Tell a Fairy Tale Day
Silver St. mail-sorting hub to become 18 townhomes
Feb. 26
By Pat Sherman In a rare move, the committee established to uphold La Jolla’s blueprint for development, or Planned District Ordinance document (PDO), voted unanimously to convey support for a proposed residential project that would deviate from a PDO requirement that the development include commercial or retail space. The two-story Silver Street Village Homes project calls for 18 two- to four-bedroom townhomes at the corner of Silver Street and Draper Avenue, currently home to an animal hospital and postal service facility. Each unit would be from 1,800 to 2,600 square feet and

He and business partner Michael Pierson are seeking deviations from a PDO requirement that the project be mixed-use, including a ground-floor retail or commercial component.

From Silver St., A1
Silver Street Village Homes project applicant William Berwin (right) and development advisor Jay Wexler present their 18-townhome project to the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance committee Feb. 9 at La Jolla Rec Center. Pat Sherman Wexler said the building where the animal hospital is located was not determined by the city to have historic significance. He said the hospital plans to relocate to 7527 Draper Ave. (near Pearl Street), although a receptionist at the hospital told La Jolla Light a lease has not yet been finalized. Applicant seeking vacant city land Berwin and Pierson have been working with the city to gain control of an adjacent, rectangular parcel of city land that includes a sewer easement (also adjacent the tennis courts on Draper Avenue). The applicants hope to transform the parcel into an open space “visual amenity” for residents of its gated community. Wexler said the police and fire departments want to secure the
land, which he said is currently in “a dangerous location” and invites homeless individuals to camp there. La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s (LJVMA) executive director, Sheila Fortune, said two months ago the parcel was promised to the LJVMA by the mayor’s office for the creation of a possible pocket park, community garden or other public amenity. “I didn’t even know about this until I got here and saw on your drawing that it’s the same piece of land,” she said. However, Wexler said the city’s new real estate assets director, Cybele Thompson, gave his clients a “good indication” they will be able to acquire the land, noting that, due to the sewer easement, “you can’t build anything on it … and can’t even plant

Landscape plans About 15.25 percent of the site will be landscaped, slightly more than required by the PDO, the project’s landscape architect, Jim Neri, said. Landscaping will include three existing Canary Island date palms on Draper, as well as Chinese flame trees and ornamental pear trees, similar to those fronting a residential housing complex across Silver Street. The project will also include a public “mini plaza” with low plantings at the corner of Draper and Silver Street, which will not obstruct motorists’ visibility, Neri said. Community member David Little argued the applicant should be seeking a variance from the city, which is harder to obtain and requires more scrutiny than deviations. “In my opinion you’d have a very tough time coming up with a justification for a variance,” Little said. Community member Mike Costello noted prior instances in which an applicant didn’t qualify for a variance and instead sought a deviation, leading to acrimony and debate. “Here in La Jolla, ‘deviation’ is more like ‘deviant,’ ” he said. “It has a very bad connotation.” (The applicant’s legal representative, Matt Peterson, later

project in exchange for adding environmentallysustainable components (in this case, things such as low-flow water fixtures, LED lighting and rooftop solar panels). Addressing the PDO committee, project advisor Jay Wexler noted the applicants are on their third review cycle with the city. “We found the city working hard to help us get this thing done, which is pretty unusual,” he said. The project is located within an outcropping of PDO Zone III, which veers off the Fay Avenue commercial corridor that comprises the majority of Zone III. Wexler said he believes the outcropping where the project site is located may have been “grandfathered” into Zone III when the PDO was drafted some 38 years ago, to accommodate commercial uses located there. However, Wexler argued that today the area near Silver Street and Draper is composed almost entirely of residential, recreational and cultural uses, and that the commercial requirement has become “impractical.” “It’s not a commercial corridor — it just isn’t,” he said. Berwin added, “It’s our position this (area of Zone III) was inappropriately carved out to begin with.” Wexler said the project would add three street parking spaces, and reduce noise and air pollution from mail trucks now congregating at the postal annex. Both the Animal Hospital of La Jolla and the U.S. Postal Service’s letter carrier annex will be relocated, Wexler said. “They’ll be out of there by the end of July,” he said.
certain trees. “It’s a piece that, really, unfortunately, has never been given much care,” Wexler said. “We would be willing to spend a lot of money to improve it and to keep it up. Otherwise, we would fence it off or wall it off.” Fortune later told the Light the LJVMA does not have a position on whether the land goes to the developer or to the LJVMA.

explained why city staff agreed the project qualifies for deviations, including its sustainable components). Wexler maintained that requiring the commercial component could lead to vacant storefronts at the site. “That would be a tragedy for this community,” he said. “If this was in another location I would certainly understand your resistance … (but) we designed a project that we know can be financed … and can be marketable and therefore sustained. We’re reducing the impacts that exist today. We thought that was fairly admirable and appropriate for the environment.” Community member Ed Comartin lauded the project’s old-world European-inspired design, cautioning that another developer’s plans for the site might not be as palatable to the community. PDO committee member Michael Dershowitz praised the applicants for their efforts to transform the site in an aesthetically pleasing way. “I don’t think it’s a great loss; I think it’s a great addition,” he said. Peterson said he believes the PDO needs to be updated to correct anomalies such as the site’s mixed-use zoning, likening it to “peculiar gerrymandering.” “Nobody’s going to put retail in there,” he said. “You’ve got a tennis racket shop a half a block away. What else are you going to put in there?” Committee member Joe Pitrofsky made a motion that the project does not conform to the PDO’s requirement for retail, though the committee is nevertheless voicing support for the project because the site is not located within a viable retail corridor. The motion, seconded by PDO member Anna Palmer,
Rendering of the proposed Silver Street Village Homes project at the corner of Draper Avenue and Silver Street, as it would appear from Silver Street (top) and from Draper Avenue (bottom). Courtesy passed unanimously. Loss of retail revenue at issue? LJVMA director Fortune said the loss of the site’s retail component would impact her association, which oversees money assessed on merchants within La Jolla’s business improvement district that it uses to promote business in the Village. LJVMA board president, Claude-Anthony Marengo, voiced the same concern during a subsequent presentation of the project. DPR recommends approval The following day, Feb. 10, the La Jolla
Development Permit Review (DPR) committee reviewed the project, and asked the applicants to attend its Feb. 17 meeting with: a study of elevations relative to neighbors on Draper Avenue and Silver Street to show how the project fits the neighborhood; a more detailed landscape study showing planned improvements to the corner (the mini plaza); additional information on the proposed deviations, and why the applicant believes a variance is not appropriate for the project; a description of how the design will “enhance and strengthen” neighborhood character; and assurance that if the applicant acquires the

On Feb. 17, the DPR committee voted 5-11 that findings could be made to recommend approval of the project, based on what DPR member Mike Costello deemed “interesting changes and concessions,” including more details about landscaping for the corner mini plaza and an assurance that, if acquired, the applicants would not build on the city-owned land.

Walker, Texas Aggie
Man to walk coast to coast, starting in La Jolla by Ashley Mackin Texas man is about to embark on a cross-country trek and will take his first steps from La Jolla. Departing at 9 a.m. Sunday, March 1 from Scripps Park, John Ball will spend 170 days walking 2,673 miles from coast to coast, ending his journey in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Texas A&M University alum said he spent 26 years in the U.S. Air Force, during which time he fervently exercised, and especially enjoyed running. When he retired in 2006, it was hard on his knees for him to keep running, so he took to walking. “The more I walked, the farther I wanted to walk and several years ago, I came up with the idea to walk from coast to coast,” Ball said. “I thought it would be something I would like to do.” In the course of his research, he found there were trails and routes designed for cross-country walks, but he wanted to create his own. “I prefer to walk through towns where there are hotels and restaurants, but also a lot of Texas A&M graduates. Of the 170 walking days, 94 days will end in towns where Texas A&M graduates live,” he said. Ball originally planned to depart from Mission Beach, but considering his first stop would be in Poway, he wanted to move the starting point a little more north, eventually

deciding on La Jolla. From Poway, he will walk to Ramona and then on to Julian during his voyage toward Florida. He will carry only a backpack with a few changes of clothes, lightweight tent and sleeping bag, and enough food and water for the day, plus an iPad and iPhone, so he can document the journey daily.
Ball, 58, said he recognized the challenge isn’t for everyone, but feels undeterred. “A cross-country walk has been done before and it has been done by people older than me,” he said. He has been married to wife Wyn for 38 years, and together they have two daughters, Jessie and Karla, and two granddaughters, Bailey and Ava.
We Are Buying
When Ball decided to embark on the trip, it wasn’t as a fundraiser with benefactor in mind. “My original cause was, ‘cause I wanted to,” he joked. But last year, he decided to use the walk to raise funds to establish an endowed Aggie Ring Scholarship Program at Texas A&M. Maggey Felix, vice president of programs for the San Diego County A&M Club, said the Aggie Ring is an honored tradition; students who complete 90 hours of class time qualify to purchase a custom ring, named for graduates of the Agriculture (Aggie) & Mechanical College. “It symbolizes all the hard work that you’ve put into your education,” she said. “I looked forward to getting my Aggie Ring more than graduation day. It’s something that Aggies hold very close.” However, the rings start at $500 for women and $1,000 for men. “For students putting themselves through school or those who took out loans, it’s hard to come up with that amount, so what John is doing to give back to the students and the school through something he is passionate about is such a wonderful thing,” she said. “We couldn’t be more proud of John in showing endurance and persistence on behalf of the students at the school.” Donation information and daily updates at thewalkingaggie.com u

