By Ashley Mackin Despite nods of approval from La Jolla Town Council and La Jolla Shores Association, La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation advisory board (T&T) had questions regarding a proposed extension to the sound wall alongside La Jolla Parkway, which it raised at its Feb. 26 meeting. Board members wanted to know the source of supporting data that was used in the presentation, La Jolla where funding Traffic and would come Transportation from, and what percentage of residents were actually in support of the project. T&T did not take a vote on the sound wall extension proposal, which residents hope will reduce the noise from 50,000-60,000 cars traveling along the parkway daily. See Parkway Wall, A9

Scripps Prebys cardiac center will receive its first patients March 8 By Pat Sherman fter years of planning, Scripps Health’s new $456 million Prebys Cardiovascular Institute in La Jolla will receive its first patients March 8, opening as the West Coast’s most advanced center for cardiovascular care. What Scripps Clinic’s chief of cardiology, Paul Teirstein (who is also director of the new cardiac center), lauded last week as the building’s “arty, boomerang design” seems fitting. Like a curved, wood stick tossed aloft, the quality care Scripps has provided San Diegans through the decades has come back in the form of $127 million in philanthropic gifts toward the new center. Donations came from more than 2,600 individuals, including $1 million from Scripps physicians, another $1 million from its staff and $45 million from Conrad Prebys, a real estate developer and philanthropist for whom the state-of-the-art facility is named. Addressing hundreds of donors, physicians,

staff and media during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Feb. 26, Scripps Health’s President and CEO Chris Van Gorder called Prebys’ donation “impactful” and “historic.” “We will always be grateful to you,” Van Gorder told Prebys and those in attendance. “It’s the single largest donation Scripps has ever received, and we believe it will help reshape heart care and health care in San Diego for the 21st century.” The new center includes 108 private patient rooms, 59 intensive care beds and six operating rooms, including two hybrid operating rooms and three cardiac catheterization labs, with space to add three more. (Catheterization is a procedure by which a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel in a patient’s arm, upper thigh or neck and threaded to their heart to conduct diagnostic tests and heart treatments.)

The building’s design was shaped by input from more than 200 doctors, nurses, administrators, architects and staff. Van Gorder said completion of the Prebys Institute fulfills a vision he had when he joined Scripps Health in 2000 “to see cranes on all the campuses,” heralding expansion of the Scripps Health system. The new center is a crucial component of a 25-year master plan unveiled in November 2010 that is transforming the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla campus. The master plan also calls for the replacement of the existing hospital to comply with California earthquake safety mandates.

Other additions include the Scripps Clinic John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion, a $130 million medical building being constructed adjacent to Prebys Institute, set for completion in March 2016. San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner, a La Jollan who gave birth to all three of her children at Scripps hospitals, said Scripps was one of the first outside parties to pay her a visit when she joined the City Council in 2008, to share plans for its cardiac center and its other La Jolla projects. “I am proud that Scripps continues to grow, invest and thrive in San Diego,”

On its third through seventh floors are 17 negative pressure (isolation) rooms that prevent cross-contamination between patient areas. The rooms are used to isolate patients with airborne contagious diseases such as tuberculosis, measles, chickenpox or Ebola. During his speech, Van Gorder paid homage to La Jolla benefactress Ellen Browning Scripps, who in 1924 established the original Scripps Hospital on Prospect Street. “I can absolutely tell you that Miss Ellen is smiling down on us today,” Van Gorder assured. The center will continue Scripps’ more

than three-decade collaboration with Kaiser Permanente cardiologists. Scripps’ 166 cardiovascular specialists serve about 76,000 heart patients per year, making Scripps the largest heart care provider in the region. Addressing the audience Feb. 26, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer said the new center is a testament to San Diegans coming together to achieve great things. “The research and teaching that is going to go on here is going to save thousands and thousands of lives across this country and indeed across the world, because of the techniques and technology pioneered here,” Faulconer said.

Committee rules Copley’s Foxhill estate is not historic

Overhead shot of Foxhill, a property at 7007 Country Club Drive that belonged to the late Copley publishing family. The La Jolla estate is on the market for $25 million. Victor Goodpasture estate, constructed more than a decade after the French Eclectic style had fallen out of fashion in the U.S., is not truly representative of that style, which was

popular here after World War I (1915 to 1945). “This home was completed in 1956, which is considered to be a very late example of the style,” Moomjian said.

“There’s no question the property is a very pleasing, nice home. However it’s a marginal example of the French eclectic style, whereby the Copleys hand-picked French

By Pat Sherman The spacious La Jolla estate once belonging to local publishing magnates James and Helen Copley is not historic, despite a 5-1 vote by the San Diego Historical Resources Board (HRB) to designate the property as such during its Feb. 26 meeting (the HRB needed six votes for a historic designation). Scott Moomjian, an attorney and historian hired by the David C. Copley Trust, argued that a historic designation would make the $25 property nearly impossible to sell at or near market value. “The trust … has a fiduciary duty to sell the property free-and-clear from all encumbrances, including a (historic) designation,” Moomjian told HRB members. “Designation of the property today will significantly lower the value of the property, limit the amount the trust can provide for charitable purposes — which is contrary to the Copley’s estate plan — and would prohibit or frustrate any future potential remodeling or development plans by a new owner.” The Copleys owned The San Diego UnionTribune, now called U-T San Diego. Their 8-acre estate was most recently owned by Helen’s son, its subsequent publisher and art patron, David Copley, who died in 2012 and had no heirs. HRB staff had recommended the property be designated historic based on the significance of its French Eclectic style of architecture. However, Moomjian argued the

Left: Historical Resources Board member Tom Larimer makes a motion that the Foxhill estate should receive a historic designation based on the significance of former Union-Tribune publisher James S. Copley, who resided there from 1956 until his death in 1973. The motion was one vote shy of being adopted. elements to create their nice home. One historic preservationist … in response to the assertion that it’s French Eclectic, said, ‘No, it’s more akin to a ranch house on steroids.’ Not to be demeaning, but I think that is somewhat accurate.” Several HRB members, including architect Tom Larimer, agreed with Moomjian’s assessment. Larimer said that although the work of Foxhill’s late architect, Roy Drew (a former business partner of La Jolla architect Robert Mosher), was significant, he was known more for modernism than French Eclectic. “I was troubled by the massing of the building; it doesn’t feel like French Eclectic,” Larimer said. “Most troubling to me is the revision of the roof material (in which wood shingles were replaced with slate).” Leslie Davis of the La Jolla Historical Society’s Preservation Committee noted that Foxhill was on the society’s first Secret Garden Tour.

Right: Attorney and historian Scott Moomjian argues Foxhill estate is not truly representative of French Eclectic architecture and is more akin to a ‘ranch house on Representing the David C. Copley Trust, Vicki Estrada of Estrada Land Planning, argues the grounds of Foxhill estate do not warrant a historic landscape designation.

“It’s made a mark in my community,” she said. However, Vicki Estrada, a landscape architect hired by the Copley trust, said Foxhill’s landscaping cannot be considered historic. The extent to which master landscape architect Harriett Wimmer was involved in the design of Foxhill’s grounds can not be proven, calling its historic significance into question, she said. “I found no evidence of any drawings or documents that (show) she in fact was involved in some way in the design of the initial garden,” Estrada said, also noting “the design has changed quite a bit from what was there in 1956.” HRB staff member and senior planner Kelley Stanco argued that the property could not be deemed historic based on the significance of owners James and Helen Copley because neither worked from home, and thus their business, civic and

steroids.’ Photos by Pat Sherman

philanthropic achievements would be best be linked with the Copley Library and corporate offices at 7776 Ivanhoe Ave. in the Village. (At the time of James Copley’s death, the U-T’s Mission Valley office was just being completed.) Similarly, Moomjian noted, the HRB ruled several years ago that Roger Revelle’s home on Vista Del Mar was not historic, because Revelle did the bulk of his professional work in his office at Scripps Institute of Oceanography. Regarding Helen Copley, Stanco said only time will tell if she is truly a historically significant figure. “Helen’s accomplishments appear to have occurred primarily after her husband’s passing in 1973,” Stanco said. “While highly admirable, staff believes these accomplishments are too recent to evaluate objectively within their historic context. Given more time and context Helen Copley

may well be found to be an historically significant individual.” David Copley, Moomjian said, is not considered historically significant and only lived at Foxhill as a small child and during the final months of his life. However, HRB member and landscape architect Gail Garbini argued that Foxhill should be considered historic based on the significance of its owners, due to their position in the Republican Party and the parade of state, local and federal candidates the Copleys entertained and held fundraisers for at Foxhill. In the end, board member Larimer made a motion to designate the property based on the significance of James S. Copley, from the period of 1956 to 1973. Although it received five votes, it was one less than needed for the historic designation, and the matter is considered closed. u

Parks chief: Wildlife protection behind decisions on open spaces La Jolla

If you are an active senior, perhaps ready to downsize to a more carefree way of life, an Independent Living Community may be your best option. Among the many enjoyable amenities at Chateau La Jolla Inn is the Normandy Dining Room and the amazing value offered for monthly meal plans.

