Board to consider Jack O’ Lantern plans this week By Pat Sherman Aesthetic elements of three historic cottages off Coast Boulevard that were demolished in 1992 could soon be seen in a new residential development proposed along Coast Boulevard, adjacent Goldfish Café and below Eddie V’s steakhouse. At 9 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 23 the San Diego Planning Commission will consider plans to build three detached town homes at 1241, 1245 and 1249 Coast Blvd., each bearing the name of a cottage that once belonged to La Jolla’s Green Dragon artist colony on the slope between Coast Boulevard and Prospect Street: The East-Cliff, Gables and the Jack O’ Lantern. The commission will consider approving planned, coastal and site development permits for the project (No. 224418), which includes deviations to allow for residential space on the ground floor where retail would normally be required, and the construction of three new SEE Jack O’ Lantern, A6

New fire captain brings years of experience to La Jolla post By Ashley Mackin For Captain Maria Cabrera, the new division captain at La Jolla’s Fire Station 13 (809 Nautilus St.) coming to The Jewel meant a change of pace. She spent the last 16 years at one of San Diego’s busiest

stations, Station 12, serving the Lincoln Park area near National City. Her former station had almost 6,000 calls in Fiscal Year 2014, compared to La Jolla’s 1,559.

Above: A close up of the costume’s intricate details. Right: Christopher Canole’s helmet includes a voice processor with a microphone that makes his voice sound like James Earl Jones as Darth Vader, including heavy breathing and recorded quotes from ‘Star Wars.’ Chin lights help Canole see while walking, and a suspended reading light above the right eye is sculpted to look like the probe in ‘War of the Worlds’ (a Steampunk reference). The back of the helmet contains a bladeless fan to keep the helmet cool. Photos by John Uhrich FROM DUDE VADER, A1 “I wondered, if Darth Vader was not really dead, maybe he gave up the dark side of the Force to retire as Dude Vader in La Jolla, wearing Hawaiian shirts, using his light saber as an occasional makeshift cane and crafting his right arm and leg supports out of Star Wars toys from his days as the young Anakin Skywalker,” mused Canole. He crafted his epic ensemble from broken Star Wars toys he amassed rummaging through Kobey’s Swap Meet, adding requisite Steampunk gears (Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery and

Victorian-era influences). The gauntlet (glove) was fashioned from Anakin’s pod racer, while two women crafted the Star Wars Hawaiian shirt from Children’s bed sheets,” Canole explained. “The helmet took the most time, creating a friendlier image for kids to experience with lots of lights and sound effects,” he said. Dude Vader will be roaming La Jolla on Halloween starting at Pannikin Coffee & Tea, 7467 Girard Ave. Canole said he plans to volunteer appearing as Dude Vader at local charities and for children in area hospitals.

And then there were 19?

Mayor’s office tells planners: Create a seat for La Jolla architect By Pat Sherman solution to the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s (LJCPA) election-challenge woes — in which the city advisory group was threatened with a loss of its legal indemnification and decertification — could be on the horizon. LJCPA Board President Joe LaCava has scheduled a special public meeting of the group’s general members and trustees to consider amending the group’s bylaws so that it may temporarily add an additional seat on its board of directors, allowing La Jolla architect Michael Morton to be seated. The meeting will be 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. Morton ran for a seat on the LJCPA board during the group’s March annual election, though he received the fewest votes of any candidate and was not elected. Meanwhile, five new candidates were elected, while termed-out trustees Joe LaCava and Jim Fitzgerald were re-elected (though Fitzgerald ultimately stepped down). Although LJCPA trustees typically serve two-year terms, since Morton received the fewest votes, if elected, he would have won a seat that only had one year left of its term. Morton could run for an additional twoyear term during the LJCPA’s next annual election in March 2015. (Each year the LJCPA typically has six seats to fill on its 18-member board.)

Elected to the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s board of trustees in March of this year were: Jim Ragsdale, Bob Collins, Robert Mapes, Alex Outwater and Rob Whittemore (not pictured is current board president Joe LaCava). Pat Sherman Although new candidates receiving at least one vote typically have priority over termedout candidates running for a third term, a provision allows for candidates to exceed term limits if there are not enough qualified candidates running and the termed-out trustees receive more than two-thirds of the vote of the group’s general membership (as did LaCava and Fitzgerald). For months, LJCPA trustees and the city have grappled with inconsistencies pertaining to the election process as it relates to the LJCPA’s bylaws and San Diego

City Council Policy 600-24 (standard operating procedures for the city’s recognized community planning groups). As a means for the LJCPA to avoid decertification, the mayor’s office is recommending the group temporarily create a 19th seat for Morton to serve from Nov. 1 2014 to April 1, 2015. The recommendation was presented to LJCPA officers LaCava, Second Vice-President Patrick Ahern, Treasurer Nancy Manno and Secretary Helen Boyden during a meeting Oct. 13 at the office of Mayor Kevin Faulconer. Though

Faulconer was not present, his District 1 representative, Francis Barraza, and Deputy Chief of Staff, Felipe Monroig, presented the solution. District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner also was in attendance. During the Oct. 29 special meeting, a quorum of both the LJCPA’s general membership (at least 32 members) and trustees (at least 10) is required to vote on the mayoral compromise. Any changes to the group’s bylaws must be approved by a simple majority of both members and trustees. LaCava said city staff’s previous solution to the election challenge was merely to seat Morton, resulting in the displacement of one board member — likely himself or trustee Mike Costello (also elected this year). “This compromise was not put on the table for our consideration until this meeting,” LaCava said of the mayoral remedy, noting that the city allows for community planning groups to have between 12 and 20 members. “It’s something the trustees had really not considered in evaluating this question in the past.” A message left for Morton at the office of Marengo-Morton Architects was not returned by press time. u n Several LJCPA trustees oppose adding the 19th seat.

Rocket Woman

La Jolla High alumna to be honored for work as engineer By Pat Sherman he Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is honoring a former La Jollan whose passion for science blossomed as a student at Muirlands Middle and La Jolla High schools. Jessica Teachworth (nee McDonald), who graduated from La Jolla High in 1999, will receive the SWE’s Distinguished New Engineer award Friday, Oct. 24, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Teachworth, who went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of California Berkeley, and master’s degrees in systems engineering and in business administration from San Jose State University, is being recognized for “technical and programmatic excellence in her profession, for being a role model, and for mentoring SWE’s future leaders,” according to SWE. Teachworth, who today resides near San Jose, is a technical assistant to the chief engineer for the Strategic and Missile Defense Systems line of business at Lockheed Martin Corporation. At Lockheed, she has researched and evaluated advanced technologies for use in solid rocket motors, also contributing to the preparation and execution of multimilliondollar contracts that included full-scale test

demonstrations. In her spare time, she helps mentor and nurture young women to be future leaders in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) at San Jose State University and Santa Clara University. Teachworth received similar mentorship

in San Diego while in her youth. Her father, Steve McDonald, said her interest in science first emerged while taking courses in geology and dinosaurs at the San Diego Natural History Museum (theNAT) and a rocketry class at the San Diego Air and Space Museum (both in Balboa Park). “(Her teacher) was so excited in her interest and the way she was able to teach the boys how to build rockets that she became his teaching assistant,” McDonald chimed. In high school, Teachworth participated in the Near-Earth Asteroid program at UC San Diego, studying the feasibility of landing on an asteroid and collecting mineral samples. “The internship with them was analyzing the orbital patterns of asteroids and trying to find which ones would be most viable to send a satellite to,” recalled Teachworth, 33. “I learned how complex it is to accomplish a space mission. There’s so many variables. It truly is rocket science. It gave me a whole appreciation for anything that’s aerospace related. … “What fascinated me,” she said, “was the Space Shuttle — the firepower and things that go fast and far.”

Unlike the late Space Shuttle astronaut Sally Ride, a poster of whom hung in Teachworth’s bedroom as a teen, Teachworth said she longed to be the one in mission control, learning how to build rockets and launch them into space. Like the romance between Sheldon and Amy on TV’s “The Big Bang Theory,” Teachworth met her future husband while at La Jolla High, competing against him in preparation for the Science Olympiad. The teens were competing to create the best Rube Goldberg machine (a device deliberately over-engineered to perform a simple task in a complicated manner, typically employing a chain reaction, as in the popular “Mousetrap” board game). “It’s the only time we’ve ever competed against each other,” Teachworth said of husband, Morgan, who went on to earn a degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University, and who is the son of La Jolla High School physics teacher, Martin Teachworth. A mother of two girls, Teachworth volunteers at her daughter’s preschool, encouraging children to ask “why” and to discover “how.” u

Alcorn & Benton Architects Right: Owners of this three-lot property at 1241, 1245 and 1249 Coast Boulevard (below Eddie V’s steakhouse) plan to build three two-story townhomes that will include architectural elements of three long-gone cottages that were part of the Green Dragon Colony, including the Jack O’ Lantern. Pat Sherman From Jack O’ Lantern, A1

Green Dragon Colony cottages, including: board and batten siding, river bottom stonework on exposed foundations, bungalow style windows, gable, hip and shallow pitched roofs and covered decks and porches. The size of the proposed town homes is: East-Cliff (two bedrooms, 2,267 square feet); Gables (three bedrooms, 2,938 square feet) and Jack O’ Lantern (four bedrooms 2,340 square feet). The units would be accessed from Coast Boulevard via three 12-foot wide driveways.