Planners approve Shores home plans, Cove Pavilion concept n Annual trustee election: 3-7 p.m. Thursday, March 5 By Pat Sherman During its Feb. 5 meeting, the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) approved plans for a proposed two-story Shores’ home that the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC) previously rejected, due to the project’s bulk and scale and nonconforming front setback. The since scaled-down design presented to the LJCPA during the meeting at La Jolla Rec Center showed a reduced floor-area ratio (FAR) — the size of a structure relative to its lot — from .85 to .81 and increased front yard setback that conforms with those of other homes in the vicinity. The project, at 8374 Paseo del Ocaso, involves demolition of an existing 1,624 square-foot, single-story home and construction of a 4,275 squarefoot, two-story home with a basement and solar panels. LJCPA trustee Phil Merten, who chairs the PRC and abstained from that group’s January vote, noted that the PRC liked the articulation, shape and form of the building (and found them to be in accord with the La Jolla Community Plan), although it had problems with the front setback and floorarea ratio. Merten said the setback “is now in general conformity with those in the vicinity” and the FAR is lower than several homes on the street previously approved by the LJCPA.
La Jolla Community Planning Association “It’s still larger than some members of the La Jolla Shores PRC would like to see,” Merten noted, though adding, “I think the adjustments they’ve made here are quite good and … the building will fit into the street-scape nicely.” Merten made a motion that findings could be made to approve the project, which was seconded by trustee Bob Steck, who also serves on the Shores’ PRC. The motion passed by a vote of 12-0-2.

n Cove Pavilion plans approved: Following a presentation on the proposed replacement of the public restroom in Scripps Park (aka Cove Pavilion), the LJCPA approved a motion by trustee Patrick Ahern (also of the La Jolla Parks & Beaches group) to approve the Cove Pavilion concept presented by Safide Rabines Architects “and to consider reducing the size in order to enhance the view corridor.” It passed 12-1-1, with trustee Janie Emerson in opposition.
The motion will allow the Cove Pavilion committee and Safdie Rabines to move forward with a design and cost estimate, which it will vet with Parks & Beaches and present to the LJCPA at a later date. The facility’s size was questioned during the LJCPA meeting by trustee Merten, who asked whether it needs the proposed 18 restrooms, which he said makes the project wider than it might otherwise be, blocking views to the ocean.
“It’s definitely ... significantly larger than the existing one,” conceded Architect Taal Safdie, noting a previous design was thinner and more linear, but presented other issues. Safdie and project organizer Judy Adams Halter both noted that the public called for more restrooms at the site to accommodate the increase in population and tourists since the original facility was built in 1967.

Bird Rock (caused by storms in 2004 and 2005). “This had created a safety issue that mandated the bluff be fenced off,” Garver said. “The city now has design plans to repair the erosion of the bluffs and to restore the viewpoint area on top, with new fences and drought-resistant landscaping. Engineering hopes to begin construction in the fall.”
During its Feb. 5 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center, LJCPA trustees approved this scaled-down plan for a two-story home on Paseo del Ocaso in La Jolla Shores (The Fentisova Residence). From Planning Association, A10 However, Merten said that both of the new pavilion projects at La Jolla Shores have fewer restrooms and accommodate “many more people than will probably ever be at this location,” and seem ample to accommodate beach-goers. “I like the building, I like the concept (but) I think it’s too big,” Merten said. Safdie agreed that taking a second look at the facility’s size and the restroom requirement was warranted. n Election and bylaws change: LJCPA is gearing up for its annual trustee election, 3-7 p.m. Thursday, March 5 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. This year, 14 candidates are vying for seven open seats; their statements can be read at lajollacpa.org LJCPA president Joe LaCava said that, unlike previous years, candidate statements will not be posted at the Rec Center. “So

read up, be prepared,” LaCava cautioned. “We’re going to keep the room clean, as the election guidelines call for.” n Photo ID required: In addition, LaCava said those who do not present a photo ID will not be permitted to vote. To assure as “clean” an election as possible, LaCava said La Jolla’s city-appointed community planner, Karen Bucey, will be at the polls to monitor the voting, in addition to LJCPA’s trustee election committee. All committee members and poll volunteers are required to read the election guidelines beforehand. LJCPA may also present proposed bylaws changes during the March 5 meeting, for a vote of its general membership. LaCava told La Jolla Light via e-mail that the city directed all planning groups to update their bylaws to be consistent with its update to City Council Policy 600-24, which was adopted Nov. 14, 2014.
“The city offered to do the initial drafting of the bylaws for consistency and offer it to the LJCPA for our consideration,” LaCava said. “We are working with the city on that draft; it is still a work in progress. The draft will go to the LJCPA’s ad hoc bylaw committee first and we hope to be able to present it at the annual member meeting March 5.” Other changes suggested by individuals, including several procedural changes offered by trustee Mike Costello on Feb. 5, will need to be considered once the newly elected trustees are seated in April, and the ad hoc bylaw committee is reset, LaCava said. n Bird Rock bluff fix update: Justin Garver, a representative with the office of San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner, noted that a lawsuit against the city has been settled, freeing up funding to proceed with planned stabilization of a coastal bluff at the foot of Midway Drive in
n Whale Watch Way delay: Appeal of a proposed home designed by Pritzker Architecture Prize-winner Zaha Hadid that some consider too space-aged for La Jolla Shores has been postponed to a San Diego Planning Commission hearing sometime in the future (possibly April 16). The ultramodern home proposed for 8490 Whale Watch Way has been rejected several times by the LJCPA and PRC. n Sacido appeal set for March 26: A project rejected by the LJCPA’s Development Permit Review (DPR) committee after several presentations has been subsequently approved by a city hearing officer. That decision is being appealed to the Planning Commission by a neighbor and the LJCPA. The project, at 901 and 911 Skylark Drive (adjacent properties) involves a lot line adjustment to allow construction of retaining walls, ramps, a pool and spa, staircase, deck and guest quarters. The applicant originally proposed two guest quarters, though removed one as a concession to the DPR, which had other concerns, including a perceived lack of parking.

Video of La Jolla family on ‘Family Feud’ goes viral A video of the Circuit family of La Jolla, after their participation on the television game show “Family Feud,” has gone viral with more than 5.3 million views on YouTube when one answer left host Steve Harvey speechless. The Circuit family, whose episode aired Feb. 9 on KUSI, competed on the show in which contestants must guess the most common responses to questions. In Darci’s case, the question was “Name something a doctor might pull out of a person.” Her reply, without a moment’s hesitation — “A gerbil!” Sadly, it was not on the board of common responses.

City to present undergrounding information March 18 in Shores Utilities Undergrounding staff has scheduled an informational community meeting for residents living in the 1J Phase 1 and 2 undergrounding block in La Jolla Shores. The meeting has been scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 18 at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in Sumner Auditorium, 8622 Kennel Way. Additional information and noticing will take place in the coming weeks. The community is encouraged to attend to receive additional project information and to provide feedback to staff.
Construction on the first phase of the Torrey Pines Corridor Project — which will provide a series of traffic calming concepts to enhance circulation of vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic — began Feb. 9. The first phase will involve clearing obstructions, repairing sunken or damaged sidewalks, and constructing new ADAaccessible curb ramps on the north and west sides (ocean sides) of Torrey Pines Road. Additionally, a new section of sidewalk is being installed on the south and east sides (inland side) of Torrey Pines Road between Roseland Drive and Calle Juela. Construction is scheduled to take 85 days. During times of heavy work, traffic control and flaggers will divert pedestrians to the bike lane to get around the sidewalk/curb ramps being replaced. There will be two travel lanes in each direction during the work on the north side. Eastbound traffic will be reduced to one lane during construction along the south side between Roseland Drive and Calle Juela. More at sandiego.gov/cip/projectinfo/featuredprojects
Fashion Week San Diego coming to La Jolla Sept. 28-Oct. 4 La Jolla Village Merchants Association announced it is partnering with Fashion Week San Diego to bring the event to La Jolla, Sept. 28-Oct. 4. To accommodate the event, LJVMA is proposing closing a portion of Wall Street between Girard and Herschel avenues (site of the new La Plaza La Jolla shopping complex), provided it will not create a major traffic disruption. The partnership will be officially announced during Fashion Week’s spring show, March 14 at Harrah’s Resort in Valley Center. “It’s kind of stamping us as a fashion Village,” LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune said, noting that organizers are hoping to make this year’s event smaller and more elite. “It’s going to be a ticket that is well sought out.” fashionweeksd.com

During the La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s Feb. 11
meeting, project representative Vic Salazar and city engineer Brian Wilson cautioned La Jollans to be prepared for extensive detours created by sewer replacement work on Cave Street, Exchange Place and portions of Prospect Street set to commence in the coming weeks. Salazar said an “extensive redesign” of the Prospect Street work eliminated installation of an entire pipeline, which he said should reduce the workload. “We’re going to be in a shallower trench, which will speed the process up, hopefully, creating a little bit less impact on businesses,” Salazar said. “Although the work will not take place on Prospect in the area where the majority of businesses are located. ... there will be a lot of detours through the whole Village. Right now it basically looks like a detour sign on almost every corner through the Village. It’s going to be a mess, and there’s just no way around it. We’re going to do our best to kind of modify as needed, to try and help everybody be able to get in and out.” Salazar said the work should be completed by the end of April, with any work taking a hiatus a few days before the annual Concours d’Elegance auto show, April 10-12 at La Jolla Cove, and resuming shortly after the event.