That’s $8.00 for a dinner of soup or salad, entrée with accompaniments, dessert and beverage.

Open spaces outside MHPA can become dedicated parkland, Zirkle explained, at

In La Jolla’s open spaces, the issue of intended and user-made trails is also a concern. Allen noted, “As I’ve been around La Jolla and seen the open space parks … one of the things I’ve noticed when it comes to population growth is there are more trails in the open space parks. These are natural parks that were set aside and are monitored for protection of wildlife.” He asked

which point the land can only be used for park activities and not sold or converted for another use without a 50-percent approval vote of the city council. Non-dedicated parkland can be sold or converted by a city council majority vote. Open space land is valued at $35,000 an acre. Most recently, in 2012, 6,000 acres citywide became dedicated parkland. The city council has since expressed interest in dedicating other parcels. However, Zirkle said the land the Open Space Division was comfortable designating was recommended in the 2012 cycle. His concern, he said, regards areas purchased for specific uses, such as flood control, that they are hesitant to dedicate as parkland. For those who want to help maintain certain parks, specifically canyons, Zirkle recommends the organization San Diego Canyonlands, which supports “friends” groups (i.e. Friends of Kate Sessions Canyon) by helping to plan cleanup and restoration events, working with local park rangers. sdcanyonlands.org

By Ashley Mackin Deputy director of San Diego’s Department of Park & Rec’s Open Space Division, Chris Zirkle, provided La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJPB) advisory group with a presentation about open spaces in The Jewel, during its Feb. 23 meeting. “It is not often that we get someone from Park & Rec at the level of deputy director to attend (our meetings),” LJPB chair Dan Allen told La Jolla Light. “My purpose in inviting him was to raise members’ awareness of the public and private open spaces, and the natural parks in and adjacent to La Jolla. These need management just as our shoreline parks do, although obviously with lesser intensity. Parks & Beaches should address issues in all categories of parks, including the open space parks, now and then.” San Diego has three categories of parks: population-based parks, often near residential areas or schools; resource-based parks, near beaches, canyons, lakes or cultural facilities; and open spaces, which are city-owned lands consisting of canyons or mesas, intended to

protect wildlife while providing recreational opportunities. Zirkle’s division manages the latter. When it comes to how the city makes decisions regarding its open spaces — including how to manage them — protection of wildlife is often at the core. In the early 1990s, Zirkle explained, in an effort to balance wildlife protection and infrastructure expansion, wildlife agencies, property owners, developers and environmental groups partnered to form the Multiple Species Conservation Program. According to an informational page about the program found on the city’s website: “The Multiple Species Conservation Program is designed to preserve native habitat for multiple species rather than focusing efforts on one species at a time. This is accomplished by identifying areas for directed development and areas to be conserved in perpetuity – known as the Multi Habitat Planning Area (MHPA).” MHPA land, under the category of open space, helps meet the requirement of protecting wildlife. The Open Space Division of Park & Rec manages a significant portion of the MHPA, Zirkle said, giving it specific care. “We manage 23,000 acres of MHPA land and another 3,000 acres of open space that we try to preserve in a natural state, even though it’s not in the MHPA.” The city’s MHPA is 56,831 acres and includes 47,910 acres within city jurisdiction, and 8,921 acres of additional

www.lajollalight.com whether there are efforts in place to maintain intended trails without measures like fencing. Zirkle answered yes, noting “We have that problem all over town, not just in La Jolla. In a lot of cases, it’s due to path-planning efforts that underestimate the recreational needs of the community. Trails and recreation, certainly more so in the MHPA, need to be balanced with habitat preservation.” Zirkle said he and his team are working on implementing a Natural Resources Management Plan in Mission Trails and Crest Canyon, through which “we put out a revised plan that inevitably deletes some user-created trails and adds new trails that we believe are sustainable and provide enough recreation activity and discourage illegal trails (and the subsequent) destruction of trees.” Zirkle said it’s mandatory for all MHPAs to have a Natural Resources Management Plan, but establishing such for the various areas is prioritized based on the threats to native species and the sensitivity of the species being threatened. La Jolla’s MHPA will have a plan developed, but Zirkle said, “There are larger areas we are moving forward on first.” Meanwhile, one strategy is to use large amounts of brush to delineate trails, with enough heft to deter hikers from removing the brush to veer off the planned trail. “From a regulatory perspective, it’s been illegal for years to remove plants from parks,” he said. “But after hundreds and thousands of people walk on these usermade trails — each taking a little bit with them — plants get removed from the park. We are constantly fighting that battle.” u

Hedge Hazard?

FROM Club/CafÉ CloseS, A1

Resident says La Plaza landscaping could pose risks By Pat Sherman s La Jollans await the partial March 16 opening of the new La Plaza La Jolla shopping complex at Wall Street and Girard Avenue, resident William Dunne is anxious about shrubs planted there in the public right-ofway he feels will pose a safety risk as they grow taller. Dunne said he’s concerned the shrubs fronting the curb will block access to the sidewalk, forcing those who park in front of the center to walk out into the street to get around them. “If you park there now it’s difficult to get through the hedge to the sidewalk,” Dunne said. “As that hedge grows there will be no way for people to walk up onto the sidewalk safely. They’ll have to go out into traffic to get to the corner and back to the sidewalk. Traffic tends to move rather quickly on Girard and a lot of people don’t bother to stop for the stop sign. This is a safety problem, especially for those with young children … or the elderly.” Dunne said he phoned the real estate agent listed on the fence several times, but received no return call, and was given the runaround by several city departments. Contacted by La Jolla Light, City of San Diego Senior Planner Mark Brunette responded via e-mail that a city landscape inspector visited La Plaza to assess the shrubs. “The inspector informed me that the landscaping had been installed in accordance with the approved

These shrubs planted by the owner of the new La Plaza La Jolla shopping complex along Wall Street and Girard Avenue will grow to three feet. A resident is concerned they will block access to the sidewalk, forcing people who park in front of the shopping center to walk into the street to move around them.

Pat Sherman

landscape plans for the project ... (which are) consistent with City of San Diego Municipal Code.” Tara Meehan, vice president of La Plaza owner/ operator Davlyn Investments, told the Light the shrubs are a boxwood hedge that will fill in and grow to a height of three feet. She said they were planted in lieu of erecting a railing along the curb. “The city required that we incorporate landscaping into our design along Girard, and the landscaping plan was approved by the La Jolla PDO committee and all building and planning permitting agencies,” Meehan said, via e-mail, adding that the hedges replace fenced-in dining tables along Girard that were part of the

Jack’s restaurant complex that existed there prior to La Plaza’s redevelopment. La Jolla Community Planning Association board president Joe LaCava said the hedges may not have been noted in all city advisory group presentations (though they were shown in early architectural drawings which also ran in the Light). However, he added, “I agree the choice to prevent folks exiting their cars from direct access to the sidewalk is very curious.” To report landscaping issues in the public right-of-way, in city parks or on other cityowned land, phone the city’s landscape inspection hotline at (619) 980-7208. u

Reached via e-mail, Tashakorian told La Jolla Light that although he hasn’t been part of the operation since 2013, he and Pellerud are suing Haskel over “reporting, operational management and investor disbursements.” On Feb. 26, Pellerud posted a photo of the exterior of Barfly and Aroma Café on his Facebook page with the tagline “How embarrassing.” “The business is closed because there was very bad management,” alleged Pellerud, speaking with La Jolla Light March 2. “I lost $300,000.