A total of 12 on-site parking spaces are proposed where only nine are required. Other project components include the construction of a four-foot wide, vertical public stairway from Prospect Street to Coast Boulevard, between the Gables and Jack O’ Lantern — meeting a requirement of the special conditions that is consistent with the La Jolla Community Plan’s recommendation for a public access-way through the site. Retaining walls that vary in height from 2 feet to 10 feet are proposed along only a

driveways along Coast Boulevard where typically only one driveway per 100 feet of street frontage is allowed. The site is 72 percent developed with Eddie V’s, Goldfish Café and two office/ retail buildings, while the remaining, irregularly-shaped 28 percent vacant land would contain the town homes. In 2011, both La Jolla’s Development Permit Review Committee and La Jolla

Community Planning Association approved the plans (by Alcorn & Benton Architects). As a condition for allowing demolition of the early 1900s cottages — which were by then deteriorating and included another, the Dolly Varden — the state imposed special conditions and a deed restriction on future development of the site. The restriction includes a provision that any future development include, “to the extent feasible,” certain historic characterdefining elements that were present on the

portion of Coast Boulevard, replacing an existing, up to 15-foot high retaining wall that is currently located along Coast Boulevard in excess of allowable height limits. Planning Commission staff has recommended the environmental document for the project be certified, and the permits approved. German-born teacher Anna Held (who moved to La Jolla in 1894) founded the Green Dragon Colony on land she purchased near La Jolla Cove for $165. The

first of the colony’s cottages was built around a fireplace Held built from stones gathered on the bluffs. It was designed by her friend, Irving Gill, for $15. The colony once included 11 cottages, including a boat-shaped structure with portholes called “The Ark,” and the “Doll’s House,” built to house Held’s collection of 200 dolls. In the mid-1980s, La Jolla architect Bob Mosher sought unsuccessfully to develop a 41-room hotel on the Green Dragon site. u

By Pat Sherman While La Jollans will lose Shingle Lane retail complex on Fay Avenue to make way for La Jolla Music Society’s new performing arts center, they may get a “memory-care lane,” of sorts, if plans to develop an adjacent building as a residential facility for Alzheimer’s patients are approved. Members of La Jolla’s Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) considered the proposal during an Oct. 14 courtesy review. The DPR analyzes all discretionary permits in La Jolla (outside the Shores) and submits its recommendations to the La Jolla Community Planning Association to be ratified or reconsidered before an official recommendation is forwarded to the city. The proposed Alzheimer’s facility, dubbed Monarch Cottages, would require remodeling the exterior and interior of a vacant building at 7630 Fay Ave. that was formerly home to the Chopra Center and, more recently, SPA MD cosmetic surgery center. The applicant is seeking site, coastal

development and conditional use permits for a 26-unit care facility in the two-story building, located in Zone 3 of the La Jolla Planned District. Presenting plans to DPR were father and son Frank and John Haffner, who have developed more than 30 senior living facilities. The proposed La Jolla facility would include a communal kitchen and “garden café” on Fay Avenue, where residents would be monitored by a staff member at all times. Security cameras would also be employed to assure residents do not wander off.

Voted BEST Personal Trainers in La Jolla Village News

By Ashley Mackin oe Pantoliano, the actor known for his roles in “Risky Business,” “The Sopranos,” “The Fugitive,” “The Matrix” and “Memento,” spoke in La Jolla Oct. 8 at the International Bipolar Foundation luncheon to address the importance of open and non-judgmental dialogue when discussing mental illness. In 2006, Pantoliano produced and starred in “Canvas” alongside Marcia Gay Harden, the story of a family impacted by mental illness, and based on a true story. Inspired by that role, he founded “No Kidding, Me Too,” a nonprofit dedicated to removing shame or embarrassment when talking about mental illness, and directed a documentary of the same name. By sharing his personal struggle with lifelong depression and addiction, he said he hopes to encourage others to do the same. “Living in secrecy and shame from the discrimination that shrouds (mental illness) has got to end. I don’t know why there is so much shame in having what a lot of people have. I just don’t get it,” he said. Pantoliano explained that although his career was going strong, there was “an

emptiness” inside him and a pain he didn’t want to feel. So he turned to drugs and alcohol, at one time taking 25 Vicodin a day. “Mental disease and addiction go hand in hand, and in my case, my addictions were born out of my emotional disease and emotional unbalance,” he said. “For me, drugs and alcohol were painkillers. What I was doing was trying to avoid a pain inside of me and I was looking for a way out.” Pantoliano talked openly and candidly about his experiences, including his challenge with dyslexia as a child. “When I was auditioning for a high school play, I had to have my sister read the play to me and I would memorize the part I was auditioning for and I pretended I was reading off the page,” he said. “I did that for 15 years.” Happy to share his story, he added, “The more we talk about this, the less shame there will be. We all have our stories to tell and when we share our stories we feel less alone.” Pantoliano had the opportunity to share his story through 12-step recovery programs, where, he said “people know what its like to be you and be in your head.” Now sober, he said he believes the power of recovery programs and “finding your

They ask themselves what they did wrong. I think (a better idea) is early prevention,” he said “Starting with kids as young as preschool, teach them that it’s cool to have feelings. Make it socially acceptable to have emotions.” He contends that children need to be told it is OK to have and express their positive and negative emotions; otherwise they might turn to drugs to avoid feeling them. Pantoliano’s lecture, and the luncheon itself, was held the day before National

Bipolar Awareness Day, and the kickoff of the Say It Forward campaign. With the campaign, which closed Oct. 12, those with mental health issues were encouraged to use social media to share their stories using the #SayItForward to educate their friends about the realities of mental health. In 2012, The Say It Forward campaign reached 10,000 people and in 2013, more than one million people. Numbers for the 2014 campaign are still coming in. International Bipolar Foundation cofounder Muffy Walker said “The concept ‘pay it forward’ means to perform a selfless good deed for someone, ‘Say It Forward’

In an effort to make people laugh, Muffy Walker announces the Make Someone Happy campaign.

On the Web ■ Bipolar Foundation: IBPF.org ■ No Kidding, Me Too: nkm2.org does the same by speaking out against stigma. ‘Say It Forward’ will encourage people to bust it and show the world that mental conditions such as bipolar disorder can affect anyone and there is no shame in it.” In an ongoing effort, Walker also announced the Make Someone Happy campaign, and challenged each attendee to

make three people happy. To help, the Bipolar Foundation distributed red clown noses, and asked guests to put the nose on and send a photo to someone who could use a laugh. The International Bipolar Foundation provides free and globally accessible resources for mental health support. It also hosts quarterly lectures in La Jolla, and an annual “Behind the Mask” gala in May. Last year, David Russell, writer-director of “Silver Linings Playbook” was honored. This year’s event, “changing the game of stigma,” promises to be big, with Walker hinting that NBA basketball player Metta World Peace (born Ron Artest) will attend. u

Captain Maria Cabrera is a 27-year veteran of the San Diego Fire Department. From Fire Captain, A1 With a little less than a year until retirement, Cabrera said coming to La Jolla is a nice way to close her career. “For my health’s sake it was time for me to slow down and enjoy my time,” she said. “Not that I didn’t enjoy it at Station 12, but it was just very busy … and La Jolla is so pretty; I thought it would be nice to come here for work every day.” Station 13 has three rotating divisions — A, B and C — designed to ensure someone is present at all times. Firefighters work in multi-day blocks, coupled with a few days off. Cabrera helms A Division, but crewmembers of each division are confident in her ability. “If we have an incident here, whatever it is, she’ll know exactly what to do, how to handle it and how to manage the scene,” said Leslie Gallo of B Division. “I couldn’t ask for anyone better.” Gallo has been with Station 13 for 16 years, and said she’s seen a lot of captains come and go. With Captain Cabrera, “you’ll get good service here in La Jolla,” she said. The majority of calls Station 13 responds to are medical, followed by ringing home and car alarms, Cabrera said, but the engine will respond to any emergency. That’s why, she said, if drivers see a fire truck coming with lights and sirens, they must pull to the right. “A lot of people panic and don’t know what to do, or they will be on their phones and distracted,” she said. “If you hear sirens, we ask that you pull to the right and look around because a lot of times you don’t know where they’re coming from. Instead of

Ashley Mackin

darting through an intersection to get out of the way, just be alert and aware … because if we think the intersection is clear and come barreling down … let’s just say it’s not a good match.” In addition to the 16 years at Station 12, Cabrera spent more than a decade working at other stations and in other fire-related city departments. She began her career as a weed abatement inspector after the Normal Heights fire of 1985, and then made her way to a code compliance supervisor. She joined the department as a firefighter in 1987, the same year her daughter, Alyssa, was born. Has being a woman in the maledominated field of fire fighting ever presented a challenge? Cabrera said, “absolutely,” adding she is often met with doubt. “(People forget) female firefighters have to pass all the same tests and perform all the same drills as males. We pass the same academy and we are all very qualified,” she said. These days female captains are found across San Diego stations, just not in big numbers. Out of approximately 1,000 firefighters, there are 50 female captains, Cabrera said. Captain Cabrera extends an invitation to residents to come by the station and say hello or introduce themselves. “Our door is always open,” she said. u n Editor’s Note: La Jolla is served by three fire stations — No. 9 at 7870 Ardath Lane. No. 13 at 809 Nautilus St. No. 16 at 2110 Via Casa Alta. The non-emergency phone number for each is (619) 533-4300.

Support grant arms cancer center’s fight

few months ago, something momentous happened at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. It was months in the making, years in fact. It would fundamentally define the future and nature of the entire cancer enterprise. In July, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) renewed Moores’ Comprehensive Cancer Support Grant (CCSG), a lengthy and extremely rigorous process that involved hundreds of people and many thousands of hours of diligent labor, exhaustive reviews and tours by federal experts. Of course, news of a grant renewal might not seem extraordinary, though frankly in these days of reduced federal support of science (funding and otherwise), it’s noteworthy on many levels. Beyond that, the CCSG is no ordinary grant. It represents the NCI’s acknowledgement that Moores remains among a relative handful of places in the country capable of effectively confronting the myriad challenges of cancer — from understanding what drives this hydra-headed disease to how best to kill it. Moores is one of only 41NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the United States; and the only such center south of Orange County. We serve the combined populations of San Diego and Imperial

counties, more than 3.3 million residents, plus many others who come here from around the country and world seeking our particular care and expertise. To be designated by the NCI as a comprehensive cancer center (the highest level of recognition that the NIH confers), we must demonstrate depth and breadth in laboratory, clinical and population-based research. We must be able to effectively reach out to our community and serve it well. In doing so, we belong to a very elite group of cancer-fighting institutions, one that includes esteemed organizations like Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York, Dana Farber in Massachusetts, MD Anderson in Texas and renowned universitybased centers like Johns Hopkins, Michigan and Ohio State. Of course, there are a lot of places where you can find excellent cancer care, but relatively few with CCSG support that elevates and ensures cancer research and treatment to a higher level. For example, CCSG provides the funds vital to supporting major initiatives like developing genomics to parse the individualized nature of cancer and the critical infrastructure needed to sustain expensive, lengthy studies critical to resolving a very complex family of diseases. With this renewal of our NCI designation