Stop sign installed on Fay Ave. at West Muirlands An all-way stop sign was installed on Fay Avenue at West Muirlands Drive behind La Jolla High School in early February, and crosswalks were painted. Under consideration for more than a year, the stops sign request was originally presented to the La Jolla Traffic & Transportation (T&T) advisory board in January 2014 as a discussion item. In July 2014, residents supporting the stop signs spoke at T&T, citing observations of parents using West Muirlands Drive as a feeder street for La Jolla High School, and students often running across the street to get to school. A San Diego Traffic & Engineering Division study affirmed that the intersection qualified for a stop sign, primarily based on traffic volumes (20 points is needed to qualify for an all-way stop control; the intersection received 22 points). “It received the maximum points that could be awarded for the volume of traffic coming out of West Muirlands during the (morning) and (afternoon) peak hours and received most of its qualifying points on the fact that traffic volumes at the intersection were high and the difference between the main and side street volume were pretty similar during peak hours,” the study states. u
hyllis Pfeiffer previously served as vice president and general manager of U-T Community Press, a group of nine community newspapers including: Ramona Sentinel, Poway News Chieftain, Rancho Bernardo News Journal, La Jolla Light, Rancho Santa Fe Review, Del Mar Times, Carmel Valley News, Solana Beach Sun and the new Encinitas Advocate. Pfeiffer brings a depth of knowledge and experience, having launched her newspaper career at the La Jolla Light, where she served as publisher from 1977-1987. “Phyllis is an important member of the executive team that steers not only the community papers, but all of Phyllis our efforts,” said Jeff Light, Pfeiffer U-T San Diego president and editor. “Her industry credentials and personal character make Phyllis a person of rare insight and good judgment — precisely the sort of executive we need in the leadership of this company.” Papa Doug Manchester, publisher of U-T San Diego, added, “I have known Phyllis for 30 years and have always admired her dedication to excellence in journalism and especially her leadership skills. I am most confident of her ability to take the community newspapers to additional heights.” Pfeiffer left the Light more than 25 years

ago to become general manager of the Los Angeles Times San Diego Edition. After the Times closed in San Diego, Phyllis headed north to become president and publisher of the Marin Independent Journal. She later became vice president of advertising and marketing for the Contra Costa Times and senior vice president of advertising for the San Francisco Chronicle. “The transition to U-T San Diego ownership in 2014 has been a boost to local community journalism” Pfeiffer said. “The weekly newspapers that make up U-T Community Press have retained their independent voices, their local staffs, and the editorial content that is tailored to each community.” Pfeiffer noted that another big benefit of this new association has been the U-T San Diego encouragement and financial support to bring more local news to other San Diego communities, along with sophisticated digital marketing programs for small businesses in these areas. “Readers can look forward to better mobile and online access to our community news and information in 2015 and beyond,” she said.

Welcome to the biggest decade of discovery in medical history
W
hen the director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the director of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) speak with one voice, it’s time to listen. When they echo the words of the President of the United States, it’s time to act. In his State of the Union Address, President Obama debuted his $215 million “Precision Medicine Initiative,” intended to accelerate progress toward a new era in medicine in which disease treatment and prevention is based upon the particulars of each patient, whether it’s minute differences in their DNA or variables in biological processes, such as how their immune system works. The initiative would “bring us closer to curing diseases like cancer and diabetes,” declared the president. Precision medicine promises to deliver “the right treatments at the right time, every time, to the right person,” he said. NIH director Francis Collins, who led the game-changing Human Genome Project, and NCI director Harold Varmus, also a former NIH head and a Nobel laureate for his cancer research, could not agree more. Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, they took note of the president’s enthusiastic support for precision
medicine, discussed its challenges and debated its ultimate goal: To give everyone the best chance at good health. Such rhetoric might cause pause. The history of science is well marked by grand ambitions that have fallen short, and curing complex diseases is a decidedly difficult and daunting business. So it’s reasonable to be skeptical, to wonder about the feasibility of an idea like precision medicine. Can such a thing really be done? These are early days. Much remains to be done, such as collecting and interpreting the genetic information of one million Americans and translating basic discoveries into clinical benefit. But in some cases — and in some places — the future has arrived. For cancer research and treatment, specifically, precision medicine has become practiced medicine. The last decade or so have seen incredible, even radical, advances in the depth and breadth of our understanding of cancer. At the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, for example, the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy already performs advanced clinical-grade molecular diagnostics on any patient with advanced cancer where the physician feels such information may be relevant to the patient’s care. There is a weekly Molecular
Tumor Board that brings together doctors of multiple specialties, basic scientists, geneticists, bioinformaticists and experts from the San Diego Supercomputer Center to discuss patients with difficult cancers and how best to formulate the singular treatment most suitable for each of them. “If we examine tumors from patients with metastatic disease,” said Razelle Kurzrock, M.D., director of the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy, “we find that no two patients have the same portfolio of molecular/ biologic abnormalities. Patients have metastatic tumors that are ‘malignant snowflakes.’ Not only do they need drugs that target their tumor abnormalities with precision, each patient also needs therapies that are personalized for their particular tumor.” Last year, UC San Diego and La Jollabased Human Longevity, Inc. (HLI) began a collaborative effort to sequence the genome of every consenting Moores Cancer Center patient. HLI was co-founded by J. Craig Venter, Ph.D., a UCSD alumnus best known for his central role in sequencing the human genome. (Venter and Collins at the NIH are generally credited as being the primary drivers of that effort, with Collins directing a publicly funded program while Venter headed a company focused on the same effort.) Recently, Venter was invited to the White House to hear President Obama further elaborate upon the Precision Medicine Initiative. He said the scene was evocative of his visit to the White House in 2000, when it was announced that the human genome had been successfully sequenced. It was inspiring. It felt like something big was happening. “Maybe bigger,” Venter said. “This
was the president speaking. It was a larger stage. There were more players involved, including the FDA, and a bigger buy-in.” Often in science, the more you learn, the less you seem to know. Answering one question provokes 100 or 1,000 more. Such ought to be the case with cancer, but Venter believes we have reached a particular moment of profound opportunity. This next decade “will be the biggest decade of discovery in medical history,” he said. It remains true that the more we learn about cancer, the more we learn about what remains to be learned — the known unknowns, so to speak. But Venter argues persuasively that we have developed sufficient tools to do a job unimaginable just a few years ago, from high-throughput sequencing technology to managing massive amounts of Big Data that would boggle the mind. “Advances in genomics and other ‘omics’ are going to sort out a lot of basic questions,” he said. “The costs and time of sequencing the human genome have dropped dramatically from $100 million and 9 months when I sequenced the first human genome to less than $1,000 and one day. We can do a lot of things faster and cheaper.” The president’s initiative marks a beginning, especially in terms of treating and preventing cancer. At Moores Cancer Center, we’ve already started. u — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.

Mary’s home in Exmouth, England was a neighborhood favorite. When Alison’s parents visited her in La Jolla years ago, Mary brought her recipes with her. Mary passed away in 1998, but these days, Alison loves sharing her mother’s cooking and recipes at the cafe, which seats about 48 people indoors and out. The cafe decor is a blend of old teashop sofas and a chandelier, with a modern spin of California casual featuring comfortable chairs to read in and Union Jack posters. “People love coming to our high teas for the joy of sampling so many different flavors,” Brown said. High tea is served on a beautiful bone china tiered service, and visitors sip from Mary’s original mismatched English bone china crockery. Diners start on the bottom of the tiered plate with a selection of bite-

BOYS Basketball: Cathedral Catholic High School Dons 59, La Jolla High School Vikings 45
Lessons learned in Viking loss to Cathedral Catholic By Kyle Loomis a Jolla High Vikings boys basketball team fell short against Western League rivals Cathedral Catholic High, losing 59-45 to the Dons at home, Feb. 20. After scoring the game’s first three points, the Vikings dropped behind and spent the remainder of the game playing catch-up after the Dons scored 15 straight points. La Jolla seemed out-matched for most of the game committing turnovers and watching shots bounce off the rim. Coach Paul Baranowski attributed some of the poor play to his players having too much anxiety. “Sometimes on a night like this, you get a little too amped up, you don’t play your best game,” Baranowski said. “We got wound up, didn’t stick to the plan.” Senior Ladd Castellano, who scored 16 points in the losing effort, agreed with his coach’s diagnosis, and added his team made some critical mistakes that prevented a would-be comeback. “We had way too many turnovers. They’re great in offensive transition, and we fed into that,” Castellano said. Despite the mistakes made, La Jolla was able to lessen the deficit to nine points by halftime. The Vikings had a strong second quarter, but fell apart after the break. After a tough third quarter, they were down 47-28, and the game seemed out of reach. “We didn’t come out with a lot of energy in the third quarter,” Castellano said. “We got away from everything good we did in