“THE WEEK THAT CHANGED THE WORLD”

Nearby residents would like to see the sound wall along La Jolla Parkway extended tenfold to reduce traffic-related noise. Ashley Mackin From Parkway Wall, A1 Presented by Hidden Valley homeowners Richard Haskel and Rick Adams, the project would extend the wall from 200 feet — starting east of Ardath Lane along on south side of La Jolla Parkway — to 2,000 feet. “The big problem is the eastbound side because cars are accelerating up the hill (toward the 52 and I-5 freeways). If there is heavy traffic coming down the hill, it is moving more slowly and is not as noisy,” Adams said. Citing the City of San Diego Noise Ordinance and a 2004 traffic study, Adams said the ordinance limits in single-family residential zones range from 40 to 50 decibels, depending on the time of day. The traffic study he referenced indicates noise levels average 75 decibels from passenger cars, and up to 90 decibels when motorcycles pass by. Adams later disclosed the study was conducted by UC San Diego, and while he did not have it with him, he could later offer it for review. T&T Chair Todd Lesser suggested, to add credibility to their claims, project proponents have the study redone by an unbiased source. T&T board member Corey Bailey questioned the reported decibel levels. “I just Googled how loud is 75 decibels and (a search result on ask.com and hearnet.com both reported) it’s about the loudness of chamber music in a small auditorium. It is just above a normal speaking voice, which is about 65 to 70 decibels. It is just below a telephone dialtone, which registers at 80 decibels,” he said. “So from someone standing on the outside of their home, the noise pollution they are concerned with is essentially their neighbors speaking.” Another board concern was the source of funding. Arguing that usage of a city street causes the noise, Adams said, “To us, the right party to pay for this is the City of San Diego.” Early discussions with independent contractors put the cost to extend the wall at approximately $1 million. Should it be designed to look aesthetically pleasing, as was suggested by the La Jolla Shores

Association during its discussion of the project, the cost would likely jump to $2 million. Lesser said the competition for city funds is stiff, and noted that the city is still looking for funding for the second phase of the Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project, at a projected cost of $1.2 million. “For as much as this wall may cost, especially if you want to make it aesthetically pleasing, you might not get the funding,” Lesser said. “It would behoove you to see what cheaper alternatives would mitigate the problem.” Additionally, Lesser questioned what percentage of affected residents were in support of the project. Haskel and Adams said they had a petition signed by 48 homeowners, representing 100 residents. Haskel said he went to each nearby home, but not everyone was there, so he could not collect signatures from all. Drawing from his experience in getting parking time limits changed on segments of Girard Avenue from 60 to 90 minutes, Lesser said, “It’s important because this is what we do for time changes in parking, we look at all the affected homes in the entire area and note how many are in favor, how many are against, and how many could not be reached (to get a clearer picture).” Additional questions, such as whether the extended wall would bounce the sound to residences on the other side of La Jolla Parkway, were posed but could not be answered. Lesser told the presenters, “This is going to be a tough project because you are going to need a coastal permit, and because it’s so long and there are animals living there, it might also need an environmental impact report … you might also have to overcome someone who would like the money spent elsewhere. It’s going to be a big project. Get all your ducks in a row.” In other T&T news: The board approved required street closures for two annual events, the La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival (Dec. 6) and So Fine on Kline block party (Nov. 8). u n La Jolla Traffic & Transportation meets 4 p.m. fourth Thursdays at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

This group shows its support for Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Rally for potential presidential candidate held in La Jolla

ore than a dozen San Diegans gathered on Wall Street Feb. 13 to garner support for the possible presidential candidacy of Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. The group (which said it selected the location for its financially-potent street name) would like to see the Democratic politician run for the office in 2016, although she has not announced her intention to do so. “We believe in her issues, her support for the middle class, for economic justice and for the interests of the American people as a whole, as opposed to just Wall Street and special interest groups,” said rally participant Chris Barroso. “She has said she is not going to run for president, but we noticed that Barack Obama, before his campaign, said the same thing. It’s very common. But there is a lot of support for her (to run).” u — Ashley Mackin

lamented that its design was more of the same, boxy, unsightly structures that have sprouted up on Neptune Place. However, during the Feb. 17 DPR meeting, Kane and other committee members praised changes to the project that softened its appearance and incorporated some of their suggestions. The solid “modern glass box” concept presented in January was reworked into a more contemporary design, with a slightly lower elevation, sloped roofs and Cape Codinspired aesthetic touches, including whitewashed brick, white stained siding, brown

metal roofing and planters fronting unused garage doors at the rear of the property. Grass was also added to an area near the front deck, while a rooftop deck was removed from plans. “I appreciate the fact that you took some of our criticisms and worked with them,” Kane told Marengo. “This is a significant improvement. That’s what this committee is here for, to make sure new projects fit comfortably into an existing context.” Community member Ed Comartin said that, amid the drastic architectural changes that have occurred on Neptune Place, he

likes how the new project appears to retain some of the feeling of the existing home. “It’s 10 times better than what you presented last time,” he said. “It’s the first time I’ve seen anyone come back with a radical change to something (based on) the input that they (received from an advisory group). … I’ll give you credit for that.” A motion to support permits for the project made by DPR member Jim Ragsdale and seconded by Bob Collins passed by a vote of 6-0-1.

Additional DPR discussions n 5664 Abalone Place: Conversely, during its Feb. 10 and 17 meetings, DPR members were less than pleased with a project at the corner of Abalone Place and Bird Rock Avenue. Project architect Scot Frontis is pursuing a coastal development permit to demolish an existing one-story home and build a 3,101 square-foot, two-story home at 5664 Abalone Place via the city’s Sustainable Buildings Expedite Program. Exterior design elements of the modern home include titanium fascias and composite wood paneling known as Prodema that Ragsdale said didn’t fit well with the neighborhood. Several residents and DPR members argued they weren’t getting a clear enough picture of how the home fit the character of the neighborhood. The loss of one-story homes that once defined Bird Rock to make way for boxy, tall structures often built close to the property line was again lamented. Comartin suggested the committee send a message by denying the project. “These

Plans were presented for this proposed 3,101 square-foot residence at 5664 Abalone Place in Bird Rock Feb. 17, though the applicant decided to table the project to a future DPR meeting after committee members argued that it didn’t fit the character of the neighborhood. Courtesy homes are setting a precedence,” he said. DPR member and Bird Rock resident Mike Costello said his neighbors continue to bend his ear about the proliferation of large square homes in their community. Kane said ocean views in Bird Rock are being sacrificed, adding Bird Rock seems to be “going the way of Neptune Place, one building at a time. “I would work with the materials and the massing … and see if there’s something that can be done to soften it,” she said. “It’s not quite there yet.” DPR member Robert Mapes said he felt some “well-placed vegetation” might soften the appearance, while Ragsdale agreed there should be “a fairly easy way to fix this.” Frontis opted to return to a future DPR meeting after making some possible changes. n 6752-6762 Tyrian St.: DPR members were also not satisfied with a residential

The structure that will remain unscathed is under review by the city’s Historical Resources Board (HRB). Although the applicant said HRB staff has determined the home is not historic, Kane disagreed, saying HRB itself is the actual arbiter and must make that determination. She said the project design was not in context with “a tiny neighborhood that has historic homes.” In the end, the applicant opted to present the project again at a future DPR meeting. n Other DPR motions: The DPR voted in favor of the city’s plans to demolish the existing La Jolla View and Exchange Place reservoirs, and construct a new, larger reservoir at the site of existing La Jolla View Reservoir. The committee also approved a 10-year permit renewal for T-Mobile to operate cell phone antennas and related wireless communications equipment at Mt. Soledad Presbyterian Church. u

project proposed for 6752-6762 Tyrian Street in WindanSea. The project is located behind an addition to the three-story Holiday Inn Express on La Jolla Boulevard that is under construction, and a block from the La Jolla Community Center. The applicants are seeking coastal and site development permits, as well as deviations, to construct a 1,461 square-foot home, and to remodel and add 762 square feet to an existing residence. A potentially historic home at the site would remain untouched for a total of three residential condominiums. The contemporary design calls for two stories above a subterranean garage. Marengo, who previously proposed building a duplex on the site, commended the applicants for reducing the project’s impact by breaking it up into several buildings, though Comartin said he felt the white stucco with dark wood trim popped out too much.

Rotarians hear update on Cuba from visiting guest

By Vincent Andrunas Small but mighty, the Torrey Pines Rotary Club (TPR) was chartered in 1964, and recently celebrated its 50th year of service to the community. Unique among the world’s Rotary Clubs, this is a brewery-based club — its meetings are at La Jolla’s Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery — but there’s wine at all the tables, overseen by TPR’s wine director, Bernard Streiff. TPR’s Feb. 18 luncheon generated special interest through the promise of a presentation documenting a January visit to Cuba by club member Max Gurney and Captain Tommy Carroll, a retired Boeing 747 pilot, who flew for Pan American and United Airlines. Joining members were Rotarians from other locales, some from as far away as Quebec, as well as a number of guests interested in a glimpse of Cuba as renewed relations with the United States are making news. Both Carroll and Gurney were with Pan Am early in their careers. As attendees enjoyed a selection of Cuban dishes for lunch, Carroll told how his interest in Cuba was spurred by the fact it was Pan Am’s first destination. On Oct. 19, 1927, the airline first flew mail to Havana. A chartered floatplane was used to meet this critical deadline; Pan Am’s own tri-motor was stuck in Key West.