and CCSG, we are able to further develop our community-based programs, such as partnering with specially-identified institutions like San Diego State University to address cancer issues in underserved minority populations, using targeted federal funding. We are the only cancer center in the region that can do so. The NCI is the nation’s clearinghouse for new cancer initiatives, drugs and trials, working in tandem with key organizations like the American Cancer Society and the American Association for Cancer Research. Being NCI-designated means we have a seat at the table. We are directly connected to NCI infrastructure and an official arm of the centralized, publicly funded war on cancer. That means San Diegans have access to the very best cancer research and care possible, sometimes before anyone else. Our NCI designation helps sustain our research excellence. With CCSG support and resources, Moores researchers and doctors can afford to push the envelope, think outside the box, smash the usual clichés of cancer science. We are able to launch new clinical trials and develop new therapies in an unparalleled atmosphere of collaboration. Our clinicians and scientists work under the same roof. They share offices, labs and a cafeteria. They see and talk to each other every day — an exceedingly rare phenomenon in many places. They consult with experts elsewhere on the Mesa, including our partners in the NCI Cancer Centers Council (C3): the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (both also NCIdesignated cancer research centers, but not comprehensive, which means they conduct laboratory research but do not provide patient care). We are able to do things at Moores that

cannot be done anywhere else. An NCI-designation and CCSG renewal reaffirm out magnet status for attracting the best physicians and researchers — and help us keep them. Such things do not pass unnoticed. This year, U.S. News & World Report ranked Moores No. 25 in the nation among cancer centers, up 17 spots from last year. Of course, if we had not earned CCSG renewal, life would have continued. As Ezra Cohen, M.D., one of our newest doctors and an internationally recognized expert in head and neck cancers, told me, we would have found “a way to make good science happen.” But then he added: “Nonetheless, the real strength of an NCI comprehensive cancer center is the ability to generate research that informs biology and apply those findings to the clinic or community. That requires everything that a comprehensive cancer center must have — basic and translational science supported by NCI core facilities; scientifically validated, cutting edge clinical trials; community and epidemiology research to make public health advances; a biorepository available to all researchers within the center and a vehicle to collaborate on projects or consortia that would not otherwise be available.” With the CCSG renewal, all of the above are available and will continue to be available — for the advancement of cancer science and the benefit of our patients. u — Scott M.

From Permit Review, A7 Project representative Matt Peterson said last month La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance city advisory group expressed concern that plans do not call for retail on the ground floor, as required by La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance (or blueprint for development). The group subsequently voted during its Oct. 13 meeting that the project does not conform to the PDO. The city granted the applicant deviations from the PDO retail requirement because a section of city municipal code allows for “reasonable accommodations for the disabled under state and federal law” (the Federal Fair Housing Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act), Peterson said. As such, the city has deemed the project a “Process 1” and the applicant is not technically required to present plans to community groups such as the DPR and PDO committees, or the La Jolla Community Planning Association. There is also no appeal process for Process 1 projects. “As a committee we were not happy that

the approval of deviations was happening as a Process 1 and not subject to community discussion,” said PDO committee chair and architect Ione Stiegler. DPR chair Paul Benton said he was “flabbergasted” that the city allowed the deviations without first seeking community input. Peterson countered that the building was not constructed for retail use, having no side yards or operational windows, no street-facing visibility for retail display, a cumbersome drive-through component, and inadequate off-street parking for a retail, office or restaurant business. The building has sat vacant for two years, Peterson said, adding that the SPA MD operators merely worked around the ground-floor retail requirement by selling lotions in the lobby. Peterson said it would not be practical to run a secure facility for people with Alzheimer’s while operating a retail space that is open to the public. “Without the deviations the residential care facility for the elderly could not safely or efficiently operate, or be designed for residents with Alzheimer’s and memory disabilities,” he told La Jolla Light, via e-mail.

DPR members also expressed concern with the amount of available parking. Peterson later provided the Light with a copy of an off-site parking agreement the SPA MD operators entered into with the city, which transfers to all future owners. The agreement calls for 13 on-site and nine off-site spaces, for a total of 22. Monarch Cottages is proposing 13 on-site spaces and 10 off-site spaces. Although Peterson said the residents don’t drive and thus the parking would be adequate, community member Sally Miller, who for years worked in the senior-care industry, said she doubted parking would be sufficient, and said the Haffners’ estimate of a maximum of eight employees on-site at any time is unrealistic and inadequate. La Jollan Ed Comartin said he was impressed with the project and felt the applicant to be “very sincere,” though was worried that deviating from the PDO could be precedent setting, noting that there are no other residential properties on Fay Avenue between Prospect and Pearl streets. “Why didn’t the city come to us out of courtesy?” he asked. Though Peterson said the applicant has

not yet received the occupancy requirement from the fire marshal, Frank Haffner said his memory care facilities are all one resident per room. “We’ve been doing this for 33 years and we’ve never had any double-ups … with memory care,” he said, noting that residents would not receive medical care on site, only bathing, grooming and help with their daily routines, which would include being accompanied by personal assistants on excursions and “healthy activities that people with cognitive (difficulties) benefit from, rather than sitting in one space and being locked in a facility. ... “Our community is about being in downtown La Jolla and interacting with the community,” he added. DPR member Bob Collins said the proposed location is a “good for the project, as long as you folks are straightforward with us on the numbers.” DPR members asked the applicant to return this week with a copy of the off-site parking agreement, samples of proposed building finishes and staffing requirements. Look for their findings in next week’s edition of La Jolla Light. u

City enters drought alert status

t the recommendation of Mayor Kevin Faulconer, the San Diego City Council voted Monday to enact a Drought Alert status, the second phase of citywide conservation that calls for mandatory water use restrictions to begin Nov. 1 in response to the severe drought conditions statewide. The Drought Alert stage doesn’t contain a sunset clause and will stay in effect as long as the city deems necessary. Relevant to most residents under the Drought Alert stage are the restrictions that mandate assigned watering days, which are dependent on address. There are also restrictions on what time of day residents can water and how long they can water: Residences with odd-numbered addresses: Water only on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays Residences with even-numbered addresses: Water only on Saturdays, Mondays, Wednesdays Apartments, condos and businesses: Water only on Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays

• From Nov. 1 through May 31, water only between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. for only seven minutes at each station when using a standard sprinkler system. • From June 1 through October 31, water only between 6 p.m. and 10 a.m. for only 10 minutes at each station when using a standard sprinkler system. • Use a hand-held hose equipped with a positive shut-off nozzle or timed sprinkler system to water landscaped areas. • Stop operation of ornamental fountains, except to the extent needed for maintenance purposes. • The washing of automobiles, trucks, trailers, airplanes and other types of transportation equipment is only allowed during the following times: • Between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. from Nov. 1 to May 31. • Between 6 p.m. and 10 a.m. from June 1 through Oct. 31.

trends & events La Jolla dentist waging war on bleeding gums In all his years as a dentist, Dr. Joseph D’Angelo cannot tell his patients how important a thorough brushing and teeth cleaning is as problems can erupt if the teeth are not clean. One of the biggest problems is gingivitis or bleeding gums, which is caused by bacteria that lives in dental plaque. “The best thing for patients to do is maintain a good habit of thoroughly cleaning the teeth, gums and tongue with a toothbrush twice per day and dental floss daily,” said D’Angelo. “In addition, regular visits to the dental hygienist every 3-6 months is important. This appointment should include a thorough scaling and polishing, in addition to instruction on how to best manage your specific home care needs and challenges. Careful and thorough technique is most important.” D’Angelo further explained that if gingivitis is not controlled, it may potentially lead to more tense issues. “When gingivitis is present, there exists an unhealthy lining in the gum tissue where the tissue meets the teeth,” he said. “This may exist in hidden areas, especially between the teeth where a toothbrush cannot get. This lining could have millions of tiny ulcerations, which allows bleeding to take place easily. The gum tissues should not bleed when brushing, flossing, or even when the dentist or hygienist is performing a thorough examination of the gums. In addition, gingivitis and periodontal disease do nothing positive for the freshness of your breath.” When the gums bleed easily, then the bacteria from the plaque can get into the bloodstream easily. That’s where other health concerns begin, according to D’Angelo, who added that bacterial pathogens that are typically found in an unhealthy mouth have been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, colon cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, dementia, low birth weight, and other diseases. In D’Angelo’s practice, La Jolla Dentistry (www.joethedentist.com), located at 1111 Torrey Pines Road, Suite 101, in La Jolla, he and his associate Dr. Ashley Olson utilize laser cleanings to help alleviate potential dental issues. “Although the use of lasers in the treatment of gum disease is no magic wand, their use as an adjunct to traditional procedures of scaling and root planing may have some benefit,” said D’Angelo. “In our office, we have been using the laser following the root planing procedure and at follow-up appointments.” A low power application of a diode laser may be beneficial in reducing the bacterial load in and around the dental gum margin prior to dental cleanings and periodontal therapy. This is being done in an effort to help reduce the amount of bacteria entering the bloodstream during a cleaning appointment and the presence of gingivitis. “Our patients’ experiences have been extremely positive, with many reporting a reduction in discomfort following non-surgical periodontal therapy.”