the second quarter.” Some of those things included some key defensive stops, including a couple of huge blocks by junior Alex Pitrofsky in the second quarter. About halfway through the second quarter, La Jolla was only down 21-18, and the home crowd was on their feet and yelling their support. Unfortunately for the Vikings, that success could not be sustained. “We just couldn’t put it together,” Baranowski said. “You have a plan, you think it can happen, and then other things get in the way, for whatever reason.” Despite the tough loss to a league rival, La Jolla (4-8 Western League, 14-12 overall) is playing in the postseason. The Vikings played against cross-town rivals the Bishop’s School on Tuesday Feb. 24.
One huge factor into the Vikings’ playoff game is the loss of sophomore Reed Farley. Farley, who scored 8 points before leaving the game with an ankle injury in the third quarter. The sophomore was injured earlier in the season, and Baranowski said that his team has to alter their strategy to account for Farley’s absence. “Reed was out for about six games before, and we sort of reinvented what we did, so we’ll go back to what we did at that time,” Baranowski said. “We’ll slow it down a little bit, be more deliberate.” Farley also offers leadership on the court. “Even though he’s a sophomore, he acts like a senior,” Castellano added. “He settles our team down, and we were playing a little frantic without him.”
The Vikings will have to find other ways to generate offense without one of their top scorers. Baranowski hinted at some extra creativity in the works. n La Jolla Girls Water Polo defeats Westview advancing to CIF semi-finals La Jolla High girls water polo won handily against the Westview High Wolverines 11-1 on Saturday, Feb. 21 at the Coggan Family Aquatic Complex. The Vikings will play against the Bishop’s School on Thursday, Feb. 26 in the semifinals at 5:45 p.m. at the same venue. The Vikings have played the Knights twice this season and lost both games. Bishop’s won the first matchup 7-5 at La Jolla on Jan. 15. The Knights won the second game 5-4 on Feb. 4 at the Bishop’s School. u

Cove stench be gone! Power wash the cliffs! I was in Costa Mesa on business and when my associates discovered I lived in the Village of La Jolla, their first question to me was: “I haven’t visited there in a while because of the stench by the Cove. Has anything been done about it?” Well, as we all know, there has been a little (very little) improvement. The periodic cleaning and gate installation so people can go out on the rocks has helped a bit. But it still stinks and we all know it’s going to get worse this summer when the hotter weather returns. I know there’s been countless studies done and it seems, according to the Feb. 19 La Jolla Light, there is yet another study planned regarding the sea lions. Here’s a common sense suggestion: Sea water filtered, so it’s just natural sea salt water, is pretty harsh, so why doesn’t some service just purchase some relatively inexpensive gas-powered power washers and wash the bird and seal waste with sea water? It’s certainly not going to harm the ocean (guess where the birds and seals poop when they’re not on the rocks?). Even if it damages the power washers … so what? It will only cost $400-$500 each to replace them. I mean really, how hard can this be to solve? Paul Mirabella
Rescue sea lions? Comply with the MMPA! As I read in the Feb. 5 La Jolla Light approximately 250 sea lions have been recently “rescued” by NOAA (National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration) and its partners, including SeaWorld. While this may be good public relations for NOAA and SeaWorld, it’s absolutely the wrong thing to do from an ecological and wildlife management perspective. Anyone who has taken a beginning college class in ecology understands that species overpopulation produces, among other things, degraded environmental quality, depleted food supplies, increased disease and morbidity. It was stated in the article that, with a population size greater than 300,000, the sea lion population may be at the environmental “carrying capacity,” the point where the environment cannot support a further increase in the sea lion population. Starving sea lions are simply a result of a population size that has grown too large. Therefore, rescuing malnourished and morbid young sea lions by NOAA and partners is forcing nature in the wrong direction. Anyone who took the ecology class mentioned earlier would have also learned that early mortality is a common and natural part of normal wildlife population dynamics. A stable population is in balance with the environment and maintains a relatively constant size. Let’s assume a female sea lion has a 10-year reproductive life span. Assume further that she has one offspring each year. If they all survive the population would increase by a factor of 10, but this doesn’t happen. Rather, over the 10 year period on average 9 of the 10 offspring do not survive. The single survivor just replaces the female, and the population stays in equilibrium. 90 percent early mortality is normal, and desirable for the health of the population. A final point concerns the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The MMPA is often invoked by

seal supporters as providing a legal constraint against human actions that interfere with the ”natural” behavior of marine mammals. By the same token, I believe NOAA and SeaWorld should also follow the letter of the law and refrain from “rescuing” malnourished sea lions and leave them alone to die their natural deaths. It’s nature’s way. Stephen Roberts
Independent La Jolla efforts remain on track The letter, “Just the facts, ma’am about an independent La Jolla” by Bird Rock resident Dale Duffala in the Feb. 19 La Jolla Light is puzzling. For some unfathomable reason, Mr. Duffala is referencing a 10-year old economic report (circa 2005) and stating that the numbers in the report are not valid in 2015. Yes, Mr. Duffala, you are correct to state the information in a 2005 economic report is not valid in 2015. No one at Independent La Jolla cites the 2005 report, as it expired many years ago and has no validity whatsoever to anyone. Of course 2005 taxation and revenue numbers are not reflective of 2015. How could they be? We understand that Mr. Duffala does not want La Jolla to become a city independent of San Diego, he has made that clear, but this ongoing reiteration of expired report data seems like a waste of good time and newsprint. Duffala cites project costs he said should have been reflected in the 2005 report. However, if the reader takes even a cursory look at the projects he is describing, one is quick to see these projects were not conceived until 2007 and 2008. Sans a time machine, they could not have been reflected in the 2005 report he has been scouring for perceived inaccuracies. Mr. Duffala goes on to state he is in dialogue with Richard Berkson of EPS, who authored the 2005 report, and has been advising Mr. Berkson on future report content for Independent La Jolla. We have not worked with EPS since 2005. We hired them for a one-off report and that was all. We hired a Sacramento-based economic planner in 2009 for our long-term needs, and have been very happy with the work. As Mr. Duffala is not a member of the Independent La Jolla committee, assumedly he is not aware that not only is his data 10 years old, but his entire premise is. As many have done before me, I invite Mr. Duffala to a monthly Independent La Jolla meeting and/or to escort our president on monthly trips to Sacramento to meet with State Legislature and lobbyists on the current Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act of Special Reorganization. If Mr. Duffala then continues to state that La Jolla should not be a city, his opinion is welcome. But at least at that point he will be dealing in facts and not forever debating the pertinence of long expired data. Melinda Merryweather Vice-President, Independent La Jolla
Rotting Cove fence needs immediate attention
s
We are new residents in La Jolla and were shocked to see the condition of the fence that encircles the Cove. It is rotted and peeling. It is sorely in need of repair and painting. The beauty of La Jolla Cove is certainly marred by this barrier. H. Lee Sarokin

Extortion call prompts warning about scams I was called at 5:55 a.m. Sunday by a man with a foreign accent who said he was with the Justice Department and there was a “Hit out on me.” He said someone was going to kill me and I needed to join “Illuminati” for protection. I hung up, called 911, and the dispatcher called the police who were here in 15 minutes. The caller phoned back and the police officer was listening nearby. The caller asked for my e-mail address, which I wouldn’t give out, and I asked him where he was located and he said Washington, D.C. He reiterated about the “hit” etc. I asked him what I had to do and he said I had to send $900 — $500 now and $400 later. I told him I had a police officer standing by who heard everything he just said, and he hung up. The officer told me there were hundreds of scams like this in San Diego. I thought of my friend and her elderly mother who would have had their credit card out immediately. La Jolla Light should do an article to alert people about scams like this. We’ve all gotten e-mails that claim our “grandchild is in jail and needs $$$” etc. I had one from London about my brother-in-law (he had died the
year before!). My Gmail account was hacked in December, and I had to get a new one and change 2,500 contacts! What a mess! Tell people not to open any e-mail when they don’t know who is sending it. That’s the way hackers get into your computer to do the damage. Sally Fuller
Where do we stand on priorities list? A year ago, La Jolla Light published a priority list of infrastructure projects based on the input from La Jolla Community Planning Association (Feb. 13, 2014 issue). It would be a great service to La Jolla residents if, at this point, you can also publish the progress (if any) on this list. Of particular interest to my friends and colleagues who walk along La Jolla Scenic North every day is the installation of sidewalks at Pottery Canyon Park. This park is sadly neglected by the city. It is a pity because people often stop here to view the sunset across the ocean and, on the other side, view the sunrise behind the hills. I understand funds are available from the city for sidewalk installation. If for some reason there has been no progress at all on the published priority list,

Visitor takes dim view of homeless in The Jewel During a month-long stay in your beautiful Village, I noticed a lack of concern for the “homeless” situation. I watched a person loitering in the Vons parking lot accost elderly patrons, and I witnessed an aggressive panhandler yell at shoppers on Girard Avenue. Just when I thought I had seen it all, I saw a denizen of the CVS parking lot bathing himself during broad daylight — with children walking home from school! La Jolla does not have a homeless problem; you have a lunatic problem. I’m amazed that residents are not troubled by this. Rod Davis Washington Twp., NJ
Dog poop on Eads Ave. is truly bothersome I’m writing to thank Andrea Auerbach for her letter in the Feb. 19 La Jolla Light about the proliferation of dog poop along Eads Avenue. I have two dogs and walk that street
every day, as well. Every time I do, I become angry, frustrated and embarrassed. Whoever leaves the dog poop out there is a disgrace to fellow dog owners who make it a strong point to religiously pick up after their pets. I notice many dogs go unleashed around town with their owners walking ahead and never paying attention to where their dogs are doing their business. I guess their thinking is, “if I don’t see it, it ain’t there.” Good for you, Andrea, for calling attention to this distressing, discourteous situation. Thanks again for your letter. Maria Luipaul

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS
Police consider vandalism at La Jolla High a hate crime A swastika, profanity and other graffiti was found spraypainted on walls of La Jolla High School last weekend, and a school district official said the incident is being investigated as a hate crime. The black and red paint was left on walls and a bench in the school’s quad Friday night, Feb. 20, and reported to school police the following day, said San Diego Unified School District spokeswoman Ursela Kroemer. The graffiti was cleaned Sunday. “They wanted to do an investigation before they covered it over or power washed it,” Kroemer said, adding school and San Diego police officers have reviewed security camera
footage from the school and have identified some potential suspects, although no arrests were made by press time. In addition to swastikas, the vandals also left “more white supremacist-type stuff” including the words “white America” with “some symbols that they were looking into,” Kroemer said. The school district is asking anyone with additional information that might help identify the vandals to call school police at (619) 291-7678 or the school district’s anonymous tip line at 1 (888) 580-8477.