Gurney and Carroll’s recent journey was via Swift Air executive charter. The State Department granted permission for the trip, which was for cultural and educational purposes. Stills and video from the visit revealed natural scenery, beautiful architecture, historic hotels (some restored), churches, well-maintained American cars from the 1950s, and streets in worse disrepair than San Diego’s. Gurney and Carroll said they saw dancers and cigar rollers, a gallery with only Cuban art, Fidel and Raul Castro’s early home, and Ernest “Papa” Hemmingway’s former residence, from which he walked away in 1961. It’s carefully preserved, with all his belongings. Gurney and Carroll found Cuba to be spotlessly clean, but in disrepair due to little money for maintenance. Only about 5 percent of the populace is Communist, Carroll said, and people they met expressed a desire to be free of the oppression of the Castro government. There was no government interference with their interviews; people were free to express their feelings. Pan Am went out of business in 1991, but Carroll helps preserve the airline’s history through the Pan Am Historical Foundation. After his presentation, he answered questions from the audience — and passed out genuine Cuban cigars. u

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS

Convicted ex-lawyer dead in apparent suicide

former San Diego attorney who was convicted this week of forgery and writing nearly $2,500 in bad checks was found dead in an apparent suicide at his La Jolla home Feb. 25. Gary Ravet, 60, faced up to four years and four months behind bars in the case. Sentencing had been set for March 24. A San Diego Superior Court jury found Ravet guilty of five felonies on Feb. 24: passing a forged document, filing a forged document with a public office, burglary, writing bad checks and grand theft. The forged document was a deed of reconveyance that released a $230,000 lien — held by a Gary Ravet former girlfriend — on Peggy Peattie his La Jolla home. The case also included three bounced checks Ravet had written in 2013: two to Costco for a total of $2,422 and one to Vons for $59. Judge Peter Gallagher said after the verdict that he’d allow Ravet to remain free on bond to give him time to get his affairs in order. The judge asked Ravet’s lawyer to deliver Ravet’s passport to the court by noon Feb. 25. Ravet’s body was discovered by San Diego police about 10:30 p.m., after someone requested they check his welfare, police said. Ravet had more than 100 lawsuits either filed by or against him and his businesses, a review of court records

shows. He resigned from the California State Bar in 2003 to avoid disciplinary proceedings. He ran several businesses, including a production company, and was at one time president of La Jolla’s Congregation Beth El synagogue. The biggest litigation involved a lawsuit he filed over a gym membership. He was sued for malicious prosecution for bringing the gym lawsuit and eventually ordered to pay $383,000 in damages. The gym then filed its own lawsuit against him, accusing him of shielding assets to avoid paying the judgment. He lost that suit and was ordered to pay a judgment of more than $1 million. — Kristina Davis, Special to La Jolla Light

Jury selection begins in La Jolla shooting trial Jury selection got under way March 2 for the trial of a former biotech executive accused of wounding his estranged brother-in-law and an ex-business partner in separate shootings at their La Jolla homes. Hans Antone Petersen, 50, is charged with three counts of attempted murder and one count each of shooting at an inhabited dwelling and burglary. He faces up to 96 years to life in prison if convicted. About 3 a.m. on Sept. 18, 2013, Petersen allegedly fired his gun into the master bedroom of 53-year-old Steven Dowdy, a UC San Diego researcher and former business associate, as he and his wife were sleeping. “But for a dresser-table, the husband would have died,” said Deputy District Attorney Amy Maund, adding that four shots hit the dresser. “When the husband got out of bed, he was shot (in the lower back).” About four hours later, Petersen allegedly broke into a home on Cottontail Lane and fired randomly until he found his second “intended target,” the 43-year-old brother of

Petersen’s estranged wife, Maund said. Ronald Fletcher was shot in the stomach but was able to disarm his assailant, she said. Petersen was arrested later that day and remains in custody in lieu of $5 million bail. Police said the relationship between Petersen and Dowdy began to sour when Petersen lost his job and blamed Dowdy, and the suspect allegedly targeted Fletcher because of the role he played in his sister’s separation from Petersen. According to Petersen’s online resume, he is CEO of Bays Four Corp., a genome data-analysis firm headquartered in La Jolla. — City News Service

Word to the Wise

Accountant says paying taxes could help grow your business Steven Alpinieri Courtesy

By Marti Gacioch aying income taxes actually has its benefits, says La Jolla accountant Steven Alpinieri, but many taxpayers may not realize those benefits without a CPA’s guidance. “Many clients don’t want to pay any taxes, but they may not understand that protecting their income so they don’t owe any taxes could mean they won’t qualify for financing; if they don’t show income on their tax return, the banks may say they’re not a qualified borrower,” said Alpinieri, CPA. “So we advise our clients how to get the best tax treatment while still being able to qualify for financing or to obtain their personal goals.” Every day from his La Jolla office at 7575 Eads Ave., Alpinieri makes it his business to know how tax laws and the everchanging marketplace will impact his clients, who range from a small sole proprietor to a firm doing tens of millions of dollars worth of revenue. He is a graduate of San Diego State University and has been a public accountant since 1997. He became certified in 2000 and worked in other firms before opening his own business in 2010. He opened his La Jolla practice in 2012. Alpinieri’s boutique CPA firm offers all the standard services: tax audits, auditor reviews, compiled financial statements and trust accounting, but it also offers various consulting services. “We help clients qualify and apply for various tax credits, help with mergers and acquisitions, and assist people with their choice of various entity setups, including C Corp, S Corp and

LLC,” Alpinieri said. “But our niche focus is on people who have multi-service needs, including financial statements, tax returns, personal returns and advice about how to set things up.” Two new changes impact the 2014 tax filing season. One is the Obama Affordable Care Act. “Clients are now seeing penalties on their tax returns if they don’t have minimal medical coverage,” Alpinieri said. The second change focuses on property regulations that define what is a repair and maintenance versus what is a property “betterment.” “The new tax code tries to better define what is routine maintenance versus what is an improvement to your asset,” Alpinieri said. He advises clients to be proactive before tax season begins. “Between January and April, I help clients prepare tax returns and financial statements, and in the slower season — from May throughout summer — I invite them to come in and discuss what their goals are for the year and how we can plan for the next season,” Alpinieri said. u n Steven Alpinieri, CPA, 7575 Eads Ave. Suite 102, La Jolla.

La Jolla Nurses Homecare aims to help seniors’ quality of life Kyle Chan really wants to win something at the raffle! With items such as wine, olive oil, gift packs and a 100-year-old bottle of balsamic vinegar, who could blame him?

Kate Joseph and Lindsay Fraley

As president and CEO of La Jolla Nurses Homecare, Brittnei Salerno knows the signs to look for when a loved one may need her company’s services. The hard part may be getting the individual to recognize the need, however. “Sometimes, seniors can be hesitant to seek in-home care because they fear losing control over their surroundings and in general, their independence,” said Salerno. “What they come to find is wildly the opposite. We encourage our seniors to be involved with us every step of the way in planning and approving their care. This includes dictating the hours of care and what duties will be accomplished. Remember, we put the guidelines around the care, but you make all final decisions for your personal plan.” La Jolla Nurses Homecare provides safe in-home nursing and companion care. From highly technical nursing care to more ordinary daily living activities, Salerno and her staff are able to assist seniors with the care they need to remain in their homes. Salerno also said many positives are to be realized with in-home care. “Home care promotes faster healing, improved outcomes and increases the senior’s overall physical and psychological well-being from continued independence, aging in a familiar place, companionship, security, greater feelings and general assistance with activities related to day-to-day life,” she said. “We have been providing care in the community for close to four decades, serving thousands of seniors. We have the experience and history they can trust.” Give us a call (858) 454-9339 2223 Avenida de la Playa #103, La Jolla, 92037 www.LaJollaNursesHomeCare.com

I’m writing to comment on Stephen Roberts’ letter regarding the sea lions at La Jolla Cove. Bravo! Finally someone has thought this problem through. While it is heartbreaking to see the starving pups dying on the beach, “saving them” is not the answer. Human interference is wrong, especially when it will make matters even worse in the future. What will happen when all those “saved” animals are returned to areas that cannot sustain the populations they currently have? This needs to stop. On another note, with reference to the “baby lobsters” on La Jolla beaches, I believe they are Pleuroncodes planipes, better known as pelagic red crabs, or tuna crabs. They appear almost annually on local beaches and are a favorite food of tuna and other pelagic fishes (hence the name). Barb Pebley

