they were near what looked to be a deserted airstrip and were able to land relatively smoothly. But where were they? “We have no idea where we are,” Iszak explained. “Finally something shows up at the end of the runway. It’s a car with a machine gun tower at the top, but we can’t see what flag it bears. “Finally it arrives … stars and stripes.” Iszak’s group had landed in West Germany and had been met by the United States military. The story became world famous and is thought to be one of the catalysts for the Hungarian Revolution just four months later. After working for the military for a few months — he had lots of useful information — Iszak immigrated to the United States in 1957 and became a citizen in 1962. He has worked as a chemist, journalist, publisher and private investigator. In 2003, along with his second wife, Serpil, he founded Silver Age Yoga Community Outreach, a charitable foundation that provides free yoga classes to underserved seniors.

Tangy Tartar Sauce ■ Ingredients: • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (olive oil, safflower oil, your choice)
Hold the mustard, make it mayo
G
rowing up I remember mayonnaise being the default condiment slathered on everything from pastrami to club sandwiches, tossed generously into egg, chicken and macaroni salads, and used as a base for concocting other dressings by adding ketchup (Thousand Islands), relish (tartar sauce), and buttermilk and green onion (ranch). Today there are sophisticated and healthier versions of the nostalgic mayo, and even eggless brands, one of which was the defendant in a controversial lawsuit regarding fraudulent mayonnaise representation. Here’s the scoop on this beloved dressing so you can get the most out of it for grilling season and beyond. Salad Days: The French lay a solid claim as any to the origin of the word “mayonnaise,” which is believed to be derived from the old French “moyeu,” which means yolk of egg, the primary ingredient in the creamy emulsion, along with an acid, such as vinegar or lemon juice, oil and spices. While the ancient dressing has trickled throughout Europe and Scandinavian countries for centuries as a versatile dipping sauce, spread and marinade, in America Hellman’s (called Best Foods west of the Rockies) has dominated the mayo market since the early 1900s. New York deli owner Richard Hellmann prepared scrumptious salads and sandwiches using his wife Nina’s homemade mayonnaise. By 1912 he
• 2 teaspoons chopped cornichons (sweet gherkins)
started mass-producing the popular condiment in the iconic blue ribbon-labeled jars, which are still flying off supermarket shelves today. The Mayonnaise Craze: While die-hard mayophiles stay loyal to the classic recipe, more adventurous taste buds are expanding their culinary horizons with unusual combinations and exotic ingredients offered at specialty stores and farmers markets. Heart-healthy options incorporate such fats as olive, safflower, truffle and avocado oils, or use just the egg whites, while vegan versions leave out the egg altogether. Savory and spicy ethnic renditions dial up the heat like Japanese mayo (wasabi mustard, rice wine vinegar), Mexican mayo (chipotle chilis), Italian mayo (roasted garlic, balsamic vinegar and basil), Asian mayo (ginger sesame), or French (Dijon mustard and Champagne vinegar). For an interesting change-up, add sweet spices and flavorings to basic mayo from vanilla bean and orange blossom honey to dark chocolate and cinnamon. Or whip up a tipsy mayo blending almond-flavored Amaretto, orange-kissed Grand Marnier or rich hazelnut Frangelico for a divine dipping sauce for fresh or dried fruit. Although typically high in fat (some versions are more dangerous than others) a little dab will do you.
• 2 teaspoons capers • 1 tablespoon lemon juice • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce • 1 teaspoon whole grain or brown mustard • 1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped tarragon
■ Method: Place ingredients in a food processor, and gently pulse until coarsely chopped. Chill.
• Salt and pepper to taste

Multi-tasking Mayo: You can practically use mayonnaise for everything except shining your shoes. Top burgers, breaded fish sandwiches and corn on the cob with it. Blend it into crab cakes, potato and tuna salads, slaws devilled eggs and frittatas. Whip up a marinade for roasted chicken or wild caught salmon with it. Mix mayo with horseradish and ketchup for a zippy seafood cocktail sauce. As in the Netherlands, use it as a dipping sauce for fries. You can swap out fats for mayo when baking quick breads, cakes and other treats for a moist, silky texture. Beyond the kitchen mayo is a multi-purpose household treasure used to remove gum from furniture, crayon graffiti from walls, and tree sap from cars, condition hair for a lustrous glow, help heal hangnails, and soothe sunburned skin. So mayo up! Left with Egg on their Face: In 2014, food giant Unilever, producer of Hellman’s
mayonnaise, instituted a civil lawsuit against Hampton Creek, a start-up company backed by Bill Gates among other heavy hitters, which makes the brand Just Mayo, an eggless riff on the classic spread that contains a yellow pea protein as a substitute. The plaintiff’s case alleging fraudulent advertising was based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) definition of a bona fide mayonnaise — requiring one or more egg yolks in the emulsion, whether liquid, frozen or dried. Unilever asserted that Hampton Creek failed to meet the FDA standards for mayonnaise, which in turn was misleading to consumers, particularly since the brand label displayed a silhouette of an egg with a cut-out image of a pea shoot. Alas, Unilever subsequently dropped its lawsuit, showing that eggs in mayo are not all they are cracked up to be, especially in the innovative food industry.