La Jolla Shores board looks to fill 10 seats in March By Ashley Mackin La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) — residents, property and business owners who provide input on issues affecting the community’s planned district — is gearing up for some changes this year. The board’s election is next month, when eight of the 16 seats are up for grabs. However, board members Ray Higgins and Brandon Price announced they intend to step down in March, which would leave two additional, one-year terms to be filled. At its Feb. 11 meeting, a handful of candidates announced interest in running for the board. A last-minute candidate announced via e-mail the morning after the meeting. To date, 11 candidates will run for the 10 seats. The four board members eligible to run for re-election were Scuba instructor and resident Nick LaBeouf, resident and LJSA chair Tim Lucas, Surf Diva owner Izzy Tihanyi, and Café Solange owner and resident Christian Malecot. Lucas said he received two candidate announcements via e-mail from Karen Marshall, a homeowner and surf shop operator, and Brian Earley, a Shores homeowner with prior community advisory board experience. From the floor, four attendees announced they would also like to run. Dave Gordon, an occasional LJSA meeting attendee who moved to the Shores a few years ago, said he used to live in Mira Mesa, where he sat on its planning association. “I’m interested in helping the community
should have been items No. 1-5,” Lucas said. n Bylaws updated: LJSA approved revised bylaws by an 8-0-2 vote. The revisions define term limits and protocol for filling vacancies, formalize its task of appointing members to other committees, eliminate outdated requirements, and more.

and keeping an eye on things,” he said. Angie Preisendorfer, a 29-year Shores resident and owner of Rusty Surfboards, said she’d like a board seat. Duke Jarboe, public relations manager for Everyday California ocean recreation and apparel shop, said he would run to replace Everyday California owner and LJSA board member Chris Lynch, who said he would not run for re-election. Lastly, John Sheridan said he is running because “I want to represent residents and our property rights and keeping our neighborhood how people would like it to be.” The morning after the meeting, Shahar Compton also announced interest in a seat. Ballots are out, visit ljsa.org for ballot and candidate biographies. Any registered LJSA member (anyone who lives or owns a business in the area and signs up at ljsa.org) can vote. Ballots can be hand delivered to the next meeting, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday March 11 at 8840 Biological Grade, Scripps
Institute of Oceanography, or mailed to: La Jolla Shores Association, Post Office Box 64, La Jolla, CA 92038.

n More priority projects: Last month, LJSA drafted a wish list of projects the board would like the City of San Diego to fund in 2016. Although the list was submitted to City Council President Sherri Lightner’s office, LJSA voted to add two omitted items. Lightner’s field rep Justin Garver said lastminute additions would be accepted since the budget process takes six months. The first: Funding and staff hours for a review of La Jolla Shores’ Planned District Ordinance. “We’ve had several committees over the years telling us the ordinance needs updating,” Lucas said. “We have a lot of projects that get approved because they meet the code, even if they do not fit with the character of the neighborhood.” The second: Street restoration. “That
n New ranger report: Parish Rye, the ranger assigned to La Jolla’s shoreline parks between Tourmaline Park and the Torrey Pines Gliderport, told the board about safety plans for Kellogg Park. “I’m part of the new program that (this board) fought for and got,” he said, referencing the years of requests LJSA made to the city for a ranger at the heavily used park. “I’m here to work with the community. My goal is to be a liaison between the community and lifeguards and police, so your input as a community will be appreciated and needed.” He explained he would fill the gap in lifeguard and police jurisdictions. “Lifeguards face the water and deal with rescues, and police handle situations on the street. My goal is to be that middleman,” he said. The hours he spends at each shoreline park will vary based on community needs and what rangers deem necessary. “I encourage you to call me or e-mail me as issues come forward and we will adjust (time spent at each location) as issues come forward,” he said. Rye can be reached at (858) 581-9981 or prye@sandiego.gov u

38 Teams Ready to Play Ball!
La Jolla Youth Baseball to pitch 63rd Opening Day By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball
O
pening Day for La Jolla Youth Baseball feels like a reunion. All 400 kids have a game at Cliffridge Park Saturday, Feb. 28 with parents, siblings and relatives coming together to celebrate this rite of spring for the 63rd season in La Jolla — and 51st at Cliffridge Park. Thirty-eight teams are scheduled to play and all of them will have their photos taken in the morning. At noon, everyone assembles on the Bronco Field for a brief ceremony hosted by LJYB president Geoff Longenecker. Seeing all those new San Diego Padres uniforms together in one place is a sight for sore eyes and LJYB would like to thank the Padres for the generous donation of uniforms. In addition to his welcoming remarks, Longenecker will recognize seven Pony players for their “Decade on the Diamond” — Michael Campagna, Jacob Duffy, Cade Kronemyer, Jesus Labra, Lachlan MacDonald, Bobby Murphy and Marcus Scott. Sticking with any sport or activity for 10 consecutive years is a fantastic accomplishment and proof these boys honor the game of baseball. Longenecker will introduce eighth-grader Sophia Bacino to sing the National Anthem
(her brother Dominic is a Bronco player). A few questions remain: who will throw out the ceremonial First Pitch? Who will be the “Play Ball Kid”? And will there be a fly-over again this year? Off the field, Game Truck will be onsite and with a new activity — Outdoor Laser Tag! Look for them to set up a course in the right field at Pony (for ages 8 and older.) Puesto will have a tent serving their popular street tacos and other Mexican specialties. Kona Ice will also have a truck onsite. “Kids Gear for Baseball” will have bins near the snack bar to collect used baseball gear that will be distributed to children in need throughout the county (this is a nonprofit group organized by local high school students.) Bats, gloves, cleats and catchers equipment will be accepted. Jersey Mike’s will donate a free sub sandwich to every player in the league — managers will distribute cards in early March. Last but not least, don’t forget to visit Bijan in the snack bar. He’s been a part of the LJYB community for almost 20 years and has watched these kids grow up from Shetland through Pony. In the Old School spirit, every team is named for their corresponding sponsor. Sponsors are the lifeblood of a youth league
and LJYB is honored to have several perennial supporters. Several parents sponsor teams in the name of a charitable organization. This is a list of teams and managers: n Pony — Morgan Stanley (Bob Meyerott); Pharmatek (Tim Scott); Seaside Fence (Dave Hammel). n Bronco — Baxter Foundation (Jon Graff); Mitch’s Surf Shop (Bo Solis); Rotary Club of La Jolla (Ben Grieve); Science of Sport (Troy Latimer); Sector 9 (Dave Klimkiewicz). n Mustang — Garden Communities (Jay
Sakamoto); La Jolla Community Foundation (John Doback); Las Patronas (Rick Boynton); MedImpact (Aaron Roberts); Retirement Benefits Group (Michael Solis); Syntergy (Mike Campagna); Voices for Children (Rick MacDonald); Willis Allen Real Estate (Dennis Kim). n Pinto — La Jolla Gastroenterology (Bob Uslander); Murfey Construction (Jim Sampson); Natural High (Greg MacLean); Palomar Insurance Holdings (Brad Kates); Puesto (Matt Landa); Red Door Interactive (Michael Tu); San Diego Pools (Charles Hartford); SD Storage (Rafael Reyes); Seamgen (Greg Hansen); Sudberry Properties (Mike Gibbs). n Shetland Majors — California Bank & Trust (Chris Bwy); El Ranchero Mexican Restaurant (Aaron Hanson); Hagan Orthodontics (Jay Hagan); Kiwanis Club of La Jolla (Satoshi Takagawa); La Jolla Pediatric Dentristry (Chris Circuit); Murfey Construction (Ethan Turner); Palomar Insurance Holdings (Mac Armstrong). n Shetland Minors — Aladdin Bail Bonds, Alexandria Real Estate (Brent Smith); Donovan’s Steak & Chop House (Mike Cairns); La Jolla Playhouse (David Washkowiak). u — On the Web: More information at ljyb.org