Get rid of the sea lions before they draw sharks There is a major situation in San Diego concerning the sea lions at La Jolla Cove. These animals are now multiplying at an alarming rate. SeaWorld has rescued so many starving sea lion pups, nearly doubling in number, every month. La Jolla Light has been covering it. Last week, a reader wrote that we should just let the pups die, which is the law of nature. The bad thing about that is what happens to the dead sea lions? The local Great White sharks regard baby sea lions as their favorite easy meal. Unfortunately, all of this adversely affects people in the area. The Cove has become a huge sea lion rookery. Imagine the Great Whites waiting all around the Cove for the baby sea lions, just like they do at the Farralon Islands and the South African reef, which you see in documentaries. When we lose a swimmer

OUR READERS WRITE or a tourist or two, imagine what will happen to San Diego tourists’ favorite pastime? My guess is they will not stay or even visit San Diego! Further, the stench from their excrement and afterbirth has been destroying businesses. I can’t imagine eating dinner at a Cove restaurant with that smell; I’m sure you can’t even taste your food. I grew up in La Jolla and have spent the last 45 years at the Cove. Like many others, I swim the mile-to-mile markers there, for exercise and preparation for the rough water swims. Tourists from all over the world come to enjoy the water and the schools of fish there, which are right next to the shore where children can snorkel and view them in their natural environment — and when you can do this year-round without a wetsuit, it’s a situation unique to the West Coast. Finally, I’m sure you can figure out where the rotten excrement and afterbirth go … that’s into the water where all of us swim. (And that’s in addition to the fresh excrement the sea lions expel right next to us in the water!) This will draw sharks because their sense of smell can detect the odor from a mile away or more. It’s only a matter of time before they come in and attack the sea lions more, as well as the people swimming offshore. There were three or four Great White sightings in the last couple of years. I remember about 10 years ago when the gillnet fishing boats were allowed to fish along the coast, they caught baby Great Whites in their nets off Blacks Beach. I’ve been attacked a couple of times, most frightening was when an 800-pound bull sea lion was trying to mate, I assume. I was in the shallows and he came flying up to me with his mouth open to within a foot of my face, most definitely very upset. I’d like to see SeaWorld catch and relocate the Cove sea lions to San Clemente Island where the conditions are the same as La Jolla, except sea lions will find more food and less people

there. This needs to be done soon or it will result in the point of no return, when San Diego gets an international reputation for Great White shark attacks! Robert Fletcher

City faces pricey lawsuits over sea lion situation The City of San Diego is negligent in not handling the sea lion challenges at La Jolla Cove. A lawsuit has been filed against the city by a group of La Jolla business owners trying to eliminate the stench originating from sea lion fecal material. The city has the absolute authority under section 109(h) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) to remove the sea lions any time. It does not need a permit; it does not have to notify NOAA. The suit was filed because the city failed to take affirmative action to correct this financial, environmental and potential health risk to humans. This lack of action will continue to cause the city to expend funds to defend indefensible actions. The risk to the city is not from the stench, per se, it is from the animals themselves. The city has attempted to resolve the situation by opening the fence above the rookery and allowing citizens to walk near the sea lions. This action is a violation of MMPA section 109(a). But NOAA will not monitor the city’s actions with respect to any marine mammal within its purview. There are several potentially serious financial risks to the city. Encouraging citizens to harass wild marine mammals presents monumental risks to human health and welfare. Anyone infected at that site with a known mammalian pathogen will blame the sea lions and then the city for failing to fulfill its health and safety responsibilities. Risks arise from approaching a bull sea lion guarding his harem. These 600-pound animals with two-inch incisors charge quickly. The outcome is predictable and not very pretty. This scenario is bound to happen sooner or later.

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com It has happened elsewhere. Eventually, someone will fall off of the rocks into the water and become grievously injured, either because of sheer stupidly or as an act to avoid a hostile sea lion. The city will be held responsible. If the sea lions are not removed from the Cove, their presence will be an open invitation to Great White sharks that food is available there. Swimmers routinely swim from the Cove to Scripps Pier crossing over the mouth of an underwater canyon known to researchers as a white shark nursery domain. A dark wetsuit silhouette, when viewed from below by an “ambush” predator,

looks like a marine mammal in distress and an easy target for a hungry, Great White shark. And when (not if, but when) that happens, the city will face a monumental lawsuit. City officials cannot claim ignorance, since they were informed of the potential problem at least a decade ago. Great White sharks do exist in waters off La Jolla. Photographs have been taken at the Children’s Pool of harbor seals “hit” by Great Whites, but made it back to shore before becoming lunch. Seal activists claim the seals were run over by boats and the wounds made by boat propellers, but there is a

monumental difference between propeller wounds on a marine mammal and the well-documented, distinctive tooth marks of a shark. I do not want to see my tax dollars going to pay for avoidable liability because the city did not take proper precautions.

Setting the record straight It would be even more interesting if the historians actually taught history rather than fiction. In regard to the advance on the Holocaust discussion series in the Feb. 19 La Jolla Light, there was no such entity as the “Polish slave labor camp at Starachowice.” There were several labor camps in the locality, but they were set up and run by Germans — the people who invaded and occupied Poland in 1939.

Inga did nice job on polio story I’d like to thank and congratulate Inga for her Feb. 26 Light column on polio and vaccination.

City issues ‘notice of right to appeal’ sewer rehabilitation jobs The City of San Diego has issued a “Notice of Right to Appeal an Environmental Determination” for future sewer pipe rehabilitation jobs throughout the city, including planned work on La Jolla streets. The work was reviewed by the San Diego Planning Department and a determination made that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The projects consist of rehabilitating 3,268 existing four-inch sewer laterals, totaling approximately 103,417 linear feet, or 19.6 miles throughout the city. Sewer lateral rehabilitation projects line old and deteriorated sewer laterals with a hard plastic liner after the main has been lined. All excavation would occur within city right-of-way and no disturbance of native soils is proposed. Applications to appeal the CEQA determination made by staff to the City Council must be filed in the office of

the City Clerk by March 16, 2015. The appeal application can be obtained from the City Clerk, 202 C Street, Second Floor, San Diego, or by calling city project manager Maryam Liaghat at (619) 533-4192.

GIRLS WATER POLO: The Bishop’s School Knights 7, Cathedral Catholic High School Dons 6

Knights’ deft defense leads to CIF title By Kyle Loomis he Bishop’s School Knights Girls Water Polo team won the CIF Open Division title Feb. 28 after defeating the Cathedral Catholic High Dons 7-6. It is the Knights’ fifth championship in a row. This year’s tournament victory was achieved after two hard-fought matches against familiar teams. The Knights had to come from behind to beat the Dons on Saturday night, as well as defeat a young, talented La Jolla High School team in the semi-finals on Feb. 26, both matches at La Jolla’s Coggan Family Aquatic Complex. Everyone in attendance for Saturday night’s finals match knew the game would be a nailbiter after a scoreless first quarter. Bishop’s coach Doug Peabody said it was “scary.” Fortunately for Peabody, and the Bishop’s supporters, the team was ready to step up for the big moment. None more so than senior goalie Maddy Kafka-Asper, who was the primary factor behind Cathedral Catholic High’s inability to score in the first quarter. One of the Knight’s critical defensive tactics throughout the game was to prevent the Dons from scoring from two meters, the offensive position closest to the goal. This led to several Dons shots from the perimeter, and it was Kafka-Asper’s responsibility to block them. “We left her out to dry a bunch,” Peabody said of his goalie. The strategy spoke volumes about the team’s confidence in Kafka-Asper, who ended the game with nine blocks, and the game ball from Peabody. “I believe the goalie is the most important player in the pool,” Peabody said. “If she can’t play big in big minutes, then we can’t play big as a team.” The game finally opened up in the second quarter, with some goals on both sides off of man-up situations and counter-attacks. After the teams traded goals for those seven minutes, the Knights found themselves down 4-3 at halftime to the Dons, who were well disciplined on defense throughout the game. Similar to Bishop’s, Cathedral Catholic’s usual defense was a well-run press that inevitably would devolve into a crash into

two meters in order to minimize the threat of Bishop’s sophomore Georgia Gilmore, who scored two goals. Gilmore’s value can’t just be measured in statistics. Before the beginning of the fourth quarter, when the teams were tied at five goals apiece, Gilmore told her teammates to give their best effort. “I’m a naturally competitive person, I want to try to leave all my energy in the pool, and I want everyone else to do the same. If we all leave everything in the pool then there’s no way we can lose,” Gilmore said. Peabody said that there are a few players that are effective motivators on the team, and that their value can’t be underestimated. “They have a command and demand about them that says, ‘Let’s all

rise together,’” she said. “It’s definitely a necessity,” Kafka-Asper said of Gilmore’s attitude. ”It gives us a second wind. We knew we could do it. It’s just once we started losing, you could tell we got a little more discouraged, so we definitely need people like that.”