One Dig, No Bridge

Faulconer talks infrastructure at La Jolla UTC meeting By Ashley Mackin s part of his ongoing community forums, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer stopped by UTC Oct. 6 to discuss infrastructure in District 1. The mayor’s focus was on his new policies and University City issues, such as traffic and the Regents Road Bridge. Introducing the mayor, District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner, said “The topic this evening is something that is near and dear to all of our hearts, and tires, and that’s infrastructure. This is our opportunity to hear from the city’s mayor about his top infrastructure priorities, as well as for you to let Mayor Faulconer know what matters to you.” Lightner said she sat with Faulconer for six years on the San Diego City Council, and can attest to his awareness of neighborhood issues. While on the Council, Faulconer said he spent “a number of years trying to turn this ship around so we have the dollars we need and put them where they are going to get the most use.” During his 2013 mayoral campaign, Faulconer proposed the “Neighborhoods First” program, recommending that 50 percent of new General Fund revenue go toward street and neighborhood improvements. In implementing the program, Faulconer launched new policies for filling potholes, utility repair and street repaving. “How we deliver our services is important to me, as is being more efficient with the dollars you are sending to City Hall,” he said. Addressing the new way the city is repairing potholes, he said, “Before, it used to be that crews would come out and fix the ones on the complaint list, and perhaps drive by ones that were not on the complaint list. Now crews can fix the pothole on the list and fix the ones they happen to see in the neighborhood. That does not cost us a dollar

more, but we are filling more potholes than we ever have.” Further, he discussed his One Dig policy of completing multiple utility repair projects in the same area at once. “It used to be that a city department would come in and fix something (under the street) and then another department would come in and tear is back up again,” he said. “Let’s get everyone in one room – sewer, water, utilities, storm-water, sidewalks – and dig up the street once and apply a moratorium after where you cannot come back in there and tear up that street or sidewalk.” He also said with all new jobs, once the repairs are done, the street would be completely repaved “curb to curb.” B:10.58” Attendees were encouraged to write questions for the T:10.33” mayor, and many opted to comment on the city’s decision S:10.33”

to cancel construction of the proposed Regents Road Bridge. The bridge, planned since the 1980s, would have crossed Rose Canyon Open Space Park to fill a break in Regents Road. Faulconer announced in late September that the city would no longer pursue the idea. Instead, he said additional effort would go toward traffic studies and better Fire Department response times, including plans to build a new fire station in University City, covering the southern area of UTC. The station currently serving the area is Station 35, at Genesee Avenue and Eastgate Mall, whose engine conducted more than 3,700 runs in 2014. Per a request from the audience, the traffic study would be conducted during peak hours with real data instead of projections. u

Embrace empowerment at Armone’s Core Connection By Marti Gacioch While Armone Sullivan began fitness training as a child ballerina dealing with an eating disorder, learning Pilates empowered her to shift her focus to a far healthier lifestyle as an adult. “I grew up with anorexia, and it got progressively worse in my early 20s and I lost a kidney,” Sullivan said. “While in my disease, I used fitness as a way to be thin, not healthy.” Finding Pilates quickly changed her life and her lifestyle, she said. “When I started Pilates, I realized that Pilates is a mind-body connection and it became a spiritual thing for me.” Sullivan went through years of traditional psychotherapy but nothing helped her make the mind-body connection before she found Pilates, she explained. “I became empowered and was able to connect with the mind-body and appreciate how my body worked and see the changes in my body in a healthy way instead of just trying to do a lot of cardio and burning calories,” Sullivan said. More than that, Sullivan wanted to share her life-changing experience with others, so she became a Pilates instructor to pass on its

power. “I wanted to empower people and let them know that whatever they’re going through in life, whether it’s stress or an eating disorder, Pilates will empower them and force them to be present in body and mind,” she said. To Sullivan, the physical benefits of Pilates

are obvious, but learning to “be present” is equally essential to healthy living. “We’re so distracted with our phones, apps and gadgets that it’s like everyone has A.D.D.,” Sullivan said. “People are so busy multitasking that they give 50 percent to one thing and 50 percent to another, but

not 100 percent to anything. But when you’re in my gym with me, you’re going to be present. I’m not just changing your body, I’m changing your mind.” Sullivan, who has taught Pilates for 15 years, now has 300 clients and a staff of 10 trainers — several left the corporate world behind to train people and embrace Pilates fitness as a lifestyle. “Once someone joins my gym, they rarely leave because it’s a great environment where they’re working out with their friends,” Sullivan said. “We’re a family and truly care about each other — not just in the gym, but beyond the gym.” Through November, Armone’s Core Connection is offering new members three free classes in everything the gym provides, including Pilates, indoor cycling, boxing, circuit training and stretching. New clients will also receive one private 60-minute Pilates session with Sullivan. n Armone’s Core Connection is at 7438 Girard Ave. in La Jolla.

he following sentence in the recent Business Spotlight on La Jolla Oral and Facial Plastic Surgery was incorrect: “We’ve placed thousands of implants and our newest machine makes a custom crown and the abutment in just one visit.” Dr. Albert Lin and Dr. Robert Gramins of La Jolla Oral and Facial Plastic Surgery corrected the sentence to read: “We have placed thousands of implants, but do not have a new machine that makes crowns and abutments, nor do we want one or will ever invest in one in the future. We prefer to leave that in the hands of the many skilled colleagues we work with who are experts in the area of placing crowns, and instead stick to our own specialty, surgery.” n La Jolla Oral and Facial Surgery, 7855 Fay Ave., Suite 240, La Jolla.

Thoughts on the Oct. 29 JLCPA special meeting Guest Commentary By Rob Whittemore, Bob Collins, Mike Costello, Phil Merten and Cynthia Bond La Jolla Community Planning Association Trustees

t the March 2014 annual election of trustees for the La Jolla Community Planning Association, the membership elected seven out of the nine candidates running to serve as trustees. As Michael Morton received the lowest number of votes, he was not elected. Later, in July 2014, a second election was held to fill two new vacancies. Having not been elected, Morton ran again. The membership soundly rejected his bid, and he again received the lowest number of votes cast. The La Jolla Association, founded by Bob Whitney, filed a challenge to the March election. After investigating the allegations, the officers of the LJCPA rejected the challenge. The La Jolla Association then appealed its challenge to the mayor’s office. Without any investigation, and in disregard of the LJCPA Bylaws, William Fulton, Director of Planning, Neighborhoods and Economic Development (who has since left his job to serve in another city), stated that city staff recommends the LJCPA seat Morton claiming the LJCPA had violated its own Bylaws. On Sept. 4, the LJCPA trustees voted overwhelmingly to reject Fulton’s recommendation and to affirm the elections of both March and July by a vote of 10-1 (with four abstentions). But that was not the end of the matter. City staff threatened to schedule the matter of decertification of the LJCPA on the city council agenda should the LJCPA refuse to seat Morton. Finally, a meeting of the LJCPA officers was scheduled (Oct. 13) with the mayor’s office. After discussion, the mayor’s staff suggested the LJCPA could avoid decertification by creating a

La Jolla Community Planning Association 19th seat for Morton and the meeting was adjourned. In order to eliminate any future confusion in the voting process, an ad hoc committee had already been appointed at the Oct. 2 LJCPA meeting to clarify the Bylaws. The trustees believed this would be an effective solution to avoid any future problems of this nature. Incredibly, on Oct. 14, the day following the meeting at the mayor’s office, the LJCPA president called two special meetings of the LJCPA, a general membership meeting to be followed immediately by a meeting of the trustees. These are scheduled for 6 p.m. Oct. 29 at the La Jolla Rec Center. The stated purpose of the membership meeting is to consider adopting the following unnecessary and compromising amendment to the LJCPA Bylaws by adding the words in bold: “The LJCPA Board of Trustees shall consist of a total of 18 trustees, except that for the period Nov. 1, 2014 through April 1, 2015 there shall be 19 trustees. The additional trustee shall be known as the ‘19th trustee.’ ” The meeting of the trustees is then to consider the following ill-conceived and manipulative question: “In order to resolve the dispute with the city shall the LJCPA accept the city’s compromise solution and seat Michael Morton as the ‘19th trustee’ pending city approval of the amended bylaws?” To insist on seating an individual whom the

voters did not elect is a compromise on the basic principles of democracy. The LJCPA president has unnecessarily and inappropriately reignited a quelled controversy. Not only is he exacerbating the situation, the president is wasting the time and energy of concerned La Jolla residents. On his own and without the authority to do so, the president has rejected the will of the LJCPA electorate as well as the adopted motions of the trustees. Seemingly, the only explanation for the president’s action is to appease Morton and other members of city staff who are trying to thwart the vote of the LJCPA membership by forcing Morton’s appointment. The independence of the LJCPA from the executive branch of government is at stake. The LJCPA is not an arm of city Planning Department. Rather, it is an independent California non-profit corporation that has chosen to serve the City of San Diego by adhering to policies set by the city council. The LJCPA is part of the legislative branch of government and is not subject to the dictates of the executive branch. City staff should let the LJCPA conduct its own elections and interpret its own bylaws and respect the fact the trustees overwhelmingly voted that the LJCPA has abided by its bylaws. The LJCPA promotes the successful implementation of the Progress Guide and General Plan of the City of San Diego by applying personal knowledge of the needs and aspirations of the La Jolla community. According to the ordinance indemnifying the LJCPA, the LJCPA is of “inestimable value to the citizens of the City of San Diego.” This great value to San Diego is lost if special interests can evade the will of the LJCPA electorate by turning the LJCPA into a puppet of city staff. We urge all members of the LJCPA to attend the Oct. 29 Special Meeting and soundly reject the proposed bylaw amendment. The president certainly understands that he serves the membership and trustees, not the special interests now at work. u

La Jolla must reinvent its brand or face the worst

Keep the facts straight in parade name arguments I love the La Jolla Christmas Parade; I participated in it many years ago (1950s). I do not think the name should be changed. That said, a letter in the Oct. 16 issue is wrong in so many respects that it calls for some clarification. 1. The First Amendment has nothing to do with this issue; Congress isn’t going to be

making any laws on this issue. 2. The reference to “atheists and agnostics” seems deliberately obtuse and disingenuous, since the most persistent proponent of name change is of the Jewish faith — hardly an atheist or agnostic. 3. It’s hard to discern the exact meaning of the sentence that says, “Two centuries ago, a group of distinguished men (philosophers, doctors, artists and scientists) ... established a mini-paradise ... that gave La Jolla a precedent.” This event may have happened somewhere, but it certainly didn’t happen in La Jolla, which was founded much later by a real estate speculator and land investor. 4. Finally, no one is attempting to “assassinate our villagers’ rights.” (It’s doubtful that rights can be “assassinated.”) I support the parade under its long-time name, but I do not think that this type of “support,” which is totally divorced from reality, is of much value to anyone. BG Davis La Jolla

My husband and I moved into our Village of La Jolla home in July 2013. We are shocked at how many businesses have left town over the last year and a quarter, with too few new businesses replacing them. The increasing number of empty storefronts communicates that La Jolla is a declining community, not unlike a mall with too many empty stores. Yet rather than rally around the problem, we observe the lack of Village resident support for bike sharing and other mass transit that would attract more visitors; Von’s bullying of local shoppers who want to combine a grocery run with other local errands; and merchants wanting to add parking meters, none of which make sense in light of the high vacancy rate. Other San Diego communities are go-to locations for ethnic food, entertainment, unique home furnishings, etc. La Jolla needs its businesses and landlords to work together to

affirm or reposition La Jolla’s desired brand image, and then craft a plan to attract and retain businesses that fit that brand. And residents should “buy local,” more often. Earning back customers is far harder than working to attract and retain them. And downward cycles build momentum that can take decades to reverse, something landlords should think about as they set retail rents. Kay Plantes La Jolla