Junior golfer is one of many offering hope to a sport in flux By Pat Sherman lthough it is estimated that a million players per year give up on golf — a majority of the fairway flight taking place among 18- to 40-year-olds — a new generation could slowly be taking its place, including players such as La Jolla Elementary School first-grader Daniel Chazen. In January, the 6-year-old WindanSea resident won all three junior tournaments he played in for his age division — including a U.S. Kids Golf Association tourney in Las Vegas, a Valley Junior Golf Association tourney in Temecula and Future Champions Junior Golf competition in Point Loma. He also won another Valley Junior Golf tourney in Temecula Feb. 15, and came in second place Feb. 7 during a Future Champions contest at Reidy Creek Golf Course in Escondido. Although father Ben Chazen said Daniel probably played his best since entering his first tournament a year ago, Reidy Creek proved to be a tough course with sand traps and other obstacles. In addition, the first-place finisher, Carlsbad resident Kyle Jakubowski, got three birdies in a row — a tough act to follow, Ben Chazen said. But Daniel largely takes it in stride, learning to manage what his parents

consider to be his competitive nature and the inherent frustration of golf. “That was hard on him in the beginning, maybe not winning,” said Daniel’s mother, Mimi Chazen. “He’s come so far from being really upset when he wasn’t doing that well to just kind of understanding that anybody can win at any given time. … We just want him to have fun.” Ben Chazen said in many ways golf is the hardest sport for a youngster — particularly putting — but it has taught his son patience and etiquette. “And I get to make new friends” (such as Kyle Jakubowski), said Daniel, who also expressed a passion for watching his favorite pro golfers compete on TV — including Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer. “I’d rather watch golf with my dad and learn than just sitting around on the couch,” said Daniel, who is related to Herman Barron (1909-1978), the first Jewish golfer to win a PGA Tour event. Daniel also excels at math, chess and basketball, playing point guard on a team with boys ages 8-9. “He dribbles around them and scores on a regulation hoop,” his father chimed. “You don’t want to have your kid focus on just golf,” Ben Chazen added. “You want them to be athletic, you
want them to do other sports. All the PGA pros, all the coaches and all the teachers say the same thing. … It gives you a (better) ability to play.” Daniel said golf is a good sport for retiring basketball players who can’t run like they once did. “You can do it until you’re 90 years old,” he chimed. His father, who takes Daniel to play once or twice a week at the Mission Bay municipal golf course, said the sport is not as expensive for younger players as some might think. “Juniors can get a card for $25 (for a city golf course) and then play for $10 a month,” he said. “I can bring him to Mission Bay anytime during the week that I want, unlimited. I could even bring him to Torrey Pines for the twilight rate — and I’m going to start doing that.” Asked if he has any goals in the sport, Daniel repeats the question thoughtfully. “Hmm. … I would like to get better at chipping,” he replied, adding that next summer when he is 8, he hopes to compete against junior golfers from around the world — and win — in the U.S. Kids World Golf Championship in Pinehurst, North Carolina, a distinction held last year by Rancho Santa Fe’s Jay Leng, Jr. “He’s the best 9-year-old player ever!” Daniel enthused. u

Josefowitz was a professor of management for 30 years and is an internationally known business consultant and keynote speaker. For 10 years, she had a weekly program on public radio and a monthly television segment. She’s been a Natasha Josefowitz guest on many radio and TV shows, including “All Things Considered,” “The Larry King Show” and “The Dr. Ruth Show.” She is a best-selling author and awardwinning poet of 20 business and poetry books. Her work has been published in more than 100 journals, newspapers and magazines, including the Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, Psychology Today and London Times. She is also a regular blogger on Huffington Post. Her 20th book, “Living Without the One You Cannot Live Without: Hope and Healing after Loss,” was named to Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2013. What brought you to town? I came for the winter with my husband on a sabbatical leave from the University of New Hampshire. A friend was letting us stay in her house. We never went home. They were hiring at SDSU, and he and I became the first people to share a faculty position. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would improve sidewalks, especially for the growing older population with wheelchairs and walkers. I’d also install railings wherever there are stairs. Other goals would be to decrease traffic and add parking spaces. Who or what inspires you? I’m inspired by conversations that challenge my assumptions and build on another’s ideas.

From Stem To Steam: New UCSD dean to strengthen arts in education By Will Bowen f you add the letter “A” for Arts to the educational acronym STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) you get STEAM. Moving from STEM to STEAM by strengthening the role of the arts is the new buzz in education where an interdisciplinary focus is growing and the traditional dichotomy between the arts and the sciences is fading fast. A native of Venice, Italy, Cristina Della Coletta hopes to contribute to the “renaissance” of STEAM learning as the new Dean of Arts & Humanities at UCSD. From her large-windowed office on the fourth floor of the Literature Building, Della Coletta has an expansive view of Warren Mall — all the way to the Stuart Art Collection’s “Snake Path,” which winds up the hill to the Geisel Library. She can also see the “Fallen Star,“ the little blue house perched on the corner of the top of the Engineering Building, as well as hundreds of students scurrying to their classes below, to whom she hopes to teach “durable skills in the arts and humanities … skills that can last a lifetime ... or longer.” “This is a phenomenal university,” she said glancing back from the window during a recent interview for La Jolla Light. “It is a powerhouse which is growing at an extraordinary pace. If you look at the more traditional colleges, they just don’t have the interdisciplinary thrust that UCSD has become famous for. “Here there is a marriage of the theoretical and the practical; science meets up with

The curvature in my spine (and decades of back pain that has gone with it) is likely from polio.

In later years, dad would regale us with stories of live ads that went totally wrong: opening the freezer of the Mr. Frosty refrigerator to demonstrate how cold it kept the ice cubes only to find that the hot studio lights had melted them.

There wasn’t a parent in America who would have requested a “personal belief waiver” to exempt their child from that shot. In truly unlucky timing, mere months before the vaccine became available in my community that fall, my siblings and I contracted polio during a trip to the family homestead in rural Ohio. (Likely cause: swimming in a contaminated creek with polio cases upstream.) As with all such cases at the time, we kids were immediately quarantined. Reading about the cases of people who suffered a similar fate after Ebola exposure a few months ago, I had a sudden flashback to the summer of 1955. It is so not fun being the local pariahs. Oddly enough, my parents weren’t quarantined, although my mother might as well have been. Her “help wanted” ad would have read today like: “Sitter for three kids recovering from Ebola. Probably not still contagious?” Polio aside, in my childhood, there was no hope of avoiding measles, mumps, chicken pox and rubella (German measles) — miserable afflictions that I would never have wanted to inflict on my kids. (All but chicken pox had vaccines by the time they were born.) There could also be serious lasting repercussions to these illnesses: the

acceptable behaviors of the 1960s. We also reflected, however, that back when we were pregnant, our OBs allowed a glass of wine per night for their pregnant patients on the theory that stress hormones weren’t good for the baby. Now, of course, a single glass of wine during the course of a pregnancy will get social services at your door. Earlier in the evening, we’d also been discussing the genuinely puzzling increase in autism spectrum cases in the last generation. In musings that seemed to make a great deal of sense after two glasses of wine, we observed that from a strictly empirical point of view, there was a lot less autism spectrum when women were allowed to drink and smoke (and consume coffee, lunchmeat, blue cheese, etc.) rather than the incredibly restrictive regimens they’re allowed now. It was suddenly clear to us: Autism spectrum is caused by making pregnant women miserable. OK, so that theory didn’t sound as profound the next morning. A new generation of young parents have never personally experienced diseases now preventable by vaccines. That’s both the good and the bad news. I guess for some, it’s easier to fear the autism spectrum they actually see. But I wish every parent who doesn’t vaccinate their child could travel back to a 1950’s polio ward full of kids in iron lungs, or watch children suffer horribly — and sometimes permanently — from nowavoidable afflictions.

‘Thinking Eyes’
Gillispie School teacher speaks out for art education By Ashley Mackin ow is the best time to be an artist,” opines longtime Gillespie School art teacher Susan Walters. “When you think about it, everything today is based on the image. Everything is on screens and we are bombarded with visual imagery. As artists, there is a lot of opportunity and technological advances that help get our images out.” That’s why her 20-year teaching philosophy is oriented to developing a “thinking eye” in students to help them better analyze and produce the images around them. “When you look at something to draw, you really get to know that object or person. You notice things you would have never noticed before you focused on that thing,” she said. “That’s having a ‘thinking eye.’ Even just walking or driving down the street (as an artist) you look at things and you see things with different eyes.” Parent and classroom volunteer Claudia Metcalfe couldn’t agree more. “Lucky is the child in Susan Walters’ art room,” Metcalfe said. “In her room, one just seems to notice more. More color, more twists and turns of a line, the power of a circle. The nice thing is that ‘noticing’ — that ‘thinking eye’ — goes right out the art room door and into the rest of the world. It usually does.” Walters said it’s through art education that children develop these skills. “I know a lot