Against the Vikings

That game mentality was a driving force for the Bishop’s School Knights throughout the season, and was especially evident during their semi-finals game against the La Jolla High Vikings on Thursday night. In a heated game where both benches received yellow penalty cards, the Knights were able to put shots in the back of the net, where the Vikings were shooting off the bars

or further wide all evening. There were stretches where La Jolla seemed threatening. The Knights were up only 3-1 at halftime thanks to some strong defense by the Vikings, but Bishop’s was able to put away the game later on. The final score was 8-4. “What it came down to is that we weren’t putting away the shots that we needed to,” said La Jolla High coach Keller Felt. “We had opportunities and we didn’t quite follow through. They were there, but they were just missed.” The first-year coach said she was proud of her team, and is optimistic about the young team for next year. “Everybody grew throughout this season, and I look forward to continue coaching,” Felt said. u

a Jolla High School quarterback Collin Rugg and Bishop’s School running back Bulla Graft are trading one “Jewel” for another. The top-performing La Jolla athletes have each signed national Letters of Intent to play football for William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri. Rugg, a two-year starter, racked up a total of 5,965 passing yards and 70 touchdowns during his tenure at La Jolla High. He finished his senior season as one of San Diego County’s top quarterbacks, breaking a 15-year-old, single-season touchdown record with 46 passing scores. Other notable honors for Rugg include first team All-CIF, offensive MVP at the San Diego FNL magazine All-Star game, and “ScholarLeader-Athlete” honoree of the San Diego Chapter of the National Football Foundation.

Graft, the play-making running back from The Bishop’s School, accounted for 40 touchdowns last season. In an earlier interview with La Jolla Light, football coach Joel Allen, who has coached Graft all four years at Bishop’s, said his “football IQ” is higher than anyone he has coached. In his senior season, Graft averaged 12 yards a carry, and Allen said about every third or fourth time Graft touched the football, he scored a touchdown. William Jewell College is a private Liberal Arts school east of Kansas City and participates in the Great Lakes Valley Conference at the NCAA Division 2 level. Together, Rugg and Graft are destined to deliver a potent offensive boost to the Jewell College football program, and the legacy of their hometown Jewel. u — Pat Sherman

section b 10 QUESTIONS

Life’s an open book for La Jolla Library chief Shaun Briley

haun Briley has seen the book business from all sides: published author, retailer, marketing rep for a publishing company and finally librarian. Briley started his career as a journalist working for a British conglomerate that sent him to the Persian Gulf to cover the war against Iraq. Later, he wrote a book titled “How Not to Live Abroad,” about living in Spain, which was likened to “Under a Tuscan Sun” or “Year in Provence” – gone wrong. The experience ultimately drove him to the sunny climes of California where he has finally laid down roots. Shaun Briley A resident of La Jolla, he took the post of branch manager on the retirement of former librarian, Catherine Greene. What brought you to La Jolla? I had my first date with my future wife here (she is an attorney who has lived in or around La Jolla for a decade). After pestering her to go out with me she finally told me to meet her at Pannikin one evening. When I showed up at the appointed time, I discovered that the café had been closed for hours and the street was deserted. Naturally, I was convinced the whole thing was her way of standing me up. Needless to say, she didn’t, and I have been in love with the place ever since. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would get rid of May gray and June gloom. Growing up in England, I had enough of that stuff to last me a lifetime. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, John Cleese, Stephen Fry, Woody Allen, George Burns, and pottymouthed celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay to cuss at everyone while he cooks the dinner.

Beth Israel

San Diego’s oldest and largest Jewish congregation Editor’s Note: This is the ninth in a bi-monthly La Jolla Light series examining the various faith communities in our town and the people within them.

La Jolla’s

Faith C

By Linda Hutchison ith a history going back more than ommunities 150 years, Congregation Beth Israel is San Diego’s oldest and largest 9th in a Series Jewish congregation. It is also the only known synagogue in the western United States that has occupied three separate buildings that are still standing — each originating in a different century. The mid 1800s, with the California Gold Rush, attracted many adventurers to the new state, including Jewish merchants. At first, the Jewish immigrants settled in San Francisco, but they didn’t like the cold climate, so they headed south, said Rabbi Michael Berk, senior rabbi of Congregation Beth Israel. “San Diego was considered a good place for business, with a natural harbor and a growing population,” Rabbi Berk explained.

His countryman, the blind organist Jakob van Eyck absorbed the ‘Polish nobleman’ (1637) by Rembrandt popular music of England National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. and the European continent, transforming simple melodies into complex and elaborate sets of variations. n April 7: 1650-1700 in France and Germany The 17th century marked the ascendancy of France under the reign of Louis XIII and Louis XIV, becoming the dominant cultural force in Europe. At the same time, the German Empire gained new strength through conquests in Eastern Europe. French artists such as Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain were paralleled by composers Denis Gaultier and Louis Couperin. Jean-Baptiste Lully was a great innovator in the realms of opera and ballet. In Vienna, international composers like Marc Antonio Cesti and Jakob Froberger were active in the court. In the North, the Protestant Church rose to prominence, producing composers such as Dietrich Buxtehude.

Symphony & Chorus amasses 300 performers for ‘Requiem’ From LJS&C Reports

L Tenor soloist John Tiranno

a Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) will perform Hector Berlioz’s “Requiem,” in the fourth concert of its 60th anniversary season, 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 13, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 14 and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 15 at UC San Diego’s Mandeville Auditorium. Music director Steven Schick will conduct orchestra, chorus and special guests — the San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus and tenor soloist John Tiranno — in one of the most fabulous pieces of music ever conceived. Berlioz’s “Requiem,” composed in 1837, is one

of the grandest settings of the Roman Catholic Mass for the Dead. Berlioz knew while composing it that his Grand messe des morts, as he called it, would be premiered in Les Invalides, the cathedral of the military hospital in Paris. With the cathedral’s huge, resonant interior and gigantic dome in mind, Berlioz created a sound that would fill that space. For an “ideal” performance, the composer imagined an orchestra of 200 and a chorus of equal size that could be doubled or tripled, as space permitted. Berlioz surrounds the chorus and orchestra with four brass ensembles that burst to

life at climactic points and eight pair of timpani to lend their thunder to dramatic moments. Combining 70 voices from the San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus with its own 130-voice chorus, large orchestra, four brass bands and 16 timpani, LJS&C will perform the work in all its spectacle. Schick will offer a pre-concert lecture one hour prior to concert times. n IF YOU GO: Tickets are $36 general, $34 senior, and $18 student. Group discounts available.

Mini documentary traces LJS&C history ■ In 1954, Bulgarian conductor Peter Nicoloff found himself in La Jolla and decided to put together an orchestra of non-professional musicians who would play just for fun. On Nov. 11, 1954 he led them in “an open rehearsal” that took place in the parlor of the Congregational Church on Cave Street, and the La Jolla Civic Orchestra was born! Performances moved to La Jolla High School auditorium and later Sherwood Hall. In 1967, the newly formed music department at UC San Diego was looking to sponsor an orchestra. The Civic Orchestra became an “affiliate,” under the direction of Thomas Nee, and was soon joined by a chorus comprised of singers from all of the churches in La Jolla. To celebrate its 60th anniversary and hundreds of performances, LJS&C put together a lively 6-minute documentary. View it at bit.ly/LJSChistory

Vasily Korinsky (Robert Dorfman), Moishe Bretzky (Ron Orbach), Pinchas Pelovits (Eli Gelb) and Yevgeny Zunser (Hal Linden) debate their threatened lives in ‘The Twenty-seventh Man’ at The Old Globe Theatre.

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

The Old Globe’s ‘Twenty-seventh Man’ is remarkably poignant

ew people have heard of the Cold War-era event when Joseph Stalin rounded up professional writers, poets and journalists and had them murdered for work that was not “nationalist in form or Soviet in content.” In the West Coast premiere of “The Twenty-seventh Man,” playwright Nathan Englander enlightens us. It’s a show not to miss.