Our READERS WRITE (Continued)

La Jolla Christmas Parade’s ‘holiday’ tag is window dressing “Now let’s keep the charm alive and the Christmas Parade as nothing but that, the Christmas Parade” is a quote from a letter writer in the Oct. 16 issue. I wholeheartedly agree and feel the intentionally misleading and window-dressing word “holiday” be eliminated! In the press release printed about the parade in the Oct. 9 La Jolla Light, the news source is listed as “From Christmas Parade Reports,” and the accompanying photo of the parade banner reads, “The La Jolla Christmas Parade.” There is no mention of the word “holiday” in either. In the 2014 parade theme, “Christmas Spirit: Peace on Earth” and the 2013 parade theme, “Christmas in the Surf and Sand,” where is the word “holiday” stated? The press release also stated “ …with no public money.” But, for many years, public money was provided to the La Jolla Christmas Parade by the County Board of Supervisors. The word “holiday” was added in 2005 as window dressing after the second of four editorials was published recommending the La Jolla parade name be changed to “make everyone feel welcome.” I challenge the La Jolla Christmas Parade event chair and foundation, and the La Jolla Light to stop referring to this December event as the “La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival.” It has always

required courage and honesty to tell the truth. Please have the intestinal fortitude and return to the 1950-2004 name, “La Jolla Christmas Parade.” Howard G. Singer, La Jolla San Diego County Diversity & Inclusiveness Group

Off-leash hours supporters need to curb ‘twisted’ logic You have to love the chutzpah of the LOLA supporters regarding the potential danger of off-leash dogs to people: “these residents could go to a different beach.” This boils down to: if I choose to put you at risk (or do anything that bothers you or makes you uncomfortable), you can just go somewhere else. Amazingly twisted reasoning. u David Rearwin La Jolla

dvocates for beach access at the Children’s Pool in La Jolla said Oct. 21 they filed a lawsuit challenging the city of San Diego’s decision to prohibit people from venturing onto the sand at the scenic spot beginning Dec. 15. The Friends of the Children’s Pool filed in San Diego Superior Court in hopes of getting the City Council’s action invalidated before the closure takes effect, Ken Hunrichs, the group’s president, told City News Service. Plaintiff’s lawyer Bernard King could not be reached for comment on the lawsuit, which was filed earlier this month. The Children’s Pool has been a source of controversy since the early 1990s, when harbor seals began making use of it to give birth to and wean their young. The beach was deeded to the city in 1931 as a safe swimming area for youth. Prompted by reports that people were mistreating the marine mammals, the City Council in March voted to close the beach from Dec. 15 to May 15, which is pupping season for the seals. The California Coastal Commission gave its stamp of approval two months ago. A rope barrier is planned at the Children’s Pool the rest of the time to discourage people from harassing seals. Activists on behalf of the seals say there are perfectly good beaches nearby. Hunrichs, however, said La Jolla residents have made it clear that they want access to the sand at the Children’s Pool. — City News Service

Post office update Nearly three years ago the USPS announced it planned to relocate retail operations from La Jolla’s historic post office at 1140 Wall St. and sell the building to make up for a cash flow crisis in the quasigovernmental agency. Earlier this year, Congress inserted a

moratorium on the sale of historic post offices in an omnibus appropriations bill until completion of audits on the relocation and sale/disposal of historic post offices (which are now done). Although the USPS is technically free to again move forward with historic post office sales, Eva Jackson, a communications programs specialist for USPS in San Diego, said USPS has not yet located an alternate site to relocate retail operations from the Wall Street facility and, until it does, won’t move forward with the sale (to be handled by a local office of CBRE commercial real estate). The USPS is also seeking an alternate site for its annex at 720 Silver St. (just off Draper Avenue). The 10,143 square-foot property, which the USPS has leased since 1975 to sort mail for 40 letter carriers, sold for $6.8 million earlier this year, and will redeveloped as town homes (along with the adjacent property at 7601 Draper Ave., now home to the Animal Hospital of La Jolla, which is in negotiations to lease another space in La Jolla). USPS’s lease on the annex expires in July 2015. “In the case of the carrier annex, we have the right to ‘holdover,’ which means to stay in the space despite not having a lease,” Jackson said. “We would incur financial penalties which we do not want, so we are actively looking for another location.” Although USPS has said it is seeking to move its Wall Street retail services to a space within a mile of its current site, Jackson said the letter-carrier annex could be moved outside La Jolla.

Kellogg Park comfort station opening Oct. 30 Friends of La Jolla Shores will host a ribboncutting ceremony at noon Thursday, Oct. 30, to open the newest restroom at Kellogg Park. The family of the late John G. Watson, who donated the funds to build the facility, will be in attendance from England, as will friends from Hawaii. The facility is located at the north end of Kellogg Park, and will have

a surfing etiquette mural.

La Jolla High School plans pass muster During its Oct. 14 meeting, members of La Jolla’s Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) approved plans submitted by La Jolla High School to vacate an unused water easement that was once the site of a water main abandoned in 2001. School officials are seeking to build a concession stand and restroom atop the easement to serve its adjacent sports field.

The Division of State Architecture has already approved the building designs. La Jollan Ed Comartin expressed concern with the location of the concession stand and restroom in relation to a proposed multi-million-dollar biosciences building at La Jolla High, though that project has not yet reached the design phase, it was noted. “What I’m afraid is that you guys haven’t coordinated,” Comartin said. “You have no idea what they’re doing, and (the school may) end up tearing down what you did.” The motion that the findings could be made for the easement vacation passed 4-1 with DPR member Jim Ragsdale opposing. u

Inspiring day of stamina at Triathlon Challenge S an Diego-based Challenged Athletes Foundation, a leader in helping individuals with physical challenges get involved in sports, welcomed supporters and participants to La Jolla Cove for its 21st annual Aspen Medical Products San Diego Triathlon Challenge Oct. 19. The sold-out, daylong event was expected to raise more than $1 million to help physically challenged individuals get the support needed to succeed in sports and in

life. Some 200 challenged athletes competed side-by-side with 500 able-bodied athletes through the signature “challenge” distance triathlon course in the Cove — a 1-mile swim, 44-mile bike ride and 10-mile run. Supporters also took part in the festivities through the 24-Hour Fitness Tour de Cove, a 4.5-hour stationary cycling marathon, and the Kaiser Permanente Thrive-5K Fitness Walk. challengedathletes.org u

Church hosts African-themed ‘Imagine No Malaria’ party By Sandy Coler For the past several months, La Jolla United Methodist Church (LJUMC), along with other churches of the UMC denomination, have been raising awareness and collecting donations to reduce malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. The “Imagine No Malaria” (INM) campaign launched at LJUMC on Easter Sunday and ended with an African-themed celebration Sept. 28. Nearly 150 people attended, and all enjoyed a buffet of chicken curry, fried plantains and other samplings catered by Tanganyika Grill-The Taste of Africa.

A Sheryl Crow-autographed guitar also got lots of action. Donations were generously offered by many La Jolla and San Diego businesses and museums. Children enjoyed pony rides and a petting zoo with chickens, rabbits, a goat and a pig. An old-fashioned dunk tank had kids from age 3 up to baby boomers getting in on the fun. Boy Scouts in uniform and kids in street clothes stood patiently in line to be dunked! The activities were planned by the

INM committee, headed by Pastor Walter Dilg and Roger Wiggins, Dr. Jim Connor, Dr. Sal Butera, Nursery School director Bridget Musante, and Boy Scout Leader Jacques Naviaux. Women of the church provided beautiful decorations. Volunteers from Boy Scout Troop 506 helped with set up, food service and assisting with kids’ activities. Bridget Musante, Joyce Drozda, Tina Wynn, Melissa Toppi and Jennifer Nakorchevsky headed up the silent auction. Proceeds from the event netted an additional $6,000 to the amount raised during the INM campaign, which enabled LJUMC to surpass its campaign goal by 67 percent. u

Poetry, art and people sustain Dennis Ellman

Masters of Musicals

ennis Ellman runs a public relations company in La Jolla and makes time to give back to the community. He is on the board of McAlister Institute, San Diego’s largest alcohol and other drug treatment center, which provides support to more than 2,500 adults and teens each month. Ellman said he saw the devastating consequences of substance abuse close to home and wanted to be a part of what McAlister Institute was doing to positively impact the community. Also an artist, he has Dennis Ellman auctioned off his work at several McAlister events. On Nov. 23, he will serve a Thanksgiving lunch at its long-term residential treatment program for women, Kiva. He is also involved with San Diego Rescue Mission’s Thanksgiving meal that feeds some 2,000 homeless individuals. Ellman is a widely published poet and spent 14 years as a professor of English and creative writing at UC Irvine; Santa Monica College; Loyola Marymount University; Pepperdine University and San Diego State University. He has shown his artwork in galleries throughout San Diego and the United States. What brought you to La Jolla? Convenience: to be near home in a wonderful work environment. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I’d improve access into/out of the city! I’d also work to find a solution for homelessness and addiction. I’d add a great/quirky art supply store … an acoustic guitar center would be nice, too. Who or what inspires you? So many things. My wife and children. Friendships. Art museums: Impressionism and abstract art. Music.