of parents who don’t take art seriously, but when a child has a blank page, think about how many executive decisions he or she has to make to create a picture,” she said. “It really develops a higher intelligence.” Plus, having art in school is the draw that keeps some students interested in learning. “Some kids like math, some like writing, but some just love art. If they don’t have that, they don’t have that hook to stay in school,” Walters said. Having grown up in a handful of states across the East Coast, Walters said her most enjoyable childhood moments were spent drawing. When her father said she needed to get a job in her teen years, she offered to draw pen-and-ink sketches of homes for purchase. One of seven children, she also frequented art museums. “Art allows you to connect with people,” she said. “When you look at art, you connect to somebody. That person could have been dead for 500 years, but you still connect with them … they are alive again in their art.” To share that connection with her students, Walters often takes her classes to the Stuart Collection of Site-Specific Art at UCSD, to La Jolla Cove to sketch or take photos, or to the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego sculpture garden. The extra effort is appreciated. Courtney Coyle, whose children have had Walters as a teacher, said they especially like her summer school program. “When it came time to sign up for Mrs. Walters’ classes, my husband would get in line at 4 a.m. to make sure our daughter got in,” she said. “That’s how special she is.” Daughter Alex, now 10
years old and a student at La Jolla Elementary School, said she liked that Walters would give students space to let their creativity run wild. Coyle added, “Her attitude is geared toward creating a creative community of children in La Jolla, and that is a wonderful thing. For our kids, art with Mrs. Walters isn’t an extra for them, it’s a pillar of their education.” Metcalfe said Walters has expectations of her students: “the simplicities of kindness and politeness, and that you always try your best. Nothing more, nothing less, just your best,” she said. “There are a few rules to keep things civil. Scissors must be handled carefully and hands must get dirty, sometimes clothes get soiled, the tables and floors are meant to be made a mess of, because, as anyone in Mrs. Walters’ art room knows, there are no mistakes in art.” Walters said she came to La Jolla from New York with her then-husband and two children. Son, David, went to school at Gillespie, and his first-grade classroom is now her art room. Her daughter, Maura, is a director at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. “It’s nice to be on this side of Girard while she’s on the other side,” Walters joked. In her free time, she paints and travels. Her most recent venture took her back to New York for the “Henri Matisse: The Cut Outs” exhibit. She also takes weekly painting classes at the Athenaeum. “There is tons of art in La Jolla,” Walters said. “This is a great community that supports art and that’s really good to see.” (Especially through ‘thinking eyes’ like those of Susan Walters.) u

From UCSD Dean, B1 “Here, the present is related to the past, but not subservient to it, and the focus is on becoming something new,” Della Coletta said. “People are willing to take risks and are full of curiosity about what is behind the next corner. What powers it all is diversity. Diversity of race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation and interest.” She said there are three things she hopes to accomplish as Dean of Arts & Humanities. “The first is to expand the humanities to have a more global perspective,” she said. “Second, I want to encourage more collaboration between the arts and sciences — especially in the study of larger cultural areas or global issues, such as global warming or migration and immigration. Third, I want to bring more focus to practical ethics or how we should approach topics like genetics, big data and biomedicine.” Della Coletta also hopes to bring more residents from the surrounding communities to the campus for lectures and events, and send out more teachers to the local schools to instruct about special topics. Her Italian upbringing in picturesque Venice has left an indelible impression on her and how she views things. She is the only child of an electrical engineer and an accountant-turned-homemaker. “We lived in an apartment, like everyone else,” she said. “My father worked for a corporation in the Marghera industrial area. Everyone knew everyone else. It was a safe place. I loved to roam the island. I remember it as a very happy world.”
“
At UCSD, there is a marriage of the theoretical and
the practical; science meets up with the humanities. You see music theorists alongside music performers, art historians mingling with studio artists, engineers talking to literature professors. This great interdisciplinary focus is why I wanted to work here! — Cristina
Della Coletta
UCSD Dean of Humanities and Arts After high school, Della Coletta went to college at the University of Venice. “My second year, I got a scholarship to go to any UC school I wanted to as an exchange student. I choose UCLA, so I could to study with Professor Martha Banta, who was a specialist in the study of Henry James, an author I admired.” At UCLA, she lived off campus with other foreign exchange students and struggled to learn English. She also met Mike Thrift (now an environmental lawyer), whom she would eventually marry after a long-term, long-distance relationship. The couple has two children, a son at University of Virginia and a daughter at La

Jolla High School. After a year at UCLA, Della Coletta went back to Venice to finish college, and then chose the University of Virginia because it was one of the few places that would accept graduate students in the middle of the year. As it tuned out, U of V was a very comfortable place for Della Coletta because of the extensive use of the Italian-influenced architectural style known as “palazzo.” There were tall, white columns everywhere that made her feel at home. There, Della Coletta switched her focus to Italian literature and taught Italian for the language department. Della Coletta and her husband-to-be
”
decided they would both go to the same college for graduate study. That turned out to be UCLA, which accepted her to study Italian and him to study law. At UCLA, Della Coletta turned her doctoral research into a book about how historical fiction can offer a unique perspective for examining history. She has also written about Italian world fairs, and the transition of books into movies, such as the transformation of the American novel, “The Postman Always Rings Twice,” into the Italian film, “Ossessione.” u n Cristina Della Coletta can be reached by e-mail at dean-ah@ucsd.edu

who taunted him and defied him to go to college and earn a diploma. This became the driving force that inspired Graham to embrace Step 2: create your vision. He said people must become rainmakers with fresh ideas and meaningful goals that propel them forward and enhance their socioeconomic development. Step 2 resulted in Graham earning his academic stripes, a Master’s in Education from Ball State University. Along the journey to self-identity and freedom, Graham believes that “love,” the most powerful word on the planet, defines everything, including the passion that drives you. He called love the center of development and the universal magnet that attracts positive energy and success. A group of eight participants had a “love fest” competition that night to see who could ramble off the most things they loved in 30 seconds. The winner conjured up 24. Most competitors cherished people — beloved family and friends, followed by pets, nature, a fine glass of wine, and a good session of retail therapy. One way of achieving Step 5: stepping

By Catharine L. Kaufman hen tall, handsome Stedman Graham, Jr. sauntered into the crowded lecture hall at Torrey Pines High School Feb. 11, parents and teachers took notice of his presence even before he spoke. The globetrotting educator and motivational speaker proceeded to share inspiring and informative ideas about his Nine-Step Success Process, some of which evolved from his life experiences. Graham takes his mission — molding followers into leaders by changing the way people think and view themselves — to high schools, colleges and universities, as well as corporations, professional groups and community organizations. The core of his talk is to enlighten listeners through the metaphorical journey outlined in his self-help book, “Identity Passport to Freedom.” It starts with Step 1: gaining a deep and intimate understanding of oneself (one’s identity), which he calls “self-mastery.” Graham says we must find our life calling and define ourselves by our personal metrics — not by the labels imposed on us by the

According to Graham, we all share a single common denominator: 24 hours a day in which to be productive and achieve our goals and visions. Alas, most of us get stuck in daily habits that prevent us from thinking. This disconnect causes our actions to be misaligned with our thoughts, as we stumble through life as a myopic follower rather than an insightful leader.

To the question of what path Graham sees his own future taking, he points to Step 7: build your dream team, creating a network of supportive relationships and mentors. Graham said that along his journey, he has adopted many people with traits he admires and characteristics he would like to emulate. If you were to ask who Stedman Graham, Jr. is, no doubt he would refer you to a set of goals, passions, strengths and human imperfections he owns as his identity. u

This 1966 bus has been retrofitted to be a mobile woodworking classroom.
Mobile woodworking station founder raising funds for new bus By Ashley Mackin heila Dawson, who brings her Children’s Woodshop Bus (a repurposed 1966 vehicle) to schools and children’s centers across San Diego, needs money for a new bus. The students who participate in her woodworking classes, including children at Bird Rock Elementary School, get simplified lessons in the basics of woodworking including sawing, sanding, hammering, drilling and turning screws. However, her bus is too old and in need of too many repairs to continue for much longer. The injectors on the bus’s engine are wearing out to the point that mechanics suggested
S
the bus be retired, Dawson said. The injectors could potentially last another year or two, before the bus would stop running. Should Dawson not raise enough for a replacement, she said she would likely park the bus near her home in Clairemont and continue operations from there. Dawson hopes to raise $25,000 for a 30-foot transit-style bus that is in compliance with state emission requirements. Extensive retrofitting efforts would be taken to create child-appropriate stations and equipment storage, similar to what can be found on her bus as it is now.

Stella Maris Academy goes ’80s for fundraising gala
P
arents, teachers and alumni of Stella Maris Academy were psyched to attend the school’s fundraising gala Saturday, Feb. 21 at Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine, themed as an ’80s prom. To enhance the decor and spark conversation, guests donated their prom pictures, which were prominently displayed, adding to the fun. Approximately 200 people attended, some going the distance and donning their finest 1980s attire — including crimped hair and side ponytails. The evening started with a silent auction followed by dinner and dancing. u

New LJAA member, Anthony Drake, a retired Navy officer from Chattanooga, had four large photographs in the show. A graduate of the Art Institute of San Diego, Drake specializes in landscape, wedding and portrait photography. His best was a black-and-white photograph of his mentor, George Riley. The photo shows Riley’s wife’s hands, one touching Riley’s leg, the other holding a letter from a friend, which she is reading to him. It was taken shortly before Riley passed away from cancer. “George was a very important friend and father figure who helped push me in the right direction,” Drake said, adding that good photography is all about “capturing moments.” Ron Spelman had three paintings of

Judy Judy, are not-to-be missed. Lady Dottie said she grew up on a cotton plantation in Talladega, Alabama, one of 14 children. As the eldest, she ended up taking care of her siblings. She was blessed with a good voice and a natural talent for music, which she expressed by singing gospel and the blues. At age 18, she left for New York City because, “there were just too many people in my house!” Dottie ended up in the restaurant business while singing on the side at places like the Apollo Theater in Harlem, where in 1964, she shared the bill with the likes of Luther Vandross, Diana Ross and Gladys Knight. She came to San Diego to help open up three mission restaurants, and her singing career slowly evolved.