A Brief Guide to Counters and Flooring In the previous columns, we’ve discussed the general range of what to expect when deciding on your materials for your new home or remodel. Here is a handy list to give you a more detailed idea of what your options are for counters and flooring. Ultimately, you should choose the look you love, since you will have to live with it for a while. However, it’s also good to know what types of materials best suit particular homes and lifestyles. Going to showrooms for tile and other
flooring materials can be overwhelming, but there is something thrilling about the hands-on process of touching the materials and imagining them in your new house. To avoid any anxieties during the decisionmaking process, it’s best to go in with a plan in mind. Have an idea of what materials suit your home best and how much you can spend. Choosing your countertop. • Granite. This comes in polished and honed. Polished granite is the top choice for most homeowners, as it offers a variety of style and color options, has the highend look of marble, and remains one of the most durable options. With granite, visit a warehouse and walk the aisles of slabs of various patterns to really get a sense of your future kitchen or bathroom. Honed offers a matte finish, which lends a modern twist to the style while retaining the durability of regular granite. • Quartz. One of the new darlings in countertop materials, quartz countertops
are engineered to resist stains, acid, scratches, heat, and impacts. The surface also isn’t porous like natural stone and so doesn’t need to be sealed, so it’s virtually maintenance free. It also ranges in color and pattern to fit most kitchen styles. • Marble. This material offers a highend appearance with a cost comparable to granite, and the veining is ideal for disguising wear and staining. However, marble can be porous, so without regular sealing and special care with acidic elements, staining and etching can be a problem. • Travertine. This material is favored for its Old-World look, ideal for Tuscan-Revival styles. However, you can combine it with other materials, such as stainless steel or wood, for an updated look. • Laminate. This is the most budgetfriendly option of all. This retro material is ideal for a mid-century style, but laminate is also seeing a resurgence in popularity because of new patters made to resemble
natural wood, stone, and quartz at a fraction of the cost. • Wood. The butcher-block style works for either a rustic farm-house style or a hip industrial style when mixed with metal finishes and barstools. Wood is relatively budget-friendly and comes with several benefits. When it is properly sealed, it’s safe for food prep—including cutting meat—and you can set hot pots directly onto it without damage. • Stainless steel. For a very modern and industrial look, stainless steel offers durability and ease: it cleans up with cloth and mild soap. It also happens to be the most hygienic material for a countertop, as stainless steel resists bacterial buildup. One of the best features of this material is that it blends well with other colors and materials for a multi-dimensional kitchen.

Chorus to hold auditions for its next season La Jolla Symphony and Chorus (LJS&C) offers a season of choral masterworks providing an attractive musical outlet for experienced singers. The chorus will hold open auditions 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Aug. 27 and Sept. 24 at UC San Diego. Male singers especially are needed. Choral repertoire for the 2016-2017 season includes “Symphony of Psalms” by Igor Stravinsky and “Requiem” by Giuseppe Verdi, both conducted by LJS&C Music Director Steven Schick, and “The Lovers” by Samuel Barber, conducted by Choral Director David Chase. The season marks the 43rd year for Chase, who will retire after the season finale in June 2017. During his tenure, Chase has led the chorus on six European performance tours plus tours in Mexico and Canada. In 2012 Chase led the chorus in Britten’s Spring Symphony at Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Royal Government of Bhutan invited the LJS&C to be the first western choir to sing in that Himalayan kingdom. Auditions will be held by appointment at the Conrad Prebys Music Center on the UC San Diego campus in La Jolla. Singers with excellent music reading skills and a serious commitment to music are invited to audition. Membership is open to community singers as well as UC San Diego faculty, staff and students. The audition process includes vocalization, sight singing and music skills exercises; a written section to demonstrate understanding of music scores; and singing a prepared song for the choral director. Detailed audition information can be viewed at lajollasymphony.com For an audition appointment, interested singers may contact Chorus Manager Mea Daum by e-mail at chorus@lajollasymphony.com or by phone at (858) 243-2045, evenings.