Composer Alan Menken, director Scott Schwartz, lyricist Stephen Schwartz and librettist Peter Parnell collaborate on La Jolla Playhouse’s production of ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame,’ running in the Mandell Weiss Theatre Oct. 26-Dec. 14. Courtesy

Menken/Schwartz lead team bringing U.S. premiere for ‘Hunchback of Notre Dame’ to La Jolla Playhouse By Daniel K. Lew he famed bells of Notre Dame Cathedral will soon ring in La Jolla in the form of the U.S. premiere of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” musical. Giving birth to the likely “Disney-animation classic turned into a future Broadway smash” is the multiple Oscar, Grammy and Tony Award-winning team of composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, featuring a book by Peter Parnell and directed by Scott Schwartz. Produced by special arrangement with Disney Theatrical Productions, the musical runs in La Jolla Playhouse’s Mandell Weiss Theatre Oct. 26-Dec. 14. Based on Victor Hugo’s classic 1831 novel and featuring an Oscar-nominated score from the 1996 Disney animated film, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” is the only stage collaboration from two masters of American musical theater — composer Menken and lyricist Schwartz — although both previously teamed up for three Disney films: “Pocahantas,”

“Enchanted” and “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Menken, 65, has won 11 Grammys, eight Oscars, seven Golden Globes; received five Tony nominations (finally winning for “Newsies”) and is best known for composing the stage-and-screen scores for “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin,” “The Little Mermaid,” and “Little Shop of Horrors.” Menken said the La Jolla Playhouse production of Hunchback contains several new songs and will be darker and more character-focused than the animated film. Stephen Schwartz, 66, has earned four Grammys, three Oscars, a Golden Globe; received six Tony nominations and possesses Broadway fame as composer and lyricist for “Wicked,” “Pippin” and “Godspell.” He said a U.S. stage adaption of “Hunchback” was inevitable after the 1996 Disney film was first created into a German-language musical in 1999 as “Der Glöckner von Notre Dame” (translated in English as “The Bell-ringer of Notre Dame”)

using the Menken/Schwartz score. La Jolla Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley said, “I look forward to collaborating with this powerhouse creative team to bring Victor Hugo’s classic story to life. I am particularly intrigued by the musical’s themes of love and aloneness, obsession and heroism — themes that still resonate with our audiences today.” New York-based actor Erik Liberman — who plays Clopin, the King of the Gypsies, in Hunchback — said it’s an honor to perform in a new, American musical by Menken and Schwartz. “I don’t know how these men do it, but they craft a perfect marriage of lyric and melody that really penetrates the heart. It’s something they have mastered and I don’t think anyone will go away from the show feeling anything less than blown away from what they’ve accomplished,” said Liberman, comparing the experience to “when they were making ‘West Side Story’

Have you heard the one about…

La Jolla Cultural Partners

here’s just something about six-yearolds and jokes. My grandson was visiting recently and I couldn’t help but notice that he was really into the joke and riddle phase. What I also couldn’t help but notice was that the jokes haven’t changed since his dad, Rory, was six, or even when I was. Actually, the worst culprit was Rory’s younger brother, Henry, who pretty much made all of us insane for his entire first grade year with his passion for jokes. A typical interchange over breakfast: Henry: “Know what time it is?” Rory: “Don’t encourage him, Mom. He’ll stop if we ignore him.” Henry (hardly able to contain himself): “It’s the same time as it was yesterday!” Henry had acquired several kiddie joke and riddle books and regaled us at every meal with an endless litany of awful jokes until Rory finally turned to me one night and said, “Can I hurt him, Mom?” (I was actually tempted to say yes.) But even at the time, I couldn’t help but wonder if this were not my father exacting karmic revenge on me. The summer between my freshman and sophomore years in college, I worked in New York City as

meal with an endless litany of awful jokes.

summer fill-in at Scholastic Magazines, which also published youth market books and magazines. One of their kiddie magazines (I think it was My Weekly Reader) had a joke column theoretically written by this cute little dinosaur named “Funny Bones” to whom children could submit jokes for publication. Old FB had gotten quite backlogged and they needed someone to come in and read his mail then write back to these kids. Well, as opposed to typing manuscripts with eight carbons, this sounded really fun. I still think back on it as My Summer as a Male Dinosaur. What they didn’t tell me when I sat down at the Funny Bones’ desk and confronted a literally three-foot-high pile of mail that I was tasked to answer was that 75 percent of the kids sent in the same three jokes: 1) Why did the chicken cross the road? (You know the answer.) 2) Why did the moron throw the clock? (Yawn. To see time fly.) 3) What’s black and white and re(a)d all over? (A newspaper.) At least 10 percent more were jokes that the kids had made up that you apparently had to be under 9 to get: Q: “What did the cat say?” A: “I am a silly milly.” Or, “What did the oatmeal cookie say to the cake?”

Answer: “Hi cake.” Lots and lots of jokes like that. Some of them were even kind of cute: “What has eight wheels and goes ding dong?” A: “The Avon lady on roller skates.” Or, “What do you call Batman and Robin when they get runned [sic] over?” A: “Flatman and Ribbon.” Then there were the “trick ya” varieties, but I caught on pretty quick. I wasn’t going to an Ivy League school for nothing. (Q: “Name five animals that live in the Arctic.” A: “Four polar bears and a walrus.”) Some of them sent in jokes they’d heard Daddy tell that Penthouse wouldn’t have printed. I would write back and thank little Joey for his jokes and inquire how all the boys and girls in Mrs. Holtzer’s room were doing. No computers then, so every response had to be individually composed. After about a week on this job, the jokes these kids sent in actually started to sound

funny. I would sit at my desk and laugh myself silly, while the other personnel cast me worried glances. (They didn’t say where the person who normally had this job was; I was guessing Bellevue.) By the end of the second week, I was absolutely punchy. I used to sit on the commuter train with my father at night regaling him with these inane jokes and laughing hysterically. Finally my father said, “I am not going to sit with you if you tell me even one more Funny Bones joke.” “But Dad,” I said, “you’re gonna love this one. What’s red on the outside and gray on the inside? Dad? Dad?” And thus I found myself alone. Dad never did find out that it was Campbell’s Cream of Elephant soup. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

The new 360-degree bar is situated in the middle of the restaurant.

Kona Kai Resort updates its ‘Vessel’ By Kelley Carlson essel at Kona Kai has changed course, with a new look and new menu items. The resort restaurant — which has been around for decades — was recently refreshed with a 360-degree bar in the center of the dining room, and a glass wall that allows everyone to look out over the yacht-filled marina, not just patio patrons. When live bands play, the scene can become lively as guests sway to the rhythms, encouraged by the balmy bay breeze and a few handcrafted cocktails. Among the most popular libations: Bee’s Knees, a sweet concoction of the floral-forward Nolet’s gin, fresh-pressed lemon and honey; and large punch bowls filled with adult beverages such as Mai Tai and Seasonal Sangria, suitable for sharing among groups. For its menu, Vessel presents “New American” cuisine using seasonal ingredients. When visitors are first seated, they’re brought an array of complimentary breads that can be slathered with butter sprinkled with pink Hawaiian sea salt.

On The Menu Recipe n The Recipe of the Week is

Vessel’s Jarrahdale Pumpkin Tagliatelle Find it at the bottom of the online version of this story at lajollalight.com or visit www.bit.ly/otmrestaurants While eyeing the listings for “small plates,” patrons will find selections such as Reuben and Lobster sliders, and a New England Style Clam Chowder that is highly touted by staff member (and former Cape Cod resident) Peter Schloerb. There’s also a

Lobster Mac ‘N’ Cheese, featuring shells covered in four cheeses, topped with sweet pieces of lobster meat. But the most requested item is the Tuna Tataki, in which sliced ahi alternates with avocado slices on a bed of julienne-style cucumber tossed with miso, garnished with sweet chili sauce and micro cilantro. The plate’s corners have mango cubes and tiny jalapeño rings for a sweet-and-spicy touch. There are also sizable salads, including the Kale Caesar and the Mizuna, the latter interspersed with strawberries and chevre cheese, sprinkled with crispy shallots and dressed with balsamic. When it comes to the “large plates,” one that causes some jaws to drop is the 14-ounce bone-in Pork Chop. At about 1.5-inches thick, the juicy meat is covered in sour cherry pork glace, and is surrounded by caramelized Brussels sprouts, full-flavored sweet cipollini onions and poached apple slices. Another attention-getter is the Short Rib, which slides off the bone after being braised for four to five hours at a low

Any of these entrees pair well with a glass of the velvety, mediumbodied Trione pinot noir. For a fun little side diversion, guests can order a small silver bucket full of Truffle Fries that are well-seasoned with truffle oil, Parmesan and chives. Diners who leave room for dessert will discover choices such as the “shell” of soft Belgian Chocolate Ganache sprinkled with French sea salt, which can be eaten by the spoonful or spread on the EVOO-drizzled grilled sourdough that accompanies it. Those who order it will find that the Amaretto di Saronno liqueur enhances the flavors. Guests who desire something lighter will find contentment in the airy Key Lime Pie. Brunch is available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays, which features bottomless mimosas and a Make Your Own Bloody Mary Bar. Food is ordered a la carte and priced by the plate. u

Harvard Cookin’ Girl hosts Iron Chef: Knife Fight By Ashley Mackin a Jolla’s Harvard Cookin’ Girl cooking school hosted an “Iron Chef: Knife Fight” event Oct. 13, pitting against each other two chefs hoping to win a spot in the World Food Championships (WFC) in Las Vegas. Participation in WFC is sponsored by ChefRoll, a networking site for chefs. Mikel Anthony of Ronin Ramen House and RoseAna Peyron of Counterpoint restaurant squared off, each making two dishes — one with Hiramasa (Baja yellowtail) and one with pork. Prior to serving the judges and diners seated in the intimate back dining room of the kitchen at 7441 Girard Ave., the chefs demonstrated how they made each dish and what the components were, while their sous chefs made portions for everyone. In the end, the winning team was Peyron and her assistants Robert Ramos and Ian Carroll. Iron Chef events happen once every few months, said Harvard Cookin Girl owner Bibi Kasrai.

They Can Fly!

J*Company stages youth production of ‘Peter Pan’ By Ashley Mackin f the 88 young actors following the second star to the right and straight on ‘till morning in J*Company’s production of “Peter Pan,” nine of them are from La Jolla, including the young leading lady. Gabi Leibowitz of La Jolla Shores plays Wendy Moira Angela Darling in the musical, which opens Oct. 25 and runs through Nov. 9 at the Garfield Theatre at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center. Having seen the Disney movie (many times), Leibowitz said the tale is one of her

favorites. “It’s just such a beautiful story and it’s going to be a great production,” she said. “There are lots of super talented kids with great costumes and high production value.” To prepare for the role, Leibowitz first had to work on her English accent and practice singing, but thankfully there has been a lot of rehearsal time. “I love going to rehearsals,” she said. “I love seeing everyone come together and see what they bring to the table.” Joining Leibowitz in the cast are Lindsay Gartner, Gali Laska, Lauren Levi, Charles Lester, Gia Marino, Eliana Nahl, Faith Nibbe

and Mac Simpson, of La Jolla. Directed by Joey Landwehr, the production has a special focus: your mother and mine. Using the script and songs as inspiration, Landwehr asked his cast to compile a list of all the things, big and small, made possible because of their mothers, noting how mom has helped them accomplish their dreams. From their lists, the actors created a letter, poem or song telling their mothers how grateful they are for her efforts. Leibowitz, who sings the song, “Your Mother and Mine,” praised Landwehr for his

approach to working with children. “He is just so creative and so good at working with kids and helping them all shine,” she said. The score also includes new arrangements of the Disney songs, including “Following The Leader,” “You Can Fly” and “Yo Ho, A Pirate’s Life For Me.” The Company will perform for patients at Rady’s Children’s Hospital, 7 p.m. Nov. 6. u n IF YOU GO: “Disney’s Peter Pan” runs Oct. 25-Nov. 9 (times vary) at Garfield Theatre, JCC, 4126 Executive Drive.