The arrests were unexpected since the work of Soviet Jewish writers was established in Yiddish schools, publishing houses, newspapers and theaters. According to background about the production, when Englander read about the atrocity it bothered him for years until he decided to write this play so those executed would not remain silenced.

At The Marine Room, Every Meal is a Special Occasion.

The minimal set at The Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre is a perfect match for the drama that unfolds brilliantly thanks to the amazing cast. When the curtain rises, four writers are arrested and thrown into prison to await their judgment. Hal Linden plays wellknown Yiddish author Yevgeny Zunser with a very even tone. When Zunser speaks about the injustice of what’s happened to him and the others in their jail cell, it’s the flair of his words that, even in desperation, are profound and without fear. “It’s like I’m one man with two lives,” he says. Linden can bring any character to life, as proven by his many theatrical awards and nominations. Robert Dorfman is equally dominant as Vasily Korinsky, a contrite Jewish man determined that he will be released by Stalin to whom he’s been loyal. Dorfman’s ability to infuse Korinsky with delightful humor (especially when he’s mad), wit, and ultimately, bewilderment, when he questions his own statement that, “The Party doesn’t forget its own.” When Ron Orbach’s character, Moishe Bretzky, is thrown to the floor in a drunken stupor, the audience appreciates the comic relief. Korinsky mocks him, but Bretzky can take more from his cellmates than they can give, and adds a lot of humor to this retelling of a tragic event in history. It’s when the Guard (Lowell Byers) brings a barefoot young man and throws him into the cell that personalities ignite as the characters delve into why this kid is accused of the same crimes they are. Eli Gelb portrays Pinchas Pelovits, a

novice writer defined by his perceptions of the moment. Because his works have never been published, his cellmates do not understand why he’s in jail. Gelb enriches Pelovits with an energetic and gratifying joy over meeting these writers. When they caution him to beware of the situation, he’s too euphoric about where he is to worry about why he’s there. Englander’s script, in the hands of Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein and this superb cast, makes for a thoroughly engaging night at the theater. u n IF YOU GO: “The Twenty-seventh Man” runs matinees, evenings through March 15 at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

They also commissioned a new Torah, hand scribed by a woman. As a Reform Congregation, Beth Israel embraces this rich history and continues to be forward-thinking. Rabbi Berk also likes to reach out to interfaith couples and has officiated at several interfaith weddings. “We are an open, welcoming, accepting congregation,” said Rabbi Berk. “What is central to our mission is to be an honorable

We strive to live up to this.” Beth Israel’s areas of focus, with dozens of services, programs and classes, include spiritual and social connection, learning, caring and social action, including connection to Israel. The synagogue offers regular worship services on Friday and Saturday, as well as spiritual counseling, funerals, weddings, and bar and bat mitzvahs. Those who want to expand their social network can join several groups, including a men’s club, a women’s group,

The first few Jews in the San Diego area settled in and around Old Town. Coming together as a congregation under the name Adath Yeshurun (Assembly of Israel), they met in private homes and were on the liberal (Reform) side of Judaism. Their liberal mindset was understandable, added Rabbi Berk, “Who comes to the Wild West?” In 1887, the congregation incorporated as Congregation Beth Israel (House of Israel) and two years later, they built their first synagogue at Second Avenue and Beech

Street. There, the congregation remained for almost 40 years. In 1926, they moved to its second synagogue at Third Avenue and Laurel Street, their home for 75 years, “half our history,” said Berk. In 2001, having grown from 400-500 to 1,300 members, Congregation Beth Israel moved to its current location — a three-acre site 12 miles north of downtown in University City, east of La Jolla. Today, the first synagogue stands in Heritage Park in Old Town, where it was moved in the 1970s and is used for special events. The second building, still at Third and Laurel, is

5 Threats That Could Derail the housing Market In last month’s column, I discussed some of the expectations and predictions for the housing market in 2015. And much of that was good news. We appear to finally be safely out of the housing market crisis that has plagued the last seven years or so. And while we hope that 2015 continues down that path of recovery, there are still several factors that could disrupt this progress. If you are thinking of becoming a buyer or seller this year, here are five things to watch for: 1. Fewer foreign buyers In the last several years, the presence of

foreign buyers has helped the housing market in its resurgence. There are signs, however, that point to this trend slowing dramatically. One of these factors is the strength of the dollar. The stronger dollar makes U.S. housing more expensive to foreign investors, especially for those in Europe where many economies are struggling. Russian buyers are especially having a hard time as they face plummeting oil prices, a weakening ruble, as well as international sanctions. According to the California Association of Realtors, the number of sales to international clients has dropped about 25%. 2. Investors cash out Along with foreign buyers, institutional investors also played a large role in the housing market’s recent recovery. They bought up thousands of properties and turned them into rentals. But because home price increases have slowed, the timing is looking right for these investors to cash out and see significant returns on their

investments. According to RealtyTrac, for those institutional investors who purchased a home in 2012, they could see a 38%-43% return if they sold now. This also means that far fewer institutional investors will be buying this year. 3. Difficulty in borrowing Although homeowners were ecstatic to learn that lenders like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had recently backed off on some of their strict lending standards, it doesn’t mean that getting a mortgage is necessarily going to be much easier. Most lending companies may still be nervous about the risk involved in many buyers. Last month, I talked about the hoards of millenials that will be entering the market as first-time buyers. But these potential buyers come with limited credit histories and stacks of debt in the form of student loans. Other applicants may be previous homeowners who lost their home to foreclosure but are now looking to reenter the market. But these buyers come with damaged credit histories

and other financial baggage. For these reasons, expect lenders to still be stringent with who they lend to. 4. Increasing mortgage rates While many experts are predicting the mortgage rates to stay fairly mild this year, hovering around 5%, there are no guarantees. The Federal Reserve, which sets the bar in this regard, could very well come out with something much higher than people are expecting. Stan Humphries, chief economist from Zillow, says that if rates climb to 6%, it would mean that home buyers in high-priced markets would be spending more than half of their income on housing. This could stall the market if home prices don’t then drop to something more affordable.

Dear Kitchen Shrink: I have trouble doing dairy, whether it’s a sensitivity to cow’s milk or a lactose intolerance. I’ve tried non-dairy alternatives, everything from soy, almond and cashew milks to oat, rice and hemp, but they don’t seem to have the taste or texture I crave. Any suggestions for yet other alternatives would be much appreciated. Julie Costello La Jolla

et your goat: A member of the bovidae family, whose relatives include sheep, cows, deer and antelope, goats were the first animals to be domesticated by humans circa 10,000 B.C., and to be used for their milk. Here’s why: Goat’s milk contains a different strain of the protein casein, along with less lactose (milk sugars), both culprits in cow’s milk that cause gut disturbances, including bloating, gas and diarrhea. This double boon makes goat’s milk tolerable to many people who have sensitivities, allergies or lactose intolerance to moo milk. Goat milk is naturally homogenized, meaning it has smaller fat molecules, as well as softer and smaller casein curd than cow’s milk, making it closer to human milk in its composition, and more easily digestible. While goat’s milk can be digested within 20 minutes, the cow counterpart can take three or more hours to digest, fermenting in the large intestine, wrecking havoc on the poor gut. Nutritionally, goat milk contains more essential fatty acids than cow’s milk for cellular development; 13 percent more calcium for boosting bone health, particularly for warding off osteoporosis in menopausal women; 47 percent more Vitamin A for ocular and skin health; 25 percent more Vitamin B-6 to dial up cardiovascular, nerve and immune systems; a load more of the mighty Vitamin D warrior for calcium absorption and cancer prevention, fluid balancing potassium, along with important trace minerals, such as copper, antioxidant manganese, heart-healthy magnesium and anti-carcinogenic selenium. Free-range herbivore grazers, goats nibble on a diet of natural vegetation, and don’t do drugs — including Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH) and antibiotics, typical injectables for conventional cattle. Finally, chalk up another point for goat milk, since

it is alkaline, while cow’s milk is acidic, the latter contributing to heartburn or GERD, particularly with the consumption of sour cream, ice cream and other dairy products. Goat goodies: Goat milk can be enjoyed fresh refrigerated, in powdered form, or evaporated in a can. Try cultured goat kefir, a refreshing and tart probiotic, immune boosting powerhouse; fruity yogurts; lightly salted butter; or the variety of cheeses from creamy chevre (French for goat), raw milk feta, and mozzarella to cheddar, Muenster or Colby-Jack. Goat milk and other spin-off products are as scrumptious in sweet breakfast dishes and desserts as they are in appetizers, side dishes, soups, salads and entrees. Bake a batch of cranberry goat cheese scones, or whip up goat frittatas or quiches. Blend chilled goat yogurt soups with melons, berries, cucumbers or avocados, or a silky green goat kefir smoothie. Toss Greek or Cobb salads with crumbled goat feta, or concoct bruschettas with Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes and melted goat mozzarella, along with pizzas and flatbreads, stuffed shells or lasagna, chicken breasts Cordon bleu-style. For sweet endings, try a riff on carrot cake with a goat cream cheese icing, cheesecake, flans, parfaits or sorbets. Some will find the taste of goat milk and cheeses unusual and musky, so scope out brands with milder flavors like products from the breed of Nigerian Dwarfs. u n For additional goat milk or cheese recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Let’s Review Lois Alter Mark