women in the show. His largest, a young woman looking back over her shoulder, was especially nice. When longtime member Kim Wilkins is not painting or playing golf at Torrey Pines, he works as an engineer for General Dynamics, where he’s been helping to perfect the plane launching system for the Navy’s new class of aircraft carriers. Wilkins had three paintings of jazz musicians in the exhibit, which he said he plans to take to Paris in May for the Grand Marche D’Art Contemporain. The show, which will feature more than 200 artists, is set at the Bastille. Wilkins said he will have three walls of space for his paintings and is hopeful the exhibit will bring him much more exposure.
Judy Judy Judy also said she plans to exhibit in the Paris show and had two provocative paintings of women in the LJAA exhibit. “I like to paint pictures that are sensual, bordering on sexual,” she said. “My subjects are always women who are exotic or foreign, often they are femme fatales.” Lisa Ross, who owns a gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, had three photographs on display that featured the feathered costumes and headdresses of Indian dancers from a Boi Bonga celebration in the Amazon region of Brazil. The photographs are deceptive; first you think they are paintings, and then you think they are the leaves of some exotic plants. Only with coaching, can you see that everything is a feather of some sort,

Kim Wilkins sewn together into an elaborate dance outfit. The reason for the deception is the process Ross uses of printing the photograph on a large piece of canvas. To do this, she uses a very expensive Epson printer. “It costs me $1,000 just to load the inks into the printer!” she said. Dan Hoglund did not attend the reception, but had several abstract paintings in acrylic on display. The “dog” was a very captivating piece. Shirley Church showed a colorful painting of a Chinese New Year celebration, worth consideration, and Don Ryan provided a large dose of comic relief with an oversized painting of something that was either a clown’s face or an upside down ice cream cone. It’s our guess! He also created a

Audience members get instructions about solving a mystery from Scott Nickley (left) — as the Lifeguard’s Grandson. The ‘play’ runs through March 22 at the Lafayette Hotel in the North Park area of San Diego. Photos by Jim Carmody
Audience participants hunt for clues in ‘The Grift’ at the Lafayette Hotel.
Let’s Review Diana Saenger
‘The Grift’ keeps audience sleuths on their toes
A
nyone who enjoys solving a mystery with others will want to join La Jolla Playhouse’s immersive theater presentation, “The Grift” at the beautiful, historic Lafayette Hotel in North Park. Written and directed by Tom Salamon, the interactive performance accommodates 50 audience members and requires some walking and climbing stairs. It goes like this: Attendees are separated
into groups by colored armbands and a few are given a special one with a key attached. Each group also receives five boxes that match their armband color. At each stop along the journey are clues to the combination of the lock on the box. Inside are more clues to help understand what went on in that particular spot. The Narrator (Matt Thompson) provides information about the history of the Lafayette back in the 1940s, when stars
like Bob Hope were frequent visitors. Then the group meets Ben (Jim Chovick), a resident at the hotel from the time he was born, who has led a mysterious life there, watching all the comings and goings, and who now wants help from the groups to execute one giant con. In turn, relatives of people who worked at the hotel years ago are eager to help the groups uncover the cons that have already happened in the hotel including: The Pig in a Poke, The Glim-Dropper, The Money Swap, The High-Yield Investment, Email Fraud and The Round-The-Corner. The adventures take place in several areas of the hotel. The Lifeguard’s Grandson (Scott Nickley) is a fast-talking hipster who helps the group solve the first mystery. Then it’s on to the lobby where the Bellhop’s Grandson (Chris O’Bryon) demonstrates how the Money Drop is
pulled off. Groups will venture into a room where the Nanny’s Great-Granddaughter (Dana Lau) wants to avenge deeds done to her granny in a financial deal with Chicago Joe (Bernard X. Kopsho) when she worked at the hotel. Being part of a group you might not know is really fun when everyone puts their heads together to come up with ideas, using their puzzle-solving skills. Crime solvers are also treated to a beverage and a tasty treat. u n IF YOU GO: ‘The Grift’ plays 7 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday; 6 and 8:30 p.m. Friday; 3, 6 and 8:30 p.m. Saturday; and 6 p.m. Sunday through March 22 at the Lafayette Hotel, 2223 El Cajon Blvd. in North Park. Tickets from $40 at (858) 550-1010. lajollaplayhouse.org

Drivers express skepticism over emerging vehicle technology Vehicle vocabulary such as GPS, airbags, and anti-lock brakes often ring familiar to most drivers across the United States. But words like electronic stability control, lane departure warnings, and rear-parking sensors can often garner a look of bewilderment, so a MetLife study suggests after concluding that Americans remain deeply skeptical over emerging vehicle technologies. Of Americans who responded to the
survey, nearly two-thirds said they did not entirely trust car technology, particularly with devices used in-cabin, due in part to the unnecessary reliance on GPS or in-car social networking. But while respondents doubted many of the creature comforts of today, chalking them up to mere distractions, nearly 85 percent remained faithfully reliant on tried-and-true technologies like seatbelts, airbags, and anti-lock brakes – safety systems proven to reduce the instances of car accidents. While many Americans remain technologically savvy, less than a third of those who were surveyed said they were still unsure about car technology, due in part to unfamiliarity, but also due to car technology’s reputation of creating potentially unsafe driving conditions. And in a surprising twist, many Americans expressed confusion over base safety features including electronic stability control, a
feature that helps drivers gain control over their vehicle in potentially unsafe driving conditions. Over 60 percent of respondents said they would choose a GPS device over electronic stability control due in part to the lack of knowledge surrounding useful – if not essential -- car technology needed today. Get to know your car technology Now you can be the expert on the less-commonly discussed car technology that stands at the heart of increased driving safety. Electronic Stability Control Commonly referred to as ESC, electronic stability control should not be chalked up to a creature comfort. Instead, ESC can be a life-saving device since it uses computer technology to detect slipping, skidding, and even hydroplaning, instantly engaging the brakes, so collision impacts – if they occur – are significantly reduced. Lane departure warning systems
Driving while tired is unfortunately all too common, but technology like lane departure warning systems can helpdrivers avoid a car accident altogether as it will warn drivers when they drift into another lane unexpectedly, thereby reducing the chance of collision and personal injury. Rear parking sensor If you drive a luxury vehicle, you may already have a rear parking sensor installed. But if you don’t, or if you drive an older vehicle, consider getting one installed as it can save another person’s life. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of children who are run over each year by cars backing up unknowingly. Using a rear parking sensor can help improve your parallel parking, prevent needless car damage, and most importantly, it can safe a child’s life.

Go for the gold with mighty turmeric
T
he golden boy of Indian spices, tantalizing turmeric (ginger’s first cousin and the main spice in curry) is as gorgeous and flavorful as it is healthful. It was revered for centuries by ancient practitioners for its Herculean healing powers and now by modern medicine men, including Drs. Andrew Weil and Mehmet Oz. So here’s why you should turmeric up! pork before grilling. Worth its weight in gold: Many kudos to this immune-boosting knobby rhizome with bright orange flesh. Its antiinflammatory compounds, primarily the potent curcumin, have been found to alleviate achy, creaky arthritic joints. Putting the skids on cerebral plaque formation that can lead to Alzheimer’s disease. Warding off cancer development and its spread from breast and colon to prostate and skin by disrupting the virus’ sneaky pathways. The super spice snuffs out yeasts and parasites. The powerful antioxidants have been linked to fighting off atherosclerosis by disabling harmful platelet activities. There’s more. Turmeric quells an upset stomach, relieves gum inflammation, along with halitosis and gingivitis, soothes skin irritations and swimmer’s ear. It boosts liver’s function, and prevents sunburn from fire-breathing UV rays. The root even makes meat exposed to high temperatures safer to consume by reducing carcinogenic heterocyclic amine levels when sprinkled on chicken, beef or
From soup to nuts: Turmeric aka “Indian saffron,” is easier on the wallet than the precious crimson strands from the flower of the Crocus sativus (pricey saffron). Grate fresh turmeric root or sprinkle dried powder to add vibrant eye candy to everything from soups, stews, risottos, frittatas, grilled root veggies and crucifers, mashed potatoes, condiments and sauces to cakes, almond and shortbread cookies, smoothies, savory snacks and roasted nuts, whether hearthealthy almonds, walnuts, pistachios or assorted seeds. Nothing to sneeze at: The blending of black pepper with turmeric has been found to boost the body’s absorption of the powerful curcumin compound in the bloodstream by as much as 2,000 percent, so get cracking with your pepper grinder when preparing turmeric dishes. u n For additional tumeris recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
By Ashley Mackin arly Isler was recently named 2015 Captain of the Yale women’s sailing team. Isler, a junior, has been sailing since she was 7 years old, and was at one time a member of the U.S. Sailing Olympic Development Team. Isler follows in her mother, JJ Fetter’s, footsteps. Also a La Jolla native, Fetter was a sailing team captain at Yale in 1984 and is a two-time Olympic medalist. Isler’s grandparents, Jane and Tom Fetter, are community volunteers in La Jolla. “I had always proven to be a leader on our sailing team, both on and off the water, but was still incredibly dazed and

honored to be given the title of captain,” Isler told La Jolla Light. “I am absolutely ecstatic to have the opportunity to form very close, personal relationships with each member of my team and with my coaches.” Isler said her primary goal for the team is to “Keep up the fun, cooperative atmosphere that has been present since my mom was captain in 1984.” Isler also said she would love to see the team win the national races in which Yale participates. “But to be perfectly honest, as long as I can look around at practice and witness my best friends laughing and having an awesome time out on the water, that will be sufficient.” u

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