‘Comedy Warriors’ are veterans at getting laughs By David L. Coddon hat’s more terrifying? The battlefield or the stage of a comedy club? Joe Kashnow, an Army veteran who served in Iraq for six months in 2003, has experience with both, and he says at times, the comedy stage is scarier. “In combat,” Kashnow says, “I can shoot back.” Rimshot, please. Kashnow, now 36, is a veteran of both combat and standup comedy, but that’s only part of his story. Injured by a roadside bomb while serving in Iraq, he lost his right leg. But determined to “not throw myself a pity party” when he was sent home, Kashnow soon got a job working for the government as a physical security specialist. Then, in 2011, fate came calling. “There was an e-mail sent out by the Wounded Warrior Project, saying they’d been approached by some filmmakers about veterans who wanted to do standup,” Kashnow recalls. “I’d always wanted to but I never saw an opportunity to make it work.” He sent in his tape and a month later Kashnow was selected to be part of what would become an award-winning, inspirational documentary called “Comedy Warriors.” Kashnow is one of five severely injured American veterans featured in the film, which chronicles their backstories and then their training in the art of standup comedy. In the film, which culminates with their performances at top L.A. comedy clubs The Improv and the Laugh Factory, the wounded warriors work with professional comedy writers and with a heavyweight foursome of established comedians: Lewis Black, Zach Galifianakis, Bob Saget and B.J. Novak. The San Diego Jewish Film Festival screening of “Comedy Warriors” will be 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29 at the Garfield Theatre. “I was absolutely terrified the first time I went up on stage,” says Kashnow, “and that lasted for quite a while. Now I’ve become more comfortable.” So comfortable that Kashnow has continued to do

standup after the filming wrapped in late 2012 and says, “at this point I’ve got 40 minutes worth of pretty solid material.” “Comedy Warriors” has been a hit on the film festival circuit, winning top prizes at the Palm Beach International Film Festival (where it premiered), the San Antonio Film Festival, the Middleburg (Va.) Film Festival, the Gold Coast International Film Festival on Long Island and the Naples (Fla.) International Film Festival. All of which makes producer/director John Wager duly proud. But it’s the film’s message and the relationships he forged with the injured veterans that mean the most to him. “This was a once-in-alifetime thing that was bigger than the film itself,” said Wager by phone from upstate New York. “It was an honor to be a part of it. Our hope is to raise awareness of what these men and women are going through when they come back.” Getting the film off the ground, Wager recalled, included a lot of ambitious phone calls (“You’re asking people to do things for free”) and, he admits, a little uncertainty. “We paired (the veterans) up with professional writers and we really didn’t know whether it was going to work. We thought ‘We could do this and nobody laughs.’ ”

Wager and his filmmaking team needn’t have worried. “We had a press conference and flew all the guys in and we did all the initial interviews. None of them knew each other. Within a half-day there was nothing sacred with them. They would make fun of anything and everything. They all used humor to release the tension. That becomes infectious.” Wager remembered that Kashnow was one of the veterans with the worst case of stage fright, but “he was also one of the best prepared.” Getting laughs while on stage was much appreciated, but Kashnow says that the reaction to the film from audiences after they’ve seen it is even better. “The feedback you get is always heartwarming and supportive,” he says. Some of that positive feedback has come from people who weren’t in the military but who have debilitating injuries themselves. “That’s something that’s really indescribable, the emotion that can make you feel.” u n If you go: “Comedy Warriors — Healing though Humor,” screens 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29 at Garfield Theatre, Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla.

Weather-cancelled Jewel Ball nets $881,000 for nonprofits By Ashley Mackin lthough the Las Patronas new member lunch Oct. 15 at the La Jolla Country Club inducted nine new members into the philanthropic organization, the true cause for celebration was the announcement of proceeds from the August 2014 Jewel Ball, “Moonlit Mambo,” which had to be cancelled just hours before guests arrived due to rain storms. It was the first such cancellation in La Patronas’ 68-year history. Nevertheless, Moonlit Mambo raised $881,045 through online auction bids, donations and underwriting commitments. Outgoing Las Patronas president Jena Joyce called the inclident “the most heartbreaking first” for the organization. Praising Moonlit Mambo chair Susie Piegza, she added, “She did what no other ball chair has ever had to do, and I hope no other ball chair ever has to do again. But Susie truly showed that she is the epitome of grace under fire. Or in her case, grace under water. We were lucky to have her at the helm.”

Piegza proceeded to show slides depicting what would have been the Jewel Ball, including people setting up and then covering everything with plastic in the hope the rain would stop. After a standing ovation from attendees, Piegza explained the auction typically held at the event went online to generate contributions. Flowers ordered for decorations went to local convalescent homes and food from the event was donated to So Others May Eat, a previous Las Patronas beneficiary that provides food to homeless people in San Diego, and assists with finding housing and services. “We were uncharted territory, and we came together to carry on in Las Patronas fashion. The outpouring of support that came forth was incredible. We received so many heartfelt letters and e-mails — and even received unsolicited underwriting donations,” Piegza said. Concerned that Moonlit Mambo would forever be remembered as the Jewel Ball that never was, she said she realized

(parodying Dr. Seuss), “It came without dresses, it came without tags, it came without dancing, limos, tuxes or gift bags. And I puzzled and puzzled until my puzzlers were sore, then I thought of something I hadn’t before. What if the Jewel Ball, I thought, doesn’t come from a store, what if the Jewel Ball means a little bit more?” Poking fun at the chaos surrounding the event, when it came time to announce the total amount netted, Las Patronas members walked to the front of the room with umbrellas, and a number pinned to each one. “Let’s see if we can get these in the right order,” Piegza said. “Cari, you go over there. Melinda, move over. Kelley, switch places with Susan.” After a little “scrambling,” the final total — which will be distributed to 10 major beneficiaries and dozens of minor beneficiaries — was revealed. The major beneficiaries are: Promises2Kids, San Diego Blood Bank, Mission Valley YMCA, San Diego Junior Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse Jacobs &

Cushman San Diego Food Bank, Parkinson’s Association of San Diego, Pro Kids: The First Tee of San Diego, Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla — Scripps Prebys Cardiovascular Institute and Tradition One.

In other Las Patronas news:

n 2015 theme: Cari Massad, the 2015 Jewel Ball chair, described her idea for the next Ball. “I see romance, chandeliers, Champagne flowing everywhere, beautiful formal gardens with mazes and greenery everywhere,” she said. Hoping the event would have the “essence of France,” she and co-chairs Sherrie Black and Kathryn Gayner announced the theme would be “Magnifique!” Saturday, Aug. 8 at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. n New members introduced: Nine new members were welcomed: Elsie Arredondo, Carolyn Brann, Karly Cole, Cheryl Cousino, Kelly Kjos, Martha Sottosanti, Shay Stephens, Lauren Weiss and Natalie Willoughby.

MCASD opens two exhibits at a Thursday Night Thing

installations, a total contrast in scale and style. Jacobsen’s intricate drawings, collages and assemblages are meditations on experience and memory, inviting close attention. Long lines outside the two small galleries were evidence that viewers were spending serious, up-close-and-personal time with his quietly compelling works. Born in Ramona and based in San Francisco, Jacobsen recently took a month-long trip down the coast, travelling by foot and by train back to his San Diego roots. Some of the bits and pieces he found along the roadsides became part of this exhibit, his first solo museum show. As always, the TNT event included live music (from hot local bands Barbarian and Tropical Popsicle), cocktails, and art-making activities on the museum’s outdoor plaza, and the fun went on until 10 p.m. u n IF YOU GO: Both exhibitions will be on display through Feb. 8, with special events at noon every First Friday around Rita McBride’s “Arena.” MCASD is at 1100 Kettner Blvd., between Broadway and B Street. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Closed Wednesday. For more details, visit mcasd.org or call (858) 454-3541.

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt he Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s latest TNT (Thursday Night Thing) was a celebration for the opening of two new exhibitions that drew some 500 enthusiastic viewers to its downtown galleries on Kettner Boulevard Oct. 9. Rita McBride’s large-scale, space-defining installations filled three galleries, welcoming visitors to climb on her modernist stadium-seating construction, Arena; ogle her tilted rattan “Toyota”; and crouch-walk under the “dropped ceiling” of “National Chain” — a little like being on the seventh-and-a-half floor in “Being John Malkovich” or in the Sea of Holes in “Yellow Submarine.” McBride, who has been creating architectural sculpture since the 1980s, started life in Des Moines, Iowa, but now divides her time between Los Angeles and Dusseldorf, Germany, where she is Director of the Kunstakademie. She has said she likes the experience of living in different places and some of her works (like the modular “Arena”) are as well travelled as she is, having been shown in cities around the world. Colter Jacobsen’s exhibit, “This is How We Walk on the Moon,” is the yin side to McBride’s yang

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

Strong performances lift ‘Freud’s Last Session’

orth Coast Repertory Theatre’s artistic director David Ellenstein’s ability to pick engaging scripts and cast the right talent to go with them again shines in the San Diego premiere of “Freud’s Last Session” by playwright Mark St. Germain, on stage through Nov. 9. The beguiling set and props by Marty Burnett, Benjamin Cole and John Finkbiner offer much to speculate about. There are shelves of books that come as no surprise in Sigmund Freud’s London office. There are ornate statues, lamps and vases that hint Freud might occasionally enjoy gazing on lovely things. But most curious are the numerous religious antiquities that cover his desk. Freud (Michael Santo) is dying from oral cancer, yet his mind cannot tolerate the fact that people still believe in God. He’s invited author C.S. Lewis (Bruce Turk) – a former atheist — for a visit to debate the question, and as he awaits his guest, he listens to reports of war bombings on his radio. The date is Sept. 3, 1939. When Lewis arrives, he is cheery and curious about why he’s been beckoned to Freud’s home. Freud warns him that the visit will be brief, as his doctor is coming to adjust the prosthesis in his mouth. So Freud gets right to the point. He’s furious about Lewis’ book “Pilgrim’s Regress,” which only moments later he confesses he never read. There are several light moments like this that produce genuine laughter in this otherwise serious scenario.