‘Chapter Two’ takes playful poke at second time arounds

orth Coast Rep opened a four-week run of “Chapter Two,” Saturday night, the play that launched the Solana Beach theater company back in 1982. There’s something ironic and fitting about the company going back to its roots with this aptly-named production 33 years later. The Neil Simon classic debuted on Broadway in 1977 and was nominated for four Tony awards, including Best Play. Two years later, the playwright’s semiautobiographical story was turned into a movie starring James Caan and Marsha Mason — who, as Simon’s second wife, was actually the inspiration for the female lead and who was nominated for both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for her performance. According to North Coast Rep Artistic Director David Ellenstein, who stars in and co-directed “Chapter Two” with Christopher Williams, “There has been a ‘rediscovery,’ as it were, of the comedic skills, dramatic situation and great dialogue that propelled Neil Simon to become perhaps the most produced playwright of the 20th century. There seems to be a full-out comeback for Mr. Simon’s canon of work.” Maybe it’s a longing for a simpler, preInternet time when people actually spoke to each other and their sentences contained more than 140 characters. Both the story and the time period hold a cherished place in the hearts of a generation, and this new production brings its audience right back to 1979,

evoking a sense of nostalgia that baby boomers in particular will appreciate. In the four-character play, George Schneider (Ellenstein) is a recentlywidowed New York City writer whose press agent brother, Leo (Louis Lotorto), is determined to get him back out into the world — and into the dating market. On the other side of town, actress Jennie Malone (Jacquelyn Ritz) has just gotten divorced, and her best friend, Faye (Mhari Sandoval), is trying to get her to move on and find someone new. Although neither George nor Jennie have any interest in meeting each other, they accidentally end up talking on the phone — and, after a choppy start, that’s when the story really comes alive. It sinks its teeth into the audience and keeps them hooked through the ups and downs of the pair’s whirlwind romance, fast marriage and subsequent problems. There’s no question that the play itself feels dated. George writes on a typewriter and talks about spending $50 an hour for therapy and having a Fresca in the TWA lounge. Jennie’s Pucci print dress would now be considered vintage, and Simon’s one-liners have an old fashioned Borscht Belt charm. In fact, on opening night, the biggest laugh came when Lotorto tripped over the cord of George’s desk phone and, on his way out the door, turned around and adlibbed, “Hey, and buy a new cordless phone, OK?” It was like he had addressed the

David Ellenstein and Jacquelyn Ritz star in Neil Simon’s ‘Chapter Two’ at North Coast Repertory Theatre. Courtesy elephant in the room, and everyone could now just sit back and enjoy. The four actors — all of whom NCRT regulars will recognize — are excellent. Ellenstein and Ritz have a natural rapport best showcased during the couple’s initial phone conversations, which are warm and funny and set the foundation for their future together. Those scenes work especially well thanks to a fantastic set design by Marty Burnett, which splits the stage into his and her Manhattan apartments. The ‘70s are powerfully brought back to life through the dead-on details provided by lighting designer Matt Novotny, costume designer Alina Bokovikova, sound designer Chris Luessmann, properties designer/set dresser Benjamin Cole, hair and wig designer Peter Herman and scenic artist John Finkbiner. Dealing with love, grief and second chances, Simon’s story is timeless and universal. Despite technological advances

and sites like match.com, dating hasn’t changed much in all these years and audiences will relate when George and Jennie agree, “No matter how old you get, this never gets easier.” They’ll also empathize with George’s inability to stop mourning the loss of his wife and will understand when he says, “Let’s take it one night at a time.” “Chapter Two” is certainly enjoyable and will most likely appeal to an older audience. If you’re looking for a modern touch, though, well, that only comes before the show starts, when everyone is asked to turn off their cell phones. You can bet that never happened during the original production. u n If you go: “Chapter Two” runs through March 29 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $42 at (858) 481-1055. northcoastrep.org

City Ballet presents three treasured works in ‘Balanchine Spectacular’

Ariana Gonzalez and Gerardo Gill in ‘Rubies’ with choreography by George Balanchine Dale Stokes

By Kris Eitland His ballet directive “Glissade, jeté, assemblé, sissonne, pas de bourrée” sends waves of dancers gliding and leaping from the corners of the studio. Lean and softspoken, Steven Wistrich, artistic director of City Ballet, watches and claps out the beats while a pianist repeats waltz rhythms. Sequences grow more complex. The more experienced dancers take greater risks. They jump higher and farther. Several men just clear low beams in the Pacific Beach studio. And this is just the warmup. City Ballet has been rehearsing its all-Balanchine program since early January. “Balanchine Spectacular,” on view at Spreckels Theatre March 6-8, preserves three of George Balanchine’s ballets: “Rubies,” “The Four Temperaments” and “Walpurgisnacht Ballet.” “We’re working hard,” said ballerina Ariana Gonzalez, “and we’re ready for the run at Spreckels. “Sandy is very tough, and we love her. We get lots of notes because she wants everything to be perfect.” She’s referring to Sandra Jennings, the Balanchine Trust repetiteur, who evaluates every aspect of the show — technique, rehearsal, lights, casting, even program notes. Based in New York, The Trust guards all of Balanchine’s ballets. Only dancers deemed

worthy may perform them. City Ballet danced its first Balanchine ballet in 1994. Now it has 18 in repertory. “I’m dancing ‘Rubies,’” Gonzalez said, “and I partner with Stefano (Candreva). The music is awesome and it’s extremely glamorous and athletic. It demands technique.” “Rubies” is one of three acts from “Jewels,” considered Balanchine’s first full-length abstract ballet. “Emeralds,” “Rubies,” and “Diamonds” each have a different composer and are linked by jewel-colored costumes. “The music for ‘Rubies’ is Stravinsky,” said Gonzalez, ”so it’s very dramatic. The toughest part is finding the stamina. The costumes are brilliant red and ornate, with strips for a skirt.” Gonzalez, formerly Ariana Samuelsson, grew up in this dance studio. Her parents, Steven and Elizabeth Wistrich, co-founded City Ballet in 1993. She danced with Atlanta Ballet and Joffrey Ballet, and returned to City Ballet in 2005. She recently married company dancer Geoff Gonzalez. “Geoff and I love this dance company. When my parents are ready, we’ll take over for them. We have so many great dancers.” She nods to diminutive Erica Alvarado, who sits on the floor next to her. “I’m dancing in ‘Walpurgisnacht’ and ‘Temperaments,’ and partner with Ryosuke

(Ogura),” Alvarado said. “His technique is amazing, so fancy and precise.” Balanchine choreographed “Walpurgisnacht Ballet” for a 1975 production of the opera “Faust,” composed by Charles Gounod. It’s the opera’s last act, when Mephistopheles brings Faust to watch the celebration of the eve of May Day, when the souls of dead wander. “It’s neoclassical and romantic,” Alvarado said. “I rotate with Katie Spanoletti in that ballet, and she’s one to watch in ‘Temperaments,’ too.” Created in the 1950s, “The Four Temperaments” is marked by dancers in simple workout clothes, repetitive gestures, and the dancer who arrives late and another who slips. “They are all challenging pieces,” said Alvarado. “We need those short intermissions so we can regroup and change costumes.” “Oh yeah, we need a few minutes to breath and fix our hair,” said Gonzalez. u n If you go: Performances are 8 p.m. March 6 and March 7; 2 p.m. March 8 at Spreckels Theatre, 121 Broadway, downtown San Diego. Tickets from $29 at (858) 2728663 and cityballet.org A prelude lecture begins 30 minutes prior to curtain.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $1,462,704.41 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful

bidder shall have no further recourse.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one 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. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 4777869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 012050-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (844) 477-7869 CLEAR RECON CORP.