At times Freud and Lewis seem like old friends, at ease with their judgments and criticism of each other’s philosophies. Then come sharp words (more so from Freud) that suggest these two men were unlikely to ever be in the same room together. One scene where Lewis is forced to remove the prosthesis from Freud’s mouth because he cannot breathe and is coughing up blood says a lot without words. The discussions about God and religion bounce back and forth like a tennis tournament. At one point Freud says, “I bless your God who has given me cancer so I won’t be here to see another (war).” Moments later Lewis responds, “The God of the Bible is a bullying busybody.” Two men talking for 90 minutes would seem boring no matter what the subject, but St. Germain’s dialogue and its exposition of many things – war, worldly possessions, sexuality, ideals, marriage and “bad” people — is enthralling because it is delivered by superb actors. Santo and Turk master their characters. In reality, such a meeting never happened, yet St. Germain’s enticing positioning of the two, great opposite minds provides many thoughts about these men and is well created by staff, crew and actors. u n IF YOU GO: “Freud’s Last Session” is on stage through Nov. 9, at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

From Hunchback of Notre Dame, B1 and there was Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, or a Hal Prince.” Director Scott Schwartz — the son of Stephen Schwartz — is already making a name for himself, sand said the production will be highlighted by the music’s orchestral power and choral beauty in a retelling of the famous love story. “A community of voices comes together to re-enact the story of Quasimodo, and as they sing, they summon the world of medieval Paris and Victor Hugo’s rich characters,” he said. Enhancing the score will be San Diego’s young-and-stylish choral group, SACRA / PROFANA. Ashley said while the Playhouse has a national reach, “We are deeply committed to and rooted in our own community. There is enormous excitement about partnering with SACRA / PROFANA, not just because they are an acclaimed and extraordinary group in their own right, but also because it allows us to continue building on our meaningful partnerships with local artists and organizations across San Diego.” Five San Diego-based actors will also be part of the ensemble: Lucas Coleman, Mary Joe Duggan and Anise Ritchie, along with UC San Diego MFA students Brian Smolin and William Thomas Hodgson. The cast will be led by Michael Arden (Broadway’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’” and “Big River”) as the scorned-and-deformed bell-ringer Quasimodo; Patrick Page (Broadway’s “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” “The Lion King” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!”) as Frollo, the Archdeacon of Notre Dame and Quasimodo’s master; Ciara Renée (Broadway’s “Pippin” and “Big Fish”) as the

beautiful-and-suppressed gypsy Esmeralda; Andrew Samonsky (La Jolla Playhouse’s “Little Miss Sunshine” and Broadway’s “The Mystery of Edwin Drood”) as Captain Phoebus; and Liberman (Broadway’s “Lovemusik”) as Clopin. Liberman has nothing but praise for his fellow cast members. “What’s great about being in this business is that you get to see and work with fellow actors through the years and watch them grow and change — just as you grow and change,” he said. “They’re all just terrifically talented, as is the entire ensemble. There’s not a weak link in the bunch — that just serves to raise the game for all of us.” Considered a San Diego favorite by audiences with his numerous, prior roles at The Old Globe Theatre, Page will portray the antagonist Frollo; adding another villainous role to his impressive Broadway credits, including Dr. Osborn/Green Goblin in “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” Scar in “The Lion King” and the Grinch in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” Loving the Disney version of Hunchback since it was first released, Page said, “As an actor, you sort of know what you’d like to play, and I immediately felt that with the role of Frollo. First of all, there are so few roles written for a bass-baritone singer, so I immediately felt that it would be something that I would like to do one day, having no idea if ever a show would be made of it.” Liberman said Disney has an incredible way for bringing universality to stories. “This has so much passion and so much danger, which is intriguing; the light side and the dark and how those things balance each other out,” he said. “I loved the film

with great music and very compelling characters — all of whom undergo a transformation by the end, which is very fulfilling for the audience. I know the film has meant a great deal to millions of people.” But Liberman adds that the La Jolla Playhouse production, written by Peter Parnell (“The West Wing” and “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever”) is a new take on Hunchback. “What we’re bringing is different from the (Disney) movie and different from the novel. It’s an adaptation of all of those things — it’s a stagework — and they’re really doing it great justice,” he said. “Anyone who has read the Victor Hugo novel realizes there are major themes in it that wouldn’t probably be appropriate for a child, but speaks to adults and young adults. It’s not a kiddie play, not an animated film — it deals with the real human struggles that these people were undergoing and many of us are still undergoing today.” In the stage production, Liberman said Clopin is again a “figurehead that ties many of the story elements together in terms of the overall arcing story structure. Within the story itself, he is the King of the Gypsies. He represents those without a voice in this medieval community in Paris — the disenfranchised, the ostracized, the poor — who are driven to criminal acts because they are basically not allowed to make a living legally, but he also represents the antithesis of what Frollo stands for — the oppression of the church, the oppression of human desire, which actually is what makes this community turn on its ear. You have the hedonism of what the King of the Gypsies represents pitted against the piety of the church, which is actually in

this case dishonest.” The scenic design by Alexander Dodge features an elaborate recreation of Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris. “Anyone who has experienced the grandeur of the Notre Dame Cathedral will be awe-inspired because the set is allegiant to the size and power of that monument and what it represented at that time,” Liberman said. “The power that something like a mega-church would have now in the Midwestern United States is the hold of what Notre Dame or the Vatican would have had on people then and still has on some people now. The set is very glorious and does justice to the size and scope of the cathedral.” Complimenting the detailed set will be costumes by designer Alejo Vietti. “They are sensational; they’re so authentic, colorful and versatile — it’s wearable art,” Liberman said. “All of those elements — the scenic elements, the costume elements — they all converge to hopefully create the reality that the audience will give itself over to when they see the show. It’s a collaboration of many accomplished and visionary artists — and they make it really great fun to go to work.” After performances end Dec. 14 in La Jolla, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” will move east in March 2015 to Millburn, New Jersey, at the Paper Mill Playhouse, which is co-producing Hunchback with La Jolla Playhouse. u n IF YOU GO: “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” runs Oct. 26-Dec. 14 at La Jolla Playhouse’s Mandell Weiss Theatre on the UC San Diego campus, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

LYON, Decedent NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: CHAROLOTTE G. LYON CASE NUMBER: 37-2014-00033710-PR-PW-CTL To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of CHAROLOTTE G. LYON; CHARLOTTE LYON; CHARLOTTE G. LYON. A Petition for Probate has been filed by KATHLEEN MCGUIRE in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN DIEGO. The petition for Probate requests that KATHLEEN MCGUIRE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 11/20/2014 Time: 1:30 PM. Dept.: PC-2. Address of court: same as noted above. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: James R. Stubbs 671 Indian Ridge Palm Desert, CA 92211 760-200-4556 LJ1777.

Fall in love with one pot wonders

ne pot dishes are not only hearty and scrumptious, but they are easy to prepare and save on clean up. Here’s an international sample of these wonder dishes that you can even make ahead of time and enjoy later. Magical Moroccan One Pot Tagines are savory slow-cooked Moroccan stews of chicken, lamb, beef or fish blended with vegetables, dried fruits, preserved lemons and exotic herbs and spices, including turmeric, saffron, ginger and coriander, simmered in cooking vessels that bear the same name. The conical shape of the traditional ceramic or clay tagine (reminiscent of the Tin Man’s hat from “The Wizard of Oz”) allows heat to circulate evenly so all ingredients cook uniformly, while trapping the flavorful liquids inside. The shallow dish that fits below the coned dome is used for both cooking and serving. This method not only requires Spartan amounts of water (ideal for regional droughts), but braises the meats and vegetables to a delicate tenderness. The tagine’s versatility allows it to be placed over hot coals or a gas or electric stovetop, using a diffuser for the latter two modes to evenly disburse the heat to prevent the pot from cracking. Authentic Moroccan tagine dishes are served on a bed of fluffy couscous. Rustic Ragùs These traditional Italian minced meatbased sauces are typically served over pasta. The carnivorous offerings range from chicken, duck, goose and offal (organ meats) to lamb, pork, veal and mutton, and are either braised separately or blended in pleasing combinations. Depending on the region and gustatory preferences, the meats are simmered in a broth, stock, wine, cream or tomato sauce for hours until it reduces down to a thick, wholesome stew.

Set It and Forget It The iconic slow cooker of the 1970s is making a revival as a high-tech crockpot. A

savior for working moms, busy singles or students, this culinary magic bullet lets an absentee cook put a substantial, shoestring, no-fuss meal on the table hours later. After prepping the meats and veggies, the crockpot runs the show. Everything from chicken gumbos, cacciatores and vegetarian curries to lamb stews, Hungarian goulashes and turkey chilis can be started in the morning and warm and ready when you return from work or an outing, without tinkering around in a hot kitchen. Fine Kettle of Fish Through culinary serendipity, bouillabaisse was created by some fishermen of Marseille, France, concocting a stew with bony rockfish scraps that they were unable to sell to markets or eateries. It has evolved into a traditional Provençal mélange of sea treasures including, monkfish, turbot, European hake, mussels, crab, octopus and lobster. These oceanic treats are simmered with leeks, onions, tomatoes and potatoes and a sprinkling of herbs de Provence creating a divine aromatic broth. Julia Child recommended serving the broth and fish separately with a side of grilled bread slathered with a savory rouille (an olive oilbased mayonnaise seasoned with garlic, saffron and cayenne pepper). The Sabbath Stew Orthodox Jews, forbidden to cook from sunset on Friday until three stars appear in the sky on Saturday evening, created a traditional stew called cholent that simmers overnight. This hearty hot meal is ready to eat on the Sabbath for lunch after they return from the morning synagogue services. Traditional cholent is a blend of beef or chicken with beans (kidney or navy), cranberry, barley, onions, garlic and potatoes, dialed up with savory herbs and spices simmered in a chicken or beef broth. — For additional comfort dish recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
